FFR ( AIxC ) and Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc (. FFAI ) have disclosed more details regarding the proposed acquisition of FFAI's robotics business. Both parties stated that the transaction is valued at approximately $200 million for FFAI's robotics assets and business, and mentioned a potential special stock dividend of $2.246 per share, which they said will directly benefit existing shareholders.

According to the announcement, FFR has signed a non-binding term sheet with FFAI to acquire the robot assets and business of FFAI in the form of all shares. Calculated at $2.246 per share, the equity value of FFR before delivery is approximately 55 million US dollars, based on a fully diluted basis, for illustrative purposes only.

If the price per share at the time of signing is lower than $2.246, FFR will announce a one-time special stock dividend to shareholders registered before the delivery date in order to bring the total equity value up to $2.246 per share. This dividend will be paid only after the transaction is completed and is subject to tax analysis.

AIxCrypto Holdings and Inc will be renamed FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. Starting from September 30, 2026, their NASDAQ ticker will also be changed to FFR. The company stated that through this proposed acquisition, FFR will completely abandon its crypto strategy and transform into a pure robotics ecosystem company, accelerating its goal of maintaining a top three comprehensive ranking in the EAI robotics ecosystem market within five years.

Announcement states that in less than a year, FFAI has launched 24 products, covering three types of robot forms, all of which have obtained FCC certification. As of the end of August, the cumulative sales and shipments of EAI devices reached 552 units. In the second quarter, the average gross profit margin of FFAI's " Four - Core Full - Stack AI " robot products exceeded 30%, with cumulative revenue of approximately 1.52 million US dollars.

According to preliminary forecasts, the business is expected to achieve positive operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2028. The forecast also includes: unaudited revenue of approximately $7.1 million in 2026 and about $45.17 million in 2027; gross margin is expected to gradually increase from 30.5% in 2027 to 54% by 2030; cumulative revenue from 2026 to 2030 is estimated at approximately $1.98 billion, and the cumulative sales volume of EAI devices will exceed 130,000 units.

The company also expects that the revenue structure will gradually shift from EAI device sales to EAI Brain and developer platforms, industry productivity solutions, EAI data factories, and related services, with the proportion of revenue from the ecosystem expected to increase significantly.

FFR, headquartered in Los Angeles, announced on September 29th that it has signed a non-binding term sheet with Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company (NASDAQ : FFAI), intending to acquire the robot assets and business of FFAI in exchange for all its shares, with an estimated value of about 200 million US dollars. FFR stated that upon completion of the transaction, its goal is to become the first pure robotics ecosystem company listed on NASDAQ.

This transaction still requires the completion of due diligence, signing of a formal agreement, and approval from the special committees of FFR and FFAI, as well as relevant approvals and other customary delivery conditions, and it is not certain that it will be completed.

If the transaction is completed, FFR is expected to obtain an independent platform for advancing the commercialization, deployment, and long-term development of its robotics business.

Reasons for a $200 million valuation

FFAI and FFR believe that robotics represents one of the most attractive opportunities in the emerging Physical AI sector. The driving factors include an accelerating demand for automation, broader adoption of AI, and the potential for creating long-term shareholder value. Unlike traditional manufacturing businesses, the robotics industry is expected to adopt a low-capital model that combines software, AI services, data, industry-specific solutions, and ecosystem revenues with more capital-efficient production and deployment strategies.

FFAI and FFR believe that a focused, independent robotics platform, equipped with dedicated capital, independent reporting, and a single strategic goal, can unleash business value.

If the transaction is completed, FFR plans to build a platform-based EAI robot ecosystem that covers the entire lifecycle of robots, including research and development, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, deployment, data management, and operations.

The ecosystem is expected to consist of EAI Brain, a developer platform, EAI devices, industry productivity solutions, and EAI data factories. EAI Brain supports the development of FFR's " One - Brain Multi - Form , Multi-Capability " technology, products, and ecosystem, and the developer platform will also continue to expand.

In less than a year, the business of FF EAI Robotics that FFR intends to acquire has launched three types of robots, five product series, 11 models, and 24 products in total. All of these have obtained FCC certification and are ready for sale and delivery. This business has already achieved commercial delivery of humanoid and bionic robot products.

As of the end of August, the cumulative shipment volume of the FF EAI robot reached 552 units; in the unaudited financial report for the second quarter of 2026, the average gross profit margin for this robot business's products " Four - Core Full - Stack AI " was approximately 30.9%, with cumulative revenue amounting to about 1.52 million US dollars. This business also launched four industry productivity solutions targeting K-12 education, scientific research, security, and inspection tasks.

According to the preliminary forecast prepared by the management of FFAI for the FF EAI Robotics business as an independent entity, this business is expected to achieve positive operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2028. The total revenue of the Four - Core Full - Stack AI ecosystem is estimated to be around $7.1 million in 2026, with a positive gross margin. In 2027, the total revenue is expected to be around $45.17 million, and as the business enters a stage with higher gross margins, the gross margin is expected to increase to 30.5%.

Within a five-year period, the cumulative revenue is expected to be approximately $1.98 billion, with the gross margin gradually rising to around 54% by 2030. With the development of EAI Brain, developer platforms, industry productivity solutions, EAI data factories, and related services, the proportion of ecosystem revenue in total revenue is expected to increase from 22% in 2026 to 49% over the five-year period.

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, with a cumulative data supply of over 19 million hours over the same period, to support the continuous optimization and enhancement of computing power of EAI Brain.

The above forecasts were prepared by the management of FFAI for the FF EAI Robotics business as independent entities, and have not been adopted by FFR as company guidelines. Furthermore, these forecasts may change, and the actual results could differ significantly from the predicted outcomes.

A potential special stock dividend of $2.246 per share provides direct benefits to existing shareholders.

According to the non-binding terms list, the proposed price per share will be the lower of the average closing price over the five trading days prior to signing and $2.246. If the price per share is below $2.246 at the time of signing, FFR will announce a one-time special stock dividend to shareholders registered before the delivery date in order to bring the total equity value up to $2.246 per share. This dividend will only be paid after the transaction is completed and is still subject to tax analysis. The specific terms of the proposed transaction, including the special stock dividend mechanism, still require due diligence, a formal agreement, and approval from a special committee.

FFR strives to rank among the top three in the EAI robotics ecosystem within the next five years

FFR believes that the robotics business is an attractive, low-capital-intensive venture that can generate continuous revenue and growth. It boasts a positive gross profit margin on products, a clear path for growth, relatively limited overall capital requirements to achieve profitability, and a steadily increasing cash flow from operations.

FFR indicates that the company can utilize its listing platform and independent financing capabilities to transform from a platform whose valuation is primarily driven by external asset price fluctuations to a listed company centered on the real economy business of emerging industries. The company's capital efficiency and business growth will become clearer and more traceable, and the transparency and quality of its financial reporting are also expected to improve. As resources are fully focused on the robotics strategy, changes in the operating environment may reshape financing logic, transaction terms, and capital costs. Improved financing conditions may in turn accelerate business development, creating a positive cycle where value creation and financing optimization promote each other.

FFR will continue to advance the formal agreement, financing arrangements, and transaction completion in an orderly manner. After the transaction is completed, FFR is expected to announce the next phase of its strategy and business plan.

Management Teleconference

FFR will hold a teleconference and live webcast to discuss this proposed transaction, strategic reasons, expected financial and operational benefits, as well as long-term growth plans. Executives from both companies will provide more details about the transaction and there will also be a Q&A session.
