For FFAI and its stockholders, the transaction anchors the agreed value of the robotics business and releases it through a standalone public-company platform, while FFAI is expected to be the majority and controlling stockholder of FFR and continues to participate in the robotics business. Next, FFAI will work with FFR to advance the transaction closing in an orderly manner.

The closing is expected to be completed by the end of October.
