As of the end of August, cumulative shipments of FF EAI robots reached 552 units, and the robotics business recorded a gross margin of approximately 30.9% in the Company’s unaudited second quarter 2026 financial results. FFAI’s robotics business has also launched four Industry Productivity Solutions for K-12 Education, Research, Security and Inspection, and will use continued sales and multi-scenario deployments to accumulate scenario-specific real-world data, strengthen the data collection, training and application loop, and further power an evolutionary flywheel for technology and business development.
Due to the related-party nature of the proposed acquisition as FFAI is the Company’s majority stockholder, a special committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), composed of Chen Shi and Jason E. Dodier, both independent directors, was formed in connection with the proposed acquisition. The Special Committee unanimously approved the execution of the term sheet and recommended the same to the Board. Acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board unanimously approved the execution of the term sheet. Approval of the term sheet by the Special Committee and the Board does not constitute approval of the proposed acquisition or any definitive agreement related thereto. Any definitive agreement and the proposed acquisition remain subject to the Special Committee’s ongoing review and favorable recommendation following completion of its evaluation, including consideration of the terms of the definitive agreement and receipt of a fairness opinion satisfactory to the Special Committee, and approval by the Board acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee.
AIxC Proposes a Special Stock Dividend Mechanism Based on a $2.246 Per-Share Reference Price
Under the non-binding term sheet, AIxC would acquire FFAI’s robotics business for $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.
Shares issued to FFAI would be subject to an 18-month lock-up period, with specific terms subject to the definitive agreements.
FFR Aims to Maintain a Top-Three Comprehensive Ranking in the EAI Robotics Ecosystem Market Over Five Years Through “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” Strategy
Following its strategic transformation, FFR (currently AIxC) anticipates that it will build a business covering the full lifecycle of the robotics business, including R&D, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, deployment, data and operations. Through “Four-Core Full-Stack AI,” FFR expects to build a platform-based EAI robotics ecosystem and usher in an era of competition across the full ecosystem in the U.S. embodied AI robotics industry. In anticipation of becoming the first Nasdaq-listed pure-play robotics ecosystem company, FFR intends to define and establish core EAI robotics industry and valuation benchmarks that drive broader value recognition.
With continued growth in sales and revenue, major breakthroughs in “Four-Core Full-Stack AI,” accelerated implementation of Built in USA, and ongoing multi-scenario data accumulation, FFR aims to achieve and maintain a top-three comprehensive ranking in the EAI robotics ecosystem market over the next five years and rapidly advance achievement of its five-year business-plan objectives.
The Company will continue to pursue its existing businesses, including RoboShare, following the proposed transaction. RoboShare aims to become one of the top two robot-sharing and rental platforms in the United States. FFR will explore business synergies across robot sales, leasing, deployment and operating services, expand robotics application scenarios, and enhance user-service value.
FFR Anticipates Revenue to Evolve from EAI Device Sales to Four-Core Ecosystem Growth, With Ecosystem Revenue Reaching 49% Over Five Years
Under preliminary projections prepared by FFAI management, the FF EAI Robotics business anticipates total revenue from the Four-Core Full-Stack AI ecosystem is expected to reach $7.1 million in 2026, with a positive gross margin. Total revenue is expected to reach $45.17 million in 2027, with gross margin increasing to 30.5% as the business enters a higher-margin phase. Over five years, the projected cumulative revenue of around $1.98 billion, with gross margin gradually rising to about 54% in 2030. As the EAI Brain and Developer Platform, Industry Productivity Solutions, EAI Data Factory and service businesses develop, ecosystem revenue is expected to increase from 22% in 2026 to 49%, further demonstrating the value of the Four-Core Full-Stack AI ecosystem. The Company also expects to significantly increase R&D investment, with a cumulative five-year investment of approximately $300 million to maintain product and technology leadership. Actual results may differ materially.
FFAI management projects that EAI Device unit sales are targeted at 2,001 units in 2026 and 7,400 units in 2027, exceeding 130,000 units cumulatively over five years. The data business is expected to grow rapidly, with cumulative five-year data supply exceeding 19 million hours, supporting the continued optimization of the EAI Brain and advancement of its computing capabilities. While peers such as Figure AI and Agility Robotics pursue a “One Form Does It All” model, FFR believes that relying on a single form to address every use case has inherent limits. Through ongoing “One Brain, Multiple Forms” R&D, the Company will support the scaled deployment of multiple robot forms while maintaining strong product competitiveness.
FFR anticipates that Industry Productivity Solutions will initially focus on education and research, security and inspection, industrial, and service-sector productivity applications, before expanding into additional verticals. This will accelerate the industry’s deployment and application of robots with multiple forms and capabilities.
Standalone Listing of Robotics Business Expected to Unlock Value
Through the proposed acquisition, FFR plans to establish a standalone platform to discover and unlock the value of the robotics business and support FFAI management’s five-year business-plan objectives.
For two years following closing, FFAI and its affiliates propose to observe non-competition restrictions in territories where FFR and its affiliates conduct robotics business. The specific terms and applicable scope remain subject to definitive agreements signed by the parties.
At the signing of the definitive agreements, FFAI and AIxC plan to enter into an Investor Rights Agreement setting forth governance arrangements agreed by the parties, including rights to nominate members of AIxC’s Board of Directors. These arrangements are expected to be like the governance arrangements between FFGP and FFAI.
Next, FFR will advance definitive agreements, financing, and transaction closing in an orderly manner. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will announce FFR’s next-stage strategy and business plan.
“AIxC appreciates FFAI’s support for this proposed transaction, as well as the strong foundation FFAI has built in EAI robotics technology, products, supply chain and ecosystem development. This proposed acquisition represents an important step in AIxC’s strategic transformation. Following completion of the transaction, AIxC will focus on the robotics business and drive the commercialization, scaled deployment and value creation of its Four-Core Full-Stack AI ecosystem, with the goal of creating substantial value for stockholders,” said Jerry Wang, Global CEO & Director of AIxC and Global Executive Chairman of FF.
Management Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the proposed transaction, its strategic rationale, expected financial and operational benefits, and the Company’s long-term growth plans. Executives from both organizations will provide additional details regarding the transaction, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Lacuna Ads Brings Supply, Demand and Intelligence Together to Catalyze Programmatic Growth
Published
28 minutes agoon
September 30, 2026By
SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global advertising technology company Lacuna today introduced Lacuna Ads, its integrated programmatic advertising ecosystem. At its core is Lacuna’s exclusive owned-and-operated (O&O) inventory from its flagship utility app and a broader portfolio of utility and gaming products, which together have recorded more than 2.4 billion installs. Building on this foundation, Lacuna Ads aims to serve as a catalyst for programmatic growth by improving coordination, increasing transaction efficiency, and helping partners unlock more value from every impression.
As programmatic advertising continues to scale and mature, better coordination across the ecosystem can create new opportunities for growth. While fragmented data and capabilities, duplicated technology infrastructure, and inefficient matching can limit that potential, Lacuna Ads takes a more integrated approach to addressing these gaps.
That approach reflects Lacuna’s hands-on experience across programmatic advertising. Beginning with publisher operations, Lacuna expanded into ad exchange infrastructure and subsequently developed DSP capabilities, gaining practical insight into the priorities of publishers, advertisers, DSPs, supply-side platforms (SSPs), and platform teams.
That experience now underpins three complementary offerings. Lacuna Axis serves as the ad exchange and transaction foundation, connecting programmatic buyers and sellers at global scale. Lacuna Engine extends the company’s capabilities to the demand side through real-time bidding and media-buying optimization, while Lacuna Agent delivers proven exchange capabilities through a self-service SaaS platform for platform teams seeking to build and operate their own programmatic infrastructure. Across this ecosystem, Lacuna Ads applies data intelligence to traffic routing, inventory matching, bidding decisions, and dynamic yield optimization.
Michael Wang, CEO of Lacuna, commented: “Our capabilities have developed progressively as we addressed real challenges in publisher monetization, global marketplace connectivity, and demand-side performance. Productizing these capabilities allows us to bring what we’ve proven in our own operations to the broader ecosystem. That is how we define our role as a catalyst: connecting participants and capabilities so they can work together more effectively.”
This positioning is supported by Lacuna’s global operating scale. The company processes more than 200 billion daily requests and 180 million daily impressions worldwide. Its supply foundation combines exclusive O&O inventory with direct publisher relationships, giving buyers access to a broad range of differentiated media opportunities.
“Supply partners need effective access to relevant and diversified demand, while buyers need reliable media opportunities with clearer paths to quality inventory,” said Tammy Tan, Chief Business Officer of Lacuna. “Our team brings extensive experience across the advertising industry and a practical understanding of the priorities on both sides. By combining O&O and direct supply, diversified global demand, and real-time optimization, we can help partners improve matching efficiency and create more value from each impression.”
As programmatic advertising evolves, Lacuna Ads plans to extend its capabilities to more ecosystem participants, strengthen coordination between the supply and demand sides of the ecosystem, and help partners identify new growth opportunities through more efficient, data-driven decision-making.
About Lacuna Ads
Developed by Lacuna, a global advertising technology company founded in 2022, Lacuna Ads is an integrated programmatic advertising ecosystem that delivers an end-to-end suite of solutions comprising an ad exchange, an intelligent demand-side optimization platform, and a full-stack self-service SaaS platform. Powered by O&O traffic and proprietary data models refined over time, Lacuna Ads embeds data intelligence and AI optimization throughout the ecosystem, establishing a distinct edge across key markets in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Automotive electronics solutions company builds on smart key supply experience in Taiwan to expand overseas with AI-based around-view and pedal misapplication prevention technologies
SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Automotive electronics solutions company AP MOBILITY is expanding into the global automotive aftermarket, leveraging its vehicle convenience and safety technologies. Building on the experience it has gained supplying smart key solutions in Taiwan, the company is broadening its overseas business by expanding its product lineup to include AI-based 360-degree around-view and pedal misapplication prevention solutions.
AP MOBILITY develops and supplies a range of mobility solutions based on automotive electronics technology, designed to enhance vehicle safety and convenience. Its flagship products include MAX PRO, an AI-based 360-degree around-view solution; S KEY, a smart key solution that adds a range of convenience features primarily for Hyundai and Kia vehicles; and AB LIGHT, a vehicle safety solution developed to prevent accidents caused by pedal misapplication.
MAX PRO allows drivers to view their surroundings through 360-degree video, helping them more easily identify blind spots and hazards to improve visibility while parking and driving. AP MOBILITY is advancing the technology by combining video technology with vehicle safety to supplement driver visibility.
S KEY is a solution that expands vehicle convenience features by building on the factory smart key systems of Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It is designed to add a variety of functions, including automatic door lock/unlock, lock-while-running, and remote control. Noting that Hyundai and Kia vehicles are also widely distributed overseas, the company is extending the vehicle-specific technology application experience it has accumulated domestically into international markets.
AP MOBILITY has been building its overseas business experience in Taiwan primarily through S KEY LITE. The company has supplied products to local Taiwanese distributors since 2025, shipping approximately 1,100 units to Taiwan between the second half of 2025 and August 2026. Through this experience, the company has confirmed the product’s applicability and competitiveness in overseas markets, and plans to further expand overseas supply of S KEY and other automotive electronics products.
Driver safety is another area AP MOBILITY is focusing on for future overseas expansion. Beyond expanding convenience features for existing vehicles, the company is broadening its business into electronics solutions that enhance the safety of both drivers and vehicles.
AB LIGHT reflects this strategy. The product was developed to address risks that can arise from pedal misapplication. It analyzes vehicle CAN data in real time to assess pedal operation and driving conditions, issuing visual and audible warnings when abnormal operation is detected. If dangerous acceleration continues, the system is designed to cut off the accelerator pedal signal. Notably, it is designed to be installed as an aftermarket solution without requiring modification of the vehicle’s ECU.
AP MOBILITY notes that pedal misapplication is not a risk confined to any particular age group, but one that can affect any driver. Building on AB LIGHT’s ability to be retrofitted onto existing vehicles, the company plans to identify new demand for safety solutions in the automotive aftermarket.
A notable aspect of AP MOBILITY’s global strategy is that while each product serves a different function, they share a common thread as aftermarket electronics solutions that complement the functionality and safety of existing vehicles. MAX PRO uses video technology to supplement visibility around the vehicle; S KEY builds on existing smart key systems to expand convenience features; and AB LIGHT uses vehicle CAN data to address risks from pedal misapplication.
In particular, AP MOBILITY plans to leverage its experience developing vehicle-specific technologies for Hyundai and Kia vehicles — which are also widely distributed overseas — as a competitive advantage in its global expansion. The company aims to apply the overseas business experience gained through S KEY’s supply in Taiwan to its other product lines, including MAX PRO and AB LIGHT, supplying products tailored to the vehicle environments and market characteristics of each country.
Going forward, AP MOBILITY plans to expand its cooperation with overseas distribution partners, building on the S KEY supply experience it has accumulated in the Taiwanese market. The company will continue to increase the range of applicable vehicle models and supply countries for S KEY, centered on Hyundai and Kia vehicles, drawing on its domestic experience applying technology across different vehicle models to meet the needs of each overseas market.
At the same time, the company is positioning MAX PRO and AB LIGHT as key products for further overseas expansion. MAX PRO will target the market as a video-based vehicle safety and parking solution, while AB LIGHT will do so as a driver safety solution for preventing pedal misapplication, with both products’ applicable vehicle models and supply scope to be expanded in stages according to the vehicle environment of each country.
“Building on our product supply experience in the Taiwanese market, we plan to expand cooperation with overseas distribution partners and broaden the supply of our automotive electronics products to a range of countries,” an AP MOBILITY representative said. “Over the long term, our goal is to grow into a comprehensive mobility solutions company that supplies a wide range of automotive electronics solutions to the global market — including MAX PRO’s video technology, S KEY’s vehicle convenience technology, and AB LIGHT’s driver safety technology.”

Assets under management (AUM) at Singapore-based firms grew by 10% from the previous year to reach S$6.7 trillion in 2025, their highest ever level.1 With a global outlook, Singapore-based asset managers source more than three-fifths of AUM outside Singapore and 88% is invested globally.2
SEI’s launch in Singapore follows a period of strong business momentum, with demand accelerating across its technology, operations, and investment capabilities. SEI provides asset servicing for 48 of the world’s 100 largest asset managers3 and is one of the top five largest administrators of private assets globally.4 The Singapore office will strengthen the company’s ability to support global clients with Asian operations or regional growth ambitions while creating a platform to build new relationships in one of the world’s leading asset management hubs.
Connall McGuckian has been named Managing Director, Head of Singapore, responsible for driving growth in Asia-Pacific through SEI’s integrated financial technology, operations, and asset management capabilities. McGuckian joins SEI from State Street Singapore, where he spent close to 14 years, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer for the firm’s Alternatives Investment Solutions in Asia-Pacific. He joined State Street in 2012 following its acquisition of Goldman Sachs Administration Services. Prior to that, he spent nine years at Goldman Sachs, relocating to Singapore in 2011 to establish Goldman Sachs Administration Services in Asia.
Sanjay Sharma, CEO of SEI International and Global Head of SEI’s Private Banking business, commented:
“Singapore is a critical market for SEI’s growth in Asia-Pacific and an important milestone in the evolution of our international business. As part of our international growth strategy, we’re investing in markets where we believe we deliver the greatest value to clients.
“Singapore’s prominence as a global financial center, combined with the continued growth of the region’s asset management industry, makes it an ideal location to expand our presence. Clients are increasingly looking for scalable, connected solutions that help them operate more efficiently, navigate complexity, and pursue growth across markets and jurisdictions. Connall’s leadership and deep industry experience will be instrumental as we align SEI’s capabilities with the evolving needs of clients in Singapore and across the broader Asia-Pacific region.”
McGuckian added:
“As Asia-Pacific financial services firms look to expand across markets and asset classes, they need strategic partners that can help them navigate change, facilitate scale, simplify complexity, and position them for long-term growth. SEI brings the global infrastructure, operational expertise, technology capabilities, and professional services to enable clients to operate more efficiently. Establishing a presence in Singapore allows SEI to tap into exceptional local talent while supporting the continued growth and evolution of Asia’s asset management industry. I look forward to growing SEI’s client base and bringing the strength of its global platform to clients across the region.”
