Accordingly, on September 10, 2025, Ms. Boissy-Rousseau and Mr. Soulas resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (the “Company”), effective immediately. Ms. Boissy-Rousseau’s and Mr. Soulas’ resignations were not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
Appointment of New Directors
On September 10, 2025, the Board filled the vacancies created by Ms. Boissy-Rousseau’s and Mr. Soulas’ resignations by appointing Messrs.

Ramadier and de Guilhem de Lataillade will not serve as members of any committee of the Board.
Messrs.

Such share purchase and the other transactions and relationships related thereto are described in further detail in Part II, Item 5 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 10, 2018, and in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 13, 2018, and the agreements related to such transactions are filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to such reports.

Except as set forth above, there are no arrangements or understandings between Messrs. Ramadier and de Guilhem de Lataillade and any other person pursuant to which Messrs. Ramadier and de Guilhem de Lataillade were selected as directors of the Company, there are no family relationships between Messrs.
