AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO SCHEDULE 13D

Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer on August 2, 2021, as amended on May 17, 2022, June 24, 2022, June 27, 2022, July 15, 2022, July 18, 2022, August 2, 2022, August 8, 2022, August 23, 2022 and September 9, 2022 (as so amended through September 9, 2022, the “Original Schedule 13D” and together with this Amendment No. 10, the “Schedule 13D”).  Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 10 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
 
ITEM 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

“On September 15, 2022, FF Top delivered a Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designees (the “Second Nomination Notice”) to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Shareholder Agreement dated as of July 21, 2021, by and between FF Top and the Issuer (the “Shareholder Agreement”).  The Second Nomination Notice explicitly supersedes the Notice of Nomination of Replacement FF Top Designee delivered by FF Top to the Company on June 23, 2022 (the “Original Nomination Notice”) and states that FF Top is nominating (i) Ms. Li Han (who was originally nominated to replace Mr. Brian Krolicki as an FF Top Designee pursuant to the Original Nomination Notice) to the Board of Directors as replacement FF Top Designee for Ms. Susan Swenson and (ii) Mr. Xin (Adam) He, currently a senior business executive and Certified Public Accountant, to the Board of Directors as replacement FF Top Designee for Mr. Brian Krolicki.  The Second Nomination Notice states that FF Top expects Ms. Han and Mr. He to be appointed to the Board of Directors by 4:05 pm, New York time, on September 15, 2022. The Second Nomination Notice also states the following, among other things:


‘With respect to Ms. Han, FF Top further notes that the Board [of Directors] no longer needs to agree with FF Top that Ms. Han is independent under Nasdaq rules in order to appoint her to the Board [of Directors] since she is being nominated to replace Ms. Swenson, who is not an independent director.’

‘The Board [of Directors] has had almost three months to consider Ms. Han’s qualifications and almost two months to consider Mr. He’s qualifications.’

A copy of the Second Nomination Notice is included as Exhibit 11 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.  As of the date hereof, the Issuer has not complied with the Second Nomination Notice.

On September 19, 2022, FF Top filed a lawsuit against the Issuer, Ms. Swenson and Mr. Krolicki in the Delaware Court of Chancery to enforce its rights under the Shareholder Agreement.”

Item 7.
Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
 
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented to include the following exhibit:

Second Nomination Notice, dated September 15, 2022.
