OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR CASH
All Outstanding Ordinary Shares of
MOBILEYE N.V.
at
$63.54 per share
by
CYCLOPS HOLDINGS, LLC
a wholly owned subsidiary of
INTEL CORPORATION
THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY
TIME, ON JUNE 21, 2017, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED OR EARLIER TERMINATED.
Cyclops Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser")
and a wholly owned subsidiary
of Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Intel"), is offering to
purchase all of the outstanding ordinary
shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Mobileye N.V., a
public limited liability company
(naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands
registered with the trade register in The
Netherlands under file number 34158597 ("Mobileye"), at a purchase price of
$63.54 per Share, less any
applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof,
payable in cash (the "Offer
Consideration"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to
Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of
Transmittal" and, together with this Offer to
Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Offer").
The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of March
12, 2017 (as it may be
amended from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Intel,
Cyclops Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Intel ("Cyclops") and Mobileye.
On April 4, 2017, Cyclops
converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Conversion"). The
Conversion has not adversely impacted, and will not adversely impact, in any
respect Mobileye or any of its
shareholders, or Mobileye's rights under the Purchase Agreement, and has not
relieved, and will not relieve, Intel
or Cyclops of its respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. All
references to "Purchaser" in
describing Purchaser's rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement
refer to Cyclops prior to the
Conversion, and to Purchaser following the Conversion. Unless the Offer is
earlier terminated, the Offer will
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017 (the "Expiration
Time," unless the Offer is extended
in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in which event "Expiration Time"
will mean the latest time and date
EFTA01430519
at which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire).
Purchaser may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed
in writing by Mobileye and
Intel, and will extend the Offer for the minimum period required by
applicable law, the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or the rules of the NASDAQ Global
Select Market or the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Purchaser will also extend the Offer on one or more
occasions in consecutive periods
of 10 business days each if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any
condition to the Offer has not been
satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of such condition, or
20 business days in case of the Antitrust
Clearance Condition (as defined below) if such condition is not reasonably
likely to be satisfied within such 10
business day extension period. Purchaser will not be required to extend the
Offer for more than two occasions if
the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the Minimum
Condition (as defined below) and the Pre
EFTA01430520
Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has been obtained or Intel
determines in its reasonable judgment that
the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling will not be received, and Purchaser is not
required to extend the Offer beyond
the End Date (as defined below).
The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth
therein, Purchaser will (and Intel will cause Purchaser to), (a) at or as
promptly as practicable following the
Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter),
accept for payment (the time of
acceptance for payment, the "Acceptance Time") and (b) at or as promptly as
practicable following the
Acceptance Time (but in any event within three business days (calculated as
set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) thereafter), pay for
all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn
as of the Acceptance Time (such
time of payment, the "Offer Closing"). It is expected that following the
Offer Closing, the listing of the Shares on
the NYSE will be terminated, Mobileye will no longer be a publicly traded
company, and the Shares will be
deregistered under the Exchange Act, resulting in the cessation of
Mobileye's reporting obligations with respect
to the Shares with the SEC.
After careful consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Mobileye
(the "Mobileye Board") has
unanimously (other than the executive directors of Mobileye, Professor Amnon
Shashua and Mr. Ziv
Aviram, who abstained, due to potential conflicts of interest) (a)
determined that the Purchase Agreement
and certain of the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best
interests of Mobileye, its business and
its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, and (b)
approved and adopted the Purchase
Agreement and approved certain of the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Mobileye Board recommends that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer
and tender their
Shares in the Offer. Furthermore, the Mobileye Board recommends that you
vote "for" each of the items
that contemplates a vote of Mobileye shareholders at the extraordinary
general meeting of Mobileye
shareholders (the "EGM"), which will be combined with Mobileye's 2017 annual
general meeting of
shareholders, scheduled to be held on June 13, 2017, at 3:00 p.m. Central
European Time at the Waldorf
Astoria Amsterdam, Herengracht 542 — 556, 1017 CG Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. At the EGM,
Mobileye shareholders will be requested to vote on approval of (a) the
transfer to and assumption of all or
EFTA01430521
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Mobileye by Purchaser (or
an affiliate of Purchaser) (the
"Asset Sale") and the Liquidation (as defined below), including the
appointment of a liquidator of
Mobileye effective as of the time of the Liquidation (collectively, the "Pre-
Wired Asset Sale Resolutions"),
(b) certain amendments to Mobileye's articles of association to become
effective after the Offer Closing,
including the conversion of Mobileye from a public limited liability company
(naamloze vennootschap or
N.V.) to a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met
beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.)
under Dutch law (the "Conversion Resolutions"), (c) the appointment of
directors designated by Purchaser
to the Mobileye Board to replace certain current directors of Mobileye who
will resign from the Mobileye
Board effective as of the Offer Closing, and (d) other matters contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement.
Following the Acceptance Time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement,
Purchaser will provide for a
subsequent offering period of at least 10 business days in accordance with
Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act
(the "Subsequent Offering Period"). In the event that prior to the
expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period,
Purchaser or one of its affiliates has elected to (a) exercise its right to
purchase such number of newly issued
ordinary shares of Mobileye so as to increase Purchaser's ownership by 15%
of the total ownership of ordinary
shares of Mobileye after giving effect to such purchase (the "Call Option")
or (b) effectuate the Asset Sale,
Purchaser will extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five
business days (the "Minority Exit Offering
Period"). Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer
Consideration paid pursuant to the
Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by
the Minority Exit Offering Period), or any delay in making payment for
Shares.
As promptly as practicable following the closing of the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering Period), Intel or Purchaser may effectuate or
cause to be effectuated, at Intel's or
Purchaser's election, a corporate reorganization of Mobileye and its
subsidiaries (the "Post-Offer
EFTA01430522
Reorganization"). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes
available to Purchaser under Dutch law to
ensure that (a) Purchaser becomes the owner of all of Mobileye's business
operations from and after the
consummation of the Post-Offer Reorganization and (b) any Mobileye
shareholders who do not tender their
Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering
Period, as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) are offered or receive the same consideration
for their Shares as those
shareholders who tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including
during the Subsequent Offering Period,
as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), without
interest and less applicable withholding
taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the compulsory
acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure)
of non-tendered shares as provided by Dutch law (the "Compulsory
Acquisition") is implemented, then Shares
held by non-tendering Mobileye shareholders will be acquired in accordance
with Section 2:92a or
Section 2:201a of the Dutch Civil Code. In that circumstance, the Enterprise
Chamber (Ondernemingskamer)of
the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (GerechtshofAmsterdam) (the "Dutch Court")
will determine the price to be
paid for the non-tendered Shares. In such event, while Intel and Purchaser
will use their reasonable best efforts to
cause the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition for the non-
tendered Shares to be equal to the Offer
Consideration, the Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine the per
Share price for the non-tendered Shares.
Such price may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer
Consideration. Such price may potentially be
increased by statutory interest ("Dutch Statutory Interest") accrued at the
rate applicable in The Netherlands
(currently two percent per annum). The period for the calculation of the
Dutch Statutory Interest would begin
either (i) on the date on which the Offer Consideration became payable to
Mobileye shareholders who tendered
their Shares to Purchaser in the Offer (the "Offer Payment Date"), provided
that Purchaser has acquired at least
95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer
Payment Date or (ii) under certain
circumstances, including when Purchaser has not acquired at least 95% of
Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst
kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date, from the date when the Dutch Court
renders a judgment allowing the
claim for the Compulsory Acquisition against the non-tendering shareholders
for all of their Mobileye Shares.
The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest
would be the date Purchaser pays for the
Shares then owned by the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders. As a result of
EFTA01430523
the Post-Offer Reorganization,
Mobileye will either be liquidated or become wholly owned by Purchaser.
Purchaser and Intel may effectuate or cause to be effectuated, at
Purchaser's or Intel's election, the PostOffer
Reorganization by one or more of a variety of actions, potentially including
(a) subject to the receipt of the
Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) and the approval of the Pre-
Wired Asset Sale Resolutions by
Mobileye shareholders at the EGM, the Asset Sale and, as soon as practicable
following the consummation of the
Asset Sale, completing the Post-Offer Reorganization by the Liquidation (as
defined below) and the Second Step
Distribution (as defined below) or (b) if permissible under applicable law,
the Compulsory Acquisition.
Under the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye (which is a tax resident of Israel)
has agreed, as soon as
reasonably practicable after the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and in
consultation with Intel and
Purchaser, to prepare and file with the Israel Tax Authority (the "ITA") an
application for a ruling or rulings in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Intel and Purchaser that (a)
exempts Intel, Purchaser and Mobileye
from Israeli tax with respect to the Asset Sale, the Second Step
Distribution, and the Liquidation, taking into
account all relevant related steps (including the possible conversion of
Mobileye from a naamloze vennootschap
or N.V. to a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.
following the Asset Sale) and
(b) provides that the Asset Sale will not adversely affect the remaining
duration or the extent of the incentives
available to Mobileye and its subsidiaries resulting from the status of a
"Preferred Enterprise" and/or "Benefitted
Enterprise" under Israel's Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investment,
1959, or require any recapture of
any previously claimed incentive, and that the entitlement of Mobileye or
any of its subsidiaries to any such
incentive shall be preserved despite the Asset Sale (clauses (a) and (b)
together, the "Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Ruling").
If the ITA issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and Mobileye shareholders
have approved the Pre-Wired
Asset Sale Resolutions and the Conversion Resolutions, and if Purchaser and
Intel elect to proceed with the Asset
Sale followed by the Liquidation and the Second Step Distribution, and if
the number of Shares tendered
pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares validly
tendered during the Subsequent
Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period), together with the Shares then
EFTA01430524
owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least 67% of Mobileye's
issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) (or 80%,
if the Mobileye shareholders have not approved the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Resolutions and the Conversion
Resolutions), then the cash consideration paid by Purchaser to Mobileye in
the Asset Sale would be an aggregate
amount equal to the Offer Consideration multiplied by the total number of
Shares held by non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders as of the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period
and, upon consummation of the
Asset Sale, (a) Mobileye will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale;
(b) Purchaser (or an affiliate of
Purchaser) would (i) own all of Mobileye's business operations and (ii) be
the principal shareholder in Mobileye;
and (c) the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders would continue to own Shares
representing, in the aggregate, a
minority of the Shares then outstanding. As soon as practicable following
consummation of the Asset Sale,
Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) would then complete the Post-Offer
Reorganization by causing Mobileye
to be liquidated in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures (the
"Liquidation"), with Purchaser (or an
affiliate of Purchaser) providing an indemnity or guarantee to the
liquidator in respect of the Liquidation for any
deficit in the estate of Mobileye to enable the liquidator to make an
immediate advance distribution in cash (the
"Second Step Distribution") to a depositary on behalf of each non-tendering
Mobileye shareholder in an amount
equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable
withholding taxes, for each Share then
owned.
If the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly
withdrawn (including Shares validly
tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period),
together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents
less than 100% but at least 95% of
Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal), and Purchaser and Intel
elect to have Purchaser commence the
Compulsory Acquisition, Purchaser would then complete the Post-Offer
Reorganization by commencing a
statutory proceeding before the Dutch Court for the Compulsory Acquisition.
While Intel and Purchaser will use
their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share price paid in the
Compulsory Acquisition to be equal to the
Offer Consideration, the Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine the
per Share price, which may be greater
than, equal to, or less than the Offer Consideration (with such price
potentially being increased by Dutch
Statutory Interest). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court's
ruling in the Compulsory
EFTA01430525
Acquisition, each non-tendering Mobileye shareholder will receive the Dutch
Court-determined per Share price
and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Mobileye.
The applicable withholding taxes (including Israeli dividend withholding
taxes) and other taxes, if
any, imposed on Mobileye shareholders who do not tender their Shares
pursuant to the Offer (including
during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority
Exit Offering Period) may
be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Mobileye
shareholders had they
tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent
Offering Period, as it may
be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period).
The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the absence of the
termination of the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the satisfaction or waiver
(to the extent permitted by the
Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled
Expiration Time: (i) the Minimum

Adverse Effect Condition, each as defined below.

properly withdrawn a number of Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to

guarantee prior to the Expiration Time) that,
together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents
at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, provided that
this threshold (a) may be lowered by
Intel, in its sole discretion, to a percentage not less than 80%, (b) will
be lowered to 80% if the ITA issues the
Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling, and (c) will be lowered to 67% if (1) the ITA
issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Ruling and (2) the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions and Conversion
Resolutions are adopted at the EGM.
The "Antitrust Clearance Condition" requires (a) the expiration or
termination of any applicable waiting

(c) the receipt of, or expiration of relevant waiting periods under, all

regulation, order, or injunction
entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced, or issued by any court or other
governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction prohibiting, rendering illegal, frustrating, or enjoining the

foregoing shall also not apply with
respect to any form of Post-Offer Reorganization (other than the Compulsory
Acquisition, or Mobileye's
potential election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3
to be classified as a partnership or as
a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes) to the extent that the
number of Shares tendered pursuant to
the Offer and not properly withdrawn (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to
guaranteed delivery procedures that
have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee
prior to the Expiration Time), together
with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least
95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time.
The "Governance Resolutions Condition" requires that, at the EGM or a
subsequent EGM, Mobileye
shareholders have adopted one or more resolutions effective upon the Offer

Mobileye Board), to replace those
members of the Mobileye Board who will resign from the Mobileye Board
effective as of the Offer Closing.
The "Material Adverse Effect Condition" requires that no fact, change,

Securities Sought
Price Offered Per Share
All outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share, of Mobileye
(the "Shares").
$63.54 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest,
to the holders thereof and payable in cash (the "Offer Consideration").
Scheduled Expiration of Offer 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21,
2017, unless the Offer is extended
or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Time"). See Section 1 — "Terms of the
Offer."
Purchaser
Cyclops Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser"),
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Intel").
Who is offering to buy my Shares?
Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, is offering to purchase for
cash all outstanding
Shares. Purchaser is a Delaware limited liability company and Intel is a
Delaware corporation.
See the "Introduction" and Section 8 — "Certain Information Concerning Intel
and Purchaser."
Unless the context indicates otherwise, in this Offer to Purchase, we use
the terms "Purchaser," "us," "we,"
and "our" to refer to Cyclops Holdings, LLC. We use the term "Intel" to
EFTA01430532
refer to Intel Corporation and the term
"Mobileye" to refer to Mobileye N.V.
What are the classes and amounts of securities sought in the Offer?
We are offering to purchase all outstanding Shares at a purchase price of
$63.54 per Share, less any
applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof,
in cash, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the Letter of
Transmittal.
See the "Introduction" to this Offer to Purchase and Section 1 — "Terms of
the Offer."
EFTA01430533
Is there an agreement governing the Offer?
Yes. Intel, Cyclops Holdings, Inc. ("Cyclops"), and Mobileye entered into a
Purchase Agreement, dated as
of March 12, 2017 (the "Purchase Agreement"). On April 4, 2017, Cyclops
converted from a Delaware
corporation to a Delaware limited liability company (the "Conversion"). The
Conversion has not adversely
impacted, and will not adversely impact, in any respect Mobileye or any of
its shareholders, or Mobileye's rights
under the Purchase Agreement, and has not relieved, and will not relieve,
Intel or Cyclops of its respective
obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides,
among other things, for the terms
and conditions of the Offer, and the corporate reorganization of Mobileye
and its subsidiaries (the "Post-Offer
Reorganization").
See Section 11 — "The Purchase Agreement; Other Agreements," Section 12 —
"Purpose of the Offer;
Plans for Mobileye," and Section 15 — "Certain Conditions of the Offer."
Why are you making the Offer?
We are making the Offer because we want to acquire the entire equity
interest in Mobileye so that we will
own and control all of Mobileye's current business. If the Offer is
consummated, we intend to cause Mobileye to
terminate the listing of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
As a result, Mobileye and its
Shares would cease to be publicly traded. In addition, after the
consummation of the Offer we intend to cause the
termination of the registration of Shares under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), as promptly as practicable, and expect to take steps to cause the
suspension of all of Mobileye's reporting
obligations with the SEC.
See Section 12 — "Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye" of this Offer to
Purchase.
How much are you offering to pay and what is the form of payment? Will I
have to pay any fees or
commissions?
We are offering to pay $63.54 per Share, less any applicable withholding
taxes and without interest, to the
holders thereof, payable in cash, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. If you are the record owner of your Shares and you tender your
Shares directly to American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the "Depositary"), you will not have to pay
brokerage fees, commissions, or
similar expenses. If you own your Shares through a broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company, or other
nominee and your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other
nominee tenders your Shares on your
behalf, your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or nominee may
EFTA01430534
charge you a fee for doing so. You
should consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or
nominee to determine whether any
charges will apply.
See the "Introduction," Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer," and Section 2
"Acceptance for Payment and
Payment for Shares."
What does the Board of Directors of Mobileye think of the Offer?
After careful consideration, the Board of Directors of Mobileye (the
"Mobileye Board") has unanimously
(other than the executive directors, Professor Amnon Shashua and Mr. Ziv
Aviram, who abstained, due to
potential conflicts of interest) (a) determined that the Purchase Agreement
and certain of the transactions
contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Mobileye, its business and
strategy and its shareholders,
employees and other relevant stakeholders, and (b) approved the Purchase
Agreement and the execution,
delivery, and performance of Mobileye's obligations thereunder.
EFTA01430535
The Mobileye Board recommends that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer
and tender their
Shares in the Offer. Furthermore, the Mobileye Board recommends that you
vote "for" each of the items
that contemplates a vote of Mobileye shareholders at the extraordinary
general meeting of Mobileye
shareholders (the "EGM"), which will be combined with Mobileye's 2017 annual
general meeting of
shareholders, scheduled to be held on June 13, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. Central
European Time at the Waldorf
Astoria Amsterdam, Herengracht 542 — 556, 1017 CG Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. At the EGM,
Mobileye shareholders will be requested to vote on approval of (a) the
transfer to and assumption of all or
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Mobileye by Purchaser (or
an affiliate of Purchaser) (the
"Asset Sale") and the Liquidation (as defined below), including the
appointment of a liquidator of
Mobileye effective as of the time of the Liquidation (the "Pre-Wired Asset
Sale Resolutions"), (b) certain
amendments to Mobileye's articles of association to become effective after
the Offer Closing, including the
conversion of Mobileye from a public limited liability company (naamloze
vennootschap or N.V.)toa
private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte
aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under
Dutch law (the "Conversion Resolutions"), (c) the appointment of directors
designated by us to the
Mobileye Board to replace certain current directors of Mobileye who will
resign from the Mobileye Board
effective as of the Offer Closing, and (d) other matters contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement.
A more complete description of the reasons that the Mobileye Board approved
the Offer and recommended
that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant
to the Offer is set forth in the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 of Mobileye that
Mobileye is furnishing to
shareholders in connection with the Offer (the "Schedule 14D-9").
Will you have the financial resources to make payment?
Yes. We estimate that the total amount of funds required to purchase all
outstanding Shares in the Offer and
to consummate the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
and to pay related transaction
fees and expenses, will be approximately $15 billion. We anticipate funding
such cash requirements from
available cash and cash equivalents of Intel and its subsidiaries. The
consummation of the Offer and the other
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is not subject to any
financing condition.
See Section 9 — "Source and Amount of Funds."
EFTA01430536
Is your financial condition relevant to my decision to tender my Shares
pursuant to the Offer?
No. We do not think our financial condition is relevant to your decision on
whether to tender Shares and
accept the Offer because:
• The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares solely for cash.
• We will have access to unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of our
affiliates, further described in
Section 9 — "Source and Amount of Funds," which we anticipate being
sufficient to purchase all
Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and to complete the Post-Offer
Reorganization.
• The Offer is not subject to any financing condition.
• If we consummate the Offer and not all outstanding Shares are tendered
pursuant to the Offer or during
the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period (each as
defined below), while we or Intel may elect to effectuate or cause to be
effectuated the Post-Offer
Reorganization by various mechanisms, we have no plans to offer any of our
securities to effectuate the
Post-Offer Reorganization. The steps we may take to effectuate the Post-
Offer Reorganization include
(but are not limited to) (a) acquiring all or substantially all assets and
liabilities of Mobileye in the
Asset Sale and, immediately following the consummation of the Asset Sale,
dissolving and liquidating
EFTA01430537
Mobileye in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, such that a
depositary on behalf of nontendering
Mobileye shareholders will, immediately following the consummation of the
Asset Sale,
receive the Offer Consideration (without interest and less applicable
withholding taxes) (the "Second
Step Distribution") or (b) commencing a statutory proceeding before the
Enterprise Chamber
(Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (GerechtshofAmsterdam)
(the "Dutch
Court") for the compulsory acquisition (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered
shares as provided by
Dutch law (the "Compulsory Acquisition"). If the Compulsory Acquisition is
implemented, then the
Dutch Court will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares.
Although Intel and
Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share
price paid in the Compulsory
Acquisition for the non-tendered Shares to be equal to the Offer
Consideration, such price may be
greater than, equal to, or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price may
potentially be increased by
statutory interest ("Dutch Statutory Interest") accrued at the rate
applicable in The Netherlands
(currently two percent per annum). The period for the calculation of the
Dutch Statutory Interest would
begin either (i) on the date on which the Offer Consideration became payable
to Mobileye shareholders
who tendered their Shares to Purchaser in the Offer (the "Offer Payment
Date"), provided that
Purchaser has acquired at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst
kapitaal) as of the Offer
Payment Date or (ii) under certain circumstances, including when Purchaser
has not acquired at least
95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer
Payment Date, from the date
when the Dutch Court renders a judgment allowing the claim for the
Compulsory Acquisition against
the non-tendering shareholders for all of their Mobileye Shares. The end of
the period for the
calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be the date we pay for the
Shares then owned by the
non-tendering Mobileye shareholders.
See Section 12 — "Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye."
How long do I have to decide whether to tender my Shares pursuant to the
Offer?
You will have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017, unless
we extend the Offer in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement or the Offer is earlier terminated.
Furthermore, if you cannot deliver
everything that is required in order to make a valid tender in accordance
EFTA01430538
with the terms of the Offer by that time,
you may still participate in the Offer by using the guaranteed delivery
procedure that is described in Section 3 —
"Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares" of this Offer to
Purchase prior to that time.
The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth
therein, we will (and Intel will cause us to), (a) at or as promptly as
practicable following the Expiration Time
(but in any event within two business days thereafter), accept for payment
(the time of acceptance for payment,
the "Acceptance Time") and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following
the Acceptance Time (but in any event
within three business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3)
promulgated under the Exchange Act)
thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and
not properly withdrawn as of the
Acceptance Time (such time of payment, the "Offer Closing"). See Section 1 —
"Terms of the Offer" and
Section 3 —"Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares."
Please give your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other
nominee instructions with
sufficient time to permit such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust
company, or other nominee to tender your
Shares in accordance with your instructions. Beneficial owners should be
aware that their broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee may establish its own
earlier deadline for participation in the
Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Offer
should contact their broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee as soon as possible in
order to determine the times by which
such owner must take action in order to participate in the Offer.
iv
EFTA01430539
Can the Offer be extended and under what circumstances?
Yes, subject to Intel's rights to terminate the Purchase Agreement in
accordance with its terms, we may
extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed in writing by
Mobileye and Intel, and we have
agreed in the Purchase Agreement that we will extend the Offer:
• for the minimum period required by applicable law, the SEC or the rules of
the NASDAQ Global
Select Market ("NASDAQ") or the NYSE; and
• on one or more occasions in consecutive periods of 10 business days each,
with such period to end at
5:00 p.m., New York City time on the last business day of such period (or
such other duration as we,
Intel and Mobileye may agree) if, at any then-scheduled Expiration Time, any
condition to the Offer
has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of such
condition; except that:
• if we determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal
counsel, that at any thenscheduled
Expiration Time the Antitrust Clearance Condition (as defined below) is not
reasonably
likely to be satisfied within such 10 business day extension period, then we
will be permitted to
extend the Offer on such occasion for up to 20 business days;
• if the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the Minimum
Condition (as defined
below) and the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has been
obtained or Intel
determines in its reasonable judgment that the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling
will not be received,
we will not be required to extend the Offer for more than two occasions in
consecutive periods of
10 business days each (or such other duration as we, Intel and Mobileye may
agree); and
• we are not required to extend the Offer beyond March 12, 2018 (subject to
automatic extension to
June 10, 2018 and September 8, 2018, respectively, if, at each earlier such
date, all conditions to
the closing have been satisfied, other than the Antitrust Clearance
Condition) (such date, including
any automatic extension thereof, the "End Date").
If we extend the Offer, such extension will extend the time that you will
have to tender (or withdraw) your
Shares.
See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer."
How will I be notified if the Offer is extended?
Any extension of the Offer will be followed by a public announcement of the
extension no later than
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the day on
which the Offer was otherwise
scheduled to expire. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to
EFTA01430540
make any public announcement, we
currently intend to make announcements regarding the Offer by issuing a
press release and making an
appropriate filing with the SEC.
See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer."
Will there be a subsequent offering period?
Yes, following the Acceptance Time, we are obligated by the Purchase
Agreement to provide for a
subsequent offering period of at least 10 business days in accordance with
Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act
and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (the "Subsequent Offering
Period"). In the event that prior to the
expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, we or one of our affiliates
elects to (a) exercise our right to
purchase such number of newly issued ordinary shares of Mobileye so as to
increase our ownership by 15% of
the total ownership of ordinary shares of Mobileye after giving effect to
such purchase (the "Call Option") or
EFTA01430541
(b) effectuate the Asset Sale, we will extend the Subsequent Offering Period
for at least five business days (the
"Minority Exit Offering Period"). The purpose of the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) is to offer to acquire outstanding Shares
that were not tendered pursuant to the Offer.
See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer."
What is the difference between an extension of the Offer and a Subsequent
Offering Period?
A Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) is not an
extension of the Offer. A Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering
Period) occurs after we have accepted, and become obligated to pay for, all
Shares that were validly tendered
pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn by the Expiration Time. No
withdrawal rights will apply to
Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering
Period) and no withdrawal rights apply during the Subsequent Offering Period
(as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer
and accepted for payment.
See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer."
What are the most significant conditions to the Offer?
The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the absence of the
termination of the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the satisfaction or waiver
(to the extent permitted by the
Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled
Expiration Time: (i) the Minimum
Condition (as its threshold may be lowered pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement); (ii) the Antitrust Clearance
Condition; (iii) the Restraints Condition; (iv) the Governance Resolutions
Condition; and (v) the Material
Adverse Effect Condition, each as defined below.
The Offer also is subject to a number of other conditions to the Offer set
forth in Section 15 — "Certain
Conditions of the Offer" of this Offer to Purchase. The conditions to the
Offer will be in addition to, and not a
limitation of, the rights of us to extend, terminate or modify the Offer in
accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Subject to the applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC, we expressly
reserve the right at any time prior to the Expiration Time to waive, in
whole or in part, any condition to the Offer
and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer. However,
we will not, and Intel will cause us
not to (without the prior written consent of Mobileye): (a) waive or change
the Minimum Condition (except to
the extent contemplated under the Purchase Agreement); (b) decrease the
EFTA01430542
Offer Consideration; (c) change the
form of consideration to be paid in the Offer; (d) decrease the number of
Shares sought in the Offer; (e) extend or
otherwise change the Expiration Time (except as provided in the Purchase
Agreement); or (f) impose additional
conditions to the Offer or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the
conditions to the Offer or terms of
the Offer in a manner adverse to Mobileye shareholders.
See Section 15 — "Certain Conditions of the Offer."
What is the Minimum Condition?
Subject to certain exceptions, the "Minimum Condition" generally means that
there have been validly
tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn a number of Shares
(excluding Shares tendered
pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered
in settlement or satisfaction of such
guarantee prior to the Expiration Time) that, together with the Shares then
owned by Intel or its affiliates,
represents at least 95% (the "Threshold Percentage") of Mobileye's issued
capital (geplaatst kapitaal)
immediately prior to the Expiration Time.
See Section 15 — "Certain Conditions of the Offer."
vi
EFTA01430543
What is the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling, and how is it related to the
Minimum Condition?
Under the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye (which is a tax resident of Israel)
has agreed, as soon as
reasonably practicable after the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and in
consultation with Intel and
Purchaser, to prepare and file with the Israel Tax Authority (the "ITA") an
application for a ruling or rulings in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Intel and Purchaser that (a)
exempts Intel, Purchaser and Mobileye
from taxes in Israel with respect to the Asset Sale, the Second Step
Distribution, and the Liquidation, taking into
account all relevant related steps and (b) provides that the Asset Sale will
not adversely affect the remaining
duration or the extent of the incentives available to Mobileye and its
subsidiaries resulting from the status of a
Preferred Enterprise and/or Benefitted Enterprise under Israel's Law for the
Encouragement of Capital
Investment, 1959, or require any recapture of any previously claimed
incentive, and the entitlement of Mobileye
or any of its subsidiaries to any such incentive shall be preserved despite
the Asset Sale (clauses (a) and (b)
together, the "Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling").
If the ITA issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling, then the 95% referred to
in the definition of Threshold
Percentage shall be lowered to 80% (or 67%, if the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Resolutions and the Conversion
Resolutions have also been adopted at the EGM).
See Section 15 — "Certain Conditions of the Offer."
What are the Antitrust Clearance Condition, the Restraints Condition, the
Governance Resolutions
Condition and the Material Adverse Effect Condition?
The "Antitrust Clearance Condition" requires (a) the expiration or
termination of any applicable waiting
period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the Offer and the other
transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended (the "HSR Act"), (b)
the receipt of all required consents or approvals under the Israel
Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 5748-1988, as
amended, and (c) the receipt of, or expiration of relevant waiting periods
under, all required clearances or
approvals under other applicable regulatory or antitrust laws as agreed to
by Purchaser, Intel, and Mobileye under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The "Restraints Condition" requires that there is not in effect any law,
regulation, order, or injunction
entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced or issued by any court or other
governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction prohibiting, rendering illegal, frustrating, or enjoining the
consummation of the transactions
EFTA01430544
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, other than the Call Option. The
foregoing shall also not apply with
respect to any form of Post-Offer Reorganization (other than the Compulsory
Acquisition, or Mobileye's
potential election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3
to be classified as a partnership or as
a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes) to the extent that the
number of Shares tendered pursuant to
the Offer and not properly withdrawn (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to
guaranteed delivery procedures that
have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee
prior to the Expiration Time), together
with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least
95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time.
The "Governance Resolutions Condition" requires that, at the EGM or a
subsequent EGM, Mobileye
shareholders have adopted one or more resolutions effective upon the Offer
Closing to appoint Purchaserdesignated
directors, including two non-executive directors who are independent from
Intel and Purchaser (if
such independent non-executive directors are not already members of the
Mobileye Board), to replace the
members of the Mobileye Board who will resign from the Mobileye Board
effective as of the Offer Closing.
vii
EFTA01430545
The "Material Adverse Effect Condition" requires that no fact, change,
event, development, occurrence or
effect has occurred following the date of the Purchase Agreement that,
individually or in the aggregate, would
have or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement).
See Section 15 —"Certain Conditions of the Offer."
Have any Mobileye shareholders already agreed to tender their Shares in the
Offer?
Yes. In order to induce Intel and Purchaser to enter into the Purchase
Agreement, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, Professor Amnon Shashua,
Mobileye's Co-Founder, Chief
Technology Officer and Chairman, and Ziv Aviram, Mobileye's Co-Founder,
Chief Executive Officer and
President, (together, the "Founders"), entered into separate tender and
support agreements with Intel and
Purchaser (collectively, the "Tender and Support Agreements"). Shares owned
by the Founders comprise, in the
aggregate, approximately 7% of the outstanding Shares. Subject to the terms
and conditions of the Tender and
Support Agreements, the Founders have agreed, among other things, to tender
their Shares in the Offer and to
vote in favor of all matters to be approved by Mobileye shareholders at the
EGM.
See Section 11 —"The Purchase Agreement; Other Agreements."
How do I tender my Shares?
In order for Shares to be validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, you must
follow these instructions:
• If you are a record holder and you hold Shares in book-entry form on the
books of Mobileye's transfer
agent, the following must be received by the Depositary at one of its
addresses set forth in the Letter of
Transmittal before the Offer expires: (a) the Letter of Transmittal,
properly completed and duly
executed, and (b) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
• If your Shares are held in "street" name and are being tendered by book-
entry transfer, the following
must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth in the
Letter of Transmittal before
the Offer expires: (a) a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined under Section 2
—"Acceptance for
Payment and Payment for Shares"); (b) the Letter of Transmittal, properly
completed and duly
executed, or an Agent's Message (as defined under Section 3 —"Procedures for
Accepting the Offer
and Tendering Shares"); and (c) any other documents required by the Letter
of Transmittal.
• If you cannot complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer
on a timely basis, or you
EFTA01430546
otherwise cannot deliver all required documents to the Depositary before the
Offer expires, you may be
able to tender your Shares using the enclosed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
For the tender to be valid,
however, the Depositary must receive the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery prior
to the Expiration Time
and must then receive the missing items within three NYSE trading days after
the date of execution of
such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Please contact D.F. King & Co., Inc.,
the information agent for
the Offer (the "Information Agent") for assistance.
• If you hold Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust
company or other nominee, you
must contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee and give
instructions that your Shares be tendered.
See Section 3 —"Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares."
viii
EFTA01430547
Until what time may I withdraw previously tendered Shares?
You may properly withdraw your previously tendered Shares at any time until
the Expiration Time. In
addition, pursuant to Section 14(d)(5) of the Exchange Act, Shares may be
withdrawn at any time after June 4,
2017, which is the 60th day after the date of the commencement of the Offer,
unless prior to that date we have
accepted for payment the Shares validly tendered in the Offer. No withdrawal
rights will apply to Shares
tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) and
no withdrawal rights apply during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may
be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer and accepted
for payment; any Shares tendered
during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority
Exit Offering Period) will
immediately be accepted and promptly paid for.
See Section 4 —"Withdrawal Rights."
How do I withdraw previously tendered Shares?
To properly withdraw previously tendered Shares, you must deliver a written
notice of withdrawal with the
required information (as specified in this Offer to Purchase and in the
related Letter of Transmittal) to the
Depositary at any time at which you have the right to withdraw Shares. If
you tendered Shares by giving
instructions to a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other
nominee, you must instruct such
broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to arrange
for the withdrawal of your Shares
and such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee
must effectively withdraw such
Shares at any time at which you have the right to withdraw your Shares. No
withdrawal rights will apply to
Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering
Period) and no withdrawal rights apply during the Subsequent Offering Period
(as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer
and accepted for payment; any Shares
tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period)
will immediately be accepted and promptly paid for.
See Section 4 —"Withdrawal Rights."
If I decide not to tender, how will the Offer affect my Shares and what will
happen to Mobileye?
After the Offer Closing, we intend to cause Mobileye to terminate the
listing of the Shares on NYSE (the
"Delisting"). As a result, we anticipate that there will not be an active
trading market for the Shares. In addition,
after the Offer Closing, we intend to cause Mobileye to terminate the
EFTA01430548
registration of Shares under the Exchange
Act as promptly as practicable and take steps to cause the suspension of its
reporting obligations with respect to
the Shares with the SEC. As a result, with respect to the Shares, Mobileye
would no longer be required to make
filings with the SEC or otherwise comply with the rules of the SEC relating
to foreign private issuers.
Furthermore, the ability of "affiliates" of Mobileye and persons holding
"restricted securities" of Mobileye to
dispose of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act"), may be impaired or eliminated.
In addition, you should be aware that, after amendment of Mobileye's
articles of association, following the
Offer Closing, pursuant to the Conversion Resolutions proposed to be
approved at the EGM, record ownership of
Mobileye shares can only be transferred pursuant to a notarial deed executed
before a Dutch notary. This will
require compliance by the transferor and transferee of Shares with various
administrative formalities under Dutch
law and will also require shareholders to incur costs for Dutch notarial
fees when they transfer Mobileye shares.
If such amendment to Mobileye's articles of association becomes effective
prior to or during the Subsequent
Offering Period or the Minority Exit Offering Period, then all transfers of
record ownership of Shares to the
Purchaser during the Subsequent Offering Period, and (if applicable) the
Minority Exit Offering Period, must be
ix
EFTA01430549
effected by way of a notarial deed executed before a Dutch notary. This will
cause transfers of record ownership
of Shares to the Purchaser during such extensions of the Offer to be
substantially more expensive, cumbersome
and time-consuming than transfers of Shares to the Purchaser prior to the
Expiration Date. Furthermore, you
should be aware that after the second amendment of Mobileye's articles of
association pursuant to the
Conversion Resolutions following the Delisting ("Amendment No. 2"), any
share acquired by a Mobileye
shareholder after the date of Amendment No. 2 would not be transferable
prior to March 1, 2019, unless the
Mobileye Board has approved such transfer.
If the Post-Offer Reorganization is consummated, it is anticipated that
Mobileye shareholders who do not
tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent
Offering Period, as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will be offered or will receive the
same consideration for their Shares as
those Mobileye shareholders who tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer
(including during the Subsequent
Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period), without interest and less applicable
withholding taxes. However, in the Compulsory Acquisition, the Dutch Court
will determine the price to be paid
for the non-tendered Shares. Although Intel and Purchaser will use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the per
Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition for the non-tendered Shares
to be equal to the Offer
Consideration, such price may be greater than, equal to, or less than the
Offer Consideration. Such price may
potentially be increased by the Dutch Statutory Interest. As a result of the
Post-Offer Reorganization, Mobileye
will either be liquidated or become wholly owned by us.
The applicable withholding taxes (including Israeli dividend withholding
taxes) or other taxes, if any,
imposed on Mobileye shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to
the Offer (including during the
Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) may be different from,
and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Mobileye shareholders had they
tendered their Shares pursuant to
the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period).
In addition, if the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization are completed,
another difference between
tendering your Shares and not tendering your Shares pursuant to the Offer is
that you may be paid earlier if you
tender your Shares pursuant to the Offer.
See the "Introduction" to this Offer to Purchase, Section 11 —"The Purchase
EFTA01430550
Agreement; Other
Agreements," Section 12 —"Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye" and
Section 13 —"Certain Effects of the
Offer."
What is the market value of my Shares as of a recent date?
The Offer Consideration of $63.54 per Share represents a premium of
approximately 34.42% over the
reported closing price of $47.27 per Share on the NYSE on March 10, 2017,
the last full trading day prior to the
public announcement of the signing of the Purchase Agreement. On April 4,
2017, the last full trading day before
the commencement of the Offer, the reported closing price of the Shares on
the NYSE was $61.40 per Share.
We advise you to obtain a recent quotation for Shares in deciding whether to
tender your Shares in the
Offer. See Section 6 —"Price Range of Shares; Dividends."
Will I have appraisal rights in connection with the Offer?
Mobileye shareholders are not entitled under Dutch law or otherwise to
appraisal rights with respect to the
Offer. However, in the event that after the Subsequent Offering Period,
Intel or its affiliates hold less than 100%
but at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal), we or
Intel may elect to commence, or cause to
be commenced, the Compulsory Acquisition proceeding pursuant to which we
will acquire all Shares held by
EFTA01430551
non-tendering Mobileye shareholders in accordance with Section 2:92a or
Section 2:201a of the Dutch Civil
Code (the "DCC"). In the Compulsory Acquisition proceeding, while we will
request that the per Share price
paid in the Compulsory Acquisition be equal to the Offer Consideration, the
Dutch Court has sole discretion to
determine the per Share price, which may be greater than, equal to or less
than the Offer Consideration, with such
price potentially being increased by Dutch Statutory Interest. The non-
tendering Mobileye shareholders do not
have the right to commence a Compulsory Acquisition proceeding to oblige us
to buy their Shares.
See Section 17 —"Appraisal Rights."
What will happen to my equity awards in the Offer?
At the Offer Closing, each restricted share unit issued by Mobileye pursuant
to a Mobileye equity
compensation plan (each, a "Mobileye RSU") that is outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Offer Closing
and either (a) held by a person other than an employee who continues his or
her employment with Mobileye or
any of its subsidiaries at the Offer Closing (a "Continuing Employee"),
whether vested or unvested, (b) vested in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Mobileye equity compensation
plan and award agreement evidencing
such Mobileye RSU as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing and for which
Shares have not yet been issued,
(c) that, in the absence of the Offer and the other transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, would
become vested within two years following the Offer Closing and are held by a
Continuing Employee whose
employment or service with Mobileye commenced prior to the date of the
Purchase Agreement or (d) is subject
to accelerated vesting solely as a result of the completion of the Offer and
the other transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (each, a
"Terminating RSU"), will, without any
action on the part of Intel, Purchaser, Mobileye, the holder thereof or any
other person, be accelerated and
converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without
interest, equal to the product
obtained by multiplying (x) the Offer Consideration by (y) the total number
of Shares subject to such Mobileye
RSU. Any such payment with respect to a Terminating RSU shall be subject to
all applicable federal, state and
local tax withholding requirements, and, with respect to Israeli employees,
in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Israel Equity Tax Ruling (as defined below), if obtained.
At the Offer Closing, each Mobileye RSU that is outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Offer Closing
and that is not a Terminating RSU will, without any action on the part of
Intel, Purchaser, Mobileye, the holder
EFTA01430552
thereof or any other person, be converted into an equity award subject to
the same terms and conditions
applicable to such Mobileye RSU (including the same vesting schedule and
terms regarding acceleration and
forfeiture upon termination of employment or service) immediately prior to
the Offer Closing with respect to a
number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
of Intel equal to (a) the number of
Shares subject to such Mobileye RSU immediately prior to the Offer Closing
multiplied by (b) the quotient
obtained by dividing (x) the Offer Consideration by (y) the average closing
price of the common stock of Intel on
the NASDAQ for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day
immediately preceding the date of
the Offer Closing (such quotient, the "Equity Award Adjustment Ratio"). The
terms and conditions applicable to
certain of these Mobileye RSUs will be modified as agreed to by the parties
on the date of the Purchase
Agreement.
At the Offer Closing, each option to acquire Shares granted by Mobileye
pursuant to a Mobileye equity
compensation plan (each, a "Mobileye Option") that is outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Offer Closing
and either (a) held by a person other than a Continuing Employee, whether
vested or unvested, (b) held by a
person identified by the parties on the date of the Purchase Agreement,
whether vested or unvested, (c) vested in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Mobileye equity compensation
plan and award agreement evidencing
such Mobileye Option as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing, (d) that,
in the absence of the Offer and the
other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, would become
vested within two years following
the Offer Closing and are held by a Continuing Employee whose employment or
service with Mobileye
commenced prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement, or (e) is subject to
accelerated vesting solely as a result
xi
EFTA01430553
of the completion of the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement in accordance
with the terms thereof (of which there are none), will, without any action
on the part of Intel, Purchaser,
Mobileye, the holder thereof or any other person, be accelerated (if
required) and converted into and will become
a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product
of (x) the excess, if any, of the Offer
Consideration over the applicable per Share exercise price of such Mobileye
Option multiplied by (y) the number
of Shares subject to such Mobileye Option. Each Mobileye Option described in
the prior sentence is referred to
herein as a "Terminating Option." Each Terminating Option that is
outstanding and unexercised immediately
prior to the Offer Closing that has an exercise price equal to or greater
than the Offer Consideration will be
cancelled as of the Offer Closing without consideration therefor and the
holder of such Terminating Option will
cease to have any rights with respect thereto. Any such payment with respect
to a Terminating Option shall be
subject to all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding
requirements, and, with respect to Israeli
employees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Israel Equity
Tax Ruling, if obtained.
At the Offer Closing, each Mobileye Option that is outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Offer Closing
and that is not a Terminating Option, will, without any action on the part
of Intel, Purchaser, Mobileye, the
holder thereof or any other person, be converted into an option to purchase,
subject to the same terms and
conditions as applied to such Mobileye Option (including the same vesting
schedule and terms regarding
acceleration and forfeiture upon termination of employment or service)
immediately prior to the Offer Closing, a
number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
of Intel equal to (w) the number of
Shares subject to such Mobileye Option immediately prior to the Offer
Closing multiplied by (x) the Equity
Award Adjustment Ratio, with an exercise price per Share (rounded up to the
nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the
exercise price per Share for which such Mobileye Option was exercisable
immediately prior to the Offer Closing
divided by (z) the Equity Award Adjustment Ratio. The terms and conditions
applicable to certain of these
Mobileye Options will be modified as agreed to by the parties on the date of
the Purchase Agreement.

INTRODUCTION
To the Holders of Ordinary Shares of Mobileye N.V.:
Cyclops Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser")
and a wholly owned subsidiary
of Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Intel"), is offering to
purchase all of the outstanding ordinary
shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Mobileye N.V., a
public limited liability company
(naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands
registered with the trade register in The
Netherlands under file number 34158597 ("Mobileye"), at a purchase price of
$63.54 per Share, less any
applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof,
payable in cash (the "Offer
Consideration"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to
Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of
Transmittal" and, together with this Offer to
Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Offer").
The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of March
12, 2017 (as it may be
amended from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Intel,
Cyclops Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Intel ("Cyclops") and Mobileye.
On April 4, 2017, Cyclops
converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Conversion"). The
Conversion has not adversely impacted, and will not adversely impact, in any
respect Mobileye or any of its
shareholders, or Mobileye's rights under the Purchase Agreement, and has not
relieved, and will not relieve, Intel
or Cyclops of its respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. All
references to "Purchaser" in
describing Purchaser's rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement
refer to Cyclops prior to the
Conversion, and to Purchaser following the Conversion. Unless the Offer is
earlier terminated, the Offer will
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017 (the "Expiration
Time," unless the Offer is extended
in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in which event "Expiration Time"
will mean the latest time and date
at which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire).
Purchaser may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed
in writing by Mobileye and
Intel, and will extend the Offer for the minimum period required by
applicable law, the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or the rules of the NASDAQ Global Select
Market ("NASDAQ") or the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Purchaser will also extend the Offer on
one or more occasions in
EFTA01430557
consecutive periods of 10 business days each if, at the then-scheduled
Expiration Time, any condition to the
Offer has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of
such condition, or 20 business days in
case of the Antitrust Clearance Condition (as defined below) if such
condition is not reasonably likely to be
satisfied within such 10 business day extension period. Purchaser will not
be required to extend the Offer for
more than two occasions if the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the
Offer is the Minimum Condition (as
defined below) and the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has
been obtained or Intel determines in
its reasonable judgment that the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling will not be
received, and Purchaser is not required
to extend the Offer beyond the End Date (as defined below)
The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth
therein, Purchaser will (and Intel will cause Purchaser to), (a) at or as
promptly as practicable following the
Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter),
accept for payment (the time of
acceptance for payment, the "Acceptance Time"), and (b) at or as promptly as
practicable following the
Acceptance Time (but in any event within three business days (calculated as
set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) thereafter), pay for
all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn
as of the Acceptance Time (such
time of payment, the "Offer Closing"). It is expected that following the
Offer Closing, the listing of the Shares on
the NYSE will be terminated, Mobileye will no longer be a publicly traded
company, and the Shares will be
deregistered under the Exchange Act, resulting in the cessation of
Mobileye's reporting obligations with respect
to the Shares with the SEC.
1
EFTA01430558
Tendering shareholders who are record owners of their Shares and who tender
directly to American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the "Depositary") will not be obligated to
pay brokerage fees or commissions
or, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 6 of the Letter of
Transmittal, stock transfer taxes with respect to
the purchase of Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders who
hold their Shares through a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee should consult such
broker, dealer, commercial bank,
trust company or other nominee as to whether it charges any service fees or
commissions.
The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the absence of the
termination of the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the satisfaction or waiver
(to the extent permitted by the
Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled
Expiration Time: (i) the Minimum
Condition (as its threshold may be lowered pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement); (ii) the Antitrust Clearance
Condition; (iii) the Restraints Condition; (iv) the Governance Resolutions
Condition; and (v) the Material
Adverse Effect Condition, each as defined below.
The "Minimum Condition" requires that there have been validly tendered
pursuant to the Offer and not
properly withdrawn a number of Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to
guaranteed delivery procedures
that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such
guarantee prior to the Expiration Time) that,
together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents
at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, provided that
this threshold (a) may be lowered by
Intel, in its sole discretion, to a percentage not less than 80%, (b) will
be lowered to 80% if the Israel Tax
Authority (the "ITA") issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling, and (c) will
be lowered to 67% if (i) the ITA
issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and (ii) the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Resolutions and Conversion
Resolutions (each as defined below) are adopted at the EGM (as defined
below).
The "Antitrust Clearance Condition" requires (a) the expiration or
termination of any applicable waiting
period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the Offer and the other
transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement under the HSR Act (as defined below), (b) the receipt of all
required consents or approvals under the
Israel Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 5748-1988, as amended, and (c) the
receipt of, or expiration of relevant
waiting periods under, all required clearances or approvals under other
applicable regulatory or antitrust laws as
EFTA01430559
agreed to by Purchaser, Intel, and Mobileye under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement.
The "Restraints Condition" requires that there is not in effect any law,
regulation, order or injunction
entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced, or issued by any court or other
governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction prohibiting, rendering illegal, frustrating, or enjoining the
consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, other than the Call Option. The
foregoing shall also not apply with
respect to any form of Post-Offer Reorganization (other than the Compulsory
Acquisition, or Mobileye's
potential election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3
to be classified as a partnership or as
a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes) to the extent that the
number of Shares tendered pursuant to
the Offer and not properly withdrawn (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to
guaranteed delivery procedures that
have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee
prior to the Expiration Time), together
with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least
95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time.
The "Governance Resolutions Condition" requires that, at the EGM or a
subsequent EGM, Mobileye
shareholders have adopted one or more resolutions effective upon the Offer
Closing to appoint Purchaserdesignated
directors, including two non-executive directors who are independent from
Intel and Purchaser (if
such independent non-executive directors are not already members of the
Mobileye Board), to replace the
members of the Mobileye Board who will resign from the Mobileye Board
effective as of the Offer Closing.
The "Material Adverse Effect Condition" requires that no fact, change,
event, development, occurrence, or
effect has occurred following the date of the Purchase Agreement that,
individually or in the aggregate, would
have or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement).
2
EFTA01430560
The Offer is not subject to a financing condition but is subject to other
conditions as described in this Offer
to Purchase. See Section 15 —"Certain Conditions of the Offer."
After careful consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Mobileye
(the "Mobileye Board") has
unanimously (other than the executive directors, Professor Amnon Shashua and
Mr. Ziv Aviram, who
abstained, due to potential conflicts of interest) (a) determined that the
Purchase Agreement and certain of
the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Mobileye,
its business and its
shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, and (b) approved
and adopted the Purchase
Agreement and approved certain of the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Mobileye Board recommends that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer
and tender their
Shares in the Offer. Furthermore, the Mobileye Board recommends that you
vote "for" each of the items
that contemplates a vote of Mobileye shareholders at the extraordinary
general meeting of Mobileye
shareholders (the "EGM"), which will be combined with Mobileye's 2017 annual
general meeting of
shareholders, scheduled to be held on June 13, 2017, at 3:00 p.m. Central
European Time at the Waldorf
Astoria Amsterdam, Herengracht 542 — 556, 1017 CG Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. At the EGM,
Mobileye shareholders will be requested to vote on approval of (a) the Asset
Sale (as defined below) and
the Liquidation (as defined below), including the appointment of a
liquidator of Mobileye effective as of
the time of the Liquidation (the "Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions"), (b)
certain amendments to
Mobileye's articles of association to become effective after the Offer
Closing, including the conversion of
Mobileye from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or
N.V.) to a private limited
liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or
B.V.) under Dutch law (the
"Conversion Resolutions"), (c) the appointment of directors designated by us
to the Mobileye Board to
replace certain current directors of Mobileye who will resign from the
Mobileye Board effective as of the
Offer Closing, and (d) other matters contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
A more complete description of the reasons that the Mobileye Board approved
the Offer and recommended
that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant
to the Offer is set forth in the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on the Schedule 140-9 that Mobileye is
furnishing to shareholders in
connection with the Offer.
Following the Acceptance Time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement,
EFTA01430561
Purchaser will provide for a
subsequent offering period of at least 10 business days in accordance with
Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act
(the "Subsequent Offering Period"). In the event that prior to the
expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period,
Purchaser or one of its affiliates has elected to (a) exercise its right to
purchase such number of newly issued
ordinary shares of Mobileye so as to increase Purchaser's ownership by 15%
of the total ownership of ordinary
shares of Mobileye after giving effect to such purchase (the "Call Option")
or (b) effectuate the Asset Sale,
Purchaser will extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five
business days (the "Minority Exit Offering
Period"). Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer
Consideration paid pursuant to the
Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by
the Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.
As promptly as practicable following the closing of the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering Period), Intel or Purchaser may effectuate or
cause to be effectuated, at Intel's or
Purchaser's election, a corporate reorganization of Mobileye and its
subsidiaries (the "Post-Offer
Reorganization"). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes
available to Purchaser under Dutch law to
ensure that (a) Purchaser becomes the owner of all of Mobileye's business
operations from and after the
consummation of the Post-Offer Reorganization and (b) any Mobileye
shareholders who do not tender their
Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering
Period, as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) are offered or receive the same consideration
for their Shares as those
shareholders who tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including
during the Subsequent Offering Period,
as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), without
interest and less applicable withholding
3
EFTA01430562
taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Compulsory
Acquisition is implemented, then the
Dutch Court (as defined below) will determine the price to be paid for the
non-tendered Shares. Although Intel
and Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share
price paid in the Compulsory
Acquisition for the non-tendered Shares to be equal to the Offer
Consideration, such price may be greater than,
equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price may potentially be
increased by statutory interest
("Dutch Statutory Interest") accrued at the rate applicable in The
Netherlands (currently two percent per annum).
The period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would begin
either (i) on the date on which the
Offer Consideration became payable to Mobileye shareholders who tendered
their Shares to Purchaser in the
Offer (the "Offer Payment Date"), provided that Purchaser has acquired at
least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date or (ii) under certain
circumstances, including when Purchaser
has not acquired at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst
kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date,
from the date when the Dutch Court renders a judgment allowing the claim for
the Compulsory Acquisition
against the non-tendering shareholders for all of their Mobileye Shares. The
end of the period for the calculation
of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be on the date Purchaser pays for the
Shares then owned by the nontendering
Mobileye shareholders. As a result of the Post-Offer Reorganization,
Mobileye will either be liquidated
or become wholly owned by Purchaser.
Purchaser and Intel may effectuate or cause to be effectuated, at
Purchaser's or Intel's election, the PostOffer
Reorganization by one or more of a variety of actions, potentially including
(a) subject to the receipt of the
Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) and the approval of the Pre-
Wired Asset Sale Resolutions by
Mobileye shareholders at the EGM a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Mobileye to, and the transfer
to and assumption of all or substantially all of the assets and liabilities
of Mobileye by, Purchaser (or an affiliate
of Purchaser) (the "Asset Sale") and, as soon as practicable following the
consummation of the Asset Sale,
completing the Post-Offer Reorganization by the Liquidation (as defined
below) and, as soon as practicable
following the consummation of the Asset Sale, the Second Step Distribution
(as defined below) or (b) if
permissible under applicable law, the Compulsory Acquisition.
Under the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye (which is a tax resident of Israel)
has agreed, as soon as
reasonably practicable after the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and in
EFTA01430563
consultation with Intel and
Purchaser, to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling or
rulings in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Intel and Purchaser that (a) exempts Intel,
Purchaser and Mobileye from Israeli tax with
respect to the Asset Sale, the Second Step Distribution and the Liquidation,
taking into account all relevant
related steps (including the possible conversion of Mobileye from a naamloze
vennootschap or N.V. to a besloten
vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V. following the Asset
Sale) and (b) provides that the Asset
Sale will not adversely affect the remaining duration or the extent of the
incentives available to Mobileye and its
subsidiaries resulting from the status of a "Preferred Enterprise" and/or
"Benefitted Enterprise" under Israel's
Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investment, 1959, or require any
recapture of any previously claimed
incentive, and that the entitlement of Mobileye or any of its subsidiaries
to any such incentive shall be preserved
despite the Asset Sale (clauses (a) and (b) together, the "Pre-Wired Asset
Sale Ruling").
If the ITA issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and Mobileye shareholders
have approved the Pre-Wired
Asset Sale Resolutions and the Conversion Resolutions, and if Purchaser and
Intel elect to proceed with the Asset
Sale followed by the Liquidation and the Second Step Distribution, and if
the number of Shares tendered
pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares validly
tendered during the Subsequent
Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period), together with the Shares then
owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least 67% of Mobileye's
issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) (or 80%,
if the Mobileye shareholders have not approved the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Resolutions and the Conversion
Resolutions), then the cash consideration paid by Purchaser (or an affiliate
of Purchaser) to Mobileye in the Asset
Sale would be an aggregate amount equal to the Offer Consideration
multiplied by the total number of Shares
held by non-tendering Mobileye shareholders as of the expiration of the
Subsequent Offering Period and, upon
consummation of the Asset Sale, (a) Mobileye will hold only the cash
received in the Asset Sale; (b) Purchaser
(or an affiliate of Purchaser) would (i) own all of Mobileye's business
operations and (ii) be the principal
4
EFTA01430564
shareholder in Mobileye; and (c) the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders
would continue to own Shares
representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding.
As soon as practicable following
consummation of the Asset Sale, Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser)
would then complete the Post-Offer
Reorganization by causing Mobileye to be liquidated in accordance with
applicable Dutch procedures (the
"Liquidation"), with Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing an
indemnity or guarantee to the liquidator
in respect of the Liquidation for any deficit in the estate of Mobileye to
enable the liquidator to make an
immediate advance distribution in cash (the "Second Step Distribution") to a
depositary on behalf of each nontendering
Mobileye shareholder in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without
interest and less
applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned.
If the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly
withdrawn (including Shares validly
tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period),
together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents
less than 100% but at least 95% of
Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal), and Purchaser and Intel
elect to have Purchaser commence the
Compulsory Acquisition, Purchaser would then complete the Post-Offer
Reorganization by commencing a
statutory proceeding before the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of
the Amsterdam Court of Appeals
(GerechtshofAmsterdam) (the "Dutch Court") for the compulsory acquisition
(uitkoopprocedure) of nontendered
shares as provided by Dutch law (the "Compulsory Acquisition") of Shares
held by non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders in accordance with Section 2:92a or Section 2:201a of
the DCC. While Intel and
Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share
price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition
to be equal to the Offer Consideration, the Dutch Court has sole discretion
to determine the per Share price,
which may be greater than, equal to, or less than the Offer Consideration
(with such price potentially being
increased by Dutch Statutory Interest). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging)
of the Dutch Court's ruling in the
Compulsory Acquisition, each non-tendering Mobileye shareholder will receive
the Dutch Court-determined per
Share price and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Mobileye.
It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to implement any proposed Post-
Offer Reorganization
promptly after the consummation of the Offer, that such Post-Offer
Reorganization may be delayed or that such
Post-Offer Reorganization may not be able to take place at all. Any Post-
EFTA01430565
Offer Reorganization could be the
subject of litigation, and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization
or prohibit it from occurring on the
terms described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all.
Moreover, even if Purchaser is able to effect
any proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Mobileye
shareholders receive therefrom may be
substantially lower and/or different in form than the consideration that
they would have received had they
tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to
additional taxes).
The U.S. federal income tax consequences and Israeli tax consequences of the
sale of Shares pursuant to the
Offer and pursuant to the Post-Offer Reorganization are described in Section
5 —"Certain Tax Consequences."
The applicable withholding taxes (including Israeli dividend withholding
taxes) and other taxes, if any,
imposed on Mobileye shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to
the Offer (including during
the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) may be
different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Mobileye
shareholders had they tendered
their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering
Period, as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period). Shareholders are urged to
consult with their tax advisers
with regard to the tax consequences of tendering their shares pursuant to
the Offer and the Post-Offer
Reorganization.
This Offer to Purchase does not constitute a solicitation of proxies, and
Purchaser is not soliciting proxies in
connection with the Offer. Proxies may be solicited by Mobileye from its
shareholders in connection with the
EGM, and you should consult and read carefully any shareholders circular or
other materials provided to you by
Mobileye in connection with the EGM.
This Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal contain important
information that should be
read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Offer.

THE TENDER OFFER
1. Terms of the Offer.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the
Offer is extended or amended,
the terms and conditions of such extension or amendment), we will (and Intel
will cause us to), (a) at or as
promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event
within two business days thereafter),
accept for payment and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the
Acceptance Time (but in any event
within three business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3)
promulgated under the Exchange Act)
thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and
not properly withdrawn (as permitted
under Section 4 —"Withdrawal Rights") as of the Acceptance Time. Unless the
Offer is earlier terminated, the
Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017 (unless
later extended as described below).
The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the absence of the
termination of the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the satisfaction or waiver
(to the extent permitted by the
Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled
Expiration Time: (i) the Minimum
Condition (as its threshold may be lowered pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement); (ii) the Antitrust Clearance
Condition; (iii) the Restraints Condition; (iv) the Governance Resolutions
Condition; and (v) the Material
Adverse Effect Condition.
The Offer is not subject to a financing condition but is subject
conditions as described in this Offer
to Purchase. See Section 15 —"Certain Conditions of the Offer."
Subject to Intel's rights to terminate the Purchase Agreement in
with its terms, Purchaser may
extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed in writing by
Mobileye and Intel, and Purchaser
has agreed in the Purchase Agreement that it will extend the Offer:
• for the minimum period required by applicable law, the SEC or the rules of
NASDAQ or the NYSE;
and
• on one or more occasions
with such period to end at
5:00 p.m., New York City time on the last business day of such period (or
such other duration as Intel,
Purchaser and Mobileye may agree) if, at any then-scheduled Expiration Time,
any condition to the
Offer has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of
such condition; except that:
• if Purchaser determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
legal counsel, that at any
then-scheduled Expiration Time, the Antitrust Clearance Condition is not
to other
accordance
in consecutive periods of 10 business days each,
EFTA01430567
reasonably likely to be
satisfied within such 10 business day extension period, then Purchaser will
be permitted to extend
the Offer on such occasion for up to 20 business days;
• if the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the Minimum
Condition and the PreWired
Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has been obtained or Intel determines
in its
reasonable judgment that the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling will not be
received, Purchaser will not
be required to extend the Offer for more than two occasions in consecutive
periods of 10 business
days each (or such other duration as Intel, Purchaser, and Mobileye may
agree); and
• Purchaser is not required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date, which
is March 12, 2018
(subject to automatic extension to June 10, 2018 and September 8, 2018,
respectively, if, at each
such earlier date, all conditions to the closing have been satisfied, other
than the Antitrust
Clearance Condition).
If Purchaser extends the Offer, such extension will extend the time that you
will have to tender (or
withdraw) your Shares.
Subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, Purchaser
expressly reserves the right at any time
prior to the Expiration Time to waive, in whole or in part, any condition to
the Offer and to make any change in
6
EFTA01430568
the terms of or conditions to the Offer. However, Purchaser will not, and
Intel will cause Purchaser not to
(without the prior written consent of Mobileye): (a) waive or change the
Minimum Condition (except to the
extent contemplated under the Purchase Agreement); (b) decrease the Offer
Consideration; (c) change the form
of consideration to be paid in the Offer; (d) decrease the number of Shares
sought in the Offer; (e) extend or
otherwise change the Expiration Time (except as provided in the Purchase
Agreement); or (f) impose additional
conditions to the Offer or otherwise amend, modify, or supplement any of the
conditions to the Offer or terms of
the Offer in a manner adverse to Mobileye shareholders.
Any extension of the Offer will be followed by a public announcement of the
extension no later than 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the day on which
the Offer was otherwise scheduled to
expire, which notice shall also include the approximate number of Shares
validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn as of such date. Without limiting the manner in which Purchaser
may choose to make any public
announcement, it currently intends to make announcements regarding the Offer
by issuing a press release and
making an appropriate filing with the SEC.
If Purchaser extends the Offer, is delayed in its acceptance for payment of
or payment (whether before or
after its acceptance for payment for Shares) for Shares, or is unable to
accept Shares for payment pursuant to the
Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to its rights under the Offer
and the Purchase Agreement, the
Depositary may retain tendered Shares on Purchaser's behalf, and such Shares
may not be withdrawn except to
the extent that tendering shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as
described in this Offer to Purchase
under Section 4 —"Withdrawal Rights." However, Purchaser's ability to delay
the payment for Shares that it has
accepted for payment is limited by Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act,
which requires Purchaser to promptly
pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on
behalf of shareholders promptly after the
termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
If, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser makes a
material change in the terms of the
Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if Purchaser waives a
material condition of the Offer, Purchaser
will disseminate additional tender offer materials and extend the Offer if
and to the extent required by Rules 14d4(d)(1),
14d-6(c), and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which
an offer must remain
open following material changes in the terms of the Offer or information
concerning the Offer, other than a
EFTA01430569
change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought, will depend
upon the facts and circumstances,
including the relative materiality of the terms or information changes.
Purchaser understands that in the SEC's
view, an offer should remain open for a minimum of five business days from
the date the material change is first
published, sent, or given to shareholders, and with respect to a change in
price or a change in percentage of
securities sought, a minimum 10 business day period generally is required to
allow for adequate dissemination to
shareholders and investor response.
If, on or before the Expiration Time, Purchaser increases the consideration
being paid for Shares accepted
for payment in the Offer, such increased consideration will be paid to all
shareholders whose Shares are
purchased in the Offer, whether or not such Shares were tendered before the
announcement of the increase in
consideration.
Following the Expiration Time, Purchaser intends to provide for a Subsequent
Offering Period of at least 10
business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act and in
accordance with the Purchase
Agreement. In the event that prior to the expiration of the Subsequent
Offering Period, Purchaser or one of its
affiliates elects to exercise the Call Option or effectuate the Asset Sale,
Purchaser will extend the Subsequent
Offering Period for the Minority Exit Offering Period of at least five
business days. For purposes of the Offer, a
"business day" means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday, or any other day on
which commercial banks in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, or New York, New York, United States, are
authorized or required by applicable
law to close. The Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) is not
an extension of the Offer. A Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period) shall occur after we have accepted, and become obligated to pay for,
all Shares that were validly tendered
7
EFTA01430570
pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn by the Expiration Time, in
which shareholders may tender
Shares not previously tendered pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser will
announce additional details with respect to
the Subsequent Offering Period (including any extension thereof) in
accordance with applicable rules, regulations
and interpretations of the SEC. In particular, Purchaser will announce the
results of the tender offer, including the
approximate number and percentage of securities deposited to date, no later
than 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the next business day after the day on which the Offer was otherwise
scheduled to expire and immediately
begin the Subsequent Offering Period. There will be no withdrawal rights
during the Subsequent Offering Period
(as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period); any Shares
tendered will immediately be accepted
by Purchaser and promptly paid for. Any shares tendered during the
Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) will be acquired by Purchaser
at the Offer Consideration, in cash,
without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Under no
circumstance will interest be paid on the
Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension
of the Offer, the Subsequent
Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period), or any delay in making
payment for Shares.
As promptly as practicable following the closing of the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering Period), Intel or Purchaser may effectuate or
cause to be effectuated, at Intel's or
Purchaser's election, the Post-Offer Reorganization. The Post-Offer
Reorganization will utilize processes
available to Purchaser under Dutch law to ensure that (a) Purchaser becomes
the owner of all of Mobileye's
business operations from and after the consummation of the Post-Offer
Reorganization and (b) any Mobileye
shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including
during the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period)) are
offered or will receive the same
consideration for their Shares as those shareholders who tendered their
Shares pursuant to the Offer (including
during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority
Exit Offering Period)), without
interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Compulsory
Acquisition is implemented, then the Dutch Court will determine the price to
be paid for the Shares. Although
Intel and Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per
Share price paid in the Compulsory
EFTA01430571
Acquisition for the non-tendered Shares to be equal to the Offer
Consideration, such price may be greater than,
equal to, or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price may potentially
be increased by the Dutch Statutory
Interest. As a result of the Post-Offer Reorganization, Mobileye will either
be liquidated or become wholly
owned by Purchaser.
Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to
the terms and conditions of the
Purchase Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, not
to accept for payment any Shares if,
at the Expiration Time, any of the conditions to the Offer have not been
satisfied. See Section 15 —"Certain
Conditions of the Offer." Under certain circumstances, Intel may terminate
the Purchase Agreement and the
Offer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Purchase
Agreement is validly terminated pursuant
to its terms, Purchaser will (and Intel shall cause Purchaser to) promptly
(and in any event within 24 hours
following such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the
Offer and not acquire any Shares
pursuant to the Offer.
Mobileye has provided Intel and Purchaser with the Mobileye shareholder list
and security position listings
for the purpose of disseminating this Offer to Purchase, the related Letter
of Transmittal, and other related
materials to Mobileye shareholders. This Offer to Purchase and the Letter of
Transmittal, together with the
Schedule 14D-9, will be mailed to record holders of Shares whose names
appear on the Mobileye shareholder list
and will be furnished, for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of
Shares, to brokers, dealers, commercial
banks, trust companies, and other nominees whose names, or the names of
whose nominees, appear on the
Mobileye shareholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as participants
in a clearing agency's security position
listing for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Shares.

EFTA01430572
2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser (to the extent such
waiver is permitted by applicable law
and the terms of the Purchase Agreement) of all the conditions to the Offer
set forth in Section 15 —"Certain
Conditions of the Offer," we will (and Intel will cause us to), (a) at or as
promptly as practicable following the
Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter),
accept for payment and (b) at or as
promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in any event
within three business days (calculated
as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act)
thereafter), pay for all Shares validly
tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn as of the
Acceptance Time. See Section 1 —"Terms
of the Offer." During the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering
Period), we will immediately accept for payment and promptly pay for all
additional Shares tendered during such
Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period), subject to and in
compliance with the requirements of Rule 14d-11(e) under the Exchange Act.
Subject to compliance with
Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, we expressly reserve the right to
delay payment for Shares in order to
comply in whole or in part with any applicable law, including, without
limitation, the HSR Act, the Israel
Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 5748-1988, as amended, and any other
applicable foreign antitrust, competition,
or merger control laws. See Section 16 —"Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory
Approvals."
In all cases, we will pay for Shares tendered and accepted for payment
pursuant to the Offer only after
timely receipt by the Depositary of (a) if you are a record holder and you
hold Shares in book-entry form on the
books of Mobileye's transfer agent, (i) the Letter of Transmittal, properly
completed and duly executed, and
(ii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal and (b) if
your Shares are held in "street" name
and are being tendered by book-entry transfer, (i) confirmation of a book-
entry transfer of such Shares ("BookEntry
Confirmation") into the Depositary's account at The Depository Trust Company
(the "Book-Entry Transfer
Facility") pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3 —"Procedures
for Accepting the Offer and Tendering
Shares," (ii) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly
executed, with any required signature
guarantees, or an Agent's Message (as defined below) in lieu of a Letter of
Transmittal, and (iii) any other
documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. Accordingly, tendering
shareholders may be paid at different
EFTA01430573
times depending upon when the foregoing documents with respect to Shares are
actually received by the
Depositary. Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer
Consideration paid pursuant to the
Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by
the Minority Exit Offering Period), or any delay in making payment for
Shares.
On the terms of and subject to the conditions to the Offer, we will (and
Intel will cause us to), (a) at or as
promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event
within two business days thereafter),
accept for payment and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the
Acceptance Time (but in any event
within three business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3)
promulgated under the Exchange Act)
thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and
not properly withdrawn as of the
Acceptance Time. For purposes of the Offer, we will be deemed to have
accepted for payment, and thereby
purchased, Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly
withdrawn as, if and when we give oral
or written notice to the Depositary of our acceptance for payment of such
Shares pursuant to the Offer. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for Shares
accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer
will be made by deposit of the Offer Consideration for such Shares with the
Depositary, which will act as paying
agent for tendering shareholders for the purpose of receiving payments from
us and transmitting such payments
to tendering shareholders whose Shares have been accepted for payment. If we
extend the Offer, are delayed in
our acceptance for payment of Shares, or are unable to accept Shares for
payment pursuant to the Offer for any
reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the Offer and the
Purchase Agreement, the Depositary may
retain tendered Shares on our behalf, and such Shares may not be withdrawn
except to the extent that tendering
shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described herein under
Section 4 —"Withdrawal Rights" and as
otherwise required by Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
If any tendered Shares are not accepted for payment for any reason pursuant
to the terms and conditions of
the Offer, such unpurchased Shares will be returned, without expense, to the
tendering shareholder (or, in the
9
EFTA01430574
case of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer into the Depositary's account
at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility
pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 3 —"Procedures for Accepting
the Offer and Tendering Shares,"
such Shares will be credited to an account maintained at the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility), promptly following
the expiration or termination of the Offer.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt), and acceptance for
payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, which
determination will be final and binding upon the tendering party.
Shares tendered by a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will not be deemed
validly tendered for purposes
of satisfying the Minimum Condition unless and until the Shares to which
such Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery relates are delivered to the Depositary prior to the Expiration
Time.
3. Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares.
Tenders. In order for Shares to be validly tendered pursuant to
the Letter of Transmittal (or a
manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly
together with any required signature
guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message in
lieu of the Letter of Transmittal) and
any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal must be received
by the Depositary at one of its
addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase, and such
Shares must be tendered pursuant to the
procedure for book-entry transfer described below and a Book-Entry
Confirmation must be received by the
Depositary, in each case prior to the Expiration Time.
The term "Agent's Message" means a message, transmitted by the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility to, and
received by, the Depositary and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation,
stating that the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the
participant in the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility tendering Shares that are the subject of such Book-Entry
Confirmation that such participant has received
and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that
Purchaser may enforce such agreement
against such participant. The term "Agent's Message" also includes any hard
copy printout evidencing such
message generated by a computer terminal maintained at the Depositary's
office.
Book-Entry Transfer. The Depositary will establish an account with respect
to Shares at the Book-Entry
Transfer Facility for purposes of the Offer within two business days after
the date of this Offer to Purchase. Any
financial institution that is a participant in the system of the Book-Entry
the Offer,
executed,
EFTA01430575
Transfer Facility may make a book-entry
delivery of Shares by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer
such Shares into the Depositary's
account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with the Book-
Entry Transfer Facility's procedures for
such transfer. However, although delivery of Shares may be effected through
book-entry transfer at the BookEntry
Transfer Facility, either the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and
duly executed, together with any
required signature guarantees, or an Agent's Message, and any other required
documents, must, in any case, be
received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back
cover of this Offer to Purchase prior to the
Expiration Time, or the tendering shareholder must comply with the
guaranteed delivery procedure described
below. Delivery of documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not
constitute delivery to the
Depositary.
Guarantee ofSignatures. No signature guarantee is required on the Letter of
Transmittal if: (a) the Letter of
Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for purposes
of this Section 3, includes any
participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility's system whose name appears
on a security position listing as the
owner of Shares) of Shares tendered therewith, unless such registered holder
has completed either the box
entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" or the box entitled "Special
Payment Instructions" on the Letter of
Transmittal; or (b) Shares are tendered for the account of a financial
institution (including most commercial
banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a member
of or participant in a recognized
"Medallion Program" approved by the Securities Transfer Association Inc.,
including the Security Transfer
10
EFTA01430576
Agents Medallion Program, the Stock Exchange Medallion Program, and the New
York Stock Exchange
Medallion Signature Program, or any other "eligible guarantor institution,"
as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad15
promulgated under the Exchange Act (each, an "Eligible Institution"). In all
other cases, all signatures on a
Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See
Instruction 1 of the Letter of Transmittal.
Guaranteed Delivery. If a shareholder desires to tender Shares pursuant to
the Offer but such shareholder
cannot deliver the required documents to the Depositary prior to the
Expiration Time, or such shareholder cannot
complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely
basis, such Shares may nevertheless be
tendered, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• such tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;
• a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery,
substantially in the form made
available by Purchaser, is received prior to the Expiration Time by the
Depositary as provided below;
and
• the following must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses
set forth in the Letter of
Transmittal within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of
such Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery: (a) if you are a record holder and you hold Shares in book-entry
form on the books of
Mobileye's transfer agent, (i) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed
and duly executed, and
(ii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal and (b) if
your Shares are held in "street"
name and are being tendered by book-entry transfer, (i) Book-Entry
Confirmation into the Depositary's
account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the procedures set
forth in this Section 3,
(ii) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with
any required signature
guarantees, or an Agent's Message, and (iii) any other documents required by
the Letter of Transmittal.
Shares tendered by a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will not be deemed
validly tendered for purposes
of satisfying the Minimum Condition unless and until Shares underlying such
Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery are delivered to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time. The
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery
may be delivered by overnight courier or transmitted by facsimile
transmission or mailed to the Depositary and
must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in
the form of Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery made available by Purchaser. In the case of Shares held through the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility, the
EFTA01430577
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered to the Depositary by a
participant by means of the confirmation
system of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility.
The method of delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and all other required
documents, including
delivery through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, is at the option and risk
of the tendering shareholder,
and the delivery of all such documents will be deemed made only when
actually received by the Depositary
(including, in the case of a book-entry transfer, receipt of a Book-Entry
Confirmation). If delivery is by
mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is
recommended. In all cases,
sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery prior to the
Expiration Time.
Irregularities. The tender of Shares pursuant to any one of the procedures
described above will constitute
the tendering shareholder's acceptance of the terms and conditions of the
Offer, as well as the tendering
shareholder's representation and warranty that such shareholder has the full
power and authority to tender and
transfer the Shares tendered, as specified in the Letter of Transmittal, and
that when Purchaser accepts the Shares
for payment, it will acquire good and unencumbered title, free and clear of
all liens, restrictions, charges, and
encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims. Purchaser's acceptance
for payment of Shares tendered
pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the
tendering shareholder and Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
Determination ofValidity. All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt),
and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by
Purchaser, in its sole discretion.
11
EFTA01430578
Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders
determined by it not to be in proper form or the
acceptance for payment of which may, in the opinion of Purchaser's counsel,
be unlawful. Purchaser also
reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the
tender of any Shares of any particular
shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in
the case of other shareholders. No
tender of Shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects
and irregularities have been waived
or cured within such time as Purchaser may determine. None of Purchaser, the
Depositary, the Information Agent
or any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or
irregularities in tenders or incur any
liability for failure to give any such notice. Any determinations made by
Purchaser with respect to the terms and
conditions of the Offer may be challenged by Mobileye shareholders, to the
extent permitted by law, and are
subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Appointment. By executing the Letter of Transmittal as set forth above, the
tendering shareholder will
irrevocably appoint designees of Purchaser as such shareholder's attorneys-
in-fact and proxies in the manner set
forth in the Letter of Transmittal, each with full power of substitution, to
the full extent of such shareholder's
rights with respect to the Shares tendered by such shareholder and accepted
for payment by Purchaser and with
respect to any and all other Shares or other securities or rights issued or
issuable in respect of such Shares. All
such powers of attorney and proxies will be considered irrevocable and
coupled with an interest in the tendered
Shares. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent
that, we accept for payment Shares
tendered by such shareholder as provided in this Offer to Purchase. Upon
such appointment, all prior powers of
attorney, proxies, and consents given by such shareholder with respect to
such Shares or other securities or rights
will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent powers of
attorney, proxies, consents, or revocations
may be given by such shareholder (and, if given, will not be deemed
effective). The designees of Purchaser will
thereby be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to
such Shares and other securities or
rights, including, without limitation, with respect to any annual or
extraordinary general meeting of Mobileye
shareholders (including the EGM) or otherwise, as they in their sole
discretion deem proper. Purchaser reserves
the right to require that, in order for Shares to be deemed validly
tendered, immediately upon its acceptance for
payment of such Shares, Purchaser or its designees must be able to exercise
full voting, consent and other rights
EFTA01430579
with respect to such Shares and other related securities or rights,
including voting at any meeting of Mobileye
shareholders.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.
Payments made to shareholders
of Mobileye in the Offer or the Post-Offer Reorganization generally will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax
information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding. To avoid
backup withholding, a U.S.
shareholder should complete and return the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
Form W-9 included in the Letter of
Transmittal, certifying that (a) such shareholder is a U.S. person, (b) the
taxpayer identification number provided
is correct, and (c) that such shareholder is not subject to backup
withholding. Non-U.S. shareholders should
submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, a copy of which
may be obtained from the
Depositary or at www.irs.gov, in order to avoid backup withholding. Such
shareholders should consult a tax
advisor to determine which IRS Form W-8 is appropriate. See the Letter of
Transmittal for more information.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the
backup withholding rules will
be allowed as a credit against a shareholder's U.S. federal income tax
liability and may entitle such shareholder
to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished in the
appropriate manner to the IRS.
4. Withdrawal Rights.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, tenders of Shares made
pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable.
Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be properly withdrawn at any time
prior to the Expiration Time
and, unless theretofore accepted for payment by Purchaser pursuant to the
Offer, may also be withdrawn at any
time after June 4, 2017, which is the 60th day after the date of the
commencement of the Offer.
12
EFTA01430580
For a withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice
of withdrawal must be timely
received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back
cover page of this Offer to Purchase. Any
such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered
the Shares to be withdrawn, the
number of Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of
such Shares, if different from that of
the person who tendered such Shares. If Shares have been tendered pursuant
to the procedure for book-entry
transfer as set forth in Section 3 —"Procedures for Accepting the Offer and
Tendering Shares," any notice of
withdrawal must also specify the name and number of the account at the Book-
Entry Transfer Facility to be
credited with the withdrawn Shares
If Purchaser extends the Offer, is delayed in its acceptance for payment of
or payment (whether before or
after its acceptance for payment for Shares) for Shares, or is unable to
accept Shares for payment pursuant to the
Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to its rights under the Offer
and the Purchase Agreement, the
Depositary may retain tendered Shares on Purchaser's behalf, and such Shares
may not be withdrawn except to
the extent that tendering shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as
described herein.
Withdrawals of Shares may not be rescinded. Any Shares properly withdrawn
will thereafter be deemed not
to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn
Shares may be re-tendered again by
following one of the procedures described in Section 3 —"Procedures for
Accepting the Offer and Tendering
Shares" at any time prior to the Expiration Time.
No withdrawal rights will apply to Shares tendered during the Subsequent
Offering Period (as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) and no withdrawal rights
apply during the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) with
respect to Shares tendered in the Offer
and accepted for payment. See Section 1 —"Terms of the Offer."
Purchaser will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the
form and validity (including
time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal. Purchaser also reserves the
absolute right to waive any defect
or irregularity in the withdrawal of any Shares by any particular
shareholder, regardless of whether or
not similar defects or irregularities are waived or not waived in the case
of other shareholders. None of
Purchaser, the Depositary, the Information Agent, or any other person will
be under any duty to give
notice of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur
any liability for failure to give
EFTA01430581
any such notification. Any determinations made by us with respect to the
terms and conditions of the Offer
may be challenged by Mobileye shareholders, to the extent permitted by law,
and are subject to review by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
5. Certain Tax Consequences.
5A Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences
of the Offer and the Post-Offer
Reorganization to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Mobileye whose Shares
are tendered and accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer or whose Shares are not tendered but who
receive cash in the Post-Offer
Reorganization. The summary is based on current provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), existing, proposed, and temporary regulations thereunder and
administrative and judicial
interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with
retroactive effect and could affect the tax
consequences described below. Purchaser has not sought, and does not
currently intend to seek, any ruling from
the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in
the following summary, and no
assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed
herein, or that a court will not sustain
any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation.
The summary applies only to U.S. Holders who hold their Shares as capital
assets within the meaning of
Section 1221 of the Code. The summary is not a complete description of all
of the tax consequences of the Offer
13
EFTA01430582
or the Post-Offer Reorganization and in particular, does not address many of
the tax considerations applicable to
shareholders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without
limitation: banks, certain financial
institutions or insurance companies; real estate investment trusts,
regulated investment companies or grantor
trusts; dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies; tax-
exempt entities; certain former citizens or
long-term residents of the United States; persons that received Shares as
compensation for the performance of
services; persons that hold Shares as part of a "hedging," "integrated," or
"conversion" transaction or as a
position in a "straddle" for U.S. federal income tax purposes; partnerships
(including entities classified as
partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through
entities, or holders that hold Shares
through such an entity; S-corporations; persons whose functional currency is
not the U.S. dollar; persons that
own directly, indirectly, or through attribution 10% or more of the voting
power or value of the outstanding
Shares; or persons holding Shares in connection with a trade or business
conducted outside the United States;
controlled foreign corporations within the meaning of Section 957 of the
Code; or passive foreign investment
companies within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code ("PFICs").
Moreover, this summary does not address
the U.S. federal estate, gift, Medicare, alternative minimum tax, and any
other applicable non-income tax laws,
or any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.
For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial
owner of Shares that, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or
resident of the United States; (b) a
corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, created or organized under
the laws of the United States, or of any state or the District of Columbia;
(c) an estate, the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (d) a trust,
if (i) a court within the United States is
able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one
or more U.S. persons, within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, have authority to control all of
the trust's substantial decisions or
(ii) the trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.
If a partnership, or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, holds
Shares, the tax treatment of its partners generally will depend upon the
status of the partner and the partnership's
activities. Accordingly, partnerships or other entities treated as
partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes
EFTA01430583
that hold Shares, and partners in those entities, are urged to consult their
tax advisors regarding the specific U.S.
federal income tax consequences to them of the Offer and the Post-Offer
Reorganization.
WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE OFFER AND THE POST-OFFER REORGANIZATION, INCLUDING
THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME,
AND
OTHER TAX LAWS IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
The Receipt ofCash in Exchange for Shares Pursuant to the Offer.
The exchange of Shares by U.S. Holders for cash pursuant to the Offer will
be a taxable transaction for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S. Holder who exchanges Shares
for cash pursuant to the Offer will
recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount
equal to the difference, if any, between
the amount of cash received (determined before the deduction, if any, of any
withholding tax) in exchange for
Shares pursuant to the Offer and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in
such Shares. Any such gain or loss will
be long-term capital gain or loss if a U.S. Holder's holding period for such
Shares is more than one year. Longterm
capital gain recognized by certain non-corporate U.S Holders, including
individuals, is generally subject to
U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates. The deductibility of a
capital loss recognized pursuant to the Offer is
subject to certain limitations. If a U.S. Holder acquired different blocks
of Shares at different times or different
prices, such U.S. Holder must determine its adjusted tax basis and holding
period separately with respect to each
block of Shares.
The foregoing discussion assumes that Mobileye is not currently, and has not
been, a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Mobileye believes it is not, and has not ever been, a
PFIC. In general, the test for
14
EFTA01430584
determining whether Mobileye is or has been a PFIC is applied annually and
is based upon the composition of
Mobileye's and certain of its affiliates' income and assets for such taxable
year. If Mobileye were a PFIC in the
current taxable year or in any prior taxable year in which the tendering
U.S. Holder has held the Shares, then
such U.S. Holder generally would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income
tax consequences with respect to
gain recognized on any sale or exchange of such Shares, including an
exchange of such Shares pursuant to the
Offer, unless such U.S. Holder has in effect certain elections, such as the
mark-to-market election. U.S. Holders
should consult their own tax advisors concerning whether Mobileye is or has
been a PFIC for any given taxable
year during which such U.S. Holder has owned Shares and the tax consequences
of tendering Shares pursuant to
the Offer.
Receipt ofCash in Exchange for Shares Pursuant to the Post-Offer
Reorganization.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Post-Offer Reorganization
will depend on the exact
manner in which it is carried out. However, if a U.S. Holder receives cash
for Shares in the Compulsory
Acquisition or the Second Step Distribution, the U.S federal income tax
consequences to such U.S. Holder
would generally be the same as described above. Each U.S. Holder should
consult its own tax advisor concerning
the tax consequences of exchanging Shares pursuant to the Post-Offer
Reorganization.
Foreign Tax Credits
In certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be subject to Israeli
withholding or other taxes, as further
described in Section 56 —"Certain Israeli Tax Aspects of the Offer and Post-
Offer Reorganization." A U.S.
Holder may be able to obtain a deduction or a credit for such tax; however,
the calculation of deductions and U.S.
foreign tax credits involves the application of complex rules and
limitations may apply. U.S. Holders should
consult their tax advisors as to whether these Israeli taxes, if imposed,
may be creditable against the U.S.
Holder's U.S. federal income tax on foreign-source income from other sources
or are otherwise deductible,
particularly in light of the fact that income recognized on the exchange of
Shares pursuant to the offer or
pursuant to the Post-Offer Reorganization will generally constitute U.S.-
source income.
56 Certain Israeli Tax Aspects ofthe Offer and Post-Offer Reorganization.
The following is a summary of certain Israeli tax consequences of the Offer
and the Post-Offer
Reorganization to shareholders of Mobileye whose Shares are tendered and
accepted for payment pursuant to the
EFTA01430585
Offer or whose Shares are not tendered but who receive cash in the Post-
Offer Reorganization. The summary is
based on current provisions of the Israel Income Tax Ordinance (New
Version), 5721 — 1961 (the "Ordinance"),
and regulations thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations
thereof, all of which are subject to
change, possibly with retroactive effect, and could affect the tax
consequences described below. Mobileye and
Purchaser obtained a ruling from the ITA with respect to withholding
requirements under the Ordinance (the
"Israel Withholding Tax Ruling"). The summary below provides a general
description of certain terms and
conditions of the Israel Withholding Tax Ruling.
This summary is not a complete description of all the tax consequences of
the Offer or the Post-Offer
Reorganization and, in particular, does not address many of the tax
considerations applicable to shareholders that
may be subject to special tax rules or taxation under multiple tax
jurisdictions.
WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC
TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT THE OFFER AND THE POST-OFFER REORGANIZATION WILL HAVE
ON YOU, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND
FOREIGN INCOME, AND OTHER TAX LAWS IN VIEW OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
15
EFTA01430586
The Receipt ofCash in Exchange for Shares Pursuant to the Offer.
Generally, the receipt of cash in exchange for your Shares pursuant to the
Offer (including during the
Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) or the Post-Offer
Reorganization will be considered an Israeli source transaction for Israeli
income tax purposes and may be
subject to mandatory withholding requirements.
Mobileye and Purchaser obtained the Israel Withholding Tax Ruling in order
to exempt shareholders who
are not Israeli residents, as determined under the Ordinance, from Israeli
withholding tax obligations, subject to
the conditions described below and the submission of non-Israeli residency
declarations. The Shares held by
Shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including
during the Subsequent Offering
Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) may be
acquired by Purchaser in the
Compulsory Acquisition. If such Shareholders have not submitted the required
non-Israeli residency declaration
by the time payment for such shares is made, Purchaser may need to withhold
tax from the consideration payable
to such Shareholders at the full default withholding rate pursuant to
Israeli law.
The exchange of Shares by an Israeli individual will generally be subject to
tax at a rate of 25% on real
capital gains derived from the sale of Shares, as long as the individual is
not a "substantial shareholder"
(generally a shareholder owning 10% or more of the right to profits, right
to receive liquidation proceeds, right to
nominate a director or voting rights, who will be subject to tax at a rate
of 30% in respect of real capital gains
derived from the sale of Shares). The determination of whether an individual
is a substantial shareholder will be
made on the date that the Shares are sold. In addition, an individual will
be deemed to be a substantial
shareholder if at any time during the 12 months preceding such date he or
she had been a substantial shareholder.
A shareholder who purchased Shares prior to our initial public offering may
be subject to tax at a higher tax rate,
depending on the date of acquisition of the Shares and the shareholder's
specific circumstances.
Individuals whose annual income or gain exceeds NIS 640,000 will be charged
an additional surcharge tax
at a rate of 3% on the annual income or gain exceeding such amount.
Individual shareholders whose income from
the sale of securities is deemed business income are taxed at their
respective marginal tax rates applicable to
business income (up to 50%, including the additional tax described in the
preceding paragraph).
An Israeli corporate shareholder will be subject to corporate tax, with
EFTA01430587
respect to the gain derived from the
exchange of its Shares, at a rate of 24%.
The exchange of Shares by non-Israeli resident shareholders for cash
pursuant to the Offer can be exempt
from Israeli capital gains tax subject to certain conditions stated in the
Ordinance, and provided such gains do not
derive from a permanent establishment of such shareholder in Israel.
However, non-Israeli entities will not be
entitled to such exemption if Israeli residents (i) own (directly or
indirectly), alone or together with others, a
controlling interest of more than 25% of any of the means of control in such
non-Israeli entity, or (ii) are the
beneficiaries of or entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of
such non-Israeli entity, directly or
indirectly.
In addition, a sale of securities by a non-Israeli resident may be exempt
from Israeli capital gains tax under
the provisions of an applicable tax treaty.
The Israel Withholding Tax Ruling provides, among other things, that (1)
payments made to non-Israeli
brokers with respect to tendering Mobileye shareholders who certify that
they (a) hold less than 5% of the
outstanding Mobileye shares, (b) acquired their Mobileye shares on or after
January 1, 2009, and (c) are
currently, and at the time they acquired their Mobileye shares, non-Israeli
residents for Israeli tax purposes, and
provide the required signed declarations to such effect, will be exempt from
Israeli withholding tax; (2) payments
made to eligible Israeli brokers or Israeli financial institutions with
respect to tendering Mobileye shareholders
who hold less than 5% of the outstanding Mobileye shares and acquired their
Mobileye shares on or after January
1, 2009, will be exempt from Israeli withholding tax by the Purchaser, and
the relevant Israeli broker or Israeli
financial institution will withhold Israeli tax, as required under Israeli
law; and (3) payments made with respect
16
EFTA01430588
to tendering Mobileye shareholders not described in sections (1) and (2)
above will be subject to Israeli
withholding tax (generally at the rate of 25% for individuals and 24% for
corporations), unless they provide a
valid certificate issued by the ITA providing for an exemption from
withholding or for a reduced withholding tax
rate that will be in effect as of the date of actual payment for the sale of
Mobileye shares. According to the terms
of the Israel Withholding Tax Ruling, such valid certificate must
specifically relate to the sale of Mobileye shares
and a general exemption for "services and assets" may not be relied upon for
an exemption or reduced rate of
withholding. Once the closing occurs and the sale of Mobileye shares is
confirmed, there will be no further
opportunity to provide a valid certificate or remedy any deficiencies in a
certificate that has already been
provided, including in the event that a certificate limited in time is no
longer in effect as of the date of payment.
Receipt ofCash in Exchange for Shares Pursuant to the Post-Offer
Reorganization.
The Israeli tax consequences of the Post-Offer Reorganization imposed on
Mobileye shareholders in respect
of the Second Step Distribution may be different from, and greater than, the
taxes imposed upon such
shareholders of Mobileye had they tendered their Shares pursuant to the
Offer (including during the Subsequent
Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period), and may be subject to additional
withholding tax requirements. Mobileye and Purchaser have filed an
application for the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Ruling, which, if obtained, may provide that a shareholder receiving cash in
the Second Step Distribution would
generally be treated for Israeli tax purposes as described above.
6. Price Range of Shares; Dividends.

filed electronically with the SEC. Intel has also made and will continue to
make information relating to the

Purchase.
9. Source and Amount of Funds.
The Offer is not conditioned upon Purchaser obtaining financing to fund the
purchase of Shares pursuant to
the Offer and to fund the Post-Offer Reorganization. We believe the
financial condition of Purchaser is not
material to a decision by a holder of Shares whether to sell, hold, or
tender Shares pursuant to the Offer because
(a) the Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares solely for cash, (b)
we will have access to unrestricted cash
and cash equivalents of our affiliates, which we anticipate being sufficient
to purchase all Shares tendered
EFTA01430595
pursuant to the Offer and to complete the Post-Offer Reorganization, (c) the
Offer is not subject to any financing
condition, and (d) if we consummate the Offer and not all outstanding Shares
are tendered pursuant to the Offer
or during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period), we or
Intel may elect to effectuate or cause to be effectuated the Post-Offer
Reorganization, in part, based on the
number of Shares held by us and our affiliates following the Subsequent
Offering Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering Period), including (but not limited to) by (i)
acquiring all assets of Mobileye in the
Asset Sale and, following the consummation of the Asset Sale, dissolving and
liquidating Mobileye in
accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, such that non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders will receive the
Offer Consideration (without interest and less applicable withholding taxes)
as the Second Step Distribution, or
(ii) commencing the Compulsory Acquisition. In the event that the Compulsory
Acquisition is implemented, then
the Dutch Court will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered
Shares. Although Intel and Purchaser
will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share price paid in
the Compulsory Acquisition for the nontendered
Shares to be equal to the Offer Consideration, such price may be greater
than, equal to, or less than the
Offer Consideration. Such price may potentially be increased by the Dutch
Statutory Interest.
We estimate that the total amount of funds required for Purchaser to
purchase all outstanding Shares in the
Offer and to consummate the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, and to pay related
transaction fees and expenses, will be approximately $15 billion. We
anticipate funding such cash requirements
from available cash and cash equivalents of Intel and its subsidiaries.

In the ordinary course of its business, Intel seeks to create value for its
stockholders by, among other things,
enhancing its product offerings and developing a portfolio of differentiated
products. As part of this initiative,
Intel's senior management team regularly considers, evaluates and discusses
with the board of directors of Intel
(the "Intel Board") potential transactions and collaborations that align
with Intel's businesses, strategic direction
and ongoing business development plans. Intel has had commercial dealings
with Mobileye for some time,
including as part of the collaboration among BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye
established on July 1, 2016 and
aimed at creating an industry standard and defining a platform for
autonomous driving that would address
Level 3 to Level 5 autonomous driving and be made available to car vendors.
During the course of Intel's
evaluations and in consideration of prior dealings with Mobileye, Intel
identified Mobileye as a potential
acquisition candidate that could enhance Intel's technology offerings within
the automotive segment.
On September 13, 2016, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Intel Board,
Doug Davis, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Intel's Automated Driving Group, gave a
presentation on Intel's Internet of
Things group and Intel's new Autonomous Driving Group and described Intel's
ongoing collaboration
arrangements with BMW Group and Mobileye. At this time, David Yoffie, a
member of the Intel Board,
identified to the Intel Board a potential personal conflict of interest
arising from serving as an advisor to
shareholders with this Offer to
its direct and indirect
to Purchaser.
key meetings and other events
EFTA01430597
Mobileye (as described in Section 8 —"Certain Information Concerning Intel
and Purchaser"). At such meeting,
members of the Intel Board asked Brian Krzanich, Chief Executive Officer and
Director of Intel, to consider
further opportunities for Intel to expand its efforts in the automotive
industry. Thereafter, Mr. Krzanich directed
Wendell Brooks, Senior Vice President of Intel and President of Intel
Capital, to conduct an initial evaluation of
Mobileye's businesses, operations, and financial performance based on
publicly available information.
On October 6, 2016, some members of the Intel Board met with Intel
management to hear a presentation on
a potential strategic transaction with Mobileye. At the end of the
discussion, such members of the Intel Board
requested that Mr. Brooks prepare a presentation to be given to the full
Intel Board at its meeting on
November 16, 2016 regarding a potential strategic transaction with Mobileye.
During the course of October, November, and December 2016 and January 2017,
Intel management,
together with representatives from Bain & Company Inc., engaged by Intel to
conduct market research on the
environment in which Mobileye operates ("Bain"), Citigroup Global Markets
Inc., a financial advisor to Intel
("Citi"), and Rothschild Inc., a financial advisor to Intel ("Rothschild"),
initiated a comprehensive evaluation of
Mobileye's businesses, operations, and financial performance based on
publicly available information and
engaged in discussions and meetings regarding Mobileye. Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
("Skadden"), counsel to Intel, also participated in certain of those
discussions and meetings.
On November 16, 2016, Mr. Brooks gave a presentation to the Intel Board, at
a regularly scheduled
meeting, on the drivers for a potential strategic transaction with Mobileye
and the proposed structure of such a
transaction. At this meeting, the Intel Board authorized management to
engage in preliminary discussions with
21
EFTA01430598
Mobileye around the possibility of entering into a strategic transaction
with Mobileye. As a result of the potential
personal conflict that Mr. Yoffie had previously disclosed, Mr. Yoffie did
not attend this portion of the Intel
Board meeting and recused himself from this and any subsequent discussions
relating to, and any vote of the
Intel Board regarding, any potential strategic transaction with Mobileye.
Mr. Yoffie also did not receive or
review any documents relating to the potential strategic transaction with
Mobileye in connection with this
meeting or subsequent Intel Board meetings.
On November 27, 2016, Professor Shashua, Co
Officer and Chairman of
Mobileye, and Erez Dagan, Senior VP Advanced
Mobileye, met in Munich,
Germany with Mr. Krzanich, Mr. Brooks and Mr. Davis, for various business
discussions. It was at this meeting
that Intel's representatives first expressed an interest in a potential
strategic transaction with Mobileye. Professor
Shashua explained that Mobileye was not interested in pursuing such
discussions at such time. Professor Shashua
met again with Mr. Brooks and Mr. Davis on November 29, 2016 to discuss the
business of Mobileye in more
detail. At this meeting, Professor Shashua asked Intel to defer any follow-
up conversation until after the
Consumer Electronics Show (commonly known as CES), an annual trade show
organized by the Consumer
Technology Association that is held every January in Las Vegas. In these
discussions, Professor Shashua
expressed his view that in order for a strategic transaction to be
considered by the Mobileye Board, the price per
Share to be paid by Intel would have to be greater than the all-time highest
price at which the Shares had traded
in the past.
On December 7, 2016, Professor Shashua and Mr. Brooks corresponded regarding
the business and
operations of Mobileye. Professor Shashua responded to Mr. Brooks' basic due
diligence questions regarding
Mobileye's business via this correspondence.
On January 5, 2017, Professor Shashua met with Mr. Krzanich and Mr. Brooks
at the 2017 CES Conference.
They discussed Intel's interest in a potential strategic transaction on a
preliminary basis, though no price per
Share was discussed at this time.
On January 19, 2017, Mr. Brooks gave a presentation to the Intel Board, at a
regularly scheduled meeting,
regarding Intel's proposed strategy with
Driving Group and automotive technology,
generally, including a discussion of the
Mobileye. The Intel Board authorized
Intel management to continue its review of a potential
-Founder, Chief Technology
Development & Strategy of
respect to Intel's Automated
potential acquisition by Intel
strategic
of
EFTA01430599
transaction, to continue discussions with
Mobileye regarding a potential acquisition of Mobileye, and to make a non-
binding acquisition proposal.
Following this meeting and at various times in the month of January 2017,
representatives of Intel engaged with
Bain, Citi and Rothschild, as well as Skadden, Houthoff Buruma, Intel's
Dutch Counsel ("Houthoff"), and Yigal
Arnon & Co., Intel's Israeli counsel ("Yigal"), to further develop a
strategy for engaging with Mobileye in
discussions around the potential strategic transaction and to discuss
potential structures for any such potential
strategic transaction.
On January 20, 2017, Mr. Brooks phoned Professor Shashua to inform him that
the Intel Board had
approved the commencement of formal discussions with Mobileye to pursue a
potential strategic transaction.
On January 27, 2017, Mr. Krzanich and Mr. Brooks met with Professor Shashua
and Mr. Aviram,
Mobileye's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, in New York to discuss
preliminarily the general outline of
a potential strategic transaction, process, and timeline. At this meeting,
Intel's representatives preliminarily
suggested an all cash purchase price per Share of $60 in a transaction
providing for the acquisition of 100% of
the Shares, although no agreement regarding price was reached. Mobileye's
representatives indicated to Intel's
representatives that they did not expect the offer from Intel to be
sufficient, but would discuss the offer with the
Mobileye Board.
On January 30, 2017, Mr. Aviram indicated to Mr. Brooks that, based on
preliminary discussions among
Mr. Aviram and certain members of the Mobileye Board, an all cash purchase
price per Share of $70 in a
22
EFTA01430600
transaction providing for the acquisition of 100% of the Shares would be
appropriate. Intel's and Mobileye's
representatives then deferred price discussions until further discussions
around the proposed transaction and the
structure of the proposed transaction could be addressed between the parties
and their respective representatives.
On February 1, 2017, in order to further discussions of a potential
acquisition of Mobileye by Intel, Intel and
Mobileye entered into a transaction letter containing exclusivity provisions
and a confidentiality agreement (each
described in more detail in Section 11 —"The Purchase Agreement; Other
Agreements" under the headings
"Transaction Letter" and "Confidentiality Agreement," respectively).
From February 1, 2017 to February 3, 2017, representatives of Intel and
Mobileye corresponded and held
conference calls regarding the timing and structure of the proposed
transaction.
On February 3, 2017, Intel and its legal counsel, its financial advisors,
and Bain were given access to a
virtual data room containing confidential information about Mobileye. During
the following weeks and through
March 12, 2017, Intel and its representatives continued their comprehensive
evaluation of Mobileye's businesses,
operations, and financial performance based on both publicly available
information and due diligence materials
provided by Mobileye in the virtual data room and engaged in various
discussions and meetings regarding
Mobileye. During that time period, Skadden, Houthoff, and Yigal also
participated in many discussions and
meetings with Intel and its other representatives.
On February 4, 2017, Skadden delivered an initial draft of the Purchase
Agreement to Morrison & Foerster
LLP, Mobileye's counsel ("Morrison & Foerster") (described in more detail in
Section 11 —"The Purchase
Agreement; Other Agreements" under the heading "The Purchase Agreement").
The parties exchanged drafts of
the Purchase Agreement and other documents through the signing of the
Purchase Agreement and ancillary
agreements on March 12, 2017.
On February 9, 2017 and February 10, 2017, representatives of Intel's
management, Skadden, Bain, Citi,
and Rothschild and representatives of Mobileye's management, Morrison &
Foerster, and Van Campen Liem,
Mobileye's Dutch counsel ("Van Campen"), met at Skadden's New York offices
to discuss structuring and
conditionality issues regarding the proposed transaction. Representatives of
Intel's management and Skadden and
representatives of Mobileye's management, Morrison & Foerster, and Van
Campen also met to discuss the initial
draft of the Purchase Agreement delivered by Skadden on February 4, 2017 and
principal areas in which the
EFTA01430601
parties' views diverged as well as structural matters with respect to the
proposed transaction. Mr. Brooks
confirmed during those meetings that Intel would fund the proposed
transaction through cash available on Intel's
balance sheet.
On February 10, 2017, Skadden delivered an initial draft of the form of
Tender and Support Agreement to
Morrison & Foerster (described in more detail in Section 11 —"The Purchase
Agreement; Other Agreements"
under the heading "Tender and Support Agreements" respectively) and Morrison
& Foerster sent Skadden a
revised draft of the Purchase Agreement.
On February 11, 2017, Professor Shashua made a presentation to
representatives of Intel (including Intel's
third party representatives), which included an overview of Mobileye's
business, operations, and strategy.
On February 12, 2017, representatives of Intel's management and Skadden and
representatives of
Mobileye's management and Morrison & Foerster met to discuss the response
draft of the Purchase Agreement
provided by Morrison & Foerster to Skadden on February 10, 2017.
During the week of February 13, 2017, Skadden and Morrison & Forester
exchanged drafts of the other
transaction documents and engaged in multiple discussions regarding the
Purchase Agreement and the other
transaction documents with the additional participation of representatives
of Intel's and Mobileye's management,
Houthoff, Yigal, Van Campen, and Goldfarb Seligman & Co., Mobileye's Israeli
counsel ("Goldfarb"). The
23
EFTA01430602
outstanding issues at this time included, among other things, (a) whether
Mobileye would grant Purchaser a
strategic investment option to purchase up to 15% of the shares of Mobileye,
(b) whether Mobileye's Board
would be entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreement in order to enter into
an alternative acquisition agreement
with respect to a superior proposal, (c) the "tail" period under the Tender
and Support Agreements after
termination of the Purchase Agreement, during which the signatories of the
Tender and Support Agreements
would continue to be bound by certain provisions of such agreements, (d)
which of Mobileye's insiders would be
required to enter into Tender and Support Agreements, (e) the definition of
"Company Material Adverse Effect"
and the related Offer Conditions, (f) Intel's level of required effort in
order to obtain regulatory approvals, and
(g) Mobileye's request for reverse termination compensation, and Intel's
request for termination compensation,
and the circumstances under which these amounts would become payable.
From February 16, 2017 to February 18, 2017, representatives of Intel's
management, Skadden and
Houthoff met with representatives of Mobileye's management and Morrison &
Foerster at the New York offices
of Skadden to continue to discuss the remaining outstanding issues between
the parties and several open due
diligence items. Such discussions confirmed that there remained significant
gaps between the parties, including
with respect to (a) Intel's request for a strategic investment option to
purchase up to 15% of the Shares of
Mobileye, (b) the termination triggers for the Tender and Support Agreements
requested by Intel, (c) the
definition of "Company Material Adverse Effect," (d) the triggers for the
payment of termination compensation
by Mobileye, and (e) the treatment of Mobileye Options and Mobileye RSUs.
On February 20, 2017, representatives of Intel's management provided an
update to the Intel Board which
included a preliminary review of the potential merits of the proposed
transaction, the potential reaction of
stockholders and the general status of the negotiation of the Purchase
Agreement and other transaction
documents with Mobileye and its representatives, as well as on matters
reviewed in connection with the due
diligence review process. Also on February 20, 2017, Skadden sent Morrison &
Foerster a revised draft of the
Purchase Agreement.
On February 22, 2017, Mobileye issued its earnings release for the fourth
quarter of 2016 and the full year
2016.
From February 24, 2017 through February 26, 2017, representatives of Intel's
management, Skadden, and
Houthoff held meetings with representatives of Mobileye's management,
EFTA01430603
Morrison & Foerster, and Van Campen
at the New York offices of Skadden to negotiate the remaining outstanding
issues between the parties. There
remained significant gaps between the parties, including with respect to the
definition of "Company Material
Adverse Effect," the deal protection mechanisms and certain other important
provisions. In connection with these
discussions, on February 24, 2017, Morrison & Foerster sent Skadden further
revised drafts of the Purchase
Agreement and the form of Tender and Support Agreement. Following these
additional negotiations, it was
agreed, among other things, that (a) Intel would not be granted a strategic
investment option but would be
granted the right to purchase such number of newly issued ordinary shares of
Mobileye so as to increase
Purchaser's ownership by 15% of the total ownership of ordinary shares of
Mobileye after giving effect to such
purchase, which could only be exercised following the expiration of the
Offer and the acceptance for payment by
Purchaser of all Shares validly tendered (referred to in the Purchase
Agreement as the "Call Option"), (b) a
fiduciary termination right of the Mobileye Board would be included in the
Purchase Agreement, (c) Mobileye
would not pay any termination compensation in the event the Purchase
Agreement were terminated as a result of
a superior proposal, (d) for an alternative acquisition proposal to
constitute a superior proposal the topping bid
would be required to be a cash bid for an amount per Share at least 10%
higher than Purchaser's offer price, and
(e) Intel would not pay any termination compensation in the event the
proposed transaction were not to be
consummated due to the failure to receive antitrust clearances.
On February 26, 2017, Intel delivered to Mobileye an initial draft of the
form of Non-Competition
Agreement to be entered into with key Mobileye executives in favor of Intel
providing for a five-year noncompetition
period (as defined and described in more detail in Section 11 —"The Purchase
Agreement; Other
24
EFTA01430604
Agreements" under the heading "Non-Competition Agreement"). On February 26,
2017, Skadden also delivered
to Morrison & Foerster revised drafts of the Purchase Agreement and the form
of Tender and Support
Agreement.
On February 27, 2017, Morrison & Foerster delivered an initial draft of the
confidential disclosure letter to
the Purchase Agreement to Skadden. During the subsequent several days,
representatives of Mobileye's
management and Morrison & Foerster engaged in several calls with
representatives of Intel's management and
Skadden to address questions on the confidential disclosure letter.
On February 28, 2017, representatives of the Mobileye's management, Intel's
management, and
representatives of Morrison & Foerster and Skadden held a conference call to
discuss certain intellectual property
due diligence matters. Also on February 28, 2017, Morrison & Foerster sent
Skadden revised drafts of the
Purchase Agreement and the form of Tender and Support Agreement.
On March 3, 2017, Skadden sent Morrison & Foerster a revised draft of the
form of Tender and Support
Agreement.
On March 5, 2017, Morrison & Foerster sent Skadden a further revised draft
of the Purchase Agreement.
On March 7, 2017 and March 8, 2017, Skadden and Morrison & Foerster
exchanged revised drafts of the
Purchase Agreement.
On March 8, 2017, Mr. Krzanich and Professor Shashua had a call during which
Mr. Krzanich orally
delivered a non-binding proposal to acquire all of the Shares for a price of
$63.15 per Share in cash.
On March 9, 2017, Professor Shashua indicated on a call with Mr. Krzanich
that the Mobileye Board would
require a higher price per Share than $63.15 in cash in order to approve
Mobileye's entry into the Purchase
Agreement. Also on March 9, 2017, Morrison & Foerster sent Skadden a revised
draft of the Purchase
Agreement.
On March 10, 2017, Mr. Krzanich reported to Professor Shashua that he was
prepared to recommend to the
Intel Board an increased price of $63.54 per Share in cash. During such
discussion, Mr. Krzanich also requested
that Professor Shashua commit to a three-year non-competition agreement with
Intel and that Professor Shashua
be subject to certain financial penalties in case Professor Shashua were to
voluntarily terminate his employment
relationship with Intel prior to the three-year anniversary of the Offer
Closing. Following such discussions, on
March 10, 2017, Intel delivered to Mobileye a revised draft of the Non-
Competition Agreement to be entered into
by Professor Shashua and an addendum to Professor Shashua's employment
EFTA01430605
agreement with Mobileye, to be
effective on the closing of the Offer (as described in more detail in
Section 11 —"The Purchase Agreement;
Other Agreements" under the heading "Employment Agreement Addendum").
On March 11, 2017, Mr. Krzanich and Professor Shashua discussed further
Intel's pricing proposal and
Professor Shashua expressed his preliminary support for the revised offer
made by Mr. Krzanich on behalf of
Intel. On the same date, Mr. Krzanich agreed to retract the request that
Professor Shashua be subject to financial
penalties in the event that he were to terminate voluntarily his employment
relationship with Intel prior to a
three-year anniversary of the Offer Closing in exchange for Professor
Shashua's agreement to postpone the
vesting schedule applicable to certain of his options and restricted share
units, if any. Mr. Krzanich also
reaffirmed Intel's position with respect to Professor Shashua entering into
the Non-Competition Agreement with
and in favor of Intel. Also on March 11, 2017, Skadden sent Morrison &
Foerster a revised draft of the Purchase
Agreement.
Also on March 11, 2017, the Intel Board held a meeting that was attended by
members of Intel's
management team and representatives of Skadden, Citi, and Rothschild. During
this meeting, the Intel Board was
25
EFTA01430606
provided with an update regarding discussions with Mobileye and reviewed the
material terms and conditions of
the Purchase Agreement and other transaction documents. The Intel Board was
reminded of its fiduciary duties
under Delaware law. At the conclusion of that meeting, following discussions
and deliberations, the Intel Board
unanimously (other than Mr. Yoffie, who did not participate in the meeting
to avoid any potential conflict of
interest arising from serving as an advisor to Mobileye (as described in
Section 8 —"Certain Information
Concerning Intel and Purchaser")) determined that the proposed acquisition
of Mobileye by Intel was advisable
and in the best interests of Intel, its shareholders, and Purchaser.
On March 12, 2017, Mobileye informed Intel that its proposal had been
accepted by the Mobileye Board
and the definitive Purchase Agreement and the other transaction documents
had been approved and Professor
Shashua executed the Non-Competition Agreement and the Employment Agreement
Addendum related to the
vesting terms of certain of his options and restricted share units.
Later in the day on March 12, 2017, Skadden circulated execution copies of
the Purchase Agreement and the
Tender and Support Agreements. Shortly after the distribution of execution
copies, Intel, Cyclops, and Mobileye
executed the Purchase Agreement, and Intel, Cyclops, Professor Shashua, and
Mr. Aviram executed the Tender
and Support Agreements.
On March 13, 2017, before the opening of U.S. trading markets, Intel and
Mobileye issued a joint press
release announcing the execution of the transaction documents.
For more information on the Purchase Agreement and the other agreements
between Mobileye and Intel,

The Purchase Agreement
The following summary ofcertain provisions ofthe Purchase Agreement, and all
other provisions ofthe
Purchase Agreement discussed herein, are qualified by reference to the
Purchase Agreement itself, which is filed
as Exhibit (d)(1) to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC in connection with
the Offer and is incorporated herein
by reference. The Purchase Agreement may be examined and copies may be
obtained at the places and in the
manner set forth in Section 8 —"Certain Information Concerning Intel and
Purchaser." Shareholders and other
interested parties should read the Purchase Agreement for a more complete
description ofthe provisions
EFTA01430607
summarized below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
have the respective meanings set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
This summary ofthe Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors
with information
regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual
disclosures about Purchaser, Mobileye, or
their respective affiliates. The Purchase Agreement contains
representations, warranties, agreements, and
covenants that are the product ofnegotiations among the parties thereto and
made to, and solely for the benefit
of, each other as ofspecified dates. The assertions embodied in those
representations, warranties, agreements,
and covenants are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the
respective parties and are also
qualified in important part by a confidential disclosure letter delivered by
Mobileye to Purchaser in connection
with the Purchase Agreement. The representations, warranties, agreements,
and covenants in the Purchase
Agreement were made for the purpose ofallocating contractual risk between
the parties thereto and governing
contractual rights and relationships between the parties thereto instead
ofestablishing these matters as facts,
and may be subject to standards ofmateriality applicable to the contracting
parties that differ from those
applicable to security holders ofIntel or Mobileye. In reviewing the
representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or any descriptions thereofin
this Section 11, it is important to
bear in mind that such representations, warranties, agreements, and
covenants or any descriptions thereofwere
26
EFTA01430608
not intended by the parties to the Purchase Agreement to be
characterizations ofthe actual state offacts or
conditions ofPurchaser, Mobileye, or their respective affiliates. Moreover,
information concerning the subject
matter ofthe representations, warranties, agreements, and covenants may have
changed since the date ofthe
Purchase Agreement and may change after the date hereof, and such subsequent
information may or may not be
fully reflected in public disclosures For the foregoing reasons, such
representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants or descriptions thereofshould not be read alone and should instead
be read in conjunction with the
other information contained in the reports, statements, and filings that
Intel and Mobileye publicly file.
The Purchase Agreement was originally entered into by and among Cyclops,
Intel and Mobileye. On April
4, 2017, Cyclops converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited
liability company. The
Conversion has not adversely impacted, and will not adversely impact, in any
respect Mobileye or any ofits
shareholders, or Mobileye's rights under the Purchase Agreement, and has not
relieved, and will not relieve,
Intel or Cyclops ofits respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
All references to "Purchaser" in
describing Purchaser's rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement
refer to Cyclops prior to the
Conversion, and to Purchaser following the Conversion.
The Offer. Purchaser has agreed to commence (within the meaning of Rule
14d-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date
of the Purchase Agreement, but (as
extended) no later than April 5, 2017, or such other date as shall be agreed
in writing. Subject to the satisfaction
or waiver (in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of
the conditions to the Offer,
Purchaser has agreed to (and Intel has agreed to cause Purchaser to), (a)
at, or as promptly as practicable
following, the Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days
thereafter), accept for payment, and
(b) at, or as promptly as practicable following, the Acceptance Time (but in
any event within three business days
(calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange

validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn.
Purchaser expressly reserves the right at any time prior to the Expiration
Time, at its sole discretion, to
waive, in whole or in part, any condition to the Offer and to make any
change in the terms of or conditions to the
Offer. However, Purchaser will not, and Intel will cause Purchaser not to

Mobileye): (a) waive or change the Minimum Condition (except to the extent
EFTA01430609
contemplated under the Purchase
Agreement); (b) decrease the Offer Consideration; (c) change the form of
consideration to be paid in the Offer;
(d) decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer; (e) extend or
otherwise change the Expiration Time
(except as provided in the Purchase Agreement); or (f) impose additional
conditions to the Offer or otherwise
amend, modify, or supplement any of the conditions to the Offer or terms of
the Offer in a manner adverse to
Mobileye shareholders.
Extensions ofthe Offer. In the Purchase Agreement, the parties agreed that,
unless extended as provided in
the Purchase Agreement, the Offer will expire at such time as the parties
may mutually agree on the date that is
the later of (a) 21 business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)-
(3) promulgated under the Exchange
Act) after the date of commencement of the Offer and (b) such date as is six
business days after the date of the
EGM. Purchaser may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be
agreed in writing by Mobileye and
Intel, and Purchaser has agreed in the Purchase Agreement that it will
extend the Offer:
• for the minimum period required by applicable law, the SEC or the rules of
NASDAQ or the NYSE;
and
• on one or more occasions in consecutive periods of 10 business days each,
with such period to end at
5:00 p.m., New York City time on the last business day of such period (or
such other duration as Intel,
Purchaser and Mobileye may agree) if, at any then-scheduled Expiration Time,
any condition to the
Offer has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of
such condition; except that:
• if Purchaser determines in good faith, after consultation with outside
legal counsel, that at any
then-scheduled Expiration Time the Antitrust Clearance Condition is not
reasonably likely to be
27
EFTA01430610
satisfied within such 10 business day extension period, then Purchaser will
be permitted to extend
the Offer on such occasion for up to 20 business days;
• if the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the Minimum
Condition and the PreWired
Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has been obtained, or Intel determines
in its
reasonable judgment that the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling will not be
received, Purchaser will not
be required to extend the Offer for more than two occasions in consecutive
periods of 10 business
days each (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Intel, Purchaser,
and Mobileye); and
• Purchaser is not required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date.
Following the Acceptance Time, Purchaser will provide for the Subsequent
Offering Period of at least 10
business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act and in
accordance with the Purchase
Agreement. For purposes of the Offer, a "business day" means a day, other
than Saturday, Sunday or other day
on which commercial banks in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, or New York, New
York, United States, are
authorized or required by applicable law to close. The Subsequent Offering
Period is not an extension of the
Offer. The Subsequent Offering Period would be an additional period of time,
following the Expiration Time, in
which shareholders may tender Shares previously tendered pursuant to the
Offer. Purchaser will announce
additional details with respect to the Subsequent Offering Period in
accordance with applicable rules, regulations
and interpretations of the SEC. In the event that prior to the expiration of
the Subsequent Offering Period,
Purchaser or one of its affiliates elects to exercise the Call Option or
effectuate the Asset Sale, Purchaser will
extend the Subsequent Offering Period for the Minority Exit Offering Period
of at least five business days. There
will be no withdrawal rights during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it
may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) and any Shares tendered will immediately be accepted and
promptly paid for. Any shares
tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period)
will be acquired by Purchaser at the Offer Consideration, in cash, without
interest and less applicable
withholding taxes. Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer
Consideration paid pursuant to
the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended
by the Minority Exit Offering Period), or any delay in making payment for
Shares.

Intel, Purchaser, Mobileye, the holder
thereof, or any other person, be converted into an equity award subject to
the same terms and conditions
applicable to such Mobileye RSU (including the same vesting schedule and
terms regarding acceleration and
forfeiture upon termination of employment or service) immediately prior to
the Offer Closing with respect to a
number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)

product of (x) the excess, if any, of the
Offer Consideration over the applicable per Share exercise price of such
Mobileye Option multiplied by (y) the
number of Shares subject to such Mobileye Option. Each Mobileye Option
described in the prior sentence is
referred to herein as a "Terminating Option " Each Terminating Option that
is outstanding and unexercised
immediately prior to the Offer Closing that has an exercise price equal to
or greater than the Offer Consideration
will be cancelled as of the Offer Closing without consideration therefor,
and the holder of such Terminating
Option will cease to have any rights with respect thereto. Any such payment
with respect to a Terminating
Option shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, and local tax
withholding requirements, and, with respect
to Israeli employees, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Israel Equity Tax Ruling, if obtained.
At the Offer Closing, each Mobileye Option that is outstanding as of
immediately prior to the Offer Closing
EFTA01430613
and that is not a Terminating Option, will, without any action on the part
of Intel, Purchaser, Mobileye, the
holder thereof, or any other person, be converted into an option to
purchase, subject to the same terms and
conditions as applied to such Mobileye Option (including the same vesting
schedule and terms regarding
acceleration and forfeiture upon termination of employment or service)

number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
of Intel equal to (w) the number of

Award Adjustment Ratio, with an exercise price per share (rounded up to the
nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the
exercise price per Share for which such Mobileye Option was exercisable
immediately prior to the Offer Closing

applicable to certain of these
Mobileye Options will be modified as agreed to by the parties on the date of
the Purchase Agreement.

(a) provide information regarding the Offer;
(b) adopt one or more resolutions effective upon the Acceptance Time to
provide full and final discharge
to each member of the Mobileye Board for their acts of management or
supervision, as applicable, up
to the date of the EGM, provided that such discharge will be limited by
general principles of Dutch
law, and provided further that if Purchaser, Intel, or any of their
affiliates becomes a shareholder of
Mobileye, neither they, nor any of their successors or assigns, shall assert
any claim for liability against
the directors in office immediately prior to the EGM based upon acts or
omissions that have been
disclosed to Purchaser or Intel or which are required to be taken under the
Purchase Agreement;
(c) adopt one or more resolutions effective upon the Offer Closing to
appoint Purchaser-designated
directors and to appoint non-executive directors who are independent from

Board) to replace certain
resigning members of the Mobileye Board (the "Governance Resolutions");
(d) adopt one or more resolutions to (i) amend the articles of association

Dutch law, with such amendment becoming effective as soon as practicable

or delayed) and (3) appoint
an affiliate of Purchaser as the custodian of the books and records of

Sale Resolutions (which are described in
greater detail in clauses (e) and (f) above) have not been adopted, or if
EFTA01430615
the Mobileye Board shall determine in its
reasonable judgment that any additional shareholder resolutions should be
adopted, Mobileye will, following
consultation with Purchaser and Intel, duly call and give notice of another
EGM, which will take place at a date
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Intel and not later than a date that
will be prior to the date of the
Expiration Time, to again consider such unpassed resolutions.
Mobileye has agreed that its obligation to duly call, give notice of,
convene, and hold the EGM in
accordance with and subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and its
other obligations with regards to the
EGM as specified in the Purchase Agreement, will not be affected by the
commencement, public proposal, public
disclosure, or communication to Mobileye of any Alternative Acquisition
Proposal (as defined below) (whether
or not a Superior Proposal (as defined below)). Unless the Purchase
Agreement is terminated in accordance with
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye has agreed not to submit to a
vote of the shareholders of
Mobileye any Alternative Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior
Proposal) or any matters relating
thereto.
Mobileye will consult with Purchaser and Intel regarding the date of the EGM
(or any subsequent EGM)
and, unless the Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement, will not cancel
the EGM (or any subsequent EGM) without the prior written consent of
Purchaser and Intel, provided that
Mobileye may, on no more than one occasion, following reasonable
consultation with Purchaser and Intel, and,
to the extent requested in writing by Purchaser and Intel, Mobileye shall
cancel and reconvene the EGM (or any
subsequent EGM) solely to the extent reasonably necessary (x) to ensure that
any supplement or amendment to
EGM materials that the Mobileye Board, after consultation with outside
counsel, reasonably determines is
30
EFTA01430616
necessary to comply with applicable law is made available to Mobileye
shareholders in advance of the EGM (and
any subsequent EGM) or (y) to solicit additional proxies in favor of the
approvals set forth in the Purchase
Agreement. In the event the EGM is cancelled and reconvened, Mobileye will
reconvene the EGM or such
subsequent EGM on a date scheduled by mutual agreement of Mobileye,
Purchaser, and Intel acting reasonably,
as soon as practicable following the date of such cancellation but, in any
event, no later than the day that is thirtyfive
(35) days following the date of such cancellation (or, in the case of any
subsequent EGM, a date that will be
prior to the date of the Expiration Time).
Directors. Intel, Purchaser and Mobileye will use their respective
reasonable best efforts to ensure that the
Mobileye Board will, upon the Offer Closing, be composed of at least seven
directors, at least five of whom will
be designated by Purchaser in writing prior to convening the EGM, and two of
whom will at all times be
independent from Purchaser (the "Independent Directors"). The initial
Independent Directors will be current nonexecutive
directors of Mobileye, to the extent that they shall agree to serve on the
Mobileye Board after the Offer
Closing. Each Independent Director will resign from the Mobileye Board upon
the earliest of (a) such time after
the Acceptance Time as Purchaser and its affiliates, in the aggregate, own
100% of the issued and outstanding
Shares and (b) the Second Step Distribution being paid in full and
completion of the Liquidation.

shareholders of Mobileye shall receive
shares of Purchaser ("Buyer Shares"), cash or receivables in accordance with
Article 2:325 of the DCC (or a mix
of any of the foregoing), upon which merger the holders of the Buyer Shares

Intel at any time before a date to be set
by Intel or Purchaser, after which date the Buyer Shares shall be redeemed;
(h) a statutory (cross-border or

are not at arm's length; (q) any transaction, including a sale and/or

Mobileye and its affiliates or between Mobileye, on the one hand, and Intel

Sale Resolutions have been
adopted at the EGM (or any subsequent EGM), the Asset Sale Threshold has
been achieved, and the Offer
Closing has occurred, Purchaser may require Mobileye to enter into an asset
purchase agreement in the form
attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit A (the "Asset Sale
Agreement"), in which case the parties shall
promptly implement the Asset Sale and take the steps and complete the
actions and transactions set forth in the
Asset Sale Agreement. Immediately following the completion of the Asset
Sale, Mobileye shall implement the
Liquidation, which shall result in the Second Step Distribution in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Asset Sale Agreement.
Call Option. Mobileye has granted Purchaser an irrevocable option to
purchase such number of newly
issued ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share, of Mobileye
("Ordinary Shares"), within the limits of
Mobileye's authorized but unissued share capital at the time of issuance, so
as to increase Purchaser's ownership
of Ordinary Shares by 15% of the total ownership of Ordinary Shares
outstanding, after giving effect to the
exercise in full of the Call Option (in the aggregate, the "Option Shares"),
in exchange for an amount per
Ordinary Share equal to the Offer Consideration. The Call Option is
exercisable one time, in whole or in part,
following the Acceptance Time and no later than the last day of the
Subsequent Offering Period (including any
Minority Exit Offering Period, if applicable). The Call Option terminates
concurrently with the termination of the
Purchase Agreement. Purchaser can pay for the Option Shares at its sole
election, subject to compliance with
mandatory provisions of Dutch law, by (a) wire transfer of immediately
available funds to a bank account
designated at least three business days in advance by Mobileye, (b) issuance
by Purchaser to Mobileye of a
promissory note in favor of Mobileye, guaranteed by Intel or a creditworthy
subsidiary of Intel, (c) contribution

creditworthy subsidiary of Intel in favor of Purchaser, or (d) any
combination of clauses (a) through (c). Intel and
Purchaser shall jointly and severally pay all expenses, and any and all
EFTA01430619
federal, state, Israeli and local taxes and
other charges in any jurisdiction, that may be payable in connection with
the issuance of the Option Shares
including any relevant deeds of issuance in the name of Purchaser or its
permitted assignee, transferee, or
designee.
Certain Adjustments. In the event that, during the period between the date
of the Purchase Agreement and
the Expiration Time, the number of outstanding Shares or securities
convertible or exchangeable into or
exercisable for Shares is changed into a different number of shares or
securities or a different class as a result of a
reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock
dividend or distribution, recapitalization,
merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, then
the Offer Consideration and any other
amounts payable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be equitably
adjusted, without duplication, to reflect
such change.
Representations and Warranties. In the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye has made
customary representations
and warranties to Intel and Purchaser that are subject to specified
exemptions and qualifications contained in the
Purchase Agreement and to certain disclosures in Mobileye's SEC filings
filed or furnished on or after December
31, 2014, and publicly available at least two business days prior to the

the jurisdiction in which its business is being conducted; its subsidiaries;
its articles of association and bylaws; its

and the Schedule 14D-9.
The representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement made by
Mobileye are, in certain cases,
modified by "knowledge," "materiality" and "Company Material Adverse Effect"
qualifiers. For purposes of the
Purchase Agreement, with respect to Mobileye, "knowledge" means the actual
knowledge of certain employees
of Mobileye, after reasonable inquiry of the persons who would reasonably be
expected to have actual knowledge
of the applicable matter. For purposes of the Purchase Agreement, "Company
Material Adverse Effect" means
any fact, change, event, development, occurrence, or effect (each, an
"Effect") that (a) materially adversely
affects the business, assets, results of operations, or financial condition
of Mobileye and its subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, or (b) prevents or materially impairs the ability of Mobileye to
consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Clause (a) of the definition of
Company Material Adverse Effect
excludes:
(i) general economic conditions (or changes in such conditions) in the
United States, The Netherlands,
Israel, or any other country or region in the world in which Mobileye or its
subsidiaries conduct
business, or conditions in the global economy in general;
(ii) changes in any financial, debt, credit, capital, banking, or securities
markets or conditions;
(iii) changes in interest, currency, or exchange rates or in the price of
any commodity, security, or market
index;
(iv) changes after the date of the Purchase Agreement in applicable law,
including any tax law, or the
enforcement or interpretation thereof, or in generally accepted accounting
principles of the United
States of America ("GAAP") or other applicable accounting standards (or the
enforcement or
interpretation thereof);
(v) changes in Mobileye's and its subsidiaries' industries in general;
(vi) any change in the market price, trading volume, or ratings of any
securities or indebtedness of
Mobileye or any of its subsidiaries, any change of the ratings or the
EFTA01430621
ratings outlook for Mobileye or
any of its subsidiaries by any applicable rating agency and the consequences
of such ratings or
outlook decrease, or failure of Mobileye to meet, or the publication of any
report regarding, any
internal or public projections, forecasts, guidance, budgets, predictions,
or estimates of or relating to
Mobileye or any of its subsidiaries (it being understood that the underlying
facts and circumstances
giving rise to such change or failure may, if not otherwise excluded, may be
taken into account in
determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred or will
occur);
(vii) the continuation, occurrence, escalation, outbreak or worsening of any
hostilities, war, police action,
acts of terrorism, sabotage, or military conflicts, whether or not pursuant
to the declaration of an
emergency or war;
(viii) the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement or the
announcement or pendency of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (including by reason of
the identity of
Purchaser), including the impact thereof on the relationships, contractual
or otherwise, of Mobileye
and its subsidiaries with employees, customers, vendors, landlords,
suppliers, or partners (including
the termination, suspension, modification, or reduction of such
relationships);
(ix) the existence, occurrence or continuation of any force majeure events,
including natural or manmade
disasters, any epidemic, pandemic, or other similar outbreak or any other
national, international, or
regional calamity;
33
EFTA01430622
(x) any action brought or threatened by shareholders of Mobileye (whether on
behalf of Mobileye or
otherwise) asserting allegations of breach of fiduciary duty or violations
of securities laws in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
(xi) any action brought, or that could be brought, by any third party
challenging the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; and
(xii) any action expressly required to be taken pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, any action not taken
because it was prohibited under the Purchase Agreement (so long as Mobileye
requested in writing
Intel's waiver or consent to take such action and Intel failed to provide
such waiver or consent), or
any action taken at the express written direction of Intel or Purchaser;
provided that with respect to subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii)
and (ix), Intel or Purchaser must prove that
such Effect disproportionately affects Mobileye and its subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, compared to other
similarly situated companies, and then, to the extent not otherwise
excluded, only such incremental
disproportionate impact or impacts will be taken into account in determining
whether there has been, or would
reasonably be expected to be, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that
Mobileye has represented that the
Mobileye Board, at a meeting duly called and held, has unanimously (other
than the executive directors,
Professor Amnon Shashua and Mr. Ziv Aviram, who abstained, due to potential
conflicts of interest)
(a) determined that the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement are in
the best interests of Mobileye, its business and its shareholders,
employees, and other relevant stakeholders,
(b) approved and adopted the Purchase Agreement (including the execution,
delivery, and performance of the
Purchase Agreement) and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, and (c) resolved, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to
support the Offer and the other
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and to recommend
acceptance of the Offer by the
shareholders of Mobileye and to recommend approval and adoption of the
shareholder approvals at the EGM
(such recommendation, the "Mobileye Board Recommendation"), and that such
recommendation is not
conditional on works council consultation or approval; provided, however,
that the Mobileye Board did not, and
was not asked to, consider or approve (A) certain designated post-offer
transactions or (B) the entry into of
Tender and Support Agreements (as defined below) by Professor Shashua and
EFTA01430623
Mr. Aviram.
In the Purchase Agreement, Intel and Purchaser have also made customary
representations and warranties to
Mobileye that are subject to specified exemptions and qualifications
contained in the Purchase Agreement.
Purchaser's representations and warranties are, in certain cases, modified
by "knowledge," "materiality," and
"Purchaser Material Adverse Effect." For purposes of the Purchase Agreement,
"Purchaser Material Adverse
Effect" means an Effect that prevents, materially impedes or materially
delays the ability of Intel or Purchaser to
perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby.
Purchaser's representations and warranties include representations relating
to, among other things:
organization, valid existence and standing of Purchaser; corporate power and
authority relative to the Purchase
Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
required governmental authorizations
or filings or other consents and approvals; no violations of organizational
documents; accuracy of information
supplied for purposes of the Offer documents and the Schedule 14D-9;
availability of sufficient funds to satisfy
Purchaser's obligations under the Purchase Agreement; lack of ownership of
Shares by Intel, Purchaser or their
affiliates; and absence of litigation.
None of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase
Agreement will survive the
Acceptance Time.

Agreement until the Offer

EFTA01430624

in the confidential disclosure letter
that Mobileye delivered to Purchaser concurrently with the execution of the
Purchase Agreement, (c) required by
applicable law, or (d) requested or consented to in advance in writing by
Intel (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), Mobileye has agreed to, and
to cause each of its subsidiaries to,

subsidiaries and its and their respective
directors and officers not to, (c) to use its reasonable best efforts to
cause their respective representatives not to,
and (d) not to publicly announce any intention to, directly or indirectly,
• solicit, initiate, or knowingly facilitate, knowingly induce, or encourage
(including by providing
information, cooperation or assistance) any inquiries or the making of any
proposal or offer that
constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative
Acquisition Proposal (as defined
below);
• other than to disclose their non-solicitation obligations, enter into,
continue, or otherwise participate in
any discussions or negotiations regarding any Alternative Acquisition
Proposal; or
• execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle,
acquisition agreement, or other
contract (whether or not binding) with respect to an Alternative Acquisition
Proposal.
Mobileye has also agreed to, and has also agreed to cause each of its
subsidiaries and each of the
representatives of Mobileye and its subsidiaries to, immediately cease and
cause to be terminated any and all
existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted prior to the
date of the Purchase Agreement with
respect to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal, and has agreed not to
modify, amend or terminate, or waive,
release or assign, any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill
agreement (or any similar agreement) to
which Mobileye or any of its subsidiaries is a party relating to any such
Alternative Acquisition Proposal and has
agreed to enforce the provisions of any such agreement. Mobileye, however,
will be permitted to release or waive
any such standstill obligations solely to the extent necessary to permit the
party referenced therein to submit an
EFTA01430633
Alternative Acquisition Proposal to the Mobileye Board on a confidential
basis conditioned upon such party
agreeing that Mobileye will not be prohibited from providing any information
to Intel and Purchaser regarding
any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement.
If Mobileye receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Alternative
Acquisition Proposal prior to the Offer
Closing or the earlier termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance
with its terms, Mobileye may then
take the following actions (but only if (a) the Mobileye Board determines in
good faith, after consultation with its
outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with
Mobileye's directors' fiduciary duties
under the laws of The Netherlands and (b) (i) the Mobileye Board determines
in good faith, after consultation
with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Alternative
Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or
would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal (as defined
below) and (ii) the submission of such
Alternative Acquisition Proposal did not result from or arise in connection
with a breach of its non-solicitation
obligations):
• furnish non-public information with respect to Mobileye and its
subsidiaries to the person or group
making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, provided that,
• prior to furnishing any such non-public information, it receives from such
person or group an
executed confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms at least
as restrictive in the
aggregate as the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (as
defined below), and which
39
EFTA01430634
may not contain any exclusivity provision or other term that would restrict,
in any manner,
Mobileye's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement or to
comply with its disclosure obligations to Intel and Purchaser pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement,
and
• prior to or contemporaneously with furnishing any such non-public
information to such person or
group, it furnishes such non-public information to Intel or Purchaser, to
the extent it has not
previously done so; and
• engage in discussions or negotiations with such person or group with
respect to such Alternative
Acquisition Proposal.
Mobileye is required to notify Purchaser as promptly as practicable (and in
any event within 24 hours) after
receipt of any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-
public information or any inquiry that
would reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Acquisition
Proposal, and to provide Intel and Purchaser
with written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Alternative
Acquisition Proposal, request or
inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making any such Alternative
Acquisition Proposal, request or
inquiry, if not previously provided pursuant to its non-solicitation
obligations. Commencing upon the provision
of any notice referred to above and continuing until such Alternative
Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry is
withdrawn, (a) Mobileye (or its outside legal counsel) will keep Intel and
Purchaser (or their outside counsel)
informed on a reasonably current basis regarding the status and terms (other
than immaterial terms) of
discussions and negotiations relating to any such Alternative Acquisition
Proposal, request or inquiry at the
request of Intel or Purchaser and (b) Mobileye will, as promptly as
practicable (and in any event within 24 hours
following the receipt or delivery thereof), provide Intel and Purchaser (or
their outside legal counsel) with
unredacted copies of all written proposals or proposed transaction
agreements (including all schedules and
exhibits thereto) relating to any such Alternative Acquisition Proposal.
Mobileye is also required to provide Intel
and Purchaser with 48 hours' prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is
provided to members of the Mobileye
Board) of any meeting of the Mobileye Board at which it is reasonably
expected to consider any Alternative
Acquisition Proposal. Any material amendment (including the form, amount and
timing of payment of
consideration) to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be
a new Alternative Acquisition
EFTA01430635
Proposal for purposes of Mobileye's non-solicitation obligations.
For the purposes of the Purchase Agreement, an "Alternative Acquisition
Proposal" means any inquiry,
proposal, indication of interest, or offer from any third party relating to,
or that would reasonably be expected to
lead to, any of the following transactions:
• a transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which any third-party
acquires or would acquire,
directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act) of more
than 20% of the outstanding Shares or other equity securities of Mobileye
(or options, rights, or
warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for,
such securities) representing
20% or more of the voting power of Mobileye, including pursuant to a stock
purchase, merger,
consolidation, tender offer, share exchange, or other transaction involving
Mobileye or any of its
subsidiaries;
• any transaction pursuant to which any third party acquires or would
acquire, directly or indirectly,
control of assets (including for this purpose the outstanding equity
securities of Mobileye subsidiaries
and any entity surviving any merger or combination including any of them) of
Mobileye or its
subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the revenues, net income, or assets
(in each case, on a
consolidated basis) of Mobileye and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or
• other than transactions that have been disclosed by Mobileye prior to the
date of the Purchase
Agreement, any disposition of assets representing 20% or more of the
revenues, net income or assets
(in each case, on a consolidated basis) of Mobileye and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.
40
EFTA01430636
For the purposes of the Purchase Agreement, a "Superior Proposal" means a
bona fide written Alternative
Acquisition Proposal that is binding (subject only to the valid termination
of the Purchase Agreement) on the
offeror, that did not result from a breach of Mobileye's non-solicitation
obligations and that the Mobileye Board
has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal
counsel and financial advisors), taking into
account all legal, financial, regulatory, financing, certainty, timing, and
other relevant aspects of the proposal,
and the person making the proposal:
• provides for a purchase price per Share in cash that is at least $6.354
higher than the Offer
Consideration;
• is more favorable to Mobileye and its shareholders, employees and other
stakeholders than the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
• is reasonably likely to be consummated; and
• to the extent third party financing is required, such financing is then
fully committed.
For purposes of the definition of "Superior Proposal," each reference in the
definition of "Alternative
Acquisition Proposal" to "20%" will be deemed to be a reference to "50%."
Mobileye has agreed that the Mobileye Board, or any committee of the
Mobileye Board, will not directly or
indirectly:
(a) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to
withhold, withdraw, qualify,
amend or modify, the Mobileye Board Recommendation or fail to make, or
include in the applicable
Mobileye disclosure documents, the approval, adoption, recommendation, or
declaration of advisability
by the Mobileye Board or any committee thereof, of the Purchase Agreement,
of the Offer or any of the
other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or make any
public statement inconsistent
with the Mobileye Board Recommendation;
(b) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or
approve, any Alternative
Acquisition Proposal; or
(c) publicly make any recommendation in connection with an Alternative
Acquisition Proposal other than
a recommendation against such proposal;
(any action described in clauses (a) through (c) above, an "Adverse
Recommendation Change").
In addition, Mobileye has agreed that neither the Mobileye Board, nor any
committee of the Mobileye
Board, will directly or indirectly, approve or recommend, or publicly
propose to approve or recommend, or allow
Mobileye or any of its affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of
intent, memorandum of understanding,
EFTA01430637
agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option
agreement, joint venture agreement,
partnership agreement, or other similar contract (other than a
confidentiality agreement pursuant to the no
solicitation covenant) (a) relating to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal
or any offer or proposal that would
reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal or (b)
requiring it (or that would require it)
to abandon, terminate, or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement.
Solely in response to a Superior Proposal received after the date of the
Purchase Agreement, the Mobileye
Board may, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, make an Adverse
Recommendation Change or validly
terminate the Purchase Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with
respect to such Superior Proposal or
authorize, resolve, agree, or publicly propose to take any such action, only
if all of the following conditions are
met:
(a) Mobileye has not breached any of its obligations under the no
solicitation covenant (where such breach
proximately caused such Superior Proposal being received by Mobileye);
41
EFTA01430638
(b) subject to clause (c) below, the Mobileye Board will have determined to
effect an Adverse
Recommendation Change or to terminate the Purchase Agreement in order to
enter into the alternative
acquisition agreement, and Mobileye will have:
• provided Intel and Purchaser four business days' prior written notice,
which will state expressly:
• that Mobileye has received a Superior Proposal, and
• the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal (including the
consideration
offered therein and the identity of the person or group making the Superior
Proposal); and
• contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the alternative
acquisition agreement and all
other documents (other than immaterial documents) related to the Superior
Proposal (it being
understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other
material term or
condition of such Superior Proposal will require a new notice and a new four
business day
period); and
• prior to making such an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating the
Purchase
Agreement, to the extent requested by Intel and Purchaser, engaged in good
faith negotiations
with Intel and Purchaser during such four business day period to amend the
Purchase Agreement
in such a manner that the alternative acquisition agreement ceases to
constitute a Superior
Proposal; and
(c) the Mobileye Board will have determined, in good faith, after
consultation with its outside legal
counsel and financial advisors, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and
taking into account any
revised terms proposed by Intel and Purchaser, such Superior Proposal
continues to constitute a
Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation
Change or to so
terminate the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, would be inconsistent with
Mobileye's directors'
fiduciary duties under the laws of The Netherlands.
In addition, the Mobileye Board may, at any time prior to the Expiration
Time, make an Adverse
Recommendation Change or authorize, resolve, agree or publicly propose to
take any such action upon the
occurrence of an Intervening Event (as defined below) only if all of the
following conditions are met:
(a) Mobileye will have:
• provided Intel and Purchaser four business days' prior written notice,
which will:
• set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Intervening
EFTA01430639
Event and the rationale
for the Adverse Recommendation Change; and
• state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Mobileye Board has
determined to effect
an Adverse Recommendation Change; and
• prior to making such an Adverse Recommendation Change, to the extent
requested by Intel and
Purchaser, engaged in good faith negotiations with Intel and Purchaser
during such four business
day period to amend the Purchase Agreement in such a manner that the failure
of the Mobileye
Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the
Intervening Event in
accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer be inconsistent with
Mobileye's directors'
fiduciary duties under the laws of The Netherlands; and
(b) the Mobileye Board will have determined in good faith, after
consultation with its outside legal counsel
and financial advisors, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking
into account any revised terms
proposed by Intel and Purchaser, the failure to make an Adverse
Recommendation Change would be
inconsistent with Mobileye's directors' fiduciary duties under the
applicable laws of The Netherlands.
For purposes of the Purchase Agreement, the term "Intervening Event" means
an event, development or
change in circumstances occurring, arising, or first coming to the attention
of the Mobileye Board after the date
42
EFTA01430640
of the Purchase Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time, that has not
arisen as a result of any actions taken
by Mobileye in breach of the Purchase Agreement, which causes the Mobileye
Board to determine in good faith
(after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors)
that the failure to make an Adverse
Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with Mobileye's directors'
fiduciary duties under the laws of
The Netherlands, provided that in no event will the receipt, existence, or
terms of an Alternative Acquisition
Proposal, or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof, constitute
an Intervening Event.
Unless the Purchase Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, neither
Mobileye nor the Mobileye
Board (or any committee thereof) shall take any action to make the
provisions of any "fair price," "business
combination," " control share acquisition" or other state takeover statute
or similar law inapplicable to any
transactions contemplated by an Alternative Acquisition Proposal.
The Purchase Agreement does not prohibit Mobileye or the Mobileye Board from
taking and disclosing to
Mobileye shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule
14e-2(a) promulgated under the
Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection
with the making or amendment of a
tender offer or exchange offer). However, any such disclosure will be deemed
an Adverse Recommendation
Change unless the Mobileye Board expressly publicly reaffirms its
recommendation.
Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Offer Closing, Mobileye will take
all steps that may be required,
necessary or advisable to cause each benefit plan or similar arrangement
that has been or after the date of the
Purchase Agreement will be entered into by Mobileye or any of its
subsidiaries with any of its directors, officers
or employees pursuant to which consideration is payable to any director,
officer or employee to be approved by
the Compensation Committee of the Mobileye Board as an "employment
compensation, severance or other
employee benefit arrangement" within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2)
promulgated under the Exchange Act
and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth
in Rule 14d-10(d) promulgated under
the Exchange Act. At the time of the taking of such steps described in this
provision, the Compensation
Committee of the Mobileye Board will be composed solely of "independent
directors" within the meaning of
Rule 14d-10(d)(2) promulgated under the Exchange Act and the instructions
thereto.
Israel Tax Rulings. Mobileye (which is a tax resident of Israel) has agreed,
as soon as reasonably practicable
EFTA01430641
after the execution of the Purchase Agreement, in consultation with Intel
and Purchaser, to prepare and file with
the ITA applications for rulings in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Intel and Purchaser,
(a) confirming the treatment of payments of various Mobileye equity awards
subject to Section 102 of the
Ordinance ("Section 102") in connection with the Purchase Agreement (the
"Israel Equity Tax Ruling"), (b) for
the Israel Withholding Tax Ruling (which ruling has already been obtained),
and (c) for the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Ruling (clauses (a)-(c) together, the "Israel Tax Rulings"). Mobileye will
use all reasonable best efforts to
promptly take, or cause to be taken, after prior coordination and
consultation with Intel and Purchaser or their
respective representatives, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper or advisable
under any applicable law to obtain the Israel Tax Rulings as promptly as
practicable after the date of the
Purchase Agreement. In the event that it becomes apparent that the Israel
Equity Tax Ruling will not be received
prior to the Offer Closing, Mobileye will cause its Israeli subsidiary to
obtain prior to the Offer Closing an
interim tax ruling confirming that the Offer Closing shall not adversely
affect the tax status or trigger Israeli
withholding tax requirements with respect to any payments or exchanges made
with respect to Mobileye equity
awards subject to Section 102 (which ruling may be subject to customary
conditions regularly associated with
such a ruling).
Delisting. Mobileye has agreed that prior to the Acceptance Time, Mobileye
will cooperate with Intel and
Purchaser and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
actions, and do or cause to be done all
things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under
applicable laws and rules and policies of the
NYSE to cause the delisting of Mobileye and the Shares from the NYSE as
promptly as practicable after the
Offer Closing and the de-registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act
as promptly as practicable after such
delisting.
43
EFTA01430642
Anti-Takeover Measures. Mobileye and the Mobileye Board (and any applicable
committees thereof) will
take all actions within their power and authority necessary so no anti-
takeover measures are or become applicable
to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. If any anti-
takeover measure becomes applicable to
any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye and
the Mobileye Board (and any
applicable committees thereof) will grant such approvals and take such
actions within their power and authority
as are necessary, so that any such transactions may be consummated as
promptly as practicable on the terms
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and otherwise act
within their power and authority to
eliminate such anti-takeover measures on such transactions.
Obligations Regarding Asset Sale and Liquidation. To the extent any such
actions, transactions or matters
are validly effected by Intel or Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, and subject in the case of the
Asset Sale, Liquidation and Second Step Distribution to the prior receipt of
the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling,
Mobileye shall take all such steps and do all such things as are reasonably
required to procure that the Asset Sale,
the Liquidation, and the Second Step Distribution timely occur.
Director and Officer Liability. For six years after the Offer Closing, Intel
shall cause Mobileye and its
subsidiaries to indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors
or officers of Mobileye and its
subsidiaries in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the
Offer Closing and in connection with
various transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement including the
Asset Sale, the Liquidation, the
Second Step Distribution, and the Tender and Support Agreements (as defined
below), in each case to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law or provided under Mobileye's
organizational documents in effect on the date
of the Purchase Agreement.
For six years following the Offer Closing, Intel has agreed to obtain, or
cause to be obtained, effective as of
the Offer Closing, a "tail" policy for directors' and officers' and
fiduciary liability insurance ("D&O Insurance")
in respect of acts or omissions of Mobileye's directors and officers
occurring at or prior to the Offer Closing,
covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance immediately prior to the
Offer Closing, on terms with
respect to the coverage and amounts no less favorable than those of the D&O
Insurance in effect on the date of
the Purchase Agreement. If the aggregate annual premiums for such policies
at any time during such period
exceed 300% of the per year premium rate paid by Mobileye and its
subsidiaries as of the date of the Purchase
EFTA01430643
Agreement for such policies, then Intel will only be required to provide
such coverage as will then be available at
an annual premium equal to 300% of such rate.
Employee Matters. For a period beginning on the date of the Offer Closing
and ending on the first
anniversary of such date (or, such shorter period of employment, as the case
may be), each Continuing Employee
whose terms and conditions of employment are not governed by a collective
bargaining, works council, or
similar agreement will receive from Purchaser (or its applicable affiliate)
compensation (including base salary
and annual cash bonus opportunity) that is substantially comparable in the
aggregate as to what such Continuing
Employee was entitled to receive immediately prior to the date of the Offer
Closing and benefits that are
substantially comparable in the aggregate to either those benefits
(excluding any equity or equity-based, defined
benefit pension or retiree medical benefits) that are generally made
available as of the date of the Purchase
Agreement by Mobileye to such employees, or those benefits that are
generally made available by Purchaser to
similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its affiliates. Purchaser will
cause Mobileye and its subsidiaries to
honor the terms of any written collective bargaining agreement or similar
agreements to which Mobileye or its
subsidiaries are bound. Any Continuing Employee who incurs a termination of
employment during the period
beginning on the date of the Offer Closing and ending on the first
anniversary of such date will be entitled to
receive the severance payments and benefits that such Continuing Employee
would have received from Mobileye
and its affiliates under Mobileye's severance plans and policies or
individual employment agreements made
available to Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the Offer Closing.
Continuing Employees will be
credited with their years of service under the employee benefit plans of
Purchaser (other than for purposes of
benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan or for purposes of
equity compensation vesting) and its
subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the date
of the Offer Closing, to the extent
44
EFTA01430644
permitted under the terms of such applicable benefit plans, to the same
extent as such Continuing Employees
were entitled to credit for such service under any similar benefit plan in
which the Continuing Employees
participated or were eligible to participate immediately prior to the date
of the Offer Closing, to the extent that
there is no duplication of benefits.
Availability ofFunds. At the Offer Closing, Intel and Purchaser will have
available to them all funds
necessary to enable Purchaser to consummate the Offer and the other
transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement and to satisfy all of Purchaser's obligations under the Purchase
Agreement, including to pay the
aggregate Offer Consideration and to pay all amounts required to consummate
the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement.
Regulatory Approvals; Efforts. Mobileye, Intel, and Purchaser have agreed to
use their respective reasonable
best efforts to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement,
including by (a) promptly obtaining all authorizations, consents, orders,
and approvals from any governmental
authority or other entities that may be, or become, necessary to consummate
the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement, (b) taking all actions that may be requested by any such
governmental authority to obtain
such authorizations, consents, orders, and approvals, and (c) avoiding any
legal orders, or dissolution of any such
legal orders, that would have the effect of preventing or materially
delaying the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. These efforts include, but are not
limited to, (i) filing a Notification
and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act as promptly as practicable following
the date of the Purchase
Agreement, (ii) making all other required filings with respect to other
required antitrust approvals, as agreed by
Mobileye, Intel, and Purchaser under the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
and (iii) responding as promptly as
practicable to any inquiries or requests received from the Federal Trade
Commission or the Department of Justice
for additional information or documentation and any inquiries or requests
received from any state attorney
general, foreign antitrust, or competition authority or other governmental
authority in connection with antitrust or
related matters.
Mobileye, Intel, and Purchaser will consult and cooperate with one another
and consider in good faith the
views of one another in connection with any proceedings relating to
antitrust laws, and each will provide to the
other, in advance, any written analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs,
and proposals made or submitted to
EFTA01430645
any governmental authority in connection with such proceedings. Either party
may limit the disclosure of
commercially sensitive portions of such materials to the outside counsel and
consultants of the other party.
Mobileye, Intel, and Purchaser will give each other prompt notice of any
pending or threatened request,
inquiry, or other action brought by a governmental authority, or brought by
a third party to a governmental
authority, in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement (an "Antitrust Investigation").
To the extent permitted by applicable law and other applicable limitations
(including the preservation of
attorney-client privilege), each party will use its reasonable best efforts
to keep the other parties informed of the
status of any Antitrust Investigation, promptly notify each other of any
communications (other than non-material
communications) received from any governmental authority regarding the
transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement and consult with each other in advance and consider in
good faith each other's views in
connection with any such Antitrust Investigation, including by providing the
other party reasonable opportunity
to comment on any analysis, memorandum, or other presentation made or
submitted to any such governmental
authority.
Mobileye, Intel, and Purchaser will promptly furnish to each other all
information required to be included in
any application or filing made in connection with applicable antitrust laws.
Each party will have the right to review
and, to the extent practicable, to be consulted in good faith on any
information relating to it or its affiliates that
might appear in any such applications or filings, and its comments will be
considered by the other party. In the case
of confidential or proprietary information of a providing party contained in
such applications or filings, disclosure of
such information may be limited to other party's outside legal counsel, and
such outside legal counsel will not
disclose such information to the other party and will enter into a customary
joint defense agreement, if requested. In
the case of information relating to valuation, such information may be
withheld or redacted.
45
EFTA01430646
Acting in good faith, Intel and Purchaser will direct and control all
aspects of the parties' efforts to obtain
regulatory clearance with any governmental authority or in any action
brought to enjoin the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Intel and Purchaser will provide
Mobileye with reasonable advance
notice of any commitment or material actions that it proposes to undertake
in connection with such efforts and
frequently consult with and consider the views of Mobileye in connection
therewith. In addition, Intel or
Purchaser, as applicable, will give Mobileye reasonable advance notice of
and opportunity to participate in all
meetings with governmental authorities in connection with antitrust laws and
regulations and the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (provided that Intel or Purchaser
does not have to cancel or reschedule
such meeting if Mobileye is unable to attend). Intel and Purchaser will use
good faith efforts to ensure Mobileye
has reasonable advance notice of, and the opportunity to participate in, all
teleconferences (other than nonmaterial
teleconferences) with any such governmental authorities and will provide
Mobileye with a reasonably
detailed update on such teleconferences if Mobileye is unable to attend.
Intel will, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates
to, promptly take all actions that are
reasonably necessary to (a) secure the expiration or termination of any
applicable waiting periods under the HSR
Act and the other required antitrust approvals, (b) resolve any objections
to such transactions from any
governmental authority, in each case to the extent necessary in order to
prevent the imposition of any legal
restraint that would prevent, restrict, or delay the consummation of such
transactions, and (c) avoid or eliminate
each and every impediment under the HSR Act and the other applicable
antitrust laws that may be asserted by
any applicable governmental authority or other entity with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement so as to enable such transactions to be consummated as
soon as possible after the date of the
Purchase Agreement. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Intel,
Purchaser, or their respective subsidiaries
or affiliates are not required to (i) proffer, agree, or consent to sell,
divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of, or
otherwise encumber or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, lease,
license, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise
encumber before or after the Acceptance Time, any assets, licenses,
operations, rights, product lines, businesses
or interest therein of Intel, Purchaser, or Mobileye or any of their
respective affiliates, (ii) agree to any material
changes (including through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or
other impairment of Intel's or any of its
EFTA01430647
affiliates' ability to own or operate, any such assets, licenses,
operations, rights, product lines, businesses, or
interests therein or Intel's or Purchaser's ability to vote, transfer,
receive dividends, or otherwise exercise full
ownership rights with respect to the capital stock of Mobileye or (iii)
agree to other structural, behavioral, or
conduct relief with respect to the behavior of Intel, Purchaser, Mobileye or
any of their respective affiliates. In no
event will Mobileye proffer, take, or agree to take any of the actions
described in clauses (i)-(iii) above without
the prior written consent of Intel.
In the event that any legal action is commenced challenging the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement as violating any antitrust law, each party shall cooperate with
each other party and use its respective
reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action and to have
vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned
any order resulting from such action, whether temporary, preliminary or
permanent, that is in effect and that
prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
provided, however, that these obligations shall expire as of the End Date.
Litigation. Except as otherwise set forth in the Purchase Agreement with
regards to regulatory approvals,
Mobileye will control any action brought against Mobileye or any of its
subsidiaries relating in any way to the
Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that
Mobileye will give Intel and
Purchaser the right to (a) review and comment in advance on all filings or
responses to be made by Mobileye in
connection with any litigation related to the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement (and any
amendments thereto) and Mobileye will consider in good faith any comments
proposed by Intel or Purchaser,
(b) fully participate in (at Intel's or Purchaser's expense), but not
control, the defense of any such litigation,
(c) consult on any settlement with respect to such litigation, and (d) fully
participate in any negotiations or
mediation with respect to any settlement with respect to such litigation,
and no such settlement will be agreed to
without Intel's and Purchaser's prior written consent (which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed). Mobileye will promptly notify Intel and Purchaser
of any such litigation related to the
46
EFTA01430648
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement brought, or threatened
in writing, against Mobileye,
members of the Mobileye Board or any subsidiary of Mobileye and will keep
Intel and Purchaser informed on a
current basis with respect to the status thereof.
Other Covenants. The Purchase Agreement contains other customary covenants
and agreements, including,
but not limited to, covenants related to cooperation in the preparation of
certain public filings and required
documentation, public announcements, access to information, notices of
certain events, and further assurances.
Termination ofthe Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement may be
terminated and the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement may be abandoned at any time prior to
the Acceptance Time:
• by mutual written consent of Mobileye and Intel;
• by either Mobileye or Intel, if:
• the Acceptance Time has not occurred on or before the End Date, as it may
be extended in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement from March 12, 2018 to June 10, 2018
and September 8,
2018, respectively, if, at each earlier such date, all conditions to the
closing have been satisfied,
other than the Antitrust Clearance Condition (an "End Date Termination"),
provided that the End
Date Termination will not be available to any party that is in breach of its
covenants or agreements
under the Purchase Agreement where such breach proximately caused the
failure of the
Acceptance Time to occur by the End Date;
• the Restraints Condition is not satisfied and the applicable law or order
has become final and nonappealable
(a "Restraints Termination"), provided that the party seeking to exercise
the Restraints
Termination must have complied with its obligations described under
"Regulatory Approvals;
Efforts" above; or
• the Offer has expired, and shall not have been extended by Intel, without
all of the conditions to
the Offer having been satisfied (a "Condition Failure Termination"),
provided that the Condition
Failure Termination will not be available to any party to the Purchase
Agreement whose breach of
any provision of the Purchase Agreement proximately caused the Offer having
expired without all
of the conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, and will not be
available to Intel if Purchaser
has not extended the Offer in circumstances where Purchaser is required to
extend the Offer under
the Purchase Agreement;
• by Intel:
EFTA01430649
• if Mobileye breaches any of its representation or warranties or fails to
perform any of its
covenants or agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which breach or
failure would result
in any of the conditions to the Offer not being satisfied and such breach or
failure to perform
cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier of (a) the second business
day prior to the End Date
or (b) 30 days after receipt by Mobileye of written notice of such breach or
failure (a "Mobileye
Breach Termination"), provided that a Mobileye Breach Termination will not
be available if Intel
is in material breach of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement; or
• following an Adverse Recommendation Change;
• by Mobileye:
• if (a) Mobileye has received a Superior Proposal, (b) Mobileye has
complied with its covenants
restricting solicitation under the Purchase Agreement, (c) the Mobileye
Board approves, and
Mobileye concurrently with the termination of the Purchase Agreement, enters
into, an alternative
acquisition agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (d)
Mobileye will not have
breached any of its obligations under the termination provisions, where such
breach proximately
caused such Superior Proposal to be received by Mobileye; or
47
EFTA01430650
• if Intel or Purchaser breaches any of its representations or warranties or
failure to perform any
covenant or agreement set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which breach or
failure would result
in any of the conditions to the Offer not being satisfied and such breach or
failure cannot be or has
not been cured by the earlier of the second business day prior to the End
Date or 30 days after
receipt by Intel of written notice of such breach or failure (a "Purchaser
Breach Termination"),
provided that a Purchaser Breach Termination will not be available if
Mobileye is in material
breach of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
Effect ofTermination. If the Purchase Agreement is validly terminated in
accordance with its terms, notice
of such termination will be given to the non-terminating party or parties,
the Purchase Agreement will become
void and of no further effect, with no liability remaining on the part of
any party to the Purchase Agreement (or
any director, officer, employee, shareholder, representative, agent, or
advisor of any party). In no event will any
such termination relieve any party to the Purchase Agreement from its
obligations under the Confidentiality
Agreement and under the Purchase Agreement (a) restricting public disclosure
of the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement and (b) certain other provisions regarding
termination and other miscellaneous
provisions. In no event will either party to the Purchase Agreement be
relieved of any liability for damages
resulting from such party's fraud or willful and intentional breach of the
Purchase Agreement prior to its
termination.
Governing Law, Exclusive Forum. The Purchase Agreement will be governed by
and construed in
accordance with Delaware law, except that any matters concerning or
implicating the Mobileye Board's fiduciary
duties will be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable
fiduciary duty laws of The
Netherlands. Each of Purchaser and Mobileye (a) irrevocably and
unconditionally submits to the personal
jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if
such court declines to accept
jurisdiction over a particular matter, then of the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware, or if
jurisdiction is not then available in the United States District Court for
the District of Delaware (but only in such
event), then of any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County) and
any appellate court from any of such
courts (the "Chosen Courts"), (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or
defeat such personal jurisdiction by
motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Court, (c) agrees
EFTA01430651
that any actions arising in connection
with or relating to the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby will be brought, tried, and
determined only in the Chosen Courts, (d) waives any claim of improper venue
or any claim that the Chosen
Courts are an inconvenient forum, and (e) agrees that it will not bring any
action relating to the Purchase
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby in any court other than
the Chosen Courts.
Specific Performance. The parties to the Purchase Agreement have agreed that
irreparable damage would
occur if any provision of the Purchase Agreement was not performed in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement
and that the parties to the Purchase Agreement will be entitled to
injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the
Purchase Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms
and provisions of the Purchase
Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law
or in equity.

an up to a 1% passive ownership interest in a publicly traded company; (c)
take any action with the objective of,
or that would reasonably be expected to result in interfering with or
negatively affecting Intel's business;
(d) solicit or attempt to solicit the business of any person or entity that
is, or was within the 12 months prior to
50
EFTA01430656
such solicitation, a customer or client of Intel, for the purpose of selling
any products or services that are
competitive with Mobileye's business; (e) solicit or attempt to solicit any
employee or any other service provider
of Intel or any of its related entities to terminate employment or
engagement with Intel, or otherwise adversely
affect such individual's relationship; or (f) encourage any employee or
other service provider of Intel or any of its
related entities to engage in any action in which Professor Shashua would,
under the provisions of the NonCompetition
Agreement, be prohibited from engaging.
Moreover, during the Restricted Period, Professor Shashua must first notify
Intel before commencing
employment or engagement as a consultant, contractor of partner with any
third party (or interviewing for such a
position), and must furnish such new employer or service recipient with a
copy of the Non-Competition Agreement.
Employment Agreement Addendum
The following summary description ofthe Employment Agreement Addendum (as
defined below) and all
other provisions ofthe Employment Agreement Addendum discussed herein are
qualified by reference to such
Employment Agreement Addendum, which has been filed as Exhibit (d)(7) to the
Schedule TO filed with the SEC
in connection with the Offer and is incorporated herein by reference. The
Employment Agreement Addendum
may be examined and copies may be obtained at the places and in the manner
set forth in Section 8 —"Certain
Information Concerning Intel and Purchaser." Shareholders and other
interested parties should read the
Employment Agreement Addendum for a more complete description ofthe
provisions summarized below.
Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Professor Shashua
entered into an addendum to
his employment agreement with Mobileye Vision Technologies Ltd. (the
"Employment Agreement Addendum"),
which will become effective upon Mobileye's becoming an indirect, wholly
owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the
"Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement Addendum, rather than
receiving the benefit of
acceleration of certain outstanding and unvested Mobileye Options and
Mobileye RSUs in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Professor Shashua
agreed to a revised vesting schedule
pursuant to which (a) no such Mobileye Options or Mobileye RSUs will vest
prior to the third anniversary of the
Acquisition, (b) 50% of such Mobileye Options and Mobileye RSUs will vest
upon the third year anniversary of
the Acquisition, and (c) the remaining 50% of such Mobileye Options and
Mobileye RSUs will vest on the fourth
year anniversary of the Acquisition, subject, in each case, to Professor
EFTA01430657
Shashua's continued employment by
Mobileye or an affiliate of Intel through the applicable vesting date.
However, in the event that, following the
Acquisition, Professor Shashua's employment is terminated by Mobileye for
any reason other than cause (as
defined in his employment agreement), or Professor Shashua resigns under
circumstances constituting a deemed
dismissal (as defined in his employment agreement), including, but not
limited to, the requirement that
Professor Shashua report to anyone other than Intel's chief executive
officer, any unvested Mobileye Options and
Mobileye RSUs held by Professor Shashua will immediately vest.
12. Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye.
Purpose ofthe Offer. The purpose of the Offer is for Purchaser to acquire
all of Mobileye's outstanding
equity interests so that Purchaser will own and control all of Mobileye's
business, operations and assets. The
purpose of the Post-Offer Reorganization is to acquire all outstanding
Shares not tendered and purchased
pursuant to the Offer and the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering
Period). If the Offer Closing occurs, Purchaser may elect to consummate the
Post-Offer Reorganization as
described below.
Following the Acceptance Time, Purchaser will provide for the Subsequent
Offering Period of at least 10
business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act and in
accordance with the Purchase
Agreement. In the event that prior to the expiration of the Subsequent
Offering Period, Purchaser or one of its
affiliates elects to exercise the Call Option or effectuate the Asset Sale,
Purchaser will extend the Subsequent
Offering Period for the Minority Exit Offering Period of at least five
business days. The purpose of the
Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period) is to offer to acquire
outstanding Shares that were not tendered pursuant to the Offer.
51
EFTA01430658
If the Offer is consummated, Purchaser expects that certain of the current
directors of the Mobileye Board
will resign, other than at least two independent, non-executive directors as
mutually agreed upon by Purchaser
and Mobileye (unless two of the current independent, non-executive directors
do not agree to serve on the
Mobileye Board after the Offer Closing, in which case Purchaser shall
designate replacement directors who shall
at all times be independent from Intel and Purchaser), who Purchaser expects
will remain on the Mobileye Board
until the earlier of (a) such time after the Offer Closing as Purchaser owns
100% of the outstanding Shares and
(b) the date the completion of the Second Step Distribution and Liquidation.
Purchaser expects that, subject to
the receipt of approval of the Governance Resolutions by Mobileye
shareholders at the EGM, at least five
designees of Purchaser will be appointed to the Mobileye Board effective
upon the Offer Closing.
After the Offer Closing, Purchaser intends to cause Mobileye to terminate
the listing of the Shares on the
NYSE (the "Delisting"). As a result, we anticipate that there will not be an
active trading market for the Shares.
In addition, after the Offer Closing, Purchaser intends to cause Mobileye to
terminate the registration of the
Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable and take steps to
cause the suspension of the reporting
obligations with respect to Mobileye's Shares with the SEC.
In addition, you should be aware that, after amendment of Mobileye's
articles of association, following the
Offer Closing, pursuant to the Conversion Resolutions proposed to be
approved at the EGM, record ownership of
Mobileye shares can only be transferred pursuant to a notarial deed executed
before a Dutch notary, which will
require compliance with various administrative formalities under Dutch law
and will require shareholders to
incur costs for Dutch notarial fees when they transfer Mobileye shares. If
such amendment to Mobileye's articles
of association becomes effective prior to or during the Subsequent Offering
Period or the Minority Exit Offering
Period, then all transfers of record ownership of the Shares to the
Purchaser during the Subsequent Offering
Period and (if applicable) the Minority Exit Offering Period must be
effected by way of a notarial deed executed
before a Dutch notary; this will cause transfers of record ownership of
Shares to the Purchaser during such
extensions of the Offer to be substantially more expensive, cumbersome and
time-consuming than transfers of
record ownership of Shares to the Purchaser prior to the Expiration Time.
Furthermore, you should be aware that
after the second amendment of Mobileye's articles of association pursuant to
the Conversion Resolutions
EFTA01430659
following the Delisting ("Amendment No. 2"), any share acquired by a
Mobileye shareholder after the date of
Amendment No. 2 would not be transferable prior to March 1, 2019, unless the
Mobileye Board has approved
such transfer.
If you sell your Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the
Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period)), you will cease to have any
equity interest in Mobileye or any
right to participate in its earnings and future growth. If you do not tender
your Shares, but the Post-Offer
Reorganization is consummated, you also will no longer have an equity
interest in Mobileye. Similarly, after
selling your Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent
Offering Period (as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit Offering
of any decrease in the value of
Mobileye.
Post-Offer Reorganization. As promptly
of the Subsequent Offering
Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), Intel
or Purchaser may effectuate or cause
to be effectuated, at Intel's or Purchaser's election, the Post-Offer
Reorganization. The Post-Offer
Reorganization will utilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch law
to ensure that (a) Purchaser
becomes the owner of all of Mobileye's business operations from and after
the consummation of the Post-Offer
Reorganization and (b) any Mobileye shareholders who do not tender their
Shares pursuant to the Offer
(including during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by
the Minority Exit Offering Period))
are offered or receive the same consideration for
shareholders who tendered their Shares
pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent
it may be extended by the Minority
Exit Offering Period)), without interest
taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that the Compulsory Acquisition
Court will determine the price to be
paid for the Shares. Although Intel and Purchaser will use their reasonable
best efforts to cause the per Share
52
Period)), you will not bear the risk
as practicable following the closing
their Shares as those
Offering Period (as
and less applicable withholding
is implemented, then the Dutch
EFTA01430660
price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition for the non-tendered Shares to be
equal to the Offer Consideration,
such price may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer
Consideration. Such price may potentially be
increased by the Dutch Statutory Interest. As a result of the Post-Offer
Reorganization, Mobileye will either be
liquidated or become wholly owned by Purchaser.
Purchaser and Intel may effectuate or cause to be effectuated, at
Purchaser's or Intel's election, the PostOffer
Reorganization by one or more of a variety of actions, potentially including
(a) subject to the receipt of the
Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and the approval of the Pre-Wired Asset Sale
Resolutions by Mobileye shareholders
at the EGM, the Asset Sale and, as soon as practicable following the
consummation of the Asset Sale, completing
the Post-Offer Reorganization by the Liquidation and the Second Step
Distribution or (b) if permissible under
applicable law, the Compulsory Acquisition.
Asset Sale, Liquidation and Second Step Distribution. If the ITA issues the
Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and
Mobileye shareholders have approved the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions and
the Conversion Resolutions, and
if Purchaser and Intel elect to proceed with the Asset Sale followed by the
Liquidation and the Second Step
Distribution, and if the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and
not properly withdrawn (including
Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be
extended by the Minority Exit
Offering Period), together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its
affiliates, represents at least 67% of
Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) (or 80%, if the Mobileye
shareholders have not approved the PreWired
Asset Sale Resolutions and the Conversion Resolutions), then the cash
consideration paid by Purchaser (or
an affiliate of Purchaser) to Mobileye in the Asset Sale would be an
aggregate amount equal to the Offer
Consideration multiplied by the total number of Shares held by non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders as of the
expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period and, upon consummation of the
Asset Sale, (a) Mobileye will hold
only the cash received in the Asset Sale; (b) Purchaser (or an affiliate of
Purchaser) would (i) own all of
Mobileye's business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in
Mobileye; and (c) the non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders would continue to own Shares representing, in the
aggregate, a minority of the Shares
then outstanding. As soon as practicable following consummation of the Asset
Sale, Purchaser (or an affiliate of
Purchaser) would then complete the Post-Offer Reorganization by causing the
Liquidation to occur with
Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing an indemnity or guarantee
EFTA01430661
to the liquidator in respect of the
Liquidation for any deficit in the estate of Mobileye to enable the
liquidator to make the Second Step Distribution
immediately to a depositary on behalf of each non-tendering Mobileye
shareholder in an amount equal to the
Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes,
for each Share then owned.
The liquidator in respect of the Liquidation will be appointed at the EGM in
accordance with section 2:23
paragraph 1 of the DCC. Subject to shareholder approval at the EGM, a
foundation (stichting) to be incorporated
under Dutch law (the "Foundation") will be appointed as the liquidator in
respect of the Liquidation once
Mobileye's dissolution has become effective and the Foundation will carry
out the liquidation of Mobileye's
assets and business. Purchaser and Mobileye will use their respective
reasonable best efforts to (a) procure that
the board of directors of the Foundation will, as from the moment of
incorporation, consist of one or more
professional(s) or similar service provider(s) (natural person(s) or a
service provider) and (b) reach agreement
with such service provider as soon as practicable after the date of the
Purchase Agreement; provided that
Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to procure that one
additional director (a natural person or a
professional liquidator) will be appointed to such board of directors to
direct and/or assist such professional for a
period following the consummation of the Asset Sale not to exceed one year.
The Second Step Distribution will result in all non-tendering Mobileye
shareholders receiving, for each
Share then held, cash in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, in each
case, without interest and less
applicable withholding taxes.
Compulsory Acquisition. If the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the
Offer and not properly withdrawn
(including Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as
it may be extended by the Minority
Exit Offering Period), together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its
affiliates, represents less than 100% but
53
EFTA01430662
at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal), and
Purchaser and Intel elect to have Purchaser
commence the Compulsory Acquisition, Purchaser would then complete the Post-
Offer Reorganization by
commencing a statutory proceeding before the Dutch Court for the Compulsory
Acquisition of Shares held by
non-tendering Mobileye shareholders in accordance with Section 2:92a or
Section 2:201a of the DCC. While
Intel and Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per
Share price paid in the Compulsory
Acquisition to be equal to the Offer Consideration, the Dutch Court has sole
discretion to determine the per Share
price, which may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer
Consideration (with such price potentially being
increased by Dutch Statutory Interest). Any dividend or other distribution
made by Mobileye to Mobileye
shareholders during such period will be credited against the amount to be
paid by Purchaser to the non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders. The Dutch Court may appoint one or three experts to
provide a valuation of the Shares
that were not tendered pursuant to the Offer. Upon execution
(tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court's ruling in
the Compulsory Acquisition, each non-tendering Mobileye shareholder will
receive the Dutch Court-determined
per Share price and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Mobileye.
Alternative Post-Offer Reorganization Measures. The Purchase Agreement
provides that Intel or Purchaser
may also effectuate (and cause Mobileye to effectuate) the Post-Offer
Reorganization by means of any of the
following alternative manners (each an "Alternative Post-Closing
Restructuring"):
• an election by Mobileye pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
301.7701-3 to be classified as a
partnership or as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes, as
reasonably determined by Intel
or Purchaser;
• the exercise of the Call Option;
• a statutory legal merger (juridische fusie) in accordance with Article
2:309 et seq. of the DCC between
Mobileye (as the disappearing company) and Purchaser (as the acquiring
company), pursuant to which
merger the shareholders of Mobileye shall receive shares of Purchaser
("Buyer Shares"), cash or
receivables in accordance with Article 2:325 of the DCC (or a mix of any of
the foregoing), upon
which merger the holders of the Buyer Shares shall be granted the right to
exchange Buyer Shares with
Intel or one of its affiliates, for securities of Intel at any time before a
date to be set by Intel or
Purchaser, after which date the Buyer Shares shall be redeemed;
• a statutory (cross-border or domestic) legal (bilateral or triangular)
EFTA01430663
merger (juridische
(driehoeks-)fusie) in accordance with Article 2:309 et seq. of the DCC
between Mobileye, Purchaser or
any affiliate of Intel;
• a statutory legal (bilateral or triangular) demerger (juridische
(driehoeks-) splitsing) of Mobileye in
accordance with Article 2:334a et seq. of the DCC;
• a contribution of cash and/or assets by Purchaser, Intel or by any
affiliate of Intel in exchange for
ordinary shares in Mobileye's share capital, in which circumstances the pre-
emptive rights
(voorkeursrechten), if any, of the minority shareholders of Mobileye could
be excluded;
• a sale and transfer of assets and liabilities (a) by Mobileye or a
subsidiary of Mobileye to Purchaser,
Intel or an affiliate of Intel, or (b) by Purchaser, Intel or any affiliate
of Intel to Mobileye or any
subsidiary of Mobileye, on terms substantially similar to the terms agreed
for the Asset Sale to the
extent this relates to substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
Mobileye and its subsidiaries;
• a distribution of proceeds, cash and/or assets to the shareholders of
Mobileye or share buybacks;
• a dissolution and/or liquidation of Mobileye;
• a subsequent public offer for any Shares held by the minority shareholders
of Mobileye;
• a conversion of Mobileye into a private company with limited liability
(besloten vennootschap met
beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.);
• any transactions between Mobileye and Intel or Purchaser or their
respective affiliates at terms that are
not at arm's length;
54
EFTA01430664
• any transaction, including a sale and/or transfer of any material asset,
between Mobileye and its
affiliates or between Mobileye and Intel or Purchaser or their respective
affiliates with the objective of
utilizing any carry forward tax losses available to Mobileye, Intel,
Purchaser or any of their respective
affiliates;
• any transactions, restructurings, share issues, procedures and/or
proceedings in relation to Mobileye
and/or one or more of its affiliates required to effect the aforementioned
transactions; and
• any combination of the foregoing.
To undertake any Alternative Post-Closing Restructuring (other than the
first two bullet points), Intel or
Purchaser would have to receive the prior written consent of Mobileye (not
to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), which consent would require the affirmative vote of
the Independent Directors if the
proposed Alternative Post-Closing Restructuring constituted an Independent
Director Approval Transaction (as
defined below).
It is possible that Purchaser may not be able to implement any proposed Post-
Offer Reorganization
promptly after the Offer Closing, that such Post-Offer Reorganization may be
delayed or that such Post-Offer
Reorganization may not be able to take place at all. Any Post-Offer
Reorganization could be the subject of
litigation, and a court could delay the Post-Offer Reorganization or
prohibit it from occurring on the terms
described in this Offer to Purchase, or from occurring at all. Moreover,
even if Purchaser is able to effect any
proposed Post-Offer Reorganization, the consideration that Mobileye
shareholders receive therefrom may be
substantially lower and/or different in form than the consideration that
they would have received had they
tendered their Shares in the Offer (and they may also be subject to
additional taxes).
Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer Consideration paid
pursuant to the Offer,
regardless of any extension of the Offer, the Subsequent Offering Period (as
it may be extended by the
Minority Exit Offering Period) or any delay in making payment for Shares.
The affirmative vote of the Independent Directors will be required for
approving (a) any restructuring
(including any Alternative Post-Closing Restructuring) that could reasonably
be expected to lead to a dilution of
the shareholdings of the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders, other than (i)
pursuant to a rights issue by
Mobileye or any other share issue where the non-tendering Mobileye
shareholders have been offered an
opportunity to subscribe pro rata to their then existing shareholding in
EFTA01430665
Mobileye (voorkeursrecht), (ii) subject to
receipt of the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling, the Asset Sale, the Liquidation,
or the Second Step Distribution,
(iii) the Compulsory Acquisition, or (iv) the Call Option, and (b) any other
form of unequal treatment (including
as a result of an Alternative Post-Closing Restructuring) that prejudices or
could reasonably be expected to
prejudice or negatively affect the value of the Shares or voting rights
attached to the Shares held by the nontendering
Mobileye shareholders, other than (i) subject to receipt of the Pre-Wired
Asset Sale Ruling, the Asset
Sale, the Liquidation, or the Second Step Distribution, (ii) the Compulsory
Acquisition, or (iii) the Call Option
(each of (a) and (b), an "Independent Director Approval Transaction").
Plans for Mobileye. It is expected that, initially following the Post-Offer
Reorganization, the business and
operations of Mobileye will, except as set forth in this Offer to Purchase,
be continued substantially as they are
currently being conducted. Purchaser and its affiliates will continue to
evaluate the business and operations of
Mobileye during the pendency of the Offer and after the consummation of the
Post-Offer Reorganization and
may make changes to their plans based on such evaluation. Thereafter,
Purchaser and its affiliates intend to
conduct a comprehensive review of Mobileye's business, operations,
capitalization and management with a view
to optimizing the combination of Mobileye and Intel's Autonomous Driving
Group into a global automated
driving organization. Following consummation of the Post-Offer
Reorganization, Mobileye will be a wholly
owned subsidiary of Purchaser and this combined global automated driving
organization will be headquartered in
Jerusalem and led by Professor Shashua.
55
EFTA01430666
To the best knowledge of Purchaser and Intel, except for certain pre-
existing agreements described in the
Schedule 14D-9, no employment, equity contribution, or other agreement,
arrangement or understanding between
any executive officer or director of Mobileye, on the one hand, and Intel,
Purchaser or Mobileye, on the other
hand, existed as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, and the Offer is not
conditioned upon any executive
officer or director of Mobileye entering into any such agreement,
arrangement or understanding.
It is possible that, in addition to the Employment Agreement Addendum,
certain members of Mobileye's
current management team will enter into new employment arrangements with
Mobileye after the completion of
the Offer and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Such
arrangements may include the
right to purchase or participate in the equity of Intel or its affiliates.
There can be no assurance that any parties
will reach an agreement on any terms, or at all.
13. Certain Effects of the Offer.
Market for the Shares. The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will
reduce the number of Mobileye
shareholders and the number of Shares that might otherwise trade publicly,
which could adversely affect the
liquidity and market value of the remaining Shares. We cannot predict
whether the reduction in the number of
Shares that might otherwise trade publicly would have an adverse or
beneficial effect on the market price for, or
marketability of, the Shares or whether such reduction would cause future
market prices to be greater or less than
the Offer Consideration.
In addition, you should be aware that, after amendment of Mobileye's
articles of association, effective as of
the Offer Closing, pursuant to the Conversion Resolutions proposed to be
approved at the EGM, record
ownership of Mobileye shares can only be transferred pursuant to a notarial
deed executed before a Dutch notary,
which will require compliance by the transferor and transferee of Shares
with various administrative formalities
under Dutch law and will also require shareholders to incur costs for Dutch
notarial fees when they transfer
Mobileye shares. Furthermore, you should be aware that after Amendment No.
2, any share acquired by a
Mobileye shareholder after the date of Amendment No. 2 would not be
transferable prior to March 1, 2019,
unless the Mobileye Board has approved such transfer.
NYSE Listing. Depending upon the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the
Offer, the Shares may no
longer meet the standards for continued listing on the NYSE. According to
the NYSE's published guidelines, the
Shares would not meet the criteria for continued listing on the NYSE if,
EFTA01430667
among other things, the total number of
Mobileye shareholders is not at least 400. If, as a result of the purchase
of the Shares pursuant to the Offer, the
Shares no longer meet these criteria, the listing of Shares on the NYSE
would be discontinued and the market for
the Shares will be adversely affected. Regardless of whether the Shares
continue to meet the criteria for
continued listing on the NYSE, after the Offer Closing, we intend to cause
Mobileye to terminate the listing of
the Shares on the NYSE.
Margin Regulations. The Shares are currently "margin securities" under the
Regulations of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), which
has the effect, among other
things, of allowing brokers to extend credit on the collateral of the
Shares. Depending upon factors similar to
those described above regarding the market for the Shares and listing, it is
possible that, following the Offer, the
Shares would no longer constitute "margin securities" for the purposes of
the margin regulations of the Federal
Reserve Board and, therefore, could no longer be used as collateral for
loans made by brokers.
Exchange Act Registration. The Shares are currently registered under the
Exchange Act. Such registration
may be terminated upon application by Mobileye to the SEC if the Shares are
neither listed on a national
securities exchange nor held by 300 or more holders of record, subject to
fulfilling certain conditions.
Termination of registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act would
substantially reduce the information
required to be furnished by Mobileye to its shareholders and to the SEC and
would make certain provisions of the
Exchange Act no longer applicable to Mobileye. Furthermore, the ability of
"affiliates" of Mobileye and persons
56
EFTA01430668
holding "restricted securities" of Mobileye to dispose of such securities
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act may be impaired or eliminated. If registration of the
Shares under the Exchange Act were
terminated, the Shares would no longer be "margin securities" or be eligible
for listing on the NYSE as described
above. We intend to, and will cause Mobileye to, terminate the registration
of the Shares under the Exchange Act
as promptly as practicable after the Offer Closing and expect to take steps
to cause the suspension of all of
Mobileye's reporting obligations with respect to the Shares under the
Exchange Act. If registration of the Shares
is not terminated prior to the commencement of the Post-Offer
Reorganization, the registration of the Shares
under the Exchange Act will be terminated following the consummation of Post-
Offer Reorganization.
Other measures. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase
Agreement and this Offer to Purchase,
Purchaser reserves the right to request Mobileye to submit proposals for a
vote at the EGM in order to change the
corporate structure and the capital structure of Mobileye and/or achieve an
optimal financial or other structuring,
including amendments to Mobileye's articles of association and changes in
the accounting policies applied in
Mobileye and its subsidiaries, all in accordance with Dutch law and the
articles of association of Mobileye.
14. Dividends and Distributions.
The Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, from
the date thereof to the Offer
Closing or the earlier termination of the Purchase Agreement, without the
prior written consent of Purchaser,
neither Mobileye nor any of its subsidiaries will declare, set aside, make
or pay any dividend or other distribution
(whether in cash, shares or property or any combination thereof), with
respect to any of Mobileye's capital stock,
except for dividends and distributions by a wholly owned subsidiary of
Mobileye to another wholly owned
subsidiary of Mobileye.
15. Certain Conditions of the Offer.
Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or the Purchase Agreement, but
subject to compliance with any
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c)
promulgated under the Exchange Act
relating to Purchaser's obligation to accept and pay for or return tendered
shares of Mobileye after the
termination of the Offer, Purchaser will not be required to accept for
purchase or pay for any Shares unless each
of the following conditions to the Offer has been satisfied or waived (to
the extent such waiver is permitted by
applicable law and the terms of the Purchase Agreement) as of the Expiration
Time in accordance with the
EFTA01430669
Purchase Agreement:
(a) the Minimum Condition;
(b) the Antitrust Clearance Condition;
(c) the Restraints Condition;
(d) (i) each of the representations and warranties of Mobileye relating to
the absence of any fact, change,
event, development, occurrence or effect that would be expected to have a
Company Material Adverse
Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall continue to be true and
correct in all respects as of
the Expiration Time, (ii) each of the representations and warranties of
Mobileye relating to capital
structure shall continue to be true and correct except for de minimis
inaccuracies as of the Expiration
Time, (iii) each of the representations and warranties of Mobileye relating
to corporate existence and
power, corporate authorization, validity of and absence of restrictions on,
and there being no other
Shares, Mobileye's subsidiaries, certain intellectual property contracts,
finders' fees and the opinion of
Mobileye's financial advisor shall continue to be true and correct in all
material respects as of the
Expiration Time, and (iv) each of the other representations and warranties
of Mobileye set forth in the
Purchase Agreement shall continue to be true and correct as of the
Expiration Time, other than for such
failures to be true and correct that would not have or reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in
the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect;
(e) Mobileye has performed or complied with in all material respects the
obligations it is required to
comply with or perform under the Purchase Agreement at or prior to the
Expiration Time;
57
EFTA01430670
(f) the Material Adverse Effect Condition;
(g) certain directors who are being replaced have resigned from the Mobileye
Board in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement;
(h) the Governance Resolutions have been adopted at the EGM or a subsequent
EGM;
(i) Mobileye has delivered to Intel a certificate signed by an authorized
officer of Mobileye dated as of the
date on which the Offer expires certifying that the conditions to the Offer
specified in (d), (e), and (f)
above have been satisfied; and
(j) the Purchase Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its
terms.
The foregoing conditions are in addition to, and not a limitation of, the
rights of Purchaser to extend,
terminate or modify the Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Purchase Agreement. Subject to
the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, Purchaser expressly
reserves the right at any time prior to the
Expiration Time to waive, in whole or in part, any condition to the Offer
and to make any change in the terms of
or conditions to the Offer. However, Purchaser will not, and Intel will
cause Purchaser not to (without the prior
written consent of Mobileye): (a) waive or change the Minimum Condition
(except to the extent contemplated
under the Purchase Agreement); (b) decrease the Offer Consideration; (c)
change the form of consideration to be
paid in the Offer; (d) decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer;
(e) extend or otherwise change the
Expiration Time (except as provided in the Purchase Agreement); or (f)
impose additional conditions to the Offer
or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the conditions to the Offer
or terms of the Offer in a manner
adverse to Mobileye shareholders.
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Intel and Purchaser and
may be asserted by Intel or
Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition
or may be waived (subject to
applicable law) by Intel or Purchaser in its sole discretion, in each case
subject to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. In addition, each
of the foregoing conditions is
independent of any of the other foregoing conditions; the exclusion of any
event from a particular condition does
not mean that such event may not be included in another condition.
Notwithstanding the fact that Intel and
Purchaser reserve the right to assert the existence of any condition to the
Offer, Intel and Purchaser understand
that all conditions to the Offer, other than those dependent upon the
receipt of necessary governmental regulatory
approvals, must be satisfied or waived (subject to applicable law) prior to
EFTA01430671
the Expiration Time.
16. Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.
General. Except as described in this Section 16, based on our examination of
publicly available information
filed by Mobileye with the SEC and other information provided by Mobileye,
we are not aware of any
governmental license or regulatory permit that appears to be material to
Mobileye's business that might be
adversely affected by our acquisition of Shares as contemplated in this
Offer to Purchase or of any approval or
other action by any governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or
agency, domestic or foreign, that
would be required for the acquisition or ownership of Shares by Purchaser as
contemplated in this Offer to
Purchase. Should any such approval or other action be required, we currently
contemplate that such approval or
other action will be sought. While Purchaser does not currently intend to
delay acceptance for payment of Shares
tendered pursuant to the Offer pending the outcome of any such matter, there
can be no assurance that any such
approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained
without substantial conditions or that
if such approvals were not obtained or such other actions were not taken,
adverse consequences might not result
to Mobileye's business, any of which under certain conditions specified in
the Purchase Agreement, could cause
Purchaser to terminate (and Intel to cause Purchaser to terminate) the Offer
without the purchase of Shares
thereunder under certain conditions. See Section 15 —"Certain Conditions of
the Offer."
Compliance with the HSR Act. Under the HSR Act, and the related rules and
regulations that have been
issued by the Federal Trade Commission of the United States (the "FTC"),
certain transactions may not be
consummated until specified information and documentary material ("Premerger
Notification and Report
58
EFTA01430672
Forms") have been furnished to the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice of the United
States (the "Antitrust Division") and certain waiting periods have been
terminated or expired. These
requirements of the HSR Act apply to the acquisition of Shares pursuant to
the Offer and the Purchase
Agreement.
Under the HSR Act, our purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer may not be
completed until the expiration
of a 15 calendar day waiting period following the filing by Purchaser, of
its Premerger Notification and Report
Form concerning the Offer with the FTC and the Antitrust Division, unless
the waiting period is earlier
terminated or extended by the FTC or the Antitrust Division. The required
waiting period with respect to the
Offer and the Purchase Agreement will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City
time, 15 calendar days after filing
(unless the 15th day falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case the 15th
day is extended to the next business
day), unless the waiting period is earlier terminated by the FTC or the
Antitrust Division, unless Purchaser
withdraws its Premerger Notification and Report Form before the expiration
of the initial 15 calendar day waiting
period and refiles it thereafter, and unless the FTC or the Antitrust
Division extends the waiting period by issuing
a request for additional information and documentary material (a "Second
Request") prior to expiry of the initial
waiting period. If within the initial waiting period, Purchaser withdraws
and refiles its Premerger Notification
and Report Form, the HSR Act waiting period will restart and will expire 15
calendar days following the re-filing
of the Premerger Notification and Report Form unless the waiting period is
earlier terminated by the FTC or the
Antitrust Division, and unless the FTC or the Antitrust Division extends the
waiting period by issuing a Second
Request prior to expiry of the initial waiting period. If within the initial
waiting period either the FTC or the
Antitrust Division issues a Second Request, the waiting period with respect
to the Offer and the Purchase
Agreement would be extended until 10 calendar days following the date of
substantial compliance by Purchaser
with that request, unless the FTC or the Antitrust Division terminates the
additional waiting period before its
expiration. After the expiration of the 10 calendar day waiting period
following substantial compliance with the
Second Request by Purchaser, the waiting period could be extended only by
court order or with Purchaser's
consent. In practice, complying with a Second Request can take a significant
period of time. Although Mobileye
is required to file certain information and documentary material with the
FTC and the Antitrust Division in
EFTA01430673
connection with the Offer, neither Mobileye's failure to make those filings
nor a request for additional
documents and information issued to Mobileye from the FTC or the Antitrust
Division will extend the waiting
period with respect to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer and the
Purchase Agreement.
The FTC and the Antitrust Division will scrutinize the legality under the
antitrust laws of Purchaser's
proposed acquisition of Mobileye. At any time before or after Purchaser's
acceptance for payment of Shares
pursuant to the Offer, if the Antitrust Division or the FTC believes that
the Offer would violate the U.S. federal
antitrust laws by substantially lessening competition in any line of
commerce affecting U.S. consumers, the FTC
and the Antitrust Division have the authority to challenge the transaction
by seeking a federal court order
enjoining the transaction or, if shares have already been acquired,
requiring disposition of such Shares, or the
divestiture of substantial assets of Purchaser, Mobileye, or any of their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates or
requiring other conduct relief. United States state attorneys general and
private persons may also bring legal
action under the antitrust laws seeking similar relief or seeking conditions
to the completion of the Offer. While
Intel believes that consummation of the Offer would not violate any
antitrust laws, there can be no assurance that
a challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a
challenge is made, what the result will be. If
any such action is threatened or commenced by the FTC, the Antitrust
Division or any state or any other person,
Purchaser may not be obligated to consummate the Offer if such action would
result in the failure of a condition
of the Offer. See Section 15 —"Certain Conditions of the Offer."
Foreign Competition Law Filings. Mobileye and Purchaser and certain of their
respective subsidiaries
conduct business in several countries outside of the United States. Based on
a review of the information currently
available about the businesses in which Purchaser, Mobileye and their
respective affiliates are engaged,
Purchaser and Mobileye have determined that, at a minimum, filings with the
German Competition Authority,
the Israel Antitrust Authority, and the Korea Fair Trade Commission, and the
other waiting periods promulgated
or the approvals required under the competition laws of Germany, Korea, and
Israel, in each case, to the extent
59
EFTA01430674
applicable, shall have, respectively, expired or been received before the
transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement may close. Descriptions of the filing process for each of
these jurisdictions are provided in
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, Mobileye, Intel and
Purchaser have agreed to promptly (and consistent with market practice) make
all such filings.
Intel and Purchaser are not currently aware of, but are still in the process
of determining whether there are,
any other pre-closing antitrust or competition law filings required in
connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
Going Private Transactions. The SEC has adopted Rule 13e-3 under the
Exchange Act, which is applicable
to certain "going private" transactions, and which may under certain
circumstances be applicable to the PostOffer
Reorganization or other business combination following the purchase of
Shares pursuant to the Offer in
which Purchaser seeks to acquire the remaining Shares not then held by it.
Purchaser believes that Rule 13e-3
under the Exchange Act will not be applicable to the Post-Offer
Reorganization because Purchaser was not, at the
time the Purchase Agreement was executed, and is not, an affiliate of
Mobileye (for purposes of the Exchange
Act); it is anticipated that the Post-Offer Reorganization will be effected
as soon as practicable after the
consummation of the Offer (and in any event within one year following the
consummation of the Offer); and, in
the Post-Offer Reorganization, shareholders will receive the same price per
Share as the Offer Consideration.
17. Appraisal Rights.
Mobileye shareholders are not entitled under Dutch law or otherwise to
appraisal rights with respect to the
Offer. However, in the event that after the Subsequent Offering Period (as
it may be extended by the Minority
Exit Offering Period), Intel or its affiliates hold less than 100% but at
least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital
(geplaatst kapitaal), Purchaser may elect to effectuate, or to cause its
designee to effectuate, the Post-Offer
Reorganization by means of the Compulsory Acquisition proceeding pursuant to
which it will acquire all Shares
held by non-tendering Mobileye shareholders in accordance with Section 2:92a
or Section 2:201a of the DCC. In
the Compulsory Acquisition proceeding, while Intel and Purchaser will use
their reasonable best efforts to cause
the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition to be equal to the
Offer Consideration, the Dutch Court
has sole discretion to determine the per Share price, which may be greater
than, equal to or less than the Offer
Consideration, with such price potentially being increased by Dutch
EFTA01430675
Statutory Interest. The non-tendering
Mobileye shareholders do not have the right to commence a Compulsory
Acquisition proceeding to oblige
Purchaser to buy their Shares.
18. Fees and Expenses.
Purchaser has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to be the Information Agent and
American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, LLC to be the Depositary in connection with the Offer. As
part of the services included in such
retention, the Information Agent may contact Mobileye shareholders by mail,
telephone, telecopy, telegraph,
personal interview, electronic mail, and other methods of electronic
communication and may request brokers,
dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, and other nominees to forward
materials relating to the Offer to
beneficial owners of Shares.
The Information Agent and the Depositary each will receive reasonable and
customary compensation for
their respective services in connection with the Offer, will be reimbursed
for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
and will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses in
connection therewith, including certain
liabilities under federal securities laws.
Except as set forth above, neither Intel nor Purchaser will pay any fees or
commissions to any broker or
dealer or to any other person (other than to the Depositary and the
Information Agent) in connection with the
solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Brokers, dealers,
commercial banks, trust companies, and
other nominees will, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary
mailing and handling expenses
60
EFTA01430676
incurred by them in forwarding offering materials to their customers. In
those jurisdictions where applicable laws
require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer will
be deemed to be made on behalf of
Purchaser by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the
laws of such jurisdiction to be
designated by Purchaser.
19. Miscellaneous.
The Offer is not being made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on
behalf of) Mobileye shareholders in
any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or the acceptance thereof
would not be in compliance with the
securities, blue sky, or other laws of such jurisdiction. However, we may,
in our discretion, take such action as
we deem necessary to make the Offer comply with the laws of any such
jurisdiction and extend the Offer to
Mobileye shareholders in such jurisdiction in compliance with applicable
laws. In those jurisdictions where
applicable laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer,
the Offer will be deemed to be made
on behalf of Purchaser by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed
under the laws of such jurisdiction
to be designated by Purchaser.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of
Intel or Purchaser not contained herein or in the Letter of Transmittal,
and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been
authorized. No broker, dealer, bank,
trust company, fiduciary, or other person will be deemed to be the agent of
Intel, Purchaser, the
Depositary, or the Information Agent for the purpose of the Offer.
Intel and Purchaser have filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO pursuant to
Rule 14d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act,
together with exhibits furnishing
certain additional information with respect to the Offer, and may file
amendments thereto. A copy of such
documents, and any amendments thereto, may be examined at, and copies may be
obtained from, the SEC in the
manner set forth under Section 8 —"Certain Information Concerning Intel and
Purchaser."
Mobileye is required under the rules of the SEC to file its Solicitation/
Recommendation Statement with the
SEC on Schedule 14D-9 no later than 10 business days from the date of this
Offer to Purchase, setting forth the
recommendation of the Mobileye Board with respect to the Offer and the
reasons for such recommendation and
furnishing certain additional related information A copy of such documents,
and any amendments thereto, may,
when filed, be examined at, and copies may be obtained from, the SEC in the
EFTA01430677
manner set forth under Section 7 —
