Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As we begin the fourth quarter of 2021, I would like to take this opportunity to update everyone on the progress being made to complete the merger with Net Element.

I am pleased to say that the SEC has declared effective the S-4 registration statement of the shares of the merger. The shareholders and boards of both companies have approved the deal and the Company believes it can comply with the listing standards of the NASDAQ. The Company currently is awaiting a final response from NASDAQ.

I would also like to update you on the upcoming debut of Mullen FIVE EV crossover. Mullen will be debuting the FIVE this coming November 2021 at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. Please visit Mullen and the FIVE EV Crossover Nov. 17 – 28 in the South Hall (Booth S-101) of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

We will continue communicating our developments to the investment community, and encourage shareholders and potential investors to visit our website and follow our social media channels, such as Facebook and Twitter, to stay informed and fully aware of new developments as they occur.

I continue to be excited and encouraged about Mullen’s potential and its future as a publicly-listed company.
