Background

Mobileye Global Inc. (“Mobileye”, “the Company” or “we”) is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions, aimed to provide the capabilities required for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies. Mobileye combines the operations of its consolidated subsidiaries, which include the Mobileye Group, as defined below.

Mobileye operates as a subsidiary of Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Parent”), 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 in 2018.

Before the completion of the Mobileye IPO and the reorganization (both as defined below) in October 2022, the Company consisted of the “Mobileye Group”, which combined the operations of Cyclops Holdings LLC (“Cyclops”), Mobileye B.V. and its subsidiaries, GG Acquisition Ltd. and Moovit App Global Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Moovit”) and certain Intel employees mainly in research and development (the “Intel Aligned Groups”).

The Mobileye IPO

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

On October 28, 2022, the initial public offering of Mobileye (the “Mobileye IPO”) was completed and we issued 41,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock, at $21.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Concurrently with the closing of the Mobileye IPO, the Company issued an additional 4,761,905 shares of its Class A common stock to General Atlantic (ME), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, at $21.00 per share, pursuant to a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for gross proceeds of $100 million (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). Mobileye’s Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 26, 2022 under the ticker symbol “MBLY”. On November 1, 2022, we closed the sale of an additional 6,150,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

The Mobileye IPO generated proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.0 billion, including the proceeds from the underwriters exercise of their option and the Concurrent Private Placement, net of underwriting discounts and commissions in the amount of $41 million and offering costs in the amount of $18 million.

Prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO, we were a wholly-owned business of Intel Corporation. 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. Upon completion of the IPO, we completed the legal entity reorganization (“reorganization”) of the 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. The reorganization was accomplished through a series of transactions and agreements with Intel, including the legal purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities from Intel.

Secondary Offering

On June 7, 2023, the Company announced the pricing of a public secondary offering of 38,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock (which shares were received upon the conversion of 38,500,000 shares of Class B common stock into Class A common stock) by Intel at a public offering price of $42.00 per share, which closed on June 12, 2023 (the “Secondary Offering”). The Company did not receive any proceeds from this offering. The Company paid the costs associated with the registration of shares in connection with the Secondary Offering in the amount of $1 million, other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions. These costs were expensed as incurred within general and administrative expenses. Upon the completion of the Secondary Offering, Intel continues to directly or indirectly hold all of the Class B common stock of Mobileye, which as of December 30, 2023, represents approximately 88.3% of our outstanding common stock and 98.7% of the voting power of our common stock.

Operations in Israel

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a series of attacks on civilian and military targets in Southern and Central Israel, to which the Israel Defense Forces have responded. In addition, Hezbollah has attacked military and civilian targets in Northern Israel, to which Israel has responded. How long and how severe the current conflict in Gaza becomes is unknown at this time and any continued clash among Israel, Hamas or Hezbollah or other countries or militant groups in the region may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. To date our operations and financial results have not been negatively affected, although as of January 31, 2024 approximately 10.5% of our employees have been called to reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces. However, any hostilities involving Israel, regional geopolitical instability or the interruption or curtailment of trade or diplomatic relations between Israel and its trading partners as a result thereof could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
