a wholly owned subsidiary of
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

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

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.

Agreement — Treatment of
Mobileye Equity Awards."

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)

mandatory withholding requirements. Mobileye and Purchaser obtained a ruling
from the ITA that may afford
certain shareholders relief from the Israeli withholding requirements.

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.

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
