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, the Share Authorization Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split 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. Broker discretionary voting is not permitted for the Share Issuance Proposal, and broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum and will have no effect on the 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.

Broker discretionary voting is permitted for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote against the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

What are the consequences if the Share Issuance Proposal is not approved?

Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, 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. If the Share Issuance Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Company would be obligated under the Amended Purchase Agreement to use reasonable best efforts to seek approval of the Share Issuance Proposal at a second special meeting of stockholders within 120 days after the Special Meeting and at each annual meeting of Company stockholders thereafter (starting in 2023) until such approval is obtained or until the notes issued pursuant to the agreement are no longer outstanding. The failure to obtain approval of the Share Issuance Proposal may also hinder the Company from obtaining future financing.

4

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 authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 825,000,000 to 900,000,000. The failure to obtain approval of the Share Authorization Proposal may also hinder the Company from obtaining future financing.

What are the consequences if the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved?

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved, the Board will not amend and restate the Charter to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires that companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share. If the Company is unable maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the Company’s Common Stock may be delisted by the Nasdaq Stock Market, which will have adverse effects on the liquidity of your investment.

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 by your broker, bank or other nominee in their discretion with regards to the Share Authorization proposal and the Reverse Stock Split 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.

The Purchasers also agreed under the Amendment to purchase an additional $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior secured convertible notes (the “Fifth Bridge Notes” and, together with the Third Bridge Notes and the Fourth Bridge Notes, the “Additional Bridge Notes”) upon the filing by the Company of an amendment to the Form S-1, subject to certain closing conditions. The Fifth Bridge Notes are not required to be funded to the extent that the Company receives $10.0 million in additional financing (including pursuant to the Joinder described below). The Third Bridge Notes were funded to the Company on September 23, 2022. The Fourth Bridge Notes were funded on October 11, 2022 and included a waiver of the Company’s requirement to generally pay its debts as they come due in connection with the closing of the Fourth Bridge Notes.

Under the Amended Purchase Agreement and the Existing Purchase Agreement, the Company is permitted to obtain incremental senior secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $248 million within 90 days after the closing of the Initial Bridge Notes (the “Incremental Notes” and together with the Bridge Notes and Additional Bridge Notes, the “Notes”). The Company is in active discussions with several potential additional Purchasers of the Notes and other debt and equity investments in the Company, but there is no assurance that any additional Notes will be issued under the Amended Purchase Agreement.

The Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $2.2865 in respect of the Initial Bridge Notes and $2.69 in respect of the Second Bridge Notes, the Third Bridge Notes, the Fourth Bridge Notes and the Fifth Bridge Notes (which have been adjusted downward to $0.8925 and $1.05, respectively, pursuant to the Joinder described below), plus an interest make-whole amount as set forth in the Notes, subject to customary adjustments, including full ratchet anti-dilution protection. The shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes are not transferable for three months (adjusted from six months in the Existing Purchase Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

As a closing condition under the Amended Purchase Agreement for funding of each of the Bridge Notes and Additional Bridge Notes, the Company is required to deliver to each of the Purchasers a warrant (a “Warrant”) registered in the name of such Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of such shares (except for the Fifth Bridge Notes, which shall equal 100% of such shares) issuable

to such Purchaser upon conversion of the Note, with an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share, subject to customary full ratchet anti-dilution protection and other adjustments, and are exercisable for seven years on a cash or cashless basis. The Company may repurchase the Warrants for $0.01 per Warrant share if and to the extent the volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during 20 of out 30 trading days prior to the repurchase is greater than $15.00 per share, subject to certain additional conditions. On September 23, 2022, the Company issued a Warrant to the Purchaser exercisable for 920,074 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, concurrent with the funding of the $7.5 million Third Bridge Notes commitment.

As additional consideration for FF Simplicity entering into the Amendment in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent, the Company has also issued to FF Simplicity a warrant to purchase ten (10) shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Adjustment Warrant”). The terms of the Adjustment Warrants are the same as the Warrants described above, except that the Adjustment Warrant (i) has an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share and (ii) does not have the optional repurchase provision described above if stock trades above $15.00 per share.

Joinder and Amendment Agreement with Senyun International Ltd.

On September 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder and Amendment Agreement (the “Joinder”) with Senyun International Ltd., an affiliate of Daguan International Limited (the “New Purchaser”), FF Simplicity, as administrative agent, collateral agent and purchaser, and RAAJJ Trading LLC, as purchaser, pursuant to which the New Purchaser agreed to purchase Incremental Notes under the Amended Purchase Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million (collectively, the “New Notes”) in installments as follows: (a) $10.0 million in principal amount of New Notes to be funded upon completion of the Company’s supplemental due diligence that is currently in process, (b) $10.0 million in principal amount of New Notes on a date that is no later than October 14, 2022, (c) $10.0 million in principal amount of New Notes on a date that is not later than fifteen (15) business days after the effectiveness of the Form S-1(it being understood that the Form S-1 shall be amended by a filing to be made after the date of the Joinder so that the Form S-1 registers the resale by the Purchasers of all shares issuable pursuant to the Financing Documents (as defined below)), (d) $10.0 million in principal amount of New Notes on a date that is not later than thirty (30) business days after the later of (i) the effectiveness of the Form S-1 and (ii) the approval of the Share Issuance Proposal, and (e) $20.0 million in principal amount of New Notes on a date that is no later than ten (10) business days after the later of (i) official delivery of FF91 to the first batch of bona fide customers and (ii) approval of the Share Issuance Proposal. Pursuant to the Joinder, the New Purchaser has all of the same rights and obligations as a Purchaser under the Amended Purchase Agreement and all documents, instruments and agreements contemplated therein or thereby (collectively, and together with the Joinder, the “Financing Documents”). Each such purchase of New Notes by the New Purchaser is subject to certain closing conditions. In addition to the New Purchaser’s commitment as set forth in the Joinder, the Joinder effectuated certain other amendments to the Amended Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, permitting the New Notes to be funded in accordance with the Joinder. The New Purchaser and the Company are in discussions regarding a potential adjustment to the conversion price under the New Notes that would apply to the second through fifth tranches of the New Notes. There can be no guarantee regarding the timing of the completion of the Company’s supplemental due diligence relating to the investment by the New Purchaser, or whether the Company's findings from such diligence efforts will result in further delays or the inability of the Company to complete such financing. In addition, if the New Purchaser does not comply with its obligations under the Joinder, we may not be able to complete the contemplated financing and we may be required to find alternative financing sources, which may not be available on attractive terms or at all.

The New Notes are subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $1.05, subject to customary adjustments, including full ratchet anti-dilution protection. The shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes purchased by the New Purchaser in respect of its first $20.0 million investment are not transferable for 30 days without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes purchased by the New Purchaser in respect of its remaining $40.0 million investment are not transferable for three months without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

9

As a closing condition for the New Purchaser to purchase the New Notes on each applicable date described above (each, a “Funding Date”), the Company is required to deliver to the New Purchaser a Warrant registered in the name of the New Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the applicable New Note on such Funding Date, with an exercise price equal to $5.00, subject to adjustment therein.

Under the Amended Purchase Agreement and the Joinder, the Company has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to hold the Special Meeting to obtain stockholder approval, as is required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants being issued to the Purchasers. The Company sought a financial viability exception under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(f) to exempt such issuance in excess of 19.99% of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the signing of the Existing Purchase Agreement, but the Nasdaq Stock Market declined to grant such an exception including due to the fact that no investor has conditioned its investment upon the Company obtaining such exception.

Voting Agreements by FF Top Holding LLC and Season Smart Limited

On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into a letter agreement with each of FF Top Holding LLC (“FF Top”) (the “FF Top Voting Agreement”) and Season Smart Limited, an indirect subsidiary of China Evergrande Group (“Season Smart”) (the “Season Smart Voting Agreement”), the two largest holders of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which each of FF Top and Season Smart has agreed to vote, with respect to all shares of Company voting stock over which such party has voting control, in favor of any resolution presented to the stockholders of the Company at a stockholders’ meeting to approve, among other things:

FF Top’s and Season Smart’s obligations pursuant to their respective voting agreements are conditioned on the accuracy of certain representations, compliance by the Company with certain covenants and the satisfaction of certain conditions, in each case as further set forth in the applicable voting agreement.

The summary of the Purchase Agreement, the Amendment, the Joinder, the FF Top Voting Agreement and the Season Smart Voting Agreement in this Proxy Statement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K

filed by the Company with the SEC on August 15, 2022, and the full texts of the Amendment, the Joinder, the FF Top Voting Agreement and the Season Smart Voting Agreement, which are filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 26, 2022.

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

Proposal

The Company is seeking stockholder approval, as is required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, with respect to transactions involving notes and warrants of the Company issued or to be issued to ATW Partners LLC, RAAJJ Trading LLC, Daguan International Limited and/or their affiliates as committed under the Amended Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

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 via remote communication or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote to approve the Share Issuance Proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 2: THE SHARE AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL

Proposal

The Board recommends that the stockholders adopt an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 825,000,000 to 900,000,000 shares. Pursuant to the Charter, the Company currently has 825,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, including (i) 750,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 75,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of August 9, 2022, there were 263,913,346 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 Common Stock available 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 of $31.4 million as of September 21, 2022. Although the Company has taken steps to preserve its cash position, including reducing spending, extending payment cycles and other similar measures, it projects that it will require additional funds in order to continue operations, and will also need to raise additional financing during the remainder of 2022 and beyond 2022 to support the ramp-up of production of the FF 91 to generate revenues to put the Company 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 to ensure that the Company has sufficient authorized shares 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 75,000,000, or a total of 900,000,000, authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock would be available for future issuance. The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares of Common Stock, including the right to cast one vote per share of 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 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.

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

Voting Requirements

Delaware law and the Charter require 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 at the Special Meeting to approve the Share Authorization Proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE SHARE AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3: THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

Proposal

The Board recommends that the stockholders authorize the Board to adopt an amendment to the Charter to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, by a ratio of any whole number in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-10. The Board may determine, in its sole discretion, whether to implement the reverse stock split, as well as its specific timing and ratio, provided that any reverse stock split is implemented within one year after the conclusion of the Special Meeting.

If the Board determines to effect a Reverse Stock Split, it will file an amendment to the Charter with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, and the Charter will be amended accordingly. The text of the form of such amendment is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Such text is subject to amendment to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware or as the Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the reverse stock split, if any.

The approval of this Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of the Share Authorization Proposal, nor is the approval of the Share Authorization Proposal conditioned upon the approval of this Reverse Stock Split Proposal or the implementation of a reverse stock split. If this Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved and the Board elects to implement a reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the reverse stock split chosen by the Board. If a reverse stock split is implemented, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will decrease by the same proportion as the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at the time of the reverse stock split. If the Share Authorization Proposal is approved, the increase in authorized shares to 900,000,000 will be implemented prior to any reverse stock split. If such proposal is approved and a reverse stock split is subsequently implemented, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will then be reduced from such number by an amount that is proportionate to the reverse stock split.

Depending on the ratio for a reverse stock split determined by the Board, a minimum of two and a maximum of ten shares of existing Common Stock would be combined into one new share of Common Stock. Based on 328,764,784 shares of Class A Common Stock and 64,000,588 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 14, 2022, immediately following a reverse stock split the Company would have approximately 164,382,392 shares of Class A Common Stock and 32,000,294 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding (without giving effect to rounding for fractional shares) if the ratio for a reverse stock split is 1-for-2, and 32,876,479 shares of Class A Common Stock and 6,400,059 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding (without giving effect to rounding for fractional shares) if the ratio for a reverse stock split is 1-for-20.

A reverse stock split would affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share, as a result of a reverse stock split, would be rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, a reverse stock split would not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power.

The Board reserves the right to elect not to effect a reverse stock split, including any or all proposed reverse stock split ratios, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that implementing a reverse stock split is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If the Board does not implement a reverse stock split on or prior to the one year anniversary of the conclusion of the Special Meeting, stockholder approval would again be required prior to implementing any future reverse stock split.

The purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the market price of the Common Stock in order to mitigate the risk of the Common Stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Nasdaq Stock Market has several continued listing criteria that companies must satisfy in order to remain listed on the exchange. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires that the Company maintain a closing bid price that is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share. Companies are considered out of compliance with this requirement if the closing bid price is below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive days. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), once out of compliance with this requirement, a company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance by meeting a closing bid price of greater than or equal to $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless the Nasdaq Stock Market exercises its discretion to extend this period. As of the date hereof, the Common Stock has closed at below $1.00 for 19 consecutive days. The failure to obtain approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal may result in the Common Stock becoming delisted by the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Voting Requirements

Delaware law requires 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 at the Special Meeting to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2022 ANNUAL MEETING

In order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 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 November 9, 2022. 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 2022 Annual Meeting and appear in person or through an authorized representative at the 2022 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 2022 Annual Meeting from the stockholder no later than the tenth day following the date on which the Company announces the date of the 2022 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 2022 Annual Meeting, notice must be submitted no later than the tenth day following the date on which the Company announces the date of the 2022 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 2022 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.

16

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, and certain regular employees may solicit proxies on behalf of our Board, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone. The regular employees will be administrative personnel.

The Company has retained Morrow Sodali LLC to solicit proxies. Under our agreement with Morrow Sodali LLC, they will receive a fee of up to approximately $75,000 plus the reimbursement of reasonable expenses. The Company also agreed to indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC against certain liabilities relating to, or arising out of, its retention. Morrow Sodali 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.

ARTICLE II

REGISTERED OFFICE AND AGENT

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is c/o Vcorp Services, LLC, 1013 Centre Road, Suite 403-B, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19805. The name of its registered agent at such address is Vcorp Services, LLC.

ARTICLE III

PURPOSE AND DURATION

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Corporation is to have a perpetual existence.

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL STOCK

Section 4.1 The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is [•], divided by [•] shares, consisting of two classes of stock: (i) [•] shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The class of Common Stock shall be divided into two series of stock composed of (i) [•], divided by [•] shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and (ii) 75,000,000, divided by [•] shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are separate series within a single class of Common Stock, and are referred to herein together as the “Common Stock.” Pursuant to the DGCL, at [•] [a.m./p.m.] Pacific Time on the date of filing (the “Effective Time”) of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each set of [•] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be combined into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

No certificates representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the number of shares rounded up to the next whole number. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (each, an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation with the power to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL or any successor provision thereof, and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Section 4.2 Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is hereby authorized to provide from time to time by resolution or resolutions for the creation and issuance, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more

A-2

series of Preferred Stock by filing a certificate (a “Certificate of Designation”) pursuant to the DGCL, setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the designation of such series and the number of shares to be included in such series and fixing the voting powers (full or limited, or no voting power), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of each such series. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such series shall be superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may be different from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock or otherwise provided in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder), no vote of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock so authorized in accordance with this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, by resolution or resolutions, increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of such series and, if the number of shares of such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

Section 4.3 Subject to Section 4.4, the Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock or other securities of the Corporation, and such rights, warrants and options shall be approved in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Section 4.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder), without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Board shall not authorize, allot or create any new class of shares each of which bear or may bear more than one vote per share or having the effect of diluting the voting power of the Class B Common Stock disproportionately.

Section 4.5

(a) Voting Rights.

(i) Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder), the holders of Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote. Prior to the occurrence of a Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization, the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote. Upon and after the occurrence of a Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization, the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten votes for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote. Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate, the holders of shares of the Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 4.5(a), the term “Qualifying Equity Market Capitalization” means the Corporation, for any consecutive period of 20 trading days, having a volume weighted average total equity market capitalization of at least $20 billion as determined, in good faith by the Board, for each trading day by multiplying the closing sale price per share of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation on the Nasdaq (or such other securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed for trading) on such trading day (as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function or, if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar) by the then total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and other shares of the Corporation on such trading day.

(ii) Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the

A-3

holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder), the holders of the Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of the Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (or any Certificate of Designation made hereunder) or the DGCL.

(b) Conversion Right.

(i) Subject to the provisions hereof and to compliance with all laws and regulations applicable thereto, including the DGCL, each holder of shares of Class B Common Stock shall have the right to convert, at such holder’s option, any or all of its shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock so converted. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock shall have no right to convert shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock under any circumstances.

(ii) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be converted at the option of the holder by delivery of written notice (a “Conversion Notice”) by such holder to the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation of such holder’s election to convert such share of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.5(b), at any time after issue and without the payment of any additional sum, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock. Such conversion shall take effect upon the delivery of such Conversion Notice to the Corporation or at such date and time or upon the happening of such event as may be specified in the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Time”). A Conversion Notice shall not be effective if it is not accompanied by the share certificates (if any) in respect of the relevant shares of Class B Common Stock and such other evidence (if any) as the Board may reasonably require to prove the title of the person exercising such right (or, if such certificates have been lost or destroyed, such evidence of title and such indemnity as the Board may reasonably require). Any and all taxes and stamp, issue and registration duties (if any) arising on conversion shall be borne by the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock requesting conversion.

(iii) At the Conversion Time, each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be converted into a share of Class A Common Stock with such rights and restrictions attached thereto and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the shares of Class A Common Stock then in issue, and the Corporation shall enter or procure the entry of the name of the relevant holder of shares of Class B Common Stock as the holder of the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock in the Corporation’s books and shall procure that any certificates in respect of the relevant shares of Class A Common Stock, together with (if applicable) a new certificate for any unconverted shares of Class B Common Stock comprised in any certificate(s) surrendered by the holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock, are issued to the holders thereof.

(iv) Until such time as the shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall at all times keep available for issue and free of all liens, charges, options, mortgages, pledges, claims, equities, encumbrances and other third-party rights of any nature, and not subject to any pre-emptive rights out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, such number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock as would enable all shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and any other rights of conversion into, subscription for or exchange into shares of Class A Common Stock to be satisfied in full.

(c) Conversion upon Transfer. Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any share of Class B Common Stock by a holder to any person, or upon a change of ultimate beneficial ownership of any share of Class B Common Stock, in each case without the prior written consent of the Corporation (as determined by the Board of Directors) expressly referencing this Section 4.4(c) (each, a “Transfer”), such share of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically and immediately converted into one share of Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third-party right of whatever description on any share of Class B Common Stock to secure a holder’s contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed to be a sale, transfer,

A-4

assignment or disposition unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third-party right is enforced and results in the third party holding legal title to the relevant share of Class B Common Stock, in which case all the related shares of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically converted into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 4.5(c), “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer of Class B Common Stock has occurred, the Corporation may request that the purported holder of Class B Common Stock furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as it reasonably deems necessary to determine whether a Transfer of Class B Common Stock has occurred, and if such holder does not within ten (10) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient (as determined in good faith by the Board) evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such Transfer of Class B Common Stock has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and such conversion shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation.

(d) Dividend Rights. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividend paid by the Corporation, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(e) Liquidation Rights. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by them. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any such distribution paid by the Corporation, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(f) Subdivision, Combination and Reclassification. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides, combines or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other such class will be subdivided, combined or reclassified in the same proportion and manner, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(g) Mergers, Consolidations and Similar Transactions. In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock upon the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on stockholders substantially similar to that resulting from a merger or consolidation, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to such distribution or payment, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

Section 5.1

(a) The business affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Subject to Section 5.1(d), the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise expressly delegated by resolution of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power and authority to appoint and remove officers of the Corporation.

(b) Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, at each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, a director shall be elected and hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c) Subject to (i) that certain Shareholder Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2021 (such agreement, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Shareholder Agreement”), by and between the Corporation and FF Top Holding Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and (ii) the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote at an election of directors (the “Voting Stock”).

(d) Subject to (i) the Shareholder Agreement and (ii) the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Subject to the Shareholder Agreement, any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the vacancy to which the director shall have been appointed and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal.

Section 5.2

(a) In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock), the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class; provided that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board of Directors that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

(b) The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

ARTICLE VI

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 6.1 Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and the taking of any action by written consent of the stockholders

A-6

in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders is specifically denied. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on any matter that the Class B Common Stock is entitled to consent or vote as a separate class, the holders of the Class B Common Stock may take such action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Section 6.2 Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes as is a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL, by (i) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption). Such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other person or persons.

Section 6.3 Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of other business proposed to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION; CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

Section 7.1 To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.

Section 7.2 The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 7.3 The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as an employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 7.4 Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption by amendment of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of any provision inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

Section 7.5 The provisions of this Section 7.5 are set forth to define, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the duties of Exempted Persons (as defined below) to the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities. “Exempted Persons” means each of Property Solutions Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates, successors, directly or indirectly managed funds or vehicles (as applicable), partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers and employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as directors of the Corporation; provided, that Exempted Persons shall not include the Corporation, any of its subsidiaries or their respective officers or employees.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Exempted Persons shall not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Exempted Persons, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each such Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Corporation and, to the fullest extent permitted by

A-7
