Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

“On June 22, 2022, FF Top delivered a Notice of Removal of FF Top Designee (the “Removal Notice”) to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2021, by and between FF Top and the Issuer (the “Shareholder Agreement”), stating that FF Top was exercising FF Top’s right to remove Mr. Brian Krolicki, an FF Top Designee, from the Board of Directors.  Such notice also stated that FF Top intended to notify the Board of Directors of its nominee to fill the vacancy created by such removal by subsequent notice.  A copy of the Removal Notice is included as Exhibit 7 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

Also on June 22, 2022, FF Top delivered a letter to the Board of Directors requesting a review by a newly appointed independent director of Mr. Krolicki’s conduct while a member of the Board of Directors, in light of, among other things, the significant loss in shareholder value having occurred during his tenure on the Board of Directors.

On June 23, 2022, FF Top delivered a Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designee to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, stating that FF Top was nominating Ms. Li Han, formerly a partner at an internationally recognized law firm, to replace Mr. Krolicki as an FF Top Designee (as such term is defined in the Shareholder Agreement) on the Board of Directors.  A copy of such notice is included as Exhibit 8 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

Also on June 23, 2022, the Issuer delivered a letter to FF Top, in which the Issuer stated that it believes the Removal Notice was ineffective.  The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer is in violation, among other things, of the Issuer’s obligations under Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, which states that the Issuer “shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any time and from time to time, all Necessary Actions to facilitate the removal of any of the FF Top Designees that FF Top intends to remove.””

Item 7.

Notice of Removal of FF Top Designee from FF Top to the Board of Directors, dated June 22, 2022.
   
Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designee from FF Top to the Board of Directors, dated June 23, 2022.

RE: Notice of Removal of FF Top Designee
 
Reference is made to the Shareholder Agreement, dated July 21, 2021 (the “Shareholder Agreement”), by and between Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

FF Top requires the Removed Person and the Company to acknowledge to FF Top in writing no later than 5 pm, New York time, on Thursday, June 23, 2022 that the Removed Person has been removed from the Board by virtue of this notice.  FF Top additionally requires that the Board promptly comply and cause the Company to promptly comply with all of their respective obligations, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement and otherwise, in connection with this matter including by (i) disclosing the removal of the Removed Person under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K within four business days of the date hereof, (ii) promptly  appointing our replacement FF Top Designee to the Board upon receipt of our nomination thereof (and disclosing such appointment under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K within four business days of the date of such appointment) and (iii) promptly taking all further Necessary Action (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement) in connection with the subject matter of this notice.
 
Should the Company or the Removed Person fail to timely provide the acknowledgement referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, or thereafter fail to timely take any of the other actions contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph, FF Top will take further action to enforce its rights.

RE: Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designee
 
Reference is made to (i) the Shareholder Agreement, dated July 21, 2021 (the “Shareholder Agreement”), by and between Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) and FF Top Holding LLC (“FF Top”) and (ii) the Notice of Removal of FF Top Designee (the “Removal Notice”) delivered by FF Top to the Company on June 22, 2022.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have their respective meanings set forth in the Shareholder Agreement.
 
As you are aware, FF Top has pursuant to the Removal Notice exercised its right to remove Mr. Brian Krolicki (the “Removed Person”)  from the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).
 
 Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement requires, among other things, that “[i]n the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the…removal…of any FF Top Designee or for any other reason, any individual nominated by or at the direction of the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to fill such vacancy shall be, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such vacancy to be filled, as soon as possible, by a new nominee of FF Top who qualifies as an FF Top Designee, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any time and from time to time,  all Necessary Actions to accomplish the same.”
 
Pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, FF Top hereby nominates Ms. Li Han (the “Nominee”) to the Board as replacement FF Top Designee for the Removed Person.  Enclosed herewith is a director questionnaire, in the form provided by the Company to its officers and directors earlier this year, that has been duly completed by the Nominee and reflects that the Nominee is “independent” under applicable Nasdaq rules.

2

FF Top expects the Board to promptly fulfill its obligations in respect of this matter, including by promptly (and in any event no later than noon, Pacific time, on June 27, 2022) appointing the Nominee to the Board (and disclosing such appointment under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K within four business days of the date of such appointment).
 
Should the Company fail to so act, FF Top will take further action to enforce its rights.
