Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. hat eine neu bezeichnete Serie‑A‑Vorzugsaktie an Matthias Aydt für $100 ausgegeben. Die Aktie ist nicht wandelbar, gewährt keine Dividenden und verleiht 5,000,000,000 Stimmen, die nur im Zusammenhang mit einem vom Vorstand genehmigten 'Share Authorization Proposal' ausgeübt werden können und dann nur im gleichen Verhältnis, in dem die Inhaber der Stammaktien Klasse A und Klasse B tatsächlich abstimmen (Stimmenthaltungen ausgenommen). Die Serie A wird über diesen Vorschlag nicht abstimmen, es sei denn, mindestens ein Drittel der ausstehenden Stammaktien ist persönlich oder durch Vollmacht vertreten.

Der Inhaber der Serie A hat eine Liquidationspräferenz von $100, Übertragungsbeschränkungen bis zur Zustimmung der Aktionäre sowie Rückzahlungsrechte, um $100 entweder nach Ermessen des Vorstands oder automatisch nach Genehmigung der Aktionärsanträge zu erhalten. Das Certificate of Designation und der Kaufvertrag sind als Anlagen eingereicht.

Positive
  • Transaction completed and documented: The Purchase Agreement and Certificate of Designation are filed as exhibits.
  • Clear economic terms: The Series A carries a $100 liquidation preference and is redeemable for $100, creating a defined exit amount.
  • Sale to an accredited investor: The purchaser is an accredited investor and the sale was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2).
Negative
  • Disproportionate voting power: One share carries 5,000,000,000 votes, concentrating influence over the Share Authorization Proposal.
  • Changes shareholder approval mechanics: The Series A votes together with Common and Series B stock, altering the calculation of a majority for the proposal.
  • Abstentions reduced in effect: Because the Series A mirrors votes actually cast (excluding abstentions), abstentions and non-votes no longer influence how the Series A vote is cast.
  • Transfer restrictions: The Series A cannot be transferred before stockholder approval without board consent, limiting fluidity of ownership.

Insights

TL;DR: A single $100 share grants outsized voting power, materially altering shareholder voting dynamics and reducing the effect of abstentions.

The Series A Certificate of Designation creates a concentrated governance lever: one non-convertible share carries 5,000,000,000 votes limited to a single category of corporate action (the Share Authorization Proposal). Because the Series A vote will mirror votes actually cast by Common Stock holders (excluding abstentions), the technical effect of abstentions is diminished relative to the prior structure. Transfer restrictions prior to stockholder approval and the ability of the board to redeem the share for $100 add procedural controls. This is a material governance change that alters how a key corporate amendment will be decided.

TL;DR: Economically immaterial sale ($100) but constitutes a material change to voting structure that investors should note.

The economic terms are minimal: the Purchaser paid $100 and holds a $100 liquidation preference, and the share is not convertible and receives no dividends. The sale was made to an accredited investor and exempt from registration. However, the governance terms — 5,000,000,000 votes tied to a specific authorization proposal, transfer restrictions, and board redemption rights — are material because they change the mechanics of shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares. From a securities perspective, the transaction is small financially but significant procedurally.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Purchase Agreement

 

On August 5, 2025, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Matthias Aydt (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one (1) share of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), to the Purchaser for a purchase price of $100.00. The closing of the sale and purchase of the share of Series A Preferred Stock was completed on August 6, 2025.

 

Additional information regarding the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock is set forth under Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to cast the votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred Stock on the Share Authorization Proposal (defined below) in the same proportion as shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) and shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) are voted (excluding any shares of Common Stock that are not voted, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise) on the Share Authorization Proposal; provided, that unless and until at least one-third (1/3rd) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the record date established for the meeting of stockholders at which the Share Authorization Proposal is presented are present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting, the Purchaser will not vote the share of Series A Preferred Stock on the Share Authorization Proposal. The “Share Authorization Proposal” means any proposal approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and submitted to the stockholders of the Company to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosure included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” and the offer and sale of the share of Series A Preferred Stock was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The disclosure included in Item 5.03 related to the Series A Certificate of Designation (as defined below) is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference. Prior to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, stockholder approval of the Share Authorization Proposal required the affirmative approval of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Following the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, stockholder approval of the Share Authorization Proposal requires affirmative approval from a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the share of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. The Purchaser will cast the votes represented by the share of Series A Preferred Stock on the Share Authorization Proposal in a manner that mirrors the votes cast by holders of Common Stock on the Share Authorization Proposal. Prior to the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock, abstentions and any other non-votes would have had the same effect as a vote against the Share Authorization Proposal. Following the issuance of the share of Series A Preferred Stock, abstentions and any other non-votes on the Share Authorization Proposal will still technically have the same effect as a vote against such proposal, but because the share of Series A Preferred Stock has a high number of votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast by the holders of Common Stock (which does not include abstentions or any other non-votes), abstentions and any other non-votes will have no effect on the manner in which the Series A Preferred Stock votes are cast.

 

Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Certificate of Designation of Preferences Designating the Series A Preferred Stock

 

On August 6, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The Series A Certificate of Designation became effective upon filing. Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation:

Voting.

The share of Series A Preferred Stock will vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on the Share Authorization Proposal. The Series A Preferred Stock has no other voting rights, except as may be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Rank; Liquidation. Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to which assets of the Company or consideration received by the Company are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $100.00.

 

Transfer Restrictions. The Series A Preferred Stock may not be transferred at any time prior to stockholder approval of the Share Authorization Proposal without the prior written consent of the Board.

 

Redemption. The outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, for a redemption price of $100.00, payable out of funds lawfully available therefor, upon the earlier of (i) any time such redemption is ordered by the Company’s Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the stockholders of the Company of both Shareholder Proposals.
