What Happened
On April 13, 2026, Stardust Power Inc. (SDST) announced via a press release and an 8‑K (Regulation FD disclosure) that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a strategic counterparty to supply up to 15,000 metric tons per annum of lithium carbonate equivalent, delivered in the form of lithium chloride. The LOI is non‑binding, subject to further due diligence and the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, and there is no certainty a final agreement will be reached. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8‑K.

Key Details

• Date of disclosure: April 13, 2026 (8‑K filed under Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure).
• Quantity: up to 15,000 metric tons per annum of lithium carbonate equivalent.
• Form of product: lithium chloride.

Why It Matters
If a definitive agreement is reached, the arrangement could secure a substantial supply stream of lithium materials for Stardust Power, which is a key input for battery-related products and could affect future production capacity and revenue potential. However, the LOI is non‑binding and subject to further steps, so investors should treat this as an early-stage commercial development and watch for subsequent filings or announcements confirming a binding contract, pricing, timing, and any material financial terms.
