On the same day, the Company entered into notes payable agreements with Ares for an aggregate principal of $55,000, receiving net proceeds of $51,510, inclusive of a 4.00% original issue discount and $90 of debt issuance costs paid directly by the lender. The notes payable are collateralized by a first lien on virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and bear interest at 14% per annum. The notes payable mature on the earliest of (i) March 1, 2022, (ii) October 6, 2021, if the Qualified SPAC Merger contemplated in the Merger Agreement has not been consummated by July 27, 2021, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the occurrence of an acceleration event, such as a default. The Company has elected the fair value option because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative. Additionally, the notes payable agreements contain a minimum cash provision, which requires the Company to maintain at least $5,000 of cash on hand at all times. The Company has classified the related $5,000 in Restricted Cash on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021. In addition, in conjunction with the issuance of the notes payable, the Company committed to issue warrants to the lender to purchase the Company’s Class A Ordinary Stock no later than August 11, 2021, or, if earlier, 15 days after consummation of the Merger. The warrants will have a term of 6 years, be equal to 0.20% of the fully diluted capitalization of FFIE’s Class A Common Stock and have an exercise price of $10 per share. The warrants meet the definition of a derivative, were accounted for as a liability, and will be marked to fair value at the end of each reporting period with the changes in fair market value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company determined the commitment to issue warrants was a liability as of March 1, 2021, and estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $5,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model under two scenarios (See Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments June 30, Outstanding principal $ 55,000 Accrued interest 654 Interest expense 654 Original issue discount 3,490 Debt issuance costs recorded in interest expense 315 Principal payments — Interest payments — Net proceeds $ 51,510 (2) On January 13, 2021, the Company amended the NPA to permit the issuance of additional notes payable and issued $3,750 of notes payable to Birch Lake, receiving net proceeds of $3,510, inclusive of a 6.50% original issue discount, and $225 of debt issuance costs paid directly by the lender. The additional secured convertible notes payable issued to Birch Lake (“BL Notes”) accrue interest at 8% per annum. The BL Notes mature on the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the acceleration of the NPA obligations in the event of a default. Additionally, the BL Notes contain a liquidation premium that ranges from 35% to 45% depending on the timing of settlement, with 50% of this premium convertible into equity. Birch Lake can demand repayment of the BL Notes if an event of default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger occurs. The Company determined that the feature to settle the BL Notes at a premium upon the occurrence of a default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger is a contingently exercisable put option with a liquidation premium and represents an embedded derivative. The Company elected the fair value option for this note payable (See Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into a notes payable agreement under the NPA, as amended, with Birch Lake with a total principal of $5,600, receiving net proceeds of $5,240, inclusive of a 6.50% original issue discount and $307 of debt issuance costs paid directly by the lender. The notes payable matures on the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, as defined in the note agreement, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the occurrence of an acceleration event, such as a default. The notes payable bear interest at 15.75% per annum. Additionally, the notes payable contain a liquidation premium that ranges from 42% to 52% depending on timing of settlement, with 50% of this premium convertible into equity. Birch Lake can demand repayment if an event of default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger occurs. The Company determined that the feature to settle the notes payable at a premium upon the occurrence of a default, change in control, or a Qualified SPAC Merger is a contingently exercisable put option with a liquidation premium and represents an embedded derivative. The Company has elected to measure the notes payable at fair value because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, which meet the definition of an embedded derivative. June 30, Outstanding principal $ 9,350 Accrued interest — Interest expense 177 Original issue discount 1,132 Debt issuance costs recorded in interest expense 1,502 Principal payments — Interest payments 177 Net proceeds $ 8,218 (3) On January 13, 2021, the Company entered into a notes payable agreement under the NPA, as amended, (“January 13 Notes”) with a US-based investment firm for total principal of $11,250, receiving net proceeds of $10,350, inclusive of an 8% original issue discount and $480 of debt issuance costs paid directly by the lender.

The note payable matures on the earliest of (i) October 6, 2021, (ii) the consummation of a Qualified SPAC Merger, (iii) the occurrence of a change in control, or (iv) the occurrence of an acceleration event, such as an event of default. In the event the Company consummates a Qualified SPAC Merger, an amount equal to 130% of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued original issue discount under the notes through (but not including) the date of consummation of the Qualified SPAC Merger will automatically convert into Common Stock of PSAC received by the Company’s Class A ordinary stockholders and the notes and interest shall be deemed satisfied in full and terminated.

The warrants were issued with a term of seven years and are subject to certain down-round adjustments. The fair value of the warrants was recorded in equity in accordance with the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $1,988 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (See Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments On June 9, 2021, the Company amended the NPA to permit the issuance of two notes payable, each with a principal value of $20,000 (“June 2021 Notes”), to a US-based investment firm.

The June 2021 Notes mature on December 9, 2022, and do not bear interest unless extended beyond its maturity date by the US-based investment firm, in which case, the June 2021 Notes will bear interest at 10% per annum starting upon their original maturity.

The June 2021 Notes contain a liquidation premium that, upon a Qualified SPAC Merger, the then outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes playable plus a 30% premium will convert into Class A Ordinary Stock of the Company. The Company received net proceeds of $35,603 as part of the June 2021 Notes. As part of the Amendment to the NPA, on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Qualified SPAC Merger, the US-based investment firm has the option to purchase additional notes for up to $40,000 (“Optional Notes”), subject to similar original issue discounts as the June 2021 Notes. The June 2021 Notes and the Optional Notes, along with the notes previously issued to the same lender, are provided with an anti-dilution protection.

The Company received no cash proceeds as the increase in principal was used to pay a consent fee to the US-based investment firm. The Company recorded the consent fee in Interest Expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The consent fee permitted the issuance of additional notes payable to the US-based investment firm of $11,250 and $7,000, as described in (3) above. (5) On January 13, 2021, the Company amended the NPA to issue an additional note to Birch Lake, with the same terms as its $15,000 note payable to Birch Lake, in the amount of $666. The Company received no cash proceeds as the additional note was used to pay a consent fee to Birch Lake. The Company recorded the consent fee in Interest Expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The notes payable originally matured on December 31, 2020, bear interest of 12.00% per annum, have no covenants, and are unsecured. On December 31, 2020, the notes payable were modified to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2021 and add a conversion feature. The conversion feature, which is contingent upon the closing of a Qualified SPAC Merger, requires the Company to issue Class A ordinary shares to the lender based on a fixed conversion ratios immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified SPAC Merger to settle the outstanding note payable before being exchanged for Qualified SPAC Merger shares upon the Qualified SPAC Merger closing date. The modification has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring because the Company is experiencing financial difficulty and the conversion mechanism results in the effective borrowing rate decreasing after the restructuring. Since the future undiscounted cash flows of the restructured notes payable exceed the net carrying value of the original note payable due to the maturity date extension, the modification has been accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company concluded that the conversion feature does not require bifurcation based on the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. As of and for the Year Ended 2020 2019 Outstanding principal $ 57,293 $ 53,185 Accrued interest 13,769 6,382 Interest expense 7,387 6,382 Unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on principal 4,108 (994 ) Unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on accrued interest — — Principal payments — — Interest payments — — Proceeds — — (2) The Company issued 10% interest notes with various third parties through the NPA: ● Between November and December 2018, the Company borrowed $11,100 through notes payable from a U.S. based investment firm.

In April 2019, these notes payable were cancelled, and the outstanding principal and accrued interest of $8,100 and $481, respectively, was contributed to the NPA executed on April 29, 2019. No loss or gain was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019, on contribution as the net carrying amount of the notes payable equaled the reacquisition price. In April 2019, the Company executed a joinder agreement to the NPA with a U.S. based investment firm for a convertible note payable with total principal of $8,581. The convertible note payable originally matured on May 31, 2020. The interest rate, collateral, and covenants are the same as the NPA. Upon both a preferred stock offering and prepayment notice by the holder or the maturity date of the notes payable, the holder of the note payable may elect to convert all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the note payable plus a 20% premium into shares of preferred stock of the Company issued in a preferred stock offering. The Company elected the fair value option for these notes payable. See Note 4 Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The note payable is collateralized by virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The NPA contains non-financial covenants and as of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The Company elected the fair value option for the notes payable through the NPA. See Note 4 Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of the note payable was $10,246 and $10,198 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The note payable originally matured on March 6, 2020 and bore interest of 10% per annum. The fair value of the note payable was $1,075 and $1,069 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(3) The Company issued the following notes with an interest rate of 12.00% per annum. ● In December 2016, the Company borrowed $10,000 through notes payable issued by a U.S. based investment firm. The notes originally matured on December 31, 2019, have no covenants and are unsecured. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company converted $600 of accrued interest into the principal balance of the notes payable. On November 24, 2020, the note payable was modified to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2021 and add a conversion feature. This feature, contingent upon the closing of a Qualified SPAC Merger, requires the Company to issue Class A ordinary Stock to the lender based on a fixed conversion ratio immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified SPAC Merger to settle the outstanding notes payable before being exchanged for Qualified SPAC Merger shares upon the Qualified SPAC Merger closing date. The modification has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring because the Company is experiencing financial difficulty and the conversion mechanism results in the effective borrowing rate decreasing after the restructuring which was determined to be a concession. Since the future undiscounted cash flows of the restructured notes payable exceed the net carrying value of the original note payable due to the maturity date extension, the modification has been accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company concluded that the conversion features do not require bifurcation based on the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity. As of and for the Year Ended 2020 2019 Outstanding principal $ 10,600 $ 10,600 Accrued interest 2,547 1,272 Interest expense 1,275 1,272 Unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on principal — — Unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on accrued interest — — Principal payments — — Interest payments — 600 Proceeds — — During 2020, the Company identified an immaterial error in the disclosure of accrued interest as of December 31, 2019 and adjusted the prior year amounts for such error. This correction did not impact the current and previously reported consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, statement of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and consolidated statement of cash flows. ● In December 2016, the Company borrowed $1,500 through a note payable from a U.S. based investment firm. The note originally matured on December 31, 2019, has no covenants and is unsecured. On September 25, 2020, the note payable was modified to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2021 and add a conversion feature. This feature, contingent upon the closing of a Qualified SPAC Merger, requires the Company to issue Class A ordinary stock to the lender based on a fixed conversion ratio immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified SPAC Merger to settle the outstanding notes payable before being exchanged for Qualified SPAC Merger shares upon the Qualified SPAC Merger closing date. The modification has been accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring because the Company is experiencing financial difficulty and the conversion mechanism results in the effective borrowing rate decreasing after the restructuring which was determined to be a concession. Since the future undiscounted cash flows of the restructured notes payable exceed the net carrying value of the original note payable due to the maturity date extension, the modification has been accounted for prospectively with no gain or loss recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company concluded that the conversion features do not require bifurcation based on the derivative accounting scope exception in ASC 815 for certain contracts involving an entity’s own equity.
