THE REMOVAL PROPOSAL
Background
Communications with FF Top
Mr. Krolicki is an independent director and member of the Board’s Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. He is one of the four directors designated to the Board by FF Top pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement. Mr. Krolicki served as chairman of the Board from July 22, 2021 until January 31, 2022, on which date he stepped down from the position of chairman in connection with remediation actions pursuant to the investigation by a special committee of the Board referenced in the Company’s previous SEC filings (the “Special Committee Investigation”). Prior to his appointment to the Board, Mr. Krolicki served as an independent director at FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd., which is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
From February 1, 2022 to June 20, 2022, FF Top and the Company exchanged various letters in response to concerns raised by FF Top as to the actions taken by the Board following completion of the Special Committee Investigation. In addition to questioning the actions of the Board, in the letters, FF Top (among other things) made demands for both the prompt calling of an annual meeting of stockholders and the provision of books and records of the Company.
On June 22, 2022, the Company received a letter from FF Top, purporting to exercise its rights under the Shareholder Agreement to remove Mr. Krolicki from the Board. The June 22 letter also requested that the Company investigate Mr. Krolicki’s past performance as a member of the Board. Also on June 22, 2022, Matthias Aydt, a current member of the Board and director and executive officer of the Company and then a member of the management committee of FF Global Partners LLC (“FF Global”), the parent company of FF Top, after a discussion with management of FF Global, relayed to Mr. Krolicki that FF Global would pay Mr. Krolicki up to $700,000, offset by the amount of any severance payments made by the Company, if Mr. Krolicki resigned from the Board. This offer was rejected by Mr. Krolicki. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company is evaluating whether to take additional action in connection with this matter.
On June 23, 2022, the Company received another letter from FF Top, purporting to nominate Li Han to the Board as a replacement for Mr. Krolicki. While not addressed in FF Top’s June 23 letter, the Company understands that Ms. Han was a partner at an outside law firm and, in that role, previously served as legal counsel to the Company, FF Global and Yueting (YT) Jia, a member of the executive committee of FF Global and the Company’s founder and current Chief Product & User Ecosystem Officer. FF Global controls all actions relating to the voting and disposition of shares of FF Common Stock held by FF Top. As the Company communicated to FF Top, the Company has concerns about Ms. Han's qualifications to serve as a replacement for Mr. Krolicki. Any director replacing Mr. Krolicki is, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, subject to the prior and reasonable approval of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
On June 24, 2022, in response to the June 22 letter, the Company delivered a letter to FF Top, rejecting its demand to remove Mr. Krolicki from the Board on the basis that the attempted removal violates both the Shareholder Agreement and Delaware law and is therefore ineffective.
On June 27, 2022, the Company received a letter from FF Top’s legal counsel, asserting that the Company’s rejection of FF Top’s June 22 demand to remove Mr. Krolicki from the Board constitutes a material breach of the Shareholder Agreement. The June 27 letter demanded that the Company immediately ask Mr. Krolicki to resign and that the Company prepare to call a special meeting of stockholders to remove Mr. Krolicki. Also on June 27, 2022, a majority of the Board (with five directors voting in favor, three directors opposed and one director abstaining) approved convening a special meeting of stockholders to determine whether to remove Mr. Krolicki.
On June 28, 2022, the Company received an email from FF Global, demanding that the Company call a special meeting of stockholders to determine whether to remove Mr. Krolicki from the Board.
On July 1, 2022, the Company delivered a second letter to FF Top, rejecting FF Top's allegations that the Company is in breach of the Shareholder Agreement and stating that the Company will not be investigating Mr. Krolicki’s past performance on the Board because FF Top has not provided the Company with any credible basis for conducting such an investigation. The letter noted that Mr. Krolicki is an independent director who has consistently attended and actively participated in Board meetings.
On July 5, 2022, the Company received another letter from FF Top, threatening to take legal action against the Company if the Company did not announce the Special Meeting by July 7, 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On July 6, 2022, the Company received a non-binding proposal from FF Top for a transaction that would involve FF Top, along with other parties, providing the Company with financing in the form of senior secured convertible notes. The terms of the proposal required (but no longer expressly require) certain corporate governance changes, including Mr. Krolicki’s resignation from the Board. From July 6 through August 8, 2022, the Company and FF Top have been engaged in negotiations with respect to FF Top’s proposal. Also on July 6, 2022, the Board determined to suspend any preparation for the Special Meeting, pending financing discussions with FF Top and other potential investors.
On July 7, 2022, in response to FF Top's July 5 letter, the Company delivered a letter to FF Top, reiterating the legal positions set forth in the Company’s June 24 and July 1 letters, expressing disagreement with FF Top's interpretation of the Shareholder Agreement in FF Top's June 27 and July 5 letters, and stating that the Board is evaluating both the financing proposal in the July 6 letter and the possibility of holding the Special Meeting.
On July 8, 2022, the Company received an email from FF Top's legal counsel reiterating FF Top's desire for Mr. Krolicki to resign from the Board or for the Company to promptly call the Special Meeting to remove Mr. Krolicki, and making a number of demands with respect to the Special Meeting.
Also on July 8, 2022, representatives of the Company contacted representatives of FF Top to discuss whether FF Top would consider identifying an alternative candidate to Ms. Han as a replacement for Mr. Krolicki in the event Mr. Krolicki were to resign or be removed from the Board, given the concerns about Ms. Han's qualifications to serve as a director.
On July 19, 2022, the Company received an email from FF Global, threatening to file a lawsuit against the Company unless a special meeting of stockholders regarding the removal of Mr. Krolicki was announced immediately.
On July 25, 2022, FF Top sent the Company an email stating that FF Top would “initiate legal proceedings” on July 26, 2022 unless Mr. Krolicki resigned from the Board or the Company publicly announced a special meeting of stockholders to determine whether to remove Mr. Krolicki, along with other demands. From July 25, 2022 to August 8, 2022, representatives of FF Top and the Company engaged in various negotiations regarding the threatened litigation and the proposed financing; these negotiations included the execution, on July 31, 2022, of a financing term sheet, which is non-binding except for limited exclusivity and expense reimbursement provisions.
On July 26, 2022, FF Top again threatened to sue regarding the removal of Mr. Krolicki, but extended the deadline in its July 25 letter to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 29, 2022. Also on July 26, 2022, the Company received an email from FF Top, identifying Adam He as a potential alternative to Ms. Han to replace Mr. Krolicki.
On July 31, 2022, the Board approved resuming preparation for the Special Meeting.
Shareholder Agreement
Under the Shareholder Agreement, FF Top is entitled to nominate a number of directors based on its voting power with respect to the outstanding FF Common Stock, initially entitling FF Top to nominate four out of nine directors to the Board. Based on FF Top having voting power over [•]% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock as of [•], 2022, FF Top currently has the right to nominate four out of nine directors on the Board. Susan G. Swenson, Edwin Goh, Brian K. Krolicki and Lee Liu are the four FF Top director designees under the Shareholder Agreement. FF Top also has the right for its nominees to serve on each committee of the Board proportionate to the number of nominees it has on the Board, subject to compliance with applicable law and stock exchange listing rules. In the event of a removal or resignation of any FF Top designee to the Board, FF Top has the exclusive right under the Shareholder Agreement to nominate a replacement designee to fill the vacancy created by any such removal or resignation, subject to the prior and reasonable approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as described in more detail in “Proposal” below.
Under the Shareholder Agreement, the Company and FF Top also agreed (a) to take all reasonably necessary action (subject to applicable Board fiduciary duties and subject to the approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee) to cause each of the current Board members (including Mr. Krolicki) to be nominated for another one-year term at the 2022 Annual Meeting and (b) that Susan G. Swenson, Edwin Goh, Brian K. Krolicki and Lee Liu are deemed the FF Top designees for both the 2022 Annual Meeting and 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) absent their earlier resignation (which agreements would still exist under the Shareholder Agreement if the Removal Proposal is approved and the Company does not obtain a waiver from
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

FF Top and the Company’s directors who are third party beneficiaries under the Shareholder Agreement). Absent obtaining a waiver from FF Top and the third party beneficiaries of the Shareholder Agreement, which include all of the Company’s directors, the Company is obligated under the Shareholder Agreement to renominate Mr. Krolicki for re-election to the Board at the 2022 Annual Meeting.
The Company's position is that FF Top is required to vote against the Removal Proposal under the Shareholder Agreement. FF Top disputes this position, as discussed below.
Disputes with FF Top
FF Top disputes several of the matters discussed above. FF Top believes that it has the right to remove and replace Mr. Krolicki as a director pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement and that the Company is obligated to recommend in favor of the Removal Proposal. FF Top disagrees that it is required to vote against the Removal Proposal. FF Top also disagrees that the Company will be obligated under the Shareholder Agreement to renominate Mr. Krolicki at the 2022 Annual Meeting or 2023 Annual Meeting even if he is removed pursuant to the Special Meeting.
There have been numerous discussions and negotiations between representatives of FF Top, the Company, and Mr. Krolicki seeking to resolve these disputes, including the negotiation of a potential resignation by Mr. Krolicki and the terms thereof. Such disputes have not been resolved as of the date hereof, and if such disputes are not resolved, it is possible that these disputes may result in litigation.
Proposal
Due to FF Top’s indicated intent to remove Mr. Krolicki from the Board, a majority of the Board (with five directors voting in favor, three directors opposed and one director abstaining) has determined to put to a stockholder vote whether to remove Brian K. Krolicki from the Board. The Company maintains the position that FF Top does not have the right to unilaterally remove Mr. Krolicki from the Board at this time. If the Removal Proposal is approved by the Company’s stockholders, Mr. Krolicki will be removed from the Board and from each committee of the Board on which he currently serves, effective immediately.
If Mr. Krolicki is removed, FF Top will have an exclusive right to nominate a replacement designee to the Board. However, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, the replacement designee will be subject to the reasonable approval by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, and the four FF Top designees in total must include a sufficient number of individuals who are independent directors, such that the Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors.
As described above, FF Top has nominated Ms. Han to serve as the replacement FF Top designated director for Mr. Krolicki. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is evaluating Ms. Han's qualifications to serve as a replacement for Mr. Krolicki. If the Board determines that Li Han does not qualify as an independent director, Ms. Han may not be a permissible replacement for Mr. Krolicki under the Shareholder Agreement because there would be insufficient independent directors under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market upon her appointment to the Board. In that case, or if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee otherwise disapproves of Ms. Han’s candidacy, FF Top will be entitled to nominate another replacement designee under the Shareholder Agreement. FF Top has identified Adam He as a potential alternative candidate to replace Mr. Krolicki.
Voting Requirements
The Company’s Charter and Bylaws require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company with the power to vote at an election of directors to approve the Removal Proposal.
Recommendation
THE BOARD MAKES NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REMOVAL PROPOSAL.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2022 ANNUAL MEETING
In order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our Corporate Secretary must receive the proposal no later than [•], 2022. Such proposals must be sent via registered, certified, or express mail (or other means that allows the stockholder to determine when the proposal was received) to: Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, California 90248. Such proposals must comply with the SEC’s requirements in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in Company-sponsored proxy materials, such as the requirement that the stockholder continues to own a minimum number of shares until the 2022 Annual Meeting and appear in person or through an authorized representative at the 2022 Annual Meeting to present the proposal.
Alternatively, stockholders intending to put forth a director nomination or a stockholder proposal not pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws require, among other things, that our Corporate Secretary receive written notice with respect to each director nomination or other proposal that the stockholder intends to present at the 2022 Annual Meeting from the stockholder no later than the close of business on [•], 2022. The notice must contain the information required by our Bylaws. In order for stockholders to give timely notice of director nominations for directors, other than those nominated by the Company, for inclusion on a universal proxy card in connection with the 2022 Annual Meeting, notice must be submitted no later than [•], 2022 and include all of the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.
Proposals received by the Corporate Secretary after the dates mentioned will not be included in the proxy statement or acted upon at the 2022 Annual Meeting.
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 entire expense of soliciting proxies, including preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the Proxy Statement and the materials used in the solicitation of proxies, will be paid by the Company. Solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of electronic communication by our directors, officers and other employees, and none of those persons will receive any additional compensation in connection with the solicitation.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
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.
