The information set forth in Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item.

On January 31, 2025, Mullen Automotive Inc. (the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders, which approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-100, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

The Board approved a one-for-sixty (1-for-60) reverse stock split ratio and, on February 14, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on February 18, 2025 at 12:01 am Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”).

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, at the Effective Time, every sixty (60) shares of the Company’s pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock combined and automatically became one (1) share of Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Stock Market opened for trading on February 18, 2025. The Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the existing symbol “MULN”, but with a new CUSIP number of 62526P604. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the authorized number of shares or the par value of the Common Stock nor modify any voting rights of the Common Stock.

Also, at the Effective Time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants, preferred stock, options and other convertible securities, as well as any commitments to issue securities, that provide for adjustments in the event of a reverse stock split will be appropriately adjusted pursuant to their applicable terms for the Reverse Stock Split. If applicable, the conversion price for each outstanding note and for each outstanding share of preferred stock and the exercise price for each outstanding warrant will be increased, pursuant to their terms, in inverse proportion to the 1-for-60 split ratio such that upon conversion or exercise, the aggregate conversion price for conversion of each note or preferred stock and the aggregate exercise price payable by the warrant holder to the Company for shares of Common Stock subject to such warrant will remain approximately the same as the aggregate conversion or exercise price, as applicable, prior to the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance are not subject to adjustment as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. All shares of Common Stock that are held by a stockholder will be aggregated subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split and each fractional share resulting from such aggregation held by a stockholder will be rounded up to the next whole share on a participant level.

Our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company’s Common Stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to such broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On February 13, 2025, the Company issued a press release regarding the Reverse Stock Split. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The information provided in Item 5.03 is hereby incorporated by reference.

The Company has a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-282516) and registration statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-276539, 333-274113, 333-267417, 333-266787 and 333-282274) on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). SEC regulations permit the Company to incorporate by reference future filings made with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the termination of the offerings covered by registration statements filed on Form S-1 or Form S-8. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of the prospectus included within each of those registration statements. Information in this Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is therefore intended to be automatically incorporated by reference into each of the active registration statements listed above, thereby amending them. Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act, the amount of undistributed shares of Common Stock deemed to be covered by the effective registration statements of the Company described above are proportionately reduced as of the Effective Time to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
