Faraday Future Founder and Co-CEO, YT Jia, Shares Weekly Investor Update

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
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 Co-CEO of FF.

“Promises made, promises kept. Welcome to our third FF Co-CEO Investor Weekly Update.

This week, we welcomed a number of important clients—from a Californian limousine and livery association to several groups of our core suppliers, including Tier One suppliers from China. A very busy and very fulfilling week, to say the least.

Let me share our progress on this week’s key goals:

Start with S1 User Ecosystem:

1, We’ve announced that FF’s Annual Stockholders’ Day will be held on May 31. This will be a valuable opportunity to meet our stockholders face-to-face, listen to their suggestions, and engage in open dialogue. That evening, I’ll join a dinner with a group of long-time supporters and members of our executive team.

2, On Friday, we welcomed the Greater California Livery Association (GCLA) to our headquarters for an in-depth FF and FX drive-and-ride experience. More importantly, we held focused B2B procurement discussions, and the feedback on our potential FX products was overwhelmingly positive. The FX Super One, in particular, left a strong impression. As a First Class AI-MPV unlike anything currently available in the U.S. market, it delivered a truly disruptive experience for GCLA board members and top-tier luxury transportation providers across California.

If we can collaborate with GCLA in the future, it could help us expand into a much broader luxury livery market across the U.S., which means larger-scale B2B sales potential for both FF and FX.

3, Next week, we plan to launch a new module under our B2B and Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales, which is the innovative B2B pre-order acquisition from livestream e-commerce MCN agencies. We’re optimistic about the early momentum and look forward to sharing updates hopefully next week.

Going to S5 Finance and Capital Markets:

Many stockholders have been closely following our management share purchase plan. I want to let you know that we’ve been actively and steadily pushing this forward this week. We’ve already selected a U.S.-based brokerage firm that specializes in executive stock purchase programs. Some members of the management team, including myself, have submitted the necessary paperwork expressing our intent to establish a 10b5-1 purchase plan when permitted.

As a U.S.-listed company, we must strictly follow compliance procedures when management purchases shares. This includes making purchases only during open trading windows, setting up 10b5-1 plans in advance, and ensuring there is no material non-public information (MNPI) involved. While these requirements may seem tedious, they are designed to ensure equality of information, protecting the rights of all investors.

I’ll keep you all updated as soon as there’s any progress.

Let’s look at Government Relations under S7 Capability and System Build-Up,

This Saturday, FX CEO Max Ma was invited to attend the “America’s Revival” event held at President Trump’s private residence, Mar-a-Lago. The FF 91 made its debut at Mar-a-Lago and wowed the entire audience. Max joined senior leaders from both the U.S. political and business communities for a private luncheon, where he shared in-depth insights on the strategic value of FF, FX, and the Global Automotive Bridge Strategy. Key policy topics such as tariffs and subsidy programs were also discussed. This continues the dialogue we began a few weeks ago in the meeting with Hailey Borden, Special Assistant to the President, and marks our latest progress on the government relations and strategic cooperation. Max will share more details on this.

Now, let’s talk about the problems and what we’ve learned.

One reason behind our previous delays in financial reporting—and why executive share purchases couldn’t move forward as planned—lies in weaknesses in our financial system, especially in accounting, reporting, and internal controls.

That’s why, after I was appointed as the Co-CEO, one of my top priorities has been to fully resolve these issues. This week, we officially launched a company-wide task force focused on tackling our material weaknesses.

We’re also expanding our finance team. In addition to the senior advisors who joined FF over the past two weeks, we’re planning to bring in external consultants to help streamline processes and address legacy issues more efficiently.

Now, here’s a look at what’s coming up next week.

Project execution across FX—including Super One—is moving full speed ahead. And I want to give you a heads-up on two key events:

On S1 User Ecosystem

I’ve been invited to speak (virtually) next week at the BEYOND Expo 2025 B-GLOBAL Summit in Macau. My video keynote will be on the morning of the 22nd (Beijing time), where I’ll share insights on the automotive industry’s transformation, the shift from traditional industries to AI, the bridge from Web2 to Web3, and the evolution of ecosystem paradigms. FX CEO Max will be there as well, joining a more focused dialogue on key topics—stay tuned.

Turning to S6 Middle East,

An event has been scheduled for our Middle East facility next week. We will be sharing update on our progress.

The team is firing on all cylinders, the pace has picked up, and more and more people are starting to recognize the unique value of what we’ve built—a rare breed in today’s EV landscape. See you all next week.”
