AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO SCHEDULE 13D

Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer on August 2, 2021, as amended on May 17, 2022, June 24, 2022, June 27, 2022 and July 15, 2022 (as so amended through July 15, 2022, the “Original Schedule 13D” and together with this Amendment No. 5, the “Schedule 13D”).  Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

“On July 15, 2022, following a request from the Issuer, FF Top agreed to extend the expiration date and time of its Proposed Financing Term Sheet, delivered to the Issuer on July 15, 2022 (and further described on Amendment No. 4 to this Schedule 13D), from 11:59 pm New York time on Saturday, July 16, 2022 to 11:59 pm New York time on Monday, July 18, 2022.   The Reporting Persons hope that the Issuer’s Board of Directors takes advantage of FF Top’s extension of the Term Sheet expiration date to constructively engage with FF Top towards achieving a financing for the Issuer, which the Reporting Persons believe would be in the Issuer’s best interests.

The Reporting Persons are concerned that a subset of the Board of Directors (including Mr. Brian Krolicki) is not treating FF Top’s proposal with the gravity, urgency and fairness it deserves in light of the Issuer’s financial condition and the current adverse financing market conditions.  The Reporting Persons believe that this is the same subset of board members that is driving the Issuer to breach its obligations under the Shareholder Agreement to take all “Necessary Action” (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement) to remove Mr. Brian Krolicki from the Issuer’s Board of Directors and replace him with Ms. Li Han, who is FF Top’s new “FF Top Designee” (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement).

The Reporting Persons continue to urge all members of the Board of Directors to exercise their respective independent fiduciary duties in the interests of the Issuer and all of its stockholders in order to secure the financing needed to safeguard the Issuer’s future and successfully deliver the FF91.  The Reporting Persons further continue to urge all board members to cause the Issuer to comply with the Shareholder Agreement and promptly call a special stockholders meeting so that stockholders may vote on removing Mr. Krolicki from the Board of Directors, to the extent that Mr. Krolicki continues to refuse to immediately resign.”
