<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of FuelCell
Energy, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) has decided to cancel the Special Meeting of Stockholders previously scheduled to be held
on Friday, December 13, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (the &ldquo;Special Meeting&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company originally scheduled the Special Meeting to consider
(i) a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 225,000,000 shares to 450,000,000
shares, (ii) a proposal to authorize the Board to effect a reverse stock split through an amendment to the Company&rsquo;s Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies.
As discussed in the definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting, which was filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 6, 2019, one of the purposes of the proposed reverse stock split was to increase the closing bid
price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock to a level satisfactory to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements
&ndash; in particular, the minimum bid price requirement &ndash; of the Nasdaq Global Market. To regain compliance with such requirement,
the closing bid price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days by January 14, 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company will continue to execute on its business plan
in support of organic growth, and will also explore other options available to it to meet the Nasdaq minimum bid price
requirement, including the submission of an application to transfer the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital
Market and requesting an additional 180-day period to meet the minimum bid price requirement.</P>
