<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">You should have received
a proxy request to increased Acorn&rsquo;s authorized shares from 30 million shares to 42 million shares.&nbsp; Please vote your
shares in favor today.&nbsp; We are currently one million votes short of the required 50% majority we need to pass the resolution.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">You may recall that
in August 2015 we entered into a loan agreement with Leap Tide Capital III to borrow $2 million.&nbsp; That loan bore a 10% cash
interest rate and there was also an equity kicker.&nbsp; Leap Tide received 850,000 shares for making the loan and vested rights
to 179,000 shares for each month the loan was outstanding.&nbsp; Leap Tide agreed to make the loan even though we lacked the authorized
shares to pay the full amount of shares under the vested rights.&nbsp; Failure to approve the share increase will result in a penalty
where Leap Tide can put the vested share rights back to the company at $.40 per share.&nbsp; This would be ruinous to the value
of your investment in Acorn.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">We need your help
to approve the increase in the authorized shares so we avoid penalty.&nbsp; While I am no longer the CEO of Acorn, I remain the
largest shareholder.&nbsp; I believe our interests are aligned to approve this share increase.&nbsp; We are very close.&nbsp;
Please contact Acorn Energy&rsquo;s new CEO Jan Loeb at <U>jloeb@acornenergy.com</U> if you need any help voting your shares.</P>
