Item 8.01 Other Events.
As reported in Form 8-K filed
on August 13, 2026, Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (the “Company”) filed Form-10Q for the quarter ending June 30,
2026 (the “Quarterly Report”). In the Quarterly Report, Total Stockholder’s Equity as of June 30, 2026, was $1.412 million,
below the Nasdaq Equity Standard articulated in Rules 5550(a) and 5550(b)(1) of $2.5 million.
Since the end of the quarter
ending June 30, 2026, the Company has as of July 31, 2026, and continuing through the date of this Current Report, regained compliance
with the Total Stockholder’s Equity requirement based upon decreases in notes payable, derivative call option liability, together
with a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven primarily by a decline in employee-related liabilities and reconciliation
of legacy vendor accounts payable.
Nasdaq will continue to monitor
the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity requirement. If, at the time of its next periodic report, the
Company does not evidence compliance with such requirement, the Company may be subject to delisting.

Exhibit 99.1
Faraday Future Continues to Strengthen Its Balance
Sheet and Reduce Liability, Increasing Stockholders’ Equity by Approx. $20 Million; FF’s EAI Robot Cumulative yearly Sales
and Shipments Have Reached 552 Units With Positive Product Gross Margin
● Following the close of the second quarter, the Company
believes it has regained compliance with the Equity Standard as of July 31, 2026, and has maintained compliance through the date of its
latest Current Financial Report.
● Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s
ongoing compliance as FF continues to make efforts to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce liability, including taking further steps
forward in the Company’s debt-reduction and capital-structure optimization.
● FF’s
cumulative sales and shipments have reached 552 units by August end and continue to grow.
Los Angeles,
CA (Sept. 17, 2026) – Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future”, “FF”
or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today issued an update regarding its compliance
status with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements. Following the close of the second quarter, the Company believes
it has regained compliance with the Equity Standard as of July 31, 2026, and has maintained compliance through the date of its latest
Current Financial Report.
During July and August 2026, FF continued to strengthen
its balance sheet through targeted liability reduction initiatives. The Company reduced notes payable by approximately $10.0 million based
on a preliminary fair valuation of the instrument as of June 30, 2026, and lowered its derivative call option liability by approximately
$5.8 million. In addition, accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by approximately $15.3 million, primarily driven by a $13.5
million reduction in employee-related liabilities and a $2.5 million cleanup of legacy vendor accounts payable, partially offset by new
vendor payables accrued during the period.
While operating
losses, asset depreciation, fair valuation of financial instruments, legal contingency assessments and other ordinary-course expenses
are expected to impact net equity value during the quarter, these balance sheet improvements reflect the Company’s ongoing efforts
to enhance its financial position and streamline legacy obligations. Final financial results for the third quarter of 2026 remain subject
to auditor review and will be disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for Q3 2026, to be filed in accordance with applicable reporting
requirements.
Since deliveries began in February, FF’s EAI
robot cumulative sales and shipments reached 552 units by August end, with positive product gross margin. These results give the Company
stronger momentum as it works to win its Q3 Robotics Practical Deployment Campaign and push toward FF’s full-year target of 2,000
units. At the same time, this is accelerating Company growth and the evolutionary flywheel of the Company’s ‘Four-Core Full-Stack
AI’ ecosystem.
As previously
reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 13, 2026, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2026, Faraday Future’s Total Stockholders’ Equity was $1.412 million as of June 30, 2026. This fell below the $2.5 million
minimum requirement outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Standard”).
Nasdaq will
continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance while FF remains committed to maintaining its listing status and executing
its long-term strategic growth plan and will continue to advance all efforts in accordance with its stated commitments and maintain transparent
disclosure to the market.
