INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING

Why is the Company holding a Special Meeting of Stockholders?

The Board has called this Special Meeting of the Company’s stockholders to vote on five proposals (each of which is a “Proposal”, and together the “Proposals”).

Proposal 1 is to approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Common Stock”) from 154,437,500 to 1,389,937,500, increasing the total number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock and preferred stock from 164,437,500 to 1,399,937,500 (the “Share Authorization Proposal”).

For further information regarding the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, please refer to page 11 of this Proxy Statement.

supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Streeterville SPA”) by and between, the Company and Streeterville Capital, LLC, including the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), in respect of such notes and warrants (the “Share Issuance Proposal”). For further information regarding the Share Issuance Proposal, please refer to page 18 of this Proxy Statement.

Proposal 4 is to approve, as is required by the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, a new program pursuant to which selected employees of the Company may elect, or have elected, to have a portion of their base salary (on an after-tax basis) be used to purchase Class A Common Stock on each payroll date over a three-month period at the then-current volume weighted average trading price of the Class A Common Stock, and the related Salary Deduction and Share Purchase Agreement (the “Executive Share Purchase Proposal”). For further information regarding the Executive Share Purchase Proposal, please refer to page 21 of this Proxy Statement.

Proposal 5 is to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting by the Company from time to time to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, if sufficient votes are not represented at the Special Meeting to approve the Proposals at the time of such adjournment or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the Special Meeting to be necessary or appropriate (the “Adjournment Proposal”). For further information regarding the Adjournment Proposal, please refer to page 23 of this Proxy Statement.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO RETURN YOUR PROXIES OR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING TO ENSURE THAT YOUR VOTES ARE COUNTED ON EACH MATTER THAT IS BROUGHT TO A VOTE OF THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS.

When and where will the Special Meeting be held?

The Special Meeting will be held on February 5, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FFIE2024SM.

Why am I receiving these materials?

You are receiving this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board is soliciting your vote at the Special Meeting. This Proxy Statement summarizes material information with respect to the Special Meeting and the proposals being voted upon thereat. You may cast your vote over the Internet, by telephone or by completing and mailing the proxy card by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. You do not need to attend the Special Meeting to vote your shares.

How can I attend the Special Meeting?

Stockholders as of the Record Date (or their authorized representatives) may attend, vote and submit questions virtually at the Special Meeting by logging in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FFIE2024SM. To log in, stockholders (or their authorized representatives) will need the control number provided on their proxy card or voting instruction form. If you are not a stockholder or do not have a control number, you may still access the Special Meeting as a guest, but you will not be able to submit questions or vote at the Special Meeting.

What proposals will be voted on at the Special Meeting? What is the Board’s voting recommendation?

At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider the Proposals.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” EACH OF THE PROPOSALS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Will any other business not discussed in this Proxy Statement come before the Special Meeting?

No. Pursuant to the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold the Special Meeting and vote upon each of the Proposals. The presence, by virtual attendance, remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock”) and Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date and entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 124,270,721 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote and one share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (subject to the requirements set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock being satisfied). Thus, in addition to the presence of the Series A Preferred Stock at the meeting, the holders of 41,423,574 shares of Common Stock must be present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to have a quorum.

In addition, unless at least one-third of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date are present by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy, the holder of Series A Preferred Stock will not cast any votes on the Share Authorization Proposal or the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

Your shares will be counted toward the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote online during the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted toward the quorum requirement.

If there is no quorum, the Special Meeting may be adjourned to another date by the holders of a majority of shares present by virtual attendance at the meeting or represented by proxy or by the chairperson of the meeting without any action by the stockholders to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Who is entitled to vote?

The Record Date for the Special Meeting is the close of business on December 21, 2023. As of the Record Date, 124,270,721 shares of Common Stock were outstanding, consisting of 123,470,713 shares of Class A Common Stock and 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock, and one share of Series A Preferred Stock. Only holders of record of Common Stock as of the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock and 4,500,000,000 votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such stockholder on the Record Date.

The share of Series A Preferred Stock may only vote on the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split Proposal as described below.

On December 20, 2023, the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, pursuant to and in accordance with Article VI, Section 6.1 of the Charter and Section 229 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, approved on behalf of the Class B Common Stock (among other things) the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock and terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.

How many votes do I have?

For each proposal on the agenda for the Special Meeting, you have one vote for each share of Common Stock you owned as of the Record Date. The holder of the one outstanding share of our Series A Preferred Stock has 4,500,000,000 votes but has the right to vote only on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Series A Preferred Stock votes must be voted in the same proportion as the votes cast by shares of Common Stock on such Proposals. For example, if 60% of the votes cast by holders of common stock for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal vote “For” the proposal and 40% vote “Against” the proposal, the holder of the share of Series A Preferred Stock will cast 2,700,000,000 votes “For” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and 1,800,000,000 votes “Against” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. The Series A Preferred Stock will vote on the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split Proposal as a single class with the Common Stock. The share of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically redeemed by us effective upon the approval of the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (or at an earlier time as the Board may determine in its sole discretion).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How many votes are required for the approval of each of the Proposals, and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

Vote Required

Proposal 1. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and one share of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required for the approval of Proposal 1, the Share Authorization Proposal.

Proposal 2. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the one share of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required for the approval of Proposal 2, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

Proposal 3. The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote is required for the approval of Proposal 3, the Share Issuance Proposal. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote on this proposal.

Proposal 4. The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote is required for the approval of Proposal 4, the Executive Share Purchase Proposal.

Proposal 5. The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote is required for the approval of Proposal 5, the Adjournment Proposal. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote on this proposal.

Abstentions

A stockholder may abstain from voting with respect to each item submitted for stockholder approval. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. For all proposals, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against such Proposal.

Broker Non-Votes

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) deems the particular proposal to be a “routine” matter. Although our shares are listed with Nasdaq, the NYSE regulates broker-dealers and their discretion to vote on stockholder proposals. Under the NYSE rules applicable to brokers and other similar organizations that are subject to NYSE rules, such organizations may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed shares” with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under such rules and interpretations, non-routine matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported. In this regard, the NYSE has advised us that the Share Authorization Proposal, Share Issuance Proposal and the Executive Share Purchase Proposal should each be considered “non-routine” and, accordingly, we believe that your broker may NOT vote your shares on such proposals without your instructions. The NYSE has also advised us that that the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal should be considered as “routine” and, accordingly, we believe that your broker may vote your shares on such proposals without instructions from you. Nevertheless, whether a proposal is “routine” or “non-routine” remains subject to the final determination of the NYSE. If your shares are held by a bank, we believe your shares cannot be voted without your specific instructions. Accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker that holds your shares, we believe your broker should have discretionary authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal absent additional instructions from you. Given such discretionary authority, we do not anticipate broker non-votes for these proposals.

Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. For the Adjournment Proposal, broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the the Share Issuance Proposal and the Executive Share Purchase Proposal. Although abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will technically have the same effect as “Against” votes with respect to the Share

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, because the share of Series A Preferred Stock has 4,500,000,000 votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast (which does not include abstentions or broker non-votes), abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have virtually no effect on the outcome of the Share Authorization Proposal or the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. Therefore, if you do not wish for the Share Authorization Proposal or the Reverse Stock Split Proposal to pass, you should vote “Against” each such Proposal.

What are the consequences if the Share Authorization Proposal is not approved?

If the Share Authorization Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Charter will not be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 154,437,500 to 1,389,937,500, increasing the total number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock and preferred stock from 164,437,500 to 1,399,937,500. The failure to obtain approval of the Share Authorization Proposal may hinder the Company from meeting its existing obligations to issue shares of Common Stock as and if they become due, from obtaining future financing and from meeting the goals of its compensation strategy.

What are the consequences if the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved?

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Charter will not be amended to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Shares Reduction. The failure to obtain approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal may result in the Class A Common Stock becoming delisted by Nasdaq. Delisting of the Class A Common Stock by Nasdaq may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing and may result in the Company having to file for bankruptcy.

If it passes, will the Reverse Stock Split apply proportionately to the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock?

Yes. The Reverse Stock Split will apply proportionately to the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock. If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved, there shall be issued and outstanding immediately following such reverse stock split (i) one share of Class A Common Stock for every three shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such reverse stock split (before taking into account any Class A Common Stock required to be issued to individual holders to avoid fractional shares) and (ii) one share of Class B Common Stock for every three shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such reverse stock split (before taking into account any Class B Common Stock required to be issued to individual holders to avoid fractional shares).

What are the consequences if the Share Issuance Proposal is not approved?

Pursuant to the terms of the unsecured convertible promissory notes issued pursuant to the Streeterville SPA, the Company agreed to include a proposal at the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024 and any special meeting of stockholders called by the Company at which at least one “routine” proposal (as determined by the NYSE) is included in the proxy statement for such special meeting to obtain stockholder approval of the Share Issuance Proposal (the “Stockholder Approval”). If the Share Issuance Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Company would be obligated under the Streeterville Note (as defined in Proposal 2) to use reasonable best efforts to seek approval of the Share Issuance Proposal at a second special meeting of stockholders within 45 days after the Special Meeting and at each annual meeting of Company stockholders thereafter until such approval is obtained or until the Streeterville Note is no longer outstanding. The failure to obtain approval of the Share Issuance Proposal may hinder the Company from obtaining such further funding from the purchaser of the Streeterville Note and/or from obtaining future financing.

What are the consequences if the Executive Share Purchase Proposal is not approved?

If the Executive Share Purchase Proposal is not approved, then the Executive Share Purchase Program will not go into effect.

What are the consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not approved?

Our Bylaws provide that in the event a quorum is present at the Special Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the chairperson of the Special Meeting may decide to adjourn the Special Meeting without any action by the stockholders to permit further solicitation of proxies. Additionally, the chairperson of the Special Meeting may decide to adjourn the Special Meeting without any action by the stockholders whenever the requisite quorum has not been obtained to permit further solicitation of proxies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How will my shares be voted if I return a blank proxy card or voting instruction form?

If your shares are registered in your name, you must sign and return a proxy card in order for your shares to be voted, unless you vote via the Internet or by telephone, or vote at the Special Meeting. If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed. If you execute the proxy card and do not provide voting instructions on any given matter, your shares will be voted in accordance with our Board’s recommendations on that matter. We urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, or vote via the Internet or by telephone as instructed on the proxy card, whether or not you plan to vote at the Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in “street name” (that is, held for your account by a broker, bank or other nominee), you will receive a voting instruction form from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Your broker is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, then your shares may not be voted by your broker, bank or other nominee with regards to the Share Issuance Proposal, or the Executive Share Purchase Proposal but your shares may be voted on by your broker, bank or other nominee in their discretion with regards to the Share Authorization Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. If your broker, bank or other nominee executes the proxy card and does not provide voting instructions on any given matter, your shares will be voted in accordance with our Board’s recommendations on that matter. We urge you to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares in accordance with our Board’s recommendations on the voting instruction form, whether or not you plan to vote at the Special Meeting.

What is the deadline for submitting a proxy?

To ensure that proxies are received in time to be counted prior to the Special Meeting, proxies submitted by Internet or by telephone should be received by 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the day prior to the date of the Special Meeting, and proxies submitted by mail should be received by the close of business on the day prior to the date of the Special Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE SHARE AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL

Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

The Board recommends that the stockholders adopt an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 147,875,000 to 1,330,875,000 shares, increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 154,437,500 to 1,389,937,500 shares and the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock from 164,437,500 to 1,399,937,500 shares. Pursuant to the Charter, the Company currently has 10,000,000 shares of its preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and 154,437,500 shares of Common Stock authorized, including (i) 147,875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 6,562,500 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of December 21, 2023, there was one share of Preferred Stock, 123,470,713 shares of Class A Common Stock and 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.

The Board believes it is desirable for the Company to have a sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for the satisfaction of its existing obligations to issue shares of Class A Common Stock as and if they become due, for possible future financings or acquisition transactions, stock dividends or splits, stock issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans and other proper corporate purposes. In particular, in order to fund its ongoing operations and business plan, including to continue production of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance, the Company is seeking to raise additional capital from various fundraising efforts currently underway to supplement its cash on hand as of January 2, 2024 of $3.6 million, including restricted cash of $2.1 million. FF expects that it may be able to raise additional capital to support the ramp-up of production of the FF 91 to potentially generate sufficient revenues to put the Company on a path to cash flow break-even. It is possible that some of these additional shares could be used in the future for various other purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by the Charter, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which the Company’s securities may then be listed. The Board believes that approval of the Share Authorization Proposal is crucial predominantly to ensure that the Company has sufficient authorized shares to meet its existing obligations to issue shares of Class A Common Stock as and if they become due, and to secure needed financing without incurring the delay and expense of holding additional stockholders’ meetings.

If the Share Authorization Proposal is approved, up to an additional 1,207,404,287 shares of Class A Common Stock, or a total of 1,399,937,500 shares of authorized and unreserved shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock would be issued and outstanding or available for future issuance. The additional shares of Class A Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, including the right to cast one vote per share of Class A Common Stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders.

The Charter amendment will become effective upon the filing of the amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Company currently plans to file such amendment promptly after the Special Meeting if the Share Authorization Proposal is approved. The text of the form of the Charter amendment is set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement. Such text is subject to amendment to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware or as the Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the Authorized Shares Increase, if any.

Proposal

The Company is seeking stockholder approval to adopt an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 154,437,500 to 1,389,937,500, increasing the total number of authorized shares of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock from 164,437,500 to 1,399,937,500.

Voting Requirements

Approval of the Share Authorization Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and the one share of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. Each share of Common Stock has one vote. The share of Series A Preferred Stock has 4,500,000,000 votes, but those votes must be voted in the same proportion as the votes cast by shares of Common Stock on this Proposal. Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total and will have the same effect as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Against” votes for this Proposal. However, because the share of Series A Preferred Stock has 4,500,000,000 votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast (which does not include abstentions or broker non-votes), abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the manner in which the Series A Preferred Stock votes are cast. Therefore, if you do not wish for this Proposal to pass, you should vote “Against” this Proposal. We have been advised by NYSE that this Proposal should be considered “non-routine” under NYSE rules, and accordingly, we believe that your broker may not vote your shares on such Proposal without instructions from you. Nevertheless, whether a proposal is “routine” or “non-routine” remains subject to the final determination of NYSE.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE SHARE AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

The Board recommends that the stockholders authorize the Board to adopt an amendment to the Charter to effect (i) a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (including shares of common stock held by the Company in treasury), by a ratio of 1-for-3 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (ii) a corresponding reduction in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Shares Reduction”). The Board may determine, in its sole discretion, whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split and the Share Reduction, as well as its specific timing, provided that any amendment is implemented within one year after the conclusion of the Special Meeting.

If the shareholders approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Board, in its discretion, may elect to effect the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, or the Board may determine in its discretion not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. The Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Shares Reduction will only be effected after the Board (or a duly authorized committee of the Board) authorizes the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction (the “Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment”) and upon the filing and effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Effective Time”). The text of the form of the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment is set forth in Annex B to this Proxy Statement. Such text is subject to amendment to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware or as the Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, if any. The Board reserves the right to abandon the Reverse Stock Split Proposal without further action by our stockholders at any time before the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, even if stockholders approve such amendment at the Special Meeting.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal

The purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the market price of the Class A Common Stock in order to mitigate the risk of the Class A Common Stock being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq has several continued listing criteria that companies must satisfy in order to remain listed on the exchange. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires that companies maintain a closing bid price that is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). On December 28, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company has failed to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share for the prior 30-consecutive-trading-day period from November 9, 2023 to December 27, 2023. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will have 180 calendar days, or until June 25, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the bid price of the Class A Common Stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(3)(A)(iii), if during any compliance period specified in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), a company’s security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq will issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 with respect to that security (the “Low Priced Stocks Rule”). If a company receives such delisting notice, the company can request a hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel (the “Panel”). There can be no assurance that the Company’s Class A Common Stock will not close at or below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days during the Compliance Period or any additional compliance period. As such, there can be no assurance the Company will not receive such Staff Delisting Determination during the Compliance Period or any additional compliance period, or if the Company receives such Staff Delisting Determination, Nasdaq will grant the Company’s request for a hearing, or if Nasdaq grants the Company’s request for a hearing, the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Company’s compliance with all applicable listing criteria, including the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or that the Company will be able to timely satisfy the terms of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.

The Board believes that, should the appropriate circumstances arise, effecting the Reverse Stock Split would, among other things, help us to (1) increase the per share price of the Class A Common Stock, (2) maintain the listing of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, and (3) potentially improve the marketability and liquidity of the Class A Common Stock.

Increase the Per-Share Price of our Common Stock. The primary purpose for effecting the Reverse Stock Split, should the Board choose to effect it, would be to increase the per share price of the Class A Common Stock. In determining to seek authorization for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Board considered that, by combining a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

number of pre-split shares into one share of common stock, the market price of a post-split share is generally greater than the market price of a pre-split share. However, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the per share price of the Class A Common Stock or that any such increase will be proportional to the Reverse Stock Split ratio (see “Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Shares Reduction”).

Maintain Listing on Nasdaq. Our Class A Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “FFIE.” On December 28, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share for the prior 30-consecutive-trading-day period from November 9, 2023 to December 27, 2023. If, during the Compliance Period or any compliance period, the Class A Common Stock has a closing bid price of $0.10 price or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Company will receive a Staff Delisting Determination from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq pursuant to the Low Priced Stocks Rule. If the Company receives such Staff Delisting Determination, the Company intends to request a hearing before the Panel for continued listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Company’s compliance with all applicable listing criteria, including the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Board has considered the potential harm to the Company and its stockholders should Nasdaq delist the Class A Common Stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting the Class A Common Stock could adversely affect the liquidity of the Class A Common Stock because alternatives, such as the OTC Bulletin Board, OTC Markets, and the Pink Sheets, are generally considered to be less efficient markets. An investor likely would find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy the Class A Common Stock on an over-the-counter market. Many investors likely would not buy or sell the Class A Common Stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. The Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split is an effective means for the Company to maintain compliance with the rules of Nasdaq and to avoid, or at least mitigate, the likely adverse consequences of the Class A Common Stock being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market by producing the immediate effect of increasing the bid price of the Class A Common Stock.

Potentially Improve the Marketability and Liquidity of the Class A Common Stock. The Board believes that continued listing on Nasdaq provides overall credibility to an investment in the Class A Common Stock, given the stringent listing and disclosure requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, the Board believes that the increased market price of the Class A Common Stock expected as a result of implementing a Reverse Stock Split could improve the marketability and liquidity of the Class A Common Stock and encourage interest and trading in the Class A Common Stock by mitigating the negative effects of certain practices and policies:

•

Stock Price Requirements: Many brokerage firms have internal policies and practices that have the effect of discouraging individual brokers from recommending lower-priced securities to their clients. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential purchasers of the Class A Common Stock. Investment funds may also be reluctant to invest in lower-priced stocks.

•

Stock Price Volatility: A higher stock price may increase the acceptability of the Class A Common Stock to a number of long-term investors who may not find the Class A Common Stock attractive at its current prices due to the trading volatility often associated with stocks below certain prices. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower-priced stocks.

•	Transaction Costs: Investors may be dissuaded from purchasing stocks below certain prices because brokers’ commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction value, can be higher for lower-priced stocks.

•	Access to Capital Markets: If the Class A Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, investor demand for additional shares of the Class A Common Stock could be limited, thereby preventing us from accessing the public equity markets.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, could increase analyst and broker interest in the Class A Common Stock by avoiding these policies and practices. Increasing visibility of the Class A Common Stock among a larger pool of potential investors could result in higher trading volumes. We also believe that the Reverse Stock Split may make the Class A Common Stock a more attractive and cost-effective investment for many investors, which could

TABLE OF CONTENTS

enhance the liquidity of the Class A Common Stock for our stockholders. These increases in visibility and liquidity could also help facilitate future financings and give management more flexibility to focus on executing our business strategy, which includes the strategic management of authorized capital for business purposes.

Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed herein, we believe that being able to effect the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Reasons for the Authorized Shares Reduction

As a matter of Delaware law, the implementation of a reverse stock split does not require a reduction in the total number of authorized shares of common stock. However, without the Authorized Shares Reduction, the Reverse Stock Split – together with the Authorized Shares Increase to be implemented if Proposal 1 is approved at the Special Meeting – would significantly increase the proportion of unissued, authorized shares of Common Stock to issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, which could allow the Company to much more substantially dilute shareholders in the future than it is currently able to do. The Board believes that effecting the Authorized Shares Reduction in connection with the Reverse Stock Split will maintain alignment with the market expectations regarding the number of shares of authorized Common Stock in comparison to the number of shares issued or reserved for issuance, and ensure that we do not have what some shareholders might view as an unreasonably high number of authorized shares of Common Stock that are unissued or reserved for issuance following the Reverse Stock Split.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

There can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, including:

The Reverse Stock Split may not increase the price of Common Stock. We cannot assure you that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will increase the price of our Common Stock. We expect that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price of our Common Stock. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the market price of our Common Stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies in our industry is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. It is possible that the per-share price of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will not increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split, and the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per-share price that would attract investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. In addition, although we believe that the Reverse Stock Split may enhance the marketability of our Common Stock to certain potential investors, we cannot assure you that, if implemented, the Common Stock will be more attractive to investors. Even if we implement the Reverse Stock Split, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split, including our future performance. If the Reverse Stock Split is consummated and the trading price of our Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split.

We may not satisfy Nasdaq continued listing requirements following the Reverse Stock Split. While we intend to monitor the average closing price of the Class A Common Stock and consider available options if it does not continue to trade at a level likely to result in us maintaining compliance, no assurances can be made that we will in fact be able to comply and that the Class A Common Stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If, for example, the Board determines to effect the Reverse Stock Split when the Company’s share price is at or below $0.33 per share, the Reverse Stock Split would not result in the Company regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that if a listed company that fails to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement after effecting one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then the company is not eligible for a Minimum Bid Price Requirement compliance period. Thee Company effected a 1-for-80 reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock on August 25, 2023, and if the Company implements the proposed the Reverse Stock Split (after stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal), the Company will have effected reverse stock splits with a cumulative ratio of 240 shares to one. Any subsequent reverse stock split would cause the Company to exceed the 1-for-250 ratio. If the Class A Common Stock ultimately were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market for any reason, in addition to the effects noted above under “Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal — Maintain Listing on Nasdaq,” it could negatively impact us as it would likely reduce the liquidity and market price of the Class A Common Stock; reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock; negatively impact our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ability to access equity markets, issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future; affect our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees; and might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity of the Common Stock may be negatively impacted by the Reverse Stock Split, given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, it may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing marketability of the Common Stock as described above.

You should also keep in mind that the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction does not have an effect on the actual or intrinsic value of our business or a stockholder’s proportional ownership in the Company (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). However, should the overall value of Common Stock decline after the proposed Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, then the actual or intrinsic value of the shares of Common Stock held by you will also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value.

The Board considered all of the foregoing factors and determined that seeking stockholder approval for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders.

Reverse Stock Split Effective Time

The Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, if approved by stockholders and implemented by us, will be the date and time the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, or such later time set forth therein. See below under “Reservation of Right to Delay the Filing of the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment, or Abandon the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Shares Reduction.”

Except as to fractional shares, at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the Reverse Stock Split will combine, automatically and without any action on the part of us or our stockholders, three (3) shares of Common Stock issued (including shares of Common Stock held by the Company in treasury) immediately prior thereto into a one (1) share of Common Stock. Also at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the Authorized Shares Reduction will reduce, automatically and without any action on the part of us or our stockholders, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in proportion to the reduction of the issued shares.

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is Not Approved

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Charter will not be amended to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The failure to obtain approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal may result in the Class A Common Stock becoming delisted by Nasdaq. Delisting of the Class A Common Stock by Nasdaq may hinder the Company’s ability to raise financing and may result in the Company having to file for bankruptcy.

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is Approved

If this Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved and the Board elects to implement the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Shares Reduction, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will be reduced by a ratio of 1-for-3, and the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be proportionately decreased .

Effects on the Common Stock

If this Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved three shares of existing Common Stock would be combined into one new share of Common Stock. Based on 123,470,713 shares of Class A Common Stock and 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 21, 2023, immediately following a reverse stock split the Company would have approximately 41,156,904 shares of Class A Common Stock and 266,669 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding (without giving effect to rounding for fractional shares).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table contains approximate information, based on share information as of December 21, 2023, relating to our outstanding Common Stock based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio and information regarding our authorized and outstanding shares assuming that the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reserve Stock Split Proposal are approved and implemented.

Name and Position	Number of Shares of Common Stock Authorized	Number of Shares of Common Stock Issued and Outstanding⁽¹⁾	Number of Shares of Common Stock Authorized but not Outstanding
Pre-Share Authorization	154,437,500	124,270,721	30,166,779
Post-Share Authorization	1,389,937,500	124,270,721	1,265,666,779
Post-Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction	463,312,500	41,423,573	421,888,927

(1)

Includes 123,470,713 shares of Class A Common Stock and 800,008 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock. Excludes shares of stock reserved for issuance or issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, options, RSUs or the conversion of any outstanding convertible notes.

The Reverse Stock Split Proposal would be effected simultaneously for all of our Common Stock, and the exchange ratio would be the same for all shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction would affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares. Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split would remain fully paid and non-assessable. We will not issue any fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and in lieu thereof any shareholders that would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will be entitled to have their post-Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction share amount rounded up to the nearest whole share (which we describe below). Each shareholder will hold the same percentage of Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction other than the nominal effect of the treatment of fractional shares.

Effect on the Preferred Stock

The Reverse Stock Split Proposal, if implemented, would not affect the total authorized number of shares of our preferred stock or the par value of shares of our preferred stock. However, the outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically redeemed upon the earlier of (i) any time such redemption is ordered by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the stockholders of the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Proposal.

Effect on Equity Compensation Arrangements

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders and the Board decides to implement the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, as of the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the per share exercise price of any outstanding stock options and any applicable repurchase price of any restricted shares would be increased proportionately, and the number of shares issuable under outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and all other outstanding equity-based awards would be reduced proportionately. The number of shares of Common Stock authorized for future issuance under our equity plan would be proportionately reduced and other similar adjustments would be made under the equity plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the performance targets to which our performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) are subject, including certain stock price targets, would be proportionally adjusted based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio selected by the Board. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under our equity incentive plans will be proportionately adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split ratio, such that fewer shares will be subject to the equity incentive plans.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effect on Warrants and Convertible Notes

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders and the Board decides to implement the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, as of the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time:

•	all outstanding warrants will be adjusted in accordance with their terms, which will result in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of any such warrant being rounded up to the nearest whole share and proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise price; and

•	all outstanding convertible notes will have adjustments to the conversion rate and the conversion price made proportionate with the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

This will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such securities upon exercise or conversion, and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately adjusted based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

Effect on Market Capitalization

In addition, the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction will not itself immediately affect our overall market capitalization, i.e., our market capitalization immediately before the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction will be the same as immediately after the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, except as a result of any rounding up of fractional shares as described below. However, if our trading price increases or declines over time following the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, we will have a higher or lower market capitalization depending on that trading price.

Effect on Exchange Act Reporting and CUSIP

After the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, we would continue to be subject to periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Class A Common Stock would continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “FFIE.”

After the Effective Time, the post-Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction shares of Common Stock would have a new CUSIP number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities.

Effective Time of Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split Proposal, if approved by stockholders, would become effective upon the date determined by the Board and, if required by law or otherwise deemed advisable by the Board, upon the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The exact timing of the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment will be determined by the Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right to elect not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, if, at any time before the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that implementing the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If the Board does not implement a Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the conclusion of the Special Meeting, stockholder approval would again be required prior to implementing any future reverse stock split and/or share reduction.

Treatment of Fractional Shares

To avoid having any fractional shares of Common Stock (i.e., less than one full share of common stock) outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, we will issue one full share of the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any shareholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. Each holder of shares of Common Stock will hold the same percentage of the outstanding Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction as that shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction, except for minor adjustments due to the additional net share fraction that will need to be issued as a result of the treatment of fractional shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reservation of Right to Abandon the Reverse Stock Split Proposal

The Board believes that stockholder adoption and approval of the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-3 and the Authorized Shares Reduction is in the best interests of our stockholders. If our stockholders approve this Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Board will implement the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction only upon a determination that the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Shares Reduction is in the best interests of the stockholders at that time. The Board reserves the right to abandon the Reverse Stock Split Proposal without further action by our stockholders at any time before the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, even if stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split Amendment at the Special Meeting. By voting in favor of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, stockholders are also expressly authorizing the Board to determine not to proceed with, and abandon, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal if it should so decide.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Certain of our officers and directors have an interest in the Reverse Stock Split Proposal as a result of their ownership of shares of Common Stock. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in the Reverse Stock Split Proposal that are different than or greater than those of any of our other stockholders.

Proposal

The Company is seeking stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock by a ratio of 1-for-3 and a corresponding reduction in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and a corresponding reduction in the total number of shares the Company is authorized to issue, with such action to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board within one year after the conclusion of the Special Meeting.

Voting Requirements

Approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and the one share of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. Each share of Common Stock has one vote. The share of Series A Preferred Stock has 4,500,000,000 votes, but those votes must be voted in the same proportion as the votes cast by shares of Common Stock on this proposal. Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total and will have the same effect as “Against” votes for this Proposal. We do not anticipate broker non-votes for this proposal because we have been advised by NYSE that this Proposal should be considered “routine” under NYSE rules, and accordingly, we believe that your broker may vote your shares on this Proposal without instructions from you; however, to the extent there are broker non-votes for this Proposal, we believe such broker non-votes will be counted as votes “Against” such Proposal. Nevertheless, whether a proposal is “routine” or “non-routine” remains subject to the final determination of NYSE. If your shares are held by a bank, we believe your shares cannot be voted without your specific instructions. Further, because the share of Series A Preferred Stock has 4,500,000,000 votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast (which does not include abstentions or broker non-votes), abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the manner in which the Series A Preferred Stock votes are cast. Therefore, if you do not wish for this Proposal to pass, you should vote “Against” this Proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into the Streeterville SPA with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Purchaser”), to issue and sell $16,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s unsecured convertible senior promissory notes (the “Streeterville Note”) and a common stock purchase warrant (the “Streeterville Warrant”).

The Streeterville Note is subject to an original issue discount of $1,500,000 (the “OID”). In addition, the Company paid the Purchaser $150,000 to cover the Purchaser’s legal fees and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Streeterville Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The OID is included in the initial principal balance of the Streeterville Note and was reduced from the amount funded at closing. The Streeterville Note is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a conversion price equal to $71.40, plus an interest make-whole amount as set forth in the Streeterville Note, subject to certain adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution price protection.

The Streeterville Note matures on August 4, 2029. The Streeterville note accrues Interest at 10% per annum, payable on each conversion date and the maturity date in cash, or, at the Company’s option if all the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Streeterville Note) have been met, Class A Common Stock or a combination thereof, provided that, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Streeterville Note, the Company may elect to pay such interest in Class A Common Stock at a rate equal to 15% per annum with respect to the portion of such payment made in Class A Common Stock. The Company may, from time to time, prepay the principal amount owing under the Streeterville Note, subject to a prepayment premium percentage in an amount ranging from 0% to 10% of the principal amount of such Streeterville Note determined in accordance with a schedule set forth in the Streeterville SPA, so long as (i) the Company provides at least 15 days’ prior written notice to Purchaser of such prepayment and delivers to Purchaser an appropriately completed payment notification, and (ii) the Company accompanies such prepayment with the payment of any interest Make-Whole Amount as set forth in the Streeterville Note.

Under the Streeterville SPA, the Purchaser received the Streeterville Warrant to purchase up 76,261 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price equal to $71.40 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection and other adjustments, and are exercisable for seven (7) years on a cash or cashless basis.

Under the Streeterville SPA, the Company is required to reserve 312,500 shares of Class A Common Stock from its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock to provide for all issuances of Class A Common Stock under the Streeterville Note (the “Share Reserve”). On September 8, 2023 and from time to time thereafter until the Streeterville Note is paid in full, subject to certain conditions, the Company is required to add additional shares of Class A Common Stock to the Share Reserve in increments of 12,500 shares as and when requested by the Purchaser if the number of shares held in the Share Reserve is less than two (2) times the number of shares of Class A Common Stock the Purchaser would be entitled to receive upon conversion of all interest under the Streeterville Note (including any Make-Whole Amount ) plus two (2) times the number of shares the Purchaser would be entitled to receive upon conversion of all principal under the Streeterville Note.

The Purchaser has the option, from time to time for 12 months after the date of the Streeterville SPA, to purchase up to $7,500,00 in aggregate (or $15,000,000 in aggregate with Company’s consent) in additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Streeterville Note and Streeterville Warrant. Additionally, from the date of the Streeterville SPA until the date that is the five-year anniversary of the date of the Streeterville SPA, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Streeterville SPA) (each, a “Subsequent Financing”), if the Purchaser then owns at least $7,500,000 principal amount of Streeterville Notes (when aggregated with any affiliates of Purchaser) the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such Subsequent Financing up to an amount such that Purchaser’s ownership of the Company remains the same immediately following such Subsequent Financing as its ownership immediately prior to such Subsequent Financing, pursuant to the procedures outlined in the Streeterville SPA.

Under the Streeterville SPA, so long as the Streeterville Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by Company of any security with a More Favorable Term (as defined in the Streeterville SPA), or amendment, waiver or adjustment to any existing security that results in the granting of a More Favorable Term, then the Company is required to notify the Purchaser and such More Favorable Term, at the Purchaser’s option, will become a part of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Streeterville SPA) for the benefit of Purchaser. Additionally, if the Company fails to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

notify the Purchaser of any such More Favorable Term, but the Purchaser becomes aware that the Company has granted such a term to any third party, the Purchaser may notify the Company and such More Favorable Term will become a part of the Transaction Documents retroactive to the date on which the More Favorable Term was granted to the applicable third party.

The Company was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to efforts to file, within 15 calendar days of the date of the Streeterville SPA, a registration statement on the appropriate form providing for the resale by Purchaser of at the least the Initial Required Registration Amount (as defined in the Streeterville Note). The Company was also required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as possible and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement at all times until each Purchaser no longer owns the Streeterville Warrant or Streeterville Notes or shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof. The Company filed a resale registration statement regarding the Streeterville Note and Streeterville Warrant on August 29, 2023, which was declared effective by the SEC on September 6, 2023.

Pursuant to the Streeterville Note, the Company agreed to include a proposal to obtain stockholder approval, as is required by the Nasdaq listing rules, with respect to the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Issuance Cap”), of the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Streeterville Note), the Warrant Shares (as defined in the Streeterville SPA), and subject to any applicable Nasdaq rules, any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the note and warrant issuable in connection with the reinvestment right set forth in the Streeterville SPA in excess of the Issuance Cap (so long as such reinvestment is made within 90 days of Stockholder Approval) at the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024 and any special meeting of stockholders called by the Company at which at least one “routine” proposal (as determined by the NYSE) is to be included in the proxy statement for such special meeting; provided however, that if at any time after the date of the Streeterville SPA and prior to Stockholder Approval, Purchaser submits a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Streeterville Note) at such time as the Issuance Cap would prohibit the conversion of less than 150% of the Conversion Shares subject to such Conversion Notice, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to hold a special meeting of stockholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of stockholders) for Stockholder Approval within 45 days from the date of the Company’s receipt of such Conversion Notice, and in any case, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company will solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders are required to vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Stockholder Approval, if the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the Special Meetings, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to hold a new special meeting within 45 days from the date of the Special Meeting to obtain Stockholder Approval.

The foregoing description of the Streeterville SPA, Streeterville Note, and the Streeterville Warrant is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Streeterville SPA, the Streeterville Note, and the Streeterville Warrant filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 7, 2023.

If Stockholder Approval is not obtained at either meeting, the Company will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to seek such approval at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such approval is obtained or the Streeterville Notes are no longer outstanding.

The failure to obtain approval of the Share Issuance Proposal may hinder the Company from obtaining such further funding and/or from obtaining future financing. We are therefore requesting that stockholders approve the Share Issuance Proposal.

Proposal

The Company is seeking stockholder approval of, as is required by the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, transactions involving Streeterville SPA Notes and Streeterville SPA Warrants issued or to be issued pursuant to the Streeterville SPA, including the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock in respect of such notes and warrants.

Voting Requirements

The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote on this Proposal. The Bylaws require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Special Meeting and entitled to vote to approve the Share Issuance Proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “Against” this Proposal. We believe that broker non-votes will be counted towards the presence of a quorum but will have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for this Proposal because we have been advised by NYSE that this Proposal should be considered “non-routine” under NYSE rules, and accordingly, we believe that your broker may not vote your shares on such Proposal without instructions from you. Nevertheless, whether a proposal is “routine” or “non-routine” remains subject to the final determination of NYSE. If your shares are held by a bank, we believe your shares cannot be voted without your specific instructions.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE SHARE PURCHASE PROPOSAL

On September 21, 2023, the Board approved a new program pursuant to which selected employees of the Company may elect to have a portion of their base salary (on an after-tax basis) be used to purchase Class A Common Stock on each payroll date over a three-month period at the then-current volume weighted average trading price of the Class A Common Stock by entering into a Salary Deduction and Share Purchase Agreement with the Company (the “Executive Share Purchase Program”). Stockholders are being asked to approve the Executive Share Purchase Program as described below. If stockholders do not approved the Executive Share Purchase Program, the Executive Share Purchase Program will not go into effect.

Summary Description of the Executive Share Purchase Program

The principal terms of the Executive Share Purchase Program are summarized below. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Salary Deduction and Stock Purchase Agreement, which appears as Annex C to this Proxy Statement.

Purpose. The purpose of the Executive Share Purchase Program is to provide employees who participate in the program with a convenient way to increase their stock ownership in the Company and further align their interests with those of stockholders.

Operation of the Program. Employees who elect to participate in the program will complete a Salary Deduction and Stock Purchase Agreement (a “Purchase Agreement”), indicating the percentage of their base salary (on an after-tax basis) that will be used to purchase Class A Common Stock on each payroll date of the Company that occurs over a three-month period (each, a “Purchase Date”). If stockholders approve the Executive Share Purchase Program, the program will take effect with the first Company payroll date after such stockholder approval is obtained and will continue in effect for three months. On each Purchase Date during the three-month term of the Program, each participating employee will purchase from the Company a number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the amount deducted from the employee’s after-tax base salary on the Purchase Date pursuant to the employee’s Purchase Agreement (plus any unused amount that had been deducted from the employee’s after-tax base salary on as of the prior Purchase Date that was not sufficient to purchase a whole share on that date), by (ii) the Share Price (as defined below) for that Purchase Date, rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares. Any amount not used to purchase shares will be carried forward to the next following Purchase Date (or, if the employee’s Purchase Agreement has terminated, will be refunded to the employee).

The “Share Price” for each Purchase Date will equal the daily volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding trading date) on the principal exchange on which Class A Common Stock is listed or admitted to trade.

Eligibility. Only individuals who are employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that are selected by the Company to participate in the Executive Share Purchase Program are eligible to participate, provided that such individual must be either an “accredited investor” as defined under the U.S. securities laws or not a “U.S. person” as defined under the U.S. securities laws.

If stockholders approve the Executive Share Purchase Program, we expect that approximately 6 officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including all of our named executive officers) will be eligible to participate in the program.

Termination of Participation. Each participant’s Purchase Agreement will terminate on the Purchase Date that is approximately three months after the initial Purchase Date for the Executive Share Purchase Program (or, if earlier, the termination of the participant’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason), and the participant will not purchase any shares under the program thereafter.

Lock-Up. Pursuant to the participants’ Purchase Agreements, each participant agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer any shares acquired under the Executive Share Purchase Program for six months after the date of purchase of the shares (or, if earlier, the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the resale of the shares or other waiver of such restriction by the Company).

No Limit on Other Plans. The Executive Share Purchase Program does not limit the ability of the Company, the Board or any committee of the Board to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Class A Common Stock, under any other plan or authority.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendments. Each Purchase Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the participant.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

Under current U.S. federal tax law, which is subject to change, we expect that an employee’s purchase of shares from the Company results in income recognition equal to the excess (if any) of the closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date over the price paid for the shares. Any amount of income recognized is subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company will generally have a corresponding deduction for such amount. If the purchase price paid is greater than or equal to the closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date, the executive would not recognize any income for the purchase of the shares and the Company would not have any tax deduction.

The above summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other considerations, does not describe state, local, or international tax consequences.

Specific Benefits

The benefits that will be received by participants in the Executive Share Purchase Program cannot be determined at this time because the amount of contributions set aside to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock under the program (subject to the limitations discussed above) is entirely within the discretion of each participant. In addition, the number of shares purchased on each purchase date will depend on the trading prices of our Class A Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date. As of December 21, 2023 there were 123,470,713 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding.

The closing market price for a share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 2, 2024 was $0.2000 per share, and the Share Price (calculated as described above) on that date would have been $0.2181 per share.

Equity Compensation Plans

For information concerning our equity compensation plans, please see the “Equity Compensation Plan Information” section below.

Proposal

The Company is seeking shareholder approval of the Executive Share Purchase Program on the terms described above.

Voting Requirements

The Company’s Bylaws require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote to approve the Executive Share Purchase Proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “Against” this Proposal. We believe that broker non-votes will be counted towards the presence of a quorum but will have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for this Proposal because we have been advised by NYSE that this Proposal should be considered “non-routine” under NYSE rules, and accordingly, we believe that your broker may not vote your shares on such Proposal without instructions from you. Nevertheless, whether a proposal is “routine” or “non-routine” remains subject to the final determination of NYSE. If your shares are held by a bank, we believe your shares cannot be voted without your specific instructions.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE EXECUTIVE SHARE PURCHASE PROGRAM PROPOSAL.

ALL OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXECUTIVE SHARE PURCHASE PROGRAM AND THEREFORE HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST IN THE APPROVAL OF THIS PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 5: APPROVAL OF AN ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES

Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

If the Special Meeting is convened and a quorum is present, but there are not sufficient votes to approve the Proposals, or if there are insufficient votes to constitute a quorum, our proxy holders may move to adjourn the Special Meeting at that time in order to enable the Board to solicit additional proxies.

In this proposal, we are asking our stockholders to authorize the adjournment of the Special Meeting by the Company from time to time to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, if sufficient votes are not represented at the Special Meeting to approve the Proposals or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the meeting to be necessary or appropriate. If our stockholders approve this proposal, we could adjourn the Special Meeting and any adjourned or postponed session of the Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted. Among other things, approval of this proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat the Proposals, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on such proposal and seek to convince our stockholders to change their votes in favor of such proposal.

If it is necessary or appropriate (as determined in good faith by the Board) to adjourn the Special Meeting, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to our stockholders, other than an announcement at the Special Meeting of the time and place to which the Special Meeting is adjourned, so long as the meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Proposal

The Company is seeking stockholder approval to adjourn the Special Meeting by the Company from time to time to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, if sufficient votes are not represented at the Special Meeting to approve the Proposals or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the meeting to be necessary or appropriate.

Vote Required

The Bylaws require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of our Common Stock present by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Special Meeting to approve the Adjournment Proposal. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote on this Proposal. Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total and will have the same effect as “Against” votes for this Proposal. We do not anticipate broker non-votes for this proposal because we have been advised by NYSE that this Proposal should be considered “routine” under NYSE rules, and accordingly, we believe that your broker may vote your shares on this Proposal without instructions from you; however, to the extent there are broker non-votes for this Proposal, we believe such broker non-votes will have no effect because they are not considered entitled to vote on this Proposal under Delaware law. Nevertheless, whether a proposal is “routine” or “non-routine” remains subject to the final determination of NYSE. If your shares are held by a bank, we believe your shares cannot be voted without your specific instructions.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for certain of FF’s executive officers and directors. The share amounts discussed in this section have been adjusted to reflect the 80:1 reverse stock split effective August 25, 2023. As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, FF is not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and has elected to apply the scaled back disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which require compensation disclosure for all individuals who served as FF’s principal executive officer during 2023, its two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2023 exceeded $100,000 and who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2023 and two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided but for the fact that such individual was not serving as an executive officer at the end of 2023. We refer to these individuals as “named executive officers.” For 2023, FF’s named executive officers and the positions each held as of December 31, 2023 were:

•	Mr. Matthias Aydt, Global Chief Executive Officer⁽¹⁾

•	Mr. Xuefeng (XF) Chen, former Global Chief Executive Officer⁽²⁾

•	Mr. Jonathan Maroko, Interim Chief Financial Officer⁽³⁾

•	Ms. Yun Han, Chief Accounting Officer and Former Interim Chief Financial Officer⁽⁴⁾

•	Mr. Chui Tin Mok, Global Executive Vice President and Global Head of User Ecosystem

•	Mr. YT Jia, Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer

(1)	Mr. Aydt was appointed Global Chief Executive Officer effective September 29, 2023.

(2)	Mr. Xuefeng Chen resigned from his position as Global Chief Executive Officer effective September 29, 2023.

(3)	Mr. Maroko was appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer effective July 24, 2023.

(4)	Ms. Han resigned from her position as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective July 5, 2023.

We expect that FF’s executive compensation program will continue to evolve to reflect FF’s status as a newly publicly-traded company, while still supporting FF’s overall business and compensation objectives of attracting, motivating and retaining individuals who contribute to the long-term success of FF. The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for administering FF’s executive compensation program and, at the direction of the Compensation Committee, FF has retained Mercer (US) Inc. (“Mercer”), an independent executive compensation consultant, to help advise on FF’s executive compensation program.

2023 Compensation of Named Executive Officers

Base Salary

Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of the executive compensation program. In general, FF seeks to provide a base salary level designed to reflect each executive officer’s scope of responsibility and accountability. Please see the “Salary” column in the “Summary Compensation Table — Fiscal 2023” for the base salary amounts received by each named executive officer in 2023.

Bonuses

Pursuant to the terms of their respective offer letter and employment agreement, as applicable, the named executive officers are eligible for a pro-rated discretionary target bonus for 2023 in the following amounts:

•	Mr. Aydt in the amount of $100,000.

•	Mr. Chen in the amount of $450,000.

•	Mr. Maroko in the amount of $250,000.

•	Ms. Han in the amount of $240,000.

•	Mr. Mok in the amount of $300,000.

•	Mr. Jia in the amount of $350,000.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Based on a review of the Company’s performance in 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board is in the process of determining whether to award these discretionary bonuses.

Equity Awards

To further focus FF’s executive officers on FF’s long-term performance, FF has granted equity compensation in the form of stock options and RSUs.

In early 2023, the Company granted Mr. Chen stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock, which will vest in eight equal annual installments on each of the first eight anniversaries. Mr. Chen was also granted performance based stock options to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock, which will vest in four equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the start of production of the Company’s FF 91 model.

In late 2023, the Company granted Mr. Maroko 57,971 RSUs, which will vest in four equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries.

Please see the “Summary Compensation Table — Fiscal 2023” and the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year-End” tables for further information regarding the equity grants received by the named executive officers during 2023.

Description of Retirement Plans

FF maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan for the benefit of its full-time employees based in the United States, although none of the named executive officers participated in the plan during 2022. This 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so that employee contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer a portion of their eligible compensation, not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit, in the form of elective deferral contributions to this 401(k) plan. This 401(k) plan also has a “catch-up contribution” feature for employees aged 50 or older (including those who qualify as “highly compensated” employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. Currently, FF does not make any discretionary or matching employer contributions to the 401(k) plan. Participants are always vested in their contributions to the 401(k) plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock, as of January 2, 2024, for (1) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (2) each member of the Board, (3) each of our named executive officers and (4) all of the members of the Board and our executive officers, as a group. As of January 2, 2024, there were outstanding 127,218,264 shares of Class A Common Stock, 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock, and 28,339,578 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, consisting of 294,263 warrants originally issued in the initial public offering of Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (“PSAC”), the predecessor company to FF (or otherwise originally included in the private units purchased in connection with the initial public offering of PSAC, and subsequently sold), 1,390 warrants originally issued in a private placement in connection with the initial public offering of PSAC, 26,377,659 warrants issued in a private placement on August 5, 2021 to Ares Capital Corporation and affiliated entities pursuant to a note purchase agreement with FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd., an entity surviving a merger with PSAC Merger Sub Ltd. to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSAC and 1,666,266 warrants issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 14, 2022, among the Company and the other parties thereto, as amended on September 23, 2022, September 25, 2022, October 24, 2022, November 8, 2022, December 28, 2022, January 25, 2023, February 3, 2023, March 23, 2023, May 8, 2023, June 26, 2023 and September 21, 2023.

The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 127,218,264 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 2, 2024, (including for this purpose, 800,008 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 800,008 shares of Class B Common Stock held by FF Top, all as issued and outstanding shares as of January 2, 2024) and do not take into account the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase up to 28,339,578 shares of Class A Common Stock that remain outstanding, the exercise of any of the 130,969 outstanding options and vesting of 332,797 unvested RSUs (both within 60 days January 2, 2024), or the conversion of any of the outstanding convertible notes. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to warrants and stock options held by the person that are currently exercisable or may be exercised within 60 days of January 2, 2024. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days.

Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned Common Stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed in the table below is c/o Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, California 90248.

OTHER MATTERS

In accordance with the Bylaws, the business transacted at the Special Meeting will be limited to the matters set forth in the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders and this Proxy Statement.

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

The Company will bear the expenses of calling and holding the Special Meeting and the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Special Meeting. These costs will include, among other items, the expense of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing the proxy materials to stockholders of record and street name stockholders, and reimbursements paid to brokers, banks, and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to stockholders and obtaining voting instructions from street name stockholders. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our directors, officers, and certain employees, investors and their representatives may solicit proxies on behalf of the Company, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone.

Certain representatives of FF Top and of its indirect parent entity FF Global, including, without limitation, Jerry Wang, Weiwei Zhao and Wenyi Yan (collectively, the “FF Top Representatives”), are additional participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Special Meeting. Information regarding the direct and indirect interests in the Company, by security holdings or otherwise, of FF Global, FF Top and the FF Top Representatives is included in this Proxy Statement; the post-effective amendment to registration statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023; Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on August 21, 2023; and in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC from time to time. Changes to the director or indirect ownership of FF Top and FF Global are set forth in SEC filings on Schedule 13D/A.

The Company has retained Georgeson LLC to solicit proxies. Under our agreement with Georgeson LLC, they will receive a fee of up to approximately $100,000 plus the reimbursement of reasonable expenses. The Company also agreed to indemnify Georgeson LLC against certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, its retention. Georgeson LLC will solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile and email.

HOUSEHOLDING

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC, called “householding.” Under this procedure, we send only one Proxy Statement and one annual report to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to eliminate duplicate mailings, conserve natural resources, and reduce our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you share an address with another stockholder and receive only one set of proxy materials but would like to request a separate copy of these materials, please contact our mailing agent, Broadridge Financial Solutions, either by calling (866) 540-7095, or by writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and an additional copy of proxy materials will be promptly delivered to you. Similarly, if you receive multiple copies of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, you may also contact Broadridge at the above telephone number or address. If you own shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you should contact the nominee concerning householding procedures.

AGREEMENT

1.	Payroll Deductions.

Sophisticated Investor. Officer is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Officer further warrants and represents that Officer has either (i) preexisting personal or business relationships, with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons, or (ii) the capacity to protect Officer’s own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares by virtue of the business or financial expertise of Officer or of professional advisors to Officer who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any of its affiliates, directly or indirectly.

Foreign Investors. If Officer is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Officer hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares.
