A Differentiated and Compelling Investment Opportunity

Risk factors (cont'd) - - Substantial aspects of our business and operation may be based in China, which will be subject to economic, operational and legal risks specific to China. Further, if our operations and markets are substantially based on in China, we may need to rely on dividends and other distributions paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us, including but not limited to foreign currencies control, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation, including our ability to conduct business, or limit our ability to grow. We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulations on internet-related business, automotive businesses and other business carried out by our PRC subsidiaries, including China's newly enacted Foreign Investment Law. Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, including tariffs, export and import controls and laws, particularly with regard to China, may adversely impact our business and operating results. Any independent registered public accounting firm operating in China that we use as an auditor for our operation in China will not permitted to be subject to inspection by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and as such, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. In addition, if additional remedial measures are imposed on PRC-based accounting firms, the financial statements prepared by such PRC-based accounting firms may be determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, if at all. Continued or increased price competition in the automotive industry generally, and in electric and other alternative energy vehicles in particular, may harm our business. The automotive markets are highly competitive. We face competition from a number of sources, including new and established domestic and international competitors, and expect to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technology. This fierce competition may impair our revenues, increase our costs to acquire new customers, and hinder our ability to acquire new customers. Our go to market and sales strategy, including Faraday Future-owned and dealer-owned stores as well as an online web platform, will require substantial investment and commitment of resources and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Difficult economic conditions, financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may affect consumer purchases of luxury or discretionary items, such as our electric vehicles. We face risks related to natural disasters, health epidemics and pandemics, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other circumstances outside our control, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, which could significantly disrupt our operations. If we are unable to attract and/or retain key employees and hire qualified personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed. If our employees were to engage in strikes or other work stoppages, or if third-party strikes or work stoppages cause supply chain interruptions, and our business, prospects, operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Unionization activities or labor disputes may disrupt our operations and affect our profitability. The discovery of defects in vehicles may result in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns or increased warranty costs. Additionally, discovery of such defects and related recalls may adversely affect our brand and result in a decrease in the residual value of our vehicles, which may materially harm our business. We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims. We may not be able to obtain patent protection on certain of our technological developments because some of our existing applications were abandoned and applicable filing deadlines for seeking to protect such technologies may have passed in the United States and around the world. 2021 FARADAY FUTURE 53 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL R
