Summary
Faraday Future filed charter amendments on May 27, 2026, significantly expanding its authorized share count and cleaning up its capital structure. The company increased authorized common stock by 140.5 million shares (45%) and preferred stock by 10.8 million shares (45%), following stockholder approval at the May 22 annual meeting.
This expansion gives management substantially more flexibility to raise capital, make acquisitions, or issue employee compensation, but creates meaningful dilution risk for existing shareholders if the new authorization is utilized. Simultaneously, the company eliminated its Series A Preferred Stock designation after all outstanding shares were automatically redeemed.
This administrative action simplifies the capital structure by removing an inactive security class. For retail investors, the key concern is the authorized share expansion: while stockholder-approved, the 45% increase in authorized shares signals potential future equity issuances that could dilute ownership. Watch for subsequent 8-Ks or proxy filings that disclose actual share issuances under this expanded authorization, particularly any at-the-market offerings or large institutional placements that would immediately impact share price and ownership percentages.

The Certificate of Elimination (i) eliminated the previous designation of one (1) share of FFAI Series A Preferred Stock from the Charter, which was not outstanding at the time of filing, and (ii) caused such share of FFAI Series A Preferred Stock to resume its status as an authorized but unissued and non-designated share of preferred stock.
The elimination removed the designation of one share of Series A Preferred Stock from the charter and converted it back to authorized but unissued and non-designated preferred stock. This simplifies the capital structure by removing a preferred stock class that no longer has outstanding shares.
