Market
Information for Common Stock
On July 8, 2024, we commenced the trading of our Common Stock and Public
Warrants under the symbols “SDST” and “SDSTW,” respectively, on the Nasdaq Global Market. Starting October 27,
2025, our Common Stock and Public Warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Holders
of Record
As of March 24, 2026, there were approximately 68 holders of record
of our Common Stock and 31 holders of record of our Public Warrants. Because many of our Public Warrants and shares of Common Stock
are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial owners
of our Common Stock and Public Warrants represented by these record holders.
Dividend
Policy
We
have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings
for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. Any
future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will
depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our board
of directors may deem relevant.
