As of June 17, 2026, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”), 351,244,672 shares were entitled to vote (collectively, the “Voting Shares”), consisting of 346,161,912 shares of FFAI Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”); 6,667 shares of FFAI Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, “Common Stock”); 5,071,258 shares of FFAI Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”); and 11,502 shares of FFAI Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”, and, collectively with Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). A total of 169,598,130 shares of Common Stock, 4,785,649 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and 11,502 shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were present at the Special Meeting, by virtual attendance or by proxy, constituting a quorum.
Set forth below are the final voting results, based on the certified final report provided by the inspector of elections of the Special Meeting, for Proposal 1, Proposal 2, and Proposal 3 (collectively, the “Proposals”), each of which is set forth below and described in detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
Proposal 1: Private Placement Proposal
The Company’s stockholders approved, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of senior convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to investors in a private placement offering in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million, pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), by and among the Company and investors named therein (each an “Investor”), the conversion of which and issuance into the Company’s Class A Common Stock would be equal to 20% or more of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such shares. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) within 45 calendar days of the Closing Date to register for resale 200% of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes, and seek effectiveness within 105 days following the Closing Date, and keep such Registration Statement effective at all times until no Investor owns any Notes or shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof. The final voting results are as follows:
| Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
| 104,320,304 | 2,322,259 | 230,709 | 111,747,199 |
Proposal 2: Name Change Proposal
The Company’s stockholders did not approve an amendment to the Company’s Charter to change the Company’s name from Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. to Faraday Future Physical AI Ecosystem Inc. as the total number of shares voting for such proposal was less than a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of FFAI Common Stock and FFAI Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. The final voting results are as follows:
| Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
| 145,312,739 | 71,277,813 | 2,029,919 | N/A |

| Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
