Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. held a special stockholder meeting where investors approved a substantial increase in authorized capital. Authorized common stock will rise from 232,470,985 to 312,285,439 shares, and authorized preferred stock from 17,931,000 to 24,087,265 shares, expanding total authorized equity to 336,372,704 shares. This added capacity is intended to support near‑term capital planning, existing share issuance obligations, potential future financings, strategic transactions, and employee equity plans tied to the company’s 2026 strategy.

Stockholders did not approve a proposal to change the company’s name to Faraday Future AI Electric Vehicle Inc., while they did approve flexibility to adjourn the meeting if needed. The company highlights 2026 priorities including FX Super One vehicle production milestones and commercialization of embodied AI robotics products, and notes that the authorization increase alone does not immediately issue any new shares.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Significant capital shortfall and financing risk: The company states it needs additional share capital beyond what stockholders just approved and currently lacks it, warns of substantial required funding, potential heavy dilution from future share increases, and notes that failed financings could lead to seeking protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

Insights

Faraday Future gained room to issue more stock but still faces major funding and dilution risks.

Faraday Future’s stockholders approved a large increase in authorized common and preferred shares, giving the company more flexibility to issue equity for financing, strategic deals, and employee plans. The vote indicates support for management’s capital plan focused on 2026 vehicle and robotics initiatives.

However, the company explicitly states it needs additional share capital beyond what was approved on February 13, 2026 to fully execute its strategy and that it currently lacks this capital. It also warns that further stockholder approval to substantially increase share capital may be required and could cause substantial dilution.

The risk language notes the company must secure substantial funding, faces going‑concern and liquidity pressures, and that failure of future financing efforts could result in seeking protection under the Bankruptcy Code. Subsequent filings and financing announcements will clarify how much of the new authorization is actually used and on what terms.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Faraday Future Holds Special Meeting of Stockholders, Securing Approval for Share Authorization to Support 2026 FX Super One and EAI Robotics Deliveries

 

Stockholders approved an increase in authorized shares to support capital planning, FX Super One vehicle milestones and expansion of embodied AI (“EAI”) robotics initiatives.

 

Los Angeles, CA (Feb. 13, 2026) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ("Faraday Future", "FF" or "Company"), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the results of its Special Meeting of Stockholders held on February 13, 2026.

 

At the Special Meeting, stockholders approved the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and preferred stock.

 

The approval provides the Company with additional authorized share capacity to support its near-term capital planning needs and existing obligations to issue shares of Class A common stock, as well as potential future financings, strategic transactions, stock issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans, and other proper corporate purposes aligned with the Company’s 2026 business strategy.

 

The additional authorized share capacity is intended to support execution priorities for 2026, including advancement of FX Super One vehicle production milestones and continued development and commercialization of FF’s embodied AI robotics products. The approval relates solely to the authorization of additional shares and does not, by itself, result in the issuance of any shares.

 

FF continues to advance execution across its core programs, including progressing FX Super One toward mass production readiness and initial deliveries planned for this year, supported by updated Bridge Strategy agreements and assembly preparation at the FF AI-Factory in California.

 

In parallel, FF has launched its first series of embodied AI robotic products and commenced paid, non-binding pre-orders, with initial deliveries expected this month. Robotics production preparation, customization, testing, and AI data training are underway as the Company advances its dual-track strategy across EAI vehicles and EAI robotics.

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 FX Super One production and delivery, and robotics deliveries, 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, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include, among others: the Company’s ability to maintain its listing on Nasdaq; the need for additional share capital beyond what stockholders approved on February 13, 2026, to fully execute on its strategy, which the Company currently lacks; further agreement of stockholders to substantially increase the Company’s share capital, which could result in substantial additional dilution; 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 will be substantial; the ability of B2B preorder companies to identify purchasers for the Super One; overall demand for the Super One; the ability to secure the necessary agreements to produce an FX 4 vehicle or any other planned future FX vehicles, none of which have been secured; the Company’s ability to secure an occupancy certificate covering its Hanford facility; 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; 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 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 cover future warranty claims; 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-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, and Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025, August 19, 2025 and November 21, 2025, respectively, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.

FAQ

What did Faraday Future (FFAI) stockholders approve at the February 13, 2026 special meeting?

Stockholders approved increasing authorized Class A and Class B common stock and preferred stock, raising total authorized equity to 336,372,704 shares. This expansion supports near-term capital planning, existing share obligations, potential future financings, strategic transactions, and employee equity plans tied to Faraday Future’s 2026 business strategy.

Did Faraday Future (FFAI) approve changing its corporate name at the special meeting?

No. Stockholders did not approve changing the company’s name to Faraday Future AI Electric Vehicle Inc. The votes in favor were less than a majority of the voting power of outstanding common stock and Series B preferred stock, so the existing name, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., remains in place.

How many Faraday Future (FFAI) shares were entitled to vote and present at the special meeting?

As of the December 23, 2025 record date, 205,703,708 voting shares were entitled to vote. A total of 105,072,204 shares of common stock and Series B preferred stock, plus one Series A preferred share, were represented, about 51.08% of voting shares, satisfying quorum requirements.

What are Faraday Future’s 2026 priorities mentioned in the special meeting results press release?

The company highlights advancing FX Super One vehicle production toward mass production readiness and initial deliveries planned for 2026, while also developing and commercializing embodied AI robotics products. Updated bridge strategy agreements and preparation at the FF AI-Factory in California are cited as supporting these execution priorities.

Does the Faraday Future (FFAI) share authorization increase immediately dilute existing stockholders?

No. The approval only authorizes additional common and preferred shares and does not itself issue any shares. Dilution would occur later if the company actually issues new shares for financings, strategic transactions, employee plans, or other corporate purposes enabled by the expanded authorization.

What financial and liquidity risks does Faraday Future (FFAI) highlight alongside the share authorization approval?

Faraday Future warns it needs more share capital than approved to fully execute its strategy and currently lacks it, must secure substantial funding, faces going concern and liquidity challenges, and notes failure of future financings could result in seeking protection under the Bankruptcy Code, alongside potential substantial dilution.
