Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 7, 2023 (the “Original 8-K”) by Mullen Automotive Inc. (the “Company”). The Original 8-K was filed to report the results of the matters submitted to a vote at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 3, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Except for the foregoing, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original 8-K, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.

As previously reported in the original 8-K, a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay”) was held at the Annual Meeting. The Company’s stockholders cast the highest number of votes in favor of holding future Say-on-Pay votes every three years. After consideration of these voting results and the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors in the proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 10, 2023, the Company determined that future Say-on-Pay votes would be held every three years until the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes.
