(Nasdaq: MULN) (&#8220;Mullen&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), an emerging electric vehicle (&#8220;EV&#8221;) manufacturer, announces today the Company has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) regarding a special stockholders&#8217; meeting to be held on Dec. 15, 2023, (the &#8220;Special Meeting&#8221;) to authorize Mullen&#8217;s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company&#8217;s common stock at an exchange ratio between 1-for-2 to 1-for-100 (the &#8220;Reverse Stock Split&#8221;). Mullen expects that the primary focus of the Board in determining whether or not to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split will be the ability to obtain and maintain a continued price of at least $1.00 per share of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market without effecting the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will only be implemented if necessary to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule&#160;5550(a)(2), which sets forth a minimum bid price of $1.00. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Board will determine the final split ratio after stockholder approval and would retain the authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split at any time or to delay or postpone it. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Reverse Stock Split would not affect any stockholder&#8217;s&#160;percentage ownership interests or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that it results in a stockholder receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Completion of the proposed Reverse Stock Split is subject to market and other customary conditions, including obtaining stockholder approval. However, there are no assurances that the Reverse Stock Split will be completed, that it will result in an increased per share price or achieve its other intended effects. The Board reserves the right to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if it determines that implementing it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. </font>
