FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance

Following the submission of a Form D yesterday, a wave of market rumors began to circulate — including false claims that the Form D indicates executive stock sales, that a reverse stock split would be triggered immediately if our share price drops below $1.00 per share, and that new tariff uncertainties would derail the FX strategy and "bridge model" execution. FFAI's stock price experienced abnormal volatility and closed below $1.00 per share.

In response, the Company makes the following statement: FF stands firmly with its stockholders. We resolutely oppose a reverse stock split and are fully committed to maintaining our Nasdaq listing.

To defend stockholder value and confidence, the Company is launching five major initiatives — the official start of our "Battle to Achieve the Dream Counterattack Against Potential Illegal Short Selling."

We are confident that through these initiatives, we can remain compliant without a reverse stock split, accelerate a return to true value, and even create greater miracles for the market. The Five Major Initiatives Are:

1. Capital Strategy Offensive:

Firm no to a reverse stock split, unless the stock price consistently fails to meet the compliance standards. FF will continue optimizing its capital structure, with an unwavering commitment not to pursue a reverse stock split unless required to maintain its Nasdaq listing.

Equity and convertible debt offering proceeds will be strategically deployed to support business development targeting maximum value and measured dilution.

The Company previously launched an investigation into potential illegal short selling and sent letters to multiple brokers. We intend to launch a new round of investigation. We do not rule out taking legal action.

FF also intends to initiate a new round of executive share purchases, with broader participation across the leadership team, in the next open trading window which is currently closed. The formal implementation will depend on the legally allowed timeframe and any other necessary conditions.

Over the past year, FF has seen explosive growth in trading volume, share price activity, and retail investor attention, and is widely followed by both U.S. and Chinese investors.

With ongoing breakthroughs in the FX strategy, bridge model, and business fundamentals, the release of true value in the capital market is just beginning.

2. Turning Tariff Pressure into Strategic Opportunity

We acknowledge that recent tariff developments may bring short-term impact to our FX strategy. However, in the mid-to-long term, this could prove to be a strategic opportunity. FF is actively engaging with the U.S. government and has submitted constructive proposals regarding automotive policy, particularly involving U.S.–China cooperation in the EV sector. We are also formally expressing our pathway and policy expectations for the development of FF and the FX brand in the U.S. market.

Following an in-depth industry discussion including FF Global President Jerry Wang and Eric Trump last week, FX CEO Max and his core team have arrived in Washington, D.C., driving the FF 91, and will meet with key decision-makers at the White House on Thursday. This is not only a business engagement — it reflects our deeper role as a "U.S.–China EV bridge" in shaping future policy directions.

3. FX Strategy Accelerating — Countdown to First Vehicle Roll-Off

The FX program is progressing, and we've entered a sprint for the first vehicle rollout by year-end.

FX will begin on-road testing next week in various real-world conditions, including autonomous driving system validation.

The Super One, FX's first production model, is expected to debut in late June, with pre-orders to follow. We are receiving strong inquiries from U.S. consumers, fleet operators, and car rental partners. Market feedback has far exceeded expectations, and we expect to announce substantive orders and cooperation shortly.

4. Strengthened Transparency and Engagement — "Investor Community and Co-Creation Day" Set for April 24

We will further increase transparency and real-time communication with our stockholders to close the information gap, eliminate misunderstandings, and highlight FF's fundamental progress.

On April 24, FF will host an Investor Community and Co-Creation Day in Los Angeles. This hybrid event will gather retail investors, vehicle owners, co-creation officers, and community members to engage in open, face-to-face dialogue. It's a unique opportunity for all stakeholders to experience our vision, value, and strategy firsthand.

5. Deep Organizational Reform to Unlock Execution and Growth Potential

In the coming weeks, FF will initiate a comprehensive organizational and governance transformation aimed at eliminating long-standing inefficiencies and unleashing full operational potential.

We will hold a Company-wide town hall meeting next week to announce and deploy this undertaking — ushering FF into a new chapter of high-efficiency execution and value creation.

"In the face of potential illegal short selling, market rumors, and external uncertainty, FF will always stand with its stockholders. We are resolutely against a reverse stock split and fully committed to protecting our Nasdaq listing. This is not just about defending our Company's value — it's a declaration of our belief in longtermism and the dream we're building together. True value will rise above the noise and be recognized by the market," FF Global President Jerry Wang stated., "The unwavering support of our stockholders has saved FF — we've already won the first phase of the Dream Defense Battle. Moving forward, we will stand even more firmly with our investors and fight for their interests. I have full confidence that we can maintain compliance without a reverse stock split, close the gap between capital value and real value, and even create something truly extraordinary."
