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

 

On October 27, 2025, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) approved the transfer of the listing of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Stardust Power Inc. (the “Company”) from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “NCM”). The transfer was effective at the opening of business on October 29, 2025, and the Company’s Common Stock, and redeemable warrants continue to trade under the symbols “SDST” and “SDSTW” respectively.

 

Stardust Power was set to appeal the previously disclosed notice under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) of Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “MVLS Rule”) at a hearing scheduled before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel scheduled for November 4, 2025, which, per a formal notice received on October 28, 2025, has been cancelled and the matter is now closed. This confirms that the Company had no outstanding deficiency matters and is in compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq. The transfer does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 31, 2025, the Company issued a press release regarding the compliance described above, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
