What happened
AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIXC) said it signed a non-binding term sheet to acquire Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.'s robotics business. The board of FFAI and AIxC approved the term sheet. AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. will be renamed FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc., and its NASDAQ symbol will change to FFR, effective September 30, 2026.
Under the term sheet, AIxC would buy the 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 before signing. At $2.246, the filing says the pre-closing equity value would be about $55 million on a fully diluted basis, for illustration only. If the per-share price is below $2.246, AIxC would declare a one-time special stock dividend to holders of record before closing.
Key numbers
| Metric | Latest | Change | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proposed acquisition consideration | around $200 million in stock | SEC 8-K | |
| Illustrative pre-closing equity value | approximately $55 million | SEC 8-K | |
| Cumulative shipments by end of August | 552 units | SEC 8-K | |
| Unaudited second quarter 2026 gross margin | approximately 30.9% | SEC 8-K | |
| 2027 revenue projection | approximately $45.17 million | SEC 8-K | |
| Projected cumulative revenue over five years | approximately $1.98 billion | SEC 8-K |
Why it matters
Those figures put the proposed consideration at roughly 3.6 times the illustrative $55 million equity value. That shows how much the deal would change the company. The filing also gives the main risk: the term sheet is non-binding, and AIxC has not adopted the projections as guidance. The stock case still depends on execution, not the announcement alone.
What's next
AIxCrypto plans a conference call and webcast on September 29, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. ET / 5:30 a.m. PT. The name change to FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. and the ticker change to FFR are set for September 30, 2026. The deal still needs diligence, definitive agreements, and approval from the company's Special Committee. If those steps move ahead, the pivot case improves. If they stall, it weakens.
