PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
TO PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 8, 2003
FUELCELL ENERGY, INC.
225,286 Shares of Common Stock
On May 28, 2004, we sold the thermoelectric generator (TEG) business of Global Thermoelectric Inc., our former Canadian subsidiary. The sale was accomplished by the sale of all of the outstanding shares of Global. Prior to the sale, substantially all of Global’s assets and liabilities that were not part of its TEG business, including substantially all of Global’s assets and liabilities relating to its solid oxide fuelcell (SOFC) development business and essentially all of its cash, were transferred to FuelCell Energy, Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of FuelCell that we call ExchangeCo. FuelCell Energy, Ltd. was formerly named FCE Canada Inc.
In addition, Global’s Series 2 Preferred Shares
were cancelled and replaced with substantially equivalent Series 1 Preferred Shares issued by ExchangeCo. This prospectus, as supplemented, now relates to the resale, from time to time, by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus, of up to 225,286 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that we may issue, from time to time, upon conversion of the 1,000,000 Series 1 Preferred Shares issued by ExchangeCo.
