U.S. Class Action

On January 16, 2024, a putative class action captioned McAuliffe v. Mobileye Global Inc., et al., 1:24-CV-00310 (S.D.N.Y.), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Mobileye and certain of its current and former officers. Following consolidation of the action with a substantively identical case, Le v. Mobileye Global Inc., et al., 1:24-CV-01390 (S.D.N.Y.), and the appointment of a lead plaintiff, an amended complaint was filed on September 13, 2024. In response to the defendants’ motion to dismiss, filed on October 25, 2024, lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on November 22, 2024. The second amended complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with defendants’ alleged misstatements and omissions concerning the build-up of excess inventory by certain Tier 1 Mobileye customers, and seeks unspecified damages and other relief on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Mobileye securities between January 26, 2023 and August 8, 2024. The second amended complaint also includes claims asserted by an additional plaintiff under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Mobileye Class A common stock offered in Mobileye’s June 5, 2023 secondary offering. Mobileye and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 20, 2024. On January 24, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a brief in opposition to Mobileye’s and the other named defendants’ motion to dismiss. On February 21, 2025, Mobileye and the other named defendants jointly filed a brief in reply to the lead plaintiff’s opposition brief. On April 16, 2025, the Court granted the defendants’ motion and dismissed the second amended complaint in full without leave to amend, closing the case. On May 16, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On July 11, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a brief in support of their appeal. On August 15, 2025, Mobileye and the named defendants filed their opposition brief, and on September 5, 2025, the appellants filed their reply brief in further support of the appeal. Oral argument was held on December 4, 2025. On December 16, 2025, the Second Circuit issued a summary order affirming the Court’s dismissal of the second amended complaint in full. The time for the plaintiff to seek further review by filing a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court has expired, and no such petition was filed. No provision was recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2026.

U.S. Patent Litigation

On January 26, 2024, Facet Technology Corp. (“Facet”) sued Mobileye in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for patent infringement. The suit accuses Mobileye Global Inc., Mobileye Vision Technologies Ltd., and Mobileye Inc. of allegedly infringing two expired patents. Despite expiration of the patents, the suit seeks injunctive relief and a permanent injunction as well as unspecified damages, fees and costs. Mobileye Vision Technologies Ltd. and Mobileye Inc., sued Facet in the U.S. District Court of Minnesota seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement of both patents. Before either action was answered, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the US Patent and Trademark Office instituted two Inter Parte Review (IPR) proceedings on both patents, and both district court actions were stayed. The parties are challenging aspects of the PTAB’s determinations, and the district court actions remain stayed. We intend to defend these matters vigorously. No provision was recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2026.
