LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 1, 2026--

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or the “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of FF.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260201192904/en/

“First, I want to share an important capital markets update. FF has signed a stock purchase agreement with a designated third party identified by AIxC. AIxC will fund FF $10 million, before offering expenses, and FF will issue the third party with $10 million in FF Class A common stock based on the most recent closing price prior to the closing date. The closing is anticipated to take place on or before February 13, subject to customary closing conditions, and subject to approval of an increase in authorized shares at FF’s special meeting of stockholders on February 13. This is a pure equity financing. There is no discount to the market, and no convertible debt is, or derivative instruments are involved.

AIXC has previously indicated a desire to tokenize FF Class A common stock, subject to regulatory and other considerations. FF intends to use the proceeds from the offering, for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to preliminary costs associated with the FX Super One and potentially for purchases of FF EAI robotics, including production, sales expansion, and scaled deliveries.

This coming week, on February 4, we will hold the FF “EAI Robotics & Vehicle +” Embodied Intelligence Robotics Final Launch and FF/FX Par Summit.

We will not only launch the first three FF embodied intelligence (EAI) robots, but also open paid pre-orders and full sales, and strive to achieve delivery in the same month for at least two of the models, becoming one of the first companies to achieve simultaneous delivery of humanoid and non-humanoid robotics in the U.S. and targeting to become an industry-leading company.

We will also unveil our FF EAI Robotics’ “Three-in-One” ecosystem strategy—covering product technology, business execution, and ecosystem development—along with the “6-3-3” industry application and practical value scenarios and will announce the “Four Future Trends” of the EAI robotics industry.

At 3:30 PM on February 4, Pacific Standard time, which is 7:30 AM on February 5, Beijing time, we will host a global live broadcast from the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas. We warmly invite everyone to tune in and watch. Now, more updates on the progress we made on the FFAI EAI flywheel.

On S4, Product Execution & Delivery:

Following the roll-off of the first FX Super One vehicle at the Hanford plant, ongoing vehicle production and roll-off will continue to support compliance testing and market-related activities. The manufacturing team continues to optimize and validate process documentation. As of this week, the initial version of the final assembly process control plans—covering 539 documents—has been completed. In parallel, 65% of the required training and validation activities have also been completed, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming initial production ramp-up.

EAI robotics have also entered the production preparation phase, while scenario-specific customization, testing, and data training are being carried out in parallel to accelerate the upcoming delivery process.

On S6 Middle East:

This week, two FX Super One vehicles were delivered at our UAE plant in Ras Al Khaimah to the UAE Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Blue Sea Auto, a professional automotive service company in the UAE. This reflects continued deliveries in the Middle East. Going forward, the Company will continue to optimize its products and service experience based on the needs of Middle Eastern users and local usage environments, driving broader adoption of EAI vehicles in the Middle East market.

On the Crypto Flywheel, here are This Week’s Key Updates from AIxC:

As I noted at the beginning of my update, a third party identified by AIxC has signed a $10 million equity purchase agreement for FF Class A common stock. AIxC has previously indicated a desire to develop a replicable RWA financial model for the tokenization of public equities, subject to regulatory and other considerations.

Meanwhile, AIxC continues to report strong growth in its data metrics. That’s all for this week. I’ll see you all next week in Las Vegas at the February 4 launch event!”

DISCLAIMER REGARDING THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK OFFER AND SALE

The third-party purchaser has ultimate discretion over the securities. The third-party purchaser may choose to sell some or all of the Class A common stock instead of tokenizing it.

If and when the FF Class A common stock is tokenized, FF will receive no monetary benefits from such activity, as FF is not undertaking the tokenization itself. Rather, this is an action solely between the designated third party and AIXC. The only way FF can directly benefit at a future date from tokenization is if AIXC declares a stockholder dividend, at its sole discretion.

The shares of Class A common stock to be issued in this offering will initially be unregistered and not immediately tradable. For additional information regarding the material terms relating to the Class A common stock offer, please see FF’s Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC on or around February 2, 2026.

The Class A common stock will be offered and sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy FF Class A common stock, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran fired on targets across the Middle East while American and Israeli airstrikes hit the Islamic Republic early Friday as the war neared the end of its fifth week unabated and the U.N. Security Council prepared to meet over Tehran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite claims from the U.S. and Israel that Iran’s military capabilities have been all but destroyed, Tehran has continued to keep the pressure on Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors. Bahrain and Kuwait both reported early morning barrages from Iran, while Israel warned of incoming missiles.

Activists reported strikes around Tehran and the central city of Isfahan, but it wasn’t immediately clear what was hit.

Iran’s attacks on Gulf region energy infrastructure and its tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas transits in peacetime, have sent oil prices skyrocketing and is impacting global economies.

Spot prices of Brent crude, the international standard, were around $109 early Friday, up more than 50% from Feb. 28 when Israel and the U.S. started the war with their attacks on Iran.

Shipping had flowed freely through the strait before the war, but U.S. President Donald Trump has said it’s not now Washington’s responsibility to get the waterway reopened, instead putting the onus on others, saying this week that the countries that depend more on fuel shipped through Hormuz should “build some delayed courage” and go “take it.”

The U.N. Security Council was expected to vote Saturday on a proposal from Bahrain that would authorize defensive action to ensure vessels can safely transit the strait. Bahrain’s initial draft would have allowed countries to “use all necessary means” to secure the strait, but Russia, China and France — who have veto power on the Council — expressed opposition to approving the use of force.

Speaking Thursday in South Korea, French President Emmanuel Macron said the American expectation that the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened by force was unrealistic.

Macron said a military operation “would take an infinite amount of time and would expose anyone passing through the strait to coastal threats from (Iran’s) Revolutionary Guard." He added that reopening of the strait “can only be done in coordination with Iran,” through negotiations that would follow a potential ceasefire.

Talks organized by Britain and involving more than 40 countries focused on political rather than military means to secure the strait. The nations, which didn't include the U.S., urged increased diplomatic pressure on Iran and possible sanctions.

More than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran during the war, while 19 have been reported dead in Israel. More than two dozen people have died in Gulf states and the occupied West Bank, while 13 U.S. service members have been killed.

More than 1,300 people have been killed and more than 1 million displaced in Lebanon, where Israel has launched a ground invasion in its fight with the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militant group. Ten Israeli soldiers have also died there.

Rising reported from Bangkok. AP journalists Sylvie Corbet in Paris and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.
