Faraday Future Receives Anticipated Letter from Nasdaq Regarding Form 10-K Filing

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company,” “Faraday Future,” or “FF”) (NASDAQ: FFIE), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced that the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on April 4, 2022 indicating that, because the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company does not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing.

On March 31, 2022, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “Form 12b-25”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and issued a press release announcing, among other things, that the Company was unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period. The Company indicated that it needed additional time to complete the additional investigative work and remedial work as recommended by a special committee of independent Company directors (the “Special Committee”) and to finalize the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures for both the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021 (“Q3 Form 10-Q”) and Form 10-K.

As previously disclosed, Nasdaq granted an exception giving the Company a new deadline of May 6, 2022 to file the Q3 Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K.

As a result of this additional delinquency, the Company must submit an update to its original plan to regain compliance by April 19, 2022. The Company intends to submit a timely update to its original plan.

As previously disclosed, Nasdaq has advised the Company that a failure to file the Q3 Form 10-Q and Form 10-K on or prior to May 6, 2022 would result in a notice of delisting of the Company’s securities. The Company would be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel and to request a further stay pending the appeal. The Company is working diligently to finalize and file the Q3 Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K as soon as practicable and currently expects to file both on or prior to the May 6, 2022 deadline, and to file its amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258993) (the “Form S-1/A”) promptly following the filing of the Form 10-K.
