Faraday Future Plans to Host a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 30th, 2023, Announces Plans for Additional $50 Million Offering to Existing Shareholders

  • Affirmative vote required on March 30, 2023 special meeting of stockholders in order for the Company to receive remaining funds as contemplated in the $135 million fundraising announced on February 5, 2023; initial funding amounts have been received by the Company as planned
  • Company has already received non-binding indications of interest for nearly full amount of additional $50 million fundraising to support scaling FF 91 Futurist production, and the Company is providing its stockholders the opportunity to invest

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) ("Faraday Future", “FF” or "Company"), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced it will hold a special meeting of stockholders on Thursday, March 30th, 2023. The Company recommends that all FF stockholders as of February 3, 2023 submit proxies in favor of the proposals. The Company also announced plans for an additional $50 million raise from institutional investors and potential additional raise from its stockholders to further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and fund the production ramp-up.

The special stockholder meeting on March 30th will be held to consider the following two topics:

  1. The Company needs approval from its stockholders for certain transactions involving the Tranche C and D notes and warrants issued or to be issued to FF Simplicity Ventures LLC, Senyun International Limited, Acuitas Capital, LLC, and/or their affiliates. This approval is required by the Nasdaq Stock Market rules and regulations for the Company to issue shares that exceed 19.99% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock in relation to those notes and warrants.



  2. The Company is seeking stockholder ratification of the selection of Mazars as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company has received initial funding from investors as planned based on investment agreement. Stockholder approval of the first proposal above is a condition to complete the remaining portion of the recently announced financing commitments of $135.0 million in convertible secured notes. These funds will provide a pivotal path for providing support to the Company in achieving its upcoming Start of Production (“SOP”) and Start of Delivery (“SOD”) milestones as well as further long-term goals. Additional information about the special stockholders meeting can be found in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A previously filed with the SEC.

FFIE stockholders may cast their vote over the Internet, by telephone or by completing and mailing the proxy card by following the instructions on the proxy card. Signing and returning the proxy card or submitting your proxy by Internet or telephone in advance of the special meeting will not prevent you from voting at the special meeting if you attend virtually but will assure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend the special meeting.

Proxies forwarded by or for banks, brokers or other nominees should be returned as requested by them. We encourage you to vote promptly to ensure your vote is represented at the special meeting, regardless of whether you plan to attend the special meeting.

You can go to the proxy section of www.ff.com to access voting details at this address to participate in the meeting March 30th: www.ff.com/vote

As the new board of directors and management strive to maximize stakeholder interest, the Company would like to provide FFIE stockholders that are accredited investors an investment opportunity at this exciting turning point that will help the Company scale production of the FF 91 Futurist vehicles. FF expects that once the Company starts production and delivery of the FF 91 Futurist vehicles as anticipated, FF’s cost of capital will drop considerably as the Company continues to hit milestones and begins to generate revenue.

FFIE is immensely grateful to its stockholders for their unwavering trust and appreciate their continued support. Over the past few months, FF has taken steps to strengthen the board and management and is dedicated to ensuring the best interests of FF’s stakeholders. These efforts demonstrate a commitment to the promises as the Company establishes a strong foundation to achieve the ultimate goal of generating value for its stakeholders.

FF is the pioneer of the Ultimate Intelligent TechLuxury ultra spire market in the intelligent EV era, and a disruptor of the traditional ultra-luxury car civilization.

FF is not just an EV company, but also a software-driven company of intelligent internet AI product. Ultimately, FF aims to become a User Company by offering a shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem.

FF envisions the growth of FF in three phases:

The phase 1 goal is to deliver the FF 91 Futurist Alliance, FF 91 Futurist and FF 91 to FF’s global ultra spire users with high quality and high product power, thereby disrupting traditional ultra-luxury brands, and ultimately becoming the leader in the global spire user market.

As the Company introduces more upcoming vehicle models, the user ecosystem will begin to take shape. FF expects that subsequent hardware revenues will grow, and the eco revenues, which include internet apps, software, and sharing, will also continue to grow. The phase 2 goal is to establish FF as a major player in the high-value user market.

During phase 3, FF intends to sustain the growth of its hardware revenues and eco revenues, which FF believes will constitute an increasingly substantial portion of the overall profit.

FF is completing its testing and validation of the FF 91 Futurist through the Product and Technology Generation 2.0 program (PT Gen 2.0). The generational upgrade from PT Gen 1.0 to PT Gen 2.0 consists of significant upgrades of systems and core components in both the vehicle and the I.A.I. area – the advanced core, which stands for Internet, Autonomous Driving, and Intelligence. PT Gen 2.0 was achieved through upgrades of 26 major systems and components, with 13 key upgrades throughout powertrain, battery, charging, chassis, interior from EV areas, and 13 key upgrades in computing, sensing, communication, user interaction, and performance of the FF 91 Futurist.

Competing with Ferrari, Maybach, Rolls Royce, and Bentley as the only next-gen Ultimate Intelligent TechLuxury EV product, the FF 91 Futurist offers a unique and intelligent EV experience with extreme technology and an ultimate user experience. The FF 91 Futurist is undergoing a series of final vehicle validation and testing before production and delivery in the coming months. Among them, the FF 91 Futurist is certified at an EPA range of 381 miles, which is the longest EPA range among electric crossovers and SUVs in the world and nearly 50-70 miles more range than similar competitors. With a 0-60 mph time of just 2.27 seconds, the FF 91 Futurist beats nearly all competitors in the ultra-luxury market segment.

Currently, we are making every effort to prepare for FF 91 Futurist production based on a detailed production plan at the FF ieFactory California. At the same time, FF will continue to promote the efficient implementation of FFIE's US-China dual-home market and dual-DNA strategy to ensure the Company’s success in both of these two major global markets.
