AIxCrypto Holdings (Nasdaq ticker: AIXC, expected to be changed to FFR) announced that it has signed a non-binding term sheet with Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc (Nasdaq ticker: FFAI), intending to acquire the latter's robotics assets and business. The goal is to become the first company listed on NASDAQ that specializes in a pure robotics ecosystem, and to transform into a platform-based robotics ecosystem company centered around “Four - Core Full - Stack AI”. Both companies' boards of directors have approved this term sheet.

AIxCrypto Holdings and Inc will be renamed FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. The NASDAQ stock code will also be changed to FFR, effective from September 30, 2026. The company stated that with this proposed acquisition, AIxCrypto will completely abandon its crypto strategy, shift towards a pure robotics ecosystem company, and accelerate the achievement of its five-year goal of maintaining a top three comprehensive ranking in the EAI robotics ecosystem market.

According to this non-binding terms list, AIxCrypto will acquire the robotics business of FFAI for approximately $200 million in stock. The price per share will be the lower of the average closing price over the five trading days prior to signing and $2.246. If calculated at $2.246, the fully diluted equity value of AIxCrypto before delivery is approximately $55 million, for illustrative purposes only. If the price per share is below $2.246, AIxCrypto will distribute a one-time special stock dividend to shareholders registered before the delivery date. This dividend will be paid only at the time of delivery and is subject to tax analysis. The transaction still requires due diligence, a formal agreement, and approval from the company's special committee.

According to FFAI, its robotics business has made significant progress in less than a year, exceeding initial expectations. The company has completed the first phase of the " Built in USA " acceleration plan and is now advancing with the " One - Form Multi-Capability " FF EAI Robot World 2.0" initiative. FFAI has launched 24 products in three different robot forms, all of which have obtained FCC certification, and user deliveries are underway. The company's " Four - Core Full - Stack AI " ecosystem is taking shape. As of the end of August, the cumulative sales volume and shipments of EAI devices reached 552 units. In the second quarter, the average gross profit margin of FFAI robot products exceeded 30%, with cumulative revenue amounting to approximately $1.52 million.

According to the preliminary forecast prepared by the management of FFAI specifically for the FF EAI Robotics business, this business is expected to achieve positive operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2028.

These forecasts assume that the unaudited revenue in 2026 will be approximately $7.1 million, and in 2027 it will be around $45.17 million, with gross margins improving over time; the cumulative revenue from 2026 to 2030 is estimated to be about $1.98 billion, and the cumulative sales volume of EAI devices will exceed 130,000 units. The forecasts also assume that the revenue structure will gradually shift from the sale of EAI devices to EAI Brain, Developer Platform, Industry Productivity Solutions, EAI Data Factory and related services, with the proportion of revenue from the ecosystem expected to increase significantly. AIxC has not adopted these forecasts as company guidance.

If the transaction is completed, FF EAI Robotics will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIxC. Its operating performance, capital requirements, and uses of capital will be incorporated into the financial statements of AIxC, subject to the terms of the transaction settlement.

After the transaction is completed, FFAI is expected to incorporate the financial results of FFR into its own financial statements in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to its interest in FFR under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This is expected to be reflected starting from the 10-K report for the fiscal year 2026, which is close to the settlement date.

The company stated that it will proceed in an orderly manner with the formal agreement, financing, and transaction settlement.

AIxCrypto indicates that the proposed transaction still requires formal agreement, approval from a special committee and shareholders, as well as other customary delivery conditions, and may not necessarily be completed.

FFAI describes this business as a “four-core full-stack AI” ecosystem composed of EAI Brain, Developer Platform, EAI Devices, Industry Productivity Solutions, and EAI Data Factory. EAI Brain supports the company's development of technology, products, and ecosystems in the “One - Brain Multi - Form Multi - Capability” areas, and Developer Platform is also continuously expanding. FF EAI Robot World 2.0 covers three types of robots, five product series, 11 models, and 24 products, all of which are now available for sale and delivery. As of the end of August, a total of 552 FF EAI robots have been shipped; in the company's unaudited financial report for the second quarter of 2026, the gross profit margin of the robotics business was approximately 30.9%. FFAI has also launched four industry productivity solutions for K-12 education, scientific research, security, and inspection, and will accumulate real-world data through continuous sales and multi-scenario deployments to strengthen the data collection, training, and application loop, further driving the evolution and growth of technology and business.

As the proposed acquisition involves related-party transactions, and FFAI is the controlling shareholder of the company, the board of directors has established a special committee consisting of two independent directors, Chen Shi and Jason E. The special committee unanimously approved the terms list and recommended it to the board of directors for agreement. After adopting the special committee's recommendation, the board of directors also unanimously approved the signing of the terms list. However, the approval of the terms list by both the special committee and the board of directors does not constitute an approval of the proposed acquisition or any related formal agreements. Any formal agreement and proposed acquisition still require ongoing review and favorable recommendations from the special committee after its assessment, including consideration of the terms of the formal agreement and receipt of opinions on fairness that satisfy the special committee, as well as approval by the board of directors upon the recommendation of the special committee.

In the proposed transaction, AIxCrypto will acquire FFAI's robotics business for 200 million US dollars in stock.

The price per share will be the lower of $2.246 and the average closing price over the five trading days prior to the signing. Based on $2.246, the fully diluted equity value of AIxCrypto before delivery is approximately $55 million, for illustrative purposes only.

If the price per share is below $2.246, AIxCrypto will distribute a one-time special stock dividend to shareholders registered before the delivery date. This dividend will be paid only at the time of delivery and is subject to tax analysis.

Transactions still require due diligence, a formal agreement, and approval from the company's special committee.

The shares issued to FFAI will be subject to a 18-month lock-up period, with the specific terms subject to the formal agreement.

After completing its strategic transformation, FFR (currently AIxC) plans to establish a platform that covers the entire lifecycle of robotics services, including research and development, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, deployment, data management, and operations. Through its "four-core full-stack AI" approach, FFR aims to build a platform-based robotics ecosystem and drive the American embodied AI robotics industry into an era of full-ecosystem competition. The company stated that after becoming the first robotics ecosystem company to list on NASDAQ, FFR will be committed to defining and establishing core EAI for the robotics industry as well as valuation benchmarks, in order to promote a broader recognition of its value.

With continuous growth in sales and revenue, significant breakthroughs achieved in " Four - Core Full - Stack AI ", accelerated progress in " Built in USA ", and the continuous accumulation of data across multiple scenarios, FFR aims to maintain a top-three comprehensive ranking in the EAI robotics ecosystem market over the next five years and to rapidly advance towards the realization of its five-year business plan objectives.

The company will also continue to advance its existing businesses, including RoboShare. The goal of RoboShare is to become one of the top two robot sharing and leasing platforms in the United States. FFR will explore business synergies among robot sales, leasing, deployment, and operational services, expand the application scenarios of robots, and enhance the value of user services.

According to the preliminary forecasts of the management at FFAI, the total revenue of the “four-core full-stack AI” ecosystem of FF EAI Robotics business is expected to reach $7.1 million in 2026, with a positive gross margin. In 2027, the total revenue is expected to reach $45.17 million, and the gross margin is projected to increase to 30.5%, marking the business as entering a stage with higher gross margins. The cumulative revenue over five years is estimated to be about $1.98 billion, with the gross margin gradually rising to around 54% by 2030. With the development of EAI Brain, Developer Platform, Industry Productivity Solutions, EAI Data Factory and the service business, the proportion of ecosystem revenue is expected to increase from 22% in 2026 to 49%, further reflecting the value of the “four-core full-stack AI” ecosystem. The company also plans to significantly increase its research and development investment, with a cumulative investment of about $300 million over five years, in order to maintain its leadership in products and technology. The actual results may differ significantly from these projections.

FFAI Management expects that the sales target for EAI devices will be 2,001 units in 2026 and 7,400 units in 2027, with a cumulative total of over 130,000 units over five years. Data services are expected to grow rapidly, and the cumulative data supply over five years will exceed 19 million hours to support the continuous optimization and improvement of computing power of EAI Brain. The company believes that, unlike the "One Form Does It All" model pursued by competitors such as Figure AI and Agility Robotics, a single form is difficult to cover all application scenarios. By continuously advancing the research and development of "One Brain and Multiple Forms", the company will support the scaled deployment of various robot forms while maintaining strong product competitiveness.

FFR It is expected that Industry Productivity Solutions will first focus on applications in education and scientific research, safety and inspection, as well as industrial and service sectors, and then expand to more vertical fields, thereby accelerating the industry deployment and application of multi-form, multi-capability robots.

Through this proposed acquisition, FFR plans to establish an independent platform to uncover and unleash the value of its robotics business, and to support the five-year business plan objectives of the management team at FFAI.

Within two years after the delivery, FFAI and its related parties intend to comply with non-compete agreements in the regions where FFR and its related parties carry out robotics business. The specific terms and scope of application will still depend on the formal agreement signed by both parties.

At the time of the formal agreement signing, FFAI and AIxC plan to sign an Investor Rights Agreement that clarifies the governance arrangements agreed upon by both parties, including the right to nominate members of the board of directors for AIxC. It is expected that these arrangements will be similar to those between FFGP and FFAI.

Subsequently, FFR will proceed in an orderly manner with the formal agreement, financing, and transaction settlement. Once the transaction is completed, the company will announce the strategy and business plan for the next phase under FFR.

AIxC, the Global CEO and Director, Jerry Wang, as well as FF, the Global Executive Chairman Jerry Wang, stated: "We would like to thank FFAI for their support of this proposed transaction, and also acknowledge the solid foundation laid by FFAI in the areas of robotics technology, products, supply chain, and ecosystem construction. This proposed acquisition is an important step in AIxC's strategic transformation. Upon completion of the transaction, AIxC will focus on its robotics business, driving the commercialization, scaled deployment, and value creation of its 'Four - Core Full - Stack AI' ecosystem, with the goal of creating significant value for shareholders."

The company will hold a teleconference and webcast on September 29, 2026, to discuss this proposed transaction, strategic reasons, expected financial and operational benefits, as well as the company's long-term growth plans. Executives from both companies will provide more details about the transaction and answer questions.
