Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 27, 2023, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on September 26, 2023 the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, B. Riley Securities, Inc., A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, Wedbush Securities Inc. and Maxim Group, LLC (the “Sales Agents”) to sell shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $90,000,000 (the “Shares”), from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, sales of the Shares under the ATM Program, if any, will be made through the Sales Agents acting as sales agent or directly to the Sales Agents acting as principal, and will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in negotiated transactions or in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, in block transactions or by any other method permitted by law, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, or as otherwise agreed upon by one or more of the Sales Agents and the Company. If the Company sells Shares to the Sales Agents as principal, it will enter into a separate terms agreement with such Sales Agents.
The offering of Shares under the ATM Program pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of the maximum aggregate amount of the Shares subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of such Sales Agreement as permitted therein.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general working capital and corporate purposes, which may include investment in product and technology development, establishment of global sales and service networks, ramp-up of production, repayment or repurchase of outstanding debt, capital expenditures, potential joint ventures, acquisitions and other business opportunities and purposes.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Shares sold under the ATM Program will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272745), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 16, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on June 28, 2023, and the prospectus supplement filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, on September 26, 2023. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
The Company is filing as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K an opinion of O’Melveny & Myers LLP regarding certain matters of law, including the validity of the Shares sold under the ATM Program.
