Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 14, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SunHydrogen, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed David W. Raney as director, effective immediately. Mr. Raney will serve as a member of the Board until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Mr. Raney, age 70, most recently founded and served as chief executive officer of the Texas Hydrogen Alliance (“Alliance”), a non-profit trade organization that brings together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders and innovators to advocate for policies that advance the hydrogen economy, from 2022 to 2023. He currently serves as Executive Director Emeritus of Alliance. Prior to that, Mr. Raney served as a corporate executive for Toyota Motor North America from 2014 to 2021. Mr. Raney holds over 40 years of experience in the transportation industry, where he routinely served as a technical liaison between corporate R&D and executive teams and environmental and safety federal and state government regulators. Namely, he has held leadership roles at prominent automotive companies such as Deere & Company, Saab-Scania of America, General Motors, American Honda Motor Company and Toyota Motor North America.

The Board has concluded that Mr. Raney is qualified to serve on the Board because of his robust knowledge of alternative fuel regulation and emerging alternative fuel technologies, including battery and fuel cell electric vehicles and renewable hydrogen. Mr. Raney’s expertise is directly transferable to the Company’s business plan and scale-up efforts for its green hydrogen technology.

Mr. Raney will be eligible to receive compensation for his service as a director that is approved by the Board from time to time and will receive an initial grant of stock options to purchase ten million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Options”). The Stock Options will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and a stock option agreement.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Raney and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Raney was appointed director of the Company, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Raney and any director or executive officer of the Company.

Mr. Raney has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor are any such transactions currently proposed.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 15, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Raney. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
