Stardust Power Inc. Announces Exercise of Over-Allotment Option from Recent Public Offering
GREENWICH, CONN.- June 26, 2025 - Stardust Power Inc. (NASDAQ: SDST) (the “Company”), an American developer of battery-grade lithium products, today announced that the underwriter of its previously announced public offering of common stock has exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $220,000. After giving effect to the exercise of the over-allotment option, the gross proceeds from the offering increased to approximately $4.52 million, before deducting underwriting fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on June 25, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The proceeds from the over-allotment will support the completion of Stardust Power’s Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS/FEL-3), a critical step toward a Final Investment Decision (FID) for the planned lithium processing facility in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Completing the DFS will deliver detailed engineering, refined capital estimates, and a clearly defined scope, moving the project significantly closer to construction financing. In a challenging market, strong investor interest reflects confidence in the Company’s business strategy. This financing is a strategic and timely decision that advances the business plan and brings the Company closer to delivering on its long-term vision.
