Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On September 3, 2025, the Stardust Power Inc. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. The Company’s stockholders previously approved the Reverse Stock Split and granted the board of directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 9, 2025.
The Reverse Stock Split will become effective on September 8, 2025 at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”) and the Common Stock is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on September 8, 2025 at market open. As of the Effective Time, every 10 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one share of Common Stock.
The par value and other terms of the Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock CUSIP number will be 854936 200.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to (i) the closing price on September 5, 2025, multiplied by (ii) the fraction of one share of which each stockholder owns, post-split.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Stardust Power Announces Reverse Stock Split to Regain Nasdaq Compliance and Position for Long-Term Growth
● Company reinforces commitment to shareholders and capital markets access as it advances engineering, permitting, and financing milestones for its U.S. lithium refining project.
Greenwich, Conn. – September 4, 2025 — Stardust Power Inc. (“Stardust Power” or the “Company”), an American developer of battery-grade lithium products, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s stockholders previously approved the reverse stock split proposal at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2025, authorizing the Board to determine the exact ratio and timing.
“Executing this reverse split is a strategic step forward for Stardust Power at this time. It allows the Company to attempt to regain full compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, ensuring we maintain access to the public markets, a platform to advance our project and build long-term value. This move not only strengthens our credibility to institutional investors but can also provide ongoing liquidity for our shareholders. We believe this move positions Stardust Power to continue executing on upcoming milestones that we expect will drive shareholder value as our U.S. lithium refining project progresses,” said Roshan Pujari, Founder and CEO of Stardust Power.
The reverse stock split will take effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on September 8, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), and beginning with that day’s market open, Stardust Power’s common stock will continue trading on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis under its existing ticker symbol, “SDST.”
At the Effective Time, every ten shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. The par value per share will remain unchanged at $0.0001. Following the split, the number of outstanding shares will be reduced to approximately 8,458,975. A new CUSIP number (854936 200) will apply, and no fractional shares will be issued, stockholders otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment.
The Company emphasized that this action is not a reflection of its fundamentals but a measure to ensure Stardust Power’s equity remains accessible to a broader universe of long-only institutional investors, which remains central to its long-term strategy of funding and advancing its battery-grade lithium refining project. This move also aligns the share price with the strategic direction and trajectory of the Company as it moves into the next chapter of scaling operations.

Looking ahead, Stardust Power expects to deliver several important milestones including completion of its Front-End Loading (FEL) 3 engineering work, advancement and completion of permitting, securing project financing for the CAPEX buildout of Phase 1, and ultimately commencing heavy construction on the Muskogee, Oklahoma lithium processing facility. Each of these steps represents not only operational progress but also potential value inflection points for shareholders, reinforcing the Company’s mission to establish a secure, domestic supply of battery-grade lithium in North America.
Additional details on the reverse stock split are available in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2025, accessible at www.sec.gov .
