Why It Matters

• These votes give Faraday Future’s board clear authority to increase and issue shares and to carry out a reverse stock split if it decides that action is appropriate. That flexibility can be used for financing, restructuring, or meeting listing requirements.
• Approvals to issue shares to note holders, preferred holders and under the incentive plan create potential dilution for existing common shareholders because more shares may be issued in the future.
• Electing the named directors and approving say‑on‑pay and the incentive plan amendment confirms current governance and compensation approaches for the coming year.
• Investors should watch for subsequent board actions (e.g., the board’s decision on reverse split ratio or actual share issuances) and any filings describing the timing and terms of those actions.
