Supplement No. 1 to

Definitive Proxy Statement

for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 12, 2026

On April 28, 2026, Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. (the "Company") filed its definitive Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled to be held on June 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET (the "Annual Meeting"). The purpose of this Supplement No. 1 to the Proxy Statement (the "Supplement") is to reflect that Martijn Dekker, on June 3, 2026, informed the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") that he is resigning as a director effective as of that same date.

As a result of Mr. Dekker's resignation, the current Board consists of seven members. Mr. Dekker did not serve as a member of any Board committee.

Except as specifically updated and revised by this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged and should be considered in casting your vote by proxy or virtually at the Annual Meeting. Capitalized terms not defined in this Supplement have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.
