Hong Kong-listed Evergrande Health will pay HK$6.75 billion (US$860 million) to buy Season Smart Ltd, which owns 45 percent of Smart King Ltd, a joint venture in which Faraday Future is a major investor owning a 33 percent stake, a corporate statement said yesterday.

The deal will make Evergrade Health the largest shareholder of Faraday Future, which said yesterday that it 鈥渨elcomes Evergrande Health as a new strategic investor鈥 and confirmed that Jia, founder of Chinese tech group LeEco, will serve as its global CEO.

California-based Faraday Future said it was still on track to start deliveries this year. In August 2017, it signed a lease for a new assembly plant in California.
