Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 20 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
 
Item 2.
Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a), (b), (c) and (f).

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by FF Global Partners Investment LLC (“FF Investment,” formerly known as FF Top Holding LLC or “FF Top”), Pacific Technology Holding LLC (“Pacific Technology”) and FF Global Partners LLC (“FF Global”), each a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

References to FF Top in the Original 13D shall be deemed to refer to FF Investment, unless specifically noted otherwise in this Schedule 13D or any amendment subsequent hereto.

Pacific Technology is the managing member of FF Investment, and FF Global is the managing member of Pacific Technology.  FF Global is governed by a board of managers, consisting of 5 managers – Mr. Jiawei Wang, Mr. Chui Tin Mok, Mr. Prashant Gulati, Ms. Chaoying Deng and Mr. Yueting Jia. A majority of the board of managers of FF Global is required to approve certain material actions of FF Global, including actions relating to the voting and disposition of shares of Common Stock by FF Investment.

The principal office and business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, California 90248.

(d) and (e). During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

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

“On March 14, 2023, Ms. Li Han, Mr. Jie Sheng, and Mr. Chad Chen  were confirmed by the Issuer’s selection committee as the remaining three of FF Investment’s designated candidates for election to the Board for the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2023 AGM”), following their nomination by FF Top in accordance with the Heads of Agreement, as amended by the Amended Shareholder Agreement.

Also on March 14, 2023, the Board, following a recommendation by FF Investment, appointed Ms. Han to fill the vacancy on the Board created by the resignation of Mr. Mathias Aydt.

The Reporting Persons continue to have discussions with the Issuer with respect to, among other matters, potential financing options for the Issuer, as well as the potential terms and conditions on which Reporting Persons would be willing to consider participating in or otherwise supporting various Issuer financing options.  Whether any financing(s) occur (and if so, the timing, terms and conditions on which any such financing(s) occur, and whether Reporting Persons participate in or support such financing(s)) remains uncertain and subject to change.”
