In parallel, the Company has set the date for a special stockholders meeting which is scheduled to take place on February 28, 2023 at 9:00am PST. The Company recommends that all FF stockholders as of January 31, 2023 submit proxies in favor of the proposal to increase the authorized shares of Faraday Future Class A common stock.

The Company recently announced the execution of definitive agreements for financing commitments of $135.0 million in convertible secured notes, of which the Company received $50.0 million ($44.5 million net of original discount and transaction costs) as of February 9, 2023, which means the Company has received the first payment of $50.0 million ($44.5 million net of original discount and transaction costs) and expects to receive $5.0 million ($4.5 million net of original discount) shortly after. An additional $25.0 million ($22.5 million net of original discount and transaction costs) is scheduled to be funded by February 17, 2023, subject to certain conditions. The remaining amount will be funded within 5 business days after the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the Company stockholder approval for the Authorized Share Increase at the Company’s special shareholders meeting on February 28, 2023, and an effective registration statement for the shares underlying the applicable notes and warrants. Once consummated on the contemplated timeline, the Company is expected to have raised all the necessary funds for the start of production (“SOP”) of the FF 91 Futurist.

A special stockholder meeting on February 28th will be held to consider a proposal to increase the authorized shares of Faraday Future Class A common stock. This proposal, if approved by Faraday Future stockholders, will clear the path for additional financing to support FF 91 Futurist deliveries and the Company’s other strategic goals. As a major stockholder of the Company, FF Top Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of FF Global Partners LLC (“FFGP”), agreed to vote all shares it beneficially owns to support such proposal in the upcoming special shareholders meeting.

Faraday Future stockholder approval is a condition to complete a portion of the above-mentioned funding, and a pivotal path for providing support to the Company in achieving its long-term goals. Additional information about the special stockholders meeting can be found in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A previously filed with the SEC.

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

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

You can go to the proxy section of ff.com to access voting details at this address to participate in the meeting February 28th:
