Faraday
Future Announced that It has Entered Into Incremental Warrant Termination Agreements With Each March 2025 Financing Investor as It Continues
to Make Progress in Reducing Its Debt and Improving Its Capital Structure
| ● | Under
the Termination Agreement, the Company has cancelled all 21,021,369 outstanding Incremental Warrants issued in the 1st to 3rd closings
pursuant to its March 2025 Financing, permanently removing the potential dilution associated with their future exercise. |
Los
Angeles, CA (Sept. 1, 2026) – Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF”
or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today announced that it has entered into
Incremental Warrant Termination Agreements with each investor from its March 2025 convertible note financing (the “March 2025 Financing”
and each such investor, a “March Investor”). With the support of all participating investors, the Company continues to make
progress in reducing its debt and improving its capital structure.
Under
the Termination Agreement, the Company has cancelled all 21,021,369 outstanding Incremental Warrants issued in the 1st to 3rd closings
pursuant to the March 2025 Financing, permanently removing the potential dilution associated with their future exercise. Based on the
current $5.00 conversion floor price for outstanding convertible notes issued pursuant to the March 2025 Financing, the exercise of these
Incremental Warrants could have resulted in approximately 45% of potential maximum dilution. Along with the amendment agreement the Company
entered into with each March Investor dated as of August 20, 2026, which eliminated the Company’s obligation to issue common warrants
and incremental warrants at future March 2025 Financing closings, all common warrants and Incremental Warrants under March 2025 SPA have
now been fully cancelled. On a fully diluted basis, the cancellation eliminates approximately 57.48% of the potential dilution associated
with the March 2025 Financing, further reducing the Company’s dilution overhang and optimizing its capital structure.
Following
the second quarter, the two optimization actions taken with respect to the liabilities arising from the March 2025 Financing are expected
to directly reduce the approximately $5.794 million in fair-value-measured liabilities disclosed in the Company’s previously reported
second-quarter financial results. This reduction represents a meaningful improvement to the Company’s balance sheet and liability profile.
“These
Incremental Warrant Termination Agreements represent another concrete step in delivering on our commitment to capital value restoration
and represents our latest action to reduce the Company’s potential dilution, reducing debt and optimizing our capital structure,”
said Jerry Wang, Executive Chairman of FF.

FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
press release includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this press release, the words “plan to,” “can,” “will,”
“should,” “future,” “potential,” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative
versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which include
statements regarding FF’s vehicle business and FF’s entry into the embodied AI robotics market, involve a number of known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, which could cause actual
results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Important
factors, that may affect actual results or outcomes include, among others: the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and improve
its liquidity and financial position; the Company’s ability to pay its outstanding obligations, which it currently lacks; the availability
of sufficient share capital to meet its current obligations and execute on its strategy; the willingness of convertible debt investors
to fund the Company; demand for the Company’s robotics products; the ability of B2B preorder companies to locate customers to purchase
our robotics products, on which their nonbinding preorders substantially depend; competition in the robotics industry, which includes
companies with far superior experience, funding and name recognition; the ability of the Company to build an EAI education ecosystem
that serves both the B2C consumer market and the B2B institutional education market; the acceptance by teachers and students of the Company’s
robotics products in the education market; the ability of the Company to expand into additional markets for its robotics products; the
Company’s reliance on a single OEM for most of its robotics products; the Company’s reliance on Chinese OEMs for all of its robotics
products; the possibility of the federal government banning imports of Chinese robotics products; the Company’s ability to get the planned
robotics products to comply with all applicable U.S. rules and regulations; the ability of the robotics OEM to timely supply robotics
to the Company; tariff uncertainty for imported products, particularly from China; demand from automobile dealers for robotics products;
the Company’s ability to homologate FX vehicles for sale; the Company’s ability to secure the necessary funding to execute on the FX
strategy, which is substantial; the Company’s ability to secure an occupancy certificate covering all of its Hanford facility; the Company’s
ability to remediate its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the risks related to the restatement of
previously issued consolidated financial statements; the Company’s limited operating history and the significant barriers to growth it
faces; the Company’s history of substantial losses and expectation of continued losses; the success of the Company’s payroll expense
reduction plan; the Company’s ability to execute on its plans to develop and market its vehicles and the timing of these development
programs; the Company’s estimates of the size of the markets for its vehicles and cost to bring those vehicles to market; the rate and
degree of market acceptance of the Company’s vehicles; the Company’s ability to cover future warranty claims; the success of other competing
manufacturers; the performance and security of the Company’s vehicles; current and potential litigation involving the Company; the Company’s
ability to receive funds from, satisfy the conditions precedent of and close on the various financings described elsewhere by the Company;
the result of future financing efforts, the failure of any of which could result in the Company seeking protection under the Bankruptcy
Code; the Company’s indebtedness; the Company’s ability to use its “at-the-market” program; insurance coverage; general economic
and market conditions impacting demand for the Company’s products; potential negative impacts of a reverse stock split; potential cost,
headcount and salary reduction actions may not be sufficient or may not achieve their expected results; circumstances outside of the
Company’s control, such as natural disasters, climate change, health epidemics and pandemics, terrorist attacks, and civil unrest; risks
related to the Company’s operations in China; the success of the Company’s remedial measures taken in response to the Special Committee
findings; the Company’s dependence on its suppliers and contract manufacturer; the Company’s ability to develop and protect its technologies;
the Company’s ability to protect against cybersecurity risks; and the ability of the Company to attract and retain employees, any adverse
developments in existing legal proceedings or the initiation of new legal proceedings, and volatility of the Company’s stock price. You
should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section
of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 filed with the SEC on August 13, 2026; the quarter ended March 31, 2026,
filed with the SEC on May 14, 2026, and Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026, and other documents filed by the Company from
