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 Share Issuance Proposal and the Auditor Ratification 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 Share Issuance Proposal. A stockholder may abstain from voting with respect to the 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 Share Issuance Proposal.

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 Auditor Ratification Proposal. A stockholder may abstain from voting with respect to the Auditor Ratification 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 Auditor Ratification Proposal.

Broker discretionary voting is permitted for the Auditor Ratification Proposal but is not permitted for the Share Issuance Proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted toward a quorum but will have no effect on the Share Issuance Proposal or the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

#### What are the consequences if the Share Issuance Proposal is not approved?
Pursuant to the SPA, the Company is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to hold the Special Meeting and use reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of the Share Issuance Proposal prior to April 7, 2023. If the Share Issuance Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Company would be obligated under the SPA to use reasonable best efforts to seek approval of the Share Issuance Proposal at a second special meeting of stockholders within 30 days after the Special Meeting and at each annual meeting of Company stockholders thereafter (starting in 2024) until such approval is obtained or until the notes issued pursuant to the SPA are no longer outstanding. The failure to obtain approval of the Share Issuance Proposal may also hinder the Company from obtaining future financing.

#### 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 Share Issuance Proposal, but your shares may be voted on by your broker, bank or other nominee in their discretion with regards to the Auditor Ratification Proposal. If your broker, bank or other nominee executes the proxy card and does not provide voting instructions on any given matter,

4<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
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.

#### Can I ask questions at the virtual Special Meeting?
Stockholders as of the Record Date who attend and participate in our virtual Special Meeting will have an opportunity to submit questions live via the Internet during a designated portion of the Special Meeting. We also encourage you to submit questions in advance of the Special Meeting until 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time the day before the Special Meeting by going to <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FFIE2023SM2</u> and logging in with your control number.

During the Special Meeting, we will spend up to 10 minutes answering stockholder questions that comply with the meeting rules of procedure. 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.

#### How do I ask questions during the Special Meeting?
If you are a stockholder of record, or a beneficial owner who registered in advance by following the instructions above, you can join the Special Meeting as a "Stockholder" with your control number and may submit questions during the Special Meeting at <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FFIE2023SM2</u>. We also encourage you to submit questions in advance of the meeting until 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time the day before the Special Meeting by going to <u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FFIE2023SM2</u> and logging in with your control number.

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

#### PROPOSAL 2: THE AUDITOR RATIFICATION PROPOSAL
The Audit Committee of the Board is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm (the "independent auditors"). The Audit Committee has appointed Mazars USA LLC ("Mazars") to serve as the Company's independent auditors with respect to its operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, subject to ratification by stockholders. Stockholder ratification of such selection is not required by the Bylaws or any other applicable legal requirement. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Mazars to the Company's stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance.

In taking this action, the Audit Committee considered carefully Mazars' independence with respect to the services to be performed and its general reputation for adherence to professional auditing standards. The Audit Committee is responsible for the determination of the fees associated with the retention of Mazars. The Audit Committee will annually evaluate the performance of Mazars, including the senior audit engagement team, and will determine whether to reengage the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the engagement of Mazars as the Company's independent auditors is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Because the members of the Audit Committee value stockholders' views on the Company's independent auditors, even though ratification is not legally required, there will be presented at the Special Meeting a proposal for the ratification of the appointment of Mazars. If the appointment of Mazars is not ratified, the matter of the appointment of independent auditors will be considered by the Audit Committee.

Representatives of Mazars will be present during the Special Meeting to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will also be available to answer appropriate questions from stockholders.

On August 23, 2022, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") notified the Company that it would not stand for reelection as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022 and, effective immediately, was no longer the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit report of PwC on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that PwC's report on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 contained an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent interim period through August 23, 2022, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with PwC's report on the Company's financial statements; and (ii) no "reportable events," as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the following material weaknesses previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Specifically, the Company lacked a sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training, and experience to appropriately analyze, record, and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. Additionally, the Company's management did not establish formal reporting lines in pursuit of its objectives. Further, the lack of a sufficient number of professionals resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of its financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, among other things, insufficient segregation of duties in its finance and accounting functions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls were not sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement to financial reporting due to growth in the business;

11<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain effective controls for communicating and sharing information between the legal, capital markets, and accounting and finance departments. Specifically, the Company's accounting and finance departments were not consistently provided the complete and adequate support, documentation, and information including the nature of relationships with certain counterparties to record transactions within the financial statements timely, completely, and accurately;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain effective controls to address the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine, unusual or complex transactions, including the proper application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to such transactions. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain controls to timely identify and account for embedded derivatives related to convertible notes, impute interest on related party notes payable with interest rates below market rates, account for failed sale leaseback transactions, and account for warrant instruments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures, and controls to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting, and disclosures, including controls over the period-end financial reporting process addressing areas including financial statement and footnote presentation and disclosures, account reconciliations and journal entries, including segregation of duties, assessing the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used in controls, and the timely identification and accounting for cut-off of expenditures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology ("IT") general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements, specifically, with respect to: (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel; and (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored. These IT deficiencies did not result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could result in material misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not maintain an effective control environment or demonstrate a commitment to maintain integrity and ethical values. Specifically, certain members of senior management failed to reinforce the need for an attitude of compliance and internal control awareness with certain of the Company's governance, accounting and finance policies and procedures. This resulted in the inaccurate and incomplete disclosures of certain relationships, arrangements, and transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the identification and disclosure of certain arrangements and transactions with related parties.

*Principal Accounting Fees and Services*

PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm of FF Intelligent Mobility Global Holdings Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Legacy FF"), prior to the business combination involving Property Solutions Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and predecessor company of the Company, and Legacy FF (the "Business Combination") and as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to PwC for services rendered.

**Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by PwC in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by PwC for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in the Company's Forms 10-Q for the respective periods, services provided in connection with the Business Combination and Form S-4, services provided in connection with registration statements, and other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $5,303 thousand. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at Audit Committee meetings.** 

**Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements and are not reported** 

12<br>

under "Audit Fees." These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. PwC did not provide services and the Company did not incur fees for consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards for the year ended December 31, 2021.

#### Tax Fees . For the year ended December 31, 2021, fees for tax planning and advice provided by PwC totaled $440 thousand.

#### All Other Fees . License fees for accounting research software provided by PwC totaled $6 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021.
*Pre-Approval Policy*

The Audit Committee has implemented a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services, including tax services, proposed to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor. Under the policy, the Audit Committee may approve engagements on a case-by-case basis or pre-approve engagements on a categorical basis pursuant to the Audit Committee's pre-approval policy.

The Audit Committee approved all services provided by PwC during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by PwC and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining PwC's independence.

#### Proposal
The Company is seeking stockholder ratification of the selection of Mazars as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

#### Voting Requirements
The Company's Bylaws require 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 to approve the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 688,833,409 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 3, 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, all as issued and outstanding shares as of February 3, 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 143,884,708 shares of Class A Common Stock that remain outstanding, the exercise of any of the 14,728,207 outstanding options and vesting of 14,850,018 unvested RSUs (both as of February 3, 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 February 3, 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.

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.

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, and certain employees, investors and their representatives may solicit proxies on behalf of the Company, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone.

Certain representatives of FF Top and its indirect parent entity FF Global Partners, LLC, including, without limitation, Jerry Wang, Weiwei Zhao and Wenyi Yan (collectively, the "FF Top Representatives"), are additional participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Special Meeting. Information regarding the direct and indirect interests in the Company, by security holdings or otherwise, of FF Global, FF Top and the FF Top Representatives is included in this Proxy Statement; the registration statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2023; Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022; Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2022; and in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC from time to time.

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.

If you share an address with another stockholder and receive only one set of proxy materials but would like to request a separate copy of these materials, please contact our mailing agent, Broadridge Financial Solutions, either by calling (866) 540-7095, or by writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and an additional copy of proxy materials will be promptly delivered to you. Similarly, if you receive multiple copies of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, you may also contact Broadridge at the above telephone number or address. If you own shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you should contact the nominee concerning householding procedures.
