Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 17, 2025, Stardust Power Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriter, in a firm commitment public offering (the “Offering”), 21,500,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $0.20 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriter an over-allotment option to purchase up to 3,225,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option Shares,” together with Firm Shares, the “Shares”).

The Company expects to receive approximately $4,300,000 in gross proceeds from this Offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and other related offering expenses. This amount excludes any proceeds from the potential exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option. The Offering closed on June 18, 2025 with respect to the sale of the Firm Shares; the Underwriter’s option to purchase the Option Shares remains exercisable for 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement. Any Shares offered and sold in the Offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287939) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 11, 2025, and declared effective on June 16, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), and the final prospectus, dated June 16, 2025, relating to the Offering and filed with the SEC on June 18, 2025 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4). The Company currently intends to use the proceeds from this Offering to support the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS/FEL-3) in connection with the Company’s proposed lithium processing facility in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The Company previously filed the form of underwriting agreement as an exhibit to its Registration Statement.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, a copy of the Underwriting Agreement that is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company issued press releases announcing the pricing and closing of the Offering on June 17, 2025, and June 18, 2025, respectively. Copies of these press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are each incorporated herein by reference.
