**Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.**

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**Commission**") on April 8, 2025, Stardust Power Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "**Company**") received Notice from Nasdaq indicating that, because the market value of the Company's Common Stock had been below $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) of Nasdaq Listing Rules (the "**MVLS Rule**").

The Company was provided with an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule during the allotted time period.

Accordingly, on October 1, 2025, the Company received a staff delist determination letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, as a result of its failure to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule.

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "**Panel**"). This hearing request will automatically stay Nasdaq's delisting of the Company's common stock and warrants pending the Panel's decision and any extension provided by the Panel. The Company intends to present its plan of compliance, which may include a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market listing tier.

As previously reported by Stardust on March 24, 2025, the Company received deficiency letters from the Staff on March 18, 2025, and March 19, 2025, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with (i) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) requiring a listed company to maintain a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares, as defined by Nasdaq, of $15 million and (ii) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requiring a listed company to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, respectively (such requirements, the "**Listing Requirements**"). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company successfully achieved compliance with these Listing Requirements within the stipulated given period of 180 calendar days (or by/until September 15, 2025).

**Forward Looking Statements**

Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by law.*
