Video Transcript

Hello, I'm Matthias Aydt, Global CEO of Faraday Future. I'm speaking to you again for the second time in just as many days. I want to ensure you are getting the latest information on what is happening at Faraday Future and hearing from me firsthand.

I shared some important updates on the company yesterday, including that we successfully met one of the two compliance deadlines we needed by filing our first quarter 10-Q.

I also gave updates on our financial situation, the China-U.S. Automotive Bridge Strategy, fundraising efforts and our successful Investor Community Day.

Today I want to share with you the results of our annual meeting of stockholders (or AGM as we call it).

We've been asking for our stockholders' support for this AGM and to vote in favor of the six proposals that were on the table - which were critical to the future of the company.

I'm very happy to report that all proposals were approved this morning.

Now while there were obviously many things that needed to be voted on, including the reelection of our Directors and the ratification of our accounting firm, I want to share with you the meaning of some of the key results. Basically what does this actually mean to the company and our stockholders.

In a nutshell, it means that with your vote and support FF can continue on a path for additional future strategic equity investments that could support a ramp up in production and delivery of our performance and technologically capable FF 91 2.0 EV. This is a terrific product and it deserves to continue being produced and sold in the marketplace.

But it also means that the approval of the reverse stock split proposal will help the Company meet the minimum bid price requirement necessary to maintain listing status on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe that it's important to help in our future fundraising efforts.

And lastly, we believe that the approved proposals could help support the development of a beneficial China-US automotive industry bridge strategy and could help accelerate our entry into the UAE, both of which we have mentioned in the past.

Everyone here at FF wants to express our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support and to thank you for your confidence and your vote at this recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

I look forward to sharing more updates and successes in the near future.
