adding information to a noun phrase
I have learnt there are many ways we can use to add information to a noun phrase, such as relative clauses, prepositional phrases, participial phrases.
However, sometimes when you throw them all together, it can cause ambiguity and hilarity.
for the example below, what would you suggest?
1. The financial problems about equity ratio faced by the company, which I will go into detail later, is being spread company-wide.
2. The financial problems about equity ratio, which I will go into detail later, faced by the company is being spread organization-wide.
3. The financial problems faced by the company about equity ratio, which I will go into detail later, is being spread organization-wide.
Or do you have any better ways to assemble the information?

I prefer No.1.
But you don't 'spread' a problem. A problem exists/is present/is experienced in a company or pervades the company.
