(Corrects headline and first paragraph to say funding would help ramp up production, not sales) May 9 (Reuters) - Electric vehicle (EV) startup Faraday Future Intelligent Electric said on Tuesday it was raising $100 million in debt to ramp up production and achieve a delivery milestone for its flagship FF 91 Futurist vehicle. The company signed agreements for financing commitments of $100 million in unsecured convertible notes to generate cash to increase production and development of its sales & service system for the vehicle. The Los Angeles-based company had pushed back deliveries of the FF 91 Futurist vehicle by two months and said it was down to about $30 million in cash and resumption of deliveries would depend on additional financing.


Faraday Future has been struggling with a cash crunch and a board reshuffle following a governance dispute with one of its largest shareholders, FF Top Holding. Last November, Faraday Future raised doubts about its ability to continue as a "going concern".
