Analysis · FFAI · Manufacturing
A non-binding term sheet signed by Faraday Future would sell its robotics business to AIxCrypto Holdings, its majority-owned subsidiary, at a $200 million valuation. Because Global Executive Chairman Jerry Wang also serves as CEO of AIxC, the deal is a related-party transaction, prompting a Special Committee of independent directors to review it. Faraday Future would receive AIxC common stock and non-voting convertible preferred stock, subject to an 18-month lock-up, and would become AIxC's largest controlling stockholder. The proposed sale includes a potential special stock dividend of $2.246 per share to existing stockholders. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2026, contingent on definitive agreements, fairness opinions, and Nasdaq and regulatory approvals. For a company with only $11.2 million in unrestricted cash and a going-concern warning, this deal is a strategic pivot that could unlock value in the robotics business while reducing future dilution pressure on Faraday Future shareholders.
