NOTE
This
Amendment No. 1 to the annual report of Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) on Form
10-K/A (this “Form 10-K/A”) amends the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which
was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2025 (the “Original Form 10-K”).
This Form 10-K/A is being filed for the sole purpose of providing information required by Part III of Form 10-K that was intentionally
omitted from Part III of the Original Form 10-K. The Part III information may be incorporated by reference from the Company’s definitive
proxy statement, or if such proxy statement is not filed with the SEC within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year, such information
may be included in an amendment to the Form 10-K. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information because a definitive proxy
statement containing such information may not be filed by the Company within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Original Form 10-K.
In
addition, this Form 10-K/A amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original 10-K to include new certifications by our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Since no new financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does
not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications
have been omitted. Similarly, since no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A, certifications pursuant to Section
906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.
The
reference on the cover page of the Original Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of our definitive proxy statement into Part III
of the Original Form 10-K is hereby deleted.
Except
as expressly noted above, this Form 10-K/A does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the Original Form 10-K and does
not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K, as information in such filings may
update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment.
As
used in this Form 10-K/A, unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Registrant,” “Company,”
“Greenwave,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc., a
Delaware corporation.

Our
Board judges the independence of its directors by the standards established by the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Accordingly,
the Board has determined that our two non-employee directors, Cheryl Lanthorn and Lisa Lucas-Burke each meet the independence standards
established by Nasdaq and the applicable independence rules and regulations of the SEC, including the rules relating to the independence
of the members of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. Our Board considers a director to be independent when the director
is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, does not have any relationship which would, or could reasonably appear
to, materially interfere with the independent judgment of such director, and the director otherwise meets the independence requirements
under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Our
Board believes its members collectively have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to effectively oversee the management
of our Company, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business judgment on a broad
range of issues, sufficient experience and background to resolve the issues facing our Company, a willingness to devote the necessary
time to their Board and committee duties, a commitment to representing the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and a dedication
to enhancing stockholder value.
Risk
Oversight. Our Board oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of our business
strategies. Our Board performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of the
operations and corporate functions of our Company, our Board addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate
functions. In addition, our Board reviews the risks associated with our Company’s business strategies periodically throughout the
year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies. Each of our Board committees also coordinates oversight
of the management of our risk that falls within the committee’s areas of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee
has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. The Board is also provided with updates by the Chief Executive
Officer and other executive officers of the Company on a regular basis.
Board

During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Board held six meetings and operated primarily by unanimous written consent. For the fiscal

and other awards under our stock plans, periodically reviews the operation of the Company’s employee benefit plans and analyzes
the Company’s bylaws, Compensation Committee Charter for its adequacy in meeting the Company’s compensation-related goals

grant the Compensation Committee the flexibility to hire compensation consultants to assist in the design, formulation, analysis and
implementation of compensation programs for the Company’s executive officers. While the Board does not provide a formal role for
executive officers in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive and director compensation, the Compensation Committee

Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management,

significant risks facing the Company and our general risk management strategy, and also ensures that the risks we undertake are consistent

Timing
of Equity Awards
The
Compensation Committee grants equity awards, including stock options, from time to time. This may also include grants in connection with
a new hire, promotion, and other circumstances where the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate to make such grants. Although we
have not adopted a formal policy regarding the timing of equity award grants, including stock options, the Compensation Committee does
not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the terms of equity awards and has not timed grants or the disclosure
of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During 2024, there were no stock
option awards granted to any named executive officer within four business days preceding, or one business day after, the filing of any
report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information.

Compensation
The
following table presents the total compensation for each person who served as a non-employee director of our Board during the fiscal

Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Our
Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection
with actions or proceedings brought against them by reason of their serving or having served as officers, directors or in other capacities.
We shall be required to indemnify a director or officer in connection with an action or proceeding commenced by such director or officer
only if the commencement of such action or proceeding by the director or officer was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.
Our
Equity Incentive Plans
Our
Stockholders approved our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”) in June 2014, our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015
Plan”) in December 2015, our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”) in October 2016, our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan
(“2017 Plan”) in December 2016, our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”) in June 2018, our 2021 Equity Incentive
Plan (“2021 Plan”) in September 2021, our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”) in November 2022, our 2023
Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) in October 2023, and our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan” and together
with the 2014 Plan, 2015 Plan, 2016 Plan, 2017 Plan, 2018 Plan, 2021 Plan, 2022 Plan, and 2023 Plan, the “Plans”) in May
2024, which was subsequently amended in July 2024. The Plans are identical, except for the number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance under each.
The
Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock bonus awards, restricted stock awards, performance
stock awards and other forms of stock compensation to our employees, including officers, consultants and directors. Our Plans also provide
that the grant of performance stock awards may be paid out in cash as determined by the Committee (as defined herein).
Summary
of the Plans
Authorized
Shares
No
shares of our Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2014 Plan, 2015 Plan, the 2016 Plan, the 2017 Plan, the 2018 Plan,
the 2021 Plan, 2022 Plan, or 2023 Plan. There are currently 5 shares of our Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the 2018
Plan, 1,112 shares of our Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan, 327 shares of our Common Stock available for
issuance pursuant to the 2022 Plan, 1,828 shares of our Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the 2023 Plan, and 800,000 shares
of our Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the 2024 Plan. Shares of Common Stock issued under our Plans may be authorized
but unissued or reacquired shares of our Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock subject to stock awards granted under our Plans that expire
or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares of Common Stock, will not reduce the
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under our Plans. Additionally, shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to stock
awards under our Plans that we repurchase or that are forfeited, as well as shares of Common Stock reacquired by us as consideration
for the exercise or purchase price of a stock award, will become available for future grant under our Plans.
Administration
Our
Board, or a duly authorized committee thereof (collectively, the “Committee”), has the authority to administer our Plans.
Our Board may also delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to designate employees other than Directors and officers to
receive specified stock, which, in respect to those awards, said officer or officers shall then have all authority that the Committee
would have.
8
Subject
to the terms of our Plans, the Committee has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the exercise price
or strike price of stock awards, if any, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a
share of our Common Stock, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, the form of consideration,
if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of the stock award and the terms and conditions of the award agreements for use under the
Plans. The Committee has the power to modify outstanding awards under the Plans, subject to the terms of the Plans and applicable law.
Subject to the terms of our Plans, the Committee has the authority to reprice any outstanding option or stock appreciation right, cancel
and re-grant any outstanding option or stock appreciation right in exchange for new stock awards, cash or other consideration, or take
any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, with the consent of any adversely affected
participant.
Stock
Options
Stock
options may be granted under the Plans. The exercise price of options granted under our Plans must at least be equal to the fair market
value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of an ISO may not exceed 10 years, except that with respect to any participant
who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed 5 years and the exercise
price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The Committee will determine the methods of payment of the
exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares of Common Stock or other property acceptable to the Committee, as well as
other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. No single participant may receive more than 25% of the total options awarded
in any single year. Subject to the provisions of our Plans, the Committee determines the other terms of options.
Performance
Shares
Performance
shares may be granted under our Plans. Performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance
goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The Committee will establish organizational or individual
performance goals or other vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the
number and/or the value of performance shares to be paid out to participants. After the grant of a performance share, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or other vesting provisions for such performance shares. The Committee,
in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares of Common Stock or in some
combination thereof, per the terms of the agreement approved by the Committee and delivered to the participant. Such agreement will state
all terms and conditions of the agreement.
Restricted
Stock
The
terms and conditions of any restricted stock awards granted to a participant will be set forth in an award agreement and, subject to
the provisions in the Plans, will be determined by the Committee. Under a restricted stock award, we issue shares of our Common Stock
to the recipient of the award, subject to vesting conditions and transfer restrictions that lapse over time or upon achievement of performance
conditions. The Committee will determine the vesting schedule and performance objectives, if any, applicable to each restricted stock
award. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the recipient may vote and receive dividends on shares of restricted stock issued under
our Plans.
Other
Share-Based Awards and Cash Awards
The
Committee may make other forms of equity-based awards under our Plans, including, for example, deferred shares, stock bonus awards and
dividend equivalent awards. In addition, our Plans authorize us to make annual and other cash incentive awards based on achieving performance
goals that are pre-established by our compensation committee.
9
Merger,
Consolidation or Asset Sale
If
the Company is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another
company while awards or options remain outstanding under the Plans, unless provisions are made in connection with such transaction for
the continuance of the Plans and/or the assumption or substitution of such awards or options with new options or stock awards covering
the stock of the successor company, or parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares
and prices, then all outstanding options and stock awards which have not been continued, assumed or for which a substituted award has
not been granted shall, whether or not vested or then exercisable, unless otherwise specified in the relevant agreements, terminate immediately
as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale.
Change
in Capitalization
If
the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock
dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, without receiving consideration therefore
in money, services or property, then awards amounts, type, limitations, and other relevant consideration shall be appropriately and proportionately
adjusted. The Committee shall make such adjustments, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Plan
Amendment or Termination
Our
Board has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate our Plans, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing
rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent. Each of the Plans will terminate ten years after the earlier
of (i) the date that each such Plan is adopted by the Board, or (ii) the date that each such Plan is approved by the Stockholders, except
that awards that are granted under the applicable Plan prior to its termination will continue to be administered under the terms of the
that Plan until the awards terminate, expire or are exercised.

Beneficial Ownership Table
The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by (i) each person who, to our
knowledge, owns more than 5% of our Common Stock (ii) our current directors and the named executive officers identified under the heading
“Executive Compensation” and (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group. We have determined beneficial
ownership in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC, and the information reflected in the table below is not necessarily indicative
of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under applicable SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person
has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after April
27, 2025 through the exercise of any option, warrant or right or through the conversion of any convertible security. Unless otherwise
indicated in the footnotes to the table below and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe, based on the information
furnished to us that each of the persons named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated
as beneficially owned.
10
The
information set forth in the table below is based on 61,169,509 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding on April 27, 2025.
In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed
to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities held by that person
that are currently exercisable or will be exercisable within 60 days after April 27, 2025. We did not deem these shares outstanding,
however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the principal address
of each of the Stockholders below is in care of Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc., 4016 Raintree Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23321.
