On
July 9, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated May 14, 2024 between Mullen Automotive Inc. (the “Company”)
and certain investors (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), which was previously disclosed in the Company’s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2024 (the “Form
10-Q”), the investors purchased an additional 5% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Notes that are convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in the initial aggregate principal
amount of $10.5 million (or $10 million including the 5% original issue discount) (the “Notes”) and also received
five-year warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 3,834,726 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Notes
and Warrants have the same terms and conditions as the previously issued notes and warrants as described in the Form 10-Q.
On
July 9, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Release dated May 31, 2024 between the Company and Ault Lending,
LLC (the “Preferred Investor”) as previously disclosed in the Company Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC
on June 6, 2024, the Company issued to the Preferred Investor a 5% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Notes in the initial aggregate
principal amount of $3,157,894.74 (or $3.0 million including the 5% original issue discount), and five-year warrants exercisable for an
aggregate of 1,150,416 shares of Common Stock, in exchange for 76,923 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, held by the Preferred Investor. Such notes and warrants were issued to the Preferred Investor pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement and have the same terms and conditions of the Notes and Warrants, as further described in the Form 10-Q.
Copies
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the form of Note and the form of Warrant are filed as Exhibits 10.3, 10.3(a), and 10.3(b), respectively,
to the Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 3.02 | Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities. |
The
disclosure required by this Item is included in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes and Warrants issued to the investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and upon conversion or exercise, as applicable,
the shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration for transactions by an issuer not involving any
public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes
and Warrants issued to the Preferred Investor were issued pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act,
which applies to transactions in which a security is exchanged by an issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission
or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
From
June 10 through July 8, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 837,600 additional shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of
the Settlement Agreement and Stipulation with Silverback Capital Corporation (“SCC”), dated May 13, 2024 approved
by a court order on May 29, 2024 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Further information about the Settlement Agreement
and related court order were previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 6, 2024.
The issuance of Common Stock to SCC pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by the court order is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, as an issuance of securities in exchange for bona
fide outstanding claims, where the terms and conditions of such issuance are approved by a court after a hearing upon the fairness of
such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange shall have the right to appear.
| Item 5.07. | Submission
of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
The
Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 9, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”). As of June 3, 2024, the record
date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were issued and outstanding 15,583,380 shares of Common Stock,
648 shares of series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), 458 shares of series
C preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and 76,923 shares of series E preferred
stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series E Preferred Stock”), entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. There are
no shares of series B preferred Stock outstanding and the shares of series D preferred stock were not entitled to vote on the matters
at the Special Meeting. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to 1,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, which
represents 648,000 votes. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such
Series C Preferred Stock may be converted, which was one share. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to 10 votes for each
share of Common Stock into which such Series E Preferred Stock may be converted, which represents 769,230 votes. A total of 5,257,706
shares of capital stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, representing 6,532,430 votes, were present, in person or by proxy, at
the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. A description of each matter
voted upon at the Special Meeting is described in detail in the proxy statement as supplemented, filed with the SEC on June 10, 2024
and July 2, 2024, respectively (the “Proxy Statement”). The final votes on the proposals presented at the Special
Meeting are set forth below.
Proposal
1: Approval, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), of the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
senior secured convertible notes and related warrants, and any future adjustments of the conversion price of the notes and exercise price
of the warrants, purchased pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 14, 2024, in excess of the 19.99% share cap contained
therein. The proposal required the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series
A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock (voting on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, as applicable),
present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, all voting together as a single class. Abstentions had the same
effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes had no effect on the result of the vote. Proposal 1 was approved by vote of stockholders
as follows:

contained therein. The proposal required the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock (voting on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, as
applicable), present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, all voting together as a single class. Abstentions

Proposal
3: To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting from time to time, to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate,
under certain circumstances, including for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor one or more of the foregoing proposals,
in the event the Company does not receive the requisite stockholder vote to approve such proposal(s) or establish a quorum. The proposal
required the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock (voting on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, as applicable), present in person
or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, all voting together as a single class. Abstentions had the same effect as votes
against the proposal. Broker non-votes had no effect on the result of the vote. Since a quorum was established for the Special Meeting
and there were sufficient votes for approval of the other proposals, this proposal was not presented at the Special Meeting. However,
the vote of stockholders was as follows:
