Fluence Energy Appoints Siemens Nominee to Board; HQ Moves to Arlington

What Happened

• Fluence Energy announced on Aug. 27, 2026 that the Board appointed Stephan May (Chief Executive Officer of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure) as a director, effective immediately. Mr. May was designated by Siemens Industry under the parties’ Stockholders Agreement and will serve until the company’s 2027 annual meeting (or until his successor is elected).
• The appointment fills the vacancy left by Ruth Gratzke’s earlier resignation. Mr. May was also named to the Board’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee and entered the company’s standard director/officer indemnification agreement.
• Separately, effective Sept. 1, 2026, Fluence moved its principal executive offices from 4601 Fairfax Drive, Suite 600, Arlington, VA 22203 to 2107 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 900, Arlington, VA 22201; the company’s telephone number did not change.

Key Details

• Appointment date: August 27, 2026; Director term expires at the 2027 annual meeting.
• Designation: Mr. May is a Siemens Industry designee under the Stockholders Agreement (Siemens-related parties may designate up to three directors while they hold ≥20% of Class A shares).
• Committee role: Member of the Board’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee.
• Office move effective date: September 1, 2026 (new address: 2107 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 900, Arlington, VA 22201).

Why It Matters

• Board composition: The appointment maintains Siemens’ board representation under the Stockholders Agreement and could influence governance and strategic alignment between Fluence and Siemens affiliates. Mr. May’s Siemens role underscores the existing commercial and collaborative ties between the companies (supply, services, consortium work).
• Corporate operations: The office relocation is administrative—mailing/address updates for investors and counterparties—without reported change to operations or contact phone number.
• Investor takeaway: This 8-K signals continuity of Siemens’ influence on Fluence’s board and confirms an administrative headquarters move; investors should note the ongoing related-party relationships disclosed in Fluence’s prior filings for context.
