AMENDMENT NO. 2 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 (as so amended through May 17, 2022, the “Original Schedule 13D” and together with this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”).  Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 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 June 22, 2022, FF Top delivered a Notice of Removal of FF Top Designee (the “Removal Notice”) to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2021, by and between FF Top and the Issuer (the “Shareholder Agreement”), stating that FF Top was exercising FF Top’s right to remove Mr. Brian Krolicki, an FF Top Designee, from the Board of Directors.  Such notice also stated that FF Top intended to notify the Board of Directors of its nominee to fill the vacancy created by such removal by subsequent notice.  A copy of the Removal Notice is included as Exhibit 7 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

Also on June 22, 2022, FF Top delivered a letter to the Board of Directors requesting a review by a newly appointed independent director of Mr. Krolicki’s conduct while a member of the Board of Directors, in light of, among other things, the significant loss in shareholder value having occurred during his tenure on the Board of Directors.

On June 23, 2022, FF Top delivered a Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designee to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, stating that FF Top was nominating Ms. Li Han, formerly a partner at an internationally recognized law firm, to replace Mr. Krolicki as an FF Top Designee (as such term is defined in the Shareholder Agreement) on the Board of Directors.  A copy of such notice is included as Exhibit 8 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

Also on June 23, 2022, the Issuer delivered a letter to FF Top, in which the Issuer stated that it believes the Removal Notice was ineffective.  The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer is in violation, among other things, of the Issuer’s obligations under Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement, which states that the Issuer “shall use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any time and from time to time, all Necessary Actions to facilitate the removal of any of the FF Top Designees that FF Top intends to remove.””

Item 7.

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

Notice of Removal of FF Top Designee from FF Top to the Board of Directors, dated June 22, 2022.
   
Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designee from FF Top to the Board of Directors, dated June 23, 2022.
