STARDUST POWER INC.

 

Up to 55,190,875 Shares of Common Stock

Up to 10,566,596 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Warrants

Up to 5,566,667 Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated August 9, 2024 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-281160). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in (i) our current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 12, 2024, (ii) our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2024, and (iii) our current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on December 23, 2024. Accordingly, we have attached such reports to this prospectus supplement.

 

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the offer and resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this Registration Statement or their permitted transferees (the “Selling Securityholders”) of the following:

 

(i) up to 55,190,875 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), consisting of:

 

(a) up to 127,777 shares of Common Stock issued to former GPAC II Public Shareholders (as defined in the Prospectus) at Closing (as defined in the Prospectus) pursuant to certain Non-Redemption Agreements (as defined in the Prospectus);
   
(b) up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (including 1,000,000 shares that are subject to forfeiture) issued to the Sponsor at Closing in exchange for an equivalent number of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of GPAC II that were originally purchased for approximately $0.003 per share;
   
(c) up to 1,077,541 shares of Common Stock issued to PIPE Investors (as defined in the Prospectus) at Closing pursuant to certain PIPE Subscription Agreements (as defined in the Prospectus) at a purchase price of $9.35 per share;
   
(d) up to 2,024,985 shares of Common Stock held by holders of vested RSU awards;
   
(e) up to 42,393,905 shares of Common Stock issued to certain third parties and affiliates of Stardust Power at Closing (which in each case were issued as consideration in the Business Combination (as defined in the Prospectus) based on a value of $10.00 per share); and
   
(f) up to 5,566,667 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants (as defined in the Prospectus); and

 

(ii) up to 5,566,667 Private Warrants, which were originally purchased at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or Warrants (as defined in the Prospectus) by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Prospectus or in any supplement to the Prospectus, except upon the exercise of Warrants.

 

The shares of Common Stock, not including Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, being offered for resale pursuant to the Prospectus or in any supplement to the Prospectus by the Selling Securityholders represent approximately 99.72% of shares of Common Stock (and assuming the exercise of all Warrants, 91.48% of Common Stock) outstanding as of July 31, 2024. Given the substantial number of shares of Common Stock being registered for potential resale by Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, the sale of shares of Common Stock or Warrants by the Selling Securityholders, or the perception in the market that the Selling Securityholders of a large number of holders of Common Stock or Warrants intend to sell such securities, could increase the volatility of the market price of our Common Stock or Warrants or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock or Warrants. Even if our trading price of Common Stock is significantly below $10.00 per share, the offering price for the units offered in the IPO (as defined in the Prospectus), certain of the Selling Securityholders, including the Sponsor, may still have an incentive to sell shares of Common Stock, because they purchased the shares at prices lower than the public investors or the current trading price of our Common Stock.

 

We will only receive proceeds from the exercise of Warrants if and when the holders of the Warrants choose to exercise them. The exercise of the Warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Common Stock and the spread between the exercise price of the Warrants and the price of our Common Stock at the time of exercise. If the market price of our Common Stock is less than the exercise price of a holder’s Warrants, it is unlikely that holders will choose to exercise. There can be no assurance that the Warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration. In addition, our Warrant holders have the option to exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis in certain circumstances. See “Description of Securities - Warrants” in the Prospectus. As such, it is possible that we may never generate any cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants.

 

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the securities. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the securities.

 

Our registration of the securities covered by the Prospectus or in any prospectus supplement does not mean that either we or the Selling Securityholders will issue, offer or sell, as applicable, any of the Common Stock. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the securities covered by the Prospectus or in any prospectus supplement in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus.

 

You should read the Prospectus, this prospectus supplement and any prospectus supplement or amendment carefully before you invest in our Common Stock or Warrants.

 

Our Common Stock and Warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “SDST” and “SDSTW,” respectively. On December 20, 2024, the last reported sales price of our Common Stock was $4.50 per share and the last reported sales price of our Warrants was $0.37 per Warrant.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Roshen Pujari (hereinafter, Roshan Pujari) owns a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. As a result, we qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements. The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement comply with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company. This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of the Prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Prospectus or this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is December 23, 2024.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On December 17, 2024, Stardust Power Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”). Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 8-K, the Company determined there was a miscalculation involving the number of shares to be pledged as set forth in Item 1.01 of the Original Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A hereby amends and restates in its entirety Item 1.01 of the Original Form 8-K. The Original Form 8-K otherwise remains unchanged.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 13, 2024, the Company agreed to issue promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) to several lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), providing for loans (the “Loans”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.8 million. The Loans will bear interest at a rate of 15% per year, and mature on March 13, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). The proceeds of the Loans are expected to be used by the Company for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

The Promissory Notes will contain customary representations and warranties and customary events of default. Pursuant to the Promissory Notes, an aggregate of approximately 3,400,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), owned by founders of the Company, will be pledged as collateral.

 

In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lenders an aggregate of $2.7 million in Common Stock on 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 Maturity Date, in each case, based on the lower of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of issuance and a trailing 30-day volume-weighted average price, provided that the minimum number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Lenders shall be no less than an aggregate of 360,000 shares.

 

The securities are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving a public offering.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 12, 2024, Chandra R. Patel resigned as a member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company. Mr. Patel’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Subsequently on December 12, 2024, Mr. Patel was removed as a member of the Board pursuant to a written notice to the Company from Global Partner Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to that certain Stockholder Agreement, dated July 8, 2024, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and Roshan Pujari (the “Stockholder Agreement”), which removal was effective immediately. Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, the Sponsor has the right to designate one director to the Board (the “Designated Director”). Previously the Sponsor designated Mr. Patel through this right, who had served on the Board since July 8, 2024. On December 12, 2024, the Sponsor designated Martyn Buttenshaw as its Designated Director to fill the vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Patel’s removal.

 

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and in accordance with the Sponsor’s right to have a Designated Director under the Stockholder Agreement, on December 16, 2024, the Board appointed Martyn Buttenshaw to fill the vacancy on the Board, effective as of December 16, 2024. Mr. Buttenshaw will serve as a Class I director until the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal from office.

 

 

 

 

The Board determined that Mr. Buttenshaw meets the independence requirements under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Global Market and the Company’s independence standards and that there are no transactions between the Company and Mr. Buttenshaw that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. Buttenshaw and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Buttenshaw was selected to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Buttenshaw will not receive any compensation as a member of the Board.

 

In connection with the appointment of Mr. Buttenshaw as a member of the Board, the Company entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Buttenshaw pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify Mr. Buttenshaw to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of his service to the Company and to advance his expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him to which he could be indemnified. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Indemnification Agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2024 and incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.

 

Martyn Buttenshaw, age 47, has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Mackay Precious Metals Inc., a precious metals exploration company, since June 2023. Additionally, Mr. Buttenshaw has served primarily as a non-executive director for Ranchero Gold Corp. (formerly Melior Resources Inc.), an exploration and development stage company, since March 2014, and has served in an executive capacity with the company between August 2019 and October 2021 and since January 2023. From August 2021 to February 2024, Mr. Buttenshaw served as the Chairman of Atacama Copper Corp., a Chilean focused copper exploration company. From January 2020 to December 2020, Mr. Buttenshaw served as Operating Partner at Antarctica Capital where he was responsible for managing investments in the metals and minerals sector, with a particular focus upon the raw materials supply chain for the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors. Prior to his time at Antarctica, Mr. Buttenshaw was a Managing Director at Pala Investments, a metals and minerals focused private equity firm, beginning in January 2010. From August 2007 to December 2009, Mr. Buttenshaw held senior roles at Anglo American in business development and M&A and from August 2000 to July 2005, served as a senior mining engineer with Rio Tinto. Mr. Buttenshaw is a Chartered Engineer, and graduated with a Master’s of Engineering from Imperial College London in 1999 and a Master of Business Administration with distinction from the London Business School in 2007.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On December 16, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of 66 acres of undeveloped tract (excluding wetlands and creeks) in Southside Industrial Park, Muskogee, Oklahoma (the “Site”) from the City of Muskogee for approximately $1.7 million (the “Closing”), which amount includes the extension and option payments previously made by the Company. As previously disclosed, the Company had the exclusive right to purchase the Site pursuant to that certain Contract for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate dated January 10, 2024. In connection with the Closing, on December 16, 2024, the Development Agreement that the Company previously executed with the City of Muskogee, as previously disclosed on Form S-4/A filed on May 8, 2024, became effective. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company has agreed to commence development of the Site, among other things.

Because of the relationships among the Company, Endurance, and Mr. Pujari, in considering the Promissory Note, the Company’s Board of Directors established and delegated to a special committee comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) the power and authority to evaluate, negotiate and approve, or decline to approve, the Promissory Note and the related transactions. On December 6, 2024, the Special Committee approved the execution and delivery by the Company of the Promissory Note and the related transactions, including for purposes of the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy.

 

The securities are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving a public offering.
