Explanatory Note
 
 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, July 15, 2022, July 18, 2022, August 2, 2022, August 8, 2022, August 23, 2022, September 9, 2022, September 19, 2022, September 26, 2022, October 17, 2022, October 18, 2022, October 26, 2022, November 2, 2022, December 22, 2022, December 28, 2022, January 18, 2023, January 26, 2023, March 17, 2023 and May 12 2023 (as so amended through May 12, 2023, the “Original Schedule 13D” and together with this Amendment No. 22, the “Schedule 13D”).  Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 22 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 amended and supplemented by the following:
 
“On June 15, 2023, following discussions with the Issuer, FF Global Partners Investment LLC (“FF Investment”) provided its written consent (the “Class B Stockholder Consent”), for purposes of Article IV, Section 4.4 and Article VI, Section 6.1 of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer, as amended on November 22, 2022 and March 1, 2023 (the “Charter 01D;), Section 3.4 of the Amended Shareholder Agreement, and, to the extent required, Section 5.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 8, 2023, by and between Metaverse Horizon Limited and V W Investment Holding Limited and the Issuer, FF Investment as the sole owner of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock, (i) to the execution by the Company of that certain Purchase Agreement, dated June 16, 2023 (the “Series A Preferred Stock SPA”), by and between Xeufeng Chen, the Global Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and the Issuer and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder (including the issuance and sale to Xeufeng Chen of a single share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the Series A Preferred Stock SPA)  and (ii) approved the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock, dated June 16, 2023 (the “CoD”).
 
Such consent is subject to the following conditions being and remaining satisfied, among others: (i) the Series A Preferred Stock SPA and the CoD being executed in the forms that were provided to FF Investment, (ii) no more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock being issued in the aggregate, (iii) the Company’s reverse stock split proposal being substantially as set forth in the PRE 14A filed by the Issuer with the SEC on June 16, 2023 (with any deviations therefrom that would impact the rights or obligations of FF Investment requiring a further written consent from FF Investment), (iv) the Series A Preferred Stock not having the right to vote with respect to any matter other than the reverse stock split proposal and matters incidental thereto (such as the adjournment or postponement of any stockholder meeting held with respect to such reverse stock split proposal) and (v) the Series A Preferred Stock being automatically redeemed and cancelled pursuant to its terms immediately following the final tabulation of votes with respect to the reverse stock split proposal (with, for the avoidance of doubt, no more shares thereof to be thereafter issued without the further prior written consent of the holders of the Class B Common Stock).
 
The above description of the Class B Stockholder Consent does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Class B Stockholder Consent, which is filed as Exhibit 17 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
The Reporting Persons currently expect to continue to have discussions with the Company with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and the reverse stock split proposal contemplated by the PRE 14A and to use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to support the Company in the effectuation of the reverse stock split contemplated by the PRE 14A, including without limitation, by voting in favor of such proposal at the meeting of the Company’s stockholders contemplated to be called therefor.  In addition, certain representatives of the Reporting Persons may in their capacities as consultants for the Company assist the Company in its efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the reverse stock split proposal contemplated by the PRE 14A.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

“On June 20, 2023, the Reporting Persons received notice from parties to the Voting Agreements (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D) that the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by certain of such parties had changed. As a result, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which FF Investment holds an irrevocable proxy and voting control decreased by 8,308,307 shares, from 52,056,142 to 43,747,835. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 107,748,423 shares, or 7.87% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the date hereof, based on 1,368,573,270 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. Assumes the conversion of the Class B Common Stock referred to above into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis. There have been no changes to the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of 1,180,169 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by Pacific Technology Holding LLC (with respect to which FF Investment has an irrevocable proxy and voting control) and 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by FF Investment.”

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
 
“The information included in Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.”

Item 7.
Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented to include the following exhibit:

Exhibit 17
