AIxCrypto Holdings (NASDAQ: AIXC soon to be traded under FFR), Signs Term Sheet with Faraday Future to Acquire its Robotics Business at an Estimated $200 Million Valuation, Aiming to be the First Nasdaq-Listed Pure-Play Robotics Ecosystem Company
- AIxC (FFR) proposes to acquire FFAI's robotics business, targeting to become the first Nasdaq-listed pure-play robotics ecosystem company and transforming into a platform-based EAI robotics ecosystem company centered on "Four-Core Full-Stack AI." Now both the Board of FFAI and AIxC have approved the Term Sheet.
- AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. will be renamed FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. and change its NASDAQ symbol to FFR, effective September 30, 2026. Through this proposed acquisition, AIxC will discontinue its crypto strategy entirely and transform into a pure-play Robotics Ecosystem Company, accelerate achievement of its five-year goal to maintain a Top 3 comprehensive ranking in the EAI robotics ecosystem market.
- Under the non-binding term sheet, AIxC would acquire FFAI's robotics business for around $200 million in stock.
- The per share price would be the lower of $2.246 or the five-day average closing price prior to signing. At $2.246, AIxC's pre-closing equity value would be approximately $55 million on a fully diluted basis, shown for illustrative purposes only. If the per share price is below $2.246, AIxC would declare a one-time special stock dividend to holders of record prior to closing. The dividend would be payable only on closing and remains subject to tax analysis. The transaction is subject to diligence, definitive agreements, and approval of the Company's special committee.
- In less than one year, FFAI's EAI robotics business has achieved significant progress, exceeding initial expectations. The Company has completed Phase One of its "Built in USA" Acceleration Program and is advancing the "One-Brain Multi-Form, Multi-Capability" FF EAI Robot World 2.0. FFAI has launched 24 products across three robot forms, all of which have received FCC certification, with user deliveries underway. The Company's "Four-Core Full-Stack AI" Ecosystem is beginning to take shape. By the end of August, cumulative EAI Device sales and shipments reached 552 units. In the second quarter, the average gross margin of FFAI's robotics products exceeded 30%, while cumulative revenue reached approximately $1.52 million.
- Under preliminary projections prepared by FFAI management for the FF EAI Robotics business on a standalone basis, the business is projected to reach positive operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2028.
- Those projections contemplate unaudited revenue of approximately $7.1 million in 2026 and approximately $45.17 million in 2027, with gross margins expected to improve over time, along with cumulative 2026–2030 revenue of approximately $1.98 billion and growing cumulative EAI Device sales exceeding 130,000 units. They also contemplate a shift in revenue mix from EAI Device sales toward the EAI Brain and Developer Platform, Industry Productivity Solutions, the EAI Data Factory and related services, with ecosystem revenue expected to become a materially larger share. AIxC has not adopted these projections as Company guidance.
- If the transaction is completed, FF EAI Robotics would become a wholly owned subsidiary of AIxC, and its operating performance, capital requirements and uses of capital would be reported within AIxC's financial statements, subject to the deal closing.
- Following completion of the proposed transaction, FFAI is expected to consolidate FFR's financial results into its own financial statements based on the applicable accounting treatment of FFAI's interest in FFR under U.S. GAAP, with such consolidation expected to be reflected beginning with FFAI's fiscal year 2026 Form 10-K, around the time of closing.
- The Company will advance definitive agreements, financing, and transaction closing in an orderly manner.
