Background

Mobileye Group is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. Mobileye Group combines the operations of Cyclops Holdings LLC (“Cyclops”), Mobileye B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Mobileye”) GG Acquisition Ltd. and the Moovit App Global Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Moovit”) and certain Intel employees mainly in research and development (the “Intel Aligned Groups”) (collectively, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”, “we”, and “our”).

Mobileye operates as a component of Intel, which acquired a majority stake in Mobileye in August 2017 (the “Mobileye Acquisition”). The remaining issued and outstanding shares of Mobileye were acquired by Intel during 2018. The Company is building a robust portfolio of end-to-end ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to provide the capabilities required for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies.

Moovit, a leading urban mobility app and mobility-as-a-service (“MaaS”) solutions provider also operates as a component of Intel upon acquisition of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Moovit in May 2020 (the “Moovit Acquisition”). On May 31, 2022, we legally purchased from Intel 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities. For further detail see Note 6.

In December 2021, Intel announced plans to pursue an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Mobileye Group. In January 2022, Intel incorporated a new legal entity, Mobileye Global Inc., with the intent to contribute the Company to Mobileye Global Inc. and be able to offer newly issued shares of common stock of Mobileye Global Inc. in an IPO.

In October 2022, the initial public offering of Mobileye (the “Mobileye IPO”) was completed. The registration statement related to the Mobileye IPO was declared effective on October 25, 2022, and our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “MBLY” on October 26, 2022.

Prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO, we were a wholly-owned business of Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Parent”). Upon the closing of the Mobileye IPO (after giving effect to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option), Intel continues to directly or indirectly hold all of the Class B common stock of Mobileye, which represents approximately 99.3% of the voting power of our common stock. Upon completion of the IPO, we completed the legal entity reorganization of our operations comprising the Mobileye Group business so that they are all under the single parent entity, Mobileye Global Inc., and the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
