Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) provides the following update to the discussion of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 12b-25, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2021, relating to its inability to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”):

The Company expects its operating loss to increase to approximately $186 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $18 million operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily driven by increased costs to bring the Company’s Hanford, California manufacturing facility to full commercial production, including completion of production and manufacturing tooling, execution of its supply chain efforts and further enhancing its engineering, testing, certification and validation capabilities, as well as increased expenses for the development and production of future electric vehicle models, additional accruals for certain Company litigation and loss on disposal of property and equipment relating to the abandonment of certain FF 91 program assets, primarily vendor tooling, machinery and equipment, due to the improved redesign of the related FF 91 components and implementation of FF’s cost reduction program.

The Company expects its net loss to increase to approximately $304 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, relative to an approximately $33 million net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss is attributable to the significant increase in operating expenses, the loss relating to fair value measurement of related party notes payable, notes payable and warrant liabilities, as well as loss on extinguishment of related party notes payable, notes payable, and vendor payables in trust, net, which were converted to equity in connection with the closing of the Company’s previously announced business combination with Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (“PSAC”) on July 21, 2021.

The Company expects its total assets to be approximately $1 billion, which includes approximately $666 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $316 million of total assets at December 31, 2020. The increase in total assets is attributable to the proceeds from the closing of the business combination with PSAC as well as the related PIPE financing that closed concurrently with such business combination.

The Company expects its total liabilities to be approximately $378 million at September 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $896 million of total liabilities at December 31, 2020. The decrease in total liabilities is attributable to the settlement of the vendor trust and certain notes payable and related party notes payable with a combination of cash payments and conversions to equity at the closing of the business combination, partially offset by a liability to issue registered shares of Class A common stock recognized as part of the closing of the business combination with PSAC.

The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by the full period-to-period comparisons that will be provided in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Q3 Form 10-Q.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 31, 2022, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the SEC and issued a press release announcing, among other things, that the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period, and does not expect to file it by the extended filing date pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-25.

On February 1, 2022, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “February 1 Form 8-K”) disclosing, among other things, that a special committee of independent directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”) had completed a previously announced independent investigation into allegations of inaccurate Company disclosures. Since then, the Company continues to implement the appropriate remedial actions approved by the Special Committee and continues the additional investigative work and remedial work as recommended by the Special Committee, under the direction of the Executive Chairperson and reporting to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in each case as described in the February 1, 2022 Form 8-K. That work may result in further findings and remedial actions.

The Company needs additional time to complete the additional investigative work, implement such additional appropriate remedial actions and to finalize the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures for both the Q3 Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. The Company continues to evaluate its controls and compliance oversight and may report additional material weaknesses.

A copy of the Company’s press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information in Item 2.01 and this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Subsequent to the February 1 Form 8-K, the Company, certain members of the management team and employees of the Company received a notice of preservation and subpoena from the staff of the SEC stating that the SEC had commenced a formal investigation relating to the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. The Company, which had previously voluntarily contacted the SEC in connection with the Special Committee investigation, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s investigation.
