REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION

Reverse Recapitalization

REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION

NOTE 3 – REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION

As mentioned above in Note 1, the Business Combination was closed on July 8, 2024, and has been accounted for a reverse recapitalization because Legacy Stardust Power has been determined to be the accounting acquirer pursuant to ASC 805, “Accounting for Business Combinations”, based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

	●	Stardust Power shareholders who controlled Legacy Stardust Power prior to the Business Combination, retained the majority voting interest in the Combined Company immediately after the Business Combination;
	●	Legacy Stardust Power has the ability to elect a majority of the members of the Combined Company’s governing body;
	●	Legacy Stardust Power’s senior management makes up the senior management of the Combined Company;
	●	The Combined Company assumed Stardust Power’s name.

Therefore, as there was no change in control, the Business Combination was accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to Legacy Stardust Power along with a reverse recapitalization of the Company. Under the Business Combination, while GPAC II was the legal acquirer, it has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Stardust Power issuing stock for the net assets of GPAC II, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of GPAC II have been stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 4,773,665 shares of Common Stock outstanding with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The above includes 100,000 Sponsor Earnout Shares which were also issued at closing. While the Earnout Shares are legally issued and restricted, they are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes until resolution of the earnout contingency. Additionally, there were 5,566,667 Private Placement Warrants (defined below) and 4,999,929 of the Company’s detachable redeemable warrants and distributable redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) outstanding representing a right to purchase 1,056,659 Newco Stock.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the total number of Legacy Stardust Power ordinary shares issued and outstanding was 901,730. Further, as consideration for certain Class A ordinary shareholders entering into NRAs agreeing not to redeem or to reverse any redemption demands previously submitted, the Company issued 12,777 Class A ordinary shares of Stardust Power. The shares are fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the former owners of Legacy Stardust Power were granted and will have the ability to earn, in the aggregate, an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock (“Merger Earnout Shares”) if the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to $120.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period (or a change of control of the Company occurs), during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date. There are no service conditions or any requirement for the participants to provide goods or services in order to vest in the Merger Earnout Shares. Accordingly, we determined that the Merger Earnout Shares are not within the scope of ASC 718. Further, since the Merger Earnout Shares represent a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument, we evaluated the requirements of ASC 480 and concluded that the Merger Earnout Shares should not be classified as a liability and instead is a financial instrument within the scope of ASC 815.

The Merger Earnout Share arrangement contains two exercise contingencies – the daily volume weighted average stock price and a change of control neither of which is based on an observable market or an observable index other than one based on the Company’s stock. Further, with respect to settlement provisions, we noted that no provisions impact the fixed number of shares to be issued upon settlement, except for adjustments for standard anti-dilutive provisions. Furthermore, the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40-25 are also met. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Earnout Shares are indexed to the Common Stock and are accordingly classified as equity. As the merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the fair value of the Earnout Share arrangement as of the merger date, amounting to $25,071,500 has been accounted for as an equity transaction (as a deemed dividend) as of the closing date of the merger.

The Earnout Shares were valued using the following assumptions under the Monte Carlo Model that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date:

Market price of public stock	$	97.4
Expected term (years)		8 years
Volatility		60.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.25	%
Dividend rate		0.00	%

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Sponsor Earnout Shares

As part of the closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued 100,000 shares to Sponsor. These shares are subject to vesting (or forfeiture) based on achieving certain trading price thresholds following the closing (“Sponsor Earnout Shares”). Fifty percent of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest when the VWAP of the Common Stock price equals or exceeds $120.00 per share for a period of 20 trading days in a 30 trading day period, and the remaining fifty percent of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest when the VWAP of the Common Stock price equals or exceeds $140.00 per share for a period of 20 trading days in a 30 trading day period. There are no service conditions or any requirement for the participants to provide goods or services in order to vest in the Sponsor Earnout Shares. Accordingly, we determined that the Sponsor Earnout Shares are not within the scope of ASC 718. The accounting for the Sponsor Earnout Shares was evaluated under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, and ASC Subtopic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, to determine if the Sponsor Earnout Shares should be classified as a liability or within equity. As part of the analysis, it was determined that the Sponsor Earnout Shares subject to vesting are freestanding from other shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by the Sponsor and do not meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be considered indexed to the Combined Company Common Stock, due to the settlement provisions including a change in control component which could impact the number of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are ultimately settled for, which is not an input to a fixed-for-fixed option pricing model. As a result, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be classified as a liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout shares will be reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Upon the occurrence of a change in control, any remaining unvested Sponsor Earnout Shares become vested. Unvested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited if vesting does not occur prior to the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company assesses the fair value of expected earnout consideration at each reporting period using the Monte Carlo Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected earnout consideration. The Company did not perform a fair valuation of expected earnout consideration using the Monte Carlo method as of December 31, 2025, as the Company determined that change in fair value is deemed immaterial to the fair value of earnout consideration. As at December 31, 2025, and 2024, the fair value of Sponsor Earnout Shares amounted to $4,700 and $532,700, respectively.

The Sponsor Earnout Shares were valued using the following assumptions under the Monte Carlo Model that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date:

	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Market price of public stock	$	4.71			35.8
Expected term (years)		7.27 years			7.52 years
Volatility		75.00	%		65.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.10	%		4.50	%
Dividend rate		0.00	%		0.00	%

Promissory Notes And Write-offs

NOTE 14 – PROMISSORY NOTES AND WRITE-OFFS

On March 13, 2024, Legacy Stardust Power and IGX, entered into an exclusive letter of intent (the “IGX LOI”) to potentially acquire interests in certain mining claims (the “IGX Claims”). The Company paid a non-refundable payment of $30,000 in connection with obtaining a binding exclusivity right.

On March 15, 2024, Legacy Stardust Power and Usha Resources Ltd. (“Usha Resources”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “Jackpot LOI”), except for certain binding terms such as those relating to the exclusivity period until September 30, 2025, as extended, to acquire an interest in Usha Resources’ lithium brine project, situated in the United States. Usha Resources is an established lithium developer with multiple projects in development. The Jackpot Lake Lithium Brine Project is a flagship asset of Usha Resources and is a lithium brine asset located in the United States, comprised of 8,714 acres of property. The project is currently engaged in its maiden drill program. The Jackpot LOI provides Stardust Power with the exclusive option to agree to acquire up to 90% of the interests held by Usha Resources in the Jackpot Lake project, based on an indicative earn-in schedule. As part of a definitive agreement, Stardust Power would be required to invest into the development of the Jackpot Lake project. The Company has made a non-refundable payment of $25,000 upon execution of the Jackpot LOI in connection with securing exclusivity and a further $50,000 payment (the “Second Payment”) was made by the Company on May 14, 2024; provided that the Second Payment shall be non-refundable except if Usha Resources breaches the terms of the Jackpot LOI at which point Usha Resources shall refund the Second Payment together with all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other advisors hereof) incurred by the Company. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the likelihood of entering into definitive agreements with Usha Resources Ltd. had diminished significantly. As a result, the Company wrote off the outstanding deposit balance of $50,000 related to the non-refundable payments made under the Jackpot LOI with Usha Resources. The Company recognized a loss of $50,000 in the Other Income/Expense section of the consolidated statements of operations for year ended December 31, 2025.

On August 16, 2024, Legacy Stardust Power entered into a promissory note arrangement with IGL (the “IG Lithium Note”) in the principal amount of $316,000 to allow the Company to potentially enter into related agreements and partnerships with IGL. The proceeds of the promissory note were intended to fund costs associated with mineral claims and related land maintenance activities held by IGL, including applicable filing fees and associated administrative costs. During year ended December 31, 2025, the Company wrote off the outstanding balance of the IG Lithium Note, including accrued interest, in the aggregate amount of $332,363, as the note was deemed unrecoverable and the likelihood of entering into definitive agreements with IGL had diminished significantly. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $332,363, which is included in the Other Income (Expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations for year ended December 31, 2025.

On August 19, 2024, Legacy Stardust Power entered into a promissory note arrangement with IGX (the “IGX Note”) for $176,000 to allow the Company to potentially be able to enter into related agreements and partnerships with IGX. The payment is made solely for the payment of all 2024 Bureau of Land Management fees and county land maintenance fees, notice of intent and associated filing fees for the claims owned by IGX. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company wrote off the promissory note balance including interest in the amount of $182,481 as the note was deemed unrecoverable from IGX and the likelihood of entering into definitive agreements with IGX had diminished significantly. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $182,481 in the Other Income/Expense section of the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 18 – INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which requires the use of the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed.

Income/(loss) before provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

		Year ended December 31, 2025				Year ended December 31, 2024
United States		$	(15,723,636	)		$	(23,753,863	)

The federal and state income tax provision (benefit) is summarized as follows:

		Year ended December 31, 2025		Period from March 16, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024
Current
Federal	$	-	$	-
State*		-		-
Other		-		-
Total current tax expense		-		-

Deferred
Federal		-		-
State		-		-
Other		-		-
Total deferred tax expense		-		-

Total tax expense	$	-	$	-

Immaterial amounts

The Company had no income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.

Stardust Power Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s deferred taxes as of December 31 are as follows:

Total deferred tax liabilities		(967	)		(495	)

Valuation allowance		(9,077,001	)		(7,200,179	)
Net deferred taxes	$	-		$	-

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is more likely than not. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance.

The valuation allowance increased by $1,876,822 during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $6,611,889 during the period December 31, 2024.

Net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards as of the Financial Statement Date December 31, 2025, are as follows:

	Amount		Expiration Years

Net operating losses, federal (Post December 31, 2017)	$	22,503,903	Do Not Expire
Net operating losses, state		6,438,506	2044
Capital loss carryforward		1,029,745	2030

(a)

These represent equity investments with a readily determinable fair value. The Company has measured its investments to fair value in accordance with ASC 321, Investments-Equity Securities, based on quoted prices in active markets.

(b)

For Level 3 earnout liability, the Company assesses the fair value of expected earnout liability at each reporting period using the Monte Carlo Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected earnout consideration. This fair value measurement is considered a Level 3 measurement because the Company estimates projections during the earnout period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. The Monte Carlo simulation method repeats a process thousands of times in an attempt to predict all the possible future outcomes. At the end of the simulation, several random trials produce a distribution of outcomes that are then analyzed to determine the average present value of earnout. Change in the fair value of earnout liability is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

The make-whole obligation liability related to the Purchase Agreement is measured at fair value categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6.

The following table provides a reconciliation of activity and changes in fair value for the Company’s SAFE notes, 2024 convertible notes and Sponsor earnout liability:

	SAFE notes at fair value			2024 Convertible notes at fair value			Sponsor Earnout liability at fair value
Balance as at December 31, 2023	$	5,212,200		$	-		$	-
Issuance of notes		200,000			2,100,000			-
Sponsor earnout liability recognized on closing of Business Combination		-			-			4,608,900
Change in fair value		955,000			471,400			(4,076,200	)

Change in fair value		-			-			(528,000	)
Balance as at December 31, 2025	$	-		$	-		$	4,700

The valuation of the Level 3 measurement for SAFE notes considered the probabilities of the occurrence of the scenarios as discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the period March 16, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024. The Company valued the SAFE notes based on the occurrence of the preferred financing or a SPAC transaction. As of the date of initial measurement and December 31, 2023, the management has assigned zero probability for a change in control event or a dissolution event. Pursuant to the consummation of the Business Combination and in accordance with the terms of the convertible equity and SAFE note agreements, the SAFE notes and 2024 convertible notes converted into 63,692 and 25,722 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively.

Equity [Abstract]

COMMON STOCK

NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK

On July 8, 2024, the Common Stock and warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “SDST” and “SDSTW”, respectively.

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of Common Stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the board of directors (the “Board”), subject to prior rights of the convertible preferred stockholders. Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit includes shares related to restricted stock that are subject to repurchase.

The Company is authorized to issue 700,000,000 and 100,000,000 shares, par value of $0.0001 per share, of Common Stock and Preferred stock, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the Company had 9,869,558 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Not reflected in the shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025, is approximately 67,000 shares of Common Stock related to shares issued to a vendor and restricted stock units that vested in 2025, but have not yet been settled and issued. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 4,773,628 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, issued and outstanding.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into the Prior B. Riley Agreements. Pursuant to the Prior B Riley Agreements, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC up to the lesser of (i) $50.0 million of Common Stock, and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below) (subject to certain conditions and limitations), from time to time during the 36-month term of the Prior B. Riley Agreements. Under the applicable NASDAQ rules, the Company may not issue to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Prior B. Riley Agreements more than 9,569,700 shares of Common Stock, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the common shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Prior B. Riley Agreements unless certain exceptions are met (the “Exchange Cap”). The purchase price of the shares of common stock were determined by reference to the VWAP of the common stock during the applicable purchase date, less a fixed 3% discount to such VWAP. Additionally, B. Riley Principal Capital II cannot acquire shares that would result in its beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of Stardust Power’s outstanding shares. The Exchange Cap does not apply if the average share price exceeds $77.020 per share but will remain in place if this threshold is not met and stockholder approval is not obtained. The Company evaluated this common stock purchase agreement to determine whether they should be accounted for considering the guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded that it is an equity-linked contract that does not qualify for equity classification, and therefore requires fair value accounting as a derivative. The Company has analyzed the terms of the freestanding purchased put right and has concluded that it had insignificant value as of December 31, 2024.

Upon executing the Prior B. Riley Agreements, the Company also issued 6,369 shares of Common Stock called Commitment Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC as a consideration for this agreement. These shares, valued at $78.5 each (based on Nasdaq’s closing price on October 4, 2024), represent 1.0% of B. Riley Principal Capital II’s $50 million purchase commitment under the agreement. The cost of this on the effective date of the purchase agreement was $500,000 and is a component of finance charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Regarding the aforementioned commitment shares, the Prior B. Riley Agreements specifies the following:

	a)	If B. Riley Principal Capital II’s resale of the Commitment Shares yields less than $500,000 by specified dates, the Company may need to pay up to $500,000 in cash (“make-whole” payment)
	b)	No cash payment will be made if B. Riley Principal Capital II net proceeds from reselling the shares meet or exceed $500,000.
	c)	If B. Riley Principal Capital II’s resale proceeds exceed $500,000, it will pay the Company 50% of the amount above $500,000.

Under the terms of the Prior B. Riley Agreements, if the aggregate proceeds received by B. Riley Principal Capital II from its resale of the Commitment Shares is less than $500,000 then, upon notice by B. Riley Principal Capital II, the Company must pay the difference between $500,000, and the aggregate proceeds received by B. Riley Principal Capital II from its resale of the Commitment Shares. On December 31, 2024, the fair market value of the Commitment Shares was $227,989. Therefore, the Company’s make-whole obligation was $272,011, and this amount was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2024.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company agreed to reimburse B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC an amount of $75,000 for legal fees related to the Prior B. Riley Agreements, with $25,000 paid upfront and $50,000 withheld by B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC from 50% of the purchase price of shares acquired in initial and subsequent purchases under the agreement until the full amount is covered. If the $50,000 is not fully withheld by December 31, 2025, or upon agreement termination, the Company must pay the remaining balance in cash. Additionally, the Company will reimburse up to $5,000 per fiscal quarter for B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC’s legal fees related to due diligence and related matters.

The Company issued 638,048 shares of Common Stock through December 31, 2025, aggregating to net proceeds of $2,069,685 under the Prior B. Riley Agreements.

On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Prior B. Riley Agreements. As part of the termination, the Company agreed to satisfy the make-whole payment as per the terms of the Prior B. Riley Agreements of $471,942, in three equal portions: (i) through the issuance of restricted common stock priced at $4.40 per share and subject to resale registration, (ii) in cash upon the Company’s next equity or convertible financing, and (iii) in connection with a future equity line, at-the-market program, or similar financing that the Company is currently working on with the Investor or its affiliate, or otherwise in cash if unpaid by September 30, 2026. On December 15, 2025, the Company issued 35,753 shares of common stock (“Settlement Shares”) to B. Riley Principal Capital II to satisfy one-third of the make-whole payment as per the terms of the Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Settlement Shares was $109,405 which was less than one-third of the make whole obligation of $157,315. Accordingly, the Company recorded an accrual of $47,910 representing the differential between the fair value of the Settlement Shares as of December 31, 2025, and one-third of the make-whole obligation. As of December 31, 2025, the total make-whole obligation balance amounted to $362,538 and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in the fair value of the make-whole obligation is recorded as a component of finance charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Subsequent to year end, on February 12, 2026, the Company entered into the B. Riley Agreements with B. Riley Principal Capital II, the selling stockholder. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to sell up to $10,000,000 of Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, from time to time during the term of the B. Riley Purchase Agreement. Sales of Common Stock pursuant to the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company. The Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this filing, the Company has issued 29,067 shares of Common Stock aggregating to net proceeds of $94,193. The Company is currently evaluating the appropriate accounting treatment for the B. Riley Agreements.

Public Offering and Warrant Inducement

On January 27, 2025, the Company consummated a public offering of 479,200 shares of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 479,200 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share and warrant, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $5,750,400 before offering expenses of $1,159,331. The common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $13.00 per share and expiring five years from issuance, were issued under an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284298) filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) that became effective on January 23, 2025. The Company evaluated the common stock purchase warrants issued under this public offering to determine whether they should be accounted for considering the guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded that the warrants are freestanding and are indexed to the Company’s own stock and are classified as equity.

On March 16, 2025, the Company entered into the Inducement Letter with the Exercising Holder providing for the immediate cash exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase 479,200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $6.20 per share. In order to further incentivize the early exercise of these outstanding warrants, the Company also agreed to issue Inducement Warrants to purchase up to 958,400 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, subject to shareholder approval and Nasdaq rules. Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the warrant holders exercised the outstanding warrants on March 18, 2025, and the Company received gross proceeds of $2,971,040 before cash offering expenses of $172,841. In connection with the Inducement Letter, the Company entered into a financial advisory services agreement with the placement agent, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a cash fee of 4% of the cash proceeds raised in the offering, in addition to reimbursement for certain expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company evaluated the common stock purchase warrants issued under this inducement offer to determine whether they should be accounted for considering the guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded that the warrants are freestanding and are indexed to the Company’s own stock and are classified as equity. The Company recognized the incremental fair value due to effect of the modification of approximately $2,108,480 as an equity issuance cost and charged the same against proceeds. The incremental fair value of the warrants resulting from the modification (comprising of decrease in exercise price from $13.00 to $6.20 per share and the issue of additional 9,584,000 warrants) was measured as the excess of the fair value of the modified warrants over the fair value of the original warrants immediately before modification. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants immediately before the modification and the fair value of the New Inducement Warrants after the modification using the Black-Scholes valuation model with an expected term of 5.00 years, expected volatility of 75%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 4.11%.

On October 30 2025, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with the Exercising Holder. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Exercising Holder agreed to irrevocably exchange the Warrant Shares, for newly issued shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 1.31 Warrant Shares for 1 share of Common Stock, resulting in the issuance to the Exercising Holder of 730,689 shares of Common Stock at closing with no other payment or any other additional consideration from the investor. At the Closing, the Existing Warrants were surrendered for cancellation, deemed automatically cancelled and retired in full, and all rights, liabilities and obligations thereunder were discharged in full. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company incurred a fee of $75,000 that was incremental and directly attributable to the execution of the warrant exchange transaction which resulted in the issuance of common stock. This fee was settled in cash and recorded as a reduction to APIC during the year ended December 31, 2025.

On June 18, 2025, the Company consummated a public offering of 2,150,000 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $2.00 per share, generating aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,300,000 before underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The offering was conducted pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting agreement entered into with the underwriters, on June 17, 2025. The offering was made under an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287939), which was declared effective by the SEC on June 16, 2025. In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 322,500 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On June 25, 2025, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option, purchasing an additional 110,000 shares at the same public offering price, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $220,000. After giving effect to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the aggregate gross proceeds from the offering increased to approximately $4,520,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses of $574,325.

KMX Licensing Agreement

On February 7, 2025 the Company executed the License Agreement with KMX. Under the terms of the License Agreement, KMX agreed to irrevocably license to the Company the use of KMX’s VMD Technology and associated KMX VMD Units for use in the Company’s refining and upstream operations. Among other obligations set forth in the License Agreement, the Company shall be required to exclusively purchase all KMX VMD Units from the Licensor during the term of the License Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein. The License Agreement grants the Company the exclusive right to sub license, use, market, sell and operate KMX’s VMD Technology across the United States, Canada and select international markets. As a consideration for this license, the Company agreed to pay KMX a royalty comprised of 50,000 shares of Company Common Stock. The securities are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving a public offering.

As of the License Agreement Effective Date, the license did not meet the recognition criteria for an intangible asset under U.S. GAAP, as it did not provide probable future economic benefits independent of the KMX VMD Units, which are expected to be acquired only upon the commencement of operations at the Company’s planned facility. Accordingly, the Company initially recognized a liability of $343,000 as other long-term liabilities, with a corresponding debit recorded as other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. On April 24, 2025, the Company issued the 50,000 shares of Common Stock to KMX in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement. As a result, the liability has been settled and the corresponding amounts were credited to equity and APIC as of December 31, 2025.

Private Placement Agreement

On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into binding term sheets with certain investors (“2024 Investors”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell, and the 2024 Investors have agreed to purchase, Company securities for an aggregate amount of $550,000 (the “Private Placement”). The 2024 Investors have agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to issue and sell, up to $550,000 in shares of Common Stock at a price equal to 95% of the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the closing date for the Private Placement. In addition, each 2024 Investor will receive warrants representing the right, exercisable within five years of the closing date, to purchase up to 50% of the shares of Common Stock purchased by such 2024 Investor in the Private Placement, with 10 warrants exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $115.00. The Company received proceeds of $425,000 in December 2024 and additional proceeds of $125,000 in January 2025 from certain 2024 Investors. The Company had accounted for this as Advance from PIPE investor for shares and warrants to be issued based on purchase agreement to be entered on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. On April 24, 2025, the Company issued 12,850 shares of Common Stock and 64,251 Warrants to the investors.

Vendor shares issuance, pending settlement

On October 30, 2025, the Company approved issuance of 65,000 shares of common stock to a vendor for services to be rendered over a period of 12 months. The shares fully vested upon issuance and will be expensed as services are received. The Company recognized consulting expense of $75,562 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and a prepaid expense of $226,688 as of December 31, 2025. The corresponding amounts were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The shares had not been issued as of December 31, 2025.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

As the Business Combination has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the consolidated financial statements of the merged entity reflect the continuation of Legacy Stardust Power, Inc. consolidated financial statements. Legacy Stardust Power’s. equity has been retroactively adjusted to the earliest period presented to reflect the legal capital of the legal acquirer, GPAC II. As a result, the number of shares was also retrospectively adjusted for periods ended prior to the Business Combination.

Shares Issued at Inception

At March 16, 2023 (inception of Legacy Stardust Power), certain employees and service providers participated in the purchase of restricted Common Stock of Legacy Stardust Power aggregating to 253,123 shares. Out of the total, certain restricted stock vested immediately and remaining unvested restricted stock aggregating to 119,198 shares vests over 24 months subject to service conditions and accelerated vesting upon certain events. The agreements also contain a repurchase option noting that if the employee or service provider is terminated, for any reason, the Company has the right and option to repurchase the service provider’s unvested restricted Common Stock. Since all shareholders purchased the shares at par value and the shares had no incremental value beyond the par value as at that date, during the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025, the stock-based compensation expense impact was insignificant. As at December 31, 2025, all the shares had been fully vested. Any shares subject to repurchase by the Company are not deemed, for accounting purposes, to be outstanding until those shares vest. The amount to be recorded as liabilities associated with shares issued with repurchase rights were immaterial as at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

2023 Equity Incentive Plan

At March 16, 2023, the Legacy Stardust Power stockholders approved the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan and 230,112 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Board adopted a resolution to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan by 115,056 shares of Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no grants under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

During October and November 2023, Legacy Stardust Power granted options for 227,810 shares of stock options under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan: 218,606 options were granted to employees, and 9,204 options were granted to a consultant. The employee grants vest over a period of 3 to 5 years, and the consultant grant vests over 18 months. The options granted to both employees and the consultant were exercisable at the exercise price of $0.065.

All the options under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan were early-exercised by grantees. Accordingly, the Company received a total amount of $14,850 towards the early exercise of these options during the period from March 16, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, and recorded a liability against the early exercise of these options.

On December 14, 2023, the Company repurchased 92,044 unvested shares that were granted to an employee under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan at the original exercise price of $0.065. The Company repaid a total amount of $6,000 for the repurchase of these early exercised shares from the employee in January 2024. The amount was charged against the ‘Early exercised shares option liability’.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,557 unvested shares that were granted to a consultant and 23,011 unvested shares that were granted to an employee under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan at the original exercise price of $0.065.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 24,449 unvested shares that were granted to an employee under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan at the original exercise price of $0.065.

The early exercised shares liability amounting to $1,735 and $4,628 is outstanding as at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is presented under ‘Early exercised shares option liability’ on the consolidated balance sheet.

As at December 31, 2025, total unvested compensation cost for stock options granted to employees not yet recognized was $142,940. The Company expects to recognize this compensation over a weighted average period of approximately 1.50 years.

Expected volatility		60% - 70	%
Risk-free interest rate at grant date		3.84 - 3.86	%
Dividend yield		0	%

Due to the absence of an active market for the Company’s Common Stock at the time of the grant, the Company utilized methodologies in accordance with the framework of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid (Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation) to estimate the fair value of its Common Stock. In determining the exercise prices for options granted, the Company has considered the estimated fair value of the Common Stock as at the grant date. The estimated fair value of the Common Stock has been determined at each grant date based upon a variety of factors, including the business, financial condition and results of operations, economic and industry trends, the illiquid nature of the Common Stock, the market performance of peer group of similar publicly traded companies, and future business plans of the Company. Significant changes to the key assumptions underlying the factors used could result in different fair values of Common Stock at each valuation date.

The Company based the risk-free interest rate on a U.S. Treasury Bond Yield with a term substantially equal to the option’s expected term.

The Company based the expected volatility on a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility derived from price of publicly traded shares of peer group of similar companies.

The expected term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term for option grants is determined using the simplified method which represents the average of the contractual term of the option and the weighted average vesting period of the option. The Company considers this appropriate as there is not sufficient historical information available to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior.

Restricted Stock Units

During April and June 2024, Legacy Stardust Power granted 202,498 restricted stock units (“2023 Plan RSUs”) to employees under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. These 2023 Plan RSUs are subject to a service-based vesting requirement, and a liquidity plus service-based vesting requirement, which is defined as completion of a go public transaction or a change in control. In order for any shares to vest, both the service-based vesting requirement and the liquidity plus service-based vesting requirement must be satisfied with respect to such shares. The liquidity conditions were met on July 8, 2024, upon consummation of the Business Combination, and therefore compensation expenses related to these awards began to be recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024, using a graded vesting method over the requisite service period.

Given the absence of a public trading market prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Legacy Stardust Power board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its common stock at each grant date. These factors included, but were not limited to: (i) independent contemporaneous third-party valuations of common stock; (ii) the prices for the Company’s 2024 convertible notes sold to outside investors; (iii) the rights and preferences of convertible preferred stock relative to common stock; (iv) the lack of marketability of its common stock; (v) developments in the business; and (vi) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO, given prevailing market conditions. Subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, the fair value of common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported on Nasdaq on the date of grant.

RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2025, and balances as at the end of December 31, 2025, were as follows:

SCHEDULE OF RESTRICTED STOCK ACTIVITY

	Number of shares			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested as at December 31, 2024		100,484		$	86.71

Vested		(45,923	)		86.24
Forfeited		-			-
Unvested as at December 31, 2025		54,561		$	87.10

The total compensation expense for RSUs recognized in the General and administrative expenses of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations was $ 3,788,720 and $ 6,789,594 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The total fair value of RSU’s vested during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $3,960,491. As at December 31, 2025, total unvested compensation cost for RSUs granted to employees not yet recognized was $1,526,262. The Company expects to recognize this compensation over a weighted average period of approximately 1.55 years.

In October 2024, one of the employees transitioned to a consultant role, under a Consulting Agreement. A Service Provider Letter dated November 27, 2024, confirmed his continued status under the Equity Incentive Plan. On December 31, 2024, his consulting agreement was terminated. Following the termination on December 31, 2024, as part of his severance benefits, 17,258 RSUs that were scheduled to vest on March 15, 2025, which otherwise would have been forfeited upon separation, were accelerated with vesting as on December 31, 2024.

The Company determined that the acceleration of the unvested units constituted a Type III modification in accordance with ASC 718, since the expectation of the award vesting changed from improbable to probable, which resulted in a new measurement of compensation cost. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the acceleration resulted in the recognition of $617,851 of stock-based compensation expense using the reassessed fair value on the modification date and a reversal of $1,190,220 in stock-based compensation expense for previously recognized expense using the original grant date fair value.

2024 Equity Incentive Plan

The Board adopted, and the stockholders of the Company approved, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan in September 2024. The maximum number of shares with respect to one or more awards that may be granted to any one participant during any calendar year shall be 467,366 shares of Common Stock. The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs, PSUs share appreciation rights, restricted shares, dividend equivalents, substitute awards, and other share or cash-based awards (such as cash bonus awards and performance awards) for issuance to employees or consultants of the Company (or any of the Company’s parents or subsidiaries), or directors of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted employees (a) 48,871 RSUs which are subject to a service based vesting requirement, (b) 105,927 RSUs fully vested as of the date of grant to employees and (c) 8,918 RSUs fully vested as of the date of grant to consultants.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted (a) 152,429 RSUs to independent directors, officers, employees and consultants which are subject to a service based vesting requirement, (b) 7,400 RSUs fully vested as of the date of grant to consultants and (c) 50,658 PSUs to employees with a service and market condition.

These PSUs cliff vest at the end of a three-year term subject to share price based market condition (i.e., the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to $120.00 per share for a period of 20 trading days in any 30 trading day period or there is a change of control, or the PSUs are otherwise forfeited). The compensation expense for these RSUs and PSUs were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the award.

The fair value of common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq on the date of grant.

NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND WARRANTS

2024 Convertible Notes

On April 24, 2024, Legacy Stardust Power entered into a convertible equity agreement (the “2024 Convertible Notes”) for $2,000,000 with AIGD. Further, the Company entered into separate convertible equity agreements with other individuals for a total of $100,000 in April 2024, based on similar terms to the AIGD convertible equity agreement. The 2024 Convertible Notes were classified as a liability based on evaluating characteristics of the instrument and were presented at fair value as a non-current liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as at June 30, 2024. The estimated fair value of the 2024 Convertible Notes considered the timing of issuance and whether there were changes in the various scenarios since issuance. The 2024 Convertible Notes had no interest rate or maturity date, no description of Dividend and no participation rights. The liquidation preference of the 2024 Convertible Notes was junior to other outstanding indebtedness and creditor claims, on par with payments for other SAFE notes and/or preferred equity, and senior to payments for other equity of the Company that is not convertible and/or pari preferred equity.

Pursuant to the consummation of the Business Combination and in accordance with the terms of the convertible equity agreements, the 2024 Convertible Notes converted into 25,722 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and therefore no further fair valuation was required as at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Lind 2025 Convertible Notes

On December 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Security Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Lind Global Asset Management XIII LLC (“Lind”) providing for up to $15,000,000 in senior secured convertible debt financing. At closing, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 in exchange for issuing to Lind a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with a principal amount of $4,800,000 (the “2025 Convertible Note”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase approximately 411,245 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2025 Lind Warrant”). The Company received net cash proceeds of $3,792,500, after payment of a $100,000 commitment fee and $107,500 of legal fees.

The 2025 Convertible Note does not bear a stated rate of interest. The principal is repayable in twenty (20) consecutive monthly instalments of $240,000 each, commencing 120 days after the issuance date. The outstanding principal balance of 2025 Convertible Note shall be due and payable on December 23, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Each monthly instalment (each, a “Monthly Payment”) may, at the Company’s election, be satisfied in (i) cash (together with an additional cash payment of 4% of the amount paid in cash), (ii) shares of common stock (“Repayment Shares”), or (iii) a combination of cash and Repayment Shares. The number of Repayment Shares is determined by dividing the portion of principal being paid in shares by the Repayment Share Price, defined as 90% of the average of five (5) consecutive daily VWAP selected by Lind during the 20 trading days preceding the issuance of the Repayment Shares.

The 2025 Convertible Note is convertible at Lind’s option, from time to time, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.837 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and down-round adjustments, provided that no adjustment shall result in the conversion price that is less than $0.653 (the “floor price”). The floor price is further subject to periodic adjustment (the “adjusted floor price”), which is determined on every six months from the initial issuance date as the lower of (i) the then-current floor price and (ii) 20% of the lower of (a) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the adjustment date and (b) the average closing price over a specified recent trading period. If the adjusted floor price is lower than the then-current floor price, the floor price is automatically reduced to such adjusted floor price.

Conversion of the note is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation (which may be increased to 9.99% under certain conditions). In addition, the total number of shares issuable upon conversion is subject to limitations under applicable stock exchange rules (including the 19.99% cap) unless shareholder approval is obtained. If shareholder approval is not obtained within one year, any remaining outstanding balance of the note may be required to be settled in cash at the option of Lind in accordance with the terms of the note.

In the event that any amount payable by the Company under the 2025 Convertible Note is not paid when due, such amount shall accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, from the due date until the date of payment. Accrued and unpaid amounts, including interest on overdue interest, shall become payable on demand.

The 2025 Convertible Note may be transferred or sold by Lind, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, Lind may pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise grant the Note as security for any obligations.

The 2025 Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole upon 10 days’ prior written notice. In the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may elect to convert up to one-third (1/3) of the then-outstanding principal at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price or (ii) the Repayment Share Price.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change in control, Lind has the right to require the Company to prepay the note at an amount equal to the outstanding principal plus five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus any other amounts owed under this Note. Such amount becomes payable immediately prior to the consummation of the change in control event.

The 2025 Convertible Note provides that if the Company’s common stock ceases to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or another national securities exchange), Lind (or its assignee) may deliver a demand for payment to the Company. Upon such demand, the Company is required, within 10 business days, to pay all outstanding principal under the Lind notes in cash, or, at Lind’s election, Lind may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the then-current Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs during the 20 trading days preceding delivery of the related conversion notice.

If the Company is unable to issue all of the shares required upon conversion of the 2025 Convertible Note because of insufficient authorized shares or due to legal, regulatory or exchange restrictions, the Company will issue the maximum number of shares it is legally permitted to issue. For any portion for which shares cannot be issued, Lind may, at its option, (i) require cash prepayment in an amount equal to the number of unissued shares multiplied by the lesser of the Conversion Price and the Repayment Share Price, (ii) void the applicable conversion notice and retain the note (with related amounts continuing to accrue), or (iii) defer issuance until it becomes legally permissible, with the principal relating to such portion remaining outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The 2025 Convertible Note contains customary events of default, including, among others: failure to pay principal, premium, fees or other amounts when due; failure to comply with covenants or other obligations under the Lind Securities Purchase Agreement or related transaction documents; failure or refusal to honor conversion requests or timely deliver conversion shares (including failure to remove restrictive legends or to provide required transfer agent instructions); failure to maintain sufficient authorized and reserved shares for full conversion of the note; certain change-of-control transactions not otherwise permitted; cross-defaults or accelerations of other indebtedness in excess of $500,000; voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency events (subject to specified cure periods, where applicable); unsatisfied final judgments in excess of $500,000; delisting or trading suspension of the Company’s common stock, loss of DTC/FAST eligibility or going-private transactions; challenges to the enforceability of the Lind agreements; the Company’s market capitalization falling below $15 million for ten consecutive trading days; and the occurrence of a material adverse effect.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Lind may declare immediately due and payable an amount equal to 110% of the then-outstanding principal balance of the 2025 Convertible Note plus any other amounts then outstanding under the note and related transaction documents. In addition, following an event of default Lind may, at its option, convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal into common stock at a price equal to the lower of (i) the then-current Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs during the 20 trading days immediately preceding delivery of the applicable conversion notice. For certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events of default, such amounts becomes immediately due and payable without further notice or demand.

If the Company incurs indebtedness, including subordinated debt or debt convertible into equity, that is redeemable by the Company for an aggregated proceed of more than $2.5 million (in one or more transactions), the Company is required to use the proceeds from such issuance to repay amounts outstanding under the note, unless otherwise waived by Lind.

Based upon the Company’s analysis, it was determined that the 2025 Convertible Notes contain embedded features requiring recognition as derivatives and bifurcation. However, the Company determined the fair value of these embedded derivatives was immaterial as of December 31, 2025, and therefore measured the 2025 Convertible Note at amortized cost and recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Because the 2025 Convertible Note and related warrant were issued in a single financing transaction, the Company allocated the net proceeds to the 2025 Convertible Note and the warrants based on their relative fair values. A portion of the total debt issuance costs of $207,500 was allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, resulting in an allocation of $34,610 to the warrants and $172,890 to the 2025 Convertible Note. In total, approximately $34,610 was recorded in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) related to the warrants, and a debt discount and debt issuance costs of approximately $1,640,062 was recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the 2025 Convertible Note, representing the difference between the $4,800,000 principal amount and the amount allocated to the debt component at issuance.

As of December 31, 2025, the principal amount outstanding under the 2025 Convertible Note was $4,800,000, and unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, including amount attributed to warrants issued, totaled $1,606,994, resulting in a net carrying amount of $3,193,006 at an effective interest rate of 43.2%. As of December 31, 2025, the estimate fair value of the instrument approximates carrying value given the instrument was issued in December 2025 and has a short time period until maturity.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $33,068 of interest expense related to the 2025 Convertible Note, representing amortization of debt discount and issuance cost. Such interest expense is included within interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The future contractual payment of 2025 convertible note as of December 31, 2025, are as follows:

Lind Common Stock Warrant:

On December 23, 2025, in connection with the 2025 Convertible Note, the Company also issued the 2025 Lind Warrant. The 2025 Lind Warrant entitles Lind to purchase up to 411,245 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.837 per share, subject to customary adjustments. These warrants become exercisable six months from the date of issuance and remains outstanding for a period of 60 months thereafter, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. They may be exercised for cash or, in certain limited circumstances, on a net share (cashless) basis. Net share settlement is permitted only when a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares is not available or in connection with certain fundamental transactions, in which case Lind receives a reduced number of shares based on the intrinsic value of the warrants.

The warrants include provisions that apply upon the occurrence of fundamental transactions, such as mergers, consolidations, sale of substantially all assets, tender offers, or other change-in-control events. In such circumstances, Lind is entitled to receive the same type and amount of consideration that would have been received had the warrants been exercised immediately prior to the transaction. In addition, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise are subject to adjustment to preserve the economic value of the warrants. Lind may also have the right to require the Company (or the successor entity) to repurchase the warrants for cash equal to its Black-Scholes value in connection with certain fundamental transactions.

The warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions, including adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications, and issuances of common stock at a price below the then-current exercise price (subject to specified exceptions). Lind is also entitled to participate in certain distributions to common stockholders on an as-if-converted basis. The Company is required to reserve a sufficient number of authorized shares to satisfy its obligations upon exercise of the warrants.

The warrants are subject to beneficial ownership limitations that restrict Lind from exercising the warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in Lind exceeding a specified ownership threshold. The warrants are transferable, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, and includes certain registration rights for the resale of the underlying shares as set forth in the related purchase agreement. The warrants do not confer any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights unless and until it is exercised into shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company reviewed the warrants in connection with the securities purchase agreements under ASC 815 and concluded that the warrants are not in scope of ASC 480 and are not subject to the derivative guidance under ASC 815. Accordingly, the warrants were equity classified. The fair value of the warrants at the issuance date of $667,172 was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes the use of Level 3 inputs. The resulting fair value of the warrants was recorded in APIC, net of issuance costs, and is not subject to subsequent remeasurement. The Company estimates its stock price volatility using the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. The term is equal to the contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the time period equal to the term of the warrants. The expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the warrants at the issuance date include the following:

Share-Based Compensation Arrangement by Share-Based Payment Award, Award Vesting Rights

As part of the closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued 100,000 shares to Sponsor. These shares are subject to vesting (or forfeiture) based on achieving certain trading price thresholds following the closing (“Sponsor Earnout Shares”). Fifty percent of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest when the VWAP of the Common Stock price equals or exceeds $120.00 per share for a period of 20 trading days in a 30 trading day period, and the remaining fifty percent of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest when the VWAP of the Common Stock price equals or exceeds $140.00 per share for a period of 20 trading days in a 30 trading day period. There are no service conditions or any requirement for the participants to provide goods or services in order to vest in the Sponsor Earnout Shares. Accordingly, we determined that the Sponsor Earnout Shares are not within the scope of ASC 718. The accounting for the Sponsor Earnout Shares was evaluated under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, and ASC Subtopic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, to determine if the Sponsor Earnout Shares should be classified as a liability or within equity. As part of the analysis, it was determined that the Sponsor Earnout Shares subject to vesting are freestanding from other shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by the Sponsor and do not meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be considered indexed to the Combined Company Common Stock, due to the settlement provisions including a change in control component which could impact the number of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are ultimately settled for, which is not an input to a fixed-for-fixed option pricing model. As a result, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be classified as a liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout shares will be reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

[1]	For Level 3 earnout liability, the Company assesses the fair value of expected earnout liability at each reporting period using the Monte Carlo Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected earnout consideration. This fair value measurement is considered a Level 3 measurement because the Company estimates projections during the earnout period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. The Monte Carlo simulation method repeats a process thousands of times in an attempt to predict all the possible future outcomes. At the end of the simulation, several random trials produce a distribution of outcomes that are then analyzed to determine the average present value of earnout. Change in the fair value of earnout liability is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting For Warrant Liability

NOTE 9 – ACCOUNTING FOR WARRANT LIABILITY

The Company established the initial fair value of the Private and Public Warrants on July 8, 2024, the date of consummation of the Business Combination, and revalued the warrants on December 31, 2025. Each 10 Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $115.00 per share. For additional terms refer to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024. As at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were 10,430,800 warrants outstanding, including 4,864,133 Public Warrants and 5,566,667 Private Warrants outstanding.

Each 10 Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $115.00 per share. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $180.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders, and that certain other conditions are met. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may also redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $100.00 per share on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption, and that certain other conditions are met. If the closing price of the common stock is less than $180.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders, the Private Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants.

The Company, in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within sixty (60) Business Days following the closing of its initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the sixtieth (60th) Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the sixty-first (61st) Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption) for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the lesser of:

(A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value less the warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value and

(B) 3.61 per warrant (“a settlement cap” for accounting purposes).

The Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. However, the Private Warrants are not redeemable by the Company as long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Stardust Power Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s warrants are not indexed to the Company’s Common Stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. Further, there is a settlement cap for Public Warrants, and Private Warrants upon transfer from Sponsor or permitted transferees to other holders, if the holder elects to exercise warrants on a cashless basis if the Company fails to maintain an effective registration statement covering the Common Stock issuable upon warrant exercises throughout the term of the warrants. Maintenance of an effective registration statement is not an input to the fair value option model for a fixed-for-fixed option or forward. As such, the Company’s warrants are accounted for as derivative warrant liabilities which are required to be valued at fair value at each reporting period.

The warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting. The Company’s policy is to record transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers during the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stardust Power Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Stardust Power LLC and Strike Merger Sub II, LLC. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Those estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, useful life of assets, realization of deferred tax assets, and fair valuation of stock-based compensation, common shares purchase agreement, warrants, simple agreement for future equity notes (each a “SAFE note”), convertible notes and sponsor earnout shares. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Reverse Stock Split

Reverse Stock Split

On September 8, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding were automatically converted into one new share of Common Stock. Proportionate adjustments were also made to (i) the exercise prices, and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, (ii) the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans and certain existing agreements, and (iii) the number of shares purchasable upon exercise, and/or the exercise prices, of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not decrease the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and preferred stock or otherwise affect the par value of the Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded down to the nearest whole share. Stockholders who were otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split were paid cash in lieu thereof. All shares of the Company’s Common Stock, per-share data and related information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted as though the Reverse Stock Split had been effected prior to all periods presented.

Going Concern

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $3,480,151 of unrestricted cash. The Company is a development stage entity having no revenues and has incurred a net loss of $15,723,636 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $68,342,584 and stockholders’ deficit of $5,813,683 as of December 31, 2025. The Company expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its operating and investment plans. These costs exceed the Company’s existing cash balance and net working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Prior B. Riley Purchase Agreement”) and a related Registration Rights Agreement (the “Prior B. Riley Registration Rights Agreement”, and together with the Prior B. Riley Purchase Agreement, the “Prior B. Riley Agreements”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley Principal Capital II”) to sell up to $50,000,000 of Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the Prior B. Riley Purchase Agreement, from time to time during the term of the Prior B. Riley Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 638,048 shares of Common Stock aggregating to net proceeds of $2,069,685. (See Note 6). On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Prior B. Riley Purchase Agreement, as amended and the related Prior B. Riley Registration Rights Agreement. As part of the termination, the Company agreed to satisfy the make-whole payment as per the terms of the Prior B. Riley Agreements of $471,942, in three equal portions: (i) through the issuance of restricted common stock priced at $4.40 per share and subject to resale registration, (ii) in cash upon the Company’s next equity or convertible financing, and (iii) in connection with a future equity line, at-the-market program, or similar financing, or otherwise in cash if unpaid by September 30, 2026. On December 15, 2025, the Company issued 35,753 shares of common stock (“Settlement Shares”) to B. Riley Principal Capital II and subsequent to the year end paid $157,314 cash to satisfy its obligation as per the terms of the Agreement (See Note 6).

Subsequent to year end, on February 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “B. Riley Purchase Agreement”) and a related Registration Rights Agreement (the “B. Riley Registration Rights Agreement”, and together with the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, the “B. Riley Agreements”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, the selling stockholder. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to sell up to $10,000,000 of Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, from time to time during the term of the B. Riley Purchase Agreement. Sales of Common Stock pursuant to the B. Riley Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company. The Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the B. Riley Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this filing, the Company has issued 29,067 shares of Common Stock aggregating to net proceeds of $94,193.

On January 27, 2025, the Company consummated a public offering of 479,200 shares of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 479,200 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share and warrant with an exercise price of $13.00 generating aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5,750,400 before offering expenses (See Note 6).

On March 16, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Inducement Letter”) with a warrant holder (the “Exercising Holder”) providing for the immediate cash exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase 479,200 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $6.20 per share, generating aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,971,040 before related expenses. In connection with such exercise, the Company agreed to issue new common stock purchase warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) to purchase up to 958,400 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, subject to shareholder approval and Nasdaq rules (See Note 6). On October 30, 2025, the Exercising Holder and the Company entered into a ‘Securities Exchange Agreement’ (the “Exchange Agreement”) and agreed to exchange the 958,400 outstanding Inducement Warrants for 730,689 shares of Common Stock, with no other payment or any other additional consideration from the investor (See Note 6).

On June 18, 2025, the Company consummated a public offering of 2,150,000 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $2.00 per share, generating aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4,300,000 before offering expenses. On June 25, 2025, the Company consummated the partial exercise of over allotment of the public offering, of 110,000 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $2.00 per share, generating additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $220,000 before offering expenses (See Note 6).

On December 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Lind Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Lind Global Asset Management XIII LLC (“Lind”) providing for up to $15,000,000 in senior secured convertible debt financing. Simultaneously, the Company initially drew down gross proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 in exchange for issuance to Lind of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $4,800,000 (the “2025 Convertible Note”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant, for the purchase of approximately 411,245 shares. (the “Lind Warrant Shares”). After deducting a commitment fee of $100,000 and other transaction-related costs, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $3,792,500 (See Note 12).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of the date on which these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, we believe that the cash on hand, and additional investments available through issuance of new Common Stock, will be inadequate to satisfy the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional capital from issuance of equity or receive additional borrowings to fund the Company’s operating and investing activities over the next year. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations

Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations

The Company is a newly incorporated company and has yet to construct its Facility and commence production. As a result, the Company has a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the business and future prospects, which subjects it to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the ability to plan for and predict future growth. Since the Company’s founding, and the acquisition of the land for the establishment of the Facility, the Company has made significant progress towards site due diligence, engineering and techno-economic analysis for assessing suitability of the land and location. The refinery designs, brine extraction and transportation process of the Facility, process configurations, and control system of the Facility are representative of an industrial-scale battery-grade lithium production facility.

The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital to support its development and commercialization activities. Significant risks and uncertainties to the Company’s operations include failing to secure additional funding and the threat of other companies developing and bringing to market similar technology at an earlier time than the Company.

The Company’s cash balance is held at one financial institution. As such, as at December 31, 2025, cash held with the financial institution exceeded federally insured limits.

Deferred Transaction Costs

Deferred Transaction Costs

In accordance with ‘Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins – Topic 5: Miscellaneous Accounting A. Expenses of Offering’ (“SAB Topic 5”), public offering related costs, including legal fees and advisory and consulting fees, are deferred until the consummation/completion of the proposed public offering. The Company has deferred $1,005,109 of related costs incurred towards the proposed public offering which was presented within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company deferred $6,496,114 of related costs incurred towards the public offering. After the consummation of the Business Combination, costs allocated to equity-classified instruments amounting to $7,501,223 were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The Company deferred $116,121 of related costs incurred towards the proposed public offering which are presented within current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2024. The Company consummated the public offering on January 27, 2025. After the consummation of the public offering, costs allocated to equity-classified instruments amounting to $86,121 were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The remaining deferred costs of $30,000 attributable to a separate proposed offering was expensed as the transaction did not materialize during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company deferred $25,000 of related costs incurred towards the B. Riley Purchase Agreement entered by the Company subsequent to year end with B. Riley Principal Capital II which are presented within current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2025.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs consist of expenditures associated with obtaining debt financing, principally legal and commitment fees. Such costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related credit arrangements using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of long-term debt and are included in Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The payment of debt issuance costs is recorded under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Capital Project Costs and Property and Equipment, net

Capital Project Costs and Property and Equipment, net

The Company had an exclusive option purchase agreement with the City of Muskogee, Oklahoma for 66 acres of undeveloped tract (excluding wetlands and creeks). On January 10, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to exercise the option and purchase the land for an amount of $1,662,030. The Company capitalized an additional $78,535 as land for costs incurred for obtaining permits and title. On December 16, 2024, title to the land was transferred to the Company’s name. The Company capitalized $3,320,403 towards capital project costs related to front-end loading and environmental studies done for setting up the refinery during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company capitalized an additional amount of $2,034,090 towards capital project costs. The construction of the Facility is still in progress and hence no depreciation is charged on capital project costs.

Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The Company depreciates computer and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the asset, which are generally three3 to five years. Land is a non-depreciable asset and is stated at cost.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is estimated at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value of Measurement

Fair Value of Measurement

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, defines fair value as the amount at which an instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. There are three fair value levels in the fair value hierarchy based upon the level of inputs that are significant to fair value measurement:

	●	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.
	●	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	●	Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgements and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash, other current assets, accounts payable and short-term loans approximate fair value because of the short maturity and liquidity of those instruments.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company nets the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities from temporary differences arising from a particular tax-paying component of the Company within the same tax jurisdiction and presents the net asset or liability as long term. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Although the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for uncertain tax positions, the Company can provide no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be materially different. The Company makes adjustment to these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Company elects to record interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of provision for income taxes.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are accounted in accordance with ASC 321, Investment in Equity Securities. These investments are recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SAFE notes

SAFE notes

SAFE notes represent instruments that provide a form of financing to the Company and possess characteristics of both a debt and equity instrument. The Company accounts for the SAFE note in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For the SAFE notes outstanding as of December 31, 2023, the Company first assessed whether the instrument meets the definition of a liability under ASC 480. The SAFE note includes terms that would affect the conversion of the note into shares based on the next round of financing. Since the instrument neither represents, nor is it indexed to an obligation to repurchase its own shares, the instrument does not represent any conditional obligation to settle the fixed monetary amount of the debt in a variable number of shares, the instrument is not a liability under ASC 480. The Company then assessed whether the instrument represents either an equity, derivative or a liability instrument per the guidance under ASC 815-40 and noted that due to the contingent settlement essentially representing a repayment of a fixed monetary amount, it would neither represent an instrument indexed to its own equity nor would it meet the definition of a derivative. Therefore, the note would be accounted for as a liability which requires initial and subsequent measurements at fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until a triggering event, equity financing, change in control or dissolution occurs, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value estimate includes significant inputs not observable in market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation uses probabilities considering pay-offs under various scenarios as follows: (i) an equity financing where the SAFE notes will convert into preferred stock; (ii) a SPAC transaction or an initial public offering where the SAFE notes will convert into common stock (iii) a change in control where the SAFE notes holders will have an option to receive a portion of the cash and other assets equal to the purchase amount and (iv) dissolution event where the SAFE notes holders will be entitled to the purchase amount subject to liquidation priority. Issuance cost incurred during the period March 16, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023, were expensed as incurred and presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrant Liabilities

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period-end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. Issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations. Cost associated with issuing the warrants accounted for as liabilities are charged to consolidated statements of operations when warrants are issued.

General and Administrative Expenses

Short-term loans

The Company accounts for short-term loans, as a single liability measured at amortized cost. The carrying value of the liability equals the proceeds received from the issuance of the loan agreements, accrued premium less debt issuance costs. See “Note 7 – Short-term loans” for additional information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Leases

Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company performs an assessment of whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The assessment is based on whether: (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (3) the Company the right to direct the use of the asset.

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, or (5) the leased asset is so specialized that the asset will have little to no value at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of the above criteria.

Operating and finance leases are recorded as right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit interest rate if readily determinable. When the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on its collateralized borrowing capabilities over a similar term of the lease payments. When using the incremental borrowing rate, the Company utilizes the consolidated group incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected not to record right of use assets and associated lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for leases that have a term, including any reasonably assured renewal terms, of 12 months or less at the lease commencement date. The lease payments are recognized for these short-term leases in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The Company has entered into a lease agreement with Tower Lake LLC, for office space. The Company has not recognized any ROU asset and lease liability pursuant to this lease as it is a short-term lease. The Company recorded rent expense of $31,242 and $31,242 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively in the consolidated statements of operations.

Subsequent to year end, in February 2026 the Company entered into a two-year sublease agreement with Chesmar Homes, LLC, for office space located in Houston, Texas. The monthly base rent under the agreement is $8,761 and the Company paid a security deposit of $17,523.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily include compensation for employees, consultants, and advisors, legal and professional service fees, utilities, travel and other general overhead costs to support the Company’s operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses, in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Other Expenses – Advertising Cost”.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options, restricted share awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), to employees, consultants and other advisors, and directors based on their estimated fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is measured based on the grant-date fair value which is calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value option awards upon each grant of stock options. At the election of the grantees, the stock options granted by the Company are early exercisable at any time from the date of grant but are subject to a repurchase right, under which the Company may buy back any unvested shares in the event of an employee’s termination prior to full vesting at lower of original exercise price or fair market value as on the date the Company delivers the Repurchase Notice. The consideration received for an early exercise of an unvested option is considered as deposit of the exercise price and the related amount is recorded as a liability. The liabilities are reclassified into common stock and additional paid-in capital as the awards vest. The shares are included in common stock on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as at December 31, 2025, and 2024, and are not included in the calculation of basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. However, the early exercised shares are included in calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the period ended December 31, 2024, to the extent they are not anti-dilutive.

Stardust Power Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fair value of RSUs awarded is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported on Nasdaq on the date of grant. The fair value and derived service period of PSUs with market-based conditions is estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value PSU awards upon each grant of PSUs.

Stock-based compensation expense associated with service and market-based conditions for RSUs will be recognized over the longer of the expected achievement period for the service condition and market condition. Stock-based compensation expense associated with PSUs is recognized over the longer of the expected achievement period for the performance condition and the service condition The Company generally recognizes stock-based compensation expense for RSUs with only service condition on a straight-line basis over the vesting term and RSUs /PSUs with service and market-based conditions, respectively, on graded vesting method over the vesting term. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

The Company adopted ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”, at its inception. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as at the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Potential common shares from unvested restricted stock options, earnouts and common stock warrants are computed using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are included in basic EPS only when there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), under its ASC or other standard setting bodies, and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual consolidated financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.

Nature of Business

Stardust Power Inc. (the “Company” or “Stardust Power”) formerly known as Global Partner Acquisition Corp II, a Delaware corporation, is an American developer of battery grade lithium products, designed to foster energy independence in the United States. While the Company has not earned any revenue yet, the Company is in the process of developing a strategically central, lithium refinery capable of producing up to 50,000 metric tpa of battery grade lithium.

Business Combination

On November 21, 2023, Stardust Power Operating Inc. entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Global Partner Acquisition Corp II (“GPAC II”), a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated on November 3, 2020, Strike Merger Sub I, Inc. (“First Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of GPAC II, and Strike Merger Sub II LLC (“Second Merger Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of GPAC II. On July 8, 2024, former Stardust Power Inc. was renamed Stardust Power Operating Inc.

On July 8, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Legacy Stardust Power completed the business combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”). GPAC II deregistered as a Cayman Islands exempted company and redomesticated in the State of Delaware as a Delaware corporation. As per the Business Combination Agreement, First Merger Sub merged into Legacy Stardust Power, with Legacy Stardust Power being the surviving corporation (the effective time of such merger being the “First Effective Time”). Legacy Stardust Power then merged into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub being the surviving entity. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, GPAC II was renamed Stardust Power Inc.

The common stock (the “Common Stock”) and warrants of the Company are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SDST” and “SDSTW”, respectively.

As per the Business Combination Agreement:

●	Each share of common stock of Legacy Stardust Power (“Legacy Stardust Power Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time converted into the right to receive the number of shares of combined company (“Newco”) common stock (“Newco Stock”) equal to the merger consideration divided by the number of shares of the Company fully diluted stock (“per share consideration”).
●	Each outstanding option to purchase Legacy Stardust Power Common Stock (each a “Legacy Stardust Power Option”), whether vested or unvested, automatically converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Newco Stock equal to the number of shares of Newco Stock subject to such Legacy Stardust Power Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by the per share consideration.
●	Each share of Legacy Stardust Power Restricted Stock (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time converted into a number of shares of Newco Stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy Stardust Power Common Stock subject to such Stardust Power Restricted Stock multiplied by the per share consideration (the “Exchanged Company Restricted Common Stock”).
●	All outstanding redeemable public warrants and private warrants of GPAC II representing the right to purchase one Class A ordinary share were adjusted to represent the right to purchase one share of the Newco Stock.
●	All outstanding GPAC Class A (after redemptions) and Class B common shares were cancelled and converted into shares of the Newco Stock.

[custom:AgreementDescription]

Under the applicable NASDAQ rules, the Company may not issue to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Prior B. Riley Agreements more than 9,569,700 shares of Common Stock, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the common shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Prior B. Riley Agreements unless certain exceptions are met (the “Exchange Cap”). The purchase price of the shares of common stock were determined by reference to the VWAP of the common stock during the applicable purchase date, less a fixed 3% discount to such VWAP. Additionally, B. Riley Principal Capital II cannot acquire shares that would result in its beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of Stardust Power’s outstanding shares. The Exchange Cap does not apply if the average share price exceeds $77.020 per share but will remain in place if this threshold is not met and stockholder approval is not obtained. The Company evaluated this common stock purchase agreement to determine whether they should be accounted for considering the guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded that it is an equity-linked contract that does not qualify for equity classification, and therefore requires fair value accounting as a derivative. The Company has analyzed the terms of the freestanding purchased put right and has concluded that it had insignificant value as of December 31, 2024.

In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of $2,700,000 in Common Stock as an Equity Kicker, as defined in the Investor Term Sheet with the price of each share being determined based on terms per the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of a private placement offering of Company securities (in which case such issuance shall be on no less favorable terms than the terms of such private placement) and (ii) the Investor Maturity/ Repayment Date, provided that the minimum number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Investors shall be no less than an aggregate of 36,000 shares. The Company recorded the short-term loan as a liability and evaluated embedded features in accordance with the accounting guidance and determined that bifurcation is not required for any embedded feature. By analyzing the economic characteristics of the Equity Kicker terms, the unconditional obligation to transfer variable number of shares where the monetary value of the obligation is a fixed monetary amount known at inception is akin to a traditional debt arrangement with a principal of $1,800,000, which were settled in cash along with a premium of $2,700,000 in the form of variable number of shares. The Equity Kicker $2,700,000 was triggered by the private placement that occurred on December 31, 2024. Upon such occurrence, the Company has recorded the accretion impact of this premium of $2,700,000 as finance charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has reported the obligation (which were settled through issuance of variable number of shares) as short-term loan. In addition, the Lenders received warrants representing the right, exercisable within five years of the closing date, of up to 50% of Common Stock issued as Equity Kicker, with each 10 warrants exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $115.00 in accordance with such private placement terms.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain conditions may exist as at the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. The Company monitors the arrangements that are subject to guarantees in order to identify if the obligor who is responsible for making the payments fails to do so. If the Company determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, then any such estimable loss would be recognized under those guarantees. The methodology used to estimate potential loss related to guarantees considers the guarantee amount and a variety of factors, which include, depending on the counterparty, the latest financial position of the counterparty, actual defaults, historical defaults, and other economic conditions. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Stardust Power Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On October 10, 2023, Legacy Stardust Power entered into a non-binding (except for the confidentiality provision) letter of intent with QX Resources Limited, an Australian limited liability company (“QXR”), to negotiate an agreement to work together collaboratively and in good faith to assess the lithium brines contained in QXR’s Liberty Lithium Brine Project (the “Project”). QXR is earning into 75% of the Project situated in Inyo County, California, by way of an earn-in agreement with IG Lithium LLC (“IGL”) and QXR intends to use either evaporation or direct extraction technology to produce a concentrated lithium product or other lithium products.

On August 4, 2024, the Company entered into an engineering agreement (the “Primero Agreement”) with Primero USA, Inc. (“Primero”) pursuant to which Primero agreed to provide certain engineering, design and consultancy professional services, including to assist in procurement of major equipment, engage relevant third parties for construction and provide a FEL 3 report of the Company’s Facility at Southside Industrial Park, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The total amount due pursuant to the Primero Agreement, assuming full performance, was approximately $4,724,690 in the aggregate, subject to customary potential adjustments. As at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total performance pending to be performed and billed by Primero is nil and $1,855,911, respectively.

On February 7, 2025 (the “License Agreement Effective Date”), the Company executed an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with KMX Technologies, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“KMX”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, KMX agreed to irrevocably license to the Company the use of KMX’s vacuum membrane distillation technology (“VMD Technology”) and associated processes and systems (including units incorporating the VMD Technology (“KMX VMD Units”)) for use in the Company’s refining and upstream operations. Among other obligations set forth in the License Agreement, the Company shall be required to exclusively purchase all KMX VMD Units from the Licensor during the term of the License Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

On October 20, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding letter agreement with Prairie Lithium Limited (“Prairie”), an Australia-based company, for the supply of 6,000 metric tons per annum of lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”) in the form of lithium chloride. The lithium chloride is sourced from the Prairie Lithium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada and will be used as feedstock at Stardust Power’s lithium processing facility in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The initial contract term would span 6 years starting from the date on which first commercial shipment is received by the Company, with the option for the Company to renew for two additional six year terms.

On October 31, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding letter agreement with Mandrake Resources Limited (“Mandrake”), an Australia-based company, for the supply of 7,500 metric tons per annum of LCE in the form of lithium chloride. The initial contract term would span 12 years starting from the date on which first commercial shipment is received by the Company, with the option for the Company to renew for an additional six-year term.

Legal proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in certain legal and regulatory proceedings, as well as demands, investigations and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is often uncertain, and unfavorable outcomes could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In our opinion, resolution of any pending claims (either individually or in the aggregate) is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, nor is it possible to provide an estimated amount of any such loss. However, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect our future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, or all in a particular period.

On July 7, 2025, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC v. Stardust Power, Inc., Case No: 654037/2025. The complaint names the Company as a defendant, and alleges among other things, that the Company breached an engagement agreement with the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, payment of all purported unpaid sums due under such engagement agreement. On September 19, 2025, the Company filed its answer in response to the complaint, in which it denied all liability and asserted several affirmative defenses. The action is proceeding to the discovery stage and for further proceedings. The Company plans to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

SIMPLE AGREEMENT FOR FUTURE EQUITY (SAFE NOTES)

NOTE 11 – SIMPLE AGREEMENT FOR FUTURE EQUITY (SAFE NOTES)

On June 6, 2023, Legacy Stardust Power received $2,000,000 in cash from a single investor and funded a SAFE note on August 15, 2023. The funds were received from an unrelated third party, through its entity which is currently being managed under the purview of an investment management agreement between them and VIKASA Capital Advisors, LLC (a related party) in consideration for which VIKASA Capital Advisors, LLC is paid-investment management fees.

On November 20, 2023, Legacy Stardust Power received an additional $2,000,000 in cash from a single investor, which, along with the $1,000,000 deposit received in September 2023, funded a new $3,000,000 SAFE note. On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a third SAFE note and received an additional $200,000 in cash from a single investor.

The SAFE notes were classified as a liability based on evaluating characteristics of the instrument and is presented at fair value as a non-current liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The SAFE notes provide the Company an option to call for additional preferred stock up to $25,000,000 based on the contingent event of SAFE note conversion and notice issued by the Board, and achievement of certain milestones, for up to 42 months following such conversion. This feature was determined to be an embedded feature and is valued as part of the liability value associated with the instrument as a whole. The terms for SAFE notes were amended on November 18, 2023 for both the original and new issuance to introduce a discount rate of 20% to the lowest price per share of preferred stock sold or the listing price of the Company’s Common Stock upon consummation of a SPAC transaction or IPO. Additionally, the SAFE notes provide the investor certain rights upon an equity financing, change in control or dissolution.

On March 21, 2024, Legacy Stardust Power entered into a financing commitment and equity line of credit agreement with American Investor Group Direct LLC (“AIGD”). The agreement replaced the above contingent commitment feature of the SAFE notes, granting the Company an option to drawdown up to an additional $15,000,000 on terms similar to the SAFE notes prior to the First Effective Time. On April 24, 2024, the Company amended and restated the August 2023 SAFE note and the November 2023 SAFE. On May 1, 2024, the Company amended and restated the February 2024 SAFE note. These amendments clarify the conversion mechanism in connection with the Business Combination.

The estimated fair value of the SAFE notes considered the timing of issuance and whether there were changes in the various scenarios since issuance. Pursuant to the consummation of the Business Combination, the SAFE notes converted into 63,692 Common Stock shares of the Company and therefore no further fair valuation was required as at December 31, 2025, and at December 31, 2024. The SAFE notes had no interest rate or maturity date, description of dividend and participation rights. The liquidation preference of the SAFE notes was junior to other outstanding indebtedness and creditor claims, on par with payments for other SAFE notes and/or preferred equity, and senior to payments for other equity of the Company that is not SAFE notes and/or pari preferred equity.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

NOTE 17 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

As the Business Combination has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the consolidated financial statements of the merged entity reflect the continuation of Legacy Stardust Power consolidated financial statements. Legacy Stardust Power equity has been retroactively adjusted to the earliest period presented to reflect the legal capital of the legal acquirer, GPAC II. As a result, net loss per share was also retrospectively adjusted for periods ended prior to the Business Combination. See Note 3 for details of this recapitalization.

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net loss per share:

	Year ended December 31, 2025			Year ended December 31, 2024
