美国加州洛杉矶（2022年9月26日）— 总部位于美国加州的全球共享智能电动出行生态系统公司Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) ("FF", “Faraday Future” 或"公司”) 今天宣布，就治理分歧与FF Top达成全面解决方案并且执行了最终的新融资协议。 公司继续与投资人展开积极讨论，为 FF 91 的量产交付进行融资谈判。
公司宣布与 FF Top Holding LLC（“FF Top”）达成具有约束力的治理协议，该协议解决了一系列有关治理的问题。 该治理协议在我们今天早些时候提交8-K表格当中进行了更详细的描述，其中包括 FF Top 同意立即撤回对 FFIE 董事会的诉讼、调整FFIE 董事会成员和董事会规模，以及Faraday Future与FF Top之间股东协议的相关修订。 Adam He已被任命为新的独立董事以及提名和公司治理委员会和审计委员会成员。
“与我们的最大股东达成治理和相关问题的决议，对于Faraday Future和我们所有股东来说，都的一项重大成就和前进的重要一步。 我们现在可以集中精力打造FF 91。我们感谢各方为达成这项决议所做的努力，”Faraday Future全球CEO 毕福康博士说。
“FF Top很高兴达成了一项决议。 我们期待这个机会为FFIE带来新的起点和更美好的未来，也期待各方履行治理决议的义务，以实现Faraday Future和所有股东的最大利益。”FF Top 发言人表示。
同时，公司宣布执行两项最终协议，新融资承诺总额高达 1 亿美元。 详细条款可在我们今天早些时候提交的8-K表格报告中找到。
1. 根据第一份融资协议，在符合某些先决条件的情况下，Faraday Future将以可转换担保票据和认股权证行权付款的形式获得高达4000万美元的近期融资。
2. 根据单独的第二份融资协议，公司将从Senyun International Ltd.，Daguan International Ltd全资子公司，以可转换担保票据的形式在满足相关条件下，获得高达6000万美元的额外近期融资。此类融资的条款与先前承诺票据的条款基本相似，但也取决于公司对投资者进行的尽职调查的顺利完成以及具体的融资里程碑时间表。
公司正在与潜在的投资者为到2022年底及以后运营所需的额外资金进行融资进行讨论。作为正在进行的节约现金和减少开支工作的一部分，公司最近实施了减少雇员和其他开支减少以及延迟付款措施。根据公司的财务状况和市场状况，可能会采取进一步的措施，包括进一步减少雇员。 更多信息可以参阅我们今天早些时候提交的8-K表格报告。
