**Item 5.03** **Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year**

On August 20, 2025, Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") filed a Certificate of Amendment (the "Certificate of Amendment") to the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of its issued common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), in the ratio of 1-for-110 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), which was effective at 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on August 22, 2025. The Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on Monday, August 25, 2025.

The Reverse Stock Split and the form of Certificate of Amendment were previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors and the Company's stockholders. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 57630J 502. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's outstanding Common Stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company and number of authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of the preferred stock of the Company were not changed.

The above description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 8.01.** **Other Events**

**TO**

**THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED**

**CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION**

**OF**

**GREENWAVE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, INC.**

Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "***Corporation***"), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "***DGCL***"), does hereby certify:

FIRST. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by changing Article Fourth, so that, as amended, the following shall be added as Section 4.1(e):

"(e) <u>Reverse Stock Split</u>. Effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 22, 2025 (the "<u>Reverse Split Effective Time</u>"), every 110 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury shares as of the Reverse Split Effective Time shall automatically, and without action on the part of the stockholders, be combined, reclassified and changed into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, without effecting a change to the par value per share of Common Stock, subject to the treatment of fractional interests as described below (the "<u>Reverse Split</u>"). No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the exchange. In lieu thereof, any person who holds a fraction of one (1) share of Common Stock after the exchange shall have their fraction of one (1) share rounded up to the nearest whole fraction of one (1) share of Common Stock. As of the Reverse Split Effective Time and thereafter, a certificate representing shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split is deemed to represent the number of post-Reverse Split shares into which the pre-Reverse Split shares were reclassified and combined. The Reverse Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock of the Corporation and all references to such Common Stock in agreements, arrangements, documents and plans relating thereto, or any option or right to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed to be references to the Common Stock, or options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Split."

SECOND. That a resolution was duly adopted by unanimous written consent of the directors of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 242 of the DGCL, setting forth the above mentioned amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and declaring said amendment to be advisable.

THIRD. Pursuant to the resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation, a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation was duly called and held upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the DGCL at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the foregoing amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Amendment of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation this 20th day of August, 2025.

**Greenwave Announces Reverse Stock Split to Regain Nasdaq Compliance**

*Common stock will begin trading on reverse split-adjusted basis on August 25, 2025*

(Chesapeake, VA) August 20, 2025 – Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GWAV), an operator of metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, today announced that it intends to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") at a ratio of 1 post-reverse split share for every 110 pre-reverse split shares. The reverse stock split will become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, August 22, 2025. The Common Stock will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol GWAV and will begin trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Monday, August 25, 2025. The new CUSIP number of the Common Stock following the reverse stock split will be 57630J 502. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per-share trading price of the Common Stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 110 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to brokers' particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company's transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for shares held electronically in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either case representing the post-reverse split number of shares.

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional interest in Common Stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 62,794,283 shares, the number of shares outstanding on August 22, 2025, to approximately 570,858 shares, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price.
