Genie Energy Ltd.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Remediation. As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of the 2025 Form 10-K, we began implementing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses mentioned above. The weaknesses will not be considered remediated, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed in 2026.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. In the first quarter of 2026, we substantially completed the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, to maintain the Company's financial records, process transactions and financial reporting. We have made changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the related processes and systems. ∙ There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
