LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) (“FF”, “Faraday Future”, or “the Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the successful execution of a definitive agreement for a new financing facility. The Company continues to have active discussions with multiple capital providers for potential significant additional near-term funding.

Under the new financing facility, which contemplates total potential funding of as much as $600 million in a convertible secured notes structure, Faraday Future will receive an initial $52 million of committed funds. Funds managed by ATW Partners, a U.S.-based institutional investor, led the transaction. Investors contributing $27 million (plus up to $31 million from additional investors who commit on or prior to August 17, 2022 and fund on or prior to August 19, 2022) will receive a conversion price of $2.2865 per FFIE share, later contributions will receive a conversion price of $2.69 per FFIE share. All investors will receive 33% warrant coverage with an exercise price of $5.00 per FFIE share. The facility is structured to allow for additional investor participation on similar terms. Other terms can be found in our 8-K filing dated August 15, 2022. Citi served as placement agent, and Sidley Austin LLP served as legal advisor to the Company. Blank Rome LLP and Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP served as legal advisors to the lead investor in the fundraising.

The Company remains in active discussions with both U.S. institutional investors and international funding sources. These discussions may or may not lead to additional funding commitments beyond what has already been executed. The Company will provide further updates on financing negotiations as appropriate, and upon the conclusion of any additional definitive agreements.

“I am very pleased to have this important new committed capital and framework in place for substantial additional funding. We are working diligently to complete this capital raise process in order to raise sufficient new funds to launch the FF 91. Subject to successful completion of this fundraising process, I am confident that we can deliver cars to our customers in late Q3 or Q4.” said Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, Global CEO of Faraday Future.

Dr. Breitfeld continued, “Our Hanford manufacturing facility, recently renamed the “FF ieFactory California” is nearing completion. We have all the equipment on site needed to begin production and are in the final stages of installation. The FF ieFactory California has already produced over a dozen production-intent vehicles. Testing and validation of the FF 91 is well underway, and I am very pleased with the results we are seeing. The FF 91 will be the world’s first ultra-luxury EV and will reset customer expectations for what the future of intelligent mobility can be.”
