#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

You are receiving this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board is soliciting your vote at the Special Meeting. This Proxy Statement summarizes material information with respect to the Special Meeting and the proposals being voted upon thereat. You may cast your vote over the Internet, by telephone or by completing and mailing the proxy card by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card.

#### How can I attend the Special Meeting?
Stockholders as of the Record Date (or their authorized representatives) may attend, vote and submit questions virtually at the Special Meeting by logging in at <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FFIE2023SM</u>. To log in, stockholders (or their authorized representatives) will need the control number provided on their proxy card or voting instruction form. If you are not a stockholder or do not have a control number, you may still access the Special Meeting as a guest, but you will not be able to submit questions or vote at the Special Meeting.

The Special Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, on February 28, 2023. We encourage you to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time.

#### What proposals will be voted on at the Special Meeting? What is the Board's voting recommendation?
At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal and the Share Authorization Proposal.

#### THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING "FOR" THE YORKVILLE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL AND "FOR" THE SHARE AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL.

#### Will any other business not discussed in this Proxy Statement come before the Special Meeting?
No. Pursuant to the Bylaws, any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

#### What is the quorum requirement?
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold the Special Meeting and vote upon the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal and the Share Authorization Proposal. A majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, the holders of which are present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum. On the Record Date, there were 688,277,478 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 344,138,740 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

If there is no quorum, the Special Meeting may be adjourned by the holders of a majority of shares present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy or by the chairperson of the meeting.

#### Who is entitled to vote?
The Record Date for the Special Meeting is the close of business on January 31, 2023.

3<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a bank, broker or other nominee, and you decide to attend and vote at the Special Meeting, your vote at the Special Meeting will not be effective unless you present a legal proxy, issued in your name from the record holder (your bank, broker or other nominee).

#### If I vote in advance, can I still attend the Special Meeting?
Yes. You are encouraged to vote promptly by returning your signed proxy card by mail or, if applicable, by appointing a proxy to vote electronically via the Internet or by telephone so that your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting. However, returning your proxy card does not affect your right to attend the Special Meeting.

**How many votes are required for the approval of the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal and the Share Authorization Proposal, and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?**

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote is required for the approval of the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal. A stockholder may abstain from voting with respect to the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will have the same effect as a vote against the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal. Broker discretionary voting is not permitted for the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal, and broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum and will have no effect on the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company with the power to vote thereon is required for the approval of the Share Authorization Proposal. A stockholder may abstain from voting with respect to the Share Authorization Proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will have the same effect as a vote against the Share Authorization Proposal. Broker discretionary voting is permitted for the Share Authorization Proposal, and broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote against the Share Authorization Proposal.

#### What are the consequences if the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal is not approved?
If the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Company will not be able to raise capital through the issuance of shares pursuant to advances of Class A Common Stock under the SEPA under a certain price per share in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The failure to obtain approval of the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal may also hinder the Company from obtaining future financing.

#### What are the consequences if the Share Authorization Proposal is not approved?
If the Share Authorization Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Charter will not be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 815,000,000 to 1,690,000,000. The failure to obtain approval of the Share Authorization Proposal may also hinder the Company from meeting its existing obligations to issue shares of Common Stock as and if they become due, from obtaining future financing and from meeting the goals of its compensation strategy.

#### How will my shares be voted if I return a blank proxy card or voting instruction form?
If your shares are registered in your name, you must sign and return a proxy card in order for your shares to be voted, unless you vote via the Internet or by telephone, or vote at the Special Meeting. If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed. If you execute the proxy card and do not provide voting instructions on any given matter, your shares will be voted in accordance with our Board's recommendations on that matter. We urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, or vote via the Internet or by telephone as instructed on the proxy card, whether or not you plan to vote at the Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in "street name" (that is, held for your account by a broker, bank or other nominee), you will receive a voting instruction form from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Your broker is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, then your shares may not be voted by your broker, bank or other nominee with regards to the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal, but your shares may

4<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
be voted by your broker, bank or other nominee in their discretion with regards to the Share Authorization proposal. If your broker, bank or other nominee executes the proxy card and does not provide voting instructions on any given matter, your shares will be voted in accordance with our Board's recommendations on that matter. We urge you to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares in accordance with our Board's recommendations on the voting instruction form, whether or not you plan to vote at the Special Meeting.

#### What is the deadline for submitting a proxy?
To ensure that proxies are received in time to be counted prior to the Special Meeting, proxies submitted by Internet or by telephone should be received by 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the day prior to the date of the Special Meeting, and proxies submitted by mail should be received by the close of business on the day prior to the date of the Special Meeting.

#### What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card from the Company?
If you hold your shares in more than one account, you will receive a proxy card for each account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please complete, sign, date and return a proxy card for each account or use the proxy card for each account to vote by Internet or by telephone. To ensure that all of your shares are represented at the Special Meeting, we recommend that you vote every proxy card that you receive.

The rules of procedure, including the topics and types of questions that will be accepted, will be posted on the Special Meeting website during the Special Meeting. To ensure the orderly conduct of the Special Meeting, we encourage you to submit questions in advance. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition. Stockholders must have available their control number provided on their proxy card to ask questions during the Special Meeting.

Only questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints, and in accordance with our rules of conduct for the Special Meeting, which will be posted on the meeting center website.

The Company anticipates that the 2023 Annual Meeting will be held after the Special Meeting.

#### RISK FACTORS
***An increase in authorized shares of Company stock from 900,000,000 to 1,775,000,000 may not be sufficient to effectuate all of the financings needed for the Company to reach cash flow break even.***

If the Share Authorization Proposal is approved, the Company will adopt an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 815,000,000 to 1,690,000,000, increasing the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company ("Preferred Stock") from 900,000,000 to 1,775,000,000. The increase in authorized shares of Class A Common Stock will allow the Company to meet its existing obligations to issue shares of Class A Common Stock as and if they become due, to obtain future financing, and to meet the goals of its compensation strategy. However, an increase in authorized shares of Company stock from 900,000,000 to 1,775,000,000 may not be sufficient to effectuate all of the financings needed for the Company to reach cash flow break even.

***The issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock, including upon full conversion of the principal amount of all outstanding notes and exercise of all outstanding warrants issued and issuable under the SPA and/or the implementation of the full ratchet anti-dilution protection in such notes and warrants would substantially dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders.***

The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon full conversion and exercise of notes and warrants issued and issuable under a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC ("FF Simplicity"), an entity affiliated with ATW Partners LLC ("ATW"), and RAAJJ Trading LLC ("RAAJJ") on August 14, 2022, as amended by the first amendment thereto on September 23, 2022 (the "SPA"), pursuant to the Joinder and Amendment Agreement entered into by the Company, Senyun International Ltd. ("Senyun"), an entity affiliated with Daguan International Limited ("Daguan"), FF Simplicity, and RAAJJ on September 25, 2022 (the "Joinder"), pursuant to the Limited Consent and Third Amendment entered into by the Company, Senyun, FF Simplicity and RAAJJ on October 24, 2022 (the "Third Amendment"), pursuant to the Limited Consent and Amendment entered into by the Company, Senyun, FF Simplicity and RAAJJ on November 8, 2022 and pursuant to the Letter Agreement entered into by the Company, Senyun and FF Simplicity on December 28, 2022 will result in significant additional dilution to the existing Company stockholders. At a special meeting of stockholders held on November 3, 2022, the Company's stockholders approved (among other proposals) a proposal to approve, as is required by the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations, transactions involving notes and warrants issued to ATW, RAAJJ, Daguan and/or their affiliates as committed under the SPA, the Joinder and the Third Amendment, including the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants issued and issuable under the SPA. To the extent such notes are converted and such warrants are exercised, such conversions and exercises would have a significant dilutive effect on the ownership interest of existing stockholders of the Company. Additionally, any issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock under the SEPA that is below the exercise price of the warrants issued and issuable under the SPA or the conversion price of the notes issued and issuable under the SPA will decrease such exercise or conversion price, as applicable, and increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to the exercise or conversion of such warrants or notes, as described in more detail in such warrants and notes.

#### PROPOSAL 1: THE YORKVILLE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL
*The Standby Equity Purchase Agreement*

On November 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with YA II PN, Ltd., an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LP ("Yorkville"). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company shall have the right (subject to certain conditions including an effective registration for the resale of the shares to be sold to Yorkville under the SEPA), but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $200,000,000 of its shares of Class A Common Stock, subject, at the option of the Company, to increase in one or more installments (each such installment, a "Commitment Increase") up to a total amount of $350,000,000 (the $200,000,000 plus any Commitment Increases, the "Commitment Amount"), at the Company's request any time during the commitment period commencing on November 11, 2022 and terminating on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the 36-month anniversary of the SEPA and (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment of any advances pursuant to the SEPA (each, an "Advance") for shares of the Class A Common Stock equal to the Commitment Amount (as increased by any Commitment Increases). Each Advance the Company requests under the SEPA (notice of such request, an "Advance Notice") may be for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to up to 9.99% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the Advance Notice (less any such shares held by Yorkville and its affiliates as of such date); however, the final number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold pursuant to each Advance Notice shall not exceed the greater of (1) one-third of the total trading volume of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during such Pricing Period (as defined below), or (2) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold by Yorkville during such Pricing Period, but not to exceed the amount requested in the Advance Notice. The shares would be purchased at 97% of the average daily volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. ("VWAP") for the three trading days commencing on the Advance Notice date (the "Pricing Period"). When providing an Advance Notice, the Company may indicate on such Advance Notice a minimum acceptable price ("MAP"). If a MAP is indicated on an Advance Notice, then each trading day during the Pricing Period for such Advance Notice for which the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is below the MAP or for which there is no VWAP (each such day, an "Excluded Day"), shall result in an automatic reduction to the amount of the Advance set forth in such Advance Notice by one-third, and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the price at which Yorkville shall purchase the shares. Additionally, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of such Advance (after the foregoing reductions, if any) shall be automatically increased by such number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold by Yorkville on such Excluded Day, if any, and the price paid per share for each Additional Share shall be equal to the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice multiplied by 97%, provided that this increase shall not cause the total Advance to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice.

Any purchase under an Advance would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville shall not purchase or acquire any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of Class A Common Stock or any shares that, aggregated with shares issued under all other earlier Advances, would exceed 19.99% of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding on the date of the SEPA, unless Company shareholder approval is obtained allowing for issuances in excess of such amount (the "Exchange Cap"). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including to any Advance under the SEPA where the average price of all shares of Class A Common Stock issued and sold under the SEPA, or to be issued under Advances to the date of and including such Advance, equals or exceeds $0.62 per share (the "Minimum Price"). The Company cannot predict the VWAP of Class A Common Stock at any future date, and therefore cannot predict whether the price in connection with any Advance will equal or exceed the Minimum Price. Under certain circumstances, it is possible that we may need to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to Yorkville at a price that does not equal or exceed the Minimum Price.

The summary of the SEPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SEPA, which is filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 14, 2022.

The failure to obtain approval of the Yorkville Share Issuance Proposal may hinder the Company from obtaining future financing.

#### PROPOSAL 2: THE SHARE AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL
*Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock*

The Board recommends that the stockholders adopt an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 815,000,000 to 1,690,000,000 shares, increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 890,000,000 to 1,765,000,000 shares and the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock from 900,000,000 to 1,775,000,000 shares. Pursuant to the Charter, the Company currently has 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 890,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, including (i) 815,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 75,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of January 31, 2023, there were no shares of Preferred Stock, 624,276,890 shares of Class A Common Stock and 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.

The Board believes it is desirable for the Company to have a sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for the satisfaction of its existing obligations to issue shares of Class A Common Stock as and if they become due, for possible future financings or acquisition transactions, stock dividends or splits, stock issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans and other proper corporate purposes. In particular, in order to fund its ongoing operations and business plan, including to launch the FF 91, the Company is seeking to raise additional capital from various fundraising efforts currently underway to supplement its cash on hand as of January 15, 2023 of $19.6 million, including restricted cash of $2.1 million. FF expects that it may raise additional capital to support the ramp-up of production of the FF 91 to generate revenues to put it on a path to cash flow break-even. It is possible that some of these additional shares could be used in the future for various other purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by the Company's Charter, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which the Company's securities may then be listed. The Board believes that approval of the Share Authorization Proposal is crucial predominantly to ensure that the Company has sufficient authorized shares to meet its existing obligations to issue shares of Class A Common Stock as and if they become due, and to secure needed financing without incurring the delay and expense of holding additional stockholders' meetings.

If the Share Authorization Proposal is approved, up to an additional 875,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, or a total of 1,775,000,000 shares of authorized and unreserved shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock would be issued and outstanding or available for future issuance. The additional shares of Class A Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, including the right to cast one vote per share of Class A Common Stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders.

The Charter amendment will become effective upon the filing of the amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Company currently plans to file such amendment promptly after the Special Meeting if the Share Authorization Proposal is approved.

*Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement* 

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement, dated January 13, 2023, between the Company and FF Top Holding LLC ("FF Top"), FF Top has agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock that it beneficially owns in favor of an increase in the Company's authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 815,000,000 to 1,690,000,000 (as such number may be adjusted due to any stock split, reverse stock split or other similar corporate action after January 13, 2023) at the Special Meeting. FF Top has also agreed not to transfer, convert or otherwise take any action that would result in the conversion of any shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock of the Company prior to the Company's receipt of stockholder approval of the Share Authorization Proposal.

The failure to obtain approval of the Share Authorization Proposal may hinder the Company from obtaining future financing.

The Company is seeking stockholder approval to adopt an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 815,000,000 to 1,690,000,000, increasing the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock from 900,000,000 to 1,775,000,000.

#### SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock, as of January 15, 2023, for (1) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (2) each member of the Board, (3) each of our named executive officers and (4) all of the members of the Board and our executive officers, as a group. As of January 15, 2023, there were outstanding 564,173,205 shares of Class A Common Stock, 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock, and 491,157,008 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, consisting of 23,540,988 warrants originally issued in the initial public offering of Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. ("PSAC"), the predecessor company to FF, 111,131 warrants originally issued in a private placement in connection with the initial public offering of PSAC, 75,397,858 warrants issued in a private placement on various dates in 2021 to ATW Partners, LLC pursuant to a note purchase agreement with FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd., an entity surviving a merger with PSAC Merger Sub Ltd. to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSAC ("Legacy FF"), 29,454,593 warrants issued in a private placement on August 5, 2021 to Ares Capital Corporation and affiliated entities pursuant to a note purchase agreement with Legacy FF and 362,652,438 warrants issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 14, 2022, among the Company and the other parties thereto, as amended on September 23, 2022, September 25, 2022, October 24, 2022, November 8, 2022, December 28, 2022 and January 25, 2023.

The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 628,173,793 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 15, 2023 (including for this purpose, 64,000,588 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock held by FF Top, which conversion may only occur after the Share Authorization Proposal is approved by stockholders, all as issued and outstanding shares as of January 15, 2023) and do not take into account the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase up to 390,461,607 shares of Class A Common Stock that remain outstanding, the exercise of any of the 35,357,965 outstanding options and vesting of 18,650,570 unvested RSUs (both as of January 15, 2023), or the conversion of any of the outstanding convertible notes. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to warrants and stock options held by the person that are currently exercisable or may be exercised within 60 days of January 15, 2023. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power," which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or "investment power," which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days.

Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned Common Stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed in the table below is c/o Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, California 90248.

#### STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2023 ANNUAL MEETING
In order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our Corporate Secretary must receive the proposal no later than March 18, 2023. Such proposals must be sent via registered, certified, or express mail (or other means that allows the stockholder to determine when the proposal was received) to: Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, California 90248. Such proposals must comply with the SEC's requirements in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in Company-sponsored proxy materials, such as the requirement that the stockholder continues to own a minimum number of shares until the 2023 Annual Meeting and appear in person or through an authorized representative at the 2023 Annual Meeting to present the proposal.

Alternatively, stockholders intending to put forth a director nomination or a stockholder proposal not pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws require, among other things, that our Corporate Secretary receive written notice with respect to each director nomination or other proposal that the stockholder intends to present at the 2023 Annual Meeting from the stockholder no later than the tenth day following the date on which the Company announces the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting. The notice must contain the information required by our Bylaws. In order for stockholders to give timely notice of nominations for directors, other than those nominated by the Company, for inclusion on a universal proxy card in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting, notice must be submitted no later than the tenth day following the date on which the Company announces the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting and include all of the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

Proposals received by the Corporate Secretary after the dates mentioned will not be included in the proxy statement or acted upon at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

#### OTHER MATTERS
In accordance with the Bylaws, the business transacted at the Special Meeting will be limited to the matters set forth in the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders and this Proxy Statement.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION
The Company will bear the expenses of calling and holding the Special Meeting and the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Special Meeting. These costs will include, among other items, the expense of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing the proxy materials to stockholders of record and street name stockholders, and reimbursements paid to brokers, banks, and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to stockholders and obtaining voting instructions from street name stockholders. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our directors, officers, certain regular employees and certain investors and their representatives may solicit proxies on behalf of our Board, without additional compensation, personally, by telephone, or by video conference. The regular employees will be administrative personnel.

The Company has retained Georgeson LLC to solicit proxies. Under our agreement with Georgeson LLC, they will receive a fee of up to approximately $100,000 plus the reimbursement of reasonable expenses. The Company also agreed to indemnify Georgeson LLC against certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, its retention. Georgeson LLC will solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile and email.

#### HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC, called "householding." Under this procedure, we send only one Proxy Statement and one annual report to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to eliminate duplicate mailings, conserve natural resources, and reduce our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.
