洛杉矶，2023年3月9日——总部位于美国加州的全球共享智能电动出行生态公司Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. （纳斯达克： FFIE）（"Faraday Future "、"FF"或"公司"）今日宣布将于美国时间2023年3月30日召开特别股东会议。公司建议截至2023年2月3日收市时持有FFIE股票的所有股东投票支持相关提案。公司还宣布计划从机构投资者处再融5000万美元，并可能从股东处融到额外资金以进一步夯实公司的资产负债表并为生产爬坡提供资金。
3月30日召开的特别股东大会将审议以下两个提案：
- 公司提请股东批准某些涉及已发行或将发行给FF Simplicity Ventures LLC, Senyun International Limited、Acuitas Capital, LLC 和/或其附属公司的Tranche C和Tranche D票据和认股权证的交易。纳斯达克股票市场规则和条例要求公司在发行与该等票据和认股权证相关的股份超过公司发行在外普通股总数19.99%的情况下须获得批准。
- 公司提请股东批准选择Mazars作为公司截至2022年12月31日止年度的独立注册公共会计师事务所。
公司依据投资协议已按计划从投资者处获得初始打款。完成近期宣布的1.35亿美元可转换担保票据融资承诺的剩余部分须获得上述第一项提议的股东批准。这些资金将支持公司达到即将到来的开始生产（“SOP”）和开始交付（“SOD”）里程碑以及实现进一步的长期目标。欢迎查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，来获取特别股东大会的更多信息。

FF是智能电车时代下极智科技奢华超级塔尖市场的开创者，又是传统超豪华汽车文明的颠覆者。
FF不仅仅是一家电动车公司，也是一家软件驱动的智能互联网AI产品公司。FF的终极目标是通过提供共享智能电动出行生态成为一家用户公司。
我们设想FF的发展分为三个阶段。
- 我们的第一阶段目标是把FF 91 Futurist Alliance、FF 91 Futurist和FF 91按时，高品质，高产品力地交付到FF的全球超级塔尖用户手中，实现对传统超豪华汽车品牌的颠覆，并最终成为全球塔尖用户市场第一。
- 随着公司推出更多车型，用户生态系统将开始形成。FF预计后续的硬件收入将有所增长，包括互联网应用、软件、分享在内的生态收入也将继续增长。FF第二阶段的目标是成为主流高价值用户市场领军企业之一。
- 在第三阶段，FF打算维持其硬件收入和生态收入的增长，我们相信生态收入所占的利润占比越来越高。
通过Product and Technology Generation 2.0 （PT Gen 2.0）项目，FF正在完成FF 91 Futurist的最终测试和验证。从PT Gen 1.0到PT Gen 2.0的升级包括车辆和I.A.I.（核心先进系统，即智能、自动驾驶和互联网）领域的系统和核心部件的重大升级。PT Gen 2.0是通过26个主要系统和部件的升级实现的，其中13个关键升级贯穿动力系统、电池、充电、底盘和内饰，另外13个来自于计算、传感、通信、用户互动和FF 91 Futurist性能。
作为唯一的下一代极智科技奢华电动车，FF 91 Futurist对标法拉利、迈巴赫、劳斯莱斯和宾利，提供极限科技和极致用户体验在内的独特的智能EV体验。FF 91 Futurist正在进行一系列最终的车辆验证和测试并将在未来几个月内进行生产和交付。值得一提的是，FF 91 Futurist经认证的EPA续航里程为381英里，拥有全球电动跨界车和SUV中最长的EPA续航里程，超出同类竞品近50-70英里。0到60英里时速的加速时间仅为2.27秒，FF 91 Futurist击败了几乎所有超豪华市场区间的竞品。
我们当前正根据FF ieFactory California的详细生产计划全力以赴筹备FF 91 Futurist的生产工作。同时，FF将继续推动FFIE中美双主市场和中美双基因战略的有效落地实施，以确保公司在这两个全球主要市场取得成功。
