• Massive Dilutive Overhang

  Over 5.5 million shares of common stock and 5.5 million warrants are registered for resale by existing securityholders. This represents a substantial percentage of the company's outstanding shares (over 50% of current outstanding, or over 90% based on the filing's own calculation from an earlier date).

• No Direct Proceeds to Company

  Stardust Power will not receive any cash proceeds from these sales, except if warrants are exercised, which is unlikely given the high exercise price ($115.00 for public/private warrants) relative to the current stock price.

• Explicit Warning of Market Impact

  The company states that the substantial number of shares available for resale could increase stock volatility and result in a significant decline in the public trading price.

• Context of Financial Distress

  This registration occurs while the company is under a 'going concern' warning, has critically low cash reserves ($1.23 million as of March 31, 2026), and has received a Nasdaq delisting notice.

This prospectus supplement makes a massive number of shares and warrants available for sale by existing securityholders, creating a significant dilutive overhang on the stock. The company explicitly warns that this volume could increase volatility and lead to a substantial decline in share price. This comes at a critical time when Stardust Power is already facing a going concern warning, critically low cash reserves, and a Nasdaq delisting notice, further pressuring the stock without providing any direct capital to the company.
