Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) ("Faraday Future", “FF” or "Company"), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced a new round of financing to support the Company’s phase 2 Co-Creation delivery of its Ultimate AI TechLuxury FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance, along with its Developer Co-Creation strategy.
On August 4, 2023, the Company issued $16,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its unsecured convertible senior promissory notes (the “Note”) together with a common stock purchase warrant to Streeterville Capital, LLC . The Note is subject to an original issue discount of $1,500,000. This new round of funding will support the Company’s phase 2 delivery and sales and service preparation of its Ultimate AI TechLuxury FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance.
The Company continues to recruit Developer Co-Creation participants by invitation and recommendation for its first Developer Co-Creation Festival which will be held in Pebble Beach, California during Monterey Car Week later this month. The Company plans to initiate the delivery process this week and hold the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance delivery ceremony next week.
The Company also announced the Developer Co-Creation projects. The Co-Creation business model is an open UP2U (User Planning to User) business model that allows users or Co-Creators to become FF partners and enable value Co-Creation. It is also an extension of FF’s internal and external partner strategy. The ultimate goal is to collaborate with external Co-Creators to create value for the Company.
The Developer Co-Creation projects include:
- FPO (Futurist Product Officer): Provides valuable feedback and helps the Company with product enhancements and improvements.
- FMO (Futurist Marketing Officer): Leverages personal platforms, networks and resources to help the Company for brand & communications efforts.
- FSC (Futurist Spire Club): Mainly composed of celebrities, entrepreneurs, and industry stars, focuses on word-of-mouth building and circle marketing of FF products among spire users.
- FTO (Futurist Technology Officer): Provides valuable feedback and helps the Company with technology enhancements and improvements.
- FSO (Futurist Service Officer): Uses their own platforms and resources to help the Company improve service quality and experience.
- FOO (Futurist Operation Officer): Provides valuable advice and feedback on corporate operations.
Through collaborative partnerships with external Developer Co-Creators, the Company believes that substantial value will be brought to the Company across various aspects such as product development and quality enhancement, brand marketing and communications, elite group engagement, including celebrities and influencers, technological development and advancement, after-sales services, as well as overall Company operations.
Up to now, several industry elites have collaborated with FF as Developer Co-Creators, providing valuable feedback to the Company. These initial Developer Co-Creators have also assisted the Company in aspects such as brand marketing and user acquisition, among others.
The Company plans to recruit additional Co-Creation participants with the launch of the second phase of Developer Co-Creation delivery. Potential Developer Co-Creators must receive at least one recommendation from an existing FF Developer Co-Creator or an FF pre-order holder as well as pass a Company evaluation to qualify as a Developer Co-Creator in the second phase.
“It is a great pleasure to be able to obtain new financing support at the critical moment when the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance starts the second phase of Co-Creation delivery. Through the Developer Co-Creation project, we expect to receive support from external Co-Creators at multiple levels including, but not limited to, product and technology improvement, brand and marketing communications, word of mouth and user service, which is crucial to the realization of the Company's strategic goals in the next stage,” said Xuefeng Chen (XF), Global CEO of FF.
