2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“2021 SI Plan”)

In July 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 SI Plan. The 2021 SI Plan allows the Board to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, and other stock-based awards for Class A Common Stock to employees, directors, and non-employees. At the special meeting held on August 16, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved (among other proposals) an amendment to the 2021 SI Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 SI Plan by an additional 861,608 shares.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split on March 1, 2024, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 SI Plan, the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, and the Company’s Special Talent Incentive Plan (the “Plans”), as well as the number of shares subject to the then-outstanding awards under each of the Plans, were proportionately adjusted, using the 1-for-3 ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. In addition, the exercise price of the then-outstanding stock options under each of the Plans was proportionately adjusted, using the 1-for-3 ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 2,469,957 and 1,067,189 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future issuance under its 2021 SI Plan.

SOP/SOD Incentive Plan

On February 23, 2023, the Board approved the Company’s SOP/SOD Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) granting: (i) cash bonuses to all active employees of the Company that began employment at the Company prior to December 31, 2022 upon the commencement of the start of production of the Company’s FF 91 Futurist on or prior to March 31, 2023 and (ii) cash bonuses and equity incentive awards to all active employees of the Company that began employment at the Company prior to December 31, 2022 upon the commencement of the start of delivery of the Company’s FF 91 Futurist on or prior to April 30, 2023 (“Delivery Condition”).

On August 17, 2023, the Board approved an amendment to the Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan Amendment”) to reflect the updated timing of the previously announced FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance phase two of its Delivery Plan from the end of April 2023 to the end of the second quarter 2023 and subsequently to August 2023. The Incentive Plan Amendment is available to all active employees of the Company that began employment at the Company prior to July 1, 2023 and reduced the cash bonuses and milestone based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) by 10% for the internal Company sign-off on requirements to commence phase two of the Company’s Delivery Plan on or prior to July 31, 2023 (“New Delivery Condition”). Pursuant to the

Incentive Plan Amendment, RSU awards will be granted after the Company has sufficient additional shares available for such issuance (“Share Issuance Condition”) and cash bonuses will be paid once the Company has received an additional $15.0 million in financings.

The Incentive Plan Amendment includes the grant of RSUs to certain executive officers of the Company upon the Company’s satisfaction of the New Delivery Condition and the Share Issuance Condition with a grant date fair market value of approximately $8.0 million, subject to vesting in three annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject to the applicable executive’s continuous employment through each applicable vesting date. In addition, subject to the Share Issuance Condition, upon the satisfaction of the New Delivery Condition and continuing for an eight-year period, certain executive officers will annually receive a grant of fully-vested RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $0.8 million, subject to their continued employment through each grant date of the award.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $0.2 million of cash bonus expense under the Incentive Plan. As a result of the Share Issuance Condition not yet being met, no RSUs have been granted under the Incentive Plan.

In addition to the above, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted:

•763,889 RSUs, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $0.19 per share. As of March 31, 2024, the total remaining stock-based compensation expense for unvested RSUs was $1.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.77 years.
