Stardust Power Inc. reported a Nasdaq staff delist determination after failing to regain compliance with the minimum market value of listed securities requirement of $50,000,000 under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). The deficiency was triggered after the company’s market value stayed below the threshold for 30 consecutive business days and was not cured by the initial compliance deadline of September 30, 2025.

On October 1, 2025, the company received the delist determination. Stardust Power plans to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which will automatically stay the delisting of its common stock and warrants pending the Panel’s decision. The company intends to present a compliance plan that may include transferring to the Nasdaq Capital Market tier. Separately, Stardust previously regained compliance with the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares rule of $15 million and the minimum $1.00 bid price rule by September 15, 2025.

Insights

Nasdaq delisting determination issued; hearing will stay delisting.

Stardust Power did not cure the Nasdaq Global Market MVLS deficiency, which requires a market value of listed securities of at least $50,000,000 for continued listing. After the 180-day window ending September 30, 2025, the company received a staff delist determination on October 1, 2025.

The company will request a hearing before a Nasdaq Panel, which automatically stays delisting until a decision and any extension. The plan may include a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, where quantitative standards differ from the Global Market.

Key watchpoints are the scheduling of the hearing and the Panel’s decision, as disclosed. The company had earlier regained compliance with the $15,000,000 Market Value of Publicly Held Shares and the $1.00 bid price by September 15, 2025, but MVLS remains unresolved.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 8, 2025, Stardust Power Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received Notice from Nasdaq indicating that, because the market value of the Company’s Common Stock had been below $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) of Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “MVLS Rule”).

 

The Company was provided with an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule during the allotted time period.

 

Accordingly, on October 1, 2025, the Company received a staff delist determination letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, as a result of its failure to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule.

 

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). This hearing request will automatically stay Nasdaq’s delisting of the Company’s common stock and warrants pending the Panel’s decision and any extension provided by the Panel. The Company intends to present its plan of compliance, which may include a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market listing tier.

 

As previously reported by Stardust on March 24, 2025, the Company received deficiency letters from the Staff on March 18, 2025, and March 19, 2025, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with (i) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) requiring a listed company to maintain a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares, as defined by Nasdaq, of $15 million and (ii) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requiring a listed company to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, respectively (such requirements, the “Listing Requirements”). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company successfully achieved compliance with these Listing Requirements within the stipulated given period of 180 calendar days (or by/until September 15, 2025).
