美国加州洛杉矶（2022年8月15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") 今天宣布成功签署了一项新融资机制的最终协议。公司将继续与多位投资人积极讨论潜在的高额短期融资。
根据新的融资协议，Faraday Future将获得$5,200万美元的初始承诺资金。该融资框架预计在可转换担保票据结构中潜在的融资总额最高达6亿美金。由美国机构投资人ATW Partners管理的基金主导了这项交易。出资$2,700万美元（加上2022年8月17日或之前承诺并在2022年8月19日或之前出资的额外投资人提供的最多$3,100万美元）的投资人将获得每股FFIE股份$2.2865美元的转换价格，后续的出资将获得每股FFIE股份$2.69美元的转换价格。所有投资人将获得33%的认股权证，行权价格为每股FFIE股份$5美元。该机制的结构允许更多投资人以类似的条件参与融资。投资人可以在我们2022年8月15日递交的8-K文件中找到相关条款。在此次融资中，花旗银行担任配售代理，Sidley Austin LLP担任公司的法律顾问。Blank Rome LLP和Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP担任此次融资中主要投资人的法律顾问。
公司仍在积极地与美国机构投资人和国际资本展开融资讨论。这些讨论或将帮助公司获得已执行资金承诺之外的额外资金。公司将酌情或在达成任何其他最终协议后提供有关融资谈判的最新情况。
“我很高兴看到公司获得新的融资并签署相关框架协议，以获得可观的额外资金。我们正在努力完成这一资本筹集过程，以筹集足够的新资金来推出FF 91电动车。 在成功完成这一融资过程后，我相信我们可以在今年第三季度末或第四季度向我们的客户交付FF 91 电动车。”Faraday Future 全球CEO 毕福康博士表示。
毕福康博士同时表示："我们位于加州汉福德的FF ieFactory California已接近完工。工厂里所有用于开始生产的相关设备都已到位，并正处于设备安装的最后阶段。FF ieFactory California已经生产了十余辆用于最终测试验证的准量产车。FF 91的最终测试和验证正在顺利进行，我对我们看到的结果非常满意。FF 91将是市场上第一款超豪电动车，并将重新定义用户对智能出行的驾乘体验。
