EXPLANATORY NOTE

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders may sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

103,348,727 Shares of Class A Common Stock

Up to 12,156,174 Shares of Class A Common Stock

Issuable Upon Conversion of the SPA Notes

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”) of 103,348,727 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that were issued upon conversion of certain convertible notes issued in a private placement to certain institutional investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2022, as amended from time to time (the “SPA”) (such convertible notes issued or issuable under the SPA being referred to herein as the “SPA Notes”).

This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us, and the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders of up to an aggregate of 12,156,174 shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of SPA Notes. See the sections of this prospectus entitled “Information Related to Offered Securities” and “Description of Securities” for additional details regarding the securities to which this prospectus relates and the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” for additional information regarding the Selling Stockholders.

We are registering the securities for resale pursuant to the Selling Stockholders’ registration rights under certain agreements between us and the Selling Stockholders. Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell any of the shares of Class A Common Stock. The Selling Stockholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of their shares of Class A Common Stock in a number of different ways and at varying prices, including publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. We provide more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell the shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the public market, including the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144, could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of the Class A Common Stock and make it more difficult for you to sell your holdings at times and prices that you determine are appropriate. Furthermore, we expect that, because there is a large number of shares being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the Selling Stockholders will continue to offer the securities covered thereby pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144 for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from an offering pursuant to the registration statement may continue for an extended period of time.

Our shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “FFIE.” On June 27, 2023, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock was $0.2371 per share.

The shares of Class A Common Stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus are shares of Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, the Company conducts its operations through its operating subsidiaries. We currently have a majority of our operations in the U.S. conducted through our U.S.-domiciled operating subsidiaries. We also operate our business in the People’s Republic of China and plan to have significant operations in the future in both Mainland China and Hong Kong (together, “PRC” or “China”) through our subsidiaries organized in the PRC (collectively, the “PRC Subsidiaries”). Investors in our Class A Common Stock should be aware that they are purchasing equity solely in the Company, a Delaware holding company. There are various risks associated with our current operating presence in China and the potential expansion of our operations in China (including Hong Kong), which is subject to political and economic influence from China. Recently, the Chinese government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies that seek to conduct offshore securities offerings or be listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation-making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our business operations, our ability to accept foreign investments and to maintain the Company’s listing on a U.S. exchange. The Chinese government may intervene or influence the operations of our PRC Subsidiaries, or at any time exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers in accordance with PRC laws and regulations, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or a material reduction in the value of our Class A Common Stock. Additionally, the governmental and regulatory interference could significantly limit or completely hinder our and the Selling Stockholders’ ability to offer or continue to offer our shares of Class A Common Stock to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. For a detailed description of risks related to our PRC operations, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to FF’s Operations in China” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference herein. See “Where You Can Find More Information.” 

We are an “emerging growth company” under federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risks. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus and any risk factors described in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein to read about factors you should consider before buying our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is          , 2023.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may contain forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of the date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, among others, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Company’s Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to buy shares of Class A Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with a specific offering. See “Where You Can Find More Information.” These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to this Offering

If certain holders of the Class A Common Stock sell a significant portion of their securities, it may negatively impact the market price of the shares of the Class A Common Stock and such holders still may receive significant proceeds.

As of June 19, 2023, the market price of the Company’s Common Stock is below $10.00 per share, which was the price per unit sold in the initial public offering of the Company’s predecessor, PSAC, the per-share price of the 27,733,421 shares of PSAC common stock PSAC sold to certain investors in connection with the Business Combination in a private placement for an aggregate amount of $761.4 million and also the per-share value of the consideration issued to Legacy FF stockholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, certain of the Company’s stockholders who hold shares of the Class A Common Stock that were (i) originally purchased by the sponsor of PSAC in a private placement prior to PSAC’s initial public offering (the “Founder Shares”) or (ii) originally issued by PSAC to the designees of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. as underwriter’s compensation in connection with PSAC’s initial public offering (the “Representative Shares”) may nonetheless be inclined to sell such Founder Shares or Representative Shares as they were originally purchased at an effective price significantly less than $10.00 per share. The currently outstanding 213,366 Founder Shares, representing 0.02% of Class A Common Stock as of June 19, 2023, were purchased at an effective price of $0.0043 per share and the currently 170,131 outstanding Representative Shares, representing 0.01% of Class A Common Stock as of June 19, 2023, were purchased at an effective price of $0.0041 per share. Accordingly, holders of the Founder Shares and Representative Shares could sell their securities at a per-share price that is less than $10.00 and still realize a significant profit from the sale of those securities that could not be realized by the Company’s other stockholders. On June 19, 2023, the closing price of Class A Common Stock was $0.4498 per share. Based on this closing price, the aggregate sales price of the Founder Shares would be approximately $0.0960 million and the aggregate sales price of the Representative Shares would be approximately $0.0765 million. As such, holders of Founder Shares and Representative Shares may realize a positive rate of return on the sale of their shares of Class A Common Stock based on the current trading price of Class A Common Stock and the effective purchase price for such shares. However, public securityholders may not experience a similar positive rate of return due to the differences in their purchase price and the current trading price of shares of Class A Common Stock.

If the Company implements a reverse stock split, then the liquidity of the Common Stock and warrants may be adversely effected.

On June 16, 2023, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement for a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders are expected to vote on (among other proposals) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock by a ratio of any whole number in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-90, with no reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, with such ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Board and with such action to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board within one year after the conclusion of such special meeting of stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”).

Assuming the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved at the Special Meeting, the Company may decide to implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On October 31, 2022, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq stating that it was not in compliance with the Nasdaq requirement for the bid price for Class A Common Stock to be at least $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On April 5, 2023, the Company applied to transfer the listing of its Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. On April 21, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that its application was approved. Effective as of market open on April 25, 2023, the Company’s Common Stock and warrants commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. On May 2, 2023, the Company was notified that it would have an additional 180-calendar day period (i.e., until October 30, 2023) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In connection with the Company’s application to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company notified Nasdaq of its intention to cure the non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the additional compliance period, if necessary by effecting a reverse stock split.

However, the Company cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will be implemented by the Board or that such reverse stock split, if implemented, will be sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its Nasdaq listing. Additionally, if a reverse stock split is implemented, there can be no assurance that the market price per new share of the Company’s Common Stock after the reverse stock split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. The liquidity of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants may be affected adversely by any reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.

Following any reverse stock split, the resulting market price of the Company’s Common Stock may not attract new investors and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Although the Company believes that a higher market price of its Common Stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Company’s Common Stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the Class A Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholders for their respective accounts. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions incurred by such Selling Stockholders in disposing of their Class A Common Stock. The Company will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of counsel and independent registered public accountants.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

We cannot currently determine the price or prices at which shares of Class A Common Stock may be sold by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus, as the price will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of the Class A Common Stock, by negotiations between the Selling Stockholders and the buyers of the Class A Common Stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to (i) the resale by the Selling Stockholders from time to time of up to 103,348,727 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the issuance by us, and the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders, of up to an aggregate of 12,156,174 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of SPA Notes. The Selling Stockholders listed in the table below may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of Class A Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus, we refer to the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees that hold any of the Selling Stockholders’ interest in the shares of Class A Common Stock after the date of this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information provided by or on behalf of each Selling Stockholder as of June 19, 2023 regarding the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants or conversion of the SPA Notes) beneficially owned prior to the offering, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of SPA Warrants or conversion of SPA Notes) that may be offered from time to time by each Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of SPA Warrants or conversion of SPA Notes), and percentage ownership of, each Selling Stockholder after the sale of securities offered hereby. The beneficial ownership percentages following the offering set forth in the table below are based on 1,391,495,688 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 19, 2023 (including, for this purpose, 64,000,588 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock held by FF Global Partners Investment LLC, formerly FF Top Holding LLC (“FF Top”), all as issued and outstanding shares as of June 19, 2023), do not take into account the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase up to 131,108,398 shares of Class A Common Stock that remain outstanding, the exercise of any of the 36,508,196 outstanding options and vesting of 18,655,418 unvested RSUs (both as of June 19, 2023), or the conversion of any of the outstanding convertible notes and have assumed that each Selling Stockholder will sell all shares of Class A Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus. In calculating percentages of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by a particular Selling Stockholder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to that particular Selling Stockholder upon (i) exercise of that particular Selling Stockholder’s SPA Warrants (if any) that are currently exercisable or may be exercised within 60 days of June 19, 2023, and (ii) conversion of that particular Selling Stockholder’s SPA Notes (if any) that are currently convertible or may be converted within 60 days of June 19, 2023, and we did not assume the exercise or conversion of any other Selling Stockholder’s SPA Warrants or SPA Notes, as the case may be, in calculating the percentage ownership of any other Selling Stockholder.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares of Class A Common Stock. A Selling Stockholder may sell all, some or none of such securities in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” In particular, the Selling Stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their securities after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their securities. Any changed or new information given to us by the Selling Stockholders, including regarding the identity of, and the securities held by, each Selling Stockholder, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if and when necessary.

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed in the table below is c/o Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, California 90248.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to our Amended and Restated Charter, our Amended and Restated Bylaws and the warrant-related documents described herein, which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We urge to you read each of the Amended and Restated Charter, the Amended and Restated Bylaws and the warrant-related documents described herein in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities.

General

The Amended and Restated Charter, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,775,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock consisting of 1,690,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 75,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

As of June 19, 2023, there were outstanding 1,327,495,100 shares of Class A Common Stock, 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock, one share of Preferred Stock, 23,540,988 Public Warrants, 111,131 Private Warrants, 29,454,593 Ares NPA Warrants, 99,764,702 SPA Warrants and 7,691,577 Unsecured SPA Warrants.

Common Stock

As of the date of this prospectus, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Pursuant to the Amended Shareholder Agreement entered into between the Company and FF Top on January 13, 2023, FF Top informed the Company that it expects the Company will submit a proposal to the Company’s stockholders for approval to amend the Amended and Restated Charter to provide that (i) the voting power of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, of which FF Global owns all outstanding shares, will be 10 votes per share and (ii) the voting power of the Company’s Class B Common Stock will increase from 10 votes per share to 20 votes per share following the occurrence of a Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization.

A “Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization” means FF, at the end of any 20 consecutive trading days, has a volume-weighted average total equity market capitalization of at least $3.0 billion as determined by multiplying the average closing sale price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq (or such other securities exchange on which PSAC’s securities are then listed for trading) at the time of determination by the then total number of issued shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and other shares of the Company.

Until such proposal is approved and the Amended and Restated Charter is amended accordingly, the holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record, and a $20.0 billion equity market capitalization would be required to increase the voting power of the Class B Common Stock to 10 votes per share.

Shares of Class B Common Stock have the right to convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at any time at the rate of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock. Class A Common Stock does not have the right to convert into Class B Common Stock.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the voting power represented by shares of Common Stock voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Holders of Common Stock will not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

As of June 19, 2023, FF has one share of Preferred Stock outstanding. The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board. The Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue the Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock; provided that any issuance of Preferred Stock with more than one vote per share will require the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. In addition, the Preferred Stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of FF.

Series A Preferred Stock

On June 16, 2023, in connection with a purchase agreement entered into with Xuefeng Chen, the Company’s Global Chief Executive Officer, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series A Certificate of Designation designates one share of the Company’s Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred, and establishes and designates the preferences, rights and limitations thereof. The Series A Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing.

The share of Series A Preferred is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The share of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

The holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 60,000,000,000 votes for each share held of record, but has the right to vote only on any reverse stock split proposal and until such time as a reverse stock split proposal is approved by the stockholders, and will have no voting rights except (i) with respect to a reverse stock split proposal in which its votes are cast for and against such reverse stock split proposal in the same proportion as shares of Common Stock are voted for and against such reverse stock split proposal (with any shares of Common Stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise not counted as votes for or against the reverse stock split proposal ) and (ii) unless the holders of one-third (1/3rd) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting of stockholders at which a reverse stock split proposal is submitted for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof). The share of Series A Preferred will vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on any reverse stock split proposal. The Series A Preferred has no other voting rights, except as may be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to which assets of the Company or consideration received by the Company are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of Series A Preferred will be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $100.00.

The Series A Preferred may not be transferred at any time prior to stockholder approval of a reverse stock split without the prior written consent of the Board.

The outstanding share of Series A Preferred will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, for a redemption price of $100.00, payable out of funds lawfully available therefor, (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a reverse stock split.

Authorized but Unissued Preferred Stock

Our authorized but unissued Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Description of Warrants

Public Warrants and Private Warrants

As of June 19, 2023, FF has Public Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 23,540,988 shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 111,131 shares of Class A Common Stock. References in this “–Public Warrants and Private Warrants” subsection to “Warrant” or “Warrants” refer only to the Public Warrants and Private Warrants. Each outstanding whole Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the consummation of a business combination and 12 months from the closing of the initial public offering.

No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless there is an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of the Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when FF shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis. In the event of such cashless exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of Class A Common Stock for the five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise. The Warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Private Warrants, as well as any Warrants underlying additional units issued to Property Solutions Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “PSAC Sponsor”) or PSAC’s officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans, are identical to the Warrants underlying the units offered in the initial public offering except that such Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by FF, in each case so long as they are still held by the PSAC Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

FF may call the Warrants for redemption (excluding the Private Warrants and any Warrants underlying additional units issued to the PSAC Sponsor, PSAC’s officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans made to PSAC), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant,

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a Warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s Warrant upon surrender of such Warrant.

If FF calls the Warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of Class A Common Stock for the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or FF’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A Common Stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their Warrants such that an electing Warrant holder would not be able to exercise their Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, FF will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

NPA Warrants and Notes

The ATW NPA Existing Warrant exercise price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon (among other triggering events) the occurrence of a change of control transaction and certain dilutive transactions, including subsequent equity sales, share dividends and splits occurring following the issuance of the applicable ATW NPA Existing Warrant. The ATW Warrant Holders may also exercise the ATW NPA Existing Warrants on a cashless (or “net exercise”) basis. Any adjustments to the ATW NPA Existing Warrant exercise price are capped such that the ATW New Warrant Holders are not entitled to exercise the ATW NPA Existing Warrants to the extent such exercise would result in the ATW Warrant Holders holding shares in excess of 4.99% of the fully diluted capitalization of the Company.

In August 2021, in connection with the issuance of certain Notes (defined below), the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 5,191,704 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “ATW NPA New Warrants”) to FF Ventures SPV IX LLC, FF Venturas SPV X LLC and FF Aventuras SPV XI LLC (collectively, the “ATW New Warrant Holders”), entities affiliated with ATW Partners, LLC, pursuant to the terms of the NPA. The issuance by us of 5,191,704 shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the ATW NPA New Warrants in accordance with their terms is included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Each ATW NPA New Warrant entitles the ATW New Warrant Holder, at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 9, 2028, to purchase a certain number of shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share of $10.00, subject to adjustment. The ATW NPA New Warrant exercise price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon (among other triggering events) the occurrence of a change of control transaction and certain dilutive transactions, including subsequent equity sales, share dividends and splits occurring following the issuance of the applicable ATW NPA New Warrant. The ATW New Warrant Holders may also exercise the ATW NPA New Warrants on a cashless (or “net exercise”) basis. Any adjustments to the ATW NPA New Warrant exercise price are capped such that the ATW New Warrant Holders are not entitled to exercise the ATW NPA New Warrants to the extent such exercise would result in the ATW Warrant Holders holding shares in excess of 4.99% of the fully diluted capitalization of the Company.

On June 9, 2021, pursuant to the NPA, the Company issued a promissory note (the “ATW June 8% Note”) in favor of FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC, a third party investment firm affiliated with ATW Partners, LLC, for an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, receiving net proceeds of $18.4 million, inclusive of an 8% original issue discount. Prior to the ATW NPA Notes Amendment described below, the promissory note matured on December 9, 2022, subject to the right of FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC to extend the maturity date to December 9, 2023. The promissory note bears interest at 0% per annum through and including December 9, 2022. In the event that FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC extends the maturity date, the promissory note bears interest at 10% per annum from December 10, 2022 until December 9, 2023. At the election of the holder of the ATW June 8% Note, the principal amount converts into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 130% of the outstanding principal amount divided by the applicable conversion price. Pursuant to the NPA (as amended by the ATW NPA Notes Amendment described below), upon purchasing the ATW June 8% Note, FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC became entitled to purchase from the Company, at its option, at any time prior to July 20, 2023, an additional promissory note (the “ATW Optional 8% Note”) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million with an original issue discount of 8%. At the election of the holder of the ATW 8% Optional Note, the principal amount would be convertible into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 130% of the outstanding principal amount divided by the applicable conversion price. In addition, pursuant to the NPA, if FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC elected to purchase the ATW Optional 8% Note, it would be entitled to receive from the Company a warrant (the “ATW Optional 8% Warrant”) to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company equal to 37.5% of the principal amount of the ATW Optional 8% Note divided by the applicable exercise price.

On June 9, 2021, pursuant to the NPA, the Company issued a promissory note (the “ATW June 13% Note,” and together with the ATW June 8% Note, the “ATW June Notes”) in favor of FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC, a third party investment firm affiliated with ATW Partners, LLC, for an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, receiving net proceeds of $17.4 million, inclusive of a 13% original issue discount. Prior to the ATW NPA Notes Amendment described below, the promissory note matured on December 9, 2022, subject to the right of FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC to extend the maturity date to December 9, 2023.

In the event that FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC extends the maturity date, the promissory note bears interest at 10% per annum from December 10, 2022 until December 9, 2023. At the election of the holder of the ATW June 13% Note, the principal amount is convertible into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount divided by the applicable conversion price. Pursuant to the NPA (as amended by the ATW NPA Notes Amendment described below), upon purchasing the ATW June 13% Note, FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC became entitled to purchase from the Company, at its option, at any time prior to July 20, 2023, an additional promissory note (the “ATW Optional 13% Note”, and together with the ATW 8% Optional Note, the “ATW Optional Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million with an original issue discount of 13%. At the election of holder of the ATW Optional 13% Note, the principal amount would be convertible into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount divided by the applicable conversion price. In addition, pursuant to the NPA, if FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC elected to purchase the ATW Optional 13% Note, it would be entitled to receive from the Company a warrant (the “ATW Optional 13% Warrant,” and together with the ATW Optional 8% Warrant, the “ATW Optional Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company equal to 37.5% of the principal amount of the ATW Optional 13% Note divided by the applicable exercise price.

On August 10, 2021, pursuant to the NPA, the Company issued a promissory note in favor of FF Ventures SPV IX LLC, a third party investment firm affiliated with ATW Partners, LLC, for an aggregate principal amount of $15.7 million. Prior to the ATW NPA Notes Amendment described below, the promissory note matured on February 10, 2023 and bears interest at 0% per annum.

The foregoing promissory notes issued under the NPA to entities affiliated with ATW Partners, LLC are referred to collectively throughout this prospectus as the “ATW NPA Notes.”

On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to amend the terms of all the ATW NPA Notes (the “ATW NPA Notes Amendment”), extending the maturity of all such Notes to October 31, 2026, except that the accrual of interest is not deferred and accrues on the ATW NPA Notes at 10% following February 10, 2023. The conversion price of each of the ATW NPA Notes was adjusted to equal the lesser of (x) $10.00, (y) 95% of the per share daily VWAP of the Class A Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date, and (z) the lowest effective price per share of Class A Common Stock (or equivalents) issued or issuable by the Company in any financing of debt or equity after July 26, 2022, subject to possible adjustment as set forth therein (the “Set Price”). However, from July 26, 2022 to December 30, 2022, the conversion price of each of the ATW NPA Notes is equal to the lesser of (i) the Set Price, and (ii) 92% of the lowest of the VWAPs during the seven (7) trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date. The ATW NPA Notes Amendment added a “forced conversion” feature to each of the ATW NPA Notes that allows the Company, on or after December 31, 2022, to cause the conversion of all or part of, in the aggregate among all of the ATW NPA Notes, up to $35.0 million principal amount of the ATW NPA Notes less any principal amount of the ATW NPA Notes voluntarily converted by the holder thereof after July 26, 2022, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the ATW NPA Notes Amendment. The conversion price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon (among other triggering events) the occurrence of a change of control transaction and certain dilutive transactions, including subsequent equity issuances, share dividends and splits occurring following the issuance of the ATW NPA Notes.

On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with FF Aventuras SPV XI LLC, FF Venturas SPV X LLC, FF Ventures SPV IX LLC and FF Adventures SPV XVIII LLC, entities affiliated with ATW Partners, LLC and holders (the “Holders”) of the ATW NPA Notes, pursuant to which, on October 10, 2022, the Holders exchanged $4,012,180 in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding ATW NPA Notes for 6,269,031 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, reflecting a price per share of Class A Common Stock of $0.64.

On October 19, 2022, the Company and the Holders entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which, on October 19, 2022, the Holders exchanged $2,687,109 in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding ATW NPA Notes for 5,227,837 newly issued shares of the Class A Common Stock, reflecting a price per share of Class A Common Stock of $0.514. Following the completion of such exchange, there were no outstanding ATW NPA Notes.

SPA Warrants and SPA Notes

On August 14, 2022, the Company entered into the SPA with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC (“FF Simplicity”), an affiliate of ATW Partners LLC, as administrative and collateral agent, and certain purchasers including FF Simplicity and RAAJJ Trading LLC (“RAAJJ”) (collectively with additional purchasers from time to time party thereto, the “Purchasers”), to issue and sell: (i) $27.0 million aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes; (ii) $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes on the 20th business day following the closing of the initial $27.0 million funding, subject to certain closing conditions; and (iii) $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes (collectively, the “Bridge Notes”) on or prior to October 11, 2022, subject to certain closing conditions. Under the SPA (as amended by the First Amendment, as described below), the Company was permitted to offer incremental SPA Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $243.0 million within 90 days after the first closing under the SPA (the “Incremental Notes”). The Bridge Notes and Incremental Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at various conversion prices between $0.2275 and $1.05 (amended to $0.8925 pursuant to the Eighth Amendment, as described below) per share, plus an interest make-whole amount as set forth in the SPA Notes, subject to customary adjustments, including full ratchet anti-dilution price protection (provided that, pursuant to the Eighth Amendment, the effective conversion price for any such interest make-whole amount payable in shares of Class A Common Stock must not be lower than $0.10, and, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, as described below, any such interest make-whole amount can only be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock if certain price and volume requirements of Class A Common Stock are met). The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes and Incremental Notes are not transferable for six months (amended to three months pursuant to the First Amendment) without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). On August 16, 2022, the Company received $27.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Notes.

The SPA Notes are secured by the grant of a first priority perfected lien upon substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as guaranty by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The SPA Notes mature on October 27, 2028 or earlier under certain conditions set forth in the SPA. The SPA Notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, provided that, subject to certain conditions set forth in the SPA, the Company may elect to pay such interest in shares of Class A Common Stock if the Company also pays the Purchasers an additional cash interest payment equal to 5% per annum. Except in the case of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to the SPA, if any of the SPA Notes are prepaid, repaid, reduced, refinanced, or replaced in whole or in part prior to the October 27, 2028 maturity date, then the Company shall pay to the Purchaser a “Premium Percentage” in an amount ranging from 0% to 10% of the principal amount of such Note(s) determined in accordance with a schedule set forth in the SPA. Pursuant to the SPA, each Purchaser that then owns at least $25.0 million principal amount of SPA Notes (when aggregated with any affiliates of such Purchaser) shall have customary preemptive rights to participate in any future financing by the Company as provided in the SPA.

As a closing condition under the SPA for funding of each of the Bridge Notes, the Company is required to deliver to each of the Purchasers a warrant (a “SPA Warrant” and, together with the Unsecured SPA Warrants, “Warrants”) registered in the name of such Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of such shares issuable to such Purchaser upon conversion of the SPA Note, with an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share, subject to customary full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and other adjustments, and are exercisable for seven years on a cash or cashless basis. The Company may repurchase the SPA Warrants for $0.01 per SPA Warrant share if and to the extent the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock during 20 of out 30 trading days prior to the repurchase is greater than $15.00 per share, subject to certain additional conditions.

In addition, under the SPA, the funding of each of the Bridge Notes is subject to the satisfaction of the following closing conditions: (a) the Company shall have duly honored all conversions and redemptions scheduled to occur or occurring by virtue of one or more Notices of Conversion of the Purchaser pursuant to the SPA Notes, if any, (b) the Company shall have paid all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to a Purchaser in respect of the transaction documents pursuant to the SPA, (c) the Company shall have satisfied the current public information requirements under Rule 144 under the Securities Act on the applicable closing date, or on the applicable closing date there is an effective registration statement pursuant to which the holder is permitted to utilize the prospectus thereunder to resell all of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the SPA, (d) the Company’s shares of Common Stock are trading on a trading market and all of the shares issuable pursuant to the transaction documents under the SPA are listed or quoted for trading on such trading market, and the Company believes such trading will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future, (e) there is a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock for the issuance of all of the shares then issuable pursuant to the transaction documents under the SPA, (f) there is no existing event of default as defined in the SPA and no existing event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, would constitute such an event of default, and (g) the applicable Purchaser is not in possession of any information provided by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, that constitutes, or may constitute, material non-public information. Each Purchaser has the option, from time to time for 12 months after the effective date of the abovementioned registration statement, to purchase additional senior secured convertible notes and SPA Warrants of the Company on the same terms as the Incremental Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed the initial principal amount of the Bridge Notes and Incremental Notes issued to such Purchaser (the “Tranche B Notes”), subject to certain conditions.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to hold a special meeting of stockholders to obtain stockholder approval, as is required by the Nasdaq listing rules, with respect to the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the SPA Notes and exercise of the SPA Warrants being issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the SPA. At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on November 3, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved such issuance under the Nasdaq listing rules.

On September 23, 2022, the SPA was amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to accelerate $15.0 million of their funding obligations, with $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of such notes being funded and issued on September 23, 2022, and the remaining $7.5 million aggregate principal amount being funded and issued on October 11, 2022. The Purchasers also agreed under the First Amendment to purchase an additional $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes upon the filing by the Company of an amendment to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268972), subject to certain closing conditions; however, the commitment to purchase such SPA Notes automatically terminated on October 27, 2022, upon the funding of an initial $10.0 million tranche of SPA Notes to Senyun International Ltd. (“Senyun”), an affiliate of Daguan International Limited, pursuant to the Joinder, as described below.

As a closing condition under the First Amendment for funding of the accelerated funding obligations, the Company is required to deliver to each of the Purchasers a SPA Warrant on the same terms as the SPA Warrants delivered in connection with the funding of Bridge Notes. On September 23, 2022, the Company issued a SPA Warrant to the Purchaser exercisable for 920,074 shares of Class A Common Stock, concurrent with the funding of the $7.5 million accelerated funding commitment, and on October 11, 2022, the Company issued a SPA Warrant to the Purchaser exercisable for 2,357,142 shares of Class A Common Stock, concurrent with the funding of the $7.5 million accelerated funding commitment.

Additionally, the First Amendment removed the 6-month lock-up period that otherwise applied to a certain convertible note previously issued to FF Simplicity, reduced the conversion price of such note to $1.05, reduced the lock-up period that otherwise applied to a certain other convertible note previously issued to FF Simplicity from 6 months to 3 months and similarly reduced the lock-up period that otherwise applied to the SPA Notes issued pursuant to the accelerated funding, and other Incremental Notes, from 6 months to 3 months.

As additional consideration for FF Simplicity entering into the First Amendment in the capacity of administrative and collateral agent, the Company issued to FF Simplicity a warrant to purchase 10 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Adjustment Warrant”). The terms of the Adjustment Warrants are the same as the SPA Warrants described above, except that the Adjustment Warrant (i) has an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share and (ii) does not have the optional repurchase provision described above if stock trades above $15.00 per share. The full ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision in the SPA Warrants held as of the date of the First Amendment by FF Simplicity and RAAJJ Trading LLC was waived in connection with the Adjustment Warrant.

On September 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment Agreement (the “Joinder”) to the SPA, with FF Simplicity as administrative and collateral agent and purchaser, Senyun as purchaser and RAAJJ as purchaser, pursuant to which Senyun agreed to purchase Incremental Notes under the SPA in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million in certain installments. Pursuant to the Joinder, Senyun has all of the same rights and obligations as a Purchaser under the SPA and all documents, instruments and agreements contemplated therein or thereby. In addition to Senyun’s commitment as set forth in the Joinder, the Joinder effectuated certain other amendments to the SPA, including, among other things, permitting the SPA Notes to be funded in accordance with the Joinder.

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the SPA, with FF Simplicity as administrative and collateral agent and purchaser, Senyun as purchaser and RAAJJ as purchaser, pursuant to which the maturity date for the SPA Notes was extended from August 14, 2026 to October 27, 2028 (i.e., the sixth anniversary of the first funding date of Senyun’s purchase of SPA Notes (the “First Senyun Funding Date”)) or such earlier date that the SPA Notes become due and payable pursuant to the SPA (the “Maturity Date Extension”). As a result of the Maturity Date Extension, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the SPA was increased as compared to such number of shares issuable under the SPA prior to the Third Amendment. The Maturity Date Extension increases the interest make-whole amount as set forth in the SPA and the SPA Notes payable upon conversion of the SPA Notes, as the interest make-whole amount includes all interest that would otherwise accrue on the SPA Notes if such SPA Notes were held until the October 27, 2028 maturity date.

As revised under the Third Amendment, Senyun has agreed to acquire SPA Notes from the Company according to the following schedule: (a) $10.0 million in principal amount of SPA Notes on the First Senyun Funding Date; (b) $10.0 million in principal amount of SPA Notes on a date that is no later than the later of (x) 14 business days after the First Senyun Funding Date and (y) the receipt of approval of the Company’s stockholders under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq of the issuance of all of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the SPA Notes and SPA Warrants then issued and issuable to Senyun under the SPA in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Senyun Stockholder Approval”) (which approval was obtained at the special meeting of stockholders held on November 3, 2022); (c) $10.0 million in principal amount of SPA Notes on a date that is no later than 15 business days after the later of (x) the effective date of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268972) (which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 8, 2023) and (y) receipt of the Senyun Stockholder Approval; (d) $10.0 million in principal amount of SPA Notes within 30 business days after the later of (x) the effective date of the above noted Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 8, 2023, and (y) receipt of the Senyun Stockholder Approval; and (e) $20.0 million in principal amount of SPA Notes on a date that is no later than 10 business days after the latest of (x) official delivery of the Company’s FF 91 vehicle to the first batch of bona fide customers, (y) the effective date of the above noted Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 8, 2023, and (z) receipt of the Senyun Stockholder Approval.

In addition, pursuant to the Third Amendment, each Purchaser and FF Simplicity as administrative and collateral agent waived certain defaults and events of default, any breaches of representations or warranties, any breaches of covenants and any other effects, under the SPA and related documents arising from (i) any amounts owed as of the First Senyun Funding Date by the Company or its subsidiaries to their respective trade counterparties, suppliers, vendors or, in each case, other similar counterparties, that remain unpaid after the First Senyun Funding Date, (ii) any reduction in the workforce of the Company or its subsidiaries or any additional reduction in such workforce that occurs after September 23, 2022, and/or (iii) any reasonably foreseeable consequence in respect of any of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii).

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Amendment (“Fourth Amendment”), to the SPA with FF Simplicity as administrative and collateral agent and purchaser, Senyun as purchaser and RAAJJ as purchaser, pursuant to which the parties agreed that (i) in no event will the effective conversion price of any interest or interest make-whole amount payable in shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of SPA Notes issued or issuable under the SPA be lower than $0.21 per share of Class A Common Stock (further amended to $0.10 pursuant to the Eighth Amendment), and (ii) in order for the Company to make payment of any interest or interest make-whole amount in shares of Class A Common Stock, certain price and volume requirements must be met, namely that (x) the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is not less than $0.21 per share on any trading day during the preceding seven trading day period, and (y) the total volume of the Class A Common Stock does not drop below $1.5 million on any trading day during the same period (in each case, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions). On different dates in December 2022, Senyun funded aggregated amounts of $10.0 million in gross proceeds pursuant to the Joinder. The Company received $9.0 million from such funding, net of original issue discount and transaction costs.

On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Amendment (the “Senyun Amendment”) to the SPA with Senyun as purchaser, pursuant to which Senyun paid to the Company the first $4.0 million of its funding commitment under the SPA on January 3, 2023, as well as $2.0 million on January 6, 2023 and $4.0 million on January 18, 2023. In addition to an amount of $60.0 million already committed by Senyun as part of the Joinder, pursuant to the Senyun Amendment, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to Senyun, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (which include agreement by the Company and Senyun on the terms and conditions of the investment), Incremental Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million: (i) $10.0 million in principal amount of additional SPA Notes no later than January 31, 2023; (ii) $10.0 million in principal amount of additional SPA Notes no later than February 28, 2023; and (iii) $10.0 million in principal amount of additional SPA Notes no later than March 15, 2023.

On January 25, 2023, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Amendment No. 5 (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the SPA with Senyun as purchaser, pursuant to which Senyun agreed to purchase $10.0 million in principal amount of additional SPA Notes no later than January 27, 2023, which $10.0 million amount was funded on January 26, 2023. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company also agreed (a) to use commercially reasonable efforts to file an amendment to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268972) no later than January 29, 2023 and to seek effectiveness of such registration statement on or prior to February 10, 2023 (which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 8, 2023); (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to file an additional registration statement on Form S-1 registering the re-sale by Senyun of all remaining shares of Class A Common Stock underlying Senyun’s SPA Notes and SPA Warrants no later than February 10, 2023 (which registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269729) was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023) and to seek effectiveness of such registration statement as promptly as practicable thereafter (which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2023); (c) to honor the conversion notice submitted by Senyun on January 18, 2023, and to reserve sufficient shares of Class A Common Stock to satisfy the conversion and exercise of all of Senyun’s then outstanding SPA Notes and SPA Warrants to the extent the Company has sufficient authorized but unissued or uncommitted shares of Class A Common Stock. Additionally, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company and Senyun agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into definitive documentation as promptly as practicable after the date of the Fifth Amendment, in connection with restructuring of the SPA Notes and SPA Warrants and an additional investment as set forth on the term sheets attached to the Fifth Amendment, which definitive documentation was executed in connection with the Sixth Amendment (as described below).

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 6 to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with FF Simplicity as administrative and collateral agent and purchaser, Senyun as purchaser, FF Prosperity Ventures LLC (“FF Prosperity”) as purchaser and Acuitas Capital, LLC as purchaser, pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to purchase up to $135.0 million (including $10.0 million previously funded by Senyun as an advanced payment) in aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes (the “Tranche C Notes”) in accordance with the schedule set forth in the SPA as follows, subject to certain conditions: (i) for Senyun, (A) no later than three business days after the effective date of the Sixth Amendment, the purchase and issuance of $25.0 million in principal amount of Tranche C Notes (which principal amount shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the $10.0 million previously funded by Senyun as an advanced payment) shall take place, pursuant to which, on February 9, 2023 and February 10, 2023, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million; (B) no later than 10 business days after the effective date of the Sixth Amendment, the purchase and issuance of $25.0 million in principal amount of Tranche C Notes shall take place, pursuant to which, on February 23, 2023, March 3, 2023, March 9, 2023 and March 10, 2023, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $25.0 million; and (C) no later than five business days after receipt of (a) approval by the Company’s stockholders of an increase in number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to 1,690,000,000 (which approval was obtained at the special meeting of stockholders held on February 28, 2023) and filing of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter to reflect such increase in authorized shares (which amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 1, 2023) (the “Sixth Amendment Authorized Share Increase”), (b) approval by the Company’s stockholders as may be required by applicable Nasdaq rules with respect to transactions contemplated under the Sixth Amendment (which approval was obtained at the special meeting of stockholders held on March 30, 2023) (the “Sixth Amendment Stockholder Approval”), and (c) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269729) registering the shares issuable under the Sixth Amendment (which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2023) (the “Sixth Amendment Form S-1 Effectiveness”), the purchase and issuance of $25.0 million in principal amount of Tranche C Notes shall take place; and (ii) for each other purchaser, (A) no later than three business days after the effective date of the Sixth Amendment, the purchase and issuance of an aggregate principal amount of Tranche C Notes equal to 50% of such purchaser’s commitment in respect of Tranche C Notes as indicated on the commitment schedule in the SPA shall take place, pursuant to which, on February 8, 2023, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $30.0 million; and (B) no later than five business days after receipt of (a) the Sixth Amendment Authorized Share Increase, (b) the Sixth Amendment Stockholder Approval, and (c) the Sixth Amendment Form S-1 Effectiveness, the purchase and issuance of the remaining aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C Notes equal to 50% of such purchaser’s commitment in respect of Tranche C Notes as indicated on the commitment schedule in the SPA shall take place.

The funding of the Tranche C Notes are subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) with respect to each funding of Tranche C Notes following the initial funding made within three business days of the effective date of the Sixth Amendment, delivery by the Company of a notice identifying the business day of the purchase and issuance of such Tranche C Notes, which date is to be no earlier than two business days and no later than 10 business days after the date of such notice; (ii) delivery by the Company of a SPA Warrant on the same terms as the SPA Warrants delivered in connection with the funding of Bridge Notes; (iii) delivery by the Company to such purchaser of the applicable Tranche C Note; (iv) subject to certain waivers as described in the SPA, there being no default or event of default; (v) payment by the Company of all legal fees and other transaction expenses incurred by such Purchaser up to $0.15 million (or $0.3 million in the case of Senyun and FF Simplicity) in the aggregate, which fees and expenses can be paid by, at the Company’s option, net funding of the applicable Tranche C Notes; and (vi) that the representations and warranties contained in the related financing agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable closing dates, as set forth therein.

The Tranche C Notes have a $1.05 base conversion price (amended to $0.8925 pursuant to the Eighth Amendment) subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and other adjustments as set forth therein, five year interest make-whole (calculated using the greater of (x) $0.21 per share of Common Stock (amended to $0.10 pursuant to the Eighth Amendment) and (y) 90% of the lowest VWAP for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date on which interest is paid in shares of Class A Common Stock), 10% per annum interest rate (or 15% if paid in Class A Common Stock subject to certain conditions). The Tranche C Notes and the Tranche D Notes (as defined below) and the SPA Warrants are subject to a pro rata cap on conversion or exercise (as applicable) equal to 19.99% of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the date of the Sixth Amendment until receipt of the Sixth Amendment Stockholder Approval. All of the SPA Notes and SPA Warrants (and the Exchange Notes described below) are subject to restrictions on conversion or exercise (other than an initial reserve of 63,051,933 shares of Class A Common Stock for FF Simplicity and 18,857,143 shares of Class A Common Stock for Senyun) until the Sixth Amendment Authorized Share Increase, and the right for Purchasers to receive additional warrant shares upon a down round financing has also been removed from all SPA Warrants. The Company was required to use reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 on or prior to February 10, 2023 (which registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269792) was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023), and to seek effectiveness of such registration statement within 90 days (which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2023), and the Company was required to seek effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268972) on or prior to February 10, 2023 (which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 8, 2023). The Company was also required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of the Sixth Amendment Authorized Share Increase within 45 days (or 60 days if necessary) and the Sixth Amendment Stockholder Approval within 60 days.

Each Purchaser also has the option to purchase a certain amount of additional SPA Notes and SPA Warrants from time to time for 12 months from the effective date of the Sixth Amendment, as set forth in the SPA (such additional SPA Notes, the “Tranche D Notes”).

Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment and the Exchange Agreements entered into concurrently therewith between the Company, on the one hand, and holders of SPA Warrants, on the other hand (collectively, the “Exchange Agreements”), (i) the provision under the SPA Warrants then-issued that allowed investors to receive the right to purchase additional shares in connection with down round financings was removed, (ii) certain other warrants of ATW Partners LLC and FF Simplicity’s SPA Warrants then issued, exercisable for an aggregate of 198,129,990 shares of Class A Common Stock, were exchanged for a combination of new warrants, exercisable at $0.2275 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and other adjustments, for an aggregate of 42,489,346 shares of Class A Common Stock and new senior secured convertible notes with aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, and (ii) Senyun’s SPA Warrants then issued, exercisable for an aggregate amount of 276,270,842 shares of Class A Common Stock, were exchanged for a combination of new warrants, each exercisable at $0.2275 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and other adjustments, for an aggregate of 48,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and new senior secured convertible notes with aggregate principal amount of $16.0 million (collectively with the notes issued pursuant to clause (ii), the “Exchange Notes”). The Exchange Notes are convertible at a conversion rate calculated at the lesser of (a) 90% of the VWAP for the trading day that is immediately prior to the date on which interest is paid in shares of Common Stock or (b) the greater of (x) $0.21 per share of Common Stock (amended to $0.10 pursuant to the Eighth Amendment) and (y) 90% of the average VWAP for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date on which interest is paid in shares of Common Stock. The Exchange Notes will constitute SPA Notes, except: (i) the holders thereof do not have the option under the SPA to purchase certain additional SPA Notes within 24 months from the effective date of the Sixth Amendment; (ii) such notes are not subject to any prepayment premium or penalty applicable to other SPA Notes; (iii) such notes are not subject to an original discount of 10%; and (iv) such notes are not entitled to the most favorable terms granted to other SPA Notes purchased simultaneously or after the purchase of such notes. Such notes are prepayable and redeemable at par at any time by the Company upon 15 days’ prior written notice.

Unsecured SPA Warrants and Unsecured SPA Notes

On May 8, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement dated May 8, 2023 (the “Unsecured SPA”) with Metaverse Horizon Limited and V W Investment Holding Limited (the “Unsecured SPA Purchasers”) to issue and sell, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and limitations on enforcement, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior unsecured convertible promissory notes, with (i) $15.0 million in the aggregate to be funded at the first closings within five business days after satisfaction of certain conditions (the “First Closings”); (ii) $15.0 million in the aggregate to be funded within fifteen business days after each respective First Closing (the “Second Closings”); (iii) $15.0 million in the aggregate to be funded within fifteen business days after each respective Second Closing (the “Third Closings”); (iv) $5.0 million to be funded within fifteen business days after one of the Third Closings; (v) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Fourth Closing”); (vi) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after the Fourth Closing (the “Fifth Closing”); (vii) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after the Fifth Closing (the “Sixth Closing”); (viii) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after the Sixth Closing (the “Seventh Closing”); and (ix) $10.0 million to be funded within fifteen days after the Seventh Closing. Between May 10, 2023 and May 23, 2023, the Company received gross proceeds pursuant to the Unsecured SPA totaling $7.5 million ($6.8 million net of original issuance cost).

Each Unsecured SPA Purchaser will also have the right to invest an additional 50% in the Company on terms and conditions substantially identical to the funded Unsecured SPA Note upon at least 10 business days’ prior notice. In connection with the Unsecured SPA, the Company entered into equity commitment letters with each of FF Top and Mr. Lijun Jin to support the obligations of the Unsecured SPA Purchasers under the Unsecured SPA subject to the limitations set forth therein. In the event of a breach by FF Global and/or Mr. Jin of their obligations under their equity commitment letters with the Company, the Company may not be able to recover the damages caused by such breach(es) due to the nature of FF Top’s and Mr. Jin’s assets, including the fact that many of Mr. Jin’s assets are not located in the United States and FF Top’s only assets are shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), a note payable from the Company, and a capital commitment from an investor with terms not disclosed to the Company or third party beneficiary rights in favor of the Company.

The Unsecured SPA Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, at a conversion price equal to $0.8925, plus an interest make-whole amount as set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes, subject to certain adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution price protection. The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Unsecured SPA Notes are not transferable for 30 days after the applicable last closing under such Unsecured SPA Note without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any Unsecured SPA Purchaser may postpone or cancel any closing pursuant to the Unsecured SPA in its reasonable discretion if it reasonably determines, based on public information, that the first phase of FF’s three-phase delivery plan as disclosed in public filings has not begun or will not begin prior to May 31, 2023 and/or the second phase of such delivery plan has not begun or will not begin prior to June 30, 2023, in each case within 15 calendar days of such deadline (the “Unsecured SPA Condition”). On June 26, 2023, the Unsecured SPA was amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Unsecured SPA (the “Unsecured SPA Amendment”), pursuant to which the Unsecured SPA Condition was amended such that any Unsecured SPA Purchaser may, in its reasonable discretion, postpone or cancel any closing pursuant to the Unsecured SPA if the Company has not issued a press release or other public announcement confirming that the second phase of the Company’s three-phase delivery plan as disclosed in the Company’s public filings has begun or on prior to August 31, 2023, within 15 calendar days of such date.

Each Unsecured SPA Note matures on the date that is six years after the date of the applicable last closing under such Unsecured SPA Note. The Unsecured SPA Notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, payable on each conversion date and the maturity date in cash, Class A Common Stock, or a combination thereof, provided that, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes, the Company may elect to pay such interest in Class A Common Stock at a rate equal to 15% per annum with respect to the portion of such payment made in Class A Common Stock. The Company may, from time to time, prepay the principal amount owing under the Unsecured SPA Notes, subject a prepayment premium pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, so long as (i) the Company provides at least 15 business days’ prior written notice to the applicable Unsecured SPA Purchasers of such prepayment and delivers to the Unsecured SPA Purchasers an appropriately completed payment notification, (ii) the Company accompanies such prepayment with the payment of any interest make-whole amount as set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes, (iii) certain conditions set forth in the Unsecured SPA Notes are met during each business day of the 15-business day notice period, and (iv) the Company waives the restriction on transfer of the relevant Unsecured SPA Notes.

Under the Unsecured SPA Notes, at each closing, the Unsecured SPA Purchaser is entitled to receive a warrant (an “Unsecured SPA Warrant”) registered in the name of such Unsecured SPA Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of such shares issuable to such Unsecured SPA Purchaser upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the Unsecured SPA Note funded at such closing, with an exercise price equal to $0.8925 per share, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection and other adjustments, and are exercisable for seven (7) years on a cash or cashless basis.

In addition, under the Unsecured SPA Notes, the funding of each closing under the Unsecured SPA Notes is subject to the satisfaction of the following closing conditions: (a) (i) an effective registration statement with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Unsecured SPA Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable pursuant to the terms of the Unsecured SPA Notes (including, without limitation, shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable in lieu of the cash payment of interest on the Unsecured SPA Notes in accordance with the terms thereof) (collectively, the “Underlying Shares”) for such closing and each previous closing in the aggregate and (ii) with respect to any closing the Underlying Shares of which, together with the Underlying Shares of all previous closings, exceed the unissued shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance as Underlying Shares (the “Reserved Shares”), receipt by the Company of Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval (as defined below) (and the filing of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to reflect the Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval to the extent needed); (b) solely with respect to the first closing under such Unsecured SPA Note, the Company’s receipt of bank statements showing source(s) of funding with respect to the relevant Unsecured SPA Purchaser’s funding obligations under such Unsecured SPA Note that are reasonably satisfactory to the Company; and (c) a minimum volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock equal to no less than $0.10 during the five (5) trading days prior to such closing.

Each Unsecured SPA Purchaser has the option, from time to time for 12 months after the date of the Unsecured SPA, to purchase additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Unsecured SPA Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed 50% (or with the prior written consent of the Company, 100%) of the initial principal amount of the Unsecured SPA Notes issued to such Unsecured SPA Purchaser, subject to certain conditions. Additionally, from the date of the Unsecured SPA until the date that is the five-year anniversary of the date of the Unsecured SPA, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Unsecured SPA) or an issuance of Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock equivalents under Section 4.25 of the Secured SPA (each, a “Subsequent Financing”), each Unsecured SPA Purchaser that then owns at least $20.0 million principal amount of Unsecured SPA Notes (when aggregated with any affiliates of such Unsecured SPA Purchaser) shall each have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing such that such Unsecured SPA Purchaser’s ownership of the Company remains the same immediately following such Subsequent Financing as its ownership immediately prior to such Subsequent Financing, pursuant to the procedures outlined in the Unsecured SPA.

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to hold a special meeting of stockholders to (a) obtain stockholder approval to authorize the entirety of the excess of the Underlying Shares over the Reserved Shares for issuance and for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 to the extent needed as promptly as practical under the circumstances after the date of the Unsecured SPA and prior to the date that is 60 days following the date of the Unsecured SPA, and (b) to obtain stockholder approval, as is required by Nasdaq rules, of transactions involving Unsecured SPA Notes and Unsecured SPA Warrants of the Company issued or to be issued pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, including the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock in respect of such notes and warrants ((a) and (b), together, “Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval”). Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA, FF Global irrevocably agreed to take reasonable efforts to vote in favor of the Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval.

The Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts (i) to file, on or prior to May 31, 2023, a registration statement providing for the resale by the Unsecured SPA Purchasers of the Reserved Shares (the “First Registration Statement”); and (ii) to file, on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the Company’s receipt of Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval (and the filing of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to reflect such increased in authorized shares of Common Stock), a registration statement providing for the resale by the Unsecured SPA Purchasers of all the remaining shares issuable pursuant to the financing documents (the “Second Registration Statement” and, together with the First Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”). The Company is also required to use reasonable best efforts (i) to cause the First Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days following the date of the Unsecured SPA; (ii) to cause the Second Registration Statement to become effective within 90 days following the Company’s filing thereof; and (iii) to keep each Registration Statement effective at all times until no Unsecured SPA Purchaser owns any Unsecured SPA Notes, Unsecured SPA Warrants, or shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof.

On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder with FF Vitality, pursuant to which FF Simplicity or a permitted assign agreed to exercise its option to purchase $20,000,000 of Tranche B Notes in accordance with the terms of the SPA, with funding of 75% of such amount within five business days of the date of the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder and the remaining 25% of such amount within three business days thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of the Joinder Tranche B Closing Conditions: (i) delivery of a warrant registered in the name of FF Simplicity to FF Simplicity on the closing date to purchase up to a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of such shares issuable to FF Simplicity upon conversion of the Tranche B Note, with an exercise price equal to $0.8925 per share, (ii) delivery to FF Simplicity of the applicable Tranche B Note, (iii) subject to certain note waivers, no default or event of default exists, and (iv) subject to certain note waivers, the representations and warranties in the SPA documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier) both before and after giving effect to such Tranche B Note. If FF Simplicity exercises its option to invest another $10,000,000 of Tranche B Notes in accordance with the terms of the SPA on or prior to the later of (x) August 1, 2023 and (y) four business days after the meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval, then the Company agrees to subsequently amend the Unsecured SPA whereby FF Vitality will invest another $20,000,000 in New Unsecured SPA Notes subject to terms substantially identical to those provided for in the Unsecured SPA in effect as of the date of the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, including, without limitation, the funding date timeline.

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, FF Vitality agreed to purchase, under the Unsecured SPA, Unsecured SPA Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40,000,000 (collectively, the “New Unsecured SPA Notes”) in installments, as follows: (i) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within five business days after the satisfaction of the closing conditions described below (the “New Unsecured SPA Closing Conditions”) or such earlier business day as designated by FF Vitality by notice to the Company (the “Joinder First Closing”); (ii) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the Joinder First Closing (the “Joinder Second Closing”); (iii) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the Joinder Second Closing (the “Joinder Third Closing”); (iv) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the satisfaction of the Closing Conditions (the “Joinder Fourth Closing”); (v) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the Joinder Fourth Closing (the “Joinder Fifth Closing”); (vi) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the Joinder Fifth Closing (the “Joinder Sixth Closing”); (vii) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the Joinder Sixth Closing (the “Joinder Seventh Closing”); and (viii) $5.0 million in principal amount under the New Unsecured SPA Notes within 15 business days after the Joinder Seventh Closing (the “Joinder Eighth Closing” and each of the Joinder First Closing, the Joinder Second Closing, the Joinder Third Closing, the Joinder Fourth closing, the Joinder Fifth Closing, the Joinder Sixth Closing, the Joinder Seventh Closing and the Joinder Eighth Closing, a “Joinder Closing”).

The New Unsecured SPA Notes shall have a conversion price of $0.8925 per share, subject to adjustment, as set forth in the Unsecured SPA, and the floor price of the New Unsecured SPA Notes and, as amended pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, for each of the notes issued to FF Simplicity (or its affiliates) under the SPA, shall be $0.05 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalization or other similar transactions occurring thereafter) (or such lower amount as may be permitted under Nasdaq rules from time to time). The terms and conditions of the New Unsecured SPA Notes cannot be amended, modified, supplemented or amended and restated without the consent of FF Vitality.

The funding of each Joinder Closing is also subject to the following closing conditions (the “New Unsecured SPA Closing Conditions”): (a) an effective registration statement with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Unsecured SPA Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable pursuant to the terms of the New Unsecured SPA Notes (including, without limitation, shares of Class A Common Stock issued and issuable in lieu of the cash payment of interest on the New Unsecured SPA Notes in accordance with the terms thereof) (collectively, the “New Underlying Shares”) for such closing and (b) the Company shall have reserved the Required Reserve Amount (as defined below) in full as of the date of such Joinder Closing.

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, FF Vitality may not convert any New Unsecured SPA Notes to the extent that such conversion would result that FF Vitality, together with its affiliates and other persons acting as a group together with FF Vitality, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to such conversion. Upon notice to the Company, the New Unsecured SPA Purchaser may increase or decrease such limitation threshold, provided it shall not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such conversion. In addition, pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, the Unsecured SPA Warrants issued to FF Vitality in connection with the New Unsecured SPA Notes shall be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation that is 4.99% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Unsecured SPA Warrant, which limitation threshold may also increase or decrease provided it shall not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of such Unsecured SPA Warrant, subject to the provision of the Unsecured SPA Warrant.

In addition, pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, the Unsecured SPA was further amended to provide that each Unsecured SPA Purchaser and FF Vitality has the option, upon written notice to the Company, to purchase from time to time for 12 months from May 8, 2023 and from June 25, 2023, respectively, additional convertible senior unsecured notes and warrants on the same terms as the New Unsecured SPA Notes (the “Additional Unsecured SPA Notes”), in an amount not to exceed 50% or 100% (the latter with the prior written consent of the Company) of the initial principal amount of the Unsecured SPA Notes issued to such purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of the Unsecured SPA and purchased for cash.

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, the Company’s lack of sufficient authorized or registered shares to serve as underlying shares of the outstanding SPA Notes and related SPA Warrants and Unsecured SPA Notes and related Unsecured SPA Warrants is not deemed a breach of the SPA, Unsecured SPA and related notes and warrants, as a result thereof. However, at any time any SPA Notes remain outstanding (and any New Unsecured SPA Notes, Additional Unsecured SPA Notes and/or New Exchange Notes then outstanding or then issuable in connection with a transaction in which such determination is being made) (collectively, the “applicable Notes”), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 100% of the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the Applicable Notes then outstanding and any New Unsecured SPA Notes, Additional Unsecured SPA Notes and/or New Exchange Notes then issuable in connection with a transaction in which such determination is being made (assuming for purposes hereof that any conversion of any Applicable Note shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of such Applicable Note), (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserved Amount shall not be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exchange and/or redemption, as applicable. If the Company lacks shares sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount, it shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to obtain stockholder approval to increase the Company’s authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of such an increase.

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, and in accordance with the provisions of the SPA and Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, FF Vitality agreed, on behalf of its affiliates, that after the date of the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, FF Simplicity may deliver written notice (each, an “Exchange Notice,” and the date of such applicable Exchange Notice, each, an “Exchange Date”) to exchange (each, an “Exchange”) any Tranche B Notes, in whole or in part (each, an “Exchanging Note,” and such outstanding amounts thereunder, each, an “Exchanging Amount”), for either (x) Tranche D Notes (as defined in the SPA), and/or (y) for any Additional Unsecured SPA Note under the Unsecured SPA, as applicable, (as set forth in such applicable Exchange Notice, each a “New Exchange Note,” and as converted, each a “New Exchange Conversion Share”). Each Exchange shall automatically be deemed to be consummated on the corresponding Exchange Date and, upon the delivery of such Exchange Notice, FF Vitality shall automatically be deemed to have exchanged the applicable Exchanging Amount of the applicable Exchanging Note for a New Exchange Note with an aggregate amount outstanding equal to the Exchanging Amount. The Company shall deliver a convertible note certificate evidencing such New Exchange Note to FF Simplicity (or its designee) by no later than the fourth trading day after the Exchange Date (or such other date agreed upon by FF Simplicity and the Company). On such Exchange Date, FF Simplicity shall automatically be deemed to be the holder of such New Exchange Note, with full power to convert, redeem or otherwise enforce the terms and conditions of the New Exchange Note on or after such Exchange Date, whether or not the Company shall have delivered the convertible note certificate evidencing such New Exchange Note to FF Simplicity (or its designee) on or prior to such date of determination. The consummation of an Exchange shall reduce FF Simplicity’s optionality for Tranche D Notes and/or Additional Unsecured SPA Notes, as applicable, under the SPA or Unsecured SPA, respectively, as applicable, for such corresponding Exchanging Amount and restore such optionality for the Tranche B Notes in accordance with the terms of the SPA in effect as of the date of the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder.

Assuming FF Simplicity is not then considered an “affiliate” of the Company under applicable rules, the holding period of the New Exchange Notes (and upon conversion of the New Exchange Notes, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) shall commence at the original issuance of such corresponding Exchanging Note and shall not be re-set in connection with such applicable Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, and for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company acknowledged and agreed that the holding period of the New Exchange Notes (and upon conversion of the New Exchange Notes, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) may be tacked onto the holding period of the Exchanging Notes, and the Company agreed not to take a contrary position.

In the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, the Company represented and warranted to FF Simplicity that (i) no brokerage or finder’s fees or commission were or will be payable by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Exchange, the applicable Exchange Amount of the Exchanging Note being the sole consideration conveyed to the Company for the New Exchange Note (and upon conversion of such New Exchange Note, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) and no other consideration has or will be paid for such New Exchange Note; (ii) the Company has not, nor has any person acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the Exchange and the issuance of the applicable New Exchange Note (and upon conversion of such New Exchange Notes, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) pursuant to such Exchange to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act, which would prevent the Company from delivering such applicable New Exchange Note (and upon conversion of such New Exchange Note, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, and the Company will not cause the applicable Exchange, issuance and delivery of such New Exchange Note (and upon conversion of such New Exchange Note, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) to be integrated with other offerings to the effect that the delivery of such New Exchange Note (and upon conversion of such New Exchange Note, the New Exchange Conversion Shares) to FF Simplicity would be seen not to be exempt pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act; and (iii) other than legal counsel, the Company has not (and will not have) engaged any third parties to assist in the solicitation with respect to the Exchange.

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder, the Company agreed to pay FF Vitality a one-time $300,000 working fee and legal fees not to exceed $350,000, which shall be paid by netting the purchase price for any New Unsecured SPA Notes with the amount of such fees.

On June 26, 2023, the Company entered into the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder with Senyun, pursuant to which Senyun or a permitted assign agreed to exercise its option to purchase $15,000,000 of SPA Notes in accordance with the terms of the SPA, with funding of 75% of such amount within five business days of the date of the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder and the remaining 25% of such amount within three business days thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of the same Joinder Tranche B Closing Conditions as described above. If Senyun exercises its option to invest another $10,000,000 of SPA Notes in accordance with the terms of the SPA on or prior to the later of (x) August 1, 2023 and (y) four business days after the meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the Unsecured SPA Stockholder Approval, then the Company agrees to subsequently amend the Unsecured SPA whereby Senyun will invest another $20,000,000 in New Unsecured SPA Notes subject to terms substantially identical to those provided in the Unsecured SPA (in effect as of the date of the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder, including, without limitation, the funding date timeline).

Pursuant to the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder, Senyun agreed to purchase, under the Unsecured SPA, Unsecured SPA Notes (the “New Senyun Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000,000 in installments of $3.75 million at each of the eight closing dates. The floor price of the New Senyun Notes pursuant to the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder, and as amended pursuant to the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder, for each note issued to Senyun (or its affiliates) under the SPA, shall be $0.05 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring thereafter).

The other material terms of the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder are the same as those set forth in the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder described above, except (i) the applicable ownership limitations for notes and warrants pursuant to the Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder are each 9.99% (instead of 4.99%, in each case, set forth in the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder), (ii) Senyun retained any right to preserve any potential dispute with regards to a conversion request that was sent to the Company in May 2023, and (iii) the one-time working fee and legal fees that the Company agreed to pay to Senyun were $225,000 and up to $262,500, respectively.

On June 26, 2023, the Unsecured SPA Purchasers executed a letter consent to the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder and Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder, and agreed specifically to Section 17 of each of the Unsecured SPA ATW Joinder and Unsecured SPA Senyun Joinder, which states that (i) each shall not otherwise trigger any adjustment to the conversion or exercise price of the notes and warrants under the SPA and Unsecured SPA, and (ii) that each of Senyun, FF Simplicity and FF Prosperity waived any such rights to any adjustment to the conversion or exercise price in each of the SPA and/or the Unsecured SPA, as applicable, and the related notes and warrants.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws

Under the Amended and Restated Charter, FF has certain anti-takeover provisions in place as follows:

Special Meeting of Stockholders

The Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by (i) the Chairperson of the Board, (ii) the chief executive officer or (iii) a majority vote of the Board.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

The Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before FF’s special meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at FF’s special meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing subject to certain exceptions for FF Top Board designees under the Shareholder Agreement. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by FF secretary at FF’s principal executive offices no later than the close of business on the 90^th day nor earlier than the open of business on the 120^th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding special meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), proposals seeking inclusion in FF’s annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. The Amended and Restated Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude FF stockholders from bringing matters before the special meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at FF’s special meeting of stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

FF’s authorized but unissued Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of FF by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive Forum Selection

The Amended and Restated Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in FF’s name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within 10 days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. The Amended and Restated Charter also requires that the federal district courts of the United States of America be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Amended and Restated Charter.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with FF or any of FF’s directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. FF cannot be certain that a court will decide that this provision is either applicable or enforceable, and if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Amended and Restated Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, FF may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm FF’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Amended and Restated Charter provides that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Amended and Restated Charter provides that directors and officers will be indemnified by FF to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law as it now exists or may in the future be amended.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws also permit FF to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. FF has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures FF’s directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures FF against its obligations to indemnify the directors and officers.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against FF’s directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit FF and FF stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent FF pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to FF’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, FF has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Supermajority Vote to Amend Certain Provisions of our Bylaws and Amended and Restated Charter

Our Amended and Restated Charter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote thereon to amend certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter. In addition, our Bylaws provide that stockholders shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote thereon.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which provides that, subject to certain stated exceptions, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any “interested stockholder” (as defined below) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

An “interested stockholder” is any person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary) who owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date of determination, and the affiliates and associates of such person.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of the DGCL and of our Amended and Restated Charter and Bylaws

Certain provisions of DGCL and of our Amended and Restated Charter and Bylaws discussed above, including provisions relating to our staggered board of directors, the removal of directors and the filling of vacancies, the advance notice provisions, the prohibition on stockholder action by written consent and the supermajority vote requirement to amend our Bylaws and certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter, alone or in combination, could make the acquisition of us more difficult and could delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interest, including takeover attempts that might result in the payment of a premium to stockholders over the market price for their shares. These provisions also may promote the continuity of our management by making it more difficult for a person to remove or change the incumbent members of our board of directors.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, New York, New York 10004.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering (i) up to 103,348,727 shares of Class A Common Stock for possible sale by the Selling Stockholders from time to time, and (ii) up to 12,156,174 shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable upon the conversion of the SPA Notes and subsequent possible sale by the holders thereof from time to time. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of our Class A Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders will be the purchase price of the securities less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling Stockholders.

The shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. The term “Selling Stockholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Stockholders may sell their shares of Class A Common Stock by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may also engage in short sales of shares of Class A Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of Class A Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Stockholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

A Selling Stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, that the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Stockholder or borrowed from any Selling Stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, of which this prospectus forms a part, to register the securities offered by this prospectus. This prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement. For further information pertaining to us and our securities, you should refer to the registration statement and to its exhibits. The registration statement has been filed electronically and may be obtained in any manner listed below. Whenever we make reference in this prospectus to any of our contracts, agreements or other documents, the references are not necessarily complete. If a contract or document has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement or a report we file under the Exchange Act, you should refer to the copy of the contract or document that has been filed. Each statement in this prospectus relating to a contract or document filed as an exhibit to a registration statement or report is qualified in all respects by the filed exhibit.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Our SEC filings are available to the public over the internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on our website, free of charge, at www.ff.com. The information found on, or that can be accessed from or that is hyperlinked to, our website is not part of this prospectus. You may inspect a copy of the registration statement through the SEC’s website, as provided herein. 

The SEC’s rules allow us to “incorporate by reference” information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and information that we file later with the SEC that is incorporated by reference herein will automatically update and supersede this information. SEC rules and regulations also permit us to “furnish” rather than “file” certain reports and information with the SEC. Any such reports or information which we have indicated or indicate in the future as being “furnished,” including any information furnished under either Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 or any related exhibit furnished under Item 9.01(d) of any Current Report on Form 8-K unless, and except to the extent, specified in any such Current Report on Form 8-K or in any applicable prospectus supplement, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into or otherwise become a part of this prospectus, regardless of when furnished to the SEC. Any statement contained in a previously filed document incorporated by reference will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or in any subsequently filed incorporated document modifies or replaces that statement.

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement incorporate by reference the documents set forth below that have previously been filed with the SEC:

Any documents we file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of the initial registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and prior to effectiveness of the registration statement, as well as subsequent to the effectiveness of the registration statement and prior to the termination of the offering of our securities to which this prospectus relates, will automatically be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus and to be part hereof from the date of filing those documents. We are not, however, incorporating by reference any documents or portions thereof that are not deemed “filed” with the SEC, including any information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K or related exhibits furnished pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. Any statements in any such future filings will automatically be deemed to modify and supersede any information in any document we previously filed with the SEC that is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference to the extent that statements in the later filed document modify or replace such earlier statements.

PART II

Information Not Required in Prospectus

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following is an estimate (other than the SEC registration fee) of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby.

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Selling Stockholders, however, will bear all underwriting commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of the securities. All amounts are estimates except the SEC registration fee and the FINRA filing fee.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The relevant provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Section 7.01 of the Amended and Restated Charter provides:

“To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.”

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with future directors and executive officers.
