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 91.74% of shares of Common Stock (and assuming
the exercise of all Warrants, 93.15% of Common Stock) outstanding as of April 28, 2025. 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 $100.00 per share, the offering price for the units offered in the IPO
(as defined in the Prospectus), certain of the Selling Securityholders 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.</FONT></P>

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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;<I>Description of Securities - Warrants</I>&rdquo; in the Prospectus.
As such, it is possible that we may never generate any cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants.</FONT></P>

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

September 8, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company&#8217;s Common Stock (the &#8220;Reverse Stock

resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded down to the nearest whole share. Stockholders who were otherwise entitled to receive

of the date on which these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, we believe that the cash

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&#8217;s plan to raise additional capital from issuance of equity or receive additional borrowings
to fund the Company&#8217;s operating and investing activities over the next year. These unaudited condensed 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.</FONT></P>

warrants are computed using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are included in basic EPS only when there is no circumstance

conditions may exist as at the date the unaudited condensed 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&#8217;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&#8217;s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.</FONT></P>

rate of 6% with a maturity date of July 1, 2025. The IGL Note is secured by first priority in all rights, title, interest, claims and
demands of IGL related to the Project and other assets of IGL. The promissory note including interest amounting to $332,363 and $322,961

part of the closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued 100,000 shares to Global Partner Sponsor II, LLC (the &#8220;Sponsor&#8221;).
These shares are subject to vesting (or forfeiture) based on achieving certain trading price thresholds following the closing (&#8220;Sponsor
Earnout Shares&#8221;). 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, &#8220;Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity&#8221;, and
ASC Subtopic 815-40, &#8220;Derivatives and Hedging &#8212; Contracts in Entity&#8217;s Own Equity&#8221;, 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 were classified as a liability. Subsequent changes in
the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout shares will be reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.</FONT></P>

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 September 30, 2025 as the Company determined that change in fair value is deemed immaterial to the fair value of earnout

October 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement (collectively referred
to as the &#8220;Purchase Agreement&#8221;) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, 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 newly issued
shares of the Company&#8217;s 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 Purchase Agreement. Under the applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company may not issue to
B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC under the Purchase Agreement more than 956,970 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 Purchase Agreement unless certain exceptions are
met (the &#8220;Exchange Cap&#8221;). The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be 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, LLC cannot acquire shares that would result in its beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of Stardust Power&#8217;s outstanding shares.
The Exchange Cap does not apply if the average share price exceeds $77.02 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, &#8220;Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts on an Entity&#8217;s Own Equity&#8221;
(&#8220;ASC 815-40&#8221;) 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, and September 30, 2025.</FONT></P>

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%.</FONT></P>

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. The Company  used the net proceeds from the offering to support the completion of the Front End Loading

associated processes and systems (including units incorporating the VMD Technology (&#8220;KMX VMD Units&#8221;)) for the purpose of

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&#8217;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

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.

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 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

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&#8217;s
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&#8217;s common stock, as reported on Nasdaq on the date of grant.</FONT></P>

October 2023, Legacy Stardust Power subscribed to and purchased 13,949,579 ordinary shares (1.26% of the total equity) of QXR, an Australian
limited liability company whose ordinary shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (&#8220;ASX&#8221;), for $200,000. This
investment in the ordinary shares of QXR has been made for strategic purposes and specifically with an intention to gain access for conducting
feasibility studies for the production of lithium products from the lithium brine surface anomaly identified over the 102 square-kilometer
Liberty Lithium Brine Project in SaltFire Flat, California, for which QXR has a binding option to purchase agreement and operating agreement
to earn a 75% interest from IGL (&#8220;the Earn-in Venture&#8221;). The Company is not a direct party to the Earn-in Venture and accordingly
has no direct or indirect economic or controlling interest either in the Project or in any of the associated rights originating from
the Earn-in Venture held by QXR. The Company will conduct feasibility studies to assess the lithium brine at its own cost and if successful,
will have the option to execute a commercial off-take agreement with QXR for the supply of brine from the Project. No formal off-take

                                            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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.</FONT></P>

December 2024, the Company entered into a binding Term Sheet (&#8220;Term Sheet&#8221;) with Endurance Antarctica Partners II, LLC
(&#8220;Endurance&#8221;), a related party, providing for a loan (the &#8220;Loan&#8221;) in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,750,000,
bearing interest at a rate of 15%
per year, and maturing in March 2025 (the &#8220;Maturity Date&#8221;). The Term Sheet contained customary representations and
warranties and customary events of default. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, 550,000
shares of Company&#8217;s Common Stock, owned by Roshan Pujari, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, were pledged as collateral.
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to Endurance $3,500,000
in Common Stock as an Equity Kicker, 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 Maturity/ Repayment Date, provided that the minimum number of shares of
Common Stock shall be no less than 50,000 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 $1,750,000,
which will be settled in cash along with a premium of $3,500,000
in the form of variable number of shares. The Equity Kicker $3,500,000
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 $3,500,000
as finance charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has reported the
obligation (which will be settled through issuance of variable number of shares) as short-term loan. In addition, Endurance will
receive 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 the Private Placement terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repaid the principal
amount of $1,750,000
along with accrued interest of $70,000
and issued 97,765
shares of Common Stock and 488,826 warrants to Endurance.</FONT></P>

of the key driving factors are the demand for battery grade lithium products, fuelled largely by the demand and production of electric
vehicles and automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers seeking domestic supply options, leading to demand for minerals used in battery
cells, such as lithium, governmental incentives for American manufacturing and evolving geopolitical climate that is creating a national
security priority for the U.S. market.</FONT></P>

February 2023, Stardust Power LLC received an illustrative incentive analysis for up to $257 million in performance-based incentives
from the State of Oklahoma and potential federal incentives, which also contained potential for further eligible federal grants. The
state incentives were based on initial job creation, equipment procurement, training and recruitment incentives, property tax exemptions,
sales tax exemptions, and capital expenditure projections submitted to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce in the first quarter of 2023
and could be subject to changes as the Company would progress in setting up the Facility and commercial production of battery grade lithium
in the future. These incentives may change based on the actual financial metrics of the Company in the future, which may be lower or
higher.</FONT></P>

Our management team frequently evaluates current and future sources of supplies for reliability of supply and geographic locations
for logistics and cost efficiency. We would also have to maintain technology arrangements with existing strategic affiliations on
whose patented and proprietary processes we depend on, as well as forge new technology affiliations as exploration, extraction and
purification processes evolve, to obtain raw materials required to manufacture high-quality lithium suitable for consumption by the

unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not earned any revenue
and has been operating at a loss since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit and stockholders&#8217; deficit. We believe
that the cash on hand and additional investments available through issuance of new Common Stock will be inadequate to satisfy the Company&#8217;s
working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As a development stage company, Stardust Power needs to raise additional capital to realize its business objectives. Our long-term success
and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully raise additional capital or financing, or successfully
enter into strategic partnerships. Until commercial production is achieved from our planned operations, we will continue to incur operating
and investing net cash outflows associated with, among other things, maintaining and acquiring exploration properties and undertaking
ongoing exploration activities.</FONT></P>

The earnout shares have been classified as liability instruments in the financial statements, and the fair value adjustment is
recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for each reporting period, based on third party valuations
carried out at period end.</FONT></P>

prices of capital equipment, and preliminary costs. In the future, it will depend on our expansion of acquiring new assets/sites to have
access and potential ownership of raw material. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses,
services and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. If
additional financing is required from outside sources, over and above what we are intending to raise currently, we may not be able to
raise it on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations

taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, &#8220;Income Taxes&#8221; (&#8220;ASC 740&#8221;), which provides for deferred taxes
using an asset and liability approach. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than
not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions
of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, we recognize the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more
likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely
than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances.
We recognize any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.</FONT></P>

account for the earnout share liability, SAFE notes, and convertible notes in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, &#8220;Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity&#8221; and ASC 815-40, &#8220;Derivatives and Hedging,&#8221; whereby it is 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&#8217;s
unaudited condensed 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 and convertible note will convert into certain preferred stock; (ii)
a change in control where the SAFE note and convertible note holders will have an option to receive a portion of the cash and other assets
equal to the purchase amount; (iii) a dissolution event where the SAFE notes and convertible note holders will be entitled to the purchase
amount subject to liquidation priority and (iv) achievement of Combined Company Common Stock price targets, where the earnout share liability
will convert into certain number of shares of Common Stock. The value of the instrument is likely to vary significantly based on the
probability of each of the conversion scenarios that occurs, and management will reassess such probability at each reporting period.
These probabilities will ultimately be factored into the valuation of the instrument and will require third party valuation experts to
assist in the determination of this value. The changes in value of the instrument could impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements materially and therefore constitute a critical estimate.</FONT></P>

supplies of lithium and the emergence of new refiners both here in the United States and globally, could impact the global supply chain

bring capacity online further increasing supply. Other companies may seek to enter the market. Also, the demand for lithium may be impacted
by emerging technologies and other battery chemistries that may decrease the reliance on lithium and could result in reducing product
prices. In order to address fluctuations in product price, and in lines with industry norms, the Company is intending to enter into 10-year
long-term sales contracts with EV manufacturers, whereby we expect to have a cap and floor pricing strategy, and both, customer and the
Company, sharing the difference between actual price and cap or floor pricing. We may further limit chemistry risk by refining to lithium
carbonate prior to potentially refining to lithium hydroxide so we can meet market demands for either product. We stay informed on current
trends in battery chemistry to project market demand.</FONT></P>

July 7, 2025, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned <I>H.C. Wainwright
&amp; Co., LLC v. Stardust Power, Inc.</I>, Case No: 654037/2025. The complaint names the Company as defendant, alleging, 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 Company plans to
vigorously defend against the lawsuit and the action will proceed next to the discovery stage and for further
proceedings.</FONT></P>
