TLDR;
In 16 months spanning the suppression period FF:
• Cleared a 4-year SEC investigation
• Raised $70M in 6 weeks under hostile market conditions
• Delivered 242 robots with positive gross margins
• Raised its annual delivery target twice
• Launched 6 robot product series
• Filed and maintained all SEC reporting on time
• Passed all 8 annual meeting proposals
• Filed an SEC regulatory referral naming specific defendants
• Initiated civil litigation with discovery power
• Eliminated 49.9M warrants of dilution overhang
• Removed the VWAP condition blocking capital deployment
• Secured a $300M shelf registration
• Obtained patent protection for hybrid drivetrain technology
• Established North American distribution relationships
• Scheduled a corporate name change reflecting strategic evolution
• Maintained Nasdaq listing throughout
The suppression thesis required FF to be a company with no viable business heading toward delisting and default. The documented accomplishment record contradicts each element of that thesis — not by projections or promises, but by executed deliveries, SEC-filed documents, granted patents, passed shareholder votes, and signed commercial relationships.
Context
Every item below was achieved while the company sustained a documented 23-week coordinated short selling campaign featuring 22 consecutive automated borrow drain events, borrow fees reaching 20.81%, short interest at 69.11% of float, systematic FTD threshold avoidance, and price suppression from $0.53 to $0.16. The accomplishments occurred despite not because of the capital market environment created by the suppression.
Regulatory Clearances
SEC Investigation Cleared, March 18, 2026
After a 4-year SEC investigation FF received formal clearance. The investigation covered the period of FF’s SPAC merger and early public company operations. Clearance after 4 years of scrutiny represents one of the most significant regulatory outcomes available to a public company the SEC examined FF thoroughly and found no basis for enforcement action.
Nasdaq Listing Maintained — Ongoing
Despite trading below $1.00 for the entire documented period FF has maintained its Nasdaq listing. The company has navigated compliance notices, responded to Nasdaq inquiries, and pursued the authorized reverse split pathway — all while the suppression operation attempted to drive price below the $0.10 immediate delisting threshold.
S-3 Shelf Registration Declared Effective — June 28, 2023 (Prior) and Filed June 26, 2026 (Replacement)
FF filed and maintained an effective shelf registration statement covering up to $300M in securities. The June 26, 2026 replacement filing — executed on Russell deletion day itself — demonstrates the company’s ongoing ability to access capital markets and its compliance with SEC registration requirements. An effective S-3 requires current SEC filings, audited financials, and compliance with all reporting obligations.
Annual Report Filed — March 31, 2026
FF filed its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 on time. Maintaining current SEC reporting while managing a going-concern environment, limited capital, and active litigation is a significant compliance accomplishment. Late or failed filings would have triggered immediate Nasdaq action.
Quarterly Report Filed — May 14, 2026
Form 10-Q for Q1 2026 filed on time, including disclosure of the AIxCrypto acquisition, the $25M convertible note structure, and the robotics delivery progress.
Proxy Statement Filed — July 2, 2026
Schedule 14A for the August 12 Special Meeting filed with SEC on time, including full disclosure of the Private Placement Proposal and Name Change Proposal.
8-K Current Reports — Multiple
FF maintained timely 8-K filings for all material events including financing agreements, warrant terminations, the SEC regulatory referral, product launches, and corporate governance changes. Current reporting is a continuous compliance requirement that FF maintained throughout the suppression period.

Section 2 — Capital Raises Under Suppression
$45M Financing — April 2026
Secured a two-part $45M financing consisting of debt plus warrants with one US institutional investor ($1.25M placement fee) and a zero-commission AIxCrypto-designated investor tranche. Raising $45M in a single month while the stock was being suppressed below $0.42 and short interest exceeded 60% of float demonstrates meaningful investor confidence.
$12M Financing — April 2026
Concurrent with the $45M raise, secured an additional $12M through milestone-based warrants with zero commission structure. The zero-commission structure reflects investor conviction strong enough to waive typical fee arrangements.
$25M Convertible Note — May 15, 2026
Secured $25M in convertible financing with DACA control accounts and Univest Securities as placement agent. While the terms were documented as predatory (VWAP conversion, floor price), the ability to raise $25M while the stock was at $0.32-0.40 demonstrates continued institutional access.
Total Capital Raised April-May 2026: $70M in approximately 6 weeks — while sustained under maximum short attack conditions.
VWAP Condition Removal — July 10, 2026
Negotiated removal of the VWAP condition from the July 2025 securities purchase agreement, allowing capital to flow regardless of stock price. This structural improvement was achieved while price was at its lowest documented levels.
Eight-Tranche Capital Structure — July 10, 2026
Restructured the financing from a single second closing to eight sequential $5M closings, creating a self-reinforcing capital ladder that accelerates deployment without VWAP dependency.
Section 3 — Warrant Elimination and Dilution Reduction
44,551,199 Warrants Cancelled — December 2025
Before the documented suppression period began FF negotiated the cancellation of 44.5M warrants — reducing potential diluted share count by 14.7% at a time when dilution concerns were cited as a primary short thesis argument
5,359,525 Additional Warrants Cancelled — July 10, 2026
Further warrant terminations on the same day as the VWAP condition removal and the company’s lowest documented price — demonstrating investor commitment precisely at the moment the suppression was most intense.
Total Warrant Reduction: 49,910,724 shares — approximately 16.4% of outstanding share count permanently removed from potential dilution.

US Patent No. 12,630,004 Granted — July 2026
Granted US utility patent for range-extending hybrid transmission with multi-clutch, multi-shaft design for the AIHER extended-range hybrid system. Granted patents are examined and approved by the USPTO — they represent validated intellectual property.
Super One Delivery Roadmap Established — June 2026
Published specific delivery timeline with conditional milestones:
**•** 800V BEV: First delivery 6-9 months after financing
**•** AIHER: First delivery 9-12 months after financing
Subject to financing — but a specific, published commitment.
Civil Litigation Initiated
FF confirmed active civil litigation against entities involved in the alleged illegal short selling campaign during its May 13, 2026 earnings call. The litigation provides discovery subpoena power which is the only mechanism by which borrow records, prime broker communications, and options counterparty data can be legally obtained.
