SDSTW Stardust Power Inc.'s warrants (SDSTW) are also affected by the company's failure to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement for its common stock. This situation raises concerns about the overall financial health and listing status of the company. SDST Stardust Power Inc. received a notice from Nasdaq indicating it no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. The company has a compliance period until March 10, 2027, but faces potential delisting if compliance is not achieved.

Notice

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

On

September 11, 2026, Stardust Power Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications

Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the

Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the last 30 consecutive business days,

from July 30, 2026 through September 10, 2026, the Company no longer satisfies the requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) that

listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

As

previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30,

2026, on April 24, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it no longer satisfied the minimum

$35,000,000 market value of listed securities requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), and the Company has until October

21, 2026, to regain compliance with that requirement.

The

Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock, and the Common Stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market

under the symbol “SDST.”

In

accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March

10, 2027, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If, at any time during this compliance period, the

closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide

the Company with written confirmation of compliance with respect to the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter will be

closed. The Notice also provides that, if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance, it must complete

the split no later than ten business days prior to March 10, 2027.

If

the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by March 10, 2027, the Company may be eligible for an additional

compliance period of 180 calendar days. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market

value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid

Price Requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period

by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If it appears to Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the

deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock is subject to delisting. In

that event, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The

Company intends to continue to actively monitor the bid price of its Common Stock and the minimum market value of listed securities

and will consider options available to the Company to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.

There

can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in

compliance with the other listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market.
