NOTICE OF 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To Be Held on November 12, 2026

September 21, 2026

Dear Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of American Battery Technology Company (“we,” “us” or the “Company”), on November 12, 2026, beginning at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time, for the following purposes:

The Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting of shareholders.

You may attend the online meeting and vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting via the internet by visiting: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ABTC2026. We recommend that you log in at least fifteen minutes before the start of the Annual Meeting to ensure that you are logged in when the Annual Meeting starts.

The Board has fixed September 14, 2026, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. At the close of business on the Record Date, 142,577,758 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding. The presence, virtually or by proxy, of the holders of at least 33 1/3 percent of the Company’s shares entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

We will be using the “Notice and Access” method of providing proxy materials to you via the internet. On or about September 25, 2026, we will mail to our shareholders a Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement and our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and vote electronically via the internet. This Notice also contains instructions on how to receive a printed copy of your proxy materials. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

You may vote over the internet, as well as by telephone or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by mail pursuant to instructions provided on the proxy card. Please review the instructions for each of your voting options described in the Proxy Statement, as well as in the Notice you will receive in the mail.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to read the Proxy Statement and submit your proxy or voting instructions as soon as possible by internet, telephone or mail. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please refer to the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you will receive in the mail, or, if you request to receive printed proxy materials, your enclosed proxy card. Please note that shares held beneficially in street name may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.

Sincerely,

Ryan Melsert, Chief Executive Officer
