On September 27th, Faraday Future officially released a letter from FF’s Global CEO Matthias Aydt addressed to all shareholders.
The letter mentioned that over the past nine years, we have invested approximately $3 billion in making FF a leading player in the emerging electric vehicle industry. These funds have been put into our products and technologies, enabling us to deliver our flagship model, the FF 91.
The large-scale and high-quality delivery remains the company’s current most important strategic goal. While obtaining additional financing, the company plans to deliver more FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance vehicles to top-tier users this year and enhance production capacity and sales in the future.
The company is currently making unremitting efforts to solve the funding problem. Firstly, as the company enters the delivery stage, we expect to obtain funds from car sales and existing unrealized financing commitments to meet the capital needs for expanding production capacity. Secondly, our effective shelf registration statement provides an efficient financing tool to raise funds and secure a new round of financing. Thirdly, the company is actively communicating with strategic investors to alleviate the funding issue.
However, it is worth noting that according to the data released by FF, in the third quarter of this year, FF only delivered three units of the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance.
In his letter to shareholders, Matthias Aydt stated that although the company is entering its most important phase since its establishment, we are fully aware of the challenges that the company needs to address and overcome, including obtaining the necessary funding to support future growth. Today, we have submitted an application for registration of an ATM financing plan. Having this plan will provide the company with greater financial flexibility and diversified options. By working with our investment banking team through ATM, the company will be able to raise funds from the market at market prices. This allows us to discontinue our equity line of credit (ELOC) program and move away from relying on convertible note financing as we did in the past year. With the ATM plan in place, the company hopes to return to a more traditional corporate financing structure to support future financial growth.
FF claims to be ready to expand production capacity and will continue to increase output in order to achieve the company’s short- and medium-term strategic goals.
