美国加州洛杉矶（2023年2月9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”) 今天宣布将于美国西部时间2月13日星期一下午1:30（美国东部时间下午4:30、北京时间2月14日星期二早5:30）举行预先录制的FFIE全球投资⼈沟通与特别股东⼤会投票网络会议。在该会议上，包括几位FF高管在内的发言人将分享公司业务计划的相关细节。

与此同时，公司也确定了特别股东大会的日期。本次特别股东大会定于美国西部时间2023年2月28日上午9:00（北京时间2023年3月1日凌晨1:00）举行。公司建议2023年1月31日前的所有股东投票支持、并征求代理人支持有关公司A 类普通股增发授权的提案。
公司最近宣布执行了对于1.35 亿美元可转换担保票据融资最终协议。截至2023年2月9日，公司收到了其中的5,000万美元（扣除原始贴现和交易成本后为4,450美元）。这意味着公司已经收到了5,000万美元的全额首付款（扣除原始贴现和交易成本后为4,450万美元），且预计不久之后将收到500万美元的下一笔付款（扣除原始贴现后为450万美元）。在某些特定条件满足的情况下，公司预计在2023年2月17日前收到剩余的2,500万美元（扣除原始折扣和交易成本后为2,250万美元）。剩余资金将在满足或豁免相关条件后的 5 个工作日内到账，相关条件包括公司股东在2023年2月28日的公司特别股东大会上批准增加授权股份，以及适用的票据和认股权证的相关股份的有效登记声明。一旦融资按照预定的时间表完成，公司预计将满足FF 91 Futurist的开始生产（"SOP"）所需的资金需求。
Faraday Future计划于2023 年 2 月 28 日召开特别股东大会，审议有关公司A 类普通股增发授权的提案。该提议如果得到FF股东的批准，将为未来的额外持续融资扫清了障碍，从而最好地支持 FF 91 Futurist 量产交付和公司的其他战略目标的实现。作为公司的大股东，FF Global Partners LLC (“FFGP”) 的子公司 FF Top Holdings LLC 同意在即将举行的特别股东大会上对其实益拥有的所有股份进行投票，以支持该提案。
FF股东的批准是完成上述部分融资的条件，也是支持公司实现长期战略目标的关键路径。有关特别股东大会的更多信息，请参阅我们之前向美国证券交易委员会提交的附表 14A 中的最终代理声明。
FFIE的股东可以通过互联网、电话或按照委托书上的指示填写并邮寄委托书来投票。您可以在特别会议前签署并寄回委托书，亦可通过互联网或电话提交委托书。您也可以在特别股东大会上进行投票。但如果您无法出席本次特别股东大会，请您提前进行投票，这将保证您的投票被计算在内。
由银行、股票代理商或经其他被提名人代为提交的投票委托书应按持股人要求寄出并在持股人填写后收回。无论您是否计划出席本次特别股东大会，我们鼓励每一位持股人及时参与投票，以确保您的投票被计算在内。
