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.
