NOTE 9  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into a series of related party arrangements with Intel. The arrangements were as follows:

1.Stock Compensation Recharge Agreement

The Company entered into a stock compensation recharge agreement with Intel, which requires the Company to reimburse Intel for certain amounts, net of any related withholding tax, relating to the value of share-based compensation provided to the Company’s employees for RSUs or stock options exercisable in Intel stock. The reimbursement amounts recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital (and to parent net investment prior to the Mobileye IPO) in the consolidated statement of changes in equity were $0 million, $100 million and $118 million for the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As for the inclusion of the Company’s employees in Intel’s equity incentive plan, see Note 6.

2.Hedging services

Intel centrally hedges its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. At the beginning of 2021, the Company entered into a hedging services agreement with Intel, pursuant to which the Company was entitled to a certain allocation of the gains and obligated to a certain allocation of the losses arising from the execution of the hedging contracts. In October 2022, we de-designated our outstanding hedge instruments and ceased participation in the hedging services agreement with Intel. As of October 25, 2022, the Company is no longer a party to this agreement. For further information, see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies related to Derivatives and hedging.

3.Lease agreements

Under lease agreements with Intel, the Company leases office space in Intel’s buildings. The costs are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily on a specific and direct attribution basis, as described in Note 2. The leasing costs for the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $3 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

4.Other services to a related party

The Company reimbursed its Chief Executive Officer for reasonable travel related expenses incurred while conducting business on behalf of the Company as well as paid for certain security related costs. For the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, travel related reimbursements and security related costs were $2.0 million, $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

5.Reorganization and the Mobileye IPO

In connection with the Mobileye IPO, which was completed in October 2022, we have consummated the following transactions and agreements.

Equity transaction in connection with the legal purchase of Moovit entities

On May 31, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Intel pursuant to which we legally purchased from Intel 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities for an aggregate amount of $900 million that was paid in December 2022 to Intel using cash that we concurrently received from Intel’s payment of such amount it owed us under the Bilateral Loan Arrangements. Moovit’s operations were already reflected as part of the Mobileye Group as further detailed in Note 1 and, therefore the transaction was treated within equity.

Dividend Note

On April 21, 2022, Intel and Mobileye Group signed a loan agreement whereby Mobileye Group issued a promissory note to Intel in an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion (the “Dividend Note”). The Dividend Note was scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrued interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum, such interest to accrue quarterly. Prior to June 30, 2024, such interest would be paid by being automatically added to the outstanding principal amount of the loan and would thereafter be payable quarterly in cash in arrears and shall also be payable upon any prepayment, whether in whole or in part, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and upon maturity. Under the Dividend Note, Mobileye Group had the right, at its option, on any business day, to prepay the loan, including principal and any accrued interest thereon, in whole or in part without premium or penalty. In November 2022, the Company used approximately $0.9 billion out of the net proceeds from the Mobileye IPO to repay a portion of the indebtedness under the Dividend Note and Intel has contributed to the Company the remaining portion of the Dividend Note (plus related accrued interest) in the amount of $2.6 billion such that no amounts under the Dividend Note remain owed by us to Intel as of December 31, 2022. Interest expense recognized by the Company totaled $24 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Contribution and Subscription Agreement

In connection with the Mobileye IPO, we entered into the Contribution and Subscription Agreement with Intel, pursuant to which Intel transferred to Mobileye Global Inc., collectively as a contribution on existing capital in exchange for 749,999,900 shares of our Class B common stock: (i) 100% of the equity interests of Cyclops Holdings Corporation, such that Cyclops Holdings Corporation became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Mobileye Global Inc.; and (ii) the Dividend Note with respect to any principal and accrued interest thereon in excess of the principal amount that we repaid out of the net proceeds that we received from the Mobileye IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement. After the completion of the Mobileye IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, no amounts under the Dividend Note remain owed by us to Intel. The actual amount of the Dividend Note which was repaid was based upon the amount of net proceeds from the Mobileye IPO that were available after we retained the required $1.0 billion of cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities that Intel agreed to ensure that we had immediately after completion of the IPO under the Master Transaction Agreement.

Intercompany Agreements

In connection with the Mobileye IPO, the Company entered into certain intercompany agreements (collectively, the “Intercompany Agreements”), including a Master Transaction Agreement, an Administrative Services Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, a Technology and Services Agreement, a LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement, and a Tax Sharing Agreement, in each case with Intel and certain of its subsidiaries, to outline a framework for the Company’s ongoing relationship with Intel, whereby, among other matters, Intel will continue to provide certain administrative and operational services, including the supply and license of certain technologies, whereby the Company will supply Intel with certain technologies, and whereby Intel’s and the Company’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to all tax matters will be governed (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax audits). The Intercompany Agreements became effective as of the completion of the Mobileye IPO. See below for further detail.

Administrative Services Agreement

Under the Administrative Services Agreement, Intel provides the Company with administrative and other services. The Company pays fees to Intel for the services rendered based on pricing per service agreed between the Company and Intel.

The initial term of the Administrative Services Agreement expires two years from the completion of the Mobileye IPO and extends automatically for successive three-month terms unless one of the parties elects not to renew. We have the right to terminate any of the services provided by Intel under the Administrative Services Agreement at any time upon thirty days prior written notice of termination to Intel, or if Intel fails to perform any of its material obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement and such failure continues for at least thirty days after receipt by Intel of written notice of such failure from Mobileye.

The costs incurred under this agreement for the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $3 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

Technology and Services Agreement

The Technology and Services Agreement provides a framework for the collaboration on technology projects and services between the Company and Intel (“Technology Projects”), and sets out the licenses granted by each party to its respective technology for the conduct of the Technology Projects, provisions relating to the ownership of certain existing technology, the allocation of rights in any new technology created in the course of the Technology Projects, and certain provisions applicable to the development of a certain radar product of the Company. The Technology and Services Agreement does not apply to projects for the development and manufacture of a lidar sensor system for automobiles, which the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement previously covered. Pursuant to the Technology and Services Agreement, the Company and Intel will agree to statements of work with additional terms for Technology Projects.

The Technology and Services Agreement has a term of two years, and automatically renews for one-year renewal periods, unless the agreement is terminated for a party’s material breach, a party’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or advance notice of non-renewal is given. The amount incurred under this agreement for the years ended December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $4 million, $5 million and $0.4, respectively.

LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement

The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement provided the terms that applied to the Company’s collaboration with Intel for the development and manufacture of a Lidar sensor system for ADAS and AV in automobiles (“LiDAR Project”). On some of the LiDAR programs, joint funding would have applied between Intel and Mobileye until the end of 2027 whereby Mobileye would have borne its own Lidar sensor system development costs up to the first $40 million per year and Intel would have borne up to $20 million per year of Mobileye’s Lidar sensor system development costs that were greater than $40 million per year.

The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement further provided that Intel would manufacture certain components for the Company to market and sell as part of a FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) Lidar sensor system solely for external environment sensing for ADAS and AV in automobiles.

The price for the components Intel would have manufactured for the Company would have been based on a cost-plus model. In addition, the agreement included a profit-sharing model under which Mobileye would pay Intel a share of the gross profit for each Lidar sensor system or components thereof, based on Intel technology, sold by Mobileye.

On September 9, 2024, Mobileye announced the cessation of further internal development of FMCW lidar and the wind down of the Lidar R&D Unit. In connection with Mobileye’s decision, Mobileye and Intel terminated the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement as of October 2, 2024.

There were no amounts received or receivable from Intel under this agreement for the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.

Tax Sharing Agreement

The Tax Sharing Agreement establishes the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Company and Intel after the completion of the Mobileye IPO with respect to tax matters, including the amount of cash the Company will pay to Intel for its share of the tax liability owed on the consolidated filings in which the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries are included, including audit or other tax proceedings. According to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company and Intel will calculate and agree to estimated amounts owed quarterly but final amounts will also be calculated and paid upon consolidated tax return filings. Amounts payable under the Tax Sharing Agreement will be recorded in the same manner as other contractual obligations entered into by the Company. On August 14, 2024, Mobileye and Intel entered into an Amended and Restated Tax Sharing Agreement, which incorporated certain clarifying amendments into the original Tax Sharing Agreement. As of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the related party payable to Intel, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, was $3 million and $37 million, respectively. The decrease was due to finalizing 2023 amounts upon filing of the US consolidated tax return with Intel.

6.Intel sublicense

In June 2024, Intel and its affiliates, including Mobileye, were granted a sublicense to certain patents relating to network-on-chip and other technologies (the “Sublicense”). In connection with Mobileye’s use of the Sublicense, Intel and Mobileye agreed that Mobileye would pay to Intel $0.3 million as Mobileye’s allocation of the consideration paid by Intel for the Sublicense.
