(the &#8220;Company&#8221;), issuable under the Fuel Tech, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended in 2018 (the &#8220;LTIP&#8221;) which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) and became effective on January 9, 2015.</p>

Effective that date, no additional awards will be made under the LTIP. Effective immediately upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment to the Prior Registration Statement, the Company hereby deregisters the shares of Common Stock previously registered for offer and sale under the LTIP and remaining available for future issuance under the LTIP (the &#8220;Excess Shares&#8221;).

The Prior Registration Statement will remain in effect as to the LTIP to cover the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the awards to which the Carry Forward Shares are subject. Under the terms of the 2024 Plan, upon the expiration, termination, cancellation, forfeiture or repurchase of the subject awards, the Carry Forward Shares will become available for issuance under the 2024 Plan, will be deregistered from the Prior Registration Statement and will be carried forward to the New Registration Statement (as defined below).</p>
