Preliminary Prospectus
41,000,000 Shares
[MISSING IMAGE: lg_mobileyetmfrnt-4c.jpg]
Mobileye Global Inc.
Class A Common Stock
This is an initial public offering of shares of our Class A common stock, and no public market currently exists for shares of our Class A common stock.
We expect the initial public offering price will be between $18.00 and $20.00 per share.
We intend to use the net proceeds that we receive from this offering and the concurrent private placement as follows: (i) to retain for working capital and general corporate purposes a portion of the net proceeds in such amount as is necessary so that our parent company Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) (together with its subsidiaries other than us, “Intel”), ensures that, immediately after completion of this offering, we have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities in accordance with the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement (as defined below); and (ii) to use the remainder to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note (as defined below). Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement, so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering.
We have granted the underwriters an option for a period of 30 days after the date of this prospectus to purchase up to an additional 6,150,000 shares of our Class A common stock from us at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
Following this offering, we will have two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be identical, except with respect to voting, transfer, and conversion rights. Each share of our Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote. Each share of our Class B common stock will be entitled to ten votes and will be convertible at any time into one share of our Class A common stock, subject to certain conditions. Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, Intel will be our only beneficial owner. Immediately following the completion of this offering, Intel will beneficially own all of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock representing approximately 99.4% of the voting power of our common stock (or approximately 99.3% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). See “Management — Controlled Company Exemption” and “Description of Capital Stock — Common Stock.”
Baillie Gifford and Norges Bank Investment Management (collectively, the “Cornerstone Investors”) have, severally and not jointly, indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of $330 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price and on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers in this offering. The underwriters will receive the same underwriting discount on any shares of our Class A common stock purchased by the Cornerstone Investors as they will from any other shares of Class A common stock sold to the public in this offering. In addition, Professor Amnon Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price. Because these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the Cornerstone Investors and/or Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to any of the Cornerstone Investors or Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering.
Investment entities affiliated with General Atlantic, L.P. (collectively, “General Atlantic”) have agreed to purchase $100 million of shares of our Class A common stock at a price per share equal to the initial public offering price per share in a concurrent private placement. The sale of such shares will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The concurrent private placement is expected to close immediately following the closing of this offering and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the completion of this offering. The closing of this offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the concurrent private placement.
We have applied to list the shares of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “MBLY”.
Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 to read about certain factors you should consider before buying our common stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Company Overview
Mobileye is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. We pioneered ADAS technology more than 20 years ago and have continuously expanded the scope of our ADAS offerings, while leading the evolution to autonomous driving solutions.
Our portfolio of solutions is built upon a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies designed to provide the capabilities needed to make the future of ADAS and autonomous driving a reality. These technologies can be harnessed to deliver mission-critical capabilities at the edge and in the cloud, advancing the safety of road users, and revolutionizing the driving experience and the movement of people and goods globally.
While today ADAS is central to the advancement of automotive safety, we believe that the future of mobility is autonomous. However, mass adoption of autonomous vehicles is still nascent. Full autonomy — where a human is not actively engaged in driving the vehicle for extended periods of time — requires the autonomous driving solution to be capable of navigating any environment in any condition at any time. Additionally, developing a technology platform whose decision-making process and resulting actions are verifiable is critical to enabling autonomous driving solutions at scale. The ability to drive autonomously not only requires a substantial amount of data, but also a robust technology platform that can withstand the validation and audit process of global regulatory bodies. Finally, the autonomous driving solution needs to be produced at a cost that makes it affordable. We are building our technology platform to address these fundamental and significant challenges in order to enable the full spectrum of solutions, from ADAS to autonomous driving.
We believe that our industry-leading technology platform, built upon over 20 years of research, development, data collection and validation, and purpose-built software and hardware design, gives us a differentiated ability to not only deliver excellent safety ratings and maintain a leadership position with our ADAS solutions, but also to make the mass deployment of autonomous driving solutions a reality. We also believe that the breadth of our solutions, combined with our global customer base, represents a significant market opportunity for us. Our platform is modular by design, and it is highly customizable, which allows our customers to benefit from our cutting-edge, verified, and validated core ADAS capabilities, while enabling our customers to augment and differentiate their offerings. We estimate the current total addressable market (“TAM”) to be approximately $16 billion, composed entirely of selected ADAS market opportunities. We expect the near-term TAM to be approximately $40 billion and the long-term TAM to be approximately $480 billion, as the value of ADAS functionality increases and as Autonomous Vehicle (“AV”) deployment, both in consumer-owned vehicles and fleet-owned vehicle networks, accelerates. We define the near-term TAM as the market size in or about 2026 and the long-term TAM as the market size in or about 2030. The TAM combines market opportunities in ADAS and AV, including Autonomous Mobility as a Service (“AMaaS”).
We have experienced significant growth since our founding. For 2021, 2020, and 2019, our revenue was $1.4 billion, $967 million, and $879 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 43% in 2021. For the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, our revenue was $854 million and $704 million, respectively, representing period-over-period growth of 21%. We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from our commercially deployed ADAS solutions. We recorded net losses of $75 million, $196 million, and $328 million in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We recorded a net loss of $67 million and net income of $4 million in the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively. Our Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $474 million, $289 million, and
 
1

 
$51 million, respectively. Our Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021 was $276 million and $270 million, respectively.
As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, the six months ended July 2, 2022 contains an additional week as a result of 2022 being a 53-week fiscal year while 2021, 2020, and 2019 are 52-week fiscal years. However, the inclusion of the additional week does not have a material impact on our revenue and cost of revenue as the timing of deliveries to customers is not consistent from week-to-week. Further, most of our expenses (such as payroll) are incurred on a monthly basis and, as such, the accrual for the additional week does not materially impact our results of operations.
As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our System-on-Chips (“SoCs”) had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins. These estimates are based on projections of future production volumes that were provided by the OEMs at the time of sourcing our design wins with them for the models related to those design wins. These estimates may deviate from actual production volume (which may be higher or lower than the estimates) and do not include design wins after October 1, 2022.
We were founded in Israel in 1999. Our co-founder, Professor Amnon Shashua, is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to being acquired by Intel for $15.3 billion in 2017, we completed an initial public offering in 2014 and traded under the symbol “MBLY” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Our Technology Platform is Built to Enable the Full-Stack of Autonomous Solutions
Our technology platform, which includes our software and hardware intellectual property, leverages our decades of experience as a technology leader for sensing and perception solutions for the automotive industry and our focused efforts to build highly scalable and cost-efficient autonomous solutions. Our technologies are foundational to the development and deployment of our ADAS capabilities and consumer AV. Our platform is built on five fundamental pillars:

highly advanced, road-tested, sensing and perception technologies built upon years of technology leadership in computer vision and powered by our mission critical software and purpose-built EyeQ® family of SoCs;

a high-precision mapping system, our Road Experience Management™ (“REM™”), that generates AV maps from crowd-sourced data that is uploaded and analyzed in the cloud from REM™-equipped production ADAS solutions that are deployed on vehicles on the road;

a redundant sensor fusion architecture, which we call True Redundancy™, designed to employ two independent perception subsystems — one based solely on cameras, and the other solely on a radar-light detection and ranging (“lidar”) subsystem, to enable our goal of building a fully autonomous driving-system that can be validated as safer than human-driven vehicles and deployed in a cost-efficient manner;

the design of next generation imaging-radars, a solution targeted to reduce the need for multiple lidar sensors, combined with a single front-facing lidar sensor in the redundant sensor configuration of the future, to enable our goal of building a cost-effective fully autonomous driving-system; and

our Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (“RSS”) framework, which has continuously been optimized since it was first published in 2017, is used by international bodies that are currently developing standards with respect to the safety of AV, and forms the backbone of our human-like, computationally efficient, driving policy and decision-making engine.
 
2

 
These five pillars form the core of our platform, which is highly customizable, and we intend to deploy them with increasing functionality to continue to enhance our market-leading ADAS solutions and lead the evolution to autonomous driving solutions.
Efficiency and Scale are the Foundation of our Rich Portfolio of Solutions
We are focused on offering full-stack solutions across the ADAS and autonomous driving markets. These include or are expected to include:

a range of ADAS solutions supporting not only “base” features to meet global regulatory requirements and safety ratings, but also higher-function cloud-enhanced feature sets including crowd-sourced maps and “eyes-on/hands-free” point-to-point assisted driving solutions;

“eyes-off/hands-free” autonomous driving solutions with a human driver still in the driver’s seat that may require driver intervention in certain situations for consumer AV with the ability to drive safely without geofenced limitations; and

a set of solutions for AMaaS, including a self-driving system, the self-driving vehicles delivered in partnership with OEMs, and a customer-facing application for the movement of people and goods.
We believe we can reach series production for each of these technologies in the future, as each is accomplished by adding a block of our discrete intellectual property that is either in production today or in advanced development stages. We believe that our range of value-creating solutions that are scalable, verifiable, and cost-effective represent a significant competitive advantage.
Efficiency
Our purpose-built EyeQ® family of SoCs have a low power consumption profile and tight software/hardware coupling to achieve “lean compute” for efficiency. The principle of efficiency permeates the overall solution design, including our True RedundancyTM approach, with separate subsystems to increase robustness and reduce the compute resources required to validate the solution, and RSS, which separates the perception system’s validation from the driving policy system. Both of these are critical contributors to achieving efficient solutions.
Scale
We achieve scale by designing our solutions to operate at a cost and performance level that allows our solutions to become ubiquitous. We have designed our solutions to operate with four scale-driven elements:

our REM™ crowd-sourced AV maps allow the map-building and map-updating process to be automated. Our AV maps are designed to enable vehicles equipped with our new category of cloud-enhanced ADAS that we call “Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist” and autonomous driving solutions to drive without the limitations of pre-mapped geofenced zones. These AV maps will support our efforts to deploy in new cities and geographies quickly;

our cost-optimized EyeQ® SoC family is highly scalable and built to be at the core of our full spectrum of current and future ADAS and AV solutions, from base ADAS to autonomous driving. Our current EyeQ®4Mid, 4High, 5Mid, 5High, and our announced 6Lite, and 6High, cover the entire spectrum of our ADAS solutions portfolio, and our announced EyeQ Ultra™, a monolithic “AV-on-Chip”, covers our autonomous driving solutions portfolio;

our software-defined imaging radars and associated perception technology are designed to function as a second redundant perception layer. By reducing the lidar content per vehicle, we believe we will be able to reduce costs significantly, and facilitate consumer AV and AMaaS solutions at scale; and

our driving policy (RSS-based) is designed for global deployment, as it does not rely on local or regional driving cultural norms. In 2021, we announced the expected initial commercial deployment of our AMaaS offering in Munich and Tel Aviv together with Moovit in addition to our current testing sites in China, Israel, Detroit, Miami, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Tokyo.

We Have a History of Innovation and Market Leadership
As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins.
We currently ship a variety of ADAS solutions to 13 of the 15 largest automakers in the world in addition to many smaller OEMs, and we are recognized for our top-rated safety solutions globally.
Since 2007, when we first launched the EyeQ®1, we have introduced numerous industry-first ADAS products.
Our Family of Purpose-Built EyeQ® SoCs
Our family of purpose-built EyeQ® SoCs is fundamental to our leadership position in ADAS. Our EyeQ® SoCs incorporate a set of proprietary compute-acceleration models, to enhance the accuracy, quality, and functional safety of our perception solutions, while minimizing the power consumption to address the requirements of the automotive market. The EyeQ® family design enables a scalable Electronic Control Unit (“ECU”) architecture, thereby supporting a variety of ADAS solution architectures. Our EyeQ®5 SoCs and subsequent generations feature EyeQ Kit™ — an end-to-end software-development kit (“SDK”) intended to enable the co-hosting of our partners’ and customers’ workloads alongside our cutting-edge artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies. Importantly, we believe EyeQ Kit™ accelerates time to market for our customers at a lower cost than alternative in-house solutions, while strengthening our partnerships by encouraging our customers to customize their offerings on top of our platform.
Road Experience Management™
REM™ is a cloud-based system that leverages the broad installed-base of REM™-equipped vehicles to build Mobileye Roadbook™, our crowd-sourced, high-definition maps of roads from around the world.
By augmenting our base ADAS with REM™ and Mobileye Roadbook™, we have pioneered the new ADAS category of cloud-enhanced ADAS, which we call Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist.
Our Roadmap to Enable Mass AV Deployment
We believe autonomous driving requires two further major advancements, each of which we are developing, and includes a regulatory framework for deploying AV at scale and a unique sensor fusion architecture, which enhances the effectiveness of the self-driving system.
RSS: Our Technology Safety Concept for Deploying AV at Scale
RSS is a formal, explicit, machine interpretable model governing the safety of our autonomous driving solutions’ driving policy. RSS articulates a set of plausible-worst-case assumptions regarding the behavior of other road-users, thereby enabling assertive, human-like driving while rigorously respecting the boundary between safe driving decisions and dangerous, risk-inducing ones.
True Redundancy™: Our Unique Sensor Fusion Architecture
Our unique architecture design, called True Redundancy™, further enhances the robustness and safety of our self-driving system. Rather than fusing all different sensor modalities prior to creating an “environment
 
4

 
model” of the world, we are developing two independent perception subsystems. One subsystem is powered solely by cameras and the other is powered by active sensors (radars and lidars).
A byproduct of our True Redundancy™ architecture is enabling subsystems of our AV development to “scale down” to ADAS, thus creating a seamless and scalable solution portfolio from ADAS to autonomous driving. For example, our Premium Driver Assist offering, Mobileye SuperVision™, launched by Geely Group for its ZEEKR premium electric vehicle brand, is a productization of the camera-only subsystem of our autonomous driving development, offering fully operational point-to-point assisted driving navigation.
We are designing a first-of-its-kind “software-defined” imaging radar with a dynamic range and resolution backed by advanced processing algorithms to enable an independent “sensing state.” We believe our custom designed imaging radars will allow us to eliminate the need for multiple high-cost lidars around the vehicle and require only a single front-facing lidar, thereby significantly lowering the overall cost of the required sensors compared to other solutions that use lidar-centric or lidar-only systems.
In January 2022, we announced a design win of our consumer AV system, Mobileye Chauffeur™, with ZEEKR. Consumer AV ranges from very limited operational design domain (e.g., low-speed, highway-only “traffic jam pilot” systems) to the much more expansive operational design domain that we are pursuing through our Mobileye Chauffeur™ solution. Mobileye Chauffeur™ is expected to be capable of “eyes-off/hands-free” driving with a human driver still in the driver’s seat, in a gradually expanding operational driving domain, and is expected to use surrounding imaging radars and front-facing lidar but may require driver intervention in certain situations.
Building upon Mobileye Chauffeur™, which targets the consumer-owned AV market, we are developing Mobileye Drive™, our Level 4 self-driving system targeted for fleet-owned AMaaS and goods delivery networks. We believe we are well positioned to commercialize these opportunities and that our scale, cost, and regulatory validation advantages will become evident to the broader market and lead to significant additional opportunities to grow these services globally.
The Autonomous Vehicle Revolution
We believe that the availability of AVs will cause a significant transformation in mobility, including vehicle ownership and utilization. We expect that AV technology will eventually be accessed by consumers through shared-vehicle AMaaS networks, as well as in consumer-owned and operated AVs. It is our view that, to reach the full potential of autonomous driving over the long-term, the technology solutions that enable these separate markets should converge over time, and that is reflected in our strategy.
Autonomous driving has the potential to dramatically increase the proliferation of shared mobility, creating greater utilization of what is currently a significantly underutilized asset: the car. We believe that this model will ultimately manifest itself in the form of networks operated by a variety of different automotive and technology companies where the consumer will be able to hail on-demand transportation at the click of a button, instead of owning a vehicle. As autonomous driving technology advances, a number of new transportation use cases are expected to emerge around the type of vehicle ownership, what is transported, and where and when the vehicle can operate.
Challenges to Making Autonomous Vehicles Ubiquitous
To make autonomous vehicles at scale a reality, we believe that there are three core challenges that must be addressed:

Regulatory Endorsement — Autonomous driving solutions must be architected, by design, to be verifiably safe, in a manner that fosters broad societal and regulatory endorsement.

Geographic Scale — Geographic scale refers to the challenge of creating high-definition maps with great detail and accuracy, and keeping those maps continuously updated, which is crucial for series production AVs.

Cost — In order for autonomous driving consumer vehicles to scale in volume, we believe the cost of the self-driving system needs to be reduced significantly, such as to several thousands of dollars, an order of magnitude lower than the cost of market solutions to date.

Our Solutions
We are building a robust portfolio of end-to-end ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to provide the capabilities needed for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies. We pioneered “base” ADAS features to meet global regulatory requirements and safety ratings with our Driver Assist solution and we have since created a new category of ADAS with our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist and Premium Driver Assist offerings. Additionally, by leveraging Mobileye SuperVision’s™ full-surround computer vision and True Redundancy™, we are developing Mobileye Chauffeur™, our consumer AV solution with a human driver still in the driver’s seat that may require driver intervention in certain situations, and Mobileye Drive™, our Level 4 autonomous driving solution. Together with Moovit’s urban mobility and transit application and its global user base, we are developing our own AMaaS offering for consumers built upon Mobileye Drive™. Our current offerings to Tier 1 and OEM customers do not include cameras, radars, lidar systems, or other sensors (except in particular cases). We intend in the future to offer radar and lidar products that are currently in development stages.

Driver Assist.   Base Driver Assist functions are foundational to our spectrum of ADAS and AV solutions and include critical safety features such as real-time detection of road users, geometry, semantics, and markings to provide safety alerts and emergency interventions.

Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist.   Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist provides drivers with high-accuracy interpretations of a scene in real-time utilizing centimeter-level drivable path accuracy, foresight of the path ahead, and other semantic information provided by our crowdsourced REM™ mapping system.

Mobileye SuperVision™ Lite.   A new Premium Driver Assist offering which will provide eyes-on/hands-free highway navigation and assisted driving as well as autonomous parking utilizing cloud-based enhancements such as REM™ and supporting over-the-air (“OTA”) updates.

Mobileye SuperVision™.   Mobileye SuperVision™, our highest-functioning Premium Driver Assist offering, is a fully operational point-to-point assisted driving navigation solution on various road types and includes cloud-based enhancements such as REM™ and supports OTA updates.

Mobileye Chauffeur™.   Mobileye Chauffeur’s™ first generation solution will be based on six EyeQ®5 High SoCs, and the next generation will be powered by three EyeQ®6 High SoCs or one EyeQ Ultra™, our AV-on-Chip. It will combine our leading computer vision camera-based perception subsystem with a radar-lidar subsystem. Mobileye Chauffeur™ will provide 360-degrees of coverage through two independent and redundant sensing subsystems offering True Redundancy™ to reduce the validation burden and, along with REM™ AV maps and RSS, to increase scalability and safety.

Mobileye Drive™.   Mobileye Drive™, our Level 4 solution, will encompass our core autonomous driving technologies found in Mobileye Chauffeur™ and will deliver the driving functions without the need for any in-vehicle human intervention by adding teleoperability and by minimizing cases where human input would be required.
Mobileye Drive™ may be offered across two increasingly vertically integrated product sets, each underpinned by our full set of autonomous driving technology solutions:

Self-Driving System & Vehicles.   We expect to sell our Mobileye Drive™ Level 4 self-driving system through business-to-business channels into a range of transportation network operators and vehicle OEMs, which would operate a variety of services (e.g., consumer-facing AMaaS, transportation on demand, and the delivery of goods).

AMaaS.   Additionally, Mobileye Drive™ will be designed to interface with Moovit’s mobility-as-a-service (“MaaS”) platform, which adds a service layer and a ready-made user base. Moovit's global user base will provide a ready consumer base for our business-to-business customers. It also will provide the necessary service and user-base layer within our own AMaaS solution where we plan to deploy Mobileye-Drive-enabled self-driving vehicles in partnership with fleet operators.

Overall, we believe our proprietary set of software and hardware technology solutions results in significant competitive advantages and a wider range of potential offerings compared to other approaches by industry participants attempting to commercialize network-deployed autonomous vehicles.
Our Data Driven Network Effect
We have assembled a substantial dataset of real-world driving experience, encompassing over 200 petabytes of data, which includes over 23 million clips collected over decades of driving on urban, highway, and arterial roads in over 80 countries. This data, plus proprietary search tools, enables us to develop and continuously improve our advanced computer vision algorithms to fit road scenarios and use cases that our system encounters. We utilize up to approximately 500,000 cloud CPU cores to process approximately 100 petabytes of data every month. We have developed sophisticated 2D and 3D automatic-labeling methodologies that, together with a team of over 2,300 external specialized annotators, allow for fast development cycles for our computer vision engines based on the dataset we have. In addition, our advanced data labeling infrastructure and data mining tools can unlock significant data-driven insights.
Additionally, we have created a separate dataset of 8.6 billion miles of roads driven as of July 2, 2022 from, based on our estimates, approximately 1.5 million REM™-enabled vehicles worldwide. We then apply a series of on-cloud algorithms to build this crowd-sourced data into a high-definition, rapidly updating map that contains a rich variety of information, including road geometry, drivable paths, common speeds, right-of-way, and traffic light-to-lane associations. We estimate that the data we have accumulated covers over 90% and 80% of the approximately 0.8 million miles of motorway, trunk, and primary road types in each of the United States and Europe, respectively. This data enables us to create robust high definition maps to support solutions across the product spectrum from cloud-enhanced ADAS to Mobileye SuperVision Lite and Mobileye SuperVision to Mobileye Drive and Mobileye Chauffeur.
These two datasets create powerful network effects as we seek to continually improve our solutions as more vehicles are deployed with our technology.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that our leadership in ADAS and autonomous driving is based primarily on our: (1) first-mover advantage; (2) technology, including differentiated technological cores and solution architectures; (3) comprehensive portfolio of solutions; (4) delivery, including agility, response times, and time-to-market; and (5) inherent cost-driven advantages. These significant advantages form the basis for our competitive strengths as follows:

Coupling of software and hardware delivers optimized performance and efficiency — We design our own purpose-built SoCs and develop a software stack to optimally match the architecture of the SoCs with the computational workloads required by the software stack. Our approach results in low power consumption and lean compute, yet is able to support a very powerful range of solutions for the ADAS and AV markets.

Scalable EyeQ® SoC design addresses the entire spectrum of ADAS and autonomous driving — Our EyeQ® architecture is highly scalable, powers our solutions, ranging from our base ADAS to highly advanced autonomous driving solutions and is designed to support the increasingly computationally intensive demands of ADAS and autonomous driving solutions on the same architecture.

EyeQ Kit™ for developing and deploying differentiated features on top of EyeQ® SoC — Our platform is modular by design, and it is highly customizable, which allows our customers to benefit from our cutting-edge, verified, and validated core ADAS capabilities while enabling our customers to augment and differentiate their offerings. We believe EyeQ Kit™ accelerates time to market for our customers at a lower cost than alternative in-house solutions while strengthening our partnerships by encouraging our customers to customize their offerings on top of our platform.

Industry leading computer vision capabilities — We are a technology leader for computer vision solutions for ADAS, and we have continuously enhanced our leadership position since we launched with customers in 2007 through our ability to meet the extreme performance, accuracy, and cost metrics of our OEM customers.

“Scale by design” approach — Our technology platform is built to deliver autonomous driving solutions at scale by leveraging our REM™ mapping technology, our True Redundancy™ approach, our RSS and driving policy, and our active sensor architecture based on our imaging radars.

Autonomous driving-ADAS synergies The autonomous driving-ADAS interplay is bi-directional: advanced technologies transfer from autonomous driving to ADAS and significantly enhance our market proposition, and in turn, these advanced autonomous driving technologies are validated in commercial, mass market ADAS deployments and contribute to the process of verifying and validating the various elements of our autonomous driving solution stack.

Road Experience Management creates a powerful network effect and long-term competitive advantage — Our REM™ system is a crucial ingredient that we believe allows for: (1) defining a new category of cloud-enhanced ADAS that we call Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist; (2) evolving ADAS to an “eyes-on/hands-free” point-to-point assisted driving navigation; and (3) the scale deployment of AV. REM™ benefits from a powerful network effect, where more vehicles with REM™ enabled technology from which we are able to collect and process data, not only improves our own solutions, but also delivers benefits to our customers and to consumers through greater safety and expanded functionality. We believe this network effect creates a powerful competitive advantage, particularly given our leadership position in ADAS, as we are able to efficiently collect large amounts of data from our consumer solutions already deployed on roads globally through their regular use.

Data and technology advantage — We have assembled a substantial dataset of real-world driving experience, encompassing over 200 petabytes of data, which includes over 23 million clips collected over decades of driving on urban, highway, and arterial roads in over 80 countries. We utilize up to approximately 500,000 cloud CPU cores to process approximately 100 petabytes of data every month, which we believe demonstrates the size and scale of our data repository. Our dataset creates a powerful network effect as we seek to continually improve our solutions as more vehicles are deployed with our technology.

RSS and driving policy are designed for global deployment — RSS is the key enabler of our “lean compute” driving policy design, where we distinctly separate driving comfort features from safety-related inhibitions and adjustments. Our RSS-based driving policy is designed for global deployment, as it does not need to be tailored to specific driving cultures.

Purpose-built imaging-radar unlocks consumer AV at scale — We are developing software-defined imaging-radar with cutting-edge dynamic range and resolution. Our differentiated True Redundancy™ architecture will leverage our imaging-radar, which we believe will give us the ability to significantly reduce the cost of the overall sensor suite by replacing multiple, expensive lidars around the vehicle with only a single front-facing lidar sensor, which we believe will support consumer AV production at scale.

Moovit provides a stand-ready user base for our AMaaS solutions — Moovit is our urban mobility and transit application. As of July 2, 2022, Moovit had over 1.5 billion users globally and service in over 3,500 cities across 112 countries, and was generating approximately six billion anonymous data points daily, tracking mobility demand patterns globally, enabling a key mobility intelligence layer that can be used to intelligently predict ride demand and thus help to optimize fleet utilization.

Deep, collaborative ecosystem relationships Our deep global relationships with key partners across the value chain, from component suppliers, through Tier 1 customers and up to OEMs, offer us a broad and diverse set of collaboration opportunities for high-performance computing, networking, and advanced packaging technologies, among others, from the vehicle to the cloud.
Our Growth Strategies

In the future, we plan to create revenue streams from our OTA capabilities and AV maps through solution upgrades.

Further enhance our Premium Driver Assist solutions — Our Mobileye SuperVision™ and SuperVision™ Lite solutions represent comprehensive “eyes-on/hands-free” ADAS solutions that can be supplemented by OEMs through the use of our EyeQ Kit™ platform to customize their offerings on top of our platform. We believe that the high value-add, our continuous efforts to add capabilities, as well as the competitive price point of Mobileye SuperVision™ will allow it to gain strong market traction in the coming years.

Innovate and commercialize our next-generation autonomous driving solutions — Propelled by our next generation AV-on-Chip SoC, which we call EyeQ Ultra™, our surround computer vision Mobileye SuperVision™ solution, and our True Redundancy™ architecture, we believe that we will be positioned to deliver an autonomous driving solution that can enable the mass adoption of AV. We believe our premium ADAS capabilities with our Mobileye SuperVision™ solution and Level 4 capabilities with Mobileye Drive™ will help us provide our customers with innovative solutions and enable further growth for us.

Utilize our flexible platform to expand our collaboration with our OEM customers — We have designed our EyeQ® SoCs together with an EyeQ Kit™ to enable co-hosting of third-party software and customer workloads on vehicles equipped with our solutions. We plan to continue to develop our platform to offer our customers the ability to seamlessly address the capabilities and features that they demand by customizing their offerings on top of our platform. We are partnering with leading technology suppliers to expand our products by offering features and services alongside our core technology platform.

Capitalize on our active sensor technology — We intend to continue to develop and commercialize next-generation active sensors such as software-defined imaging radars, which leverage our AI capabilities. Together with Intel, we also are currently in the early stages of development of frequency-modulated continuous wave (“FMCW”) lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite.

Accelerate our roadmap of next generation proprietary EyeQ® SoCs — Our EyeQ® SoCs are purpose-built for sensing and perception technologies and optimized for high throughput and power efficiency. Our architecture is highly scalable and is designed to support the increasing and computationally intensive demands of both the continued evolution of ADAS and future autonomous driving applications. We intend to continue to accelerate our technology leadership with a focus on silicon, packaging, and systems level needs to deliver cost-efficient processing at the edge.

Utilize our substantial and growing dataset to continuously improve the intelligence and robustness of our solutions — We will continue to grow the depth and breadth of our substantial dataset, which, as of July 2, 2022, encompassed over 200 petabytes of data and 8.6 billion miles of AV mapped roads from, based on our estimates, approximately 1.5 million REM™-enabled vehicles worldwide. We believe that our ability to use this data to create, maintain, and improve our high-precision AV maps through our REM™ mapping system will enable us to further improve our ADAS offerings and position us well for autonomous driving.

Establish our Level 4 autonomous and AMaaS solutions — We believe that Mobileye Chauffeur™ and Mobileye Drive™ will unlock new use cases and end-consumers for our OEM and fleet-owner customers, which will be applicable for both the AMaaS and consumer AV markets. We expect to add additional cities to our AMaaS offerings to showcase our industry-leading technology and to help accelerate the pace of AV adoption.

Benefit from opportunities in large emerging markets — We intend to continue to invest in partnerships in China and India, among other emerging markets, to accelerate ADAS and autonomous driving adoption. We believe our long-term partnerships with large Chinese OEMs such as Geely, Great Wall Motors, and SAIC, and Indian OEMs such as Mahindra & Mahindra position our solutions at the forefront of continued innovation and market growth.

amortization of acquisition related intangibles and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by total revenue.

We define Adjusted Operating Income as operating loss presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and expenses related to this offering. Operating margin is calculated as operating loss divided by total revenue, and Adjusted Operating Margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income divided by total revenue. For additional information about our non-GAAP measures, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
We estimate revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2022 to be $450 million, up by $124 million, or 38%, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021, driven by an increase of $87 million in sales of EyeQ® SoC and an increase of $37 million in sales of Mobileye SuperVision™, which was launched during the fourth quarter of 2021 and for which no revenue was generated in the three months ended September 25, 2021.
We estimate our gross profit for the three months ended October 1, 2022 to increase by $62 million to $64 million as compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to our increase in revenue. We estimate our gross margin to increase to 48% during the three months ended October 1, 2022 from 47% during the three months ended September 25, 2021, mainly due to the lower impact of the cost attributable to amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of revenues. This was partially offset by the impact of SuperVision™ sales contributing lower margin given the greater hardware content this product contains. The rise in the cost of our EyeQ® SoCs due to the global semiconductor shortage and inflationary pressures also had a downward impact on our gross margin, but to a lesser extent than the foregoing because we entered 2022 with an opening balance of EyeQ® SoC inventory that we previously acquired at lower-than-current prices and passed on some of the increased costs of EyeQ® SoCs acquired at current prices to our customers.
We estimate our operating loss for the three months ended October 1, 2022 to increase by $5 million to $9 million as compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021, due to an increase in research and development expenses and an increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets and share-based compensation expense, partially offset by revenue growth.

Risk Factor Summary
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that you should understand before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors” following this prospectus summary. These include:

If we are unable to develop and introduce new solutions and improve existing solutions in a cost-effective and timely manner, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and development efforts are unsuccessful, our competitive position would be negatively impacted and our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We operate in a highly competitive market.

We have experienced and are continuing to experience constraints in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs as the result of the global semiconductor shortage, and future shortages in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs or other critical parts would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We face additional supply chain risks and risks of interruption of requisite services, including, as a result of our reliance on a single supplier or limited suppliers and vendors, for certain components, equipment, and services.

Increases in costs of the materials and other components that we use in our solutions would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our business may suffer from claims relating to, among other things, actual or alleged defects in our solutions, or if our solutions actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected, and publicity related to these claims could harm our reputation and decrease demand for our solutions or increase regulatory scrutiny of our solutions.

We invest significant effort and money seeking OEM selection of our solutions, and there can be no assurance that these efforts will result in the selection of our solutions for use in production models. If we fail to achieve a design win after incurring substantial expenditures in these efforts, our future business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
 
16

 

There is no guarantee that our customers will purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price even after we achieve design wins, and there may be significant delays between the time we achieve a design win until we realize revenue from the vehicle model.

We depend on a limited number of Tier 1 customers and OEMs for a substantial portion of our revenue, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in sales to, one or more of our major Tier 1 customers and/or the discontinued incorporation of our solutions by one or more major OEMs in their vehicle models would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are highly dependent on the services of Professor Amnon Shashua, our President and Chief Executive Officer.

If we are unable to attract, retain, and motivate key employees, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We face integration risks and costs associated with companies, assets, employees, products, and technologies that we have or that we may acquire, including with our acquisition of Moovit.

Interruptions to our information technology systems and networks and cybersecurity incidents could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Security breaches and other disruptions of our in-vehicle systems and related data could impact the safety of our end users and reduce confidence in us and our solutions.

The current uncertain economic environment and inflationary conditions may adversely affect global vehicle production and demand for our solutions.

If OEMs are unable to maintain and increase consumer acceptance of ADAS and autonomous driving technology, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We operate in an industry that is new and rapidly evolving, and market opportunity estimates and market growth forecasts included in this prospectus are subject to significant uncertainty.

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in automotive safety regulations or concerns that could increase our costs or delay or halt adoption of our solutions.

The dual class structure of our common stock will have the effect of concentrating voting control with Intel, and Intel will beneficially own shares of our Class B common stock, representing a majority of the shares of our common stock and approximately 99.4% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock immediately following this offering. This will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters.

We may have conflicts of interest with Intel, and because of (i) certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to related person transactions and corporate opportunities, (ii) agreements we have and will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, and (iii) Intel’s controlling beneficial ownership interest in our company, we may not be able to resolve such conflicts on terms favorable to us.

Indications of interest
The Cornerstone Investors have, severally and not jointly, indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of $330 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price and on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers in this offering. The underwriters will receive the same underwriting discount on any shares of our Class A common stock purchased by the Cornerstone Investors as they will from any other shares of Class A common stock sold to the public in this offering, and any such shares would not be subject to a lock-up. In addition, Professor Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price, and any such shares would be subject to a lock-up agreement with the underwriters. See “Underwriting” for a description of the lock-up agreements applicable to our shares. Because these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the Cornerstone Investors and/or Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to any of the Cornerstone Investors or Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering.
Risk Factors
See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our Class A common stock.

SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Set forth below are summary historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The summary historical combined financial information includes costs of our business, which include the allocation of certain expenses from Intel. We believe these allocations were made on a reasonable basis. The summary historical combined balance sheet information as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, and the summary historical combined statements of operations information for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019 have been derived from the historical combined financial statements of Mobileye Group (as such term is described in our combined financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus) and included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021 and the condensed combined balance sheet data as of July 2, 2022, have been derived from our unaudited condensed combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited condensed combined financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited combined financial statements and have included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth in those statements. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the information contained in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
The summary historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be indicative of our future performance as a stand-alone public company. You should read the summary financial information presented below in conjunction with the information included under the headings “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical combined financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Under the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement we will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, immediately after completion of this offering and on a pro forma basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness by us to Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), Intel agrees to ensure that we will have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities. Any excess net proceeds from this offering will be used to repay indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note. Accordingly, an increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price per share would not increase or decrease our cash and cash equivalents, total assets or total equity (whether or not the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). Similarly, an increase or decrease in the number of shares of our Class A common stock offered by us would not increase or decrease our cash and cash equivalents, total assets or total equity.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with other information set forth in this prospectus before investing in our Class A common stock. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations, and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment. The risks discussed below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks or uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations, or cash flows. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur.
Risks Related to Our Business
If we are unable to develop and introduce new solutions and improve existing solutions in a cost-effective and timely manner, then our competitive position would be negatively impacted and our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Our business, results of operations, and financial condition depend on our ability to complete development of our existing ADAS and autonomous driving programs and to develop and introduce new and enhanced solutions that incorporate and integrate the latest technological advancements in sensing and perception technologies, software and hardware, and camera, radar, lidar, mapping, and AI technologies to satisfy evolving customer, regulatory, and safety rating requirements. For example, we will need to complete the development and achieve cost efficient production at scale of new generations of our EyeQ® SoCs and our software-defined radar, and source lidar cost effectively, which could include the development of our FMCW lidar, all of which are important components of our planned approach to address the AMaaS and consumer AV markets. This prospectus contains descriptions of our current expectations regarding the years by which we expect to obtain engineering samples, commence production, or release our anticipated future solutions. These time periods are subject to significant uncertainty. We may encounter significant unexpected technical and production challenges, or delays in completing the development of these and other solutions and ramping production in a cost-efficient manner. The development of these and other new and enhanced solutions requires us to invest resources in research and development and also requires that we:

design innovative, accurate, and safety- and comfort-enhancing functions that differentiate our solutions from those of our competitors;

continuously improve the reliability of, and reduce and ultimately remove the requirement for human intervention with, our autonomous driving technology;

cooperate effectively on new designs and development with our customers, suppliers and partners;

respond effectively to technological changes and product announcements by our competitors; and

adjust to changing customer requirements, market conditions, and regulatory and rating standards quickly and cost-effectively.
If there are delays in, or if we fail to complete when expected or at all, our existing and new development programs, we may not be able to satisfy our customers’ requirements, achieve additional design wins with existing or new customers, or achieve broader market acceptance of our solutions, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. In addition, the price of our solutions depends on the bundle included in the specific product. Our solutions have different margin profiles. As we develop, bundle, and sell full systems that include third-party hardware beyond EyeQ®, we expect that our gross margin will decrease on a percentage basis because of the greater third-party hardware content.
We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and development efforts are unsuccessful, our competitive position would be negatively impacted and our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
To compete successfully, we must maintain successful research and development efforts, develop new solutions, and improve our existing solutions, all ahead of competitors. We are focusing our research and
 
25

 
development efforts across several key emerging technologies, including computer vision, software-defined radar and FMCW lidar, the True Redundancy sensor fusion architecture, the REM mapping technology and our RSS model, and the Mobileye SuperVision Lite, Mobileye SuperVision, Mobileye Drive and Mobileye Chauffeur systems. These are ambitious initiatives, and we cannot guarantee that all of these efforts will deliver the benefits we anticipate or be homologated as expected. We must make research and development investments based on our views of the most promising approaches to address future customer needs in rapidly evolving markets, and we cannot be certain that we will target out research and development investments appropriately, or correctly anticipate the manner in which these markets will evolve. To the extent our research and development efforts do not produce timely improvements in utility, accuracy, safety, cost and operational efficiency, our competitive position will be harmed. We do not expect all of our research and development investments to be successful. Some of our efforts to develop and market new solutions may fail, and the solutions we invest in and develop may be rejected by regulators or may not be well received by customers, who may adopt competing technologies. We make significant investments in research and development, and our investments at times may not contribute to our future operating results for several years, if at all, and such contributions at times may not meet our expectations or even cover the costs of such investments, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We operate in a highly competitive market.
The ADAS and autonomous driving industries are highly competitive, and we expect they will become even more competitive in the future. Our future success will depend on, among other things, our ability to continue developing superior advanced technology to remain competitive with our existing and any new competitors. Competition is based on, among other things, cost efficiency, reliability, the ability to develop and deploy increasingly complex technologies that provide for vehicle, passenger, and pedestrian safety in compliance with existing and future regulations, the ability to gather or access large validation datasets in order to train the required software and to continuously harvest new data in real-time, the ability to cost-effectively deploy hardware, the ability to integrate technologies and hardware with overall vehicle design and production, adoption by OEMs, and the ability to develop and maintain strategic relationships with other participants in the automotive industry.
A significant and growing number of established and new technology companies and automobile manufacturers have entered, or are reported to have plans to enter, the market for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions. For example, certain of our competitors have announced that they are operating autonomous robotaxis. Some of our competitors have significantly greater or better-established resources than we do to devote to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale, and support of their products. Automakers who seek to develop their own in-house solutions may also become indirect competitors. Some OEMs that have incorporated our solutions in the past have decided, and some OEMs that currently incorporate our solutions may decide to design in-house solutions to replace our solutions that they currently implement. For example, Tesla had previously incorporated our ADAS solutions in their vehicles but transitioned to their own in-house ADAS solutions. Mercedes-Benz is also employing its own in-house solutions, with others such as General Motors, NIO, Volvo Cars, and Xpeng Motors also pursuing in-house solutions for portions of the ADAS software stack. In addition, our Tier 1 customers may be developing or may in the future develop competing solutions.
Tier 1 automotive supplier competitors include Bosch, Continental, and Denso. Our competitors in the silicon provider category include Ambarella, Advanced Micro Devices, Arriver / Qualcomm, Black Sesame Technologies, Horizon Robotics, Huawei, NVIDIA, NXP, Renesas Electronics, and Texas Instruments. Additional competitors that could emerge include large technology companies that are resource rich and able to deploy such resources to compete, as well as companies that are able to develop products that may not require the massive datasets upon which our technologies currently rely while still achieving the same effectiveness of algorithms.
In the autonomous driving market, including AMaaS and consumer AV, we face competition from technology companies, internal development teams from the automakers themselves, sometimes in combination with investments in early-stage autonomous vehicle technology companies, Tier 1 automotive suppliers, and robotaxi providers. AMaaS competitors include Argo AI, Aurora, Cruise, Motional, Pony.ai,
 
26

 
Waymo, Yandex, and Zoox in the United States and Europe and Auto X, Baidu, Deeproute.ai, Didi Chuxing, Momenta, and WeRide in China. Consumer AV competitors include Apple, Sony, and Tesla, who are developing self-driving vehicles for consumers.
Moovit competes against urban mobility applications and MaaS solutions, which provide transportation services and navigation data to consumers. Moovit’s free application competition includes Alphabet, Apple, Citymapper and Transit. Moovit’s application also competes with on-demand service providers that provide multi-modal ride services and route planning through their own services including Lyft, TransLoc, Trapeze, Uber, and Via.
See “Business — Our Competition.”
We have experienced and are continuing to experience constraints in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs as the result of the global semiconductor shortage, and future shortages in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs or other critical parts would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The semiconductor industry is experiencing widespread shortages of substrates and other components and available foundry manufacturing capacity, and we anticipate that such shortages will continue. These factors, combined with the long lead times associated with wafer production, have contributed to a shortage of semiconductors. During 2021 and through the first half of 2022, STMicroelectronics N.V. (“STMicroelectronics”), our sole supplier of EyeQ® SoCs, was not able to meet our demand for EyeQ® SoCs, causing a significant reduction in our inventory level, and we expect to continue to experience a shortfall of chips during the second half of 2022. We have entered 2022 with significantly lower inventories of our EyeQ® SoCs as a result of the limited supply during 2021, and, due to continuing supply chain constraints, we are operating with minimal or no inventory of EyeQ® SoCs on hand. As a result, we are substantially reliant on timely shipments of EyeQ® SoCs from STMicroelectronics to fulfill customer orders and are unable to offset future supply constraints through the use of inventory on hand, In addition, without a solution to the shortages, we may continue to have insufficient inventory in subsequent fiscal years. Since our EyeQ® SoC is the core of our ADAS and autonomous driving solutions, continued shortages in the supply of sufficient EyeQ® SoCs to meet our production needs would impair our ability to meet our customers’ requirements in a timely manner, and would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The limited supply of EyeQ® SoCs has already led to rescheduling deliveries to our customers on certain occasions and may continue to cause delays in our ability to fulfill our customers’ orders as scheduled. Moreover, global semiconductor shortages are continuing to constrain production and cause production delays by automakers, which we expect to result in reduced or delayed demand for our solutions. In addition, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays in the delivery of critical components, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Sustaining the proliferation of our solutions will require the readiness and solvency of our suppliers and vendors, a stable and motivated workforce, and ongoing government cooperation, including for travel and visa allowances, which many governments have restricted in connection with efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic. In the future, to avoid supply chain constraints, we may build up inventories of EyeQ® SoCs which could require substantial amounts of capital. Furthermore, accumulating such inventories may expose us to risks regarding the obsolescence of such chips.
We depend on STMicroelectronics to manufacture our EyeQ® SoCs.
We currently purchase all of our EyeQ® SoCs from STMicroelectronics. Because of the complex proprietary nature of our EyeQ® SoCs, any transition from STMicroelectronics to a new supplier or, if there were a disaster at any of STMicroelectronics’ facilities involved in manufacturing our EyeQ® SoCs, bringing new facilities online, would take a significant period of time to complete and would likely result in our having insufficient inventory and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, our contractual relationship with STMicroelectronics does not provide us with long-term pricing or quantity guarantees, and both we and STMicroelectronics are free to terminate the arrangement at any time. Further, we are vulnerable to the risk that STMicroelectronics may be unable to meet demand for our EyeQ® SoCs or cease operations altogether. Moreover, STMicroelectronics depends on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (“TSMC”) as its subcontractor to manufacture our EyeQ® SoCs, and as a result, we are also vulnerable to the risk that TSMC may be unable to meet demand
 
27

 
or cease operations altogether. In addition, we may be affected by supply constraints and increased costs involving STMicroelectronics and TSMC resulting from the global semiconductor shortage. See “— We have experienced and are continuing to experience constraints in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs as the result of the global semiconductor shortage, and future shortages in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs or other critical parts would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.”
TSMC is located in Taiwan, and our ability to receive sufficient supplies of our EyeQ® SoCs could be adversely affected by events such as natural disasters in Taiwan, including earthquakes, drought and typhoons, the escalations of tensions between the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, including resulting from the People’s Republic of China’s recent step up of military exercises around Taiwan, political unrest, trade restrictions, or war. These same factors may also adversely affect the global supply of microchips and cause additional constraints on global automotive production.
We face additional supply chain risks and risks of interruption of requisite services, including, as a result of our reliance on a single or limited suppliers and vendors, for certain components, equipment, and services.
A large number of suppliers and vendors provide materials, equipment, and services that are used in the production of our solutions and other aspects of our business. Where possible, we seek to have several sources of supply. However, for certain materials, equipment, and services, we rely on a single or a limited number of direct and indirect suppliers and vendors, or upon direct and indirect suppliers and vendors in a single location. In addition, direct and indirect supplier and vendor consolidation or business failures can impact the nature, quality, availability, and pricing of the products and services available to us. For example, we currently depend on Amazon Web Services for cloud services in connection with our REM mapping system, Roadbook, and AMaaS solutions including the Moovit platform, and a failure of such cloud services would result in interruptions to our services. In addition, the semiconductor industry is experiencing widespread shortages of substrates. See “— We have experienced and are continuing to experience constraints in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs as the result of the global semiconductor shortage, and future shortages in the supply of our EyeQ® SoCs or other critical parts would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition” and “— We depend on STMicroelectronics to manufacture our EyeQ® SoCs.”
Finding and qualifying alternate or additional suppliers and vendors is often a lengthy process and can lead to production delays, interruptions to our services, or additional costs, and such alternatives are sometimes not available at all. The inability of suppliers or vendors to deliver necessary production materials, equipment, or services can disrupt the production processes of our solutions and make it more difficult for us to implement our business strategy. Suppliers and vendors periodically extend lead times, face capacity constraints, limit supplies, increase prices, experience quality issues, or encounter cybersecurity or other issues that can interrupt or increase the cost of our supply and services. Production of our solutions can be disrupted by the unavailability of resources, such as water, silicon, electricity, gases, and other materials. The unavailability or reduced availability of materials or resources would require us to reduce production or incur additional costs, which would harm our business and results of operations.
We also rely on third-party providers to manufacture, assemble, and test certain components and products. From time to time, these third parties are unable to perform these services on a timely or cost-effective basis, in sufficient volumes, or at all. In some cases, there are limited or no readily available satisfactory alternate providers. In any of these circumstances, we can encounter supply delays or disruptions or incur additional costs that could prevent us from meeting customer demand and/or adversely affect our business and financial results. We typically have less control over delivery schedules, design and manufacturing co-optimization, manufacturing yields, quality, product quantities, and costs for components and products that are manufactured or supplied by third parties. Delays or quality issues with one component could limit our ability to manufacture the entire completed product.
Moreover, increased regulation or stakeholder expectations regarding responsible sourcing practices could cause our compliance costs to increase, or result in publicity that negatively affects our reputation. Moreover, given that we use several materials and services and rely on several suppliers and vendors, but do not directly control the procurement or employment practices of such suppliers and vendors, we could be subject to financial or reputational risks as a result of our suppliers’ and vendors’ conduct. To the extent we
 
28

 
are unable to manage these risks, our ability to timely supply competitive solutions will be harmed, our costs will increase, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Increases in costs of the materials and other components that we use in our solutions would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Significant changes in the markets in which we purchase materials, components, and supplies for the production of our solutions may adversely affect our profitability. Our contractual relationship with STMicroelectronics, our sole supplier of EyeQ® SoCs, and with other suppliers, does not provide us with long-term pricing or quantity guarantees. As a result of the global semiconductor shortage and inflationary pressures, we have experienced, continue to experience, and expect to experience in 2023 increases in the cost of our EyeQ® SoCs. We are seeking to adjust the prices charged to our customers to offset these cost increases, but anticipate that, despite such price increases, our gross margin will decrease, at least in the short term, as a result of these cost increases. Competitive and market pressures limit our ability to recover increases in costs through increases in prices we charge to our customers, and, even where we are able to achieve price increases that would offset such increased costs, in some cases there may be a delay before we are able to do so. The inability to pass on price increases to our customers when raw material or component prices increase rapidly or are significantly higher than historic levels would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition, the prices of our solutions depend on the bundle of applications that are included in the specific product, and our prices vary significantly across our solutions. Our solutions have different margin profiles, which vary between solutions depending on the amount, number, and type of components that we deliver. If we fail to maintain our solutions mix or maintain our gross margin and operating margin, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Our business may suffer from claims relating to, among other things, actual or alleged defects in our solutions, or if our solutions actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected, and publicity related to these claims could harm our reputation and decrease demand for our solutions or increase regulatory scrutiny of our solutions.
Our software and hardware, including our EyeQ® SoCs, are complex and, from time to time, have had, and could have or could be alleged to have, defects in design or manufacturing, security vulnerabilities or other errors, failures, or other issues of not functioning in accordance with their specifications or as expected. Some errors or defects in our solutions have been, and could be, initially undetected and only discovered after they have been tested, commercialized, and deployed by customers. Alleged or actual defects in any of our solutions could result in adverse publicity for us, warranty claims, litigation against us, legal expenses and damages, our customers never being able to commercialize technology incorporating our solutions, negative publicity for our customers, and other consequences. Errors, defects, or security vulnerabilities could result in serious injury to or death of the end users of vehicles incorporating our solutions, or those in the surrounding area, including as a result of traffic accidents and collisions. If that is the case, we would incur significant additional development costs and product recall, repair, or replacement costs.
If any of our solutions are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall involving such solutions. Each vehicle manufacturer has its own practices regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating to its suppliers. However, as suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process, OEMs may look to their direct and indirect suppliers for contribution when faced with recalls and product liability claims. OEMs also require their suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the costs of repair and replacement of such products under new vehicle warranties. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to a Tier 1 customer or OEM, a vehicle manufacturer may attempt to hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products under new vehicle warranties when the OEM asserts that the solution supplied did not perform as warranted. Our potential liability may increase to the extent that OEMs increasingly purchase our products directly, as opposed to incorporating our solutions through indirect purchases from our Tier 1 customers. Although we regularly evaluate the level of our reserves for warranty claims and adjust them when appropriate, final amounts determined to be due in respect of warranty claims could differ materially from our recorded estimates. Product liability, warranty, and recall costs would have an adverse effect on our business, results
 
29

 
of operations, and financial condition. In addition, product liability claims present the risk of protracted litigation, legal fees, and diversion of management’s attention from the operation of our business, even if our defense of these claims is ultimately successful.
While STMicroelectronics is responsible for quality control and procedures for testing and manufacturing our EyeQ® SoCs to our specifications, we retain liability for failure in production caused by defective EyeQ® SoC design or error. Although we use disclaimers, limitations of liability, and similar provisions in our agreements, there is no assurance that any or all of these provisions will prove to be effective barriers to product liability claims. In addition, although we are currently covered by Intel’s product liability insurance program, there is no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover any or all of our potential losses as a result of large deductibles and broad exclusions. Intel may also discontinue our insurance coverage, and we may be unable to find replacement insurance on acceptable terms, or at all.
Furthermore, the automotive industry in general is subject to significant litigation claims due to the potentially severe consequences of traffic collisions or other accidents. As a provider of solutions related to, among other things, preventing traffic collisions and other accidents, we could be subject to litigation for traffic collisions or other accidents, even if our solutions or their features or the failure thereof did not cause any particular traffic collision or accident. Our technology has been involved, and we expect in the future will be involved, in accidents resulting in death or personal injury, and such accidents where our solutions or their features are involved may be the subject of significant public attention. There also remains significant uncertainty in the legal implications to providers of emerging ADAS and autonomous driving technologies of traffic collisions or other accidents involving such technologies, particularly given variations in legal and regulatory regimes that are emerging in different jurisdictions, and we may become liable for losses that exceed the current industry norms as the regulatory and legal landscape develops. In addition, because ADAS and autonomous driving technologies rely on products and services provided by third parties, there is the potential that the failure of such third-party products or services that affect the performance of EyeQ® SoCs, notwithstanding the absence of any defect in design or manufacture or other failure in EyeQ® SoCs themselves, could result in additional claims being made against us.
Publicity regarding claims involving our solutions can also have an adverse effect on our reputation and the reputation for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions, which could decrease consumer demand for vehicles incorporating these technologies. Further, enhanced publicity surrounding such claims may also increase the regulatory scrutiny of our platforms, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete our business plans.
We invest significant effort and money seeking OEM selection of our solutions, and there can be no assurance that these efforts will result in the selection of our solutions for use in production models. If we fail to achieve a design win after incurring substantial expenditures in these efforts, our future business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We invest significant effort and money from the time of our initial contact with an OEM to the time when the OEM chooses our technology for ADAS or autonomous driving applications to be incorporated into one or more specific vehicle models to be produced by the OEM. This selection process is known as a “design win.” We could expend significant resources pursuing, but fail to achieve, a design win. After a design win, it is typically difficult for a product or technology that did not receive the design win to displace the winner until the OEM issues a new request for quotation because an OEM will generally not change complex technology already integrated in its systems until a vehicle model is revamped. In addition, the firm with the winning design may have an advantage with the OEM going forward because of the established relationship between the winning firm and the OEM, which would make it more difficult for that firm’s competitors to win the designs for other production models. If we fail to win a significant number of OEM design competitions in the future, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
There is no guarantee that our customers will purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price even after we achieve design wins, and there may be significant delays between the time we achieve a design win until we realize revenue from the vehicle model.
We generally do not have contracts with customers that require them to purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price, and our sales could be less than we forecast if a vehicle model for
 
30

 
which we achieved a design win is unsuccessful, including for reasons unrelated to our solutions, if an OEM decides to discontinue or reduce production of a vehicle model or of the use of our solutions in a vehicle model, or if we face downward pricing pressure. As a result, achieving design wins is not a guarantee of revenue, and our sales may not correlate with the achievement of additional design wins. Moreover, pricing estimates are made at the time of a request for quotation by an OEM, so that worsening market or other conditions between the time of a request for quotation and an order for our solutions may require us to sell our solutions for a lower price than we initially expected. Due to the recent global material shortage, we have been working with our customers to ensure they commit to certain volumes in order to secure quantities. However, we have not committed to supply such volumes and the volumes we supply will depend upon market conditions. We may also face pricing pressures from our customers as a result of their restructuring, consolidation, and cost-cutting initiatives or as a result of increased competition. As a particular solution matures and unit volumes increase, we also generally expect its average selling price (“ASP”) to decline. In addition, there are generally step-downs in pricing over periods of production as volumes ramp up. If we are unable to generate sufficient production cost savings or introduce solutions with additional features and functionality at higher price points to offset price reductions, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Furthermore, our solutions are technologically complex, incorporate many technological innovations, and are typically subject to significant safety testing, and OEMs generally must make significant commitments of resources to test and validate our solutions before including them in any particular vehicle model. The integration cycles of our solutions with new OEMs are approximately one to three years after a design win, depending on the OEM and the complexity of the solution. These integration cycles result in our investment of resources prior to realizing any revenue from a vehicle model. An OEM may choose to cancel production of the vehicle model for which we achieved the design win or cancel or postpone the vehicle model. Our ADAS and autonomous driving solutions control various vehicle functions including engine, transmission, safety, steering, navigation, acceleration, and braking and therefore must be integrated effectively with the other systems of the vehicle developed by the OEM, our Tier 1 customers, and other suppliers, and we may be unable to achieve the requisite level of interoperability in a vehicle model for our solutions to be implemented even after a design win.
In connection with our design wins, we typically receive preliminary estimates from OEMs of their anticipated production volumes for the models relating to those design wins, and we have included information in this prospectus relating to the aggregate vehicles represented by certain of those estimates. Those estimates may be revised significantly by the OEMs, potentially multiple times, and may not be representative of future production volumes associated with those design wins, which could be significantly higher or lower than estimated. For example, several automakers have decreased their initial 2022 vehicle production projections, and we have adjusted our forecasts accordingly. Furthermore, long development cycles or vehicle model cancellations or postponements would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, in prior periods, certain Tier 1 customers increased their orders for components and parts, including our solutions, to counteract the impact of supply chain shortages for auto parts, and we expect these Tier 1 customers will utilize accrued inventory on hand before placing new orders to meet the demand of OEMs in current or future periods. As a result, some demand for our solutions and the corresponding revenue from these customers were shifted to earlier time periods than otherwise would have occurred absent a general supply chain shortage and inflationary environment.
We depend on a limited number of Tier 1 customers and OEMs for a substantial portion of our revenue, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in sales to, one or more of our major Tier 1 customers and/or the discontinued incorporation of our solutions by one or more major OEMs in their vehicle models would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We supply OEMs with the EyeQ® platform directly or through our arrangements with automotive system integrators, known as Tier 1 automotive suppliers, which are direct suppliers to OEMs. In 2021, our three largest Tier 1 customers, who were ZF, Valeo, and Aptiv, accounted for 35%, 19%, and 17%, respectively, of our revenue. For the six months ended July 2, 2022, our three largest Tier 1 customers, who were ZF, Valeo, and Aptiv, accounted for 43%, 15%, and 15%, respectively, of our revenue. Moreover, in 2021, 14%, 12%, 12%, and 12% of our revenue was derived from the incorporation of our solutions into the vehicle models of four OEMs and a total of 78% of our revenue was derived from the incorporation of our
 
31

 
solutions into the vehicle models of eight OEMs (including those four) through our Tier 1 customers. In the six months ended July 2, 2022, 13%, 12%, 11%, and 10% of our revenue was derived from the incorporation of our solutions into the vehicle models of four OEMs and a total of 76% of our revenue was derived from the incorporation of our solutions into the vehicle models of eight OEMs (including those four) through our Tier 1 customers. We have not executed written agreements with these Tier 1 customers but rather provide our solutions to such customers pursuant to standard purchase orders under our general terms and conditions, pursuant to which they are generally not obligated to purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price. See “— There is no guarantee that our customers will purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price even after we achieve design wins, and there may be significant delays between the time we achieve a design win until we realize revenue from the vehicle model.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of global shortages, some of our customers, including our top three Tier 1 customers, have committed to purchasing minimum quantities of certain solutions in 2022.
We believe our business, results of operations, and financial condition for the foreseeable future will likely continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of Tier 1 customers and the incorporation of our solutions by a relatively small number of OEMs in their vehicle models. In the future, our current Tier 1 customers may decide not to purchase our solutions, may purchase fewer of our solutions than they did in the past, or may alter their purchasing patterns, and OEMs may discontinue incorporation of our solutions in their vehicle models, including as a result of a transition to in-house solutions or solutions provided by our competitors, or their individual or aggregate production levels may decline due to a number of factors, including supply chain challenges and macroeconomic conditions. Further, the amount of revenue attributable to any single Tier 1 customer, or our Tier 1 customer concentration generally, may fluctuate in any given period. The loss of one or more key Tier 1 customers, a reduction in sales to any key Tier 1 customer, the discontinued or decreased incorporation of our solutions by a key OEM, or our inability to attract new significant Tier 1 customers and OEMs would negatively impact our revenue and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The success of our AMaaS solutions will depend on their effective deployment and operation by third parties.
The success of our AMaaS directed solutions will depend on our customers and partners, such as fleet operators, effectively deploying and operating our solution in the future, and their failure to do so may result from factors outside our control. We are collaborating with various business-to-business and business-to-consumer channels for the purpose of deploying Mobileye Drive. As part of our business-to-business go-to-market strategy, we expect to sell and integrate Mobileye Drive to a range of shuttle network operators and vehicle OEMs that intend to operate consumer-facing AMaaS, transportation on demand, and delivery services. Our current list of publicly announced business-to-business partners is Beep, Benteler, ComfortDelgro, Lohr, Marubeni, RATP Group, Schaeffler, Udelv, and Willer. Additionally, as part of our business-to-customer go-to-market strategy, we expect to deploy Mobileye Drive-enabled AMaaS offerings by integrating them with our self-driving vehicles in partnership with fleet operators, such as SIXT. Such third parties may also terminate our partnerships with them. For example, in February 2021, we publicly announced a business-to-business partnership with Transdev to deploy autonomous shuttles, and, in June 2022, Transdev notified us that it has decided to end our joint efforts relating to the development of autonomous vehicles as a result of a change in its internal development strategy. Any failures by third parties to effectively deploy and operate our AMaaS solutions, or the termination of our relationships with any such third parties, would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Developing RoadBook depends on continued cooperation by OEMs.
The success of our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist system requires significant amounts of fresh mapping data from series production vehicles around the world in order to develop RoadBook. We currently have agreements in place that provide OEMs with economic benefits or technological advantages to provide us with data arriving from OEM series production vehicles, but there is no guarantee that we can keep such agreements in place or that OEMs will continue to cooperate with us. If we are not able to obtain mapping data for RoadBook, our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist system will not perform as expected, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are highly dependent on the services of Professor Amnon Shashua, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
We are highly dependent on Professor Shashua, our President and Chief Executive Officer. While Professor Shashua is highly active in our management and allocates a significant amount of time to our company, he does not devote his full time and attention to our company. For example, Professor Shashua is also the Chairman and co-founder of AI21 Labs, which works to use AI to understand and create natural language, the Co-Chairman and co-founder of OrCam, which harnesses computer vision and AI to assist the visually and hearing impaired, the Founder of One Zero Digital Bank, an entirely digital independent bank being developed in Israel, the Chairman and co-founder of Mentee Robotics, which aims to build humanoid robots, and the Sachs Chair in Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he teaches and supervises graduate students. Professor Shashua may also become involved in additional ventures from time to time. The loss of Professor Shashua, or a significant diminution in his contribution to us, would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we are unable to attract, retain, and motivate key employees, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Hiring and retaining qualified executives, developers, engineers, technical staff, and sales representatives are critical to our business. The competition for highly skilled employees in our industry is increasingly intense. Competitors for technical talent increasingly seek to hire our employees. Changes in the interpretation and application of employment-related laws to our workforce practices may also result in increased operating costs and less flexibility in how we meet our changing workforce needs. To help attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees, we intend to use employee incentives such as share-based awards. Our employee hiring and retention also depend on our ability to build and maintain a diverse and inclusive workplace culture and be viewed as an employer of choice. If our share-based or other compensation programs and workplace culture cease to be viewed as competitive, our ability to attract, retain, and motivate employees would be weakened, which would harm our results of operations. Equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses, which we expect to increase over time. Moreover, sustained declines in our stock price can reduce the retention value of our share-based awards. If we do not effectively hire, onboard, retain, and motivate key employees, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Changes in our management team can also disrupt our business. Our management and senior leadership team has significant industry experience, and their knowledge and relationships would be difficult to replace. Leadership changes may occur from time to time, and we cannot predict whether significant resignations will occur or whether we will be able to recruit qualified personnel. In addition, the relationships and reputation that members of our management and key leadership have established and maintain with our Tier 1 customers and OEMs contribute to our ability to maintain strong relationships with key partners and to identify new business opportunities.
As part of the Reorganization, we have also recruited certain employees relating to the Mobileye business from Intel. The failure to successfully transition and assimilate key employees would adversely affect our results of operations.
We face integration risks and costs associated with companies, assets, employees, products, and technologies that we have or that we may acquire, including with our acquisition of Moovit.
We have in the past and, if we are presented with appropriate opportunities, we may in the future acquire or make investments in complementary companies, assets, employees, products, and technologies. We face risks, uncertainties, and disruptions associated with the integration process of any such acquisitions or investments, including difficulties in the integration of the operations of an acquired company, integration of acquired technology with our solutions, diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns, the potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired business, and our inability to achieve the strategic goals of such acquisitions and investments. For example, Intel acquired Moovit in May 2020 to accelerate our MaaS offering. On May 31, 2022, we legally acquired the Moovit entities from Intel in connection with this offering, and we may be unable to successfully integrate Moovit’s
 
33

 
MaaS platform into our business and may fail to achieve the financial and strategic objectives of the acquisition of Moovit. We have also integrated a number of Intel employees to support and accelerate the development of EyeQ Kit. We may fail to make any or satisfactory returns on our acquisition of Moovit or any other investment, acquisition, or integration of employees, which could result in an impairment of goodwill and other assets and restructuring charges. Any failure to successfully integrate other companies, assets, employees, products, or technologies that we have or may acquire will adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, we may have to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions or investments, the issuance of which could be dilutive to our existing stockholder.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
A majority of our operating expenses are for research and development activities. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

technological advancements;

market acceptance of our solutions and solution enhancements, and the overall level of sales of our solutions;

research and development expenses;

our relationships with our customers and suppliers;

our ability to control costs;

sales and marketing expenses;

enhancements to our infrastructure and systems and any capital improvements to our facilities;

potential acquisitions of businesses and product lines; and

general economic conditions, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, rising interest rates, and international conflicts and their impact on the automotive industry in particular.
If our capital requirements are materially different from those currently planned, we may need additional capital sooner than anticipated. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders may be diluted. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations as planned, develop or enhance our solutions, expand our sales and marketing programs, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures.
We are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, including those in connection with recent inflationary trends in the United States.
We are exposed to adverse as well as beneficial movements in currency exchange rates. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and we incur financial expenses in connection with fluctuations in value due to foreign exchange differences between our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in New Israeli Shekels and, to a much lesser extent, the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the Japanese Yen, and other currencies. Although most of our sales occur in U.S. dollars, and our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, the vast majority of our payroll and other operating expenses are accrued in New Israeli Shekels. An increase in the value of the dollar will increase the real cost to our customers of our solutions in those markets outside the U.S. where we sell in dollars, and a weakened dollar will increase the cost of expenses such as payroll, utilities, tax, marketing expenses, and capital expenditures. For example, recent inflationary trends in the United States have significantly devalued the U.S. dollar with respect to the New Israeli Shekel and many other currencies, causing a significant increase to our expenses, particularly in Israel. Changes in exchange rates would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

we been a separate, stand-alone company during the years presented. Our historical financial data presented in this prospectus includes costs of our business, which may not, however, reflect the expenses we would have incurred as a stand-alone company for the years presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had operated as a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, the outsourcing of certain functions, and other strategic decisions. We have provided pro forma financial information that gives effect to the Reorganization, this offering, and the use of net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement, as further described under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The pro forma financial information included in this prospectus is also not representative of our results as an independent public company. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and our historical combined financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected significant portions of our business and could have a continued adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected significant portions of our business and could have a continued adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Authorities have imposed, and businesses and individuals have implemented from time to time, numerous measures to try to contain the virus and its variants or treat its impact, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place/stay-at-home and social distancing orders, shutdowns, and vaccine requirements. These measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our and their respective suppliers and partners. We have experienced, and could in the future experience, reduced workforce availability at some of our sites, construction delays, and reduced capacity at some of our suppliers. Restrictions on our operations or workforce, or of those of our suppliers, and transportation restrictions or disruptions, can limit our ability to meet customer demand. Our customers have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions in their operations and supply chains, which can result in delayed, reduced, or cancelled orders or collection risks. Any such occurrences would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices, including with respect to employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events, and conferences, and social distancing measures. We may take further actions to prevent infections as required by government authorities or others, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. Work-from-home and other measures introduce additional operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have affected the way we conduct development, validation, and qualification of our solutions and other activities. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and illness and workforce disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability to perform critical functions.
The pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty, and has led to volatility in capital markets and credit markets. See “— General Risks — Global or regional conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.” Restrictions imposed on travel and reduced operations or closures of OEM manufacturers or dealerships that sell vehicle models that implement our solutions could result in challenges in or postponements for deployments of our new and existing solutions. Given the continued and substantial economic uncertainty and volatility created by the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the nature and extent of impacts on demand for our solutions.
The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the virus and its variants or treat their impact, other actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the virus and resulting economic disruption, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Additional impacts and risks may arise that we are not aware of or able to respond to effectively. We are similarly unable to predict the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our customers, suppliers, and other partners, but an adverse effect on these parties could also adversely affect us. The impact of COVID-19 can also exacerbate other risks discussed in this Risk Factors section and throughout this prospectus.

We are a holding company.
We are a holding company. Accordingly, our ability to conduct our operations, service any debt that we may incur, and pay dividends, if any, is dependent upon the earnings from the business conducted by our subsidiaries. The distribution of those earnings or advances or other distributions of funds by our subsidiaries to us, as well as our receipt of such funds, are contingent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and are subject to various business considerations and applicable law, including the laws of Israel. If our subsidiaries are unable to make sufficient distributions or advances to us, or if there are limitations on our ability to receive such distributions or advances, we may not have the cash resources necessary to conduct our corporate operations, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Privacy, Data, and Cybersecurity
Interruptions to our information technology systems and networks and cybersecurity incidents could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We collect and maintain information in digital form that is necessary to conduct our business, and we rely on information technology systems and networks (“IT systems”) to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support our business and consumer facing activities. Our operations routinely involve receiving, storing, processing, and transmitting confidential or sensitive information pertaining to our business, customers, suppliers, employees, and other sensitive matters, including trade secrets, other proprietary business information, and personal information. Although we have established physical, electronic, and organizational measures designed to safeguard and secure our systems to prevent a data breach or compromise, and rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for our IT systems and the processing, transmission, and storage of digital information, we cannot guarantee that such measures will be adequate to detect, prevent, or mitigate cyber incidents. The implementation, maintenance, segregation, and improvement of these measures requires significant management time, support, and cost. Moreover, there are inherent risks associated with developing, improving, expanding, and updating current systems, including the disruption of our data management, procurement, production execution, finance, supply chain, and sales and service processes. These risks may affect our ability to manage our data and inventory, procure parts or supplies, or produce, sell, deliver, and service our solutions, adequately protect our intellectual property, or achieve and maintain compliance with, or realize available benefits under, applicable laws, regulations, and contracts.
We cannot be sure that the IT systems upon which we rely, including those of our third-party vendors or suppliers, will be effectively implemented, maintained, or expanded as planned. While cyberattacks against our third-party vendors or suppliers have not materially adversely affected us to date, future cyberattacks on such third parties may cause significant disruptions and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, despite the implementation of preventative and detective security controls, such IT systems are vulnerable to damage, shutdown, or interruption from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures or interruptions, system malfunction, natural disasters, terrorism, and war. Additionally, our IT systems and products may be vulnerable to malicious acts by hackers, including through use of computer viruses, malware (including ransomware), phishing attacks, or denial of service attacks.
We regularly face attempts by others to gain unauthorized access, or to introduce malicious software, to our IT systems. Individuals or organizations, including malicious hackers, state-sponsored organizations, insider threats, including employees and third-party service providers, or intruders into our physical facilities, at times may attempt to gain unauthorized access to or corrupt our IT systems, products, or services. Due to the widespread use of our solutions, we are a target for computer hackers and organizations that intend to sabotage, take control of, or otherwise corrupt our processes, solutions, and services. We are also a target for malicious attackers who attempt to gain access to our network or data centers or those of our suppliers, customers, partners, or end users, steal proprietary information related to our business, products, employees, suppliers, and customers, interrupt our infrastructure, systems, and services or those of our suppliers, customers, or others, or demand ransom to return control of such systems and services. Such attempts are increasing in number and in technical sophistication, and if successful, expose us and the affected parties to risk of loss or misuse of confidential or other proprietary or commercially sensitive information,
 
36

 
compromise personal information regarding users or employees, disrupt our business operations, and jeopardize the security of our facilities. Our IT infrastructure also includes products and services provided by third parties, and these providers may experience breaches of their systems and products that impact the security of our systems and our proprietary or confidential information.
We have experienced data breaches, cyberattacks, attempts to breach our systems, and other similar incidents, none of which have resulted in a material adverse impact to our business or operations, but there can be no guarantee we will not experience an incident that would have such an impact. Such incidents, whether or not successful, could result in our incurring significant costs related to, for example, rebuilding internal systems, writing down inventory value, implementing additional threat protection measures, providing modifications to our solutions, defending against litigation, responding to regulatory inquiries or actions, paying damages, providing customers with incentives to maintain the business relationship, or taking other remedial steps with respect to third parties, as well as reputational harm. In addition, cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, thereby increasing the difficulty of successfully defending against them or implementing adequate preventative measures. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work and remote access to our systems have increased significantly, which also increases our cybersecurity attack surface. There has also been an increase in cyberattack volume, frequency, and sophistication driven by the global enablement of remote workforces. We seek to detect and investigate unauthorized attempts and attacks against our network and solutions and to prevent their recurrence where practicable through changes to our internal processes and tools and changes or updates to our solutions. However, despite the implementation of preventative and detective security controls, we, and the third parties upon which we rely, remain potentially vulnerable to additional known or unknown cybersecurity threats. In some instances, we, our suppliers, our customers, and end users, can be unaware of an incident or its magnitude and effects. Even when a security breach is detected, the full extent of the breach may not be determined, and even if determined, a full investigation may require time and resources. Any actual or perceived security incident could result in, among other things, unfavorable publicity, governmental inquiry and oversight, difficulty in marketing our services, allegations by our customers that we have not performed our contractual obligations, litigation by affected parties, including our customers, and possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse of such information or inventory, any of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Security breaches and other disruptions of our in-vehicle systems and related data could impact the safety of our end users and reduce confidence in us and our solutions.
Our ADAS and autonomous driving systems contain complex information technology. These systems may affect the control of various vehicle functions including engine, transmission, safety, steering, navigation, acceleration, and braking. We have designed, implemented, and tested security measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to these systems. However, hackers may attempt in the future to gain unauthorized access to modify, alter, and use such systems to gain control of, or to change, the functionality, user interface and performance characteristics of vehicles incorporating our solutions, or to gain access to data stored in or generated by the vehicle. In addition, as we transition to offering solutions that involve cloud-based solutions, including over-the-air updates, our solutions may increasingly be subject to cyber threats. We also transmit and store RoadBook data on the cloud with Amazon Web Services, and we depend on Amazon Web Services for securing data stored with it. Hackers may attempt to infiltrate, steal, corrupt, or manipulate such data on the cloud, which could also result in our in-vehicle systems malfunctioning. Malicious cybersecurity attacks against our in-vehicle systems that relate to automotive safety and related data, such as the data described in the preceding sentence, could potentially lead to bodily injury or death of end users, passengers, and others. Any unauthorized access to or control of vehicles incorporating our solutions or their systems could adversely impact the safety of those vehicles, or result in legal or regulatory claims or proceedings, liability, or regulatory penalties. Moreover, new laws, such as the new data law in Massachusetts that would permit third-party access to vehicle data and related systems, could expose our vehicles and vehicle systems to third-party access without appropriate security measures in place, leading to new safety and security risks, and reducing trust and confidence in our solutions. In addition, regardless of their accuracy, reports of unauthorized access to our solutions, their systems, or data, as well as other factors that may result in the perception that our solutions, their systems, or data are capable of being hacked, could harm our reputation, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Failures or perceived failures to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security requirements, or theft, loss, or misuse of personal information about our employees, customers, end users, or other third parties, or other information, could increase our expenses, damage our reputation, or result in legal or regulatory proceedings.
The theft, loss, or misuse of personal information collected, used, stored, or transferred by us to run our business could result in significantly increased business and security costs or costs related to defending legal claims. For example, data collected by the camera of our solutions during the development cycle of a project may include personal information such as license plate numbers of other vehicles, facial features of pedestrians, appearance of individuals, GPS data, and geolocation data. We anticipate that our collection of such personal information will increase as a result of the growth of our MaaS solutions, including our integration of Moovit, which provides us with access to personal information of its users, and it may increase as we enter into new or adjacent businesses. Notwithstanding our efforts to protect the security and integrity of our customers’ personal information, we may be required to expend significant resources to comply with data breach requirements if, for example, third parties improperly obtain and use the personal information of our customers, or we otherwise experience a data loss with respect to customers’ personal information. A major breach of our network security and systems may result in fines, penalties, and damages, harm our reputation, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services. We are subject to a variety of local, state, national and international laws, directives, and regulations that apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, security, disclosure, transfer, and other processing of personal data in the different jurisdictions in which we operate (“Data Protection Laws”). Any failure by us or our vendors or other business partners to comply with our public privacy notice or with U.S. federal, state, local, Israeli, Chinese, or other foreign or international Data Protection Laws could result in regulatory or litigation-related actions against us, legal liability, fines, damages, ongoing audit requirements, and other significant costs. Global privacy legislation, enforcement, and policy activity in this area are rapidly expanding and creating a complex regulatory compliance environment. Because many Data Protection Laws are new or subject to recent revisions or updates, there is often little clarity as to their interpretation or best practices for compliance, as well as a lack of precedent for the scope of enforcement. Costs to comply with Data Protection Laws and implement related privacy and data protection measures are significant, and may require us to change our business practices and compliance manners. Any noncompliance could adversely affect our ability to collect, analyze, and store data, expose us to significant monetary penalties, damage to our reputation, result in suspension of online services or sites in certain countries, and even result in criminal sanctions. Even our inadvertent failure to comply with Data Protection Laws could result in audits, regulatory inquiries, or proceedings against us by governmental entities or other third parties. Any inability to adequately address data privacy or data protection, or other information security-related concerns, even if unfounded, to successfully negotiate privacy, data protection, or information security-related contractual terms with customers, or to comply with Data Protection Laws, could result in additional cost and liability to us, harm our reputation and brand, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Related to our Intellectual Property Rights
We may not be able to adequately protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights, and our efforts to do so may be costly.
The success of our solutions and business depends in part on our ability to obtain patents and other intellectual property rights and to maintain adequate legal protection for our solutions in the United States and other international jurisdictions. If we are not able to adequately protect or enforce the proprietary aspects of our technology, competitors could be able to access our proprietary technology and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. We currently attempt to protect our technology through a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and similar means, all of which provide only limited protection. We have filed for patent and trademark registration in the United States, Israel and in certain other international jurisdictions. However, effective intellectual property protection may be unavailable in some countries
 
38

 
where we operate or seek to enforce our intellectual property rights or more limited in foreign jurisdictions relative to those protections available in the United States, or may not be applied for in one or more relevant jurisdictions. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available.
Our issued patents and trademarks and any pending or future patent and trademark applications that may result in issuances or registrations may not provide sufficiently broad protection or may not prove to be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. The patent prosecution process is expensive, time-consuming, and complex, and we may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output in time to obtain patent protection. Failure to timely seek patent protection on products or technologies generally precludes us from seeking future patent protection on these products or technologies. Even if we do timely seek patent protection, the coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued, and its scope can be reinterpreted after issuance. As a result, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately in the United States, Israel or elsewhere. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could result in our competitors offering similar products or services, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage and a decrease in our revenue, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Despite our efforts, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy, reverse engineer, disclose, obtain, or use our technologies or systems. Our competitors may also be able to independently develop similar products or services that are competitive to ours or design around our issued patents. If third parties obtain patent protection with respect to such technologies, they may assert that our technology infringes their patents and seek to charge us a licensing fee or otherwise preclude or make costlier the use of our technology. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to prevent unauthorized parties from copying or reverse engineering our solutions, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to block the importation of infringing products into the United States or other countries. We have been, and in the future may be, a party to claims and litigation as a result of alleged infringement by third parties of our intellectual property. Even when we sue other parties for such infringement, that suit may have adverse consequences for our business. Any such suit is likely to be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and may divert our management’s time and attention from our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and legal fees related to such litigation will increase our operating expenses and may reduce our net income. Any claims we assert against perceived infringers could provoke these parties to assert counterclaims against us, alleging that we infringe their intellectual property or alleging that our intellectual property is invalid or unenforceable. Furthermore, any litigation initiated by us could result in a court or governmental agency invalidating or rendering unenforceable our patents or other intellectual property rights upon which the suit is based, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition, we depend on licenses for certain technologies from third parties and, as a result, are dependent on these third parties to protect, defend and enforce the intellectual property rights related to those technologies. This includes an agreement with Intel in which Intel grants to us a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and worldwide license, sublicense, or other right, as applicable, under certain patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries and certain third parties, and further includes agreements we plan to enter into with Intel in connection with this offering in which we will be granted limited licenses from Intel for sensitive core technology relating to lidar and radar. See “— We depend on licenses for certain technologies from third parties, some of which require us to pay royalties, and our inability to use such technologies in the future would harm our ability to remain competitive” and “Risks Related to Our Relationship with Intel and Our Dual Class Structure — We may have conflicts of interest with Intel and, because of (i) certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to related person transactions and corporate opportunities, (ii) agreements we have and will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, and (iii) Intel’s controlling beneficial ownership interest in our company, we may not be able to resolve such conflicts on terms favorable to us.”
 
39

 
We have previously faced claims and may in the future become subject to additional claims and litigation brought by third parties alleging infringement by us of their intellectual property rights.
The industry in which our business operates is characterized by a large number of patents, some of which may be of questionable scope, validity, or enforceability, and some of which may appear to overlap with other issued patents. As a result, there is a significant amount of uncertainty in the industry regarding patent protection and infringement. In addition to these patents, participants in this industry typically also protect their technology, especially embedded software, through copyrights and trade secrets. In recent years, there has been significant litigation globally involving patents and other intellectual property rights.
We have previously faced claims and may in the future be subject to additional claims and litigation alleging our infringement, misappropriation or other violation of third-party patent rights, trade secret rights or other intellectual property rights, particularly as a public company with an increased profile and visibility, and as we expand our presence in the market and to new use cases and face increasing competition. In addition, in the event that we recruit employees from other technology companies, including certain potential competitors, and these employees are used in the development of solutions that are similar to the solutions they were involved in developing for their former employers, we may become subject to claims that such employees have improperly used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information. We may also in the future be subject to claims by our suppliers, employees, consultants, or contractors asserting an ownership right in our patents or patent applications, as a result of the work they performed on our behalf. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if resolved adversely to us, could subject us to significant liability for damages, impose temporary or permanent injunctions against our solutions or business operations or invalidate or render unenforceable our intellectual property. In addition, because patent applications can take many years until the patents issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, which may later result in issued patents that our solutions may infringe. If any of our solutions infringe a third party’s patent rights, or if we wish to avoid potential intellectual property litigation on any alleged infringement relating to our solutions, we could be prevented from selling, or we could elect not to sell, such solutions unless we obtain additional intellectual property rights and licenses, which may involve substantial royalty or other payments and may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Alternatively, we could be forced to redesign one or more of our solutions to avoid any infringement or allegations thereof. Procuring or developing substitute solutions that do not infringe could require significant effort and expense, and we may not be successful in any attempt to redesign our solutions to avoid any alleged infringement.
A successful claim of infringement against us, or our failure or inability to develop and implement non-infringing technology, or license the infringed intellectual property rights, on acceptable terms and on a timely basis, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. A party making such a claim, if successful, could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages or obtain an injunction. An adverse determination also could invalidate our intellectual property rights and adversely affect our ability to offer our solutions to our customers. Additionally, we may face liability to our customers, business partners or third parties for indemnification or other remedies in the event that they are sued for infringement in connection with their use of our solutions. We currently have a number of agreements in effect pursuant to which we have agreed to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless our customers, suppliers and other business partners from damages and costs which may arise from the infringement by our solutions of third-party patents or other intellectual property rights. The scope of these indemnity obligations varies, but may, in some instances, include indemnification for damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. Furthermore, our defense of intellectual property rights claims brought against us or our customers, business partners or other related third parties, regardless of our success, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management’s time and attention from our business, which could seriously harm our business. A claim that our solutions infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, even if untrue, could adversely affect our relationships with our customers or suppliers, may deter future customers from purchasing our solutions and could seriously harm our reputation with our customers or suppliers, as well as our reputation in the industry at large.
We depend on licenses for certain technologies from third parties, some of which require us to pay royalties, and our inability to use such technologies in the future would harm our ability to remain competitive.
We integrate certain technologies developed and owned by third parties into our solutions, including the central processing unit cores of our EyeQ® SoCs, through license and technology transfer agreements.
 
40

 
Under these agreements, we are obligated to pay royalties for each unit of our solutions that we sell that incorporates such third-party technology. If we are unable to maintain our contractual relationships with the third-party licensors on which we depend, then we may not be able to find replacement technology to integrate into our solutions on a timely basis or for a similar royalty fee, in which case our business, results of operations, and financial condition would also be adversely affected.
We also are party to an agreement with Intel in which (i) we grant to Intel a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable under certain circumstances, and worldwide license under patents and patent applications owned or controlled by us, and (ii) Intel grants to us a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and worldwide license, sublicense, or other right, as applicable, under certain patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries and certain third parties, and we further plan to enter into agreements with Intel in connection with this offering in which we will have a limited license from Intel for sensitive core technology relating to lidar and radar. See “— Risks Related to Our Relationship with Intel and Our Dual Class Structure — We may have conflicts of interest with Intel and, because of (i) certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to related person transactions and corporate opportunities, (ii) agreements we have and will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, and (iii) Intel’s controlling beneficial ownership interest in our company, we may not be able to resolve such conflicts on terms favorable to us.”
If we are unable to continue to use or license these technologies on reasonable terms, or if these technologies fail to operate properly, we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner or at all, and our ability to remain competitive would be harmed. In addition, if we are unable to successfully license technology from third parties to develop future solutions, we may not be able to develop such solutions in a timely manner or at all. The operation or security of our solutions could be impaired if errors or other defects occur in the third-party technologies we use, and it may be more difficult for us to correct any such errors and defects in a timely manner, if at all, because the development and maintenance of these technologies is not within our control. Any impairment of the technologies or of our relationship with these third parties would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees that result in litigation, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees in the course of their employment for us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967 (the “Patent Law”), inventions conceived by an employee in the course and as a result of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions” that belong to the employer, absent a specific agreement between the employee and employer providing otherwise. The Patent Law also provides that, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary between an employer and an employee, the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee (the “Committee”), a body constituted under the Patent Law, will determine whether the employee is entitled to remuneration for his or her inventions. Further, the Committee has not yet determined one specific formula for calculating this remuneration but rather uses the criteria specified in the Patent Law. Although we enter into assignment-of-invention agreements with our employees and service providers pursuant to which such individuals waive their right to remuneration for service inventions, we may face claims demanding remuneration in consideration for assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, we could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to our current and/or former employees and service providers, or be forced to litigate such claims, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition to patented technology, we rely on our unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, processes, and know-how.
We rely on proprietary information (such as trade secrets, know-how, and confidential information) to protect intellectual property that may not be patentable and may not be subject to copyright, trademark, trade dress or service mark protection, or that we believe is best protected by means that do not require public disclosure. Such proprietary information may be owned by us or disclosed to us by our licensors, suppliers or other third parties. We generally seek to protect this proprietary information by entering into confidentiality
 
41

 
agreements, or consulting, services or employment agreements that contain non-disclosure and non-use provisions with our employees, consultants, contractors, scientific advisors and other third parties. However, we may fail to enter into the necessary agreements, and even if entered into, these agreements may be breached or may otherwise fail to prevent disclosure, third-party infringement, or misappropriation of our proprietary information, may be limited as to their term, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. We have limited control over the protection of trade secrets used by our third-party manufacturers and suppliers and could lose future trade secret protection if any unauthorized disclosure of such information occurs. In addition, our proprietary information may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors or other third parties. To the extent that our employees, consultants, contractors, scientific advisors and other third parties use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in or to related or resulting know-how and inventions. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection for our proprietary information could adversely affect our competitive business position. Furthermore, laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets where we operate may afford little or no protection to our trade secrets.
We also rely on physical and electronic security measures to protect our proprietary information, but we cannot provide assurance that these security measures will not be breached or provide adequate protection for our property. There is a risk that third parties may obtain and improperly utilize our proprietary information to our competitive disadvantage. We may not be able to detect or prevent the unauthorized use of such information or take appropriate and timely steps to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights. The theft or unauthorized use or publication of our trade secrets and other confidential business information as a result of such an incident would affect our competitive position and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We use certain software and data governed by open-source licenses, which under certain circumstances could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Certain of our software and data, as well as that of our customers and vendors, may be derived from or otherwise incorporate so-called “open source” software and data that is generally made available to the public by its authors and/or other third parties. Some open-source software is made available under licenses that impose certain obligations on us regarding modifications or derivative works we create based upon the open-source software. These obligations may require us to make source code for the derivative works available to the public and/or license such derivative works under a particular type of license, rather than the forms of license we customarily use to protect our intellectual property. Additionally, if we combine our proprietary software with open-source software in certain manners we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary software or to make our proprietary software available under open-source licenses to third parties at little or no cost or on unfavorable license terms. In the event that the copyright holder of, or other third party that distributes, open-source software alleges that we have not complied with the terms of an open-source license, we could incur significant legal costs defending ourselves against such allegations. If such claims are successful, we could be subject to significant damages, required to release the source code that we developed using that open-source software to the public, enjoined from distributing our software and/or required to take other actions that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
While we take steps to monitor the use of open-source software in our solutions, processes and technology and try to ensure that no open-source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product, processes, or technology when we do not wish to do so, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated certain types of open source software into software we license from such third party for our solutions, processes, or technology, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our solutions, processes, or technology. This could harm our intellectual property position and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Further, the use of open-source software can lead to vulnerabilities that may make our software susceptible to attack, and although some open-source vendors provide warranty and support agreements, it

is common for such software to be available “as is” with no warranty, indemnity, or support. Although we monitor our use of such open-source code to avoid subjecting our solutions to unintended conditions, such use, under certain circumstances, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results and cash flow, including if we are required to take remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The current uncertain economic environment and inflationary conditions may adversely affect global vehicle production and demand for our solutions.
Our business depends on, and is directly affected by, the global automobile industry. Economic conditions in North America, Europe and Asia can have a large impact on the production volume of new vehicles, and, accordingly, have an impact on our revenue. Automotive production and sales are highly cyclical and depend on general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences, changes in interest rate levels and credit availability, consumer confidence and purchasing power, energy and fuel costs, fuel availability, environmental impact, governmental incentives, regulatory requirements, and political volatility, especially in energy-producing countries and growth markets. In addition, automotive production and sales can be affected by our customers’ ability to continue operating in response to challenging economic conditions, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response to labor relations issues and shortages, supply chain disruptions, regulatory requirements, trade agreements and other factors. For example, while the global vehicle industry shows recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately 3% growth year over year in 2021, production in 2021 was still approximately 13% below the 2019 level. Moreover, automakers continue to face supply chain shortages, and we expect that global vehicle production will not fully recover from the impact of supply chain constraints in 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, current uncertain economic conditions and inflation may contribute to a reduction in consumer demand, which may reduce vehicle production over at least the next several quarters. In addition to these general economic factors, uncertainties in specific markets may further contribute to lower vehicle production. For example, the disruption by Russia of gas supplies to Western Europe could significantly impact industrial production, including vehicle production, in significant markets such as Germany. We cannot predict when the impact of these factors on global vehicle production will substantially diminish. We believe that the expected continued constraint on global automotive production resulting from supply chain shortages and the effect of economic uncertainty will limit our ability to increase our revenue. More generally, the volume of automotive production in North America, Europe, China, and the rest of the world has fluctuated, sometimes significantly, from year to year, for many reasons, and such fluctuations give rise to fluctuations in the demand for our solutions. As a result, in addition to the impact of the current uncertainties that we anticipate to impact automotive production in the near term, adverse changes in economic or market conditions or other factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, the bankruptcy of any of our customers or the closure of OEM manufacturing facilities may result in a reduction in automotive sales and production, and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If OEMs are unable to maintain and increase consumer acceptance of ADAS and autonomous driving technology, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Our future operating results will depend on the ability of OEMs to maintain and increase consumer acceptance of ADAS and autonomous driving. There is no assurance that OEMs can achieve these objectives. Market acceptance of ADAS and autonomous driving depends upon many factors, including regulatory requirements, evolving safety standards, costs, and driver preferences. Market acceptance of ADAS and autonomous driving may also be adversely affected by safety incidents involving ADAS and autonomous driving solutions, even if the incidents do not involve our solutions. We cannot be sure that ADAS and autonomous driving will achieve market acceptance on a timeline that is consistent with our expectations or development and production plans. Market acceptance of our solutions also depends on the ability of market participants, including Mobileye, to resolve technical challenges for increasingly complex ADAS and autonomous driving technology in a timely and cost-effective manner. Consumers will also need to be made aware of the advantages of our solutions, such as the advantages of our offerings compared to competing technologies, specifically those that rely solely on either cameras or lidar and radar. If consumer

acceptance of ADAS and autonomous driving technology does not increase, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We operate in an industry that is new and rapidly evolving, and the estimates and forecasts of TAM and SAM included in this prospectus are subject to significant uncertainty.
We are pursuing opportunities in markets that are undergoing rapid changes, including technological and regulatory changes, and it is difficult to predict the timing and size of the opportunities. For example, ADAS and autonomous driving applications require complex technology and are subject to uncertainties with respect to, among other things, the rate of consumer acceptance and the impact of current or future regulations. Because these automotive systems depend on technology from many companies, commercialization of some ADAS or autonomous driving solutions could be delayed or impaired on account of certain technological components of our or others not being ready to be deployed in vehicles. Regulatory, safety or reliability developments, many of which are outside of our control, could also cause delays or otherwise impair commercial adoption of these new technologies, which will adversely affect our growth.
This prospectus contains estimates and forecasts concerning our industry, including estimates of the TAM and serviceable addressable market (“SAM”) of our current and anticipated future solutions, that are based on industry publications and reports or other publicly available information as well as our internal estimates and expectations. These estimates and forecasts involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and are subject to significant uncertainty, and you are cautioned not to give them undue weight. Industry surveys and publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy and completeness of the included information. We have not independently verified this third-party information. Similarly, our internal estimates and forecasts are based on a variety of assumptions, including assumptions regarding market acceptance of autonomous driving and ADAS and the manner in which this new and rapidly evolving market will develop. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates and forecasts are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting our assumptions or estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. As a result, our estimates and forecasts may prove to be incorrect. If third-party or internally generated data prove to be inaccurate or we make errors in our assumptions based on that data, the TAM and SAM for our solutions may be smaller than we have estimated, our future growth opportunities and sales growth may be smaller than we estimate, and our future business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our future financial performance will depend on our ability to make timely investments in the correct market opportunities. If one or more of these markets experience a shift in customer or prospective customer demand, then our solutions may not compete as effectively, if at all, and they may not be incorporated into commercialized end customer products. Given the evolving nature of the markets in which we operate, it is difficult to predict customer demand or adoption rates for our solutions or the future growth of the markets in which we operate. Even if the market for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions grows substantially, there is no guarantee that demand for our solutions will correlate with that growth if we fail to effectively pursue such opportunities. There is also no guarantee that our business will be successful simply because of the future TAM or SAM of our solutions, or because of the trends of the TAM and SAM of our solutions. If demand does not develop or if we cannot accurately forecast customer demand, then the size of our markets, inventory requirements or our future business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Regulatory and Compliance Risks
We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that affect our operations and that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide that affect our operations and that differ among jurisdictions, including automotive safety regulations, regulations governing autonomous driving technology,
 
44

 
intellectual property ownership and infringement laws, tax laws, import and export regulations, anti-corruption laws, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, data privacy laws, competition laws, advertising regulations, employment laws, product regulations, environmental laws, health and safety requirements, consumer laws and national security laws. Compliance with such requirements can be onerous and expensive, and may otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Although we have policies, controls, and procedures designed to help ensure compliance with applicable laws, there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, suppliers, or agents will not violate such laws or our policies. There may also be laws and regulations that limit the functionality of our solutions or require us to adapt our solutions to retain functionality. For example, the regulatory environment in China creates challenges for the proliferation of our solutions in that market. Due to regulations there, we also depend on our partners in China in order to collect, analyze and transmit data, and such partners may choose to cease, or be unable to, continue cooperating with us. Other countries have, or may implement, similar restrictions. Violations of these laws and regulations can result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, prohibitions on the conduct of our business and damage to our reputation. The automotive and technology industries are subject to intense media, political, and regulatory scrutiny, which can increase our exposure to government investigations, legal actions, and penalties.
Our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in automotive safety regulations or concerns that drive regulations that increase our costs or delay or halt adoption of our solutions.
There are a variety of international, foreign, federal, and state regulations that apply to vehicle safety that could affect the marketability of our solutions. Regulations relating to autonomous driving include many existing vehicle standards that were not originally intended to apply to vehicles that may not have a human driver, and autonomous driving may never be globally approved. The expected launch of our AMaaS solutions in many jurisdictions remains subject to regulatory review and approvals, and the regulatory standards relating to AMaaS are still developing and remain subject to substantial uncertainty. There has been relatively little mandatory government regulation of the self-driving industry to date. Currently, there are no Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards that relate to the performance of self-driving technology and no widely accepted uniform standards to certify self-driving technology and its commercial use on public roads. It is also possible that future self-driving regulations are not standardized, and our technology could become subject to differing regulations across jurisdictions. For example, in Europe, certain vehicle safety regulations apply to automated braking and steering systems, and certain treaties also restrict the legality of certain higher levels of automation, while certain U.S. states have legal restrictions on automation that many other states are also considering. Such regulations continue to rapidly change, which increases the likelihood of varying complex or conflicting regulations or may limit global adoption, impede our strategy, or negatively impact our long-term expectations for our investments in these areas.
Government safety regulations are subject to change based on a number of factors that are not within our control, including new scientific or technological data, adverse publicity regarding the industry, recalls, concerns regarding safety risks of autonomous driving and ADAS, accidents involving our solutions or those of our competitors, domestic and foreign political developments or considerations and litigation relating to our solutions and our competitors’ products. Changes in government regulations, especially those relating to ADAS and autonomous driving, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Regulations governing the automotive industry impose stringent compliance and reporting requirements in response to product recalls and safety issues in the automotive industry, including a duty to report, subject to strict timing requirements, safety defects with, or reports of injuries relating to, our solutions and requirements that a manufacturer recall and repair vehicles that contain safety defects or fail to comply with applicable safety standards. If we do not rapidly address any safety concerns or defects involving our solutions, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
We are subject to risks related to trade policies, sanctions, and import and export controls.
Trade policies and international disputes at times result in increased tariffs, trade barriers and other restrictions, which can increase our manufacturing costs, make our solutions less competitive, reduce demand
 
45

 
for our solutions, limit our ability to sell to certain customers, limit our ability to procure components or raw materials or impede or slow the movement of our goods across borders. Increasing protectionism and economic nationalism may lead to further changes in trade policies and regulations, domestic sourcing initiatives, or other formal and informal measures.
Likewise, national security and foreign policy concerns may prompt governments to impose trade or other restrictions, which could make it more difficult to sell our solutions in, or restrict our access to, certain markets. In this regard, our business activities are subject to various trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control’s sanctions programs and the Export Administration Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. These rules may prohibit or restrict our ability to, directly or indirectly, conduct activities or dealings in or with certain countries or involving certain persons, or otherwise affect our business. New measures imposed by the United States, the European Union, or others could restrict certain of our operations and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Although we take steps to comply with applicable laws and regulations, our failure to successfully comply with applicable sanctions or export control rules may expose us to negative legal and business consequences, including civil or criminal penalties and government investigations.
In particular, in response to Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the European Union, and several other countries are imposing far-reaching sanctions and export control restrictions on Russian entities and individuals. See “— The current conflict between Ukraine and Russia has exacerbated market instability and disrupted the global economy.”
Additionally, tensions between the United States and China have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions, including tariffs applicable to some of our solutions, and have affected customer ordering patterns. In addition to imposing economic sanctions on certain Chinese individuals and entities, the United States has imposed restrictions on the export of U.S.-regulated products and technology to certain Chinese technology companies, including certain of our customers. For example, the United States recently enacted controls on certain transactions involving items for semiconductor manufacturing end uses and advanced computing integrated circuits destined for China. Although we do not believe that these recent controls will materially impede our ability to conduct our business, there can be no assurance that these or future restrictions would not materially adversely affect our financial performance. For example, we derive significant revenue from China. In 2021 and in the six months ended July 2, 2022, we derived approximately 19% and 27%, respectively, of our revenue from shipments of products to China. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions governments may take, which may include trade restrictions and additional or increased tariffs and export controls imposed on short notice, and we may be unable to quickly and effectively react to or mitigate such actions.
Trade disputes and protectionist measures, or continued uncertainty about such matters, could result in declining consumer confidence and slowing economic growth or recession, and could cause our customers to reduce, cancel, or alter the timing of their purchases with us. Sustained geopolitical tensions could lead to long-term changes in global trade and technology supply chains, and decoupling of global trade networks, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Given our international supply chain and distribution, we are subject to import and export laws of multiple countries. Failure to comply with the requirements of such laws may lead to the imposition of additional taxes or duties on imports or exports, fines, or penalties. For example, Israeli customs authorities are conducting an inquiry into certain imports by one of our subsidiaries into Israel. We have been cooperating with the customs authorities and, while no allegations or demands have been made to date related to this inquiry, no assurance can be given as to whether any allegations or demands will be made in the future in this regard. Although based on information currently available to us we do not expect this inquiry or its outcome to materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition, future inquires or investigations and their outcomes relating to, or changes in, import or export laws could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The current conflict between Ukraine and Russia has exacerbated market instability and disrupted the global economy.
The current conflict between Ukraine and Russia has caused uncertainty about economic and political stability, increasing volatility in the credit and financial markets and disrupting the global economy. The
 
46

 
United States, the European Union, and several other countries are imposing far-reaching sanctions and export control restrictions on Russian entities and individuals. These measures could constrain our ability to work with Russian companies or individuals in connection with the development of our solutions in the future. These sanctions and export controls may also contribute to higher oil and gas prices and inflation, which could reduce demand in the global automotive sector and therefore reduce demand for our solutions. There is also a risk that Russia, as a retaliatory action to sanctions, may launch cyberattacks against the United States, the European Union, or other countries or their infrastructures and businesses. Additional consequences of the conflict may include diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, and various shortages and supply chain disruptions. While we do not currently directly rely on goods or services sourced in Russia or Ukraine and thus have not experienced any direct disruptions, we may experience indirect disruptions in our supply chain. Any of the foregoing factors, including developments or effects that we cannot yet predict, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Operations in Israel
Conditions in Israel affect our operations and may limit our ability to produce and sell our solutions.
Although we are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, our headquarters and research and development center are located in the State of Israel, and as of July 2, 2022, substantially all of our equipment and long-lived assets were located in Israel. Many of our employees, including certain members of our management, operate from our offices that are located in Jerusalem, Israel. In addition, a number of our officers and directors are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding region may directly affect our business and operations. In recent years, Israel has been engaged in sporadic armed conflicts with Hamas, an Islamist terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah, an Islamist terrorist group that controls large portions of southern Lebanon, and with Iranian-backed military forces in Syria. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and may be developing nuclear weapons. Some of these hostilities were accompanied by missiles being fired from the Gaza Strip against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, including areas in which our employees are located, and negatively affected business conditions in Israel. Any hostilities involving Israel, regional geopolitical instability or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners as a result thereof could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of certain direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, such coverage would likely be limited, may not be applicable to our business and may not reinstate our loss of revenue or economic losses more generally. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Further, in the past, the State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict doing business with the State of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results, financial condition, or the expansion of our business. A campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel, which could also adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our operations may be disrupted by the obligations of personnel to perform military service.
Some of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israeli military for several days, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for reservists who are military officers or who have certain occupations) and are subject to being called for additional active duty under emergency circumstances. In response to increased tension and hostilities, there have been occasional call-ups of military reservists, and it is possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. We cannot predict the full impact of these conditions on us in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances or an escalation in the political situation occurs. If many of our
 
47

 
employees are called for active duty, our operations in Israel and our business may not be able to function at full capacity, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
The tax benefits that are available to us under Israeli law require us to meet various conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which could increase our costs and taxes.
We believe that our Israeli subsidiary is eligible for certain tax benefits provided to a “Special Preferred Technology Enterprise” under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, and its regulations, as amended (the “Investment Law”), including, inter alia, a reduced corporate tax rate of 6% on Israeli preferred technology taxable income, as defined in the Investment Law. In order to remain eligible for the tax benefits for a Special Preferred Technology Enterprise, our Israeli subsidiary must continue to meet certain conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations, as amended. For example, a Special Preferred Technology Enterprise must be part of a group of companies with aggregate annual revenue of at least 10 billion New Israeli Shekels. If Intel does not maintain sufficient holdings in us so that we are a consolidated group with Intel, and if we do not otherwise meet the revenue requirement as a standalone company, we would no longer meet the consolidated group income requirement to maintain our status as a Special Preferred Technology Enterprise and would instead be considered a Preferred Technology Enterprise, resulting in a higher effective corporate tax rate in Israel. If we fail to meet certain additional conditions stipulated in the Investment Law, including a minimal amount or ratio of annual research and development expenditures and research and development employees, as well as having at least 25% of our annual income derived from exports, we would also lose our status as a Preferred Technology Enterprise, resulting in an even higher effective corporate tax rate in Israel. Additionally, if our Israeli subsidiary increases its activities outside of Israel through acquisitions, then its expanded activities might not be eligible for inclusion in future Israeli tax benefit programs.
It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against our officers and directors named in this prospectus, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our non-U.S. officers and directors.
Not all of our directors or officers are residents of the United States, and most of their and our assets are located outside the United States. Service of process upon our non-U.S. resident directors and officers and enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States against us or our non-U.S. our directors and officers may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Additionally, we have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may be difficult to assert claims under U.S. securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel or obtain a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors because Israel may not be the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, then the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing the matters described above. Additionally, Israeli courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Israel, which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors.
Moreover, an Israeli court will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases), if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel, if it was obtained by fraud or in the absence of due process, if it is at variance with another valid judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel at the time the foreign action was brought.
Risks Related to our Relationship with Intel and our Dual Class Structure
The dual class structure of our common stock will have the effect of concentrating voting control with Intel, and Intel will beneficially own shares of our Class B common stock, representing a majority of the shares of our common stock and approximately 99.4% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock immediately following this offering and the concurrent private placement. This will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters.
Our Class B common stock will have ten votes per share, and our Class A common stock, which is the stock we are offering in this offering and the concurrent private placement, will have one vote per share.
 
48

 
Because of the 10-to-1 voting ratio between our Class B common stock and our Class A common stock, immediately following the offering, Intel, which will be the beneficial holder of 750,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, will beneficially own approximately 99.4% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, assuming no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock (or 99.3% assuming full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock). Because Intel will beneficially hold significantly more than a majority of the combined voting power of our capital stock upon the completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement, it will be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.
As a result, for the foreseeable future, Intel will have significant influence over the management and affairs of our company and over the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of our assets, even if its stock holdings will be significantly diluted to represent less than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders. Intel may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree, and which may be adverse to your interests. This control may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock.”
We expect to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. As a result, we will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance standards. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
So long as more than 50% of the voting power for the election of our directors is held by an individual, a group or another company, we will qualify as a “controlled company” under listing requirements of Nasdaq. After the completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement, Intel will continue to beneficially hold a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules. As a controlled company, we are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, and we currently intend to rely on such exemptions, including those that would otherwise require our Board of Directors to have a majority of independent directors and require that we establish a compensation committee and nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the compensation of our executive officers and nominees for directors are determined or recommended to our Board of Directors by the independent members of our Board. To the extent we continue to rely on one or more of these exemptions, holders of our Class A common stock will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
Our dual class structure may depress the trading price of our Class A common stock.
We cannot predict whether our dual class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common stock or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indexes. S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500. These changes exclude companies with multiple classes of shares of common stock from being added to these indices. In addition, several stockholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of our common stock may prevent the inclusion of our Class A common stock in these indices and may cause stockholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A common stock. Any actions or publications by stockholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A common stock.
 
49

 
We may have conflicts of interest with Intel and, because of (i) certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to related person transactions and corporate opportunities, (ii) agreements we have and will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, and (iii) Intel’s controlling beneficial ownership interest in our company, we may not be able to resolve such conflicts on terms favorable to us.
Conflicts of interest may arise between Intel and us in a number of areas relating to our ongoing relationship. Potential conflicts of interest that we have identified include the following:

Certain of our directors may have conflicts of interest.   Each of Patrick Gelsinger, Christine Pambianchi, and Saf Yeboah-Amankwah serves both as our director and in a senior management role at Intel. Such directors owe fiduciary duties to our company pursuant to Delaware law, but these relationships could create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest when these persons are faced with decisions with potentially different implications for Intel and us.

Sale of shares of our common stock.   Intel may decide to sell all or a portion of our shares that it holds to a third party, including to one of our competitors, thereby giving that third-party substantial influence over our business and our affairs and possibly depressing the trading price of our Class A common stock. Such a sale could be in conflict with your interests. Prior to any such time as our Class B common stock is distributed to security holders of Intel in a transaction (including any distribution in exchange for shares of Intel’s or its successor-in-interest’s common stock or other securities) intended to qualify as a distribution under Section 355 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of any successor statute, shares of our Class B common stock will automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock upon the transfer of such shares of Class B common stock by Intel other than to any of Intel’s successors. See “Description of Capital Stock — Common Stock — Conversion.”

Developing business relationships with Intel’s competitors.   We may from time to time partner with, purchase from, and sell to a number of companies that compete with Intel. These companies may be less willing or unwilling to develop and maintain relationships with us, and may favor our competitors or may view us as competitors, because of our relationship with Intel.

Allocation of business opportunities.   Business opportunities may arise that both we and Intel find attractive, and which would complement our businesses. We may be prevented from taking advantage of new business opportunities that Intel has entered into. Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, until the later of (i) first date on which Intel ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock and (ii) the date upon which none of our officers and/or directors are also officers and/or directors of Intel, (x) we will waive any interest or expectancy in potential transactions presented to our directors and officers who are also directors and/or officers of Intel unless expressly offered to such person in his or her capacity as our director and/or officer, as applicable, and (y) Intel shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to, engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as we do, do business with any of our clients or customers, and employ or otherwise engage any of our officers or employees. See “Description of Capital Stock — Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation Relating to Related Person Transactions and Corporate Opportunities.” We may therefore not be entitled to, and Intel may be entitled to, pursue business opportunities which may otherwise be appropriate for us.

Sale of our products on favorable terms.   Under the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement we will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, so long as Intel holds at least 20% of our common stock, we will sell Intel our commercially available products, including EyeQ® SoCs, for internal use, but not for resale on a standalone or bundled basis. We and Intel will also agree pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement to hold the other in most favored status with respect to products purchased or sold for internal use, meaning that the product prices, terms, warranties, and benefits provided between us and Intel shall be comparable to or better than the equivalent terms being offered by the party providing the products to any single, present customer of such party.

Worldwide and perpetual license to patents.   We are party to an agreement with Intel under which (i) we grant to Intel a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable under certain circumstances, and worldwide license under patents and patent applications owned or
 
50

 
controlled by us, and (ii) Intel grants to us a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and worldwide license, sublicense, or other right, as applicable, under certain patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries and certain third parties. Any license, sublicense, or other right granted by Intel to us with respect to third-party patents and patent applications (or specific claims thereof) included in the grant in clause (ii) may be revoked (effective as of the date specified by Intel) by Intel, in whole or in part, at any time (and automatically terminates once Intel can no longer extend such rights to us under the applicable third-party license agreement), and all licenses, sublicenses or other rights from Intel with respect to patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries included in the grant by Intel to us in clause (ii) automatically terminate once Intel’s ownership of our common stock falls below 50%. The license granted by us to Intel in clause (i) survives even if Intel’s ownership of our common stock falls below 50%, but solely with respect to patents and patent applications owned or controlled by us as of or prior to such time. The agreement will continue until the expiration of the last to expire of the patents and patent applications included in the grants in clauses (i) and (ii), unless earlier terminated by Intel at any time for its convenience. If any of our licenses from Intel were to terminate for any reason, we may be unable to replace such licenses at prices or on terms as favorable as those Intel provides, if at all, and that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Historical Related Party Transactions — Cross-License Agreement.”

Limited license from Intel for certain technology related to lidar.   Intel has granted us a limited license for sensitive core technology relating to lidar pursuant to a LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement. The license is limited to a particular lidar sensor system for ADAS and AV systems in automobiles and to certain types of customers (Tier 1s, OEMs and MaaS). For this purpose, automobile means a vehicle used primarily on public roads for transportation and not for military purposes. The development by us of any future products based on Intel technology will depend on future agreements. We are not licensed to manufacture the product based on Intel technology with anyone other than Intel. Intellectual property developed by us regarding the lidar technology, except for specifically identified lidar system technology which is developed solely by us following the completion of this offering, will be assigned by us to Intel. As a result we will not own most new lidar intellectual property, even if it is developed solely by us. The agreement will have a term of ten years subject to automatic 24-month renewal periods unless notice of nonrenewal is given. Either party may terminate the agreement for any reason by giving 24-month notice to the other party, and additional termination rights arise if Intel shuts down, sells, or transfers the factory operations for silicon photonics or if we cease lidar development or sale, as well as for a party’s material breach or bankruptcy or insolvency. Termination of the agreement would terminate our license and could result in having limited lidar technology and would force us to source third party lidar solutions. Our ability to source lidar cost effectively is an important component of our planned approach to address the AMaaS and consumer AV markets. If we are not able to continue to use or license sensitive core technology related to lidar from Intel, we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner, or at all, and our ability to remain competitive would be harmed, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — If we are unable to develop and introduce new solutions and improve existing solutions in a cost-effective and timely manner, then our competitive position would be negatively impacted and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Intellectual Property Rights — We depend on licenses for certain technologies from third parties, some of which require us to pay royalties, and our inability to use such technologies in the future would harm our ability to remain competitive.” In addition, though there is a limited period of up to five years in which we have exclusive rights to market and sell the initial lidar sensor system for defined uses, the non-compete provisions in the agreement do not preclude Intel from developing similar lidar products with our competitors, or directly competing with us with regard to certain substantially similar lidar products. In addition, the agreement includes limitations on our ability (except after review and approval by Intel) to file a patent application based on or using the lidar intellectual property licensed to us under the agreement, or information in Intel’s lidar patents during the term of the agreement and for five years after the completion of the development of the last Mobileye lidar product. See “Certain Relationship and Related Party Transactions — Transactions to be Entered into in Connection with this Offering — Intercompany Agreements — LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement.”

Limited license from Intel for certain technology related to radar.   Intel has granted us a limited license for sensitive core technology relating to radar pursuant to a Technology and Services Agreement. The license is limited to the development of a specific type of radar for specific applications. Any radar products which do not comply with this definition will require a separate license from Intel, at Intel’s discretion. Intellectual property developed under the agreement, either solely or jointly with Intel, regarding the radar technology, except for certain rights to specifically identified radar technology which is developed solely by us following the completion of this offering, will be assigned by us to Intel. As a result we will not own most new radar intellectual property, even if it is developed solely by us. If we are unable to continue to use or license sensitive core technology related to radar from Intel, we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner, or at all, and our ability to remain competitive would be harmed, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — If we are unable to develop and introduce new solutions and improve existing solutions in a cost-effective and timely manner, then our competitive position would be negatively impacted and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Intellectual Property Rights — We depend on licenses for certain technologies from third parties, some of which require us to pay royalties, and our inability to use such technologies in the future would harm our ability to remain competitive.” We are licensed to sell the radar products only for ADAS and AV solutions for automobiles and to certain types of customers (Tier1s, OEMs, MaaS). The Technology and Services Agreement will have a term of two years, and will automatically renew for one-year renewal periods, unless the agreement is terminated for a party’s material breach, a party’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or advance notice of nonrenewal is given, however, termination of the agreement does not affect certain licenses granted to us by Intel in respect of the radar product. In addition, the agreement includes limitations on our ability (except after review and approval by Intel) to file a patent application based on or using the radar intellectual property licensed to us under the agreement, or information in Intel’s radar patents during the term of the agreement and for five years after the completion of the development of the last Mobileye sensor product. See “Certain Relationship and Related Party Transactions — Transactions to be Entered into in Connection with this Offering — Intercompany Agreements — Technology and Services Agreement.”
Intel will continue to beneficially hold a majority of the voting power of our common stock and we and Intel expect to continue as strategic partners, collaborating on projects to pursue the growth of computing in the automotive sector. Intel may from time to time make strategic decisions that it believes are in the best interests of its business as a whole, including our company. These decisions may be different from the decisions that we would have made on our own. Intel’s decisions with respect to us or our business, including any related party transactions between Intel and us, may be resolved in ways that favor Intel and its stockholders, which may not coincide with the interests of our other stockholders.
Although we intend to enter into the Tax Sharing Agreement with Intel under which our tax liabilities effectively will be determined based upon, subject to certain assumptions, our and/or our subsidiaries’ assets and activities, we nonetheless could be held liable for the tax liabilities of other members of any consolidated, combined or unitary tax group of Intel and/or its subsidiaries.
We have historically been included in Intel’s consolidated group (the “Consolidated Group”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as in certain consolidated, combined, or unitary groups that include Intel and/or certain of its subsidiaries for state and local income tax purposes (each, a “Combined Group”). We intend to enter into the Tax Sharing Agreement with Intel that will become effective upon completion of this offering. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, we generally will make payments to Intel such that, with respect to tax returns for any taxable period in which we or any of our subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group, the amount of taxes to be paid by us will be determined by computing the excess (if any) of any taxes due on any such return over the amount that would otherwise be due if such return were recomputed by excluding us and/or our included subsidiaries.
We have previously been included in the Consolidated Group for the most recent annual period and expect to be included in the Consolidated Group following this offering. Each member of a consolidated
 
52

 
group during any part of a consolidated return year is jointly and severally liable for tax on the consolidated return of such year and for any subsequently determined deficiency thereon. Similarly, in some jurisdictions, each member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group for state, local, or foreign income tax purposes is jointly and severally liable for the state, local, or foreign income tax liability of each other member of the consolidated, combined or unitary group. Accordingly, for any period in which we are included in the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group, we could be liable in the event that any income tax liability was incurred, but not discharged, by any other member of any such group.
In order to preserve the ability for Intel to distribute its shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to a tax-free spin-off under U.S. federal income tax law, we may be prevented from pursuing opportunities to raise capital, effectuate acquisitions, or provide equity incentives to our employees, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, in order to consummate a tax-free spin-off of our stock, Intel would need to have beneficial ownership of our stock representing at least 80% of the total voting power and 80% of each class of non-voting capital stock. As of the date of this prospectus, Intel does not intend or plan to undertake a spin-off of our stock to Intel stockholders. Nevertheless, if Intel were to decide to pursue a possible spin-off, we have agreed to cooperate with Intel and to take any and all actions reasonably requested by Intel in connection with such a transaction. Our rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to any possible spin-off are set forth in the Master Transaction Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement. For example, in the event Intel completes a spin-off, we have agreed not to take certain actions, such as asset sales or contributions, mergers, stock issuances, or stock sales within the two years following the spin-off without first obtaining the opinion of tax counsel or an IRS ruling to the effect that such actions will not result in the spin-off failing to qualify as a tax-free spin-off. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Intercompany Agreements — Master Transaction Agreement” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Intercompany Agreements — Tax Sharing Agreement.” Additionally, under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, until the first date on which Intel ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, the prior affirmative vote or written consent of Intel, as the holder of the Class B common stock, is required in order to authorize us to issue any stock or other equity securities except to our subsidiaries, pursuant to this offering, or pursuant to our employee benefit plans limited to a share reserve of 5% of the outstanding number of shares of our common stock on the immediately preceding December 31. Intel’s intention to retain its ability to effectuate a tax-free spin-off of our stock may cause Intel to decide not to consent to such issuances. See “— Certain corporate actions by us would require the prior consent of Intel, and there can be no guarantee that Intel will consent to such matters, even if they are in our best interests.” These requirements could prevent us from pursuing opportunities to raise capital, effectuate acquisitions, or provide equity incentives to our employees, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Certain corporate actions by us would require the prior consent of Intel, and there can be no guarantee that Intel will consent to such actions, even if they are in our best interests.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, in addition to any other vote required by law or by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, until the first date on which Intel ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, the prior affirmative vote or written consent of Intel as the holder of the Class B common stock is required in order to authorize us to take certain corporate actions. See “Description of Capital Stock — Common Stock —  Approval Rights of Holders of Class B Common Stock.” There can be no guarantee that Intel will consent to such actions, even if they are in our best interests.
We have historically utilized and upon completion of this offering plan to continue to utilize various administrative services and licenses provided by Intel, and if we are unable to continue utilizing such services and/or licenses we may fail to replace them at prices or on terms as favorable as those Intel provides. In addition, we have granted Intel a worldwide and perpetual license to our patents and patent applications.
We have historically utilized various administrative, financial, and other services provided by Intel. In addition, we are party to an agreement with Intel under which (i) we grant to Intel a royalty-free, nonexclusive,
 
53

 
nontransferable, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable under certain circumstances, and worldwide license under patents and patent applications owned or controlled by us, and (ii) Intel grants to us a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and worldwide license, sublicense, or other right, as applicable, under certain patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries and certain third parties. Any license, sublicense, or other right granted by Intel to us with respect to third-party patents and patent applications (or specific claims thereof) included in the grant in clause (ii) may be revoked (effective as of the date specified by Intel) by Intel, in whole or in part, at any time (and automatically terminates once Intel can no longer extend such rights to us under the applicable third-party license agreement), and all licenses, sublicenses or other rights from Intel with respect to patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries included in the grant by Intel to us in clause (ii) automatically terminate once Intel’s ownership of our common stock falls below 50%. The license granted by us to Intel in clause (i) survives even if Intel’s ownership of our common stock falls below 50%, but solely with respect to patents and patent applications owned or controlled by us as of or prior to such time. The agreement will continue until the expiration of the last to expire of the patents and patent applications included in the grants in clauses (i) and (ii), unless earlier terminated by Intel at any time for its convenience. If any of our licenses from Intel were to terminate for any reason, we may be unable to replace such licenses at prices or on terms as favorable as those Intel provides, if at all, and that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Historical Related Party Transactions — Cross-License Agreement.”
Following the completion of this offering, Intel will continue to provide us with administrative, financial, legal, tax, and other services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement and certain technologies and products that may be used in the development, manufacture, and commercialization of our solutions pursuant to the Technology and Services Agreement and LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” If we are unable to maintain these contractual relationships with Intel, we may fail to replace such services and/or licenses at prices or on terms as favorable as those Intel provides, and that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Related to this Offering and Our Class A Common Stock
An active trading market for our Class A common stock may never develop or be sustained, which may cause shares of our Class A common stock to trade at a discount from the initial public offering price and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.
Since Intel has completed its acquisition of us, prior to this offering, there has not been a public trading market for shares of our Class A common stock. It is possible that an active trading market for our Class A common stock will not develop or, if developed, not be sustained, which would make it difficult for you to sell your shares of Class A common stock at an attractive price or at all. The initial public offering price per share of our Class A common stock will be determined by agreement between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of the price at which shares of our Class A common stock will trade in the public market after this offering. The market price of our Class A common stock may decline below the initial public offering price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our Class A common stock at or above the price you paid in this offering or at all.
The market price of our Class A common stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The stock market in general has been, and the market price of our Class A common stock specifically is, subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results and financial condition. The market price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

announcements by regulators and other safety organizations regarding ADAS, autonomous driving and related technology;

publicized accidents involving ADAS and autonomous driving technology, whether developed by us or our competitors;

market acceptance of our solutions;
 
54

 

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our management, employees, customers, and operating results;

announcements of the results of research and development projects by us or our competitors;

announcements by others relating to autonomous driving technology and its adoption by OEMs;

development of new competitive systems and products by others;

changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

developments concerning our intellectual property rights;

loss of key personnel, particularly Professor Shashua;

changes in the cost of satisfying our warranty obligations;

loss of key customers;

disruptions to our and the global supply chain;

macroeconomic irregularities such as worsening inflationary trends, volatile interest rates and labor shortages;

delays between our expenditures to develop and market new or enhanced products and the generation of sales from those products;

changes in the amount that we spend to develop, acquire, or license new products, technologies, or businesses;

changes in our research and development and operating expenditures;

variations in our and our competitors’ results of operations and financial condition;

our sale or proposed sale or the sale or proposed sale by Intel (or other actions taken by Intel) or other significant stockholders of our common stock or other securities in the future; and

general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance.
In addition, the Cornerstone Investors have, severally and not jointly, indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of $330 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price and on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers in this offering. In addition, Professor Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price. Because these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the Cornerstone Investors and/or Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to any of the Cornerstone Investors or Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering. If any of the Cornerstone Investors and/or Professor Shashua are allocated a portion or all of, or more than, the shares of Class A common stock in which they have indicated an interest in purchasing in this offering, their election to purchase any such shares could reduce the available public float for our Class A common stock.
These factors and any corresponding price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our shares of Class A common stock and result in substantial losses being incurred by our investors. Market prices for securities of technology companies historically have been very volatile. The market for these securities has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of any one company. In the past, following periods of market volatility, public company stockholders have often instituted securities class action litigation in the United States. If we were involved in securities litigation, then it could impose a substantial cost upon us and divert the resources and attention of our management from our business.
We have broad discretion over the use of net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement, and we may not use them effectively.
We intend to use the net proceeds that we receive from this offering and the concurrent private placement as follows: (i) to retain for working capital and general corporate purposes a portion of the net
 
55

 
proceeds in such amount as is necessary so that Intel ensures that, immediately after completion of this offering and on a pro forma as adjusted basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness of Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), we have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities, in accordance with the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement; and (ii) to use the remainder to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note. On a pro forma as adjusted basis as of July 2, 2022, the portion of net proceeds retained by us would have been approximately $226 million and the portion of net proceeds used to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note would have been approximately $0.6 billion (or $0.7 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The actual amount of net proceeds retained will be based upon the estimated balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the closing date of this offering, which balance may be higher or lower than the pro forma balance as of July 2, 2022. Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement, so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement allocated for working capital and general corporate purposes, and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether such proceeds are being used appropriately. The failure by our management to apply these proceeds effectively could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Other than in connection with the Reorganization, we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends for the foreseeable future.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and stock exchange rules promulgated in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. After the completion of this offering, we will be obligated to file with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports that are specified in the Exchange Act, and therefore will need to have the ability to prepare financial statements that are compliant with all SEC reporting requirements on a timely basis.
In addition, we will be subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements of Nasdaq and certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which will impose significant compliance obligations upon us. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required, and management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns.
Furthermore, though we have been indirectly subject to these requirements previously as a subsidiary of Intel, we might not be successful in implementing these requirements. The increased costs of compliance with public company reporting requirements and our potential failure to satisfy these requirements could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Failure to establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require management to certify financial and
 
56

 
other information in our quarterly and annual reports and, beginning in the first full fiscal year after the completion of this offering, provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, to which our auditors will need to attest in accordance with guidelines set forth by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). We may in the future identify material weaknesses when evaluating our internal control over financial reporting that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Testing and maintaining our internal control over financial reporting may also divert management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, then we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and any remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations. Moreover, any material weakness or other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting may impede our ability to file timely and accurate reports with the SEC. Any of the above could cause a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. In addition, we may be required to incur costs in improving our internal control system and the hiring of additional personnel. Any such action could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Investors in this offering and the concurrent private placement will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The initial public offering price is substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this offering. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, then, based on the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and the issuance by us of 46,263,158 shares of Class A common stock in this offering and the concurrent private placement, you will experience immediate dilution of $17.45 per share, the difference between the price per share you pay for our Class A common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock as of July 2, 2022 after giving effect to this offering. Furthermore, if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, if we issue awards to our employees under our equity incentive plans or if we otherwise issue additional shares of our Class A common stock, then you could experience further dilution. As a result of the dilution to investors purchasing shares in this offering, investors may receive less than the purchase price paid in this offering and the concurrent private placement, if anything, in the event of our liquidation. See “Dilution.”
If securities and industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, then the stock price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline.
The trading market for our Class A common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities and industry analysts publish about us and our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, cover our company. If securities and industry analysts do not commence coverage of our company following this offering, then the stock price of our Class A common stock would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Class A common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, then the stock price of our Class A common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, then demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause the stock price and trading volume of our Class A common stock to decline.
The issuance by us of additional equity securities may dilute your ownership and adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.
After this offering and the concurrent private placement and the use of proceeds to us therefrom, we will have an aggregate of 3,953,736,842 authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue shares of Class A common stock and rights relating to Class A common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our board of directors in its sole discretion, whether in connection with acquisitions or
 
57

 
otherwise. In addition, under the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement we will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering, we will grant Intel a continuing right to purchase from us such number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock as is necessary for Intel to maintain an aggregate ownership of our common stock representing at least 80.1% of our common stock outstanding following the completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Transactions to be Entered into in Connection with this Offering — Intercompany Agreements — Master Transaction Agreement.” Any common stock that we issue, including under our equity incentive plan or in connection with the Master Transaction Agreement, would dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase Class A common stock in this offering.
In the future, we may attempt to obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuing additional shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into shares of our Class A common stock or by offering debt or other securities. We could also issue shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into our Class A common stock or debt or other securities in connection with acquisitions or other strategic transactions. Issuing additional shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into shares of our Class A common stock or debt or other securities may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders and would likely reduce the market price of our Class A common stock.
Upon liquidation, holders of debt securities and preferred shares, if issued, and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive a distribution of our distributable assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Debt securities convertible into equity securities could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred shares, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distribution or preferences with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, and nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of our Class A common stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our Class A common stock and dilute their stockholdings in us.
Delaware law and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that will be in effect at the completion of this offering could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult, thereby adversely affecting the market price of our common stock.
Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we will opt out of the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) upon the completion of this offering. If Intel’s holdings in our stock are reduced so that Intel no longer maintains at least 15% of the combined voting power of our common stock, then we will no longer opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL, which could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult, including the following:

our dual class common stock structure, which provides Intel, as the holder of our Class B common stock, with the ability to significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the shares of our outstanding common stock;

if Intel’s holdings in our stock are reduced so that it no longer maintains a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock, our stockholders will only be able to take action at a meeting of stockholders and not by written consent;

vacancies on our board of directors will be able to be filled only by our board of directors and not by stockholders, provided, however, that vacancies on our board of directors caused by an action of stockholders may only be filled by a vote of the stockholders until Intel’s holdings in our stock are reduced so that it no longer maintains a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock;
 
58

 

beginning at the first annual meeting of stockholders following any such time that Intel’s holdings in our stock no longer represent at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of our outstanding common stock, our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms;

beginning at the first annual meeting of stockholders following any such time that Intel’s holdings in our stock no longer represent at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of our outstanding common stock, directors will only be able to be removed from office for cause;

so long as Intel’s holdings in our stock represent at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of our outstanding common stock, consent by holders of a majority of our Class B common stock will be required for consolidations or mergers;

no provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws provides for cumulative voting, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

only the Chairman of our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer, or our Secretary upon written request by a majority of our Board of Directors are authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders;

our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that certain litigation against us can only be brought in Delaware unless we otherwise consent;

nothing in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation precludes future issuances without approval by holders of shares of our Class A common stock of the authorized but unissued shares of our common stock, though approval by holders of a majority of our Class B common stock will be required for such issuances for so long as Intel’s holdings in our stock represent at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of outstanding common stock, subject to certain exclusions;

our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued, without the approval of the holders of our capital stock; and

advance notice procedures apply for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders.
These anti-takeover defenses could discourage, delay, or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors of their choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions they desire, any of which, under certain circumstances, could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Class A common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain exclusive forum provisions for certain claims, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will be in effect upon completion of this offering, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or (4) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. As described below, this provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or Exchange Act, or rules and regulations thereunder.
 
59

 
Moreover, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the federal district courts of the United States will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our decision to adopt such a federal forum provision followed a decision by the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware holding that such provisions are facially valid under Delaware law. While there can be no assurance that federal or state courts will follow the holding of the Delaware Supreme Court or determine that our federal forum provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of our federal forum provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court.
Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that neither the exclusive forum provision nor our federal forum provision applies to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the federal forum provision. Additionally, our stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. These provisions may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees and agents. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.
General Risks
Changes in our effective tax rates may reduce our net income.
A number of factors can increase our effective tax rates, which could reduce our net income, including:

changes in the volume and mix of profits earned and location of assets across jurisdictions with varying tax rates and the associated impacts of legislative actions affecting multi-national enterprises;

changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and in associated deferred tax asset valuation allowance;

adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of tax returns;

increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, including equity-based compensation or impairments of goodwill;

changes in available tax credits;

changes in our ability to secure new, or renew existing, tax holidays and incentives;

changes in U.S. federal, state, or foreign tax laws or their interpretation, including changes in the U.S. to the taxation of non-U.S. income and expenses and changes resulting from the adoption by countries of OECD recommendations or other legislative actions;

changes in accounting standards; and

those described under “Risks Related to Operations in Israel — The tax benefits that are available to us under Israeli law require us to meet various conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which could increase our costs and taxes.”

Global or regional conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We and our suppliers have manufacturing, assembly and testing, research and development, sales and other operations in Israel and several other countries, and some of our business activities are concentrated in one or more geographic areas. Moreover, 74% of our total revenue in 2021 was derived outside of the United States, with China, Germany, and the United Kingdom making up 19%, 19%, and 14%, of such revenue respectively, based on the location of the customer to which the product was shipped. For the six months ended July 2, 2022, 73% of our revenue was derived outside of the United States, with China, Germany, and the United Kingdom making up 27%, 13%, and 12%, of such revenue respectively, based on the location of the customer to which the product was shipped. As a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition, including our ability to produce, assemble, test, design, develop, or sell products, and the demand for our solutions, are at times adversely affected by a number of global and regional factors outside of our control.
Adverse changes in global or regional economic conditions periodically occur, including recession or slowing growth, changes, or uncertainty in fiscal, monetary, or trade policy, higher interest rates, tighter credit, inflation, lower capital expenditures by businesses including on IT infrastructure, increases in unemployment and lower consumer confidence and spending. For example, the U.S. economy experienced negative growth during the first two quarters of 2022, and the rate of economic growth in Europe, China, and globally is expected to slow in 2022. This economic slowdown is expected to continue into 2023. Adverse changes in economic conditions can significantly harm demand for our solutions and make it more challenging to forecast our operating results and make business decisions, including regarding prioritization of investments in our business. An economic downturn or increased uncertainty may also lead to increased credit and collectability risks, higher borrowing costs or reduced availability of capital markets, reduced liquidity, adverse impacts on our suppliers, failures of counterparties including financial institutions and insurers, asset impairments and declines in the value of our financial instruments.
We can be adversely affected by other global and regional factors that periodically occur, including:

geopolitical and security issues, such as armed conflict and civil or military unrest, political instability, human rights concerns and terrorist activity;

natural disasters, public health issues (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and other catastrophic events;

inefficient infrastructure and other disruptions, such as supply chain interruptions and large-scale outages or unreliable provision of services from utilities, transportation, data hosting or telecommunications providers;

formal or informal imposition of new or revised export, import or doing-business regulations, including trade sanctions, tariffs, and changes in the ability to obtain export licenses, which could be changed without notice;

government restrictions on, or nationalization of, our operations in any country, or restrictions on our ability to repatriate earnings from a particular country;

adverse changes relating to government grants, tax credits or other government incentives, including more favorable incentives provided to competitors;

differing employment practices and labor issues;

ineffective legal protection of our intellectual property rights in certain countries;

local business and cultural factors that differ from our current standards and practices;

continuing uncertainty regarding social, political, immigration and tax and trade policies; and

fluctuations in the market values of any of our investments, which can be negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration or losses, interest rate changes, financial results, political risk, sovereign risk, or other factors.
Catastrophic events can adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our operations and business, and those of our customers and direct and indirect vendors and suppliers of OEMs, can be disrupted by natural disasters, industrial accidents, public health issues (including the
 
61

 
COVID-19 pandemic), cybersecurity incidents, interruptions of service from utilities, transportation, telecommunications or IT systems providers, production equipment failures or other catastrophic events. For example, we have at times experienced disruptions in our production processes as a result of power outages, improperly functioning equipment, and disruptions in supply of raw materials or components, including due to cybersecurity incidents affecting our suppliers. Global climate change can result in certain natural disasters occurring more frequently or with greater intensity, such as drought, wildfires, storms, sea-level rise, and flooding. The long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and the IT industry in particular are unclear, but could be severe.
Catastrophic events could make it difficult or impossible to produce or deliver products to our customers, receive production materials from our suppliers or perform critical functions, which could adversely affect our revenue and require significant recovery time and expenditures to resume operations. While we maintain business recovery plans, some of our systems are not fully redundant and we cannot be sure that our plans will fully protect us from such disruptions. Furthermore, even if our operations are unaffected or recover quickly, if our customers or suppliers cannot timely resume their own operations due to a catastrophic event, we may experience reduced or cancelled orders or disruptions to our supply chain that would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We are covered by Intel’s insurance coverage for a variety of property, casualty, and other risks. The types and amounts of our insurance coverage vary depending on availability, cost, and decisions with respect to risk retention. Some of the policies under which we are covered have large deductibles and broad exclusions. In addition, one or more insurance providers may be unable or unwilling to pay a claim. Intel may also discontinue our insurance coverage and we may be unable to find replacement insurance on acceptable terms or at all, or claims by Intel under these policies may exhaust the available policy limits. Losses not covered by insurance may be large, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement of approximately $0.8 billion (or approximately $0.9 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share of Class A common stock (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus).
We intend to use the net proceeds that we receive from this offering and the concurrent private placement as follows: (i) to retain for working capital and general corporate purposes a portion of the net proceeds in such amount as is necessary so that Intel ensures that, immediately after completion of this offering and on a pro forma as adjusted basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness of Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), we have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities immediately after the completion of this offering, in accordance with the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement we will enter into with Intel in connection with this offering; and (ii) to use the remainder to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note. On a pro forma as adjusted basis as of July 2, 2022, the portion of net proceeds retained by us would have been approximately $226 million and the portion of net proceeds used to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note would have been approximately $0.6 billion (or $0.7 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The actual amount of net proceeds retained will be based upon the estimated balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the closing date of this offering, which balance may be higher or lower than the pro forma balance as of July 2, 2022. Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement, so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement. The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum. The Dividend Note is being issued in connection with our Reorganization, as described under “Prospectus Summary — Reorganization.”
A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price per share would increase (decrease) the estimated net proceeds to us from this offering and the concurrent private placement by approximately $39.4 million assuming that the number of shares of our Class A common stock sold by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares of our Class A common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering and the concurrent private placement by approximately $18.2 million, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

DIVIDEND POLICY
In connection with the Reorganization, on April 21, 2022, we distributed to Intel the Dividend Note, pursuant to which we have agreed to pay Intel an aggregate of $3.5 billion. We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds that we receive from this offering to repay indebtedness under the Dividend Note. Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement, so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement. See “Use of Proceeds.” In connection with the Reorganization, on May 12, 2022, we declared and paid the Dividend in an aggregate amount of $336 million to Intel, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations.
Following the completion of this offering, we intend to retain any future earnings and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to this Offering and Our Class A Common Stock — We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.”
Any declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, including restrictive covenants contained in certain of our subsidiaries’ credit facilities, and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.
Under Delaware law, dividends may be payable only out of surplus, which is calculated as our net assets less our liabilities and our capital, or, if we have no surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

DILUTION
If you invest in shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock upon the completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement. Dilution results from the fact that the per share offering price of the shares of our Class A common stock is substantially in excess of the pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering and the concurrent private placement.
Our net tangible book value as of July 2, 2022 was $(2,499) million. Net tangible book value represents total tangible assets less total liabilities. Tangible assets represent total assets excluding goodwill and other intangible assets and capitalized offering costs. Net tangible book value per share represents net tangible book value divided by the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to this offering and the concurrent private placement.
After giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”, our pro forma net tangible book value as of July 2, 2022 would have been approximately $(2,499) million, or approximately $(3.33) per share of common stock. After giving effect to these pro forma adjustments, including the sale of 41,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock in this offering (assuming the underwriters do not exercise the option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock) and the sale of 5,263,158 shares of our Class A common stock in the concurrent private placement at an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share of common stock (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and the application of such net proceeds as described under “Use of Proceeds,” our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of July 2, 2022 would have been approximately $1,236 million, or approximately $1.55 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $4.88 per share of common stock to our existing stockholder and an immediate dilution (i.e., the difference between the offering price and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering) to investors participating in this offering and the concurrent private placement of $17.45 per share of common stock.
The following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors participating in this offering:

The following table summarizes on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of July 2, 2022, the total number of shares of common stock owned by our existing stockholder and to be owned by the investors participating in this offering and the concurrent private placement, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid by our existing stockholder and to be paid by the investors participating in this offering at $19.00 per share of Class A common stock, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, calculated before deducting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses:

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of July 2, 2022 by $0.00 million, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $0.00 per share and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering by $1.00 per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
A 1.0 million share increase (decrease) in the number of shares of Class A common stock offered by us would increase (decrease), as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of July 2, 2022 by $0.00, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share by $0.00 per share and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering by $0.00 per share, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full at the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, assuming the number of shares offered by us (as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering and the concurrent private placement would be approximately $1.54 per share, and the dilution per share to investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering would be approximately $17.46 per share.
Immediately following the completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement, our issued and outstanding common stock will be held as follows: 46,263,158 shares of our Class A common stock (or 52,413,158 if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full), representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, will be held by investors in this offering and the concurrent private placement, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus); and 750,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, will be beneficially owned by Intel.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consists of an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 2, 2022, and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022, and the year ended December 25, 2021.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 2, 2022, presents Mobileye Group’s combined financial position after giving pro forma effect to certain transactions, as described below, this offering and the use of the net proceeds from this offering, as described below (collectively, the “Transactions”), as if the Transactions occurred on July 2, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022, and the year ended December 25, 2021 present Mobileye Group’s combined results of operations after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions occurred on December 27, 2020, the first day of fiscal year 2021.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in conformity with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and is based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an illustrative understanding of Mobileye Global Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries upon consummation of the Transactions. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of financial results that would have been attained had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated above and does not project our results of operations or financial position for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not give effect to the potential impact of any operating synergies or cost savings that may result from the Transactions. Our future results of operations or financial position may vary significantly from the results reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and should not be relied on as an indication of our results after the consummation of the Transactions. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Relationship with Intel and Our Dual Class Structure —Our historical financial information may not be representative of our results as an independent public company.” However, we believe that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the effects of the Transactions as contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The Reorganization and This Offering
In connection with this offering, Mobileye Global Inc., the issuer, was incorporated to serve as the holding company that owns Mobileye Group. The following transactions were completed as part of the Reorganization:

the legal purchase by us from Intel of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities, which we completed on May 31, 2022;

the recruitment of certain employees and acquisition of certain assets, in each case, relating to the Mobileye business from Intel, which we have substantially completed as of July 2, 2022;

the declaration and payment of the Dividend, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations, which we completed on May 12, 2022; and

the distribution on April 21, 2022 to Intel of the Dividend Note.
The $900 million payable from us to Intel for the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities referenced above, which we completed on May 31, 2022 (the “Moovit Purchase”), is presented within related party payable on the balance sheet in our historical combined financial statements. As further described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Loan Arrangements,” there is, as of July 2, 2022, an approximately $901 million related party receivable from Intel to Mobileye under the Bilateral Loan Arrangements (as defined in that section), and we plan to settle
 
71

 
the $900 million related party payable for the Moovit Purchase with cash to be received from Intel’s payment of such amount it owes to us under the Bilateral Loan Arrangement. The $900 million payment to Intel for the Moovit Purchase, and the payment to Mobileye of such related party receivable from Intel, are expected to occur substantially concurrently. The timing of the $900 million payment from us to Intel for the Moovit Purchase remains to be determined between us and Intel primarily based on certain tax considerations and is not tied to the timing of the Reorganization or this offering.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the impact of certain transactions, which comprise the following:

the legal entity reorganization of our operations comprising the Mobileye Group business so that they are all under the single parent entity, Mobileye Global Inc., and the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;

restricted stock units will be awarded to employees; and

the execution of the Intercompany Agreements with Intel, whereby, among other matters, Intel will continue to provide certain administrative and operational services, including the supply and license of certain technologies, whereby we will supply Intel with certain technologies, and whereby Intel’s and our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to all tax matters will be governed (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax audits).
Other events we expect to occur in connection with the offering are summarized below:

the sale by us of 41,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock in this offering (assuming the underwriters do not exercise the option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock) and the sale by us of 5,263,158 shares of our Class A common stock in the concurrent private placement at an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us; and

the use of a significant portion of the net proceeds that we receive from this offering and the concurrent private placement to repay approximately $0.6 billion (or $0.7 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full) of indebtedness under the Dividend Note so that we retain the amount of net proceeds in accordance with the Master Transaction Agreement which requires that Intel ensure that, immediately after completion of this offering and on a pro forma basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness of Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), we have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities. On a pro forma as adjusted basis as of July 2, 2022, the portion of net proceeds retained by us would have been approximately $226 million. Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement, so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement.
Furthermore, immediately after completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement and on a pro forma basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness by us to Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), the Master Transaction Agreement provides that Intel will ensure that we will have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities.
The historical combined financial information has been derived from the combined financial statements of Mobileye Group and accompanying notes to the combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Mobileye Global Inc. was formed in January 2022 and has no, and will not have any, material assets or results of operations until the completion of the Reorganization. Therefore, its historical financial information is not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Following this offering, Mobileye Global Inc. will be a holding company with no operations and no material assets of its own other than its ownership interest in Mobileye Group.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
1.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 2, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on July 2, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and the year ended December 25, 2021 gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on December 27, 2020, the first day of fiscal year 2021.
Mobileye has largely continued to operate as a standalone business and has not been fully integrated into Intel. Management believes the pro forma adjustments to reflect the operations and financial position of Mobileye as an autonomous entity under Regulation S-X are not expected to be material. We estimate that the total costs of doing business to operate as an autonomous entity under the Intercompany Agreements will reasonably approximate the total costs that have been attributed and allocated to our historical combined financial statements. Accordingly, we have not presented autonomous entity pro forma adjustments.
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments based on information available as of the date of this prospectus. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented as additional information becomes available. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings or operating synergies that may result from the Transactions.
2.
Adjustments Reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The Company made the following pro forma adjustments and assumptions in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet:
(A)   Reflects the elimination of parent net investment and establishment of 100 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, with a par value of $0.01 per share, and additional paid-in capital in connection with the legal entity reorganization and contribution of the Mobileye Group business from Intel to Mobileye Global Inc. The 100 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding will then be reclassified into 100 shares of Class B common stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering, with a par value of $0.01 per share. Concurrently, Intel will be issued an additional 749,999,900 shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to the Contribution and Subscription Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Transactions to be Entered into in Connection with this Offering — Contribution and Subscription Agreement.”
(B)   Reflects the receipt of net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement of approximately $0.8 billion (or approximately $0.9 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share of Class A common stock (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus).
(C)   Reflects the settlement of the Dividend Note of approximately $0.6 billion using a significant portion of the net proceeds raised from this offering and the concurrent private placement. Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement.
Immediately after completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement and on a pro forma basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness by us to Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), Intel agrees to ensure that we will have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities.
 
77

 
(D)   Reflects the direct and incremental transaction costs of this offering that are being reclassified into equity upon the completion of this offering. As of July 2, 2022, the Company capitalized $14 million of deferred offering costs within other long-term assets.
The Company made the following pro forma adjustments and assumptions in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and the year ended December 25, 2021:
(E)   Reflects stock-based compensation of approximately $264.5 million related to restricted stock units that will be awarded to employees upon completion of this offering. The estimated grant date fair value of these stock awards will be recognized ratably over the service periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), 13,921,053 shares of our Class A common stock are expected to be issuable upon the vesting of such restricted stock units, with the actual number of shares to be issuable calculated based on the actual initial public offering price. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.
(F)   Reflects the elimination of interest expense in connection with the paydown of approximately $0.6 billion under the Dividend Note using a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement and the contribution by Intel of the remaining portion of the Dividend Note.
(G)   The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments as based on the statutory rate in effect for the historical periods presented, taking into consideration the associated valuation allowance impacts.
(H)   Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method. Participation rights in undistributed earnings are equal between Class A and Class B common stock. Pro forma weighted-average shares outstanding is based on the number of shares of our common stock expected to be outstanding following this offering. The calculation includes shares of our Class B common stock assumed issued to Intel as part of the Reorganization, shares of our Class A common stock assumed to be sold in this offering, shares of our Class A common stock to be sold in the concurrent private placement and vested shares related to grants of restricted stock units pursuant to their respective vesting schedules, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus). Diluted weighted-average pro forma shares is the same as basic weighted-average pro forma shares because potentially dilutive options to purchase additional common shares was not assumed to have been exercised if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
78

 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 were 52-week fiscal years; fiscal year 2022 is a 53-week fiscal year. The additional week in fiscal year 2022 is added to the first quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Any references to our performance for the years 2021, 2020, and 2019 are references to our fiscal years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, respectively. Our historical financial data has been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Intel using the historical results of operations and the historical basis of assets and liabilities. The financial data herein includes costs of our business, which may not, however, reflect the expenses we would have incurred as a stand-alone company for the periods presented.
Overview
Mobileye is a leader in the development and deployment of ADAS and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. We pioneered ADAS technology more than 20 years ago and have continuously expanded the scope of our ADAS offerings, while leading the evolution to autonomous driving solutions.
Our portfolio of solutions is built upon a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies designed to provide the capabilities needed to make the future of ADAS and autonomous driving a reality. These technologies can be harnessed to deliver mission-critical capabilities at the edge and in the cloud, advancing the safety of road users, and revolutionizing the driving experience and the movement of people and goods globally.
As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins. These estimates are based on projections of future production volumes that were provided by the OEMs at the time of sourcing our design wins with them for the models related to those design wins. These estimates may deviate from actual production volumes (which may be higher or lower than the estimates) and do not include design wins after October 1, 2022. We currently ship a variety of ADAS solutions to 13 of the 15 largest automakers in the world in addition to many smaller OEMs, and we are recognized for our top-rated safety solutions globally. For example, 66% of Euro New Car Assessment Programs (“NCAP”) 5-star rated vehicle models for 2018-2021 are equipped with our solutions.
In January 2022, we announced a design win of our consumer AV system, Mobileye Chauffeur™, with ZEEKR, Geely Group’s premium electric vehicle brand. Mobileye Chauffeur is expected to be capable of “eyes-off/hands-free” driving with a human driver still in the driver’s seat, in a gradually expanding operational driving domain, and is expected to use surrounding imaging radars and front-facing lidar, but may require driver intervention in certain situations. We believe that this is an early sign of broad interest in consumer-level eyes-off/hands-free driving. Building upon Mobileye Chauffeur™, we are developing Mobileye Drive™, our Level 4 self-driving system targeted for fleet-owned AMaaS and goods delivery networks. Mobileye Drive™ will encompass our core autonomous driving technologies and will deliver the driving functions without the need for any in-vehicle human intervention by adding teleoperability and by minimizing
 
79

 
cases where human input would be required. We are working to deploy Mobileye Drive™ through various business-to-business and business-to-consumer channels through the formation of collaborations with potential partners around the world.
We have experienced significant growth since our founding. For 2021, 2020, and 2019, our revenue was $1.4 billion, $967 million, and $879 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 43% in 2021. For the six months ended July 2, 2022, and June 26, 2021, our revenue was $854 million and $704 million, respectively, representing period-over-period growth of 21%. We recorded net losses of $75 million, $196 million, and $328 million in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We recorded a net loss of $67 million and net income of $4 million in the six months ended July 2, 2022, and June 26, 2021, respectively. Our Adjusted Net Income for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $474 million, $289 million, and $51 million, respectively. Our Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended July 2, 2022, and June 26, 2021, was $276 million and $270 million, respectively.
As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, the six months ended July 2, 2022 contains an additional week as a result of 2022 being a 53-week fiscal year while 2021, 2020, and 2019 are 52-week fiscal years. However, the inclusion of the additional week did not have a material impact on our revenue and cost of revenue as the timing of deliveries to customers is not consistent from week-to-week. Further, most of our expenses (such as payroll) are incurred on a monthly basis and, as such, the accrual for the additional week did not materially impact our results of operations.
We were founded in Israel in 1999. Our co-founder, Professor Amnon Shashua, is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to being acquired by Intel for $15.3 billion in 2017, we completed an initial public offering in 2014 and traded under the symbol MBLY on the New York Stock Exchange.
Reorganization
We will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel until the completion of this offering. Immediately following the completion of this offering, Intel will beneficially own all of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock representing approximately 99.4% of the voting power of our common stock (or approximately 99.3% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). Prior to the completion of this offering, we are consummating the following transactions:

the legal purchase by us from Intel of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities, which we completed on May 31, 2022;

the recruitment of certain employees and acquisition of certain assets, in each case, relating to the Mobileye business from Intel, which we have substantially completed as of July 2, 2022;

the declaration and payment of the Dividend, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations, which we completed on May 12, 2022;

the distribution on April 21, 2022 to Intel of the Dividend Note;

the legal entity reorganization of our operations comprising the Mobileye Group business so that they are all under the single parent entity, Mobileye Global Inc., and the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation; and

the execution of the Intercompany Agreements with Intel, whereby, among other matters, Intel will continue to provide certain administrative and operational services, including the supply and license of certain technologies, whereby we will supply Intel with certain technologies, and whereby Intel’s and our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to all tax matters will be governed (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax audits).
For further information and descriptions of the transactions in the Reorganization, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Our History
Since our founding in 1999, we have focused on creating mission-critical and vision solutions for the automotive market. We had our first series production win with three OEMs in 2007. Since launching our first SoC EyeQ®1 in 2007, we have reached a massive installed base, and we shipped our 100 millionth EyeQ® SoC in 2021. We have developed five generations of EyeQ® SoCs, which represent our prior and current generation of SoCs, and are in the process of developing two future generations of our SoCs.
Industry Firsts for Over a Decade
[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d17-lc_indus4c.jpg]
In 2021, we: (1) launched our Mobileye SuperVision™ solution, which is our Premium Driver-Assist offering; (2) announced the industry’s first Level 4 autonomous system program design win with our Mobileye Drive™ solution; and (3) announced the expected initial commercial deployment of our AMaaS offering in Munich and Tel Aviv together with Moovit in addition to our current testing sites in China, Israel, Detroit, Miami, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Tokyo.
Our Business Model
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from our commercially deployed ADAS solutions. In the future, propelled by our next generation AV-on-Chip SoC, which we call EyeQ Ultra™, our surround computer vision Mobileye SuperVision™ solution and our True Redundancy™ architecture, we believe that we will be positioned to deliver an autonomous driving solution that can enable the mass adoption of AV.
We generate the vast majority of our revenue from the sale of our EyeQ® SoCs to OEMs through sales to Tier 1 automotive suppliers. We typically sell our products with volume-based pricing and recognize the revenue and costs associated with our products upon shipment.
We invest significant time and other resources early in the process of new program sourcing as part of our relationship with an OEM. We typically have visibility into the number of models that are expected to include our products at least two to three years in advance based on OEM information provided during the sourcing and nomination process, although there is no contractual commitment by the OEM to purchase particular volumes, and programs are subject to changes with respect to timing and volumes. The revenue that we may recognize in any given year is attributable to program design wins in previous years.
We partner with STMicroelectronics, a leading supplier and innovator of semiconductor devices for automotive applications, in manufacturing, design, and research and development. We have co-developed our family of EyeQ® SoCs with STMicroelectronics. We have also established a relationship with Quanta

Computer to develop and assemble our ECUs, including the design for our Mobileye SuperVision™, which includes our EyeQ®5 SoCs manufactured by STMicroelectronics.
Our close partnership with Intel exists on multiple fronts. With Intel, we have access to unique and differentiating technologies such as proprietary silicon photonics fabrication technologies, which we may leverage for the early development of our FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar sensors to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite. We may also license certain technologies from Intel that support design and development of our software-defined radar, including Intel’s mmWave technologies. Additionally, we intend to explore a collaboration with Intel on a technology platform to integrate our EyeQ® SoC with Intel’s market leading central compute capability, with plans to utilize Intel Foundry Services’ advanced packaging capabilities. This potential platform is intended to enable functions essential to safety, entertainment, and cloud connectivity. Intel’s strength in government affairs and policy development around the world will continue to be of significant value to us as we collaborate with regulators who are preparing frameworks to enable commercial deployment of AVs.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe there are several important factors that have affected and that we expect to continue to affect our results of operations:
Global demand for automotive vehicles.   Our business performance is related to global automotive sales and automotive vehicle production by our OEM customers. Economic conditions in North America, Europe and Asia can have a large impact on the production volume of new vehicles, and, accordingly, have an impact on our revenue. Our OEM customers’ production can vary from period to period due to global demand, market conditions and competitive conditions, as well as other factors, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the automotive industry is showing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately 3% growth in global vehicle production year over year in 2021, production in 2021 was still approximately 13% below the 2019 level. Moreover, automakers continue to face supply chain shortages, and we expect that global vehicle production will not fully recover from the impact of supply chain constraints in 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, current uncertain economic conditions and inflation may contribute to a reduction in consumer demand, which may reduce vehicle production over at least the next several quarters. In addition, in prior periods, certain Tier 1 customers increased their orders for components and parts, including our solutions, to counteract the impact of supply chain shortages for auto parts, and we expect these Tier 1 customers will utilize accrued inventory on hand before placing new orders to meet the demand of OEMs in current or future periods. As a result, some demand for our solutions and the corresponding revenue from these customers were shifted to earlier time periods than otherwise would have occurred absent a general supply chain shortage and inflationary environment. We cannot predict when the impact of these factors on global vehicle production will substantially diminish. However, ADAS volumes have grown faster in recent years than the overall automotive market as ADAS penetration rates have increased, and we believe that we will continue to benefit from that trend. Our revenue of $854 million in the first six months of 2022 was up 21% year-over-year, outperforming the increase of global automotive production, which was relatively flat year-over-year. However, we believe that the expected continued constraint on global automotive production resulting from supply chain shortages and the effects of economic uncertainty will limit our ability to increase our revenue. We expect to continue to capitalize on our strong and collaborative relationships with OEMs and Tier 1s to expand our presence in key markets and capture the long-term growth opportunities in those markets.
Design wins with new and existing customers.   Global OEMs are continuously looking for innovative ways to improve the customer appeal and safety of their vehicles. Additional program design wins for production programs are important to our future revenue growth. However, the revenue generated by each design win and the time necessary to achieve a design win can vary significantly. To achieve program design wins, we must maintain our technological leadership and continue to deliver differentiated solutions versus our competition through investment in research and development. Together with Tier 1 automotive suppliers, we work closely with OEMs to understand their solution requirements and have built close long-term relationships with them extending across multiple generations of EyeQ® products, though there is no guarantee that our customers will purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price even after we achieve design wins. As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800
 
82

 
vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our of 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins.
Investment in technology leadership and product development.   We believe our ability to continue to develop and design highly advanced and cost-efficient ADAS and AV solutions will position us to extend our technology leadership and encourage greater adoption of our solutions by enabling greater levels of autonomy. We also believe that our roadmap for future generations of EyeQ® SoCs and advanced systems will ultimately power autonomous driving solutions. The EyeQ® family design further enables scalable ECU architectures, supporting a variety of ADAS solution architectures, and our announced EyeQ Ultra™ AV-on-Chip is designed to host the full workload of autonomous driving, while meeting stringent cost and power efficiency requirements. We expect that our development of software-defined radar will provide a significant cost advantage by eliminating the need for multiple high-cost lidars around the vehicle and require only a single front-facing lidar, significantly lowering the overall cost of the required sensors compared to solutions that use lidar centric or lidar-only systems. Together with Intel, we also are currently in the early stages of development of FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite. We believe the ability of our foundational technology to provide a low-cost scale solution with low power-consumption, both from an on-board technology and sensor suite perspective, will be critical to enabling the mass adoption of autonomous driving solutions. While our significant investments in these technologies may not result in revenue in the near term, we believe these investments will position us for revenue growth over time.
Regulation for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions.   Demand for our solutions is influenced by the impact of regulation and the ratings systems deployed by the various NCAPs, particularly the Euro NCAP and the U.S. NCAP, administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As these NCAPs demand more ADAS applications such as automatic emergency braking, OEMs will increasingly include ADAS as a standard feature in their models to maintain or to achieve the highest safety ratings. In many countries, these safety assessments have created a “market for safety” as car manufacturers seek to demonstrate that their models satisfy the NCAPs’ highest ratings. We expect national NCAPs to continue to add specific ADAS applications to their evaluation items over the next several years, led by the Euro NCAP. In recent years, as regulatory requirements and NCAP ratings have increased, OEMs have also begun to highlight their safety features as a competitive advantage. We are recognized for our top-rated safety with 66% of Euro NCAP 5 star rated vehicle models for 2018-2021 equipped with our solutions. As additional regulations are implemented around the world, we expect this to lead to increased global adoption of ADAS, and we believe that we are well positioned to benefit from such increasing safety regulations globally, particularly due to the verifiable nature of our current and future solutions.
Fully autonomous vehicles are still nascent, and regulation of autonomous driving is evolving globally on both a local and national level. We believe that regulatory bodies will demand that AV undergo certain validation and audit requirements before autonomous driving is permitted. The potential impact of regulatory requirements and initiatives on the timing for widespread adoption of fully autonomous driving and on the cost of developing and introducing autonomous driving solutions is uncertain. RSS is our framework that informs our driving policy and formalizes a driving safety concept. Our RSS framework and decision-making engine have inspired a global standardization effort of AV safety including IEEE 2846, which is an industry working group that we lead. We are actively engaged in AV regulations globally as they have implications for the pace at which autonomous driving technologies may be deployed as well as which AV technology validation and audit requirements must be met. Importantly, we believe RSS, which is a pragmatic method that is architected to deliver a provably acceptable level of risk defined by governments, will facilitate standardization efforts worldwide as AV deployments accelerate. In addition to impacting the pace at which autonomous driving technologies are deployed, we expect regulations to impact our financial
 
83

 
performance on an ongoing basis over time once autonomous driving gains market adoption. We cannot provide any assurance how any such regulations will impact us and the extent of such impact, particularly if autonomous driving is prohibited in certain areas.
Consumer adoption of our ADAS and autonomous driving solutions.   Our financial performance is in part driven by public awareness and demand for ADAS solutions. Over time we expect autonomous driving solutions to contribute meaningfully to our revenue growth. As a result, consumers’ demand for, and willingness to adopt, ADAS and autonomous driving technologies will significantly impact our financial performance. We believe that our leadership position in ADAS positions us to continue to set the standard for advanced autonomous solutions and will help us benefit from increasing consumer confidence in and demand for autonomous technology over time.
Solution mix, pricing, and product costs.   Solution mix is among the most important factors affecting our revenue and gross margin, as our prices vary significantly across our solutions. The price of our solutions depends on the bundle of applications that are included in the specific product. Our solutions have different margin profiles. As we develop, bundle, and sell full systems that include third-party hardware beyond EyeQ® SoCs, we expect that our gross margin will decrease on a percentage basis because of the greater third-party hardware content. However, as a result of a higher expected selling price for such systems, we expect our gross profit per unit will increase on a dollar basis.
ASPs vary based on a solution’s applications and complexity. As a particular solution matures and unit volumes increase, we expect its ASP to decline. In addition, there are generally step-downs in pricing over periods of production as volumes ramp up. While individual solution ASPs may decline, we seek to continually offer new features and functionality and increase the value that our solutions offer to OEM customers as we target new design win opportunities manage the life cycles of existing solutions and create new ADAS categories with advanced features. We believe our differentiated and scalable solutions consistently enhanced by additional features can enable us to maintain or increase overall ASPs over time.
The cost of input materials and manufacturing costs are significant factors affecting our gross margin. Material costs are affected by a variety of factors, including the availability of sufficient supply to meet market demand. For example, in late 2021, semiconductor fabrication costs increased as a result of a global supply shortage that began in 2020 and is continuing. We are currently experiencing increases in input costs as a result of supply chain shortages, including the global semiconductor shortage, and inflationary pressures. While we seek to increase our ASPs to reflect these cost increases, we anticipate that our gross margin will decrease, at least in the short term, as a result of these cost increases. Our gross margin has been and may continue to be affected by our ability to offset these and any future cost increases through realizing pricing increases on our solutions and achieving decreases in other production costs. We work closely with STMicroelectronics and Quanta on a continuous basis to manage material costs, increase yields and improve manufacturing, assembly, and test costs.
Supply and manufacturing capacity.   Our solutions are dependent on the global semiconductor supply chain. The continued and timely supply of input materials, the availability of manufacturing capacity, and packaging and testing services at reasonable prices impact our ability to meet customer demand. Supply chain disruptions, shortages of raw material, such as wafers and substrates, and manufacturing limitations as a result of COVID-19 or other factors could limit our ability to meet customer demand and result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders. The semiconductor industry is experiencing widespread shortages of substrates and other components and available foundry manufacturing capacity, and we anticipate that such shortages will continue. During 2021 and through the first half of 2022, STMicroelectronics, our sole supplier of EyeQ® SoCs, was not able to meet our demand for EyeQ® SoCs, causing a significant reduction in our inventory level, and we expect to continue to experience a shortfall of chips during the second half of 2022. We have entered 2022 with significantly lower inventories of our EyeQ® SoCs as a result of the limited supply during 2021, and, due to continuing supply chain constraints, we are operating with minimal or no inventory of EyeQ® SoCs on hand. As a result, we are substantially reliant on timely shipments of EyeQ® SoCs from STMicroelectronics to fulfill customer orders and are unable to offset future supply constraints through the use of inventory on hand. The limited supply of EyeQ® SoCs has already led to rescheduling deliveries to our customers on certain occasions and may continue to cause delays in our ability to fulfill our customers’ orders as scheduled. Our results of operations in the six months ended July 2nd, 2022 have not been impacted by the shortfall of chips. Our reliance on single or limited suppliers and vendors for certain
 
84

 
components, equipment, and services and the aforementioned shortages of substrates and other components have led to increased supply chain risks and continue to stress our ability to meet the supply demands of our customers. To mitigate these supply chain constraints, management is monitoring inventory levels on an ongoing basis. Although we cannot fully predict the length and the severity of the impact these pressures will have on a long-term basis, we do not anticipate that our current supply chain constraints would materially adversely affect our results of operations, capital resources, sales, profits, and liquidity.
Public company expenses.   As a public company, we will be implementing additional procedures and processes for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. In particular, we expect our accounting, legal and personnel-related expenses to increase as we establish more comprehensive compliance and governance functions and hire additional personnel to support such functions, maintain and review internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and prepare and distribute periodic reports in accordance with SEC rules. Our financial statements following this offering will reflect the impact of these expenses. We also expect the costs of our insurance, including directors’ and officers’ insurance and insurance coverage for AV activity, to increase as a result of higher premiums.
In addition, in connection with this offering, we have established an equity incentive plan for purposes of granting share-based compensation awards to certain members of our senior management, to our non-executive directors and to employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. Historically, grants of share-based compensation to our employees were made pursuant to Intel’s employee equity incentive plans, and such historical grants will continue based on their original vesting schedules. Equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses, which we expect to increase over time.
Intel Segment Reporting
Certain of our financial results are presented as an operating segment within Intel’s publicly reported financial results. The financial results for us reported by Intel in its segment reporting may differ from our standalone financial results primarily due to Intel’s reporting of expenses related to certain corporate overhead functions and differences in the materiality thresholds applied to prepare consolidated financial results for Intel and for Mobileye on a standalone basis.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from our commercially deployed ADAS solutions. We generate the vast majority of our revenue from the sale of our EyeQ® SoCs to OEMs through sales to Tier 1 automotive suppliers that implement our product into vehicles, in which case our direct customer is the Tier 1 automotive supplier that is responsible for paying us for our products. Because of the complex nature of our products and the need to customize and validate a product and to integrate it into the OEM’s overall ADAS system, we also have strong direct relationships with the OEMs.
EyeQ® SoC sales represented approximately 94%, 93%, and 91% of our revenue for each of the years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Sales of our aftermarket products represented the majority of the remainder of our revenue for 2021, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from the sale of our EyeQ® products and from the sale of our aftermarket products is recognized at the time of product shipment from our facilities, as determined by the agreed-upon shipping terms.
For the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, EyeQ® SoC sales represented approximately 92% and 95% of our revenue, respectively.
Our sales to any single Tier 1 automotive supplier typically cover more than one OEM and more than one production program from any OEM.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with the manufacturing cost of our EyeQ® SoCs, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, identified as developed technology. Additional costs
 
85

 
are royalty fees for the intellectual property that is included in the EyeQ® SoC, personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation for employees on our operations teams, logistics costs and allocated overhead costs. As we develop and sell full systems that include hardware beyond EyeQ® SoCs, we expect that our gross margin will decrease because of the greater hardware content included in our solutions. However, as a result of a higher expected selling price for such systems, we expect our gross profit per unit will increase on a dollar basis.
Research and Development Expenses, net
Research and development expenses primarily consist of expenses related to personnel, facilities, equipment and supplies for research and development activities including share-based compensation, material, parts and other prototype development, cloud computing services, consulting, and other professional services, including data labeling, quality assurance within the development programs, and allocated overhead costs.
We occasionally enter into best-efforts nonrefundable non-recurring engineering arrangements pursuant to which we are reimbursed for a portion of the research and development expenses attributable to specific development programs. We do not receive any additional compensation or royalties upon completion of such projects and the potential customer does not commit to purchase the resulting product in the future. The participation reimbursement that we receive does not depend on whether there are future benefits from the project. All intellectual property generated from these arrangements are exclusively owned by us.
We intend to continue our significant investment in research and development activities to attain our strategic objectives. Accordingly, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars, but to gradually decrease as a percentage of total revenue, over time. We expect that in the near term our research and development expenses will increase compared to 2021, mainly due to additional research and development headcount and higher direct expenses that we expect to incur in connection with the development of our new EyeQ® SoC generations, Premium Driver-Assist offerings, and the productization of our AV solutions and active sensor suite.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships and branding costs, personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, of our sales force, as well as advertising and marketing expenses and allocated overhead costs.
We expect to increase our sales and marketing expenses as we continue our efforts to increase market awareness of the benefits of our solutions, but we expect sales and marketing expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue as our business grows.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, of our executive, finance, and legal departments as well as legal and accounting fees, litigation expenses, and fees for professional and contract services.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue as our business grows. The primary reasons for the growth in general and administrative expenses will be the costs related to being a public company, including the need to hire more personnel to support compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other SEC rules and regulations as well as increased premiums for directors’ and officers’ insurance and the increased use of share-based compensation for general and administrative personnel.
Interest Income (Expense) and Other Expense
For purposes of the acquisition of Mobileye in 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with Intel. The loan amount of $15.3 billion bore interest at a rate based on the short term quarterly Applicable Federal
 
86

 
Rate published by the Internal Revenue Service. In 2019, the outstanding principal balance of $15.3 billion was converted to equity as a contribution by Intel and the amount of $679 million accumulated interest on the loan was converted to equity in 2020.
On April 21, 2022, we and Intel entered into a loan agreement whereby we distributed to Intel the Dividend Note in an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion. The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum, such interest to accrue quarterly. In the six months ended July 2, 2022, accrued interest expense was $9 million.
Our interest income consisted of interest earned on a loan to Intel in the amount of $901 million as of July 2, 2022 and $1.3 billion as of each of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020.
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Other expense consists primarily of fluctuations in value due to foreign exchange differences between our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in New Israeli Shekels and to a much lesser extent, the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the Japanese Yen, and other currencies.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Benefit (provision) for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to the United States, Israel and other foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business, and amortization of deferred tax liability with respect to acquired intangible assets. We are eligible for certain tax benefits in Israel under the Investment Law, at a reduced tax rate, subject to specified terms.
During the years presented in our combined financial statements, certain components of our business operations were included in the consolidated U.S. domestic and certain foreign income tax returns filed by Intel, where applicable. We also file certain foreign income tax returns on a separate basis, distinct from Intel. The income tax provision included in our combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method as if we had filed our own tax returns. We present tax loss carry-forward amounts that have not been utilized by Intel only to the extent such tax attributes can be claimed on a separate income tax return as opposed to a consolidated income tax return filing with Intel. The use of the separate return method may result in differences between our income tax provision compared to Intel’s income tax provision.
In the tax year ended December 25, 2021, Mobileye’s Israeli operations became taxable in the United States as a branch entity. In the six months ended July 2, 2022, Moovit’s Israeli operations became taxable in the United States as a branch entity. As a result, these operations are taxed both in the United States and Israel. For U.S. tax purposes, there are favorable future tax deductions that we could not benefit from due to a valuation allowance position. If warranted in the future by our actual and projected profitability, the valuation allowances may be released, resulting in a benefit at that time. The valuation allowance also resulted in a residual tax expense associated with a deferred tax liability recorded for goodwill in the year ended December 25, 2021 and the six months ended July 2, 2022.
Realization of deferred tax assets is based on our judgment and various factors including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the ability to generate future taxable income in jurisdictions where such assets have arisen, and potential tax planning strategies. The valuation allowance for the years presented in our combined financial statements primarily related to U.S. branch deferred tax assets not currently expected to be realized given that we have sustained recent losses based on the separate return method.
Net operating losses reported in the Intel consolidated tax return have not been reflected in our combined financial statements based on a return reality methodology since they will not be available to us in future periods.

Comparison of the Six months ended July 2, 2022, and June 26, 2021
Revenue
In the six months ended July 2, 2022, revenue was $854 million, up by $150 million, or 21%, from the six months ended June 26, 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase of $120 million, or 18%, in EyeQ® SoC sales, attributable to a 10% increase in volume and a 7% increase in ASP. The remaining increase in revenue was mainly related to the sales of our SuperVisionTM solution, which was launched during the fourth quarter of 2021, and for which no revenue was generated in the six months ended June 26, 2021.
Cost of Revenue
In the six months ended July 2, 2022, our cost of revenue increased by $93 million, or 26%, from the six months ended June 26, 2021. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $50 million in manufacturing costs relating primarily to increased sales of our EyeQ® SoC and our sales of SuperVisionTM solution. The remaining increase resulted primarily from an increase of $40 million in amortization of intangible assets transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology.
Gross Profit and margin
In the six months ended July 2, 2022, our gross profit increased by $57 million, or 16%, from the six months ended June 26, 2021. This increase was mainly driven by the increase in revenue from our EyeQ® sales, as well as the sales of our SuperVision™ solution, partially offset by the increase in amortization of intangible assets.
Our gross margin decreased from 49% during the six months ended June 26, 2021, to 47% during the six months ended July 2, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of SuperVisionTM sales contributing lower margin given the greater hardware content this product contains. The rise in the cost of our EyeQ® SoCs due to the global semiconductor shortage and inflationary pressures also had a downward impact on our gross margin, but to a lesser extent than the foregoing because we entered 2022 with an opening balance of EyeQ® SoC inventory that we previously acquired at lower-than-current prices and passed on some of the increased costs of EyeQ® SoCs acquired at current prices to our customers.
Research and Development Expenses, net
Research and development expenses, net, in the six months ended July 2, 2022, increased by $101 million, or 39%, compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $73 million in payroll and related expenses, derived from an increase in average research and development headcount of 424 employees and payroll costs, including share-based compensation. Additionally, there was an increase of $20 million in cloud computing services and investments attributable to new product development.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses in the six months ended July 2, 2022, decreased by $1 million, or 2%, compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the six months ended July 2, 2022 were flat compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, mainly due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses offset by expenses related to this offering.
Interest Income (expense) and Other Income (expense), net
Interest income (expense), net in the six months ended July 2, 2022, was $5 million in expense compared to $2 million in income in the six months ended June 26, 2021. The increase in net interest expense was mainly due to accrued interest on the Dividend Note issued to Intel on April 21, 2022.
 
89

 
Other income (expense), net in the six months ended July 2, 2022, was $5 million in income compared to zero in income in the six months ended June 26, 2021. The increase in was mainly due to exchange rate differences.
Benefit (Provision) for Income Tax
In the six months ended July 2, 2022, provision for income tax increased by $26 million, compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, mainly due to a withholding tax expense of $14 million related to a dividend distribution between entities within the Mobileye Group, which did not result in a corresponding benefit in the United States, as a result of a valuation allowance position and tax expenses incurred pursuant to U.S. tax law due to unfavorable timing adjustments. Other than in connection with the Reorganization as described elsewhere in this prospectus, we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends for the foreseeable future.
The effective tax rate for both periods was significantly influenced by valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets not currently expected to be realized given that we have sustained recent losses based on the separate return method.

In 2021, revenue was $1.4 billion, up $419 million, or 43%, from 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to a 43% increase in the volume of our EyeQ® SoCs sold in 2021 as compared to 2020, driven by increasing adoption of ADAS compared to 2020 and a slight improvement in global vehicle production. In particular, the increase in 2021 reflected the increase in sales from (1) new launches (meaning the beginning of series deliveries to OEMs through Tier 1 automotive suppliers) of production programs particularly with Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot, and Great Wall Motors, and (2) the full year effect of production programs launched in 2020, particularly with Renault Nissan, HKMC (Hyundai and Kia), Ford, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot, and Great Wall Motors.
In 2020, revenue was $967 million, up $88 million, or 10% from 2019 given higher demand from improved global vehicle production in the second half of 2020, offsetting the decline in production experienced in the first half of the year due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cost of revenue and gross profit
In 2021, our cost of revenue increased by $140 million, or 24%, from 2020. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $86 million in manufacturing costs relating primarily to increased sales of our EyeQ® SoC, and an increase of $51 million in amortization of intangible assets. The increase in amortization of intangible assets was mainly due to an increase of $32 million attributed to intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Moovit, given the recognition of a full year amortization. In 2020, our cost of revenue increased by $135 million, or 30%, from 2019, mainly due to an increase of $107 million in amortization of intangible assets, and increased manufacturing costs relating to increased sales of our EyeQ® SoC. The increase in amortization of intangible assets resulted from $66 million in amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Moovit and an increase of $41 million in the amortization of intangible assets transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology.
In 2021, our gross profit increased by $279 million, or 74%, from 2020. The increase in 2021 was driven by the growth in volume of products sold, partially offset by the increase in amortization of intangible assets primarily due to the recognition of a full year of amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Moovit. In 2020, our gross profit decreased by $47 million, or 11%, from 2019. The decrease in 2020 resulted from the increase in amortization of intangible assets primarily due to a partial year of amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Moovit, partially offset by the growth in volume of products sold.
Our gross margin decreased from 48% during 2019, to 39% during 2020 and increased to 47% during 2021. The increase in 2021 compared to 2020 and the decrease in 2020 compared to 2019 was due primarily to the higher impact of the cost attributable to amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of revenue in 2020.

Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development expenses, net in 2021 increased by $104 million, or 24%, compared to 2020, and in 2020 increased by $56 million, or 15%, compared to 2019. The increase in 2021 was mainly due to an increase of $75 million in payroll and related expenses, derived from an average increase in research and development headcount of 274 employees and payroll costs. Additionally, there was an increase of $21 million in cloud computing services, development tools, and investments attributable to new product development. The increase in 2020 was mainly attributable to employee-related costs derived from an average increase in headcount of 356 employees, including the additional headcount resulting from the acquisition of Moovit.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses in 2021 increased by $18 million, or 16%, compared to 2020, and in 2020 increased by $16 million, or 16%, compared to 2019. The increase in 2021 was mainly due to an increase of $8 million in amortization of customer relationship and brand-related intangible assets and an increase of $6 million in employee-related costs mainly as a result of the full year impact of Moovit. The increase in 2020 was mainly due to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the partial year impact of the acquisition of Moovit.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in 2021 increased by $1 million, or 3%, compared to 2020, and in 2020 increased by $8 million, or 32%, compared to 2019. The increase in 2020 was mainly due to an average increase in headcount of 29 employees and additional employee-related costs attributable to the acquisition of Moovit. The increase in 2021 was insignificant.
Interest Income (Expenses) and Other Expenses
In 2019, interest expense of $257 million was recorded in connection with the loan from Intel, which was converted to equity during 2019.
Interest income attributable to the loan with Intel was $3 million in 2021, compared to $6 million in 2020, and $22 million in 2019. The decrease resulted from a reduction in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
Other expenses decreased by $2 million in 2021, compared to 2020, and increased by $1 million in 2020 compared to 2019, in each case mainly due to the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations.
Benefit (provision) for income tax
In 2021, provision for income tax was $18 million compared to benefit from income tax of $16 million in 2020, mainly due to the effect of deferred income taxes associated with the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes, as a result of our inclusion in the consolidated, combined, or unitary U.S. federal and state income tax returns with Intel starting in 2021. In 2020, benefit for income taxes was $16 million compared to provision for income of $3 million in 2019 mainly due to the amortization of deferred tax liability with respect to intangible assets attributable to the acquisition of Moovit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements and plans for the next 12 months and in the longer term. Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity for funding our strategic business requirements.
Our primary uses of funds have been for funding increases in headcount in our research and development organization and for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures have related mainly to the construction of our campus, data storage and other computer related equipment and were $53 million, $143 million, $91 million, and $44 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In connection with the Reorganization, on May 12, 2022, we also declared and paid the Dividend
 
91

 
in an aggregate amount of $336 million to Intel, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations.
To fund our cash requirements in the ordinary course of business, we anticipate that we will continue to primarily rely on operating cash flows, supplemented by our total cash and cash equivalents, together with the amount of net proceeds that we retain in accordance with the Master Transaction Agreement which requires that Intel that, immediately after completion of this offering and on a pro forma basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness of Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), we have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities, in accordance with the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement. On a pro forma as adjusted basis as of July 2, 2022, the portion of net proceeds retained by us would have been approximately $226 million. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The actual amount of net proceeds retained will be based upon the estimated balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the closing date of this offering, which balance may be higher or lower than the pro forma balance as of July 2, 2022. We intend to use the remainder to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note. On a pro forma as adjusted basis as of July 2, 2022, the portion of net proceeds used to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed to Intel under the Dividend Note would have been approximately $0.6 billion (or $0.7 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement. We expect our total capital expenditures for 2022 to be slightly above our total capital expenditures in 2021, mainly given the expansion to additional facilities required to accommodate our recruitment of certain employees from Intel. The construction of our campus is planned to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023, with a remaining cost we estimate to be between $80 million and $90 million. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate and the timing and extent of operating expenses.
We have lease obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments as part of our ordinary course of business. See “Note 5: Leases” to our combined financial statements for information about our lease obligations. We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements involving commitments or obligations, including contingent obligations, arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

Operating activities
For the six months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, the $56 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to a change in employee related balances
 
92

 
resulting from our recruitment of certain employees relating to the Mobileye business from Intel during the second quarter of 2022.
For 2021 compared to 2020, the $328 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by a decrease of $121 million in net loss, an increase in net cash inflow from working capital and an increase in non-cash adjustments, mainly attributable to the amortization of intangible assets.
For 2020 compared to 2019, the $29 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in non-cash adjustments in 2020 (primarily due to the adjustment in 2019 relating to interest expenses with respect to a loan with Intel), which more than offset the $132 million decrease in net loss in 2020.
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 2, 2022 was $344 million, consisting primarily of a $397 million net repayment of a loan by Intel, partially offset by capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 26, 2021 was $355 million consisting primarily of a $280 million loan to Intel and capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2021 was $157 million, primarily relating to capital expenditures in connection with the construction of our campus.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2020 was $965 million consisting primarily of a net investment of $745 million with respect to our acquisition of Moovit, $135 million loan to Intel and capital expenditures mainly relating to the construction of our campus.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2019 was $225 million, consisting primarily of a $185 million loan to Intel and capital expenditures.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended July 2, 2022 was $415 million, consisting primarily of the $336 million Dividend to Intel and $186 million of share-based compensation recharge payments made to Intel, partially offset by $121 million as a result of net contributions from Intel.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 26, 2021 was $49 million, primarily as a result of net contributions from Intel.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2021 was $91 million, as a result of a net contribution from Intel.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2020 was $732 million, consisting primarily of $825 million for the acquisition of Moovit, partially offset by share-based compensation recharge payments made to Intel.
Net cash used in financing activities in 2019 was $59 million, primarily related to share-based compensation recharge payments made to Intel.
Liability in respect of employee rights upon retirement
Israeli labor laws and agreements require severance payments upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in other circumstances. The severance pay liability with respect to Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date.
Our liability for all of our Israeli employees is covered by monthly deposits with severance pay funds. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrender value of these policies and includes profits (or loss) accumulated through the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements.
Part of our liability for severance pay is covered by the provisions of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law (“Section 14”). Under Section 14 employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of
 
93

 
their monthly salary, contributed by us on their behalf to their insurance funds. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release us from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. As a result, we do not recognize any liability for severance pay due to these employees and the deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as assets on the combined balance sheets.
Severance pay liability increased from $59 million as of December 26, 2020, to $68 million as of December 25, 2021, reflecting mainly an increase in salary and related costs. Severance pay liability decreased to $49 million as of July 2, 2022.
Indebtedness
We have several bank guarantees aggregating approximately $9.6 million (denominated in New Israeli Shekels) mainly in connection with lease agreements and import of vehicles.
In addition, in connection with the Reorganization, on April 21, 2022, we distributed to Intel the Dividend Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion. The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management uses Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin, Adjusted Operating Income and Margin and Adjusted Net Income, collectively, as key measures in operating our business. We use such non-GAAP financial measures to make strategic decisions, establish business plans and forecasts, identify trends affecting our business, and evaluate performance. For example, we use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our pricing and sourcing strategy, in the preparation of our annual operating budget, and as a measure of our operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into what measures our management (and Intel’s management) uses in operating our business and measuring our performance, and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where items may vary independent of business performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as our combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
We believe excluding items that neither relate to the ordinary course of business nor reflect our underlying business performance, such as the amortization of intangible assets and certain expenses related to this offering, enables management and our investors to compare our underlying business performance from period-to-period. Accordingly, we believe these adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. In addition, we also believe these adjustments enhance comparability of our financial performance against those of other technology companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and certain expenses related to this offering as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures, although revenue is generated, in part, by these intangible assets, to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges that are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. These amortization charges relate to intangible assets consisting of developed technology, customer relationships, and brands as a result of Intel’s acquisition of Mobileye in 2017 and the acquisition of Moovit in 2020.
We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense is appropriate because it eliminates the impact of non-cash expenses for equity-based compensation costs that are based upon valuation methodologies and assumptions that vary over time, and the amount of the expense can vary significantly
 
94

 
between companies due to factors that are unrelated to their core operating performance and that can be outside of their control. Although we exclude share-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures, equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses, and may increase in future periods.
We believe that the exclusion of expenses related to this offering is appropriate as they represent items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These expenses are primarily composed of legal, accounting and professional fees incurred in connection with this offering that are not capitalizable, which are included within general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding amortization of acquisition related intangibles and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by total revenue.
Set forth below is the reconciliation of gross profit to Adjusted Gross Profit and the calculations of gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin:

Our Gross Margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenue) and Adjusted Gross Margin (adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue) reflect the high value-added nature of our solutions and have remained consistent in recent periods. As we develop and sell full systems that include hardware beyond EyeQ® SoCs, we expect that our Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin will decrease because of the greater hardware content included in our solutions. However, as a result of a higher expected selling price for such systems, we expect our gross profit per unit will increase on a dollar basis over time.
Our Adjusted Gross Margin decreased from 78% for the six months ended June 26, 2021 to 76% for the six months ended July 2, 2022, primarily due to increased sales of our SuperVisionTM solutions, which have greater hardware content than our other ADAS solutions.
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We define Adjusted Operating Income as operating loss presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and expenses related to this offering incurred during the six months ended July 2, 2022. Operating margin is calculated as operating loss divided by total revenue, and Adjusted Operating Margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income divided by total revenue.

Adjusted operating income and margin
$ 325 38% $ 301 43% $ 549 40% $ 322 33% $ 317 36%
We incurred an operating loss in the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared to operating income in the six months ended June 26, 2021, mainly as a result of an increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets and share-based compensation expense, as well as an increase in research and development expenses, partially offset by revenue growth.
We incurred an operating loss in each of 2021, 2020 and 2019. The decrease in our operating margin from 2019 to 2020 reflected the impact of increased headcount, including as a result of the acquisition of Moovit, and an increase in amortization of acquired intangibles. Our operating loss, and operating margin in each of these years included the effect of amortization of acquired intangible assets, as well as share-based compensation expense, each of which increased in each of 2020 and 2021 as compared to the preceding year.
Our Adjusted Operating Income increased in the six months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, primarily due to the growth in our overall business, partially offset by the increase in research and development expenses.
Our Adjusted Operating Margin decreased in the six months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in our Adjusted Gross Margin and the impact of increased research and development headcount.
Our Adjusted Operating Income and Margin increased in fiscal 2021 primarily due to growth in our overall business driven by an increase in adoption of ADAS compared to 2020 and a slight improvement in global vehicle production. We expect that our Adjusted Operating Margin in future near-term years will decrease compared to the six months ended July 2, 2022, mainly due to additional research and development headcount and higher direct expenses that we expect to incur in connection with the development of new EyeQ® SoC generations, Mobileye SuperVision™ enhancements, and the productization of our AV solutions and active sensor suite.
Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted Net Income as net loss presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related intangibles, share-based compensation expense, and expenses related to this offering incurred during the six months ended July 2, 2022, as well as the related income tax effects. Income tax effects have been calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for each adjustment taking into consideration the associated valuation allowance impacts. The adjustment for income tax effects consists primarily of the deferred tax impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

We incurred a net loss in the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared to net income in the six months ended June 26, 2021, mainly as a result of an increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets and share-based compensation expense, as well as an increase in research and development expenses, partially offset by an increase in revenue.
Our net income (loss) in each of the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021 and our net loss in each of 2021, 2020 and 2019 included the effect of amortization of acquired intangible assets, as well as share-based compensation expense, each of which increased in the six months ended July 2, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, and increased in each of 2020 and 2021 as compared to the preceding year. The decrease in our net loss in 2021 as compared to 2020 reflects growth in our overall business, driven by an increase in adoption of ADAS compared to 2020 and a slight improvement in global vehicle production. The decrease in our net loss in 2020 as compared to 2019 was attributable in part to the impact of net interest expense of $235 million in 2019, primarily related to interest expense in connection with a loan from Intel, which was converted to equity.
Our Adjusted Net Income increased in the six months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2021, primarily due to growth in our overall business, partially offset by the increase in research and development expenses. Our Adjusted Net Income increased in fiscal 2021 primarily due to growth in our overall business, driven by an increase in adoption of ADAS compared to 2020 and a slight improvement in global vehicle production. We expect that our Adjusted Net Income margin (which is the Adjusted Net Income divided by total revenue) in future near-term years will decrease compared to the six months ended July 2, 2022, mainly due to additional research and development headcount and higher direct expenses that we expect to incur in connection with the development of new EyeQ® SoC generations, Mobileye SuperVision™ enhancements, and the productization of our AV solutions and active sensor suite.

Quarterly Trends
In 2020, the entire automotive industry was severely impacted by COVID-19, resulting in global vehicle production declining by 16% compared to 2019. This led to fluctuations in our quarterly results. We experienced a temporary reduction in revenue and operating margin during the second and third quarters of 2020, followed by a sharp recovery that is reflected in the results of the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.
The increase in operating expenses starting in the fourth quarter of 2021 is mainly due to increased R&D investments in connection with the launch of Mobileye SuperVision™ and AV productization.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rates.
The U.S. dollar is our functional currency. Substantially all our revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars for all periods presented, however certain expenses comprising our cost of revenue and operating expenses were denominated in New Israeli Shekels, mainly payroll. As a result, our combined financial statements are subject to fluctuations due to changes in exchange rates as our operating expenses, denominated in New Israeli Shekels, are remeasured from New Israeli Shekels into U.S. dollars. We also have expenses in other currencies, in particular the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, and the Japanese Yen, although to a much lesser extent.
We have attempted to minimize foreign currency risk, primarily by entering into a hedging services agreement with Intel during 2021. Intel centrally hedges its forecast cash flow exposure to the U.S. dollar / New Israeli Shekel exchange rates, and according to the agreement, we have been entitled to a certain allocation of the gains and losses arising from the execution of the hedging contracts. Since our hedging arrangement with Intel is not expected to continue in the long-term, we plan to reassess what, if any, hedging arrangements we will have in subsequent fiscal years.
If the New Israeli Shekel had strengthened by 10% against the U.S. dollar, it would have decreased our cash flows by approximately $37 million and $28 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effect of a 10% change in the U.S. dollar / New Israeli Shekel exchange rate would not have had a material impact on our cash flows in 2021 or the six months ended July 2, 2022, due to our hedging services agreement with Intel.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The application of our accounting policies may require us to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense,
 
99

 
and the accompanying disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the estimate was made.
We consider an accounting policy to be a critical estimate if: (1) we must make assumptions that were uncertain when the judgment was made, and (2) changes in the relevant estimate or assumptions, or selection of a different estimate methodology, could have a significant impact on our financial position or the results that we report in our combined financial statements.
We believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable in that they were based on information available when the estimates, assumptions and judgments were made. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from those implied by our assumptions and estimates.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, goodwill and deferred taxes. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from the results implied by these estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions.
Intangible Assets
Our combined financial statements include acquisition-related intangible assets, consisting primarily of developed technology and customer relationships and brands. The identification and recognition of those intangible assets involve significant judgments relating to, among other things, the projected cash flows attributable to these intangible assets and the estimated useful lives of these intangible assets. We amortize acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives are determined by management at the time of acquisition, based on historical experience and the economic life of the underlying technology, and are regularly reviewed for appropriateness. Acquisition-related in-process research and development assets represent the fair value of incomplete research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition; initially, these are classified as in-process research and development and are not subject to amortization. Once these projects are completed, the asset balances are transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology and are subject to amortization from that point forward based on their estimated useful lives at that time.
The asset balances relating to projects that are abandoned after acquisition are impaired and expensed to research and development. We perform a quarterly review of significant finite-lived identified intangible assets to make a judgment on whether facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and an impairment may be required.
These reviews can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our forecasts for specific product lines.
Goodwill
We perform an annual impairment assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The analysis may include both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of impairment. Additionally, we are permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if we determine, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount.
Qualitative factors include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring a reporting unit’s fair value.
 
100

 
Our quantitative impairment test considers both the income approach and the market approach to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value. Significant estimates include growth rates, estimated costs, and discount rates based on a reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital.
For 2021, we performed a quantitative impairment test at the reporting unit level, which had $111 million of allocated goodwill as of December 25, 2021. As of December 25, 2021, the reporting unit was not at risk of failing the quantitative impairment test and the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying amount. As of July 2, 2022, no indicators of impairment were identified.
Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the combined financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term “more likely than not” indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%.
Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

BUSINESS
Overview
Mobileye is a leader in the development and deployment of ADAS and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. We pioneered ADAS technology more than 20 years ago and have continuously expanded the scope of our ADAS offerings, while leading the evolution to autonomous driving solutions.
Our portfolio of solutions is built upon a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies designed to provide the capabilities needed to make the future of ADAS and autonomous driving a reality. These technologies can be harnessed to deliver mission-critical capabilities at the edge and in the cloud, advancing the safety of road users, and revolutionizing the driving experience and the movement of people and goods globally.
While today ADAS is central to the advancement of automotive safety, we believe that the future of mobility is autonomous. However, mass adoption of autonomous vehicles is still nascent. Full autonomy — where a human is not actively engaged in driving the vehicle for extended periods of time — requires the autonomous driving solution to be capable of navigating any environment in any condition at any time. Additionally, developing a technology platform whose decision-making process and resulting actions are verifiable is critical to enabling autonomous driving solutions at scale. The ability to drive autonomously not only requires a substantial amount of data, but also a robust technology platform that can withstand the validation and audit process of global regulatory bodies. Finally, the autonomous driving solution needs to be produced at a cost that makes it affordable. We are building our technology platform to address these fundamental and significant challenges in order to enable the full spectrum of solutions, from ADAS to autonomous driving.
We believe that our industry-leading technology platform, built upon over 20 years of research, development, data collection and validation, and purpose-built software and hardware design, gives us a differentiated ability to not only deliver excellent safety ratings and maintain a leadership position with our ADAS solutions, but also to make the mass deployment of autonomous driving solutions a reality. We also believe that the breadth of our solutions, combined with our global customer base, represents a significant market opportunity for us. Our platform is modular by design, and it is highly customizable, which allows our customers to benefit from our cutting-edge, verified, and validated core ADAS capabilities while enabling our customers to augment and differentiate their offerings. We estimate the current TAM to be approximately $16 billion, composed entirely of selected ADAS market opportunities. We expect the near-term TAM to be approximately $40 billion, and the long-term TAM to be approximately $480 billion, as the value of ADAS functionality increases and as AV deployment, both in consumer-owned vehicles and fleet-owned vehicle networks, accelerates. We define the near-term TAM as the market size in or about 2026 and the long-term TAM as the market size in or about 2030. The TAM combines market opportunities in ADAS and AV, including AMaaS.
We have experienced significant growth since our founding. For 2021, 2020, and 2019, our revenue was $1.4 billion, $967 million, and $879 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 43% in 2021. For the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, our revenue was $854 million and $704 million, respectively, representing period-over-period growth of 21%. We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from our commercially deployed ADAS solutions. We recorded net losses of $75 million, $196 million, and $328 million in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We recorded a net loss of $67 million and net income of $4 million in the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively. Our Adjusted Net Income for 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $474 million, $289 million, and $51 million, respectively. Our Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021 was $276 million and $270 million, respectively.
As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, the six months ended July 2, 2022 contains an additional week as a result of 2022 being a 53‑week fiscal year while 2021, 2020, and 2019 are 52‑week fiscal years. However, the inclusion of the additional week does not have a material impact on our revenue and cost of revenue as the timing of deliveries to customers is not consistent from week-to-week. Further, most of our expenses (such as payroll) are incurred on a monthly basis and, as such, the accrual for the additional week does not materially impact our results of operations.

As of July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 117 million and 125 million, respectively, vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the first half of 2022 and in the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 15.9 million and 24.0 million, respectively, of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 14.4 million and 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first half and first nine months, respectively, of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 266 million and 270 million, respectively, vehicles by 2030, including approximately 37 million and 54 million vehicles based on our first half 2022 design wins and 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022, respectively, and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins. These estimates are based on projections of future production volumes that were provided by the OEMs at the time of sourcing our design wins with them for the models related to those design wins. These estimates may deviate from actual production volume (which may be higher or lower than the estimates) and do not include design wins after October 1, 2022.
We were founded in Israel in 1999. Our co-founder, Professor Amnon Shashua, is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to being acquired by Intel for $15.3 billion in 2017, we completed an initial public offering in 2014 and traded under the symbol MBLY on the New York Stock Exchange.
Our Technology Platform is Built to Enable the Full-Stack of Autonomous Solutions
Our technology platform, which includes our software and hardware intellectual property, leverages our decades of experience as a technology leader for sensing and perception solutions for the automotive industry and our focused efforts to build highly scalable and cost-efficient autonomous solutions. Our technologies are foundational to the development and deployment of our ADAS capabilities and consumer AV. Our platform is built on five fundamental pillars:

highly advanced, road-tested, sensing and perception technologies built upon years of technology leadership in computer vision and powered by our mission critical software and purpose-built EyeQ® family of SoCs;

a high-precision mapping system, our Road Experience Management (“REM”), that generates AV maps from crowd-sourced data that is uploaded and analyzed in the cloud from REM-equipped production ADAS solutions that are deployed on vehicles on the road;

a redundant sensor fusion architecture, which we call True Redundancy, designed to employ two independent perception subsystems — one based solely on cameras, and the other solely on a radar-lidar subsystem, to enable our goal of building a fully autonomous driving-system that can be validated as safer than human-driven vehicles and deployed in a cost-efficient manner;

the design of next generation imaging-radars, a solution targeted to reduce the need for multiple lidar sensors, combined with a single front-facing lidar sensor in the redundant sensor configuration of the future, to enable our goal of building a cost-effective fully autonomous driving-system; and

our RSS framework, which has continuously been optimized since it was first published in 2017, is used by international bodies that are currently developing standards with respect to the safety of AV, and forms the backbone of our human-like, computationally efficient, driving policy and decision-making engine.
 
103

 
[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d3-tbl_techno4c.jpg]
These five pillars form the core of our platform, which is highly customizable, and we intend to deploy them with increasing functionality to continue to enhance our market-leading ADAS solutions and lead the evolution to autonomous driving solutions.
Efficiency and Scale are the Foundation of our Rich Portfolio of Solutions
We are focused on offering full-stack solutions across the ADAS and autonomous driving markets. These include or are expected to include:

a range of ADAS solutions supporting not only “base” features to meet global regulatory requirements and safety ratings, but also higher-function cloud-enhanced feature sets including crowd-sourced maps and “eyes-on/hands-free” point-to-point assisted driving solutions;

“eyes-off/hands-free” autonomous driving solutions with a human driver still in the driver’s seat that may require driver intervention in certain situations for consumer AV with the ability to drive safely without geofenced limitations; and

a set of solutions for AMaaS, including a self-driving system, the self-driving vehicles delivered in partnership with OEMs, and a customer-facing application for the movement of people and goods.
We believe we can reach series production for each of these technologies in the future, as each is accomplished by adding a block of our discrete intellectual property that is either in production today or in advanced development stages. We believe that our range of value-creating solutions that are scalable, verifiable, and cost-effective represent a significant competitive advantage.
Efficiency
Our purpose-built EyeQ® family of SoCs have a low power consumption profile and tight software/hardware coupling to achieve “lean compute” for efficiency. The principle of efficiency permeates the overall solution design, including our True RedundancyTM approach, with separate subsystems to increase robustness and reduce the compute resources required to validate the solution, and RSS, which separates the perception system’s validation from the driving policy system. Both of these are critical contributors to achieving efficient solutions.
Scale
We achieve scale by designing our solutions to operate at a cost and performance level that allows our solutions to become ubiquitous. We have designed our solutions to operate with four scale-driven elements:

our REM crowd-sourced AV maps allow the map-building and map-updating process to be automated. Our AV maps are designed to enable vehicles equipped with our new category of cloud-enhanced ADAS that we call “Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist” and autonomous driving solutions to
 
104

 
drive without the limitations of pre-mapped geofenced zones. These AV maps will support our efforts to deploy in new cities and geographies quickly;

our cost-optimized EyeQ® SoC family is highly scalable and built to be at the core of our full spectrum of current and future ADAS and AV solutions, from base ADAS to autonomous driving. Our current EyeQ®4Mid, 4High, 5Mid, 5High, and our announced 6Lite, and 6High, cover the entire spectrum of our ADAS solutions portfolio, and our announced EyeQ Ultra, a monolithic “AV-on-Chip”, covers our autonomous driving solutions portfolio;

our software-defined imaging radars and associated perception technology are designed to function as a second redundant perception layer. By reducing the lidar content per vehicle, we believe we will be able to reduce costs significantly, and facilitate consumer AV and AMaaS solutions at scale; and

our driving policy (RSS-based) is designed for global deployment, as it does not rely on local or regional driving cultural norms. In 2021, we announced the expected initial commercial deployment of our AMaaS offering in Munich and Tel Aviv together with Moovit in addition to our current testing sites in China, Israel, Detroit, Miami, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Tokyo.
We Have a History of Innovation and Market Leadership
As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our of 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins. We currently ship a variety of ADAS solutions to 13 of the 15 largest automakers in the world in addition to many smaller OEMs, and we are recognized for our top-rated safety solutions globally. For example, 66% of Euro NCAP 5-star rated vehicle models for 2018-2021 are equipped with our solutions, with the Euro NCAP widely recognized as the most stringent in regulating automotive safety, and many other regional NCAPs following its leadership.
Since 2007, when we first launched the EyeQ®1, we have introduced numerous industry-first ADAS products.
[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d6-fc_mobile4c.jpg]
Our Family of Purpose-Built EyeQ® SoCs
Our family of purpose-built EyeQ® SoCs is fundamental to our leadership position in ADAS. Our EyeQ® SoCs incorporate a set of proprietary compute-acceleration models, to enhance the accuracy, quality, and functional safety of our perception solutions, while minimizing the power consumption to address the requirements of the automotive market. The EyeQ® family design enables a scalable ECU
 
105

 
architecture, thereby supporting a variety of ADAS solution architectures. These solutions range from base, windshield mounted ECUs to multi-SoC central compute ECUs as well as our announced EyeQ Ultra, which is expected to be capable of hosting the full workload of autonomous driving under stringent cost and power efficiency metrics. Our EyeQ®5 SoCs and subsequent generations feature EyeQ Kit — an end-to-end SDK intended to enable the co-hosting of our partners’ and customers’ workloads alongside our cutting-edge AI technologies. Our SDK provides access to all EyeQ accelerators for programming and is enabled by a broad ecosystem of standard and proprietary software. EyeQ Kit is the evolution of our core competencies and differentiated central compute knowhow. EyeQ Kit brings together a team of compilers, simulators, profilers, and debuggers, who have been working together for many years, to develop a single software platform optimized for common workloads and industry standards. EyeQ Kit is expected to be used by several OEMs and Tier 1s, and hosts third-party content such as driver monitoring systems, parking functions, and visualization features. Our end-to-end software model encourages our customers to innovate on top of our platform, augmenting and differentiating their offerings, while benefiting from our cutting-edge, verified, and validated core ADAS capabilities. Importantly, we believe EyeQ Kit accelerates time to market for our customers at a lower cost than alternative in-house solutions, while strengthening our partnerships by encouraging our customers to customize their offerings on top of our platform.

Road Experience Management
REM is a cloud-based system that leverages the broad installed-base of REM-equipped vehicles to build Mobileye Roadbook, our crowd-sourced, high-definition maps of roads from around the world. Our REM mapping system harvests Road Segment Data from millions of vehicles in small packets that have been launched by our partner OEMs since 2018 that are equipped with our EyeQ®4Mid and above SoCs, and special processing software that extracts only the relevant information that is necessary to support increasing levels of ADAS and autonomous driving. The Road Segment Data is uploaded to the cloud where our software automatically creates and updates a detailed and accurate model of the road. Our REM mapping system seamlessly creates high-precision AV maps in the cloud at centimeter detail, which are then delivered to the edge to provide vehicles with real-time intelligence, including situational awareness, context, and foresight. Mobileye Roadbook was designed to provide the driving solution with a pre-aggregated representation of relevant static and slowly changing elements of the environment (road geometry, boundaries, and semantics) and temporary events such as construction zones and road debris, at a high refresh rate. As of July 2, 2022, we had collected 8.6 billion miles of road data from, based on our estimates, approximately 1.5 million REM-enabled vehicles worldwide, and were analyzing up to 43 million miles of road data per day, with the size of the REM-enabled fleet increasing daily. Over the last six months alone, we estimate that the data we have accumulated covers over 90% and 80% of the approximately 0.8 million miles of motorway, trunk, and primary road types in each of the United States and Europe, respectively. This data enables us to create robust high definition maps to support solutions across the product spectrum

from cloud-enhanced ADAS to Mobileye SuperVision Lite and Mobileye SuperVision to Mobileye Drive and Mobileye Chauffeur.
[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d3-tbl_mappin4c.jpg]
[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d19-tbl_richn4c.jpg]
By augmenting our base ADAS with REM and Mobileye Roadbook, we have pioneered the new ADAS category of cloud-enhanced ADAS, which we call Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist. Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist includes an in-path driver assist function capable of:

Laterally controlling the vehicle to accurately track the driving path even in cases where lane markings are poorly marked, partly visible, or completely absent (for example, while driving through intersections); and
 
107

 

Longitudinally responding to traffic directives and road conditions, such as adjustment of the speed according to speed limits, road curvature, or upcoming speed bumps/hazards, and yielding/stopping in response to traffic signs, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.
Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist also provides foresight of road geometry, and the often-complicated association of semantic indications with the different driving paths (e.g., traffic lights and traffic signs) by relying on data from prior human driving activity in those locations and situations. Our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist offering was incorporated in Ford’s BlueCruise, beginning in 2021, across multiple makes and models, and Volkswagen announced in early 2022 that our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist offering is being incorporated in Volkswagen’s Travel Assist 2.5. As we continue to rapidly scale our solutions, the benefits of greater data and intelligence not only accrue to our platform, but also to our OEM customers and consumers through greater safety, as well as increased functionality and accuracy across various road conditions.
Our Roadmap to Enable Mass AV Deployment
We believe autonomous driving requires two further major advancements, each of which we are developing, and includes a regulatory framework for deploying AV at scale and a unique sensor fusion architecture, which enhances the effectiveness of the self-driving system.

RSS is a formal, explicit, machine interpretable model governing the safety of our autonomous driving solutions’ driving policy. RSS articulates a set of plausible-worst-case assumptions regarding the behavior of other road-users, thereby enabling assertive, human-like driving while rigorously respecting the boundary between safe driving decisions and dangerous, risk-inducing ones. By doing so, it provides a deterministic model for safe driving decisions. As such, RSS further gives regulators and industry participants a framework for standardizing autonomous driving decision-making safety. RSS is also the key enabler of our lean compute driving policy design, as we distinctly separate comfort driving strategies and tactics from safety-related inhibitions and adjustments. RSS has inspired a global standardization effort of AV safety including IEEE 2846, an industry working group that we lead. We first published our RSS model in 2017, setting another example of our industry leadership in addressing one of the key issues to enable regulatory and public acceptance of “eyes-off/hands-free” autonomous solutions at scale.
True Redundancy: Our Unique Sensor Fusion Architecture
Our unique architecture design, called True Redundancy, further enhances the robustness and safety of our self-driving system. Rather than fusing all different sensor modalities prior to creating an “environment model” of the world, we are developing two independent perception subsystems. One subsystem is powered solely by cameras and the other is powered by active sensors (radars and lidars). The fusion of the two separate “sensing states” is performed at a high-level with a simple decision mechanism for safety maneuvers and more complex “comfort” maneuvers for human-like driving. We have announced a robotaxi with a unified True Redundancy system including radar and lidar subsystems, and we expect this vehicle to be on the road in 2022, subject to regulatory approval. In 2021, we announced the expected initial commercial deployment of our AMaaS offering in Munich and Tel Aviv together with Moovit in addition to our current testing sites in China, Israel, Detroit, Miami, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Tokyo.
A byproduct of our True Redundancy architecture is enabling subsystems of our AV development to “scale down” to ADAS, thus creating a seamless and scalable solution portfolio from ADAS to autonomous driving. For example, our Premium Driver Assist offering, Mobileye SuperVision, launched by Geely Group for its ZEEKR premium electric vehicle brand, is a productization of the camera-only subsystem of our autonomous driving development offering fully operational point-to-point assisted driving navigation. Since the ADAS market is extremely cost-sensitive and cameras are considered the most cost-efficient and versatile sensors powering the evolution of ADAS, the True Redundancy architecture enables us to considerably enhance the evolution of ADAS from front-facing camera solutions to a full surround multi-camera solution supporting fully operational “eyes-on” functions.
 
108

 
The Mobileye SuperVision configuration of sensors and compute can also be transformed into an effective “360 guardian,” helping the driver avoid accidents, as referenced in our Vision Zero paper published on arXiv.org in 2018. To take substantial steps towards “Vision Zero” or the goal of reducing driving fatalities and serious injuries from roadway accidents to zero, we leverage surround sensing, our RSS framework and REM AV maps. Our AV maps provide areas of potential dangers (such as lane merges, traffic lights and occluded pedestrians) and adjust the driving accordingly, while RSS provides human-like decisions enabled by surround (360) sensing and the REM AV map. We believe Mobileye SuperVision has the potential to transform ADAS at its core, potentially leading to adoption driven by regulatory requirements and safety ratings of a Mobileye SuperVision-like solution in its own category, similar to how safety-ratings and regulation have driven the adoption of base ADAS beginning in 2014. We believe that our cost-efficient design of active sensing technology will help support consumer AV production at scale in the future.
In addition, the autonomous driving-ADAS interplay rooted in our True Redundancy architecture is bi-directional: advanced technologies, which are migrated down from the self-driving systems to ADAS, dramatically enhance our ADAS market proposition, and in turn, these advanced autonomous driving technologies are being validated in commercial, mass market ADAS deployments, greatly contributing to the process of verifying and validating the various elements of our self-driving systems. Moreover, our scalable architecture provides our OEM partners with operational efficiencies as our stacked solution architecture minimizes the OEMs’ integration and validation burden as our solutions can be seamlessly deployed across multiple vehicle segments.
We are designing a first-of-its-kind “software-defined” imaging radar with a dynamic range and resolution backed by advanced processing algorithms to enable an independent “sensing state.” We have chosen to focus on the evolution of the radar modality, given its cost structure is significantly below lidar-only systems. We believe our custom designed, imaging radars address not only the performance, but also the cost limitations of a radar-multiple lidar solution for mass AV deployment. Our radar is expected to deliver rich point-cloud models like those customary of lidar, with far higher resolution and a significantly more dynamic range than traditional radar. We believe that this will allow us to eliminate the need for multiple high-cost lidars around the vehicle and require only a single front-facing lidar, thereby significantly lowering the overall cost of the required sensors compared to other solutions that use lidar-centric or lidar-only systems.
Our True Redundancy architecture with two separate subsystems combines both cameras and software-defined imaging radar around the vehicle, with a single front-facing lidar for three-way redundancy, which will be powered by our EyeQ Ultra AV-on-Chip. This unique True Redundancy architecture is designed to bring the cost structure of a full self-driving system to a consumer level by having the imaging radars replace the multiple, expensive lidars around the vehicle and require only a single front-facing lidar, enabling “eyes-off/hands-free” Level 4 autonomous solutions to be launched at scale. Until completion of development of our software-defined imaging radar, we expect the implementation of our True Redundancy architecture to employ third-party lidars and commercially available radars.

Represents commercially deployed solutions (Driver Assist, Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist and Mobileye SuperVision) and solutions that we expect to be commercially deployed in the future (Mobileye Chauffeur, Mobileye Drive and
AMaaS).
In January 2022, we announced a design win of our consumer AV system, Mobileye Chauffeur, with ZEEKR, Geely Group’s premium electric vehicle brand. Consumer AV ranges from very limited operational design domain (e.g., low-speed, highway-only “traffic jam pilot” systems) to the much more expansive operational design domain that we are pursuing through our Mobileye Chauffeur solution. Mobileye Chauffeur is expected to be capable of “eyes-off/hands-free” driving with a human driver still in the driver’s seat, in a gradually expanding operational driving domain, and is expected to use surrounding imaging radars and front-facing lidar, but may require driver intervention in certain situations. The first generation will be based on six EyeQ®5High SoCs, and future generations will be powered by three EyeQ®6 High SoCs or one EyeQ Ultra, our AV-on-Chip. We believe that this design win is an early sign of broad interest in consumer-level “eyes-off/hands-free” driving.
Building upon Mobileye Chauffeur, which targets the consumer-owned AV market, we are developing Mobileye Drive, our Level 4 self-driving system targeted for fleet-owned AMaaS and goods delivery networks. While these markets are still nascent, we view the potential use of autonomous driving technology
 
110

 
by the operators of passenger and goods transportation networks as unlocking significant efficiencies and safety improvements. While these networks will require multiple layers of technology, we believe the majority of the value will accrue to the companies that provide (1) the self-driving system itself, (2) the mobility intelligence platform and services, and (3) demand and user experience.
Self-Driving System Mobileye Drive encompasses our core autonomous driving technologies and will deliver all driving functions without the need for any in-vehicle human intervention. We believe our self-driving system has sustainable competitive advantages as a result of the cost efficiency, scalability, and regulatory validation of our technology platform:

Cost Efficiency — cost-efficient, low-energy, purpose-built central compute processors; imaging radars targeted to reduce the need for multiple lidar units and require only a single front-facing lidar;

Geographic Scalability — REM-based AV maps that eliminate the need for dedicated high-definition mapping efforts; RSS-based driving policy designed for global deployment by not relying on driving culture or local rules; sensing technologies built on a foundation of a massive data training set from over 40 countries; and

Regulatory Validation — True Redundancy, with independent, separate perception subsystems that increases robustness and ease of validation, RSS used by international bodies that are currently developing standards with respect to the safety of AV.
Mobility Intelligence Platform, Demand and Services — We provide this layer through Moovit, a leading urban mobility app and MaaS solutions provider, which was acquired by Intel in 2020 to support the Mobileye business and which will become wholly owned by us as part of the Reorganization. As of July 2, 2022, Moovit had more than 1.5 billion users globally and service in over 3,500 cities across 112 countries, and was generating approximately six billion anonymous data points daily, tracking mobility demand patterns globally, enabling a key mobility intelligence layer that can be used to intelligently predict ride demand and thus help to optimize fleet utilization
Demand and Rider Experience — Moovit’s global user base also provides a ready consumer base for our business-to-business customers. It also provides the necessary service and user-base layer within our own AMaaS solution.
While the technology to unlock these markets is approaching commercialization, business models on how services will be delivered are still nascent. Our strategy is to remain supportive of a variety of business models and pursue a variety of commercial programs, with a variety of partners, in a wide range of geographies. This strategy has gained traction over the last several years, as we are forming business-to-business collaborations with several public transportation operators and transportation network companies in the U.S. and Europe relating to our Self Driving System. We are also pursuing the business-to-customer channel with full vertically integrated MaaS activities in partnership with SIXT in Europe and in a Mobileye owned-and-operated network in Israel.
We believe we are well positioned to commercialize these opportunities, and that our scale, cost, and regulatory validation advantages will become evident to the broader market and lead to significant additional opportunities to grow these services globally.

We believe that our industry-leading technology platform, built upon multiple years of research, development, data collection and validation, gives us the unique ability to not only deliver excellent safety ratings with our ADAS solutions, but also to make the mass deployment of autonomous driving solutions a reality. We believe that the breadth of our solutions, combined with our global customer base, represents a significant market opportunity for us.
The Autonomous Vehicle Revolution
Autonomous driving is one of the most difficult technological challenges facing the world today. Autonomous driving as a technological concept has been at the forefront of human imagination for decades. Since the early 2000s, a number of automotive and technology companies have invested heavily to try to make this a reality.
Vehicle autonomy can be viewed as a spectrum, which uses the same technology building blocks to power the full span of driver assist functions, ranging from those available in hundreds of car models today, through full autonomy powering robotaxis and, eventually, personal autonomous vehicles. Basic driver assist features, such as automatic emergency braking or lane keeping assist, together with longitudinal control such as adaptive cruise control, fall into what is known as SAE Levels 1-2. The next level up refers to premium driver assist functions adding additional safety and comfort functionality, allowing the driver to experience hands free driving while the driver must still monitor the driving. Level 3 enables the driver to relinquish control under certain conditions such as highway driving. Vehicles equipped with Level 4 autonomy, which powers robotaxis and autonomous delivery vehicles, for example, operate within a certain operational design domain without driver input at all, but may rely on a teleoperator in rare circumstances. Level 5 autonomy requires no human driver intervention at all in any situation.
We believe that the path to full autonomy at scale will begin with increased proliferation of the middle category — premium driver assist — enabling hands-free highway driving, for example, and then will gradually extend to other types of roadways, such as rural, urban, and arterial roads. This will allow continued technological development and public trust and familiarity to grow and pave the way toward full autonomy. Our ADAS solutions, which have been deployed in more than 125 million vehicles, are important building blocks for these more advanced autonomous systems. We believe the key factors in the growth of autonomous driving will be increased safety, consumer demand, and other economic and social benefits, such as increased mobility for older adults and persons with disabilities, less traffic congestion, and the reduction of land use for parking.

Models for AV Adoption
We believe that the availability of AVs will cause a significant transformation in mobility, including vehicle ownership and utilization. We expect that AV technology will eventually be accessed by consumers through shared-vehicle AMaaS networks, as well as in consumer-owned and operated AVs. It is our view that, to reach the full potential of autonomous driving over the long-term, the technology solutions that enable these separate markets should converge over time, and that is reflected in our strategy.
Autonomous driving has the potential to dramatically increase the proliferation of shared mobility, creating greater utilization of what is currently a significantly underutilized asset, the car. We believe that this model will ultimately manifest itself in the form of networks operated by a variety of different automotive and technology companies, where the consumer will be able to hail on-demand transportation at the click of a button, instead of owning a vehicle.
In addition, we believe consumer-owned and operated AVs will fundamentally change how individuals utilize their vehicles. Today, cars are in operation for an average of only approximately one hour per day, implying owned vehicle utilization of only 4% per day according to the Department of Transportation. Automation would allow the vehicle to operate more hours per day, and more predictably, reliably, and safely. Providing consumers with access to affordable autonomous vehicles can add a number of entirely new uses for vehicles that have never been possible before. For example, if one wanted to ride in their car to work, instead of leaving the car in the parking lot all day, the car could drive around autonomously and pick up groceries or a package at a store.
As autonomous driving technology advances, a number of new transportation use cases are expected to emerge around the type of vehicle ownership, what is transported, and where and when the vehicle can operate. We believe that the most important factors in operating AMaaS networks will be the technology that powers the vehicles, as well as the scale of the network which will influence the availability of vehicles. As fleet operators increase network scale and availability of vehicles, the value of the platform to the user base will rise. We believe that mobility supply is developing in two main segments — automated public transport operators and automated transportation network companies — with very few companies able to operate within both over the long-term. It is our view that a flexible solution that supports both consumer AVs and AMaaS will be necessary to reach the full potential of autonomous driving over the long-term.
Challenges to Making Autonomous Vehicles Ubiquitous
To make autonomous vehicles at scale a reality, we believe that there are three core challenges that must be addressed:

Regulatory Endorsement — Autonomous driving solutions must be architected, by design, to be verifiably safe, in a manner that fosters broad societal and regulatory endorsement. Regulation is an often-overlooked factor. While laws and regulations are specific to human drivers, there are challenges
 
113

 
to balance safety and practicality of an AV in a manner that is acceptable to society. We believe it will be easier to develop laws and regulations governing a fleet of robotaxis than privately owned vehicles. A fleet operator would receive a limited license per use case, per geographic region and will be subject to extensive reporting and back-office remote operations. In contrast, licensing AVs to consumers would require a complete overhaul of the complex laws and regulations that currently govern drivers. Autonomy must wait until regulation and technology reach an equilibrium, which we believe will first be achieved through AMaaS deployments. Self-driving regulation is inherently complicated, and driving policy depends on “what would happen next” reasoning, which is not factual. Two humans might provide two different answers when asked whether an AV should yield to a car at an intersection or take the right of way. As a result, there is no clear definition of “error,” but rather, it is open to interpretation or depends on after-the-fact judgment. All motor vehicle drivers owe a duty of care to other road users, and autonomous vehicles will need to be held to the same standard. Statistically, autonomous vehicles should be safer than human drivers. However, for driving policy being “safer” does not always mean being better. As a society, we balance safety and practicality by determining what the “reasonable risk” we are willing to take is, and this is the type of question regulators will be required to address when licensing AV to navigate our roads.

Geographic Scale — Geographic scale refers to the challenge of creating high-definition maps with great detail and accuracy, and keeping those maps continuously updated, which is crucial for series production AVs. AMaaS vehicles can be confined to geofenced areas, which allows AVs to reach prominence through the robotaxi industry before expanding the operational driving domain to outside of those areas. While robotaxi operators may be successful providing their services in limited geofenced areas, broad-based consumer AV adoption requires the ability to drive safely anywhere, and in diverse environments, rather than only in geofenced areas.

Cost — The cost of a self-driving system commonly employed by robotaxis, with its cameras, radars, lidars, and high-performance computing is currently in the tens of thousands of dollars. This cost level is acceptable for the monetization model of a driverless ride-hailing service, but is far too expensive for series-production passenger cars. In order for autonomous driving consumer vehicles to scale in volume, we believe the cost of the self-driving system needs to be reduced significantly, such as to several thousands of dollars, an order of magnitude lower than the cost of market solutions to date. The ability to scale at low-cost, both from the on-board technology perspective and the cost of mapping, is critical to the mass adoption of AVs. AVs need to be safe, yet affordable, to achieve adoption among individuals and not just fleet operators.
Our Solutions
We are building a robust portfolio of end-to-end ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to provide the capabilities needed for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies. We pioneered “base” ADAS features to meet global regulatory requirements and safety ratings with our Driver Assist solution and we have since created a new category of ADAS with our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist and Premium Driver Assist offerings. We will be adding a new innovative Premium ADAS Solution, SuperVision™ Lite, which will utilize the SuperVision™ software stack with a scaled-down sensor suite and an ECU that will include in the future one EyeQ®6 High SoC. This solution will enable eyes-on/hands-free driving on highway road types (as compared to SuperVision™ which is expected to operate on various road types), next-generation automated parking functions, and EyeQ® Kit support, which will enable customers to deploy internally-developed software components on our EyeQ® SoCs while benefiting from our industry-leading technology platform. Additionally, by leveraging Mobileye SuperVision’s full-surround computer vision and True Redundancy, we are developing Mobileye Chauffeur, our consumer AV solution with a human driver still in the driver’s seat that may require driver intervention in certain situations, and Mobileye Drive, our Level 4 autonomous driving solution. Together with Moovit’s urban mobility and transit application and its global user base, we are developing our own AMaaS offering for consumers built upon Mobileye Drive. Our current offerings to Tier 1 and OEM customers do not include cameras, radars, lidar systems, or other sensors (except in particular cases). We intend in the future to offer radar and lidar products that are currently in development stages.

Our End-to-End ADAS and AV Solutions
Driver Assist
Base Driver Assist functions are foundational to our spectrum of ADAS and AV solutions and include critical safety features such as real-time detection of road users, geometry, semantics, and markings to provide safety alerts and emergency interventions. Our software algorithms and purpose-built hardware are designed to provide the driver with accurate and reliable driver assist solutions, promoting road safety.
Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist
Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist provides drivers with high-accuracy interpretations of a scene in real-time utilizing centimeter-level drivable path accuracy, foresight of the path ahead, and other semantic information provided by our crowdsourced REM mapping system. This additional input to the environmental model enhances speed and quality of the system’s decision-making. Our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist solution is category-defining and, with our REM mapping system, offers comprehensive in-path assist functionality through lateral vehicle control to maintain the driving path even when lane markings are partly visible or absent and through longitudinal vehicle control to adjust speed based on traffic signs, road markings, road conditions, and other traffic directions or hazards, independently of the driver. It additionally provides information of the road ahead, including geometry and driving semantics, and the often-complicated association of semantic indications to the different driving paths (e.g., traffic lights and traffic signs lane association) by relying on data from prior human driving activity on those roads.
Our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist offering was incorporated in Ford’s BlueCruise, beginning in 2021, across multiple makes and models, and Volkswagen announced in early 2022 that our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist offering is being incorporated in Volkswagen’s Travel Assist 2.5.

Mobileye SuperVisionTM Lite
Mobileye SuperVision™ Lite is our recently-introduced highway-only navigation and assisted driving solution with autonomous parking capabilities supported by our cloud-based enhancements such as REM™. Mobileye SuperVision™ Lite will utilize the SuperVision™ software stack, including our RSS policy model, and will be powered by a Mobileye ECU with one EyeQ®6 SoC, which will process data from the customer’s third party sensor suite featuring six cameras and five radars. Such cameras are expeceted to consist of two long-range 8-megapixel cameras in the front and rear and four 3-megapixel parking cameras. Mobileye’s SuperVision™ Lite will offer eyes-on/hands-free assisted driving on highway road types, as well as automated lane changes, evasive maneuvering, and red traffic light braking, and will also include all core Driver Assist safety features. This offering is expected to include EyeQ® Kit support, which will enable customers to deploy their own internally-developed software components on our EyeQ® SoCs while benefiting from our industry-leading technology platform.
 
115

 
Mobileye SuperVisionTM
Mobileye SuperVision, our Premium Driver Assist offering, is a point-to-point assisted driving navigation solution and includes cloud-based enhancements such as REM and supports OTA updates. Mobileye SuperVision includes our RSS policy model and supports 360-degree surround sensing with 11 cameras powered by a turnkey ECU with two EyeQ® 5 or, in the future, two EyeQ® 6 SoCs. Furthermore, in addition to supervised point-to-point assisted driving, Mobileye SuperVision is capable of changing lanes, managing priorities, and turning in intersections as well as engaging in automated parking, preventative steering, and braking, and other Driver Assist features. Our validated SuperVision technology enables the full spectrum of L3/L4 capabilities for OEMs as the foundational technology for these solutions. The 11 cameras (seven long range cameras and four parking cameras) provide full surround coverage and consist of 8-megapixel 120-degree and 28-degree cameras in the front, four 100-degree corner 8-megapixel cameras (two front-facing and two rear-facing), a 60-degree rear 8-megapixel camera and four wide-view 192-degree parking cameras mounted on the side mirrors and front and rear bumpers. The mapping is powered by REM to create a 360-degree environmental model, and RSS constrains the driving decisions to be compliant with an underlying formally proven model for safe driving decisions. This offering also includes EyeQ® Kit support, which will enable customers to deploy their own internally-developed software on our EyeQ® SoCs while benefiting from our industry-leading technology platform.
The first series production launch of this offering occurred in 2021 as Geely Group launched Mobileye SuperVision in its ZEEKR premium electric vehicle brand. A series of over-the-air updates added premium highway-assist features in 2022 and the full Mobileye SuperVision capability is expected to be implemented by the end of 2022 when high-definition mapping is integrated through an over-the-air update.
Successful productization with ZEEKR, in addition to multiple long-distance proof-of-concept expeditions in the United States and Europe, has accelerated customer engagement. We are engaged in advanced contractual negotiations with two major western OEMs for adoption of Mobileye SuperVision as a Premium Driver Assist solution across multiple vehicle models as well as consumer AV solutions. Additionally, we are expanding our collaboration with Geely as three additional brands under the Geely Group umbrella are expected to launch Mobileye SuperVision technology globally in upcoming electric vehicle models, beginning in 2023. Additionally, we have a design win with Vinfast to integrate Mobileye SuperVision into upcoming global vehicle launches expected to begin in 2023 and a consumer AV product expected in 2024.

Mobileye Chauffeur and Mobileye Drive
Our Mobileye Chauffeur first generation solution will be based on six EyeQ®5 High SoCs, and the next generation will be powered by three EyeQ®6 High SoCs or one EyeQ® Ultra, our AV-on-Chip. It will combine our leading computer vision, camera-based perception subsystem with a radar-lidar subsystem. Mobileye Chauffeur will provide 360-degrees of coverage through two independent and redundant sensing subsystems offering True Redundancy to reduce the validation burden and, along with REM AV maps and RSS, to increase scalability and safety.
In January 2022, we announced a design win of our consumer AV solution, Mobileye Chauffeur, with ZEEKR, Geely Group’s premium electric vehicle brand. Mobileye Chauffeur is expected to be capable of “eyesoff/hands-free” driving with a human driver still in the driver’s seat, in a gradually expanding operational driving domain, and is expected to use surrounding imaging radars and front-facing lidar, but may require driver intervention in certain situations. We believe that this is an early indication of the interest in consumer-level “eyes-off/hands-free” driving.
Mobileye Drive, our Level 4 solution, will encompass our core autonomous driving technologies found in Mobileye Chauffeur (360-degrees of coverage, REM, True Redundancy, and RSS) and will deliver the driving functions without the need for any in-vehicle human intervention by adding teleoperability and by minimizing cases where human input would be required. Mobileye Drive is designed to be powered by eight EyeQ®5High SoCs (versus six EyeQ®5High SoCs on Mobileye Chauffeur) and, by 2025, it will be powered by an EyeQ Ultra SoC, offering more compute with less power consumption. The overall solution will provide a turnkey self-driving system for movement of people and goods that is applicable to various vehicle configurations (such as passenger vehicles, special purpose pods / vehicles, shuttles, and buses) and will be relevant across the range of potential networks (including AMaaS, last-mile delivery and commercial delivery fleets).
Mobileye Drive may be offered across two increasingly vertically integrated product sets each underpinned by our full set of autonomous driving technology solutions:

Self-Driving System & Vehicles.   We expect to sell our Mobileye Drive Level 4 self-driving system through business-to-business channels into a range of transportation network operators and vehicle OEMs which would operate a variety of services (e.g., consumer-facing AMaaS, transportation on demand, and the delivery of goods). Example partners are Beep, Benteler, Lohr, Marubeni, RATP Group, Schaeffler, Udelv, and Willer. We announced a strategic collaboration with Benteler and Beep to develop and deploy fully electric, autonomous movers in public and private communities across North America aimed at first- and last-mile use cases in urban areas.

AMaaS.   Additionally, Mobileye Drive will be designed to interface with Moovit’s MaaS platform, which adds a service layer and a ready-made user base. As of July 2, 2022, Moovit had over 1.5 billion users globally and service in over 3,500 cities across 112 countries, and was generating approximately six billion anonymous data points daily, tracking mobility demand patterns globally, enabling a key mobility intelligence layer that can be used to intelligently predict ride demand and thus help to optimize fleet utilization. We believe this represents one of the world’s largest repositories of transit and mobility data. Moovit’s global user base will provide a ready consumer base for our business-to-business customers. It also will provide the necessary service and user-base layer within our own AMaaS solution where we plan to deploy Mobileye — Drive-enabled self-driving vehicles in an AMaaS network in partnership with fleet operators. Initial commercial deployments of this full-stack service are expected to take place in Munich and Tel Aviv.

Overall, we believe our proprietary set of software and hardware technology solutions, results in significant competitive advantages and a wider range of potential offerings compared to other approaches by industry participants attempting to commercialize network-deployed autonomous vehicles.
Our Data Driven Network Effect
We have assembled a substantial dataset of real-world driving experience, encompassing over 200 petabytes of data, which includes over 23 million clips collected over decades of driving on urban, highway, and arterial roads in over 80 countries. This data, plus proprietary search tools, enables us to develop and continuously improve our advanced computer vision algorithms to fit road scenarios and use cases that our system encounters. We utilize up to approximately 500,000 cloud CPU cores to process approximately 100 petabytes of data every month. We have developed sophisticated 2D and 3D automatic-labeling methodologies that, together with a team of over 2,300 external specialized annotators, allow for fast development cycles for our computer vision engines based on the dataset we have. In addition, our advanced data labeling infrastructure and data mining tools can unlock significant data-driven insights.
Additionally, we have created a separate dataset of 8.6 billion miles of roads driven as of July 2, 2022 from, based on our estimates, approximately 1.5 million REM-enabled vehicles worldwide. We then apply a series of on-cloud algorithms to build this crowd-sourced data into a high-definition, rapidly updating map that contains a rich variety of information, including road geometry, drivable paths, common speeds, right-of-way, and traffic light-to-lane associations.
These two datasets create powerful network effects as we seek to continually improve our solutions as more vehicles are deployed with our technology.
Our REM-enabled solutions continuously harvest high-precision data that is analyzed in the cloud, creating a large repository of real-world dataset from the analysis of up to 43 million miles of road data per day, varying by road types and geography.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d6-fc_road4c.jpg]
As we continue to rapidly scale our offerings, the benefits of greater data and higher intelligence incorporated into our REM mapping system not only accrue to our own platform, but also deliver benefits to our customers and to consumers through greater safety and expanded functionality. As the capabilities of our ADAS and autonomous driving solutions improve, we believe that consumer demand for our offerings will increase and lead to greater platform adoption, further accelerating our data collection worldwide. We believe our combination of data and intelligence gives us a significant competitive advantage and differentiates us as a scaled leader capable of advancing full autonomous solution capabilities based on real world road experience data and continuous validation of the safety solution. For example, we utilize our substantial dataset to build and improve the practical implementation of robotic decision making, which is referred to as “driving policy,” that formalizes a driving safety concept. Our autonomous driving solutions are founded on our core sensing and perception technologies and proprietary algorithms, and the safety validation of these solutions through continuous OTA enhancements. We believe the ability to drive autonomously in any environment in any condition at any time across urban, highway and arterial roads globally should be the goal. Doing so not only requires a significant amount of data, but also successfully solving and validating in a scalable way the challenges of delivering a safe solution at each level of autonomy. With a broad installed-base of REM connected vehicles that are collecting data and continually enhancing our solutions, we believe we are well positioned to build on our leadership position.

Our Large and Growing Market Opportunity
We define our market opportunity in terms of the TAM , which encompasses all hardware, software, and services required to address the current and future ADAS and AV markets, and our SAM, which is the estimated portion of the TAM that we believe we can address through our technology solutions and services. We define the near-term TAM and SAM in respect of the estimated market size in or about 2026 and the long-term TAM and SAM in respect of the estimated market size in or about 2030.
The TAM combines our market opportunities in ADAS and AV, including AMaaS. We estimate the current TAM to be approximately $16 billion, composed entirely of selected ADAS market opportunities. We expect the near-term TAM to be approximately $40 billion, and the long-term TAM to be approximately $480 billion, as the value of ADAS functionality increases and as AV deployment, both in consumer-owned vehicles and fleet-owned vehicle networks, accelerates. While the AV market is in its infancy today, we expect the deployment of solutions for this market to significantly increase, resulting in a substantial market opportunity for us. We believe we are currently at an inflection point to enable autonomous driving on a global scale. Combining market opportunities in ADAS and AV, including AMaaS, we estimate our current SAM to be approximately $5 billion and our near-term SAM to be approximately $21 billion, in each case, composed entirely of selected ADAS market opportunities, and we estimate our long-term SAM to be approximately $455 billion, which includes AV deployment.

We believe that ongoing and major regulatory changes, coupled with increased customer awareness of the benefits of active safety technology, will drive ADAS adoption to the point where the vast majority of new cars produced will be equipped with one or more ADAS features. Additionally, we believe that cloud-based enhancements such as Mobileye’s REMTM will provide additional value and functionality that will be increasingly available and cost-effective. In parallel, we see the emergence of the premium ADAS segment. The prominence of this segment is driven by products such as Mobileye SuperVision,TM which relies on the combination of cloud enhancements and cost-effective, high-resolution surround sensing that enables highly automated driving features across a wide range of road types and driving conditions
ADAS TAM:   We define the ADAS market as that for assisted driving solutions that support the driver, and the ADAS TAM as the market for select hardware and software components that enable this technology. We estimate the current ADAS TAM to be approximately $16 billion, near-term TAM to be approximately $31 billion and long-term TAM to be approximately $60 billion.
ADAS SAM: We define our ADAS SAM as the portion of the TAM that we believe can be addressed by our solutions in the Driver Assist, Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist, and Premium Driver Assist categories. We estimate our current ADAS SAM to be $5 billion and our near-term SAM to be approximately $12 billion, as consumer adoption of premium ADAS increases in the near-term. We estimate that our
 
120

 
ADAS SAM will continue to grow and estimate our long-term SAM to be approximately $35 billion. We believe our ADAS SAM will represent a larger percentage of the ADAS TAM over time, as we continue to increase our breadth of content in the overall ADAS value chain beyond the historical product set to include additional solutions such as driver monitoring systems, high-definition maps, hands-free point-to-point driving applications, and central compute ECUs.
Autonomous Vehicles
We believe the future of autonomous driving will unfold in two phases: commercial services such as robotaxis and commercial delivery (AMaaS), and passenger car consumer-owned AVs. The main inhibitors of a mass market product offering of consumer AVs include the cost of AV technology, the ability to scale geographically at a low cost, the regulatory framework and public acceptance. We see both the AMaaS vehicles and consumer AV deploying in parallel to unlock the full potential of this market. We divide the AV TAM into an AMaaS TAM and a Consumer AV TAM. We do not make a distinction between TAM and SAM in this market as we believe our technology and business solutions can address this market in an end-to-end manner.
AMaaS TAM
We define the AMaaS TAM as that for fleet-owned electric AVs that provide mobility-as-a-service and goods delivery and that will be supported by teleoperation services and will not require a driver. We believe these autonomous fleets will start by servicing limited geofenced areas, increasing over time to broader geographies.
We estimate the near term AMaaS TAM to be approximately $5 billion, increasing significantly to be approximately $360 billion in the long term. This estimate is based on estimated total miles traveled by the AMaaS fleet and the estimated cost per mile that will be paid by the user. We utilize the cost of consumer automobile ownership to estimate the revenue potential for the AMaaS market.
Consumer AV TAM
We define the consumer AV TAM as that for consumer-owned electric AVs capable of “eyes-off/hands- free” driving in a gradually expanding operational driving domain. Within this category, we include the set of limited operational design domain systems currently being pursued by us and other market participants (e.g., low-speed, highway-only “traffic jam pilot” systems). We also include the much more expansive operational design domain system that we are pursuing through our Mobileye Chauffeur™ solution.
We see Mobileye Chauffeur™ as a solution that will employ an approach that we believe is unique among other market participants. It will be enabled through an end-to-end set of proprietary Mobileye technologies that address the key inhibitors to consumer AV adoption of cost-effectiveness and geographic scalability, as we are targeting a solution that will enable L4 capabilities with an AV content value at under $6,000. We believe this solution will be able to unlock substantial market growth in the consumer AV category over time, a market category that is not yet understood or forecasted by most third-party research providers.
We estimate the near-term consumer AV TAM to be approximately $4 billion and the long-term TAM to be approximately $60 billion. This estimate is based on an estimate for the number of consumer AVs produced in a particular year and an estimate of the average AV content value per vehicle for the technology that enables the AV system.
We estimate the resulting total AV TAM (including AMaaS and consumer AV) in the near term to be approximately $9 billion, significantly increasing to approximately $420 billion in the long term.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d6-bc_estsam4c.jpg]
The estimates of the TAM and SAM are based on our internal estimates and forecasts, which involve a number of assumptions and limitations, including assumptions regarding our expectations of the market acceptance of autonomous driving and ADAS and the manner in which this new and rapidly evolving market will develop. These estimates, forecasts, assumptions, and expectations may differ from information contained in industry publications and reports or other publicly available information. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates and forecasts are reasonable, these assumptions, estimates and forecasts may not be correct and may change at any time. As a result, our assumptions, estimates and forecasts may prove to be incorrect, and the TAM and our SAM may be smaller than we have estimated. See “Risk Factors — We operate in an industry that is new and rapidly evolving, and the estimates and forecasts of TAM and SAM included in this prospectus are subject to significant uncertainty” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that our leadership in ADAS and autonomous driving is based primarily on our: (1) first-mover advantage; (2) technology, including differentiated technological cores and solution architectures; (3) comprehensive portfolio of solutions; (4) delivery, including agility, response times, and time-to-market; and (5) inherent cost-driven advantages. These significant advantages form the basis for our competitive strengths described below:

Coupling of software and hardware delivers optimized performance and efficiency — We design our own purpose-built SoCs and develop a software stack to optimally match the architecture of the SoCs. This results in an optimized cost/performance paradigm, allowing for a range of products that can be produced at high volume. Our coupled software and hardware architecture is highly differentiated from general purpose SoCs and software stacks that are not optimized for a specific use case. Our approach results in low power consumption and lean compute, yet is able to support a very powerful range of solutions for the ADAS and AV markets.

Scalable EyeQ® SoC design addresses the entire spectrum of ADAS and autonomous driving — Our proprietary accelerator cores are optimized for a wide variety of computer vision, signal processing, and machine learning tasks, including deep neural networks. Our EyeQ® architecture is highly scalable, powers our solutions, ranging from our base ADAS to highly advanced autonomous driving solutions, and is designed to support the increasingly computationally intensive demands of ADAS and autonomous driving solutions on the same architecture. We believe that our announced EyeQ Ultra, effectively an AV-on-Chip, will enable us to build a self-driving system at affordable consumer cost levels in the future.

Industry leading computer vision capabilities — ADAS solutions are responsible for saving lives and must meet very high-performance metrics with extreme levels of efficiency, and pass increasing oversight from regulatory bodies — “good enough” is simply not acceptable. We are a technology leader for computer vision solutions for ADAS, and we have continuously enhanced our leadership position since we launched with customers in 2007 through our ability to meet the extreme performance, accuracy, and cost metrics of our OEM customers. Our products primarily use monocular camera processing that works accurately alone, or together with radar and lidar for
 
122

 
redundancy. We have been responsible for many “industry first” launches using monocular vision processing. These include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, hands-free driving, and numerous other advanced functions based solely on computer vision. We have pioneered many computer vision features such as deep networks for the discovery of “free space” or the space available to the vehicle to drive in, so that a vehicle can determine a driving path without having a collision. We have enhanced our computer vision capabilities over time to include multiple cameras such as the trifocal camera configuration (three cameras with different fields of view placed side-by-side facing forward), which has been in series production since 2018, and the 11-camera configuration on our Mobileye SuperVision solution, which was launched in late 2021.

EyeQ Kit for developing and deploying differentiated features on top of EyeQ® SoC — Our platform is modular by design, and it is highly customizable, which allows our customers to benefit from our cutting-edge, verified, and validated core ADAS capabilities while enabling our customers to augment and differentiate their offerings. Our SDK provides access to all EyeQ® accelerators for programming and is enabled by a broad ecosystem of standard and proprietary software. EyeQ Kit brings together a team of compilers, simulators, profilers, and debuggers who have been working together for many years to develop a single software platform optimized for common workloads and industry standards. We believe EyeQ Kit accelerates time to market for our customers at a lower cost than alternative in-house solutions, while strengthening our partnerships by encouraging our customers to customize their offerings on top of our platform.

“Scale by design” approach — Our technology platform is built to deliver autonomous driving solutions at scale by leveraging our REMTM mapping technology, which will allow our solutions to be driven without the limitations of geofencing; our True Redundancy approach, which allows for cost-efficient validation; our RSS and driving policy, which provides a framework for regulatory certainty and lean compute that is critical for mass-deployment; and, our active sensor architecture based on our imaging radars, which we expect will help support consumer AV production at scale in the future.

Autonomous driving-ADAS synergies — The autonomous driving-ADAS interplay, which is borne out of our True Redundancy architecture, is bi-directional: advanced technologies transfer from autonomous driving to ADAS and significantly enhance our market proposition, and in turn, these advanced autonomous driving technologies are validated in commercial, mass market ADAS deployments and contribute to the process of verifying and validating the various elements of our autonomous driving solution stack. Moreover, our scalable architecture provides our OEM partners with operational efficiencies as modular technology platform architecture minimizes the OEMs’ integration and validation burden as our solutions can be seamlessly deployed across multiple vehicle segments.

Road Experience Managementcreates a powerful network effect and long-term competitive advantage — Our REM system is a crucial ingredient that we believe allows for: (1) defining a new category of cloud-enhanced ADAS that we call Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist, where information in Mobileye Roadbook enhances existing ADAS functions such as lane keeping assist and lane-centering and allows for new functions such as the analysis of behavior patterns in intersections and near traffic signs and lights; (2) evolving ADAS to an “eyes-on/hands-free” point-to-point assisted driving navigation; and (3) the scale deployment of AV. REM is complex, requiring advanced processing at the edge (for creating processed data to be sent to the cloud and for localizing the vehicle at centimeter-level accuracy in Mobileye Roadbook), and computationally intensive processing in the cloud to build Mobileye Roadbook from billions of data packets sent from millions of vehicles — all automatically. REM benefits from a powerful network effect, where more vehicles with REM enabled technology from which we are able to collect and process data, not only improves our own solutions, but also delivers benefits to our customers and to consumers through greater safety and expanded functionality. We believe this network effect creates a powerful competitive advantage, particularly given our leadership position in ADAS, as we are able to efficiently collect large amounts of data from our consumer solutions already deployed on roads globally through their regular use. Our AV maps also support our efforts to deploy in new cities and geographies quickly, and in 2021, we announced the expected initial commercial deployment of our AMaaS offering in
 
123

 
Munich and Tel Aviv together with Moovit in addition to our current testing sites in China, Israel, Detroit, Miami, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Tokyo.

Data and technology advantage — Developing effective ADAS technology is technologically complex, and requires the development of large validation datasets in order to train the required software algorithms effectively, a long-term commitment to validation and qualification with an OEM before series production can even begin, and significant financial resources. We have assembled a substantial dataset of real-world driving experience, encompassing over 200 petabytes of data, which includes over 23 million clips collected over decades of driving on urban, highway, and arterial roads in over 80 countries that enable us to develop advanced computer vision algorithms to fit road scenarios and use cases that our system encounters. We utilize up to approximately 500,000 cloud CPU cores to process approximately 100 petabytes of data every month. We have developed sophisticated 2D and 3D automatic-labeling methodologies that, together with a team of over 2,300 external specialized annotators, allow for fast development cycles for our computer vision engines based on the dataset we have. In addition, our advanced data labeling infrastructure and data mining tools can unlock significant data-driven insights. In parallel, we have created a rich dataset of 8.6 billion miles of roads driven as of July 2, 2022 from, based on our estimates, approximately 1.5 million REM™-enabled vehicles worldwide. Over the last six months alone, we estimate that the data we have accumulated covers over 90% and 80% of the approximately 0.8 million miles of motorway, trunk, and primary road types in each of the United States and Europe, respectively. This data enables us to create robust high definition maps to support solutions across the product spectrum from cloud-enhanced ADAS to Mobileye SuperVision Lite and Mobileye SuperVision to Mobileye Drive and Mobileye Chauffeur. Our dataset creates a powerful network effect as we seek to continually improve our solutions as more vehicles are deployed with our technology.

RSS and driving policy are designed for global deployment — We published our RSS model in 2017, to address the regulatory and public debate regarding, and enable the acceptance of, “eyes-off/hands-free” autonomous solutions. RSS is the key enabler of our lean compute driving policy design, where we distinctly separate driving comfort features from safety-related inhibitions and adjustments. Our framework monitors and establishes driving policy by identifying intentions in order to only predict the plausible actions of road users, significantly reducing possible options and computational demands. Our RSS-based driving policy is designed for global deployment, as it does not need to be tailored to specific driving cultures. In 2021, we announced the expected initial commercial deployment of our AMaaS offering in Munich and Tel Aviv together with Moovit in addition to our current testing sites in China, Israel, Detroit, Miami, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Tokyo.

Purpose-built imaging-radar unlocks consumer AV at scale — We are developing software-defined imaging-radar with cutting-edge dynamic range and resolution. Our differentiated True Redundancy architecture, which is adaptable to different lidar architectures, will leverage our imaging-radar, which we believe will give us the ability to significantly reduce the cost of the overall sensor suite by replacing multiple, expensive lidars around the vehicle, with only a single front-facing lidar sensor, which we believe will support consumer AV production at scale.

Moovit provides a stand-ready user base for our AMaaS solutions — Moovit is our urban mobility and transit application. As of July 2, 2022, Moovit had over 1.5 billion users globally and service in over 3,500 cities across 112 countries, and was generating approximately six billion anonymous data points daily, tracking mobility demand patterns globally, enabling a key mobility intelligence layer that can be used to intelligently predict ride demand and thus help to optimize fleet utilization. We believe this represents one of the world’s largest repositories of transit and mobility data. Moovit also offers a MaaS solution to cities, and transit agencies covering planning, operations, and optimization of their mobility systems. Moovit’s applications provide powerful AI-powered urban mobility services covering planning, operations, and analytics for multimodal trips.

Deep, collaborative ecosystem relationships — Our deep global relationships with key partners across the value chain, from component suppliers, through Tier 1 customers and up to OEMs, offer us a broad and diverse set of collaboration opportunities for high-performance computing, networking, and advanced packaging technologies, among others, from the vehicle to the cloud. Together with our partners, we believe that we can accelerate the pace of autonomous innovation and market adoption

Our Growth Strategies
Key levers of our growth strategy are:

Benefit from regulatory and safety rating changes promoting base ADAS — We intend to continue to lead and deliver upon global regulatory and safety requirements for base ADAS features by maintaining and enhancing our vision only solution. We expect a strong increase in base ADAS fitment rates due to global regulatory and safety requirements, as OEMs move to adopt standard ADAS technology for the vast majority of new model launches. We plan to continue to leverage our technology leadership and strong customer relationships to position us for additional design wins with high production volumes. As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. In 2021, 2020, and 2019, we shipped approximately 28.1 million, 19.7 million, and 17.5 million, respectively, of our SoCs. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins. These estimates are based on projections of future production volumes that were provided by the OEMs at the time of sourcing our design wins with them for the models related to those design wins. These estimates may deviate from actual production volumes (which may be higher or lower than the estimates) and do not include design wins after October 1, 2022. We believe that our comprehensive stack of solutions and proven success at scale will enable us to further solidify our industry leadership.

Capitalize on Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist features — We have pioneered a cloud-enhanced ADAS solution, which offers customers using advanced EyeQ® versions (EyeQ®4 and above) a significant value through our REM technology. Our Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist solution is capable of utilizing our EyeQ® SoCs and entry level camera technologies to deliver feature enhancements over time. Our Cloud-Enhanced Premium ADAS features range in complexity from all road-type lane keeping assist and lane centering, to Cross-Junction Assist, to Traffic Jam Assist. We will continue to grow the depth and breadth of our AV maps in order to deliver leading ADAS capabilities. In the future, we plan to create revenue streams from our OTA capabilities and AV maps through solution upgrades.

Further enhance and drive adoption of our Premium Driver Assist solutions — Our Mobileye SuperVision solution represents a comprehensive “eyes-on/hands-free” ADAS solution. It was launched by Geely Group for its ZEEKR premium electric vehicle brand, and we are expanding our collaboration as three additional brands under the Geely Group umbrella are expected to launch Mobileye SuperVision technology globally in upcoming electric vehicle models, beginning in 2023. We believe that the high value-add, our continuous efforts to add capabilities, as well as the competitive price point of Mobileye SuperVision will allow it to gain strong market traction in the coming years. Our validated SuperVision technology enables the full spectrum of L3/L4 capabilities for OEMs as the foundational technology for these solutions. In addition, our Mobileye SuperVision configuration of sensors and compute can also be transformed into an effective “360 guardian,” helping the driver avoid accidents, as referenced in our Vision Zero publications. We believe that Mobileye SuperVision has the potential to transform ADAS at its core, potentially leading to adoption driven by regulatory requirements and safety ratings of a Mobileye SuperVision-like solution in its own category, similar to how safety-ratings and regulation have driven the adoption of base ADAS beginning in 2014.
Additionally, we recently added a new innovative Premium ADAS solution, SuperVision™ Lite, which will utilize the SuperVision™ software stack with a down-scaled sensor suite and an ECU that will include one EyeQ®6 High SoC in the future. The solution will enable eyes-on/hands-free driving on highway road types (as compared to SuperVision™ which is expected to operate on
 
125

 
various road types), and next-generation automated parking functions. Mobileye SuperVision™ Lite will provide OEMs with higher levels of autonomy than Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist, which we believe will expand the application and adoption of our products.
Our Premium Driver Assist offerings are expected to be available with EyeQ® Kit support, which will enable OEM customers to deploy their own internally-developed software on our EyeQ® SoCs while benefiting from our industry-leading technology platform.

Innovate and commercialize our next-generation autonomous driving solutions — Propelled by our next generation AV-on-Chip SoC, which we call EyeQ Ultra, our surround computer vision Mobileye SuperVision solution and our True Redundancy architecture, we believe that we will be positioned to deliver an autonomous driving solution that can enable the mass adoption of AV. We plan to continue to develop innovative and cost-optimized solutions to deliver comprehensive capabilities for mass market adoption to our customers based on key technology breakthroughs such as our EyeQ Ultra SoC design, surround computer vision Mobileye SuperVision solution and True Redundancy architecture. We believe the introduction of our premium ADAS capabilities with our launched Mobileye SuperVision solution and our Level 4 capabilities with Mobileye Drive will help us continue to provide our customers with innovative solutions and enable further growth for us. We plan to continue to build and enhance our full-stack technology platform in order to offer an affordable, time-saving and much safer driving experience, which we believe will propel the mass-market adoption of autonomous driving solutions.

Utilize our flexible platform to expand our collaboration with our OEM customers — We have designed our EyeQ® SoCs together with an EyeQ Kit™ to enable co-hosting of third-party software and customer workloads on vehicles equipped with our solutions. We plan to continue to develop our platform to offer our customers the ability to seamlessly address the additional capabilities and features that they demand by customizing their offerings on top of our platform. We are partnering with leading technology suppliers to expand our products by offering features and services alongside our core technology platform such as driver monitoring systems, parking functions, and visualization features. In addition, our SDKs enable OEMs to innovate on top of our platform, augmenting and differentiating their offerings, while benefiting from our cutting-edge, verified and validated core ADAS capabilities.

Capitalize on our active sensor technology — We intend to continue to develop and commercialize next-generation active sensors such as software-defined imaging radars, which leverage our AI capabilities. Our software-defined imaging radars are designed to form a standalone “sensing state” layer which can be utilized as a sensing layer on its own, enabling 360-degree coverage, replacing multiple lidar sensors and requiring only a single front-facing lidar. Together with Intel, we also are currently in the early stages of development of FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite. We believe enhancing our sensing and perception technology leadership will further strengthen our competitive position and allow us to offer additional differentiated and cost-effective solutions to our customers.

Accelerate our roadmap of next generation proprietary EyeQ® SoCs — We believe that we have created the standard for processors focused on computer vision. Our EyeQ® SoCs are purpose-built for sensing and perception technologies and optimized for high throughput and power efficiency. We intend to continue to accelerate our technology leadership with a focus on silicon, packaging, and systems level needs to deliver cost-efficient processing at the edge. EyeQ Ultra, which we announced in January 2022, will leverage 5nm process technology and be built to address the needs of Level 4 AV without requiring the additional power and cost that comes with multiple SoCs integrated together. Our architecture is highly scalable and is designed to support the increasing and computationally intensive demands of future autonomous driving applications.

Utilize our substantial and growing dataset to continuously improve the intelligence and robustness of our solutions — We will continue to grow the depth and breadth of our substantial dataset, which, as of July 2, 2022, encompassed over 200 petabytes of data and 8.6 billion miles of AV mapped roads from, based on our estimates, approximately 1.5 million REM-enabled vehicles worldwide. We believe that our ability to use this data to create, maintain, and improve our high-precision AV maps
 
126

 
through our REM mapping system will enable us to further improve our ADAS offerings and position us well for autonomous driving.

Establish our Level 4 autonomous and AMaaS solutions — We believe that Mobileye Chauffeur and Mobileye Drive will unlock new use cases and end-consumers for our OEM and fleet-owner customers, which will be applicable for both the AMaaS and consumer AV markets. We expect to add additional cities to our AMaaS offerings to showcase our industry-leading technology and to help accelerate the pace of AV adoption. We also expect to continue to invest in our ecosystem partnerships with OEMs and fleet operators in order to foster close collaboration and further commercialize our autonomous technologies.

Benefit from opportunities in large emerging markets — We intend to continue to invest in partnerships in China and India, among other emerging markets, to accelerate ADAS and autonomous driving adoption. In India, Mahindra & Mahindra, one of the country’s largest automakers, has launched the first vehicle made locally to offer ADAS capabilities — the XUV700 powered by our EyeQ® SoC. Its accessible price point compared to imported alternatives expands the ADAS reach to a broader range of consumers in one of the most populous countries in the world. We believe our long-term partnerships with large Chinese OEMs such as Geely, Great Wall Motors, and SAIC, and Indian OEMs such as Mahindra & Mahindra position our solutions at the forefront of continued innovation and market growth.

The deployment mix of these accelerators varies by product line based on the functions each EyeQ® SoC supports. Our accelerator architecture allows us to achieve high compute performance with power efficiency.
Our EyeQ® family of products includes:
[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d19-tbl_eyeq4c.jpg]

EyeQ®1 — launched in 2007, supported two bundle types: (1) Lane Departure Warning (“LDW”), Traffic Sign Recognition (“TSR”) and Intelligent High-beam Control (“IHC”); and (2) LDW and Vehicle Automatic Emergency Braking (“AEB”) fusion with radar. EyeQ®1 was an industry first supporting camera/radar ACC.

EyeQ®2 — launched in 2010, supported a variety of functional bundles, including LDW, TSR, IHC, Forward Collision Warning (“FCW”) and AEB for vehicles and pedestrians (partial braking). EyeQ®2 was an industry first with Pedestrian AEB, and Adaptive Cruise Control (“ACC”).

EyeQ®3 — launched in the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition to significant upgrades of all of the above functions, EyeQ®3 supports full braking AEB, structure from motion functionalities, road profile reconstruction, debris detection, general object detection, traffic light detection and REM. EyeQ®3 was an industry first with Highway Autopilot, Camera-only AEB and full in path assisted driving.

EyeQ®4 Mid and EyeQ®4 High — launched in early 2018. EyeQ®4 supports processing from multiple cameras (including multi-focal or ultra-high-resolution front facing and side/rear), as well as other sensor perception modalities through two models: EyeQ®4 Mid and EyeQ®4 High. EyeQ®4 Mid is a one-box windshield solution that offers around 1.1 tera operations per second (“TOPS”) supporting up to Level 2 functionality and EyeQ®4 High offers 2 TOPS supporting REM mapping and localization to provide Level 2+ functionalities. EyeQ®4 was the first SoC to support REM Map Harvesting and an industry first supporting 100-degree cameras.

EyeQ®5 Mid and EyeQ®5 High — designed to act as the central computing processor to enable fully autonomous driving vehicles, EyeQ®5 comes in two forms: EyeQ®5 Mid and EyeQ®5 High. EyeQ®5 Mid is a one-box windshield solution designed to support up to Level 2+ functionality. EyeQ®5 High supports Premium ADAS and up to Level 4 functionality powering both our Mobileye SuperVision and Mobileye Drive solutions. Volume production began in 2021. EyeQ®5 is designed on the 7nm fin field-effect transistor (“FinFET”) technology node and offers around 15 TOPS on the EyeQ®5 High and more than 4 on the EyeQ®5 Mid. We have been able to achieve power, performance, and cost targets by employing proprietary computational cores that are optimized for a wide variety of computer vision, signal processing, and machine learning tasks, including deep neural networks. Starting with EyeQ®5, we are supporting a complete SDK to allow customers to differentiate their solutions by deploying their algorithms on EyeQ®5. EyeQ®5 serves as the computational foundation for our scalable camera-only surround sensing system. The system consists of multiple independent computer vision engines and deep networks for algorithmic redundancy. The result is a robust and comprehensive model of the environment that allows end-to-end autonomous driving. It is also the industry’s first solution supporting 120-degree 8-megapixel cameras.
 
129

 

EyeQ®6 Lite and EyeQ®6 High — announced in January 2022, the EyeQ®6 Lite, a one-box windshield optimized solution, is designed to deliver entry and premium Level 2 ADAS functionality at ultra-low power and high efficiency. Also announced in January 2022, the EyeQ®6 High will support premium ADAS or partial AV capabilities with full surround and support for visualization and heavy AI workloads with 34 TOPS in 40 watts representing lean compute. This centralized solution will provide all ADAS Level 2 functionalities, multi-camera processing (including parking cameras), and will host third-party apps such as parking visualization and driver monitoring. Both the EyeQ®6 Lite and EyeQ®6 High are designed on the 7nm FinFET process technology node. We expect to release the EyeQ®6 Lite/High in 2023 or 2024 and begin production by the end of 2024.

EyeQ Ultra — announced in January 2022, EyeQ Ultra is designed to maximize both effectiveness and efficiency at 176 TOPS. First silicon for the EyeQ Ultra SoC is expected at the end of 2023, with full automotive-grade production in 2025. EyeQ Ultra is built to address the needs of Level 4 AV without the power and cost to integrate multiple SoCs together. EyeQ Ultra utilizes an array of four classes of proprietary accelerators, each built for a specific task. These accelerators are paired with additional central processing unit cores, ISPs, and GPUs in a highly efficient solution capable of processing input from two sensing subsystems — one camera-only system and the other radar and lidar combined — as well as the vehicle’s central computing system, the high-precision AV map and driving policy software. The EyeQ Ultra is designed on the 5nm FinFET process technology node. First silicon for the EyeQ Ultra SoC is expected at the end of 2023, and we expect the EyeQ Ultra SoC to be ready for production in 2025.
Our Partnerships with STMicroelectronics and Intel
Our long-standing relationship with STMicroelectronics continues to strengthen with the complexity of our solutions. Our partnership includes close collaboration in product development, design, and manufacturing. For example, we have co-developed the seven EyeQ® generations, including the launched EyeQ®6 and EyeQ Ultra SoCs. We also benefit from STMicroelectronics’ advanced packaging and testing capabilities and automotive expertise. Together with STMicroelectronics, we are working on developing and productizing next-generation automotive-grade technology for high volume automotive applications, which we believe will accelerate the pace of autonomous innovation and market adoption.
Our close partnership with Intel exists on multiple fronts. As a result of our relationship with Intel, we have access to unique and differentiating technologies such as proprietary silicon photonics fabrication technologies, which we may leverage for the early development of our FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar sensors to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite. We may also license certain technologies from Intel that support design and development of our software-defined radar, including Intel’s mmWave technologies. Additionally, we intend to explore a collaboration with Intel on a technology platform to integrate our EyeQ® SoC with Intel’s market-leading central compute capability, with plans to utilize Intel Foundry Services’ advanced packaging capabilities. This potential platform is intended to enable functions essential to safety, entertainment, and cloud connectivity. Intel’s strength in government affairs and policy development around the world will continue to be of significant value to us as we collaborate with regulators who are preparing frameworks to enable commercial deployment of AVs.
Manufacturing
Our products are designed and manufactured specifically for automotive applications after extensive validation tests under stringent automotive environmental conditions.
We partner with STMicroelectronics, a leading supplier and innovator of semiconductor devices for automotive applications, in manufacturing, design and research and development. We have co-developed seven generations of our automotive grade SoC, EyeQ®, with STMicroelectronics including EyeQ®5, EyeQ®6 and EyeQ Ultra. We design the front-end and STMicroelectronics designs the back-end package and also includes testing, quality assurance, customer care, failure analysis and manufacturing standards. All of our EyeQ® integrated circuits are manufactured by or outsourced to a partner foundry by STMicroelectronics.

We have also established a relationship with Quanta Computer to develop and assemble our ECUs including our reference design for our Mobileye SuperVision solution, which includes our EyeQ®5 SoCs from STMicroelectronics.
As a result of our relationship with Intel, we have access to unique and differentiating technologies such as proprietary silicon photonics fabrication technologies, capable of putting active and passive optical elements on a chip together, including lasers and optical amplifiers, loaded onto a photonic integrated circuit. We may leverage this technology, which has the ability to put an active laser in a package, for the early development of our FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar sensors to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite.
Regulation and Ratings
Automobile safety is driven by both regulations and the availability to consumers of independent assessments of the safety performance of different car models. These assessments have encouraged OEMs to produce cars that are safer than those required by law. In many countries, these NCAPs have created a “market for safety” as car manufacturers seek to demonstrate that their models satisfy the various NCAPs’ highest ratings.
National NCAPs will continue to add specific ADAS applications to their evaluation items over the next several years, led by the Euro NCAP. In the EU, pre-market approval is required for all vehicles sold, and many manufacturers choose to satisfy a set of technical criteria determined by the Euro NCAP. The Australian, Japanese, and Korean NCAPs’ have fully harmonized their policies with the Euro NCAP. In the United States, ADAS regulation continues to make large strides. For example, the INVEST in America Act, which was passed in late 2021, requires the U.S. Department of Transportation to issue requirements and standards regarding vehicle safety technologies. On the AV front, our RSS driving policy provides a cornerstone for global standardization efforts of the safety of assisted and automated driving, in particular IEEE 2846, a working group of approximately 30 organizations in the industry that we lead.
At the federal level in the United States, the safety of motor vehicles is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation through two federal Agencies — the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (the “NHTSA”), which regulates all motor vehicles, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (the “FMCSA”), which regulates commercial motor vehicles. NHTSA establishes the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (the “FMVSS”) for motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment and oversees the actions that manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment are required to take regarding the reporting of information related to defects or injuries related to their products and the recall and repair of vehicles and equipment that contain safety defects or fail to comply with the FMVSS. FMCSA regulates the safety of commercial motor carriers operating in interstate commerce, the qualifications and safety of commercial motor vehicle drivers, and the safe operation of commercial trucks.
While there are currently no mandatory federal U.S. regulations expressly pertaining to the safety of autonomous driving systems, the U.S. Department of Transportation has established recommended voluntary guidelines, and the NHTSA or the FMCSA, as applicable, have authority to take enforcement action should an automated driving system pose an unreasonable risk to safety or inhibit the safe operation of a motor vehicle. Certain U.S. states have legal restrictions on autonomous driving vehicles, and many other states are considering them. These variations increase the legal complexity of deploying our solutions. If discrepancies emerge in the legal restrictions adopted by different U.S. states, our plan is to develop our technology to comply with the strictest standards. We will continue to actively monitor regulatory developments in the U.S. and intend to adjust our products and solutions as needed.
In Europe, certain vehicle safety regulations apply to self-driving braking and steering systems, and certain treaties also restrict the legality of certain higher levels of autonomous driving vehicles. In jurisdictions that follow the regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, some regulations restrict the design of advanced driver-assistance or self-driving features, which can compromise or prevent their use entirely. Other applicable laws, both current and proposed, may hinder the path and timeline to introducing self-driving vehicles for sale and use in the markets where they apply. Other markets, including China, continue to consider self-driving regulation. Any implemented regulations may differ materially from those in the United States and Europe, which may further increase the legal complexity of self-driving

vehicles and limit or prevent certain features. Autonomous driving laws and regulations are expected to continue to evolve in numerous jurisdictions in the United States and foreign countries and may create restrictions on autonomous driving features that we develop.
In order for us to operate in international markets outside the United States, we must comply with relevant legal regulations regarding autonomous vehicles as well as technology export control, data security, cybersecurity and other related regulations that apply to global technology companies. We have developed robust compliance processes and procedures related to these regulatory requirements and believe that we are in compliance with such requirements.
On October 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) announced new restrictions on the export of advanced computing integrated circuits and related items to China and certain other jurisdictions. While these restrictions are new and have not yet been interpreted and applied, based on our existing customer base and the export classifications for our existing chip products, we do not believe that these new U.S. export controls will have a material impact on our sales of these products to our existing customers in China. Export control regulations adopted by the United States and other jurisdictions are subject to change and interpretation, and it is possible that future regulatory actions by BIS impacting U.S. exports of integrated circuits and related items to China could have a material impact on our business operations in China.
Data Privacy
Privacy is fundamental to Mobileye. We collect, process, transmit, and store personal information in connection with the operation of our business and are subject to a variety of local, state, national and international laws, directives and regulations that apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, security, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal data in the different jurisdictions in which we operate. Data collected by the camera of our solutions during the development cycle of a project may include personal information such as license plate numbers of other vehicles, facial features of pedestrians, appearance of individuals, GPS data, and geolocation data in order to train the data analytics and AI technology equipped in our solutions for the purpose of identifying different objects and predicting potential issues that may arise during the operation of a motor vehicle. Our data-collection processes implement strict methodologies to comply with data protection and privacy laws, including the European General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”).
We leverage systems and applications that are spread over the countries in which we do business, requiring us to regularly move data across national borders. As a result, we are subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States, China, the European Union, and other foreign jurisdictions as well as contractual obligations, regarding data privacy, protection, and security.
The scope and interpretation of the laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly with respect to foreign laws. We are subject to the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018. EU member states have enacted certain implementing legislation that adds to and/or further interprets the GDPR requirements. The GDPR, together with national legislation, regulations and guidelines of the EU member states and the United Kingdom governing the processing of personal data, impose strict obligations and restrictions on the ability to collect, use, retain, protect, disclose, transfer, and otherwise process personal data with respect to EU and UK data subjects. In particular, the GDPR includes obligations and restrictions concerning the consent and rights of individuals to whom the personal data relates, the transfer of personal data out of the EEA or the United Kingdom, security breach notifications and the security and confidentiality of personal data. Other countries have enacted or are considering enacting similar cross-border data transfer rules or data localization requirements.
Additionally, on June 28, 2018, California enacted the CCPA, which came into effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA creates individual privacy rights for California residents and increases the privacy and security obligations of entities handling personal data of California consumers and meeting certain thresholds. In addition, many similar laws have been proposed at the federal level and in other states. State laws are changing rapidly and there is discussion in Congress of a new federal data protection and privacy law to which we would become subject if it is enacted.
 
132

 
In China, the PRC Cyber Security Law became effective on June 1, 2017. The Cyber Security Law reaffirms the basic principles and requirements specified in other existing laws and regulations on personal information protection, such as the requirements on the collection, use, processing, storage, and disclosure of personal information. Specifically, it requires that network operators take technical measures and other necessary measures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the compulsory requirements of the national and industrial standards to safeguard the safe and stable operation of its networks, maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of network data, take technical and other necessary measures to ensure the security of the personal information they have collected against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss, and formulate contingency plans for network security incidents and remediation measures. It also requires a subset of network operators that meet certain thresholds to be critical information infrastructure operators (“CIIO”) to store personal information and important data collected and generated during its operation within the territory of China locally on servers in China.
Our Competition
The ADAS and autonomous driving industries are highly competitive. In the ADAS and consumer AV market, we face competition primarily from other external providers including Tier 1 automotive suppliers and silicon providers, and in-house solutions developed by the OEMs. Our Tier 1 customers may be developing or may in the future develop competing solutions. For example, certain of our competitors have announced that they are operating autonomous robotaxis. Tier 1 automotive supplier competitors include Bosch, Continental, and Denso. Our silicon provider competitors include Ambarella, Advanced Micro Devices, Arriver / Qualcomm, Black Sesame Technologies, Horizon Robotics, Huawei, NVIDIA, NXP, Renesas Electronics, and Texas Instruments. OEMs who have or are pursuing their own in-house solutions are also indirect competitors, with Tesla and Mercedes-Benz being examples of automakers taking that approach today, with others such as General Motors, NIO, Volvo Cars, and Xpeng Motors also pursuing in-house solutions for portions of the ADAS software stack. In the future, our indirect competitors could become direct competitors.
In the autonomous driving market, including AMaaS and consumer AV, we face competition from technology companies, internal development teams from the automakers themselves, sometimes in combination with investments in early-stage autonomous vehicle technology companies, Tier 1 automotive companies, as well as robotaxi providers. AMaaS competitors include Argo AI, Aurora, Cruise, Motional, Pony.ai, Waymo, Yandex, and Zoox in the United States and Europe and Auto X, Baidu, Deeproute.ai, Didi Chuxing, Momenta, and WeRide in China. Consumer AV competitors include Apple, Sony, and Tesla, who are developing self-driving vehicles for consumers.
Developing effective ADAS technology is technologically complex, requires the development of large validation datasets in order to train the required software algorithms effectively, requires a long-term commitment to validation and qualification with an OEM before series production can even begin, and requires significant financial resources. In addition, our tightly coupled software and hardware solutions, which are based on highly advanced, road-tested, sensing and perception technologies from decades of leadership in computer vision and powered by our mission critical software and purpose-built EyeQ® family of SoCs are extremely hard to replicate.
Moovit competes against urban mobility applications and MaaS solutions which provide transportation services and navigation data to consumers. Moovit’s free application competition includes Alphabet, Apple, Citymapper, and Transit. Moovit’s application also competes with on-demand service providers that provide multi-modal ride services and route planning through their own services including Lyft, TransLoc, Trapeze, Uber, and Via.
The principal competitive factors impacting the market for our solutions include:

completeness of our technology platform including SoCs, sensing and perception technologies, sensor fusion architecture, high-precision mapping system, and supporting software and algorithms;

ability to design and develop ADAS and autonomous driving solutions that meet our customers’ needs;
 
133

 

automotive quality standards, compliance, and performance in all areas of ADAS and autonomous driving;

agile software validation and robust product release discipline;

scalability, and cost efficiency of our solutions;

engineering capabilities, the ability to innovate and continuously improve our technology;

pricing;

design and development support for our customers;

manufacturing reliability and the ability to make on-time delivery of appropriate quantities of product at a consistent level of quality;

ability to meet regulatory requirements;

intellectual property protection; and

brand and reputation, including the ability to market new offerings.
We believe we compete favorably with respect to these factors. In addition, as the ADAS and autonomous driving markets progress and, in some use cases, converge, we believe we will be in a favorable position to achieve meaningful business wins given our differentiated capabilities.
Distribution and Marketing
Our products are sold directly to customers throughout the world, or through distribution channels for our aftermarket products meant for vehicles that do not come pre-equipped with ADAS technology.
We actively promote our brand and technologies to increase awareness and generate demand through direct marketing as well as co-marketing programs. Our direct marketing to consumers and businesses primarily includes trade events, industry and consumer communications and press relations. We work closely with our existing customers in order to ensure that we are aware of their requirements and plans for future car models and can respond promptly and effectively.
We regularly present our technology to regulators and safety organizations to demonstrate its capabilities and reliability and to help ensure that they develop regulations and ratings that address the full range of benefits that we believe we can offer.
Research and Development
We believe our strong research and development is our principal competitive strength and has led to our position in the market. Our research and development activities are predominantly conducted in Israel. We have more than 80% of our full time-equivalent employees engaged in research and development, many of whom have been with the company for significant tenures. Our research and development efforts focus on algorithms, including visual processing, camera control, vehicle control, camera/radar fusion, autonomous driving sensing technologies, REM technology, driving policy and related engineering tasks as well as application software, silicon design and hardware electronics design. We believe we have a unique approach by developing ADAS and autonomous solutions simultaneously, giving us a technical and scale advantage over our competition.
Our Employees
As of July 2, 2022, we had approximately 3,100 employees operating across eight countries, with approximately 80% of such employees involved in research and development and approximately 2,900 of such employees operating in Israel. None of our employees is represented by a labor union with respect to his, her or their employment. In certain countries in which we operate, we are subject to, and comply with, local labor law requirements, which may automatically make our employees subject to industry-wide collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm227410d6-pc_ouremploy4c.jpg]
Intellectual Property
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology. Our policy is to obtain appropriate proprietary rights protection for any potentially significant new technology acquired or developed by us. We hold 234 U.S. patents, 35 European patents, 173 U.S. patent applications, 363 European and other non-U.S. patent applications, and provisional patent filings.
In addition to patent laws, we rely on copyright and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with OEMs, distributors, other customers and suppliers, proprietary information agreements with our employees and consultants, and other similar measures. Our primary trademarks are for our name and product names. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in protecting our proprietary rights. While we believe our patents, patent applications, software and other proprietary know-how have value, changing technology makes our future success dependent principally upon our ability to successfully achieve continuing innovation.
Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our proprietary rights, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend us against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. An adverse outcome in such litigation or similar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from others or require us to cease marketing or using certain products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the cost of addressing any intellectual property litigation claim, both in legal fees and expenses, as well as from the diversion of management’s resources, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
We lease our principal offices at 13 Hartom Street, Jerusalem, Israel, totaling approximately 123,980 square feet, pursuant to a lease that expires in February 2024 and that may be extended, at our option, for an additional five-year term. We also lease office space in Tel Aviv and various other locations in Israel and around the world, including New York, Dusseldorf, Tokyo, and Shanghai, which include on Intel’s sites. We are currently making investments and are building a new campus in Jerusalem, Israel, which is expected to be completed in 2022. We have also signed a lease for additional new office space near Tel Aviv that we expect to begin utilizing in 2023 and are working to enter into additional leases for more office space in various locations around the world.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we have in the past and may in the future become involved in various legal actions and other claims. We may also become involved in other judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses.
 
135

 
Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. In addition, from time to time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the form of letters and other forms of communication. These legal proceedings may be subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance of the outcome of any individual proceedings. For example, on July 2, 2020, plaintiffs filed a complaint seeking monetary damages and class certification against our Israeli subsidiary in the District Court in Lod, Israel for an alleged defect in the display of one of our aftermarket products sold in Israel. Mobileye responded to the claim and the parties informed the court on January 3, 2022 that they have agreed to refer the suit to mediation. Additionally, on February 24, 2021, a plaintiff filed a complaint against Intel’s Italian subsidiary in the Court of Milan, Italy, Enterprises Section, alleging patent infringement relating to driver assistance systems. On May 19, 2021, Intel’s Italian subsidiary filed a statement of defense claiming that it is not the appropriate entity to be named as a defendant and that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid. The disputed technology is currently under review by a technical consultant appointed by the court, and we have not been named a defendant. As the likelihood of the ultimate outcome of these proceedings is not currently determinable, no amounts in respect of these matters have been accrued in our financial statements. We intend to vigorously defend each of these matters. We do not believe that these matters, and we are not a party to any other legal proceedings that we believe, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Board of Directors
In connection with and upon the completion of this offering, we will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the number of directors on our board of directors shall be no less than five and established from time to time by our board of directors. Immediately after this offering, our board of directors will be composed of eight members, as set forth above. Mr. Gelsinger will serve as the chair of our board of directors. Each director will continue to serve until the election and qualification of his, her or their successor, or until the earliest of his, her or their death, resignation, or removal.
Controlled Company Exemption
We will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. As a result, we qualify for exemptions from, and have elected not to comply with, certain corporate governance requirements under the rules, including the requirements that within one year of the completion of this offering we have a board that is composed of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules, and a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee that are composed entirely of independent directors. Even though we are a controlled company, we are required to comply with the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications, and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.
The rules of Nasdaq define a “controlled company” as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company. Upon the completion of this offering, Intel will beneficially own all of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, representing approximately 99.4% of the voting power of our common stock (or approximately 99.3% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full). Through its control of shares of common stock representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors, Intel will have the ability to control the vote to elect all of our directors. Accordingly, we will qualify as a “controlled company” under the listing requirements of Nasdaq and will be able to rely on the exemptions described above. If we cease to be a controlled company and our Class A common stock continues to be listed on Nasdaq, we will no longer be able to rely on such exemptions by the date our status as a controlled company changes or within specified transition periods applicable to certain provisions, as the case may be. For example, we will have one year from the date of our status change to comply with the requirement that our board of directors must be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

Director Independence
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his, her or their background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Desheh, Senator McCaskill, Governor Huntsman, and Mr. Yeary does not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making the independence determinations with respect to our directors and director nominees, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each director and director nominee has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. For example, our board of directors considered that, between June 2021 and April 2022, Governor Huntsman served as the Vice Chair of Intel’s Government Affairs Advisory Committee, for which he received aggregate compensation of less than $120,000.
Committees of the Board of Directors

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section describes our compensation approach and programs for our named executive officers (“NEOs”), which include our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers for the year ended December 25, 2021. Except as otherwise indicated, the information in this section relates to the compensation of our NEOs, and the principles underlying our executive compensation policies, in respect of fiscal year 2021. Our NEOs for the year ended December 25, 2021 were as follows:

Prof. Amnon Shashua, Chief Executive Officer;

Anat Heller, Chief Financial Officer;

Prof. Shai Shalev-Shwartz, Chief Technology Officer;

Dr. Gaby Hayon, Executive Vice President, Research & Development; and

Erez Dagan, Executive Vice President, Products & Strategy. In July 2022, Mr. Dagan resigned from his position as Executive Vice President, Products and Strategy to take on an advisory role and continues to be an employee of the Company for a temporary period of transition of his responsibilities. He is no longer deemed to be an executive officer of the Company.
The following discussion relates to the compensation of our NEOs whose compensation is disclosed below in the “Summary Compensation Table,” as well as the overall principles underlying our executive compensation policies as we move toward becoming a public company.
Overview
The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to attract, motivate, and retain top talent and drive long-term value. We seek to achieve these objectives through our use of the following compensation initiatives:

provide competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives;

align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders and our own corporate goals and objectives by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of our business; and

conform compensation and governance with regular review of external market best practices.
As we transition from being a privately held company to a publicly traded company, we will continue to evaluate our philosophy and compensation program as circumstances require and we plan to continue reviewing compensation on an annual basis. As part of this review process, we expect to be guided by the philosophy and objectives outlined above, as well as other factors which may become relevant once we are a publicly traded company.
Principal Elements of Compensation
The compensation of our NEOs includes two primary elements: (i) base salary and (ii) equity compensation. Our model focuses on equity compensation as the key element of total compensation. A meaningful portion of executive pay is tied directly to stockholder outcomes and value creation through annual RSU grants. We believe awarding RSUs provides a simple, straightforward approach to tying executives’ compensation to our successful business outcomes. As such, annual cash bonuses, perquisites, personal benefits and other compensation elements are not significant elements of the Company’s current compensation program.
 
143

 
Base Salaries.   Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers, including our NEOs. Adjustments to base salaries are expected to be determined annually and base salaries may be increased based on the executive officer’s performance, as well as to maintain market competitiveness. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope of breadth of an executive officer’s role or responsibilities.
Other Cash Compensation.   We do not currently provide our NEOs with annual cash incentives or other regular cash bonuses or sales commissions.
Equity Compensation.   Equity based compensation is provided to our NEOs to align their interests with those of our stockholders and is a significant component of our compensation program. Annual equity awards are generally made through time- and on occasion, performance-based restricted stock units, providing long-term incentives differentiated based on talent assessment, level of contribution and performance. The key features of our equity compensation program are described below under “— Equity-Based Compensation Prior to the Offering.” We adopted a new equity incentive plan in connection with the Offering, as described below under “— Equity-Based Compensation Following the Offering.”
Determination of Compensation
In fiscal year 2021 and generally in prior years, the appropriate levels of annual salary and equity compensation for our NEOs (other than our CEO) were determined by our CEO, who provided his determinations to Intel’s human resources department, which communicated such determinations for consideration and final approval by the compensation committee of Intel’s board of directors. Such determinations took into account each NEO’s experience and roles as well the compensation practices of similar companies in our industry. Our CEO’s compensation has generally been determined by the compensation committee of Intel’s board of directors upon recommendations from Intel’s human resources department.
Following our transition to being a publicly traded company, our compensation committee will be responsible for, or will assist our board of directors, in fulfilling its governance and supervisory responsibilities, and overseeing our human resources, succession planning, and compensation policies, processes and practices. Our compensation committee will also be responsible for ensuring that our compensation policies and practices appropriately balance of risk and reward consistent with our risk profile and do not encourage excessive risk-taking behavior by our executive officers, including our NEOs.
Upon the closing of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the compensation committee, setting out its responsibilities for administering our compensation programs and, as applicable, reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors concerning the level and nature of the compensation payable to our directors and officers. The compensation committee’s oversight will include reviewing compensation objectives, evaluating performance, and ensuring that total compensation paid to executive officers, including our NEOs, is reasonable, and consistent with the objectives and philosophy of our compensation program.
Compensation Risk
In connection with this offering, management conducted a risk assessment of our compensation plans and practices and concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. The objective of the assessment was to identify any compensation plans or practices that may encourage employees to take unnecessary risk that could threaten the company. No such plans or practices were identified. Our board of directors has reviewed and agrees with management’s conclusion.
Base Salaries
Generally, initial salaries of our NEOs were established through arm’s length negotiation at the time the individual executive officer was hired. Following the determination of initial salaries, over the years we have been conducting annual reviews of each NEO’s base salary and have adjusted as necessary to reflect individual contributions and responsibilities and to maintain market competitiveness.

In fiscal year 2021, our NEOs received the following base salaries in accordance with the policies described above:
Name
2021 Salary(1)
($)
2020 Salary(1)

Prof. Amnon Shashua(2)

Dr. Gaby Hayon
263,893 263,893 0
Erez Dagan(3)

(1)
The salary figures include an amount reflecting global overtime and a high-tech addition, which is a fixed salary component for each NEO, as applicable. Such component was cancelled in March 2022, to all of the Company's employees, and the component amount was divided between the base salary and global overtime component.
(2)
Prof. Shashua’s monthly salary was increased in August 2020 to $21,951.41 in order to align his salary with the salaries of the Company's executive vice presidents. The amounts in the table represent the adjusted salary and percentage increase to reflect the mid-year salary increase.
(3)
The difference between Mr. Dagan’s 2020 salary and his 2021 salary is the result of unpaid absence days taken in 2021 rather than a determination of a smaller base salary.
Other Compensation — Retirement and Welfare Benefits
Our executives generally receive benefits required under Israeli law or that are customary for senior executives in Israel, such as reimbursement of expenses, paid vacation days, sick leave, pension and/or a manager’s insurance policy and Advanced Study Fund. The retirement and welfare benefit programs are a necessary element of the total compensation package to ensure a competitive position in attracting and retaining a committed workforce. Participation in these programs is not tied to performance.

Pension and Severance Benefits.   In Israel, we generally provide our executives, including our NEOs, with severance, pension, disability and Advanced Study Fund benefits in line with both Israeli law and customary compensation practices among technology companies. Israeli law generally requires Israeli employers to pay severance benefits upon (i) the retirement or death of an employee; (ii) termination of employment by the employer (except in circumstances that permit the employer to terminate the employment of the employee without paying severance amounts); or (iii) in certain circumstances, termination of employment by the employee. In accordance with Israeli law, the severance benefit is equal to one month’s salary (at the most recent salary prior to termination) for each full year of employment and a pro rata portion of one month’s salary for each portion of a year of employment following the first full year of employment. For pension and severance purposes the Company generally contributes a monthly amount equal to 14.83% of the employee’s salary toward manager insurance/pension funds. For pension purposes, we contribute 6.5% of the employee’s salary and the employee contributes 6% of their salary. For severance compensation purposes, we generally contribute a monthly amount equal to 8.33% of the employee’s salary. If the employee is eligible to receive severance, as described above, and the contributions to the applicable funds are not sufficient to cover such severance entitlement, the Company will supplement the severance payments to ensure compliance with legal requirements.

Health and Welfare Plans.   Generally, benefits available to our Israel-based employees are available to all employees on the same basis, which include welfare benefits, annual vacation leave, sick leave, convalescence pay, transportation expense reimbursement, Advanced Study Fund, life and disability insurance and other customary or mandatory social benefits in Israel. Furthermore, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance Institute of Israel. These amounts also include payments for national health insurance. The payments to the National Insurance Institute amount to approximately 19.6% of wages (up to monthly wages of approx. NIS 45,075, approximately $14,314), of which the employee contributes approximately 7%
 
145

 
toward natural insurance and 5% toward national health insurance and the employer contributes approximately 7.6% toward national insurance.
Executive Benefits and Perquisites

Lease of Automobiles.   As is customary in Israel, we lease automobiles for certain of our NEOs, including for Anat Heller and Shai Shalev-Shwartz. The lease amount and the applicable taxes are deducted from Ms. Heller’s salary on a monthly basis (NIS 4,900, approximately $1,556, per month). Prof. Shwartz’s automobile lease is paid for by the Company and Prof. Shwartz pays for the taxes incurred in connection with this benefit.
Equity-Based Compensation
Equity-Based Compensation Prior to the Offering
Until the date of this offering, executive officers of the Company have been incentivized and rewarded through the grant of Intel equity awards under the Intel Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Intel Plan”). Equity awards were granted under the Intel Plan to our executive officers, including our NEOs, based upon the recommendation of our CEO and subject to the approval of the compensation committee of Intel’s board of directors. The CEO recommends the grant of equity awards based on the value and contributions of each executive to the Company as well as market conditions and the equity compensation of high technology talent in Israel. Our CEO’s compensation has generally been determined by the compensation committee of Intel’s board of directors upon recommendations from Intel’s human resources department.
In prior years, including in fiscal year 2021, the key component of our equity-based compensation program has been the grant of restricted stock units. All outstanding equity awards awarded under the Intel Plan that were granted prior to the offering will continue to vest and remain outstanding under the Intel Plan following the offering. Equity awards outstanding as of December 25, 2021 are set forth in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table” below. It is anticipated that new equity awards in the form of restricted stock units, or other forms of awards that may be approved by our compensation committee from time to time following the offering, will be granted pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as described in further detail below.
In fiscal year 2021, our NEOs received the following equity award grants in accordance with the process and policies described above:
Name
Number of
Intel RSUs
Prof. Amnon Shashua
Anat Heller

Prof. Shai Shalev-Shwartz
66,724
Dr. Gaby Hayon
41,663
Erez Dagan
41,663
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Restricted stock units have been granted under the Intel Plan to our executive officers annually, typically in October. Our CEO evaluates the awards to be granted to the management team, including our NEOs, and recommends such awards to Intel’s human resources department, who then seeks the approval of Intel’s compensation committee. The CEO evaluates performance as well as prior year targets when making recommendations. The restricted stock unit awards typically vest annually over a three-year period, subject to continued employment with the Company. In October 2021, the compensation committee of Intel’s board of directors approved grants of restricted stock units to our executive officers as set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” and “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table in the Fiscal Year Ended December 25, 2021,” below.
 
146

 
Option Awards
In 2017, when Mobileye was acquired by Intel, certain option awards held by then-current executives were converted into Intel option awards (the “2017 Options”). As of 2021 fiscal year end, all 2017 Options that were granted to our NEOs are fully vested. The option awards exercised in fiscal year 2021 are set forth in the “Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table” below. The 2017 Options that remain outstanding are reflected in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table” below. Since Mobileye was acquired by Intel in 2017, executives have been granted only time-based restricted stock units, except for the performance-based awards granted to Erez Dagan, as summarized below.
Performance Awards
Performance awards may be granted to our NEOs on occasion. When granted, they are intended to align interests of executives with those of stockholders through the use of measures the Company believes drives its long-term success. The compensation committee of Intel’s board of directors granted a performance-based equity award to our NEO, Erez Dagan, who is currently the only NEO who holds a performance-based equity award, as further described below. We may also consider performance based equity to our CEO from time to time.
The performance-based equity awards granted to Mr. Dagan are reflected in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table” below. In fiscal year 2021, we did not grant any performance-based awards to our NEOs.
Equity-Based Compensation Following the Offering
Following the offering, we will establish a compensation committee that will be responsible for making recommendations for equity awards to be granted to our executive officers. In connection with the offering, the Company has adopted the Mobileye Holdings Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which was renamed and approved as the Mobileye Global Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which was adopted by our board of directors on January 30, 2022 and approved by our stockholder on September 30, 2022. The 2022 Plan will allow the compensation committee to make equity-based incentive awards to our employees, consultants and outside directors.
Authorized Shares.   The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2022 Plan will be 39,813,158 shares, subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the Company’s capitalization. The shares issued under the 2022 Plan may be authorized and unissued shares, or reacquired common stock, including shares purchased by the Company on the open market for purposes of the plan.
The share reserve under the 2022 Plan will be subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar equity restructuring transacting affecting shares. Any shares subject to an award which for any reason expires or terminates unexercised or is not earned in full may again be made subject to an award under the plan; however, the following shares may not again be made available for issuance as awards under the plan: (i) shares not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding stock appreciation right, (ii) shares used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes related to an outstanding award, or (iii) shares repurchased on the open market, if applicable, with the proceeds of the option exercise price. The maximum number of shares that may be issued as incentive stock options under the 2022 Plan may not exceed 39,813,158 shares. Of these 39,813,158 shares, 13,921,053 shares (based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus) are expected to be issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units to be issued under our equity incentive plan upon the completion of this offering pursuant to the approval of our board of directors of issuances in an aggregate value of $264,500,000, with the actual number of shares to be issuable calculated based on the actual initial public offering price.
Administration.   The 2022 Plan will be administered by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee will have full power to take the following actions, subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan:
 
147

 

to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2022 Plan, including the forms of award agreement and manner of acceptance of an award, and to take or approve such further actions as it determines necessary or appropriate to the administration of the 2022 Plan and awards;

to determine which persons are eligible to receive awards and to grant awards to such persons;

to establish or vary the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any award;

to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents evidencing awards made under the plan;

to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required;

to cancel any award, without consideration, and without requirement of the consent of the participant;

to interpret and construe the plan and any rules and regulations under the 2022 Plan and award granted thereunder; and

to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2022 Plan.
Eligibility.   Persons eligible to participate in the 2022 Plan will be those employees, outside directors and consultants, as selected from time to time by our compensation committee in its discretion.
Options.   The 2022 Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by our compensation committee but may not, generally, be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be fixed by our compensation committee and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised.
Stock Appreciation Rights.   Our compensation committee will be able to award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares of common stock, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of each stock appreciation right will be fixed by our compensation committee and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.   Our compensation committee will be able to award restricted shares of common stock and RSUs to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine.

Employment and Other Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Shashua, Shwartz, Hayon and Dagan and Ms. Heller, which are summarized below. Each agreement is governed by Israeli law and provides for customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions during the term of the agreements and for twelve months after termination of their employment for any reason (except for Prof. Shashua whose non-competition and non-solicitation provisions continue for eighteen months).
Prof. Shashua
Prof. Shashua is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and has been with the Company since 1999. On July 24, 2014, we entered into an amended employment agreement with Prof. Shashua. The employment agreement provides for Prof. Shashua’s employment through a term of at least five years, and sets forth his annual salary, eligibility to receive grants of option awards, vacation leave (24 days), sick leave, reimbursement for reasonable travel and other business expenses, and eligibility to participate in benefit plans generally. Prof. Shashua’s employment agreement also ensures certain payments under an accepted manager’s insurance scheme or pension fund in the following amounts: (i) 8.33% of his salary for severance, (ii) 6.5% of his salary for pension (Prof. Shashua also contributes 6% of his salary toward such fund) and (iii) up to 2.5% of his salary towards disability insurance. The Company also maintains an Advanced Study Fund, under which the Company contributes an amount equal to 7.5% of his gross salary (representing 80% of the sum of salary, travel expense and convalesce) on a monthly basis, and Prof. Shashua contributes 2.5% of his gross salary on a monthly basis. If Prof. Shashua’s employment is terminated for reasons other than for “cause” ​(as defined in his employment agreement), or he resigns from the Company by “deemed dismissal” ​(as defined in his employment agreement) then he is entitled to receive, in addition to any severance payments, his base salary and all other benefits and entitlements under his employment agreement and any other agreement, for two months following the date of his termination. In addition, all unvested option awards and restricted stock unit awards will immediately vest. If Prof. Shashua’s employment is terminated for reasons other than for “cause” or he resigns from the Company
 
151

 
by “deemed dismissal” in connection with a “change in control” ​(as defined in his employment agreement), he is entitled to receive such benefits and entitlements for a period of twelve months.
Prof. Shwartz
On August 2, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Prof. Shai Shalev-Shwartz, our Chief Technology Officer. The employment agreement sets forth his annual salary, global overtime, high-tech addition, which is a fixed salary component (as described in footnote 1 to the table under “Base Salaries” above), vacation leave (21 days), sick leave, reimbursement for travel expenses, and monthly convalescence pay. The Company also contributes the following amounts towards an accepted manager’s insurance policy (Bituach Menahalim): a sum equal to 8.33% of his “Contribution Salary” ​(as such term is defined below) for severance purposes, 6.5% of his “Contribution Salary” and for pension purposes (Prof. Shwartz also contributes 6% of his “Contribution Salary” toward such fund). “Contribution Salary” for purposes of his agreement means an amount approximately equal to the national average salary.
The Company and Prof. Shwartz may terminate his employment agreement for any reason by providing thirty days’ prior written notice or pay in lieu of notice. Prof. Shwartz is entitled to the transfer of the funds in his severance fund, only if his termination would entitle him to severance under the Severance Pay Law 5723-1963.
Dr. Hayon
On August 1, 1999, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Hayon, our Executive Vice President of Research & Development. The employment agreement sets forth his annual salary, vacation leave (24 days), sick leave and reimbursement for business related expenses. Dr. Hayon is also entitled to global overtime and was entitled to high-tech addition, which is a fixed salary component (as described in footnote 1 to the table under “Base Salaries” above). The Company also contributes the following amounts toward an accepted manager’s insurance policy (Bituach Menahalim): a sum equal to 8.33% of his salary for severance purposes, 6.5% of his salary for pension purposes (Dr. Hayon also contributes 6% of his salary toward such fund) and up to 0.55% of his salary towards disability insurance. Dr. Hayon’s employment agreement also ensures certain payments to an Advanced Study Fund, under which the Company contributes an amount equal to 7.5% of his gross salary (representing 80% of the sum of salary, travel expense and convalesce) on a monthly basis, and Dr. Hayon contributes 2.5% of his gross salary on a monthly basis.
The Company and Dr. Hayon may terminate his employment agreement for any reason by providing thirty days’ prior written notice or pay in lieu of notice. Dr. Hayon is entitled to the transfer of the funds in his severance fund, only if his termination would entitle him to severance under the Severance Pay Law 5723-1963.
Mr. Dagan
Mr. Dagan joined the Company in February 2003. On October 1, 2016, we entered into the current employment agreement with Mr. Dagan. The employment agreement sets forth his annual salary, global overtime, high-tech addition, which is a fixed salary component (as described in footnote 1 to the table under “Base Salaries” above), vacation leave (24 days), sick leave, reimbursement for travel expenses and monthly convalescence pay.

He continues to be employed under his employment agreement for this period but is no longer deemed to be an executive officer of the Company.
Ms. Heller
Ms. Heller, our Chief Financial Officer, joined the Company in April 2008. On September 1, 2015, we entered into the current employment agreement with Ms. Heller.

The stock price performance hurdle is a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days in which the closing price of a share of the Intel common stock reported on Nasdaq is at least the greater of (1) 30% over the closing price of the Intel common stock on February 1, 2019, or (2) 15% over the closing price of Intel common stock on the grant date.

Such other benefits and entitlements represent pension benefit contributions, Advanced Study Fund contributions, patent grant cash award amounts and other miscellaneous benefits, as set forth in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table (which reflects the amount paid in fiscal year 2021), but payable under these termination circumstances for only the two-month period.
For our NEOs other than Prof. Shashua (whose notice is as set forth above), if their employment agreement is terminated for any reason, they are entitled to thirty days’ prior written notice or pay in lieu of notice. Additionally, each NEO would be entitled to the transfer of the funds in their severance fund and potentially an additional amount if the specific termination would entitle the executive to severance under the Severance Pay Law 5723-1963 (“Severance Pay Law”). If the employment of Ms. Heller and Messrs. Shalev-Shwartz, Hayon or Dagan had terminated on December 25, 2021, under circumstances that entitle them to severance under the Severance Pay Law, they would have received a payout for severance in the amount of $71,431, $470,549, $186,712 and $104,987, respectively, which amounts do not include those amounts that would be transferred to such NEO from the NEO’s severance and other funds.
Director Compensation
In connection with the offering, we expect to implement a director compensation program, which will be designed to attract and retain the most qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors. We expect our board of directors, through our compensation committee, to be responsible for reviewing and approving any changes to directors’ compensation arrangements. We expect that our outside directors will be compensated with RSUs in the Company on an annual basis, or a combination of cash and RSUs in the Company on an annual basis, in either case, consistent with market practice. Our directors will also be reimbursed for their reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with their roles as directors. In addition, we do not expect that directors will be entitled to receive compensation for services rendered to us in any other capacity. Directors who are employees of Mobileye and who receive a salary from us as our employees or receive a salary from one of our subsidiaries as their employees, will not be entitled to receive any additional compensation for their services in acting as directors, but would be entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in acting as directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In addition to the director, director nominee and executive officer compensation arrangements discussed above in the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation,” this section describes transactions, or series of related transactions, during our last three fiscal years or as currently proposed, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:

the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

any of our directors, director nominees, executive officers, or beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our capital stock, or any members of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any such person, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Historical Related Party Transactions
Prior to this offering, we have operated as part of Intel’s broader corporate organization rather than as a stand-alone public company. Intel has performed or supported various corporate services for us, and we have engaged in various transactions with Intel. The previous arrangements we had with Intel and/or other related persons are described below.
Equity Conversion Arrangements for Purposes of Funding Acquisitions
For purposes of its acquisition of Mobileye, Intel entered into a loan agreement in 2017 to make available to us up to an aggregate principal amount of $20 billion (the “2017 Loan”). The principal amount of the 2017 Loan was denominated in U.S. dollars and the interest rate was based on the short term quarterly Applicable Federal Rate published by the Internal Revenue Service.
In 2019, the outstanding principal balance of $15.3 billion on the 2017 Loan was converted to equity as a contribution by Intel to us, thereby canceling the principal. In 2020, $679 million of accrued interest was converted to equity as a contribution by Intel to us.
There was no outstanding principal or interest balance as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020. Interest expense recognized by us totaled $0 million, $1 million, and $257 million for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, respectively.
Loan Arrangements
We entered into a series of bilateral lending/borrowing arrangements with Intel. The purposes of the facilities are to enable bilateral cash movements between the parties. The arrangements are denominated in U.S dollars.
In 2017, we and Intel entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 1”) to make available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Arrangement 1 has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. In 2021, Arrangement 1 was amended to increase the capacity from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, and the maturity date was automatically renewed to December 2022.
In 2017, we and Intel entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 2”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. Arrangement 2 has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. In March 2022, Arrangement 2 was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to draw from $750 million to $1.0 billion and the maturity date was extended to March 2023.
In 2021, we and Intel entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 3” and, together with Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2, the “Bilateral Loan Arrangements”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. Arrangement 3 has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each, and in July 2022 the maturity date was automatically renewed to July 2023. In March 2022, Arrangement 3 was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to draw from $100 million to $500 million. The interest rate is based on an applicable margin of 0.0% with an option for Intel to elect to increase or decrease the applicable margin on
 
157

 
or after the first day of the 2022 fiscal year. If Intel elects to increase the applicable margin, the spread adjustment would be reflective of the difference between three-month LIBOR and the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
In March 2022, due to reference rate reform, Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2 were amended to change the interest rate from LIBOR to SOFR based.
The total outstanding balance under the Bilateral Loan Arrangements is approximately $901 million and $1.3 billion as of July 2, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. Interest income recognized by us totaled $4 million and $2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively.
Dividend Note
In connection with the Reorganization, on April 21, 2022, we distributed to Intel the Dividend Note, a promissory note pursuant to which Cyclops Holdings Corporation, which will be one of our consolidated subsidiaries following the completion of the Reorganization, agreed to pay Intel an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion. The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum, such interest to accrue quarterly. Prior to June 30, 2024, such interest will be paid by being automatically added to the outstanding principal amount of the loan and will thereafter be payable quarterly in cash in arrears and shall also be payable upon any prepayment, whether in whole or in part, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and upon maturity. Under the Dividend Note, we have the right, at our option, on any business day, to prepay the loan, including principal and any accrued interest thereon, in whole or in part without premium or penalty. We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds that we receive from this offering to repay indebtedness under the Dividend Note. Intel informed us that it intends to contribute to Mobileye Global Inc. any remaining portion of the Dividend Note in excess of such repayment in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placement, so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement. See “Use of Proceeds.”
Dividend
In connection with the Reorganization, on May 12, 2022, we declared and paid the Dividend in an aggregate amount of $336 million to Intel, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations.
Stock Compensation Recharge Agreement
We entered into a stock compensation recharge agreement with Intel, which requires us to reimburse Intel for certain amounts relating to the value of share-based compensation provided to our employees for RSUs or stock options exercisable in Intel stock. The reimbursement amounts were $162 million, $78 million and $75 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The reimbursement amount was $48 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022.
Hedging Services
We entered into a hedging services agreement with Intel, according to which we are entitled to a certain allocation of the gains and losses arising from the execution of the hedging contracts. The cost associated with these services were immaterial.
Development Services and Lease
We have historically relied on Intel to provide certain development services, including research, technical work on technology, products and solutions, construction and ancillary administrative services and use of space in Intel’s building in Israel. The Company paid for these services on a quarterly basis. These costs are included as part of our combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily on a specific and direct attribution basis, as described in Note 2 of our combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Travel Related Expenses
We have reimbursed our Chief Executive Officer for reasonable travel related expenses incurred while conducting business on behalf of our company. For 2021, 2020 and 2019, travel related reimbursements were $1.1 million, $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended each of July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, travel-related reimbursements totaled $0.3 million.
Cross-License Agreement
We are party to an agreement with Intel (which we refer to herein as the Cross-License Agreement, and a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.21 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part) under which (i) we grant to Intel a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable under certain circumstances, and worldwide license under patents and patent applications owned or controlled by us, and (ii) Intel grants to us a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and worldwide license, sublicense, or other right, as applicable, under certain patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries and certain third parties. Any license, sublicense, or other right granted by Intel to us with respect to third-party patents and patent applications (or specific claims thereof) included in the grant in clause (ii) may be revoked (effective as of the date specified by Intel) by Intel, in whole or in part, at any time (and automatically terminates once Intel can no longer extend such rights to us under the applicable third-party license agreement), and all licenses, sublicenses or other rights from Intel with respect to patents and patent applications of other Intel subsidiaries included in the grant by Intel to us in clause (ii) automatically terminate once Intel’s ownership of our common stock falls below 50%. The license granted by us to Intel in clause (i) survives even if Intel’s ownership of our common stock falls below 50%, but solely with respect to patents and patent applications owned or controlled by us as of or prior to such time. The agreement will continue until the expiration of the last to expire of the patents and patent applications included in the grants in clauses (i) and (ii), unless earlier terminated by Intel at any time for its convenience.
Transactions to be Entered into in Connection with this Offering
Transfers of Assets
In connection with the Reorganization, we acquired from Intel in a series of transfers in 2022 certain assets related to our business for an aggregate amount of approximately $7.8 million and recruited from Intel certain employees aligned with our business, in each case, along with certain liabilities, and, on May 31, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Intel pursuant to which, on such date, we legally purchased from Intel 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities for an aggregate amount of $900 million that is payable to Intel.
Facilities Arrangements
In connection with this offering, we plan to enter into lease arrangements with Intel for certain facilities in Israel, including in Jerusalem (which includes a data center and workshop), Petah Tikva, and Haifa, for a monthly rent to be agreed between us and Intel and into use and access arrangements with Intel for certain facilities in the United States, Germany, and China for a monthly payment to be agreed between us and Intel.
Contribution and Subscription Agreement
In connection with and prior to the completion of this offering, we plan to enter into the Contribution and Subscription Agreement with Intel, pursuant to which Intel will transfer to Mobileye Global Inc., collectively as a contribution on existing capital in exchange for 749,999,900 shares of our Class B common stock: (i) 100% of the equity interests of Cyclops Holdings Corporation, such that Cyclops Holdings Corporation will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Mobileye Global Inc.; and (ii) the Dividend Note with respect to any principal and accrued interest thereon in excess of the principal amount that we intend to repay from a significant portion of the net proceeds that we receive from this offering and the concurrent private placement (which such portion of net proceeds will first be transferred to Cyclops Holdings Corporation from Mobileye Global Inc. as a contribution on existing capital). A portion of such repayment would include net proceeds from any exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional
 
159

 
shares of our Class A common stock and such contributed portion of the Dividend Note would include any amounts that may need be contributed at the time the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock expires so that no amounts under the Dividend Note would remain owed by us to Intel after the completion of the transactions contemplated by this offering and the concurrent private placement. The actual amount to be repaid will be based upon the amount of net proceeds from this offering that we have available after we retain the required $1.0 billion of cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities that Intel agrees to ensure that we will have immediately after completion of this offering under the Master Transaction Agreement, and will further be based on the estimated balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the closing date of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
Intercompany Agreements
Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to enter into the following Intercompany Agreements with Intel that will provide a framework for our ongoing relationship with Intel.
Master Transaction Agreement
The Master Transaction Agreement, which will become effective as of the completion of this offering, contains key provisions relating to our ongoing relationship with Intel. The Master Transaction Agreement also contains agreements relating to the conduct of this offering and future transactions, and will govern the relationship between Intel and us subsequent to this offering. Unless otherwise required by the specific provisions of the Master Transaction Agreement, the Master Transaction Agreement will terminate on a date that is five years after the first date upon which Intel ceases to beneficially own at least 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock. The provisions of the Master Transaction Agreement related to our cooperation with Intel in connection with future litigation will survive seven years after the termination of the agreement, and provisions related to indemnification by us and Intel and certain other provisions will survive indefinitely. The following sets forth the key terms of the Master Transaction Agreement.
This Offering.    We will use our reasonable commercial efforts to satisfy certain conditions to the completion of this offering, which conditions include, among others, that (i) this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC, and there shall be no stop order in effect with respect thereto, (ii) actions and filings with regard to applicable securities and blue sky laws of any state (and any comparable laws under any foreign jurisdictions) shall have been taken and, where applicable, have become effective or been accepted, (iii) our Class A common stock to be issued in this offering shall have been accepted for listing on the Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance, (iv) we shall have entered into the underwriting agreement for this offering and all conditions to the obligations of Mobileye and the underwriters shall have been satisfied or waived by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, (v) Intel shall be satisfied, in its sole discretion, that it will have an ownership percentage of at least 80.1% immediately following the consummation of this offering, and we will have no class of our capital stock other than the Class A and Class B common stock outstanding, immediately following this offering, and (vi) no order, injunction or decree issued by any court or agency of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of this offering or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement or any Intercompany Agreement shall be in effect. Intel may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to proceed with or abandon this offering. All costs and expenses of Mobileye and Intel relating to this offering will be paid by us.
Registration Rights.   We will provide Intel, after the date that is 180 days after the closing of this offering or such earlier date as provided in the Master Transaction Agreement, with certain registration rights to register our common stock, because the shares of our common stock held by Intel after this offering will be deemed “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Accordingly, Intel may only sell a limited number of shares of our common stock into the public markets without registration under the Securities Act. At the request of Intel, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register shares of our common stock that are held by Intel after the closing of this offering, or subsequently acquired, for public sale under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 or any similar long form registration statement (a“Long-Form Registration”) or on a registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement at such time Mobileye qualifies to use such short from
 
160

 
registration statement (a “Short-Form Registration”). Intel may initially request up to two Long-Form Registrations in any calendar year and three Short-Form Registrations, though no Long-Form Registrations may be requested in any calendar year after such time as we are eligible to use Form S-3. Intel may also request that we file a resale shelf registration statement to register the resale under the Securities Act of its registrable securities after such time as we are eligible to use Form S-3. Intel will be entitled to three underwritten shelf takedowns per calendar year and each such underwritten shelf takedown will be deemed a demand registration for purposes of the limit on Short-Form Registrations. We will also provide Intel with “piggy-back” rights to include its shares in future registrations by us or others of our securities under the Securities Act. There is no limit on the number of these “piggy-back” registrations in which Intel may request its shares be included. Intel’s registration rights will remain in effect until the earlier of the date on which the shares of our common stock held by Intel (i) have been disposed of in accordance with an effective registration statement, (ii) have been distributed to the public in accordance with Rule 144 or may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, (iii) have been otherwise transferred to a non-affiliated entity and any subsequent disposition of them do not require registration or qualification under the Securities Act, or (iv) have ceased to be outstanding. We have agreed to cooperate in these registrations and related offerings. All expenses payable in connection with such registrations will be paid by us, except that Intel will pay all its own internal administrative and its own legal and similar costs and underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the sale of its shares of our common stock.
Future Distributions.    We will cooperate with Intel, at its request, to accomplish a distribution by Intel of our common stock to Intel stockholders which is intended to qualify as a distribution under Section 355 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of any successor statute, and we have agreed to promptly take any and all actions reasonably necessary or desirable to effect any such distribution. Intel will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether to proceed with all or part of the distribution, the date of the distribution and the form, structure and all other terms of any transaction to effect the distribution. A distribution may not occur at all. At any time prior to completion of the distribution, Intel may decide to abandon the distribution, or may modify or change the terms of the distribution, which could have the effect of accelerating or delaying the timing of the distribution.
Most Favored Status.    So long as Intel beneficially owns at least 20% of our common stock, we will sell Intel our commercially available products, including EyeQ® SoCs, for internal use, but not for resale on a standalone or bundled basis. We and Intel agree to hold the other in most favored status with respect to products purchased or sold for internal use, meaning that the product prices, terms, warranties and benefits provided between us and Intel shall be comparable to or better than the equivalent terms being offered by the party providing the products to any single, present customer of such party.
Anti-Dilution Option.    We will grant Intel a continuing right to purchase from us shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock as is necessary for Intel to maintain an aggregate ownership interest of our common stock representing at least 80.1% of our common stock outstanding. This option may be exercised by Intel in connection with any issuance by us of common stock other than pursuant to this offering (including the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares in this offering) or any stock option or executive or employee compensation plan, except where the issuance pursuant to a stock option or executive or employee compensation plan would cause Intel’s percentage ownership of common stock to fall below 80.1%. If we issue our common stock for cash consideration as permitted in the foregoing sentence other than pursuant to a stock option or executive compensation plan that causes Intel’s percentage ownership of common stock to fall below 80.1%, upon the exercise of the option, Intel will pay a price per share of Class A common stock equal to the offering price paid by us in the related issuance of common stock and a price per share of Class B common stock equal to the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by our board of directors. If we issue our common stock for non-cash consideration or pursuant to a stock option or executive compensation plan that causes Intel’s percentage ownership of common stock to fall below 80.1%, upon exercise of the option, Intel will pay a price per share of Class A common stock equal to the closing price of our common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq on the date for which a determination is being made and a price per share of Class B common stock equal to the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Intel’s option to maintain its ownership percentage in us will terminate on the earlier of the date of a distribution under Section 355 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of any successor statute, the date upon which Intel beneficially owns shares of common stock representing less than 80% in aggregate ownership interest in
 
161

 
our common stock, and the date on which, if the option has been transferred to a subsidiary of Intel, that subsidiary ceases to be a subsidiary of Intel.
Indemnification.    We and Intel will have cross-indemnities that generally place the financial responsibility on us and our subsidiaries for all liabilities associated with the current and historical Mobileye business and operations, and generally will place on Intel the financial responsibility for liabilities associated with all of Intel’s other current and historical businesses and operations, in each case regardless of the time those liabilities arise. We and Intel will also each indemnify the other with respect to breaches of the Master Transaction Agreement or any Intercompany Agreement. In addition, we will indemnify Intel against liabilities arising from misstatements or omissions of material fact in this prospectus or the registration statement of which it is a part, except for misstatements or omissions of material fact relating to information that Intel provided to us specifically for inclusion in this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part. We will also indemnify Intel against liabilities arising from any misstatements or omissions of material fact in our subsequent SEC filings and from information we provide to Intel specifically for inclusion in Intel’s annual or quarterly reports following the completion of this offering, but only to the extent that the information pertains to us or our business or to the extent Intel provides us prior written notice that the information will be included in its annual or quarterly reports and the liability does not result from the action or inaction of Intel. In addition, Intel will indemnify us for liabilities arising from misstatements or omissions of material fact with respect to information that Intel provided to us specifically for inclusion in this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part, to the extent that such information pertains to Intel or Intel’s business. Intel will also indemnify us against liabilities arising from information Intel provides to us specifically for inclusion in our annual or quarterly reports following the completion of this offering, but only to the extent that the information pertains to Intel or Intel’s business or to the extent we provide Intel prior written notice that the information will be included in our annual or quarterly reports and the liability does not result from our action or inaction. Further, Intel will indemnify us against any liabilities relating to payments of consideration to former equityholders of Mobileye N.V. under Intel’s 2017 agreement to purchase Mobileye.
Release.   The Master Transaction Agreement contains a general release for liabilities arising from events occurring on or before the time of this offering. Under this provision, we will release Intel and its subsidiaries, successors and assigns, and Intel will release us and our subsidiaries, successors and assigns, from any liabilities arising from past events between us on the one hand, and Intel on the other hand, occurring on or before the time of this offering, including in connection with the activities to implement this offering. The general release does not apply to liabilities allocated between the parties under the Master Transaction Agreement or other Intercompany Agreements or to specified ongoing contractual arrangements.
Accounting Matters.   For so long as Intel provides us with accounting and financial services under the Administrative Services Agreement that we will enter into with Intel, and to the extent necessary for purpose of preparing financial statements or completing a financial statement audit, we will provide Intel as much prior notice as reasonably practical of any change in the independent certified public accountants to be used by us or our subsidiaries for providing an opinion on our consolidated financial statements. We will also use our commercially reasonable efforts to enable our auditors to complete a sufficient portion of our audit and provide Intel with all financial and other information on a timely basis such that Intel may meet its deadlines for its filing annual and quarterly financial statements.
Legal Policies.   Until the later of Intel ceasing to be a “controlling person” of us as defined in the Securities Act and such date that Intel ceases to provide us with legal, financial or accounting services under the Administrative Services Agreement, we will comply with all Intel rules, policies and directives identified by Intel as critical to legal and regulatory compliance, to the extent such rules, policies and directives have been previously communicated to us, and will not adopt legal or regulatory policies or directives inconsistent with the policies identified by Intel as critical to legal and regulatory compliance.
Non-Solicitation:    For a period of two years following the closing of this offering, we and Intel will not, directly or indirectly, solicit active employees of the other without prior consent by the other, provided we both have agreed to give such consent if either party believes, in good faith, that consent is necessary to avoid the resignation of an employee from one party that the other party would wish to employ.
 
162

 
Remaining Intel Awards:    All outstanding options to purchase shares of Intel and all other Intel equity awards held by Mobileye Group employees at the time of the initial public offering will continue to be outstanding until the earliest of (i) the date the award is exchanged pursuant to any issuer exchange offer undertaken by us and Intel, (ii) the date the award is exercised or expires under the terms of the applicable award agreement and (iii) the date such award is canceled as a result of a Mobileye Group employee being terminated or, if later, the end of any post-termination exercise period specified in the award agreement or by the applicable equity plans’ administrative committees.
Minimum Cash Requirement:    Immediately after completion of this offering and on a pro forma basis after all expenses of this offering have been paid (and after giving effect to any repayment of any indebtedness by us to Intel and any other transactions contemplated to occur substantially concurrently with this offering), Intel agrees to ensure that we will have $1.0 billion cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities.
Notifiable Transactions:   Intel will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide three months’ advance notice to our board of directors in the event that Intel intends to pursue a transaction (even if no such transaction is imminent or probable at such time) which is reasonably expected to cause Intel's ownership in us to fall below 50% of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Administrative Services Agreement
Under the Administrative Services Agreement, which will become effective prior to the completion of this offering, Intel will provide us with administrative, financial, legal, tax, and other services. Intel will provide such services to us with substantially the same degree of skill and care as such services have been provided to us during the twelve months prior to the date of this offering. We will pay fees to Intel for the services rendered based on pricing per service agreed between us and Intel.
The initial term of the Administrative Services Agreement will expire two years from the completion of this offering and will be extended automatically for successive three-month terms unless one of the parties elects not to renew. Prior to the expiration of the initial term and any subsequent renewal term, we will agree with Intel to adjust the level of service under the agreement, as necessary, to accurately reflect the future level of services we require. We have the right to terminate any of the services provided by Intel under the Administrative Services Agreement at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice of termination to Intel, or if Intel fails to perform any of its material obligations under the Administrative Services Agreement and such failure continues for at least thirty days after receipt by Intel of written notice of such failure from Mobileye.
Furthermore, we will be responsible for any damages, and will indemnify Intel for all reasonable expenses, in connection with actions or inactions reasonably required to be performed, or directed by us to be performed, in connection with the services rendered or to be rendered under the Administrative Services Agreement, except to the extent that such losses are caused by the breach of the Administrative Services Agreement, gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of Intel or where indemnification would not be permitted by law. Intel will be responsible for any damages, and will indemnify us for all reasonable expenses, in connection with the breach of the Administrative Services Agreement, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Intel in connection with the services rendered or to be rendered under the Administrative Services Agreement, except to the extent that such losses are caused by our breach of the Administrative Services Agreement, gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct.
Employee Matters Agreement
The Employee Matters Agreement, which will become effective as of the completion of this offering, will allocate assets, liabilities and responsibilities relating to employees, employment matters, compensation and benefit plans and other related matters. The Employee Matters Agreement generally provides that Mobileye will assume certain employment-related liabilities with respect to Mobileye and certain former Intel employees for periods of time prior to and after the date the employee becomes employed by a Mobileye entity, or, for other certain former Intel employees, with respect to liabilities arising after the date such employees become employees of a Mobileye entity from an Intel entity, provided that Intel will generally retain liabilities under its employee benefit plans.
 
163

 
Technology and Services Agreement
The Technology and Services Agreement, which will become effective as of, or prior to, the completion of this offering, will provide a framework for the collaboration on technology projects and services between us and Intel (“Technology Projects”), and will set out the licenses granted by each party to its respective technology for the conduct of the Technology Projects, provisions relating to the ownership of certain existing technology, the allocation of rights in any new technology created in the course of the Technology Projects, and certain provisions applicable to the development of a certain radar product of ours. The Technology and Services Agreement will not apply to projects for the development and manufacture of a lidar sensor system for automobiles, for which the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement will apply. Pursuant to the Technology and Services Agreement, we and Intel will agree to statements of work with additional terms for Technology Projects.
Each party retains ownership of its intellectual property rights to existing technology, except that we assign to Intel certain radar-related technology. Intel will solely own all intellectual property rights to new technology created by either party under Technology Projects that falls within a defined field related to Intel’s business (including technology related to certain semiconductor, radar, lidar, and automotive technology). We will solely own, and Intel will assign to us, intellectual property rights to certain modifications to our existing technology (the intellectual property rights, modifications and existing technology will be agreed in a statements of work). Where new technology created in a Technology Project is outside Intel’s defined field, each party will own such new technology where the new technology is solely created by that party. For any new technology outside of Intel’s field that is jointly created, the parties will jointly own the copyright and trade secrets in such technology, and will allocate and license any patent rights between themselves. Each party grants the other a development license for the conduct of the Technology Projects to any technology disclosed under statements of work. Deliverables are also licensed to the receiving party by the providing party for use in accordance with the statements of work.
Intel will own all intellectual property rights in all new technology created under the Technology and Services Agreement that is a certain category of radar technology, largely related to improvements or modifications to Intel’s own radar technology, and retains ownership of all its existing intellectual property in such radar technology. We will assign our intellectual property rights in this technology to Intel, as well as in certain radar technology created by our personnel prior to the completion of this offering, primarily related to their work on certain radar technology. Intel will assign back to us certain intellectual property rights to a certain subset of radar technology created by our employees after the completion of this offering. Intel will grant us worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licenses under certain intellectual property rights to certain radar technology for the purpose of our development and manufacturing of certain types of external environment-sensing radar sensor products for ADAS and AV in automobiles.
The Technology and Services Agreement will include confidentiality restrictions with respect to Technology Projects and related technology and a limited Intel non-compete with respect to certain radar technology for a period of up to five years from the effective date of the Technology and Services Agreement. Except with respect to claims of infringement of intellectual property rights, breaches of a license or confidentiality obligations, or any liability which cannot be limited under applicable law, any liability of the parties to one another under the Technology and Services Agreement will be capped to the aggregate amounts paid or payable by us to Intel under the agreement for any development services. The Technology and Services Agreement will have a term of two years, and will automatically renew for one-year renewal periods, unless the agreement is terminated for a party’s material breach, a party’s bankruptcy or insolvency, or advance notice of nonrenewal is given.
LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement
The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement, which will become effective as of or prior to the completion of this offering, will provide the terms that will apply to our collaboration with Intel for the development and manufacture of a lidar sensor system for ADAS and AV in automobiles (“LiDAR Projects”). The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement will further provide that, under a profit-sharing model, Intel will manufacture certain components (silicon photonics integrated circuits and grating and mirrors) for us to market and sell as part of a FMCW lidar sensor system solely for external environment sensing for ADAS and AV in automobiles. The parties intend that for a limited period of up to 5 years, we will have
 
164

 
certain exclusive rights for the marketing and selling of the initial FMCW lidar sensor system for defined uses, with annual plans for sales and marketing of the sensor system to be agreed by the parties. The parties will also negotiate the possibility of developing and manufacturing future generations of the components for similar lidar sensor systems.
Pursuant to the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement, Intel will grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license under certain trade secret rights and copyrights for certain identified lidar technology for internal development of an external environment-sensing FMCW lidar sensor system for ADAS and AV solely for a LiDAR Project and subject to certain project restrictions. We will own the intellectual property rights to certain new system technology for FMCW lidar sensor systems created solely by our personnel under the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement that is developed after the completion of this offering, and will grant to Intel a worldwide, royalty-free license under certain trade secret rights and copyrights for the system technology to use, copy and modify the system technology solely for a LiDAR Project. Intel will own all other new technology created during the term of the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement which falls into a defined category of lidar and other technology, and we will assign to Intel our intellectual property rights in this technology and certain lidar technology which our personnel created before the completion of this offering (primarily technology based on Intel’s own technology). Intellectual property rights in other technology developed under LiDAR Projects will be solely owned if the technology was solely created by a party, and for any jointly created intellectual property rights the parties will jointly own copyright and trade secrets, and allocate and license patent rights between them.
The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement will include confidentiality restrictions with respect to LiDAR Projects and related technology and a limited Intel non-compete with respect to certain lidar technology for a period of up to five years from the effective date of the agreement. Except with respect to claims of infringement of intellectual property rights, breaches of a license or confidentiality obligations, or any liability which cannot be limited under applicable law, any liability of the parties to one another under the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement will be capped to the aggregate amounts paid or payable by us to Intel under the agreement for any development services. The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement will have a term of ten years subject to automatic 24-month renewal periods unless notice of nonrenewal is given. Either party may terminate the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement for any reason by giving 24-month notice to the other party, and additional termination rights arise if Intel shuts down, sells, or transfers the factory operations for silicon photonics or if we cease lidar development or sale, as well as for a party’s material breach or bankruptcy or insolvency.
Tax Sharing Agreement
We have been previously included in the Consolidated Group and in certain other Combined Groups. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, which will become effective as of the completion of this offering, we generally will make payments to Intel such that, with respect to tax returns for any taxable period in which we or any of our subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group, the amount of taxes to be paid by us will be determined by computing the excess (if any) of any taxes due on any such return over the amount that would otherwise be due if such return were recomputed by excluding us and/or our included subsidiaries. Intel will prepare pro forma tax returns for us with respect to any tax return filed with respect to the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group in order to determine the amount of tax sharing payments under the Tax Sharing Agreement. We will be responsible for any taxes with respect to tax returns that include only us and/or our subsidiaries. However, to the extent the taxes due on any such return are lower than they would be if such return were recomputed by excluding us and/or our included subsidiaries, we will not receive any payment for such tax benefit.
Intel will be primarily responsible for controlling and contesting any audit or other tax proceeding. Disputes arising between the parties relating to matters covered by the Tax Sharing Agreement are subject to resolution through specific dispute resolution provisions.
We have been included in the Consolidated Group for the most recent annual period. It is expected that we will be included in the Consolidated Group following this offering. Each member of a consolidated group during any part of a consolidated return year is jointly and severally liable for the tax on the consolidated return of such year and for any subsequently determined deficiency thereon. Similarly, in some jurisdictions, each member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group for state, local or foreign income tax purposes
 
165

 
is jointly and severally liable for the state, local or foreign income tax liability of each other member of the consolidated, combined or unitary group. Accordingly, although the Tax Sharing Agreement allocates tax liabilities between us and Intel, for any period in which we were included in the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group, we could be liable in the event that any income tax liability was incurred, but not discharged, by any other member of any such group.
As of the date of this prospectus, Intel does not intend or plan to undertake a spin-off of our stock to Intel stockholders. Nevertheless, we and Intel have agreed to set forth our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to any possible spin-off in the Tax Sharing Agreement. If Intel were to decide to pursue a possible spin-off, we have agreed to cooperate with Intel and to take any and all actions reasonably requested by Intel in connection with such a transaction. We have also agreed not to knowingly take or fail to take any actions that could reasonably be expected to preclude Intel’s ability to undertake a tax-free spin-off. In the event Intel completes a spin-off, we have agreed not to take certain actions, such as asset sales or contributions, mergers, stock issuances or stock sales within the two years following the spin-off without first obtaining the opinion of tax counsel or an IRS ruling to the effect that such actions will not result in the spin-off failing to qualify as a tax-free spin-off. In addition, we generally would be responsible for, among other things, (i) any taxes resulting from the failure of a spin-off to qualify as a tax-free transaction to the extent such taxes are attributable to, or result from, any action or failure to act by us or certain transactions involving us following a spin-off and (ii) a percentage of such taxes to the extent such taxes are not attributable to, or do not result from, any action or failure to act by either us or Intel.
Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions
Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a written statement of policy regarding transactions with related persons (the “Related Person Policy”). The Related Person Policy requires that a “related person” ​(as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) must disclose to our legal department any “related person transaction” ​(defined as any transaction since the beginning of our then-last fiscal year that is anticipated to be reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. Our legal department will then communicate that information to our audit committee or the chair thereof. No related person transaction will be executed without the approval or ratification of our board of directors, acting through our audit committee or chair thereof. In reviewing any such proposal, our audit committee or chair thereof is to consider the relevant facts of the transaction, including the related person’s interest in the transaction, the terms of the transaction, the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction, and any other information regarding the transaction or the related person that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related person transaction in which they have an interest.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our directors will not be liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, we expect to enter into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers in connection with this offering, which requires us to indemnify them. For more information regarding these agreements, see “Description of Capital Stock — Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”
Directed Share Program
At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to 2,050,000 shares of Class A common stock, or 5% of the shares offered by this prospectus, for sale at the initial public offering price to our directors and to the directors, executive officers, and certain employees of Intel. Shares purchased through the directed share program will not be subject to a lock-up restriction, except in the case of shares purchased by any of our directors. The number of shares of Class A common stock available for sale to the general public will be
 
166

 
reduced to the extent these individuals purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares that are not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as the other shares offered by this prospectus. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will administer our directed share program.
Indication of Interest
Professor Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price, and any such shares would be subject to a lock-up agreement with the underwriters. See “Underwriting” for a description of the lock-up agreements applicable to our shares. Because this indication of interest is not a binding agreement or commitment to purchase, Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock immediately prior to and following the completion of this offering by:

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of our common stock;

each of our directors, director nominees and named executive officers individually; and

all of our directors, director nominees and executive officers as a group.
The number of shares of common stock outstanding before this offering and the corresponding percentage of beneficial ownership are based on zero shares of our Class A common stock and 100 shares of our Class B common stock (which gives pro forma effect to the reclassification of the 100 shares of our common stock outstanding to 100 shares of our Class B common stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering) outstanding as of October 1, 2022. The number of shares of common stock outstanding after this offering and the concurrent private placement and the corresponding percentage of beneficial ownership are based on the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2022 after giving effect to the offering and the concurrent private placement, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.
In addition, the following table does not reflect any shares of Class A common stock that may be purchased (i) by Professor Shashua pursuant to his indication of interest, (ii) by any of our directors pursuant to our directed share program described under “Underwriting — Directed Share Program” or (iii) otherwise in this offering.
The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to equity awards or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days after October 1, 2022 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The information provided in the table and related footnotes below do not give effect to any potential participation by the stockholders named therein, including any of our directors or executive officers, in the reserve share program with respect to this offering. Each of the stockholders listed has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the stockholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Includes 750,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock held directly by Intel Overseas Funding Corporation. Intel Corporation has dispositive voting and investment power over and therefore beneficial ownership of the shares held by Intel Overseas Funding Corporation. The principal business address of each of Intel Corporation and Intel Overseas Funding Corporation is 2200 Mission College Blvd. Santa Clara, CA 95052.

(3)
Professor Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price. Because this indication of interest is not a binding agreement or commitment to purchase, Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering. Assuming Professor Shashua is allocated and purchases his full indication of interests at a price of $19.00 (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), Professor Shashua would beneficially own less than one percent of the shares of Class A common stock and less than one percent of the voting power of our common stock after this offering, regardless of the extent to which the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock, and the other percentages set forth in this table would adjust accordingly.

In July 2022, Mr. Dagan resigned from his position as Executive Vice President, Products and Strategy to take on an advisory role and continues to be an employee of the Company for a temporary period of transition of his responsibilities. He is no longer deemed to be an executive officer of the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The description below of our capital stock and provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, and by the applicable provisions of Delaware law.
General
Upon completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 5,530,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which:

4,000,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common stock;

1,500,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common stock; and

30,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.
After the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. See “Management — Controlled Company Exemption.” Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we will issue all shares of our capital stock in uncertificated form.
Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we will be authorized to issue up to 5,500,000,000 shares of common stock, including 4,000,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock and 1,500,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock.
Common Stock
We have two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be identical, except with respect to voting, transfer, and conversion rights.
Voting Rights
Holders of our Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our Class B common stock will be entitled to ten votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our Class A common stock and the holders of our Class B common stock will generally vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Delaware law could require either holders of our Class A common stock or holders of our Class B common stock to vote separately in the following circumstances:

if we were to seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase or decrease the par value of a class of our capital stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment; and

if we were to seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences, or special rights of a class of our capital stock in a manner that affected its holders adversely, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation that will become effective immediately prior to the effective time of this registration statement will provide that stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting for the election of directors. As a result, the holders of a majority of our voting shares can elect all of the directors then standing for election.
Immediately following the completion of this offering, investors purchasing shares of our Class A common stock in this offering will hold approximately 0.6% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock (or approximately 0.7% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional
 
170

 
shares of our Class A common stock in full). Intel, which will beneficially own all of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, will beneficially own approximately 99.4% of the voting power our common stock (or approximately 99.3% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full) and, as a result, will have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions.
The holders of one-third of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business.
Conversion
Each share of our Class B common stock will be convertible into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder, provided that if our Class B common stock is distributed to security holders of Intel in a transaction (including any distribution in exchange for shares of Intel’s or its successor-in-interest’s common stock or other securities) intended to qualify as a distribution under Section 355 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of any successor statute, shares of our Class B common stock will no longer be convertible into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder. Prior to any such distribution, all shares of Class B common stock will automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock upon the transfer of such shares of Class B common stock by Intel other than to any of Intel’s successors. If such a distribution has not occurred, each share of Class B common stock will also automatically convert at such time as the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by Intel or its successor-in-interest falls below 20% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Following any such distribution, we may submit to our stockholders a proposal to convert all outstanding shares of our Class B common stock into shares of our Class A common stock, provided that we have received a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service satisfactory to Intel to the effect that the conversion will not affect the intended tax treatment of the distribution. In a meeting of our stockholders called for this purpose, the holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and, subject to applicable law, will vote together as a single class and neither class of common stock will be entitled to a separate class vote. All conversions will be effected on a share-for-share basis.
Dividends
Holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. See “Dividend Policy.”
Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution.
Rights and Preferences
Except for the conversion provisions with respect to our Class B common stock described above, holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The common stock will not be subject to further calls or assessment by us. All shares of our common stock that will be outstanding at the time of the completion of the offering will be fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may issue in the future.
 
171

 
Approval Rights of Holders of Class B Common Stock
In addition to any other vote required by law or by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, until the first date on which Intel ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, the prior affirmative vote or written consent of Intel as the holder of the Class B common stock is required in order to authorize us to:

adopt or implement any stockholder rights plan or similar takeover defense measure;

consolidate or merge with or into any other entity;

permit any of our subsidiaries to consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, with certain exceptions;

acquire the stock or assets of another entity for consideration in excess of $250,000,000 other than transactions in which we and one or more of our wholly owned subsidiaries are the only parties;

issue any stock or other equity securities except to our subsidiaries, pursuant to this offering, or pursuant to our employee benefit plans limited to a share reserve of 5% of the outstanding number of shares of our common stock on the immediately preceding December 31;

make or commit to make any individual or series of related capital or other expenditures in excess of $250,000,000;

create, incur, assume or permit to exist any indebtedness or guarantee any indebtedness in excess of $250,000,000;

make any loan to or purchase any debt securities of any person in excess of $250,000,000;

redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any equity securities of the company except repurchases from employees, officers, directors or other service providers upon termination of employment or through the exercise of any right of first refusal;

take any actions to dissolve, liquidate, or wind-up our company;

declare dividends on our stock; and

amend, terminate or adopt any provision inconsistent with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws.
Preferred Stock
Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we will be authorized to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, and our board of directors is expressly authorized to (1) fix the descriptions, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions with respect to any series of preferred stock and (2) specify the number of shares of any series of preferred stock. Any issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and the likelihood that such holders would receive dividend payments and payments on liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control or other corporate action. On the completion of this offering, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding. We presently have no plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Section 203 of the DGCL
Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
172

 

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 6623% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include the following:

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

any sale, transfer, pledge, or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.
In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we will explicitly opt out of these provisions for so long as Intel owns at least 15% of the combined voting power of our common stock. If Intel owns less than 15% of the combined voting power of our common stock, we will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL and, as a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
The below are provisions that will be included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our management team.
Dual class stock
As described above in “— Common Stock — Voting Rights,” our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide for a dual class common stock structure, which will provide Intel with the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions.
Board of director vacancies
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats, provided that vacancies on our board of directors caused by an action of stockholders may only be filled by a vote of the stockholders until Intel’s holdings in our stock are reduced so that it no longer maintains a majority of the
 
173

 
combined voting power of our common stock. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.
Classified board of directors and removal of directors
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, beginning at the first annual meeting of stockholders following any such time that Intel’s holdings in our stock no longer represent at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of our outstanding common stock, our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms, so that only one class of directors is elected each year. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that, beginning at the first annual meeting of stockholders following any such time that Intel’s holdings in our stock no longer represent at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of our outstanding common stock, directors will only be able to be removed from office for cause.
Stockholder action and special meetings of the stockholders
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, for so long as Intel holds a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders at a duly called annual or special meeting of our stockholders may be effected by consent in writing by the holders of our outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. If Intel holds less than a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders will have to be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of our stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by our stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our secretary upon written request by a majority of our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer, thus prohibiting stockholders from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations
Our amended and restated bylaws will provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws will also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
Amendment of Bylaws
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our amended and restated bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed by (i) our board of directors (without the need for consent by our stockholders) and (ii) our stockholders (without the need for consent by our board of directors).
Choice of forum
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding
 
174

 
brought on behalf of us, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or (4) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. As described below, this provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or Exchange Act, or rules and regulations thereunder. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the federal district courts of the U.S. will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that neither the exclusive forum provision nor our federal forum provision applies to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the foregoing provision; provided, however, that stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. We recognize that the forum selection clause in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clause in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees, or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees, and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.
For more information on the risks associated with our choice of forum provision, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to this Offering and Our Class A Common Stock — Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain exclusive forum provisions for certain claims, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.”
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, respectively, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of such provision is to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior.
However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has breached the duty of loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends, or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his, her or their actions as a director.
Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that we must generally indemnify, and advance expenses to, our directors and officers appointed by our board of directors to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We also will be expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers, employees, and agents for some liabilities. We believe that these limitations of liability, indemnification, and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.
 
175

 
The limitation of liability, indemnification, and advancement provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment in us may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents for which indemnification is sought.
Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers pursuant to which we will agree to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation Relating to Related Person Transactions and Corporate Opportunities
In anticipation that we and Intel may engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by us through our continued contractual, corporate, and business relations with Intel (including service of officers and/or directors of Intel as officers and/or directors of our company), certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation described below will regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of our company as they may involve Intel and its officers and directors, and the powers, rights, duties, and liabilities of our company and our officers, directors, and stockholders in connection with such affairs.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, so long as the material facts as to a contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction between us and Intel are disclosed or are known to our board of directors or the committee thereof that authorizes such contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction, and our board of directors or such committee in good faith authorizes such contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum, no such contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction will be void or voidable solely for the reason that Intel is a party thereto, and Intel:

will be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled any duties to us and our stockholders with respect to such contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction;

will not be liable to us or our stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty by reason of the entering into, performance or consummation of any such contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction;

will be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interests of our company; and

will be deemed not to have breached any duties of loyalty to us or our stockholders and not to have received an improper personal gain from such contract, agreement, arrangement, or transaction.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will further provide that, until the later of (i) first date on which Intel ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock and (ii) the date upon which none of our officers and/or directors are also officers and/or directors of Intel, Intel shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to, engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as we do, do business with any of our clients or customers, and employ or otherwise engage any of our officers or employees. We will renounce any interest or expectancy in any such activities and will not be deemed to have an interest or expectancy in any such activities merely because we
 
176

 
engage in the same or similar activities or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except as provided in the following paragraph, neither Intel nor any of its officers or directors will be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of Intel or of such person’s participation in such activities. Moreover, except as provided in the following paragraph, in the event that Intel acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both Intel and us, Intel will not have any duty to communicate or present it to us, and Intel shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as our stockholder by reason of the fact that it pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity, or does not present such corporate opportunity to us.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that, until the later of (i) first date on which Intel ceases to beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock and (ii) the date upon which none of our officers and/or directors are also officers and/or directors of Intel, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that our director or officer who is also a director or officer of Intel acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both us and Intel and which may be properly pursued by us, such director or officer will be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled such person’s fiduciary duty to us and our stockholders with respect to such corporate opportunity, will not be liable to us or our stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty because Intel pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself or directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to us, will be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believes to be in and not opposed to our best interests, and will be deemed not to have breached such person’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders or to have received an improper personal gain therefrom; provided that such director or officer acts in good faith in a manner consistent with the following policy:

where a corporate opportunity is offered to a person who is our director and/or officer and who is also a director and/or officer of Intel, we shall be entitled to pursue such opportunity only if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as our director and/or officer, as applicable; and

if our officer and/or director, who also serves as an officer and/or director of Intel, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both us and Intel in any manner not addressed by the foregoing bullet point, such officer or director shall have no duty to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to us and shall to the fullest extent permitted by law not be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as our officer or director by reason of the fact that Intel pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does not present such corporate opportunity to us.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering and the concurrent private placement, there has been no public market for our Class A common stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of shares or availability of any shares for sale will have on the market price of our Class A common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock issued on the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities, if any) or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock and our ability to raise additional capital through a future sale of securities.
All of the 41,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock sold in this offering (47,150,000 shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock in full) will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless such shares are purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144. Upon the completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement, all of our outstanding Class B common stock will be beneficially owned by Intel. The 5,263,158 shares to be sold in the concurrent private placement, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), and all shares of our Class B common stock will be “restricted securities” as that phrase is defined in Rule 144. Subject to certain contractual restrictions, including the lock-up agreements described below, holders of restricted shares will be entitled to sell those shares in the public market if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144, Rule 701, or any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act.
The Cornerstone Investors have, severally and not jointly, indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of $330 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price and on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers in this offering. The underwriters will receive the same underwriting discount on any shares of our Class A common stock purchased by the Cornerstone Investors as they will from any other shares of Class A common stock sold to the public in this offering, and any such shares would not be subject to a lock-up. In addition, Professor Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price, and any such shares would be subject to a lock-up agreement with the underwriters. See “Underwriting” for a description of the lock-up agreements applicable to our shares. Because these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the Cornerstone Investors and/or Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to any of the Cornerstone Investors or Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering.
Lock-Up Agreements
See “Underwriting” for a description of the lock-up agreements applicable to our shares.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, persons who became the beneficial owner of shares of our common stock prior to the completion of this offering may not sell their shares until the earlier of (1) the expiration of a six-month holding period, if we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and have filed all required reports for at least 90 days prior to the date of the sale, or (2) a one-year holding period.
At the expiration of the six-month holding period, a person who was not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale is entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares of our common stock provided current public information about us is available, and a person who was one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale is entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

one percent of the number of shares of our Class A common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 462,632 shares immediately after this offering and the concurrent private
 
178

 
placement, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus) and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares; or

the average weekly trading volume of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
At the expiration of the one-year holding period, a person who was not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares of our common stock without restriction. A person who was one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale would remain subject to the volume restrictions described above.
In addition, sales under Rule 144 by affiliates or persons who have been affiliates within the previous 90 days are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements. Upon completion of the lock-up period, and without giving effect to any purchase of shares of Class A common stock by Professor Shashua pursuant to his indication of interest or by any of our directors pursuant to our directed share program described under “Underwriting — Directed Share Program,” approximately 755,263,158 shares of our outstanding restricted securities will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to limitations on sales by affiliates.
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants, or advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of our initial public offering, or who purchased shares from us after that date upon the exercise of options granted before that date, are eligible to resell such shares in reliance upon Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus. If such person is not an affiliate, the sale may be made under Rule 144 without compliance with that rule’s holding period or current public information requirement. If such a person is an affiliate, the sale may be made under Rule 144 without compliance with that rule’s one-year minimum holding period, but subject to the other Rule 144 requirements. The SEC has indicated that Rule 701 may apply to typical stock options granted by an issuer before it becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, along with the shares acquired upon exercise of such options, including exercises after the date of this prospectus.
Registration Statements on Form S-8
We intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register all shares of our common stock subject to outstanding stock options and the shares of stock subject to issuance under our equity incentive plan. Any such Form S-8 registration statement will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market. We expect that the initial registration statement on Form S-8 will cover 40,120,658 shares.
Registration Rights
In connection with this offering, we will enter into an agreement that will provide that Intel will be entitled to various rights with respect to the registration of the offer and sale of our securities that it holds under the Securities Act, subject to the lock-up agreements described above. If the offer and sale of these shares is registered, these shares will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration, except for shares purchased by affiliates.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A common stock by non-U.S. holders (as defined below) who acquire such shares in this offering and hold our Class A common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on current provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative rulings and interpretations and court decisions in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretation at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a non-U.S. holder in light of that holder’s particular circumstances or that may be applicable to holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (including, for example, banks and other financial institutions, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, insurance companies, retirement plans, mutual funds, tax-exempt entities, holders who acquired shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, holders liable for the alternative minimum tax, certain expatriates and former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States, holders who have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, and holders who hold shares of our Class A common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction). In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the U.S. federal income tax, nor does it address any aspects of the unearned income Medicare contribution tax or U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. income and other tax considerations (including any U.S. federal estate or gift tax considerations) of owning and disposing of shares of our Class A common stock.
For purposes of this discussion, the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock that is not any of the following:

a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes holds shares of our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding shares of our Class A common stock and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors.
Prospective holders of our Class A common stock should consult with their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local, non-U.S. income and other tax laws) of the ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A common stock.
Distributions on Our Class A Common Stock
In general, subject to the discussion below under “— Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” any distributions we make to a non-U.S. holder with respect to its shares of our Class A common stock that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount (or a reduced rate prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty), unless the dividends are effectively connected with a trade or business carried on by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent
 
180

 
establishment of the non-U.S. holder within the U.S.). A distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated as first reducing the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder’s shares of our Class A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder’s shares of our Class A common stock, as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares.
Dividends effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment) of a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements. Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis, in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a resident of the U.S. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, subject to certain adjustments.
Gain on Sale or Other Disposition of Our Class A Common Stock
In general, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock unless:

the gain is “effectively connected” with a trade or business carried on by the non-U.S. holder within the United States and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder;

the non-U.S. holder is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied; or

we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition and the non-U.S. holder’s holding period and certain other conditions are satisfied.
Gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at regular U.S. federal income tax rates. If the non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, the branch profits tax described above also may apply to such effectively connected gain. An individual non-U.S. holder who is subject to U.S. federal income tax because the non-U.S. holder was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the year of sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from such sale or other disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.
Generally, a corporation is a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business (all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Although there can be no assurances in this regard, we believe that we are not currently, and do not anticipate becoming, a U.S. real property holding corporation.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Provisions commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) impose withholding (separate and apart from, but without duplication of, the withholding tax described above) at a rate of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on shares of our Class A common stock to certain foreign financial institutions (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain non-financial foreign entities unless (1) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide, on an annual basis, to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners), (2) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies to the withholding agent that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying
 
181

 
the direct and indirect substantial U.S. owners of the entity, (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules or, if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports the information described in clause (1) to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution will generally be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future Treasury regulations, may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of our Class A common stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our Class A common stock.

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price will be negotiated among us and the representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of our Class A common stock, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

We have applied to have our Class A common stock approved for listing on Nasdaq under the symbol “MBLY”.
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our Class A common stock in the open market. The underwriters may also offer and sell the shares of Class A common stock through one or more of their respective affiliates or other registered broker-dealers or selling agents. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions, and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering, and a short position represents the amount of such sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A “covered short position” is a short position that is not greater than the number of additional shares for which the underwriters’ option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option described above. “Naked” short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the number of additional shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any such naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our Class A common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of our Class A common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the market price of our Class A common stock. As a result, the price of our Class A common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.
We estimate that our share of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $16.6 million.
We will also agree to reimburse the underwriters for expenses in an amount not to exceed $35,000 relating to any applicable state securities filings and to clearance of this offering with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. We will also agree to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the underwriters have agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses in connection with this offering.
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to us and to persons and entities with relationships with us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, and employees may purchase, sell, or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps, and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to our assets, securities, and/or instruments (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with whom we have relationships. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or
 
186

 
trading ideas, and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities, or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities, and instruments.
“Wolfe | Nomura Alliance” is the marketing name used by Wolfe Research Securities and Nomura Securities International, Inc. in connection with certain equity capital markets activities conducted jointly by the firms. Both Nomura Securities International, Inc. and WR Securities, LLC are serving as underwriters in the offering described herein. In addition, WR Securities, LLC and certain of its affiliates may provide sales support services, investor feedback, investor education, and/or other independent equity research services in connection with this offering.
Directed Share Program
At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to 2,050,000 shares of Class A common stock, or 5% of the shares offered by this prospectus, for sale at the initial public offering price to our directors and to the directors, executive officers, and certain employees of Intel. Shares purchased through the directed share program will not be subject to a lock-up restriction, except in the case of shares purchased by any of our directors. The number of shares of Class A common stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent these individuals purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares that are not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as the other shares offered by this prospectus. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will administer our directed share program.
Indications of Interest
The Cornerstone Investors have, severally and not jointly, indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of $330 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price and on the same terms and conditions as the other purchasers in this offering. The underwriters will receive the same underwriting discount on any shares of our Class A common stock purchased by the Cornerstone Investors as they will from any other shares of Class A common stock sold to the public in this offering, and any such shares would not be subject to a lock-up. In addition, Professor Shashua, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of our board of directors, has indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10 million of the shares of our Class A common stock offered in this offering at the initial public offering price, and any such shares would be subject to a lock-up agreement with the underwriters as described above in this section. Because these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the Cornerstone Investors and/or Professor Shashua could determine to purchase more, less, or no shares in this offering, and the underwriters could determine to sell more, less, or no shares to any of the Cornerstone Investors or Professor Shashua. As a result, the underwriters may allocate such shares to other investors in this offering.

EXPERTS
The combined financial statements as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 and for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
Kesselman & Kesselman (“PwC”) completed an independence assessment to evaluate the services and relationships with the Company and its affiliates that may bear on PwC’s independence under the SEC and the PCAOB independence rules for the audit periods commencing December 30, 2018 through December 25, 2021. As described below, services and relationships were found to exist at controlled subsidiaries of the Company’s indirect parent, Intel Corporation and/or benefitting an upstream affiliate of the Company, within the audit period which are not in accordance with the independence standards of Regulation S-X and the PCAOB.

Prior to December 30, 2018 and through January 2022, certain member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (“PwC member firms”) performed certain payroll and human resource administrative services inconsistent with Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, which included records administration, employee registration with local authorities, statistical reporting and signing and stamping declarations on behalf of Intel Corporation, transmission of payroll information to banks and to third party service providers for actual payment, data storage of employee data, as well as manually and/or electronically distributing pay stubs to employees of Intel Corporation.

From July 2020 through December 2021, a PwC member firm provided services pursuant to a contingent fee arrangement.

From June 2021 through January 2022, certain PwC member firms provided non-audit services for which certain activities inconsistent with Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X were performed, which were hosting applications, filing a document with a non-taxing authority and making a payment on behalf of an affiliate.

Certain professionals of PwC member firms who are covered persons with respect to the audit of the Company under PCAOB standards hold shares in Intel Corporation. Ownership of shares in Intel Corporation is prohibited under the SEC and PCAOB independence rules for covered persons. The shares, where allowed under federal law, were disposed of promptly upon notification of these matters and were not material to the respective professionals’ net worth.
PwC provided an overview to our Board of Directors to be updated to the Audit Committee upon formation of an Audit Committee and Executive Management team of the facts and circumstances surrounding the services and relationships, including the entities involved, the nature of the services and relationships, the period over which the services and relationships existed, and the fees earned by the PwC network firms. Additionally, the services, relationships and fees are not significant to the PwC network firms, do not place PwC in a position of auditing its own work, do not result in PwC acting as management or an employee of the Company and do not place PwC in a position of being an advocate for the Company. Considering the facts presented, our Board of Directors, to be updated to the Audit Committee upon formation of an Audit Committee, Executive Management team and PwC have concluded (1) that the services and relationships do not and would not impair PwC’s application of objective and impartial judgment on any matter encompassed within PwC’s audits of our combined financial statements as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 and for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 and (2) no reasonable investor would conclude otherwise.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Intel and the Shareholder of Mobileye Group
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Mobileye Group (a business of Intel Corporation) (the “Company”) as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 25, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 25, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s combined financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these combined financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the combined financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the combined financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the combined financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Attribution of Intangible Assets to the Combined Financial Statements
As described in Note 11 to the combined financial statements, the Company’s intangible asset balance was $3,071 million at December 25, 2021 and the amortization expense was $509 million for the year ended December 25, 2021. These intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology and customer relationships and brands that were attributed to the Company from Intel Corporation (the “Parent”) as part of the net parent investment in the Company primarily from the acquisition of Mobileye B.V. The recognition of those intangible assets included significant judgment in estimating the fair value of intangible assets, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections and discount rate as well as the determination of the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.
 
F-2

 
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the attributed intangible assets to the Company is a critical audit matter are (i) there was a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in applying procedures relating to the fair value measurement of intangible assets due to the significant amount of judgment by management when developing the estimate; (ii) significant audit effort was required in evaluating the significant assumptions relating to the estimate, such as the cash flow projections, discount rate and estimated useful lives; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the combined financial statements. These procedures included, among others (i) testing management's process for estimating the fair value of intangible assets and their useful lives; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow model and determination of the useful lives, (iii) testing management’s cash flow projections used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets, using professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in doing so. Testing management’s process included evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methods and the reasonableness of significant assumptions, including the discount rate for the intangible assets and their useful lives. Evaluating the reasonableness of the cash flow projections, discount rate and estimated useful lives, involved considering the past performance of the businesses, as well as economic and industry forecasts. The discount rate was evaluated by considering the cost of capital of comparable businesses and other industry factors.

MOBILEYE GROUP
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
NOTE 1   GENERAL
Background
Mobileye Group is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. Mobileye Group combines the operations of Cyclops Holdings Corporation, Mobileye B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Mobileye”) GG Acquisition Ltd. and the Moovit App Global Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Moovit”) and certain Intel employees mainly in research and development (the “Intel Aligned Groups”) (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, and “our”). The Company operates as a combination of wholly-owned businesses of Intel Corporation (“Intel or the “Parent”).
Mobileye operates as a component of Intel, which acquired a majority stake in Mobileye in August 2017 (the “Mobileye Acquisition”). The remaining issued and outstanding shares of Mobileye were acquired by Intel during 2018. The Company is building a robust portfolio of end-to-end ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to provide the capabilities required for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies.
Moovit, a leading urban mobility app and mobility-as-a-service (“MaaS”) solutions provider also operates as a component of Intel upon acquisition of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Moovit in May 2020 (the “Moovit Acquisition”).
In December 2021, Intel announced plans to pursue an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Mobileye Group. In January 2022, Intel incorporated a new legal entity, Mobileye Global Inc., with the intent to contribute the Company to Mobileye Global Inc. and be able to offer newly issued shares of common stock of Mobileye Global Inc. in an IPO. Intel expects to retain majority ownership of the Company following the completion of the IPO.
NOTE 2   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
The combined financial statements and accompanying notes have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Intel and are presented as if the Company had been operating as a stand-alone company for all periods presented. The assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to the Company’s operations, including the acquired goodwill and intangible assets, have been reflected in these combined financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of Intel.
The Company utilized the Intel Aligned Groups mainly in research and development activities. The associated costs of the Intel Aligned Groups are reflected on a specific attribution basis in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Intel Aligned Groups also participated in various Intel compensation and benefit plans. Portions of those plans’ costs were based on actual headcount and included in these combined financial statements. These costs are not necessarily indicative of costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated on a stand-alone basis.
The combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) also include allocations of general corporate expenses from Intel. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable or allocated on the basis of headcount. Management of the Company and Parent considered the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Mobileye largely continued to operate as a standalone operation and had not been fully integrated into
 
F-9

 
Intel, with limited use of corporate overhead functions. The allocated costs for the periods presented in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) were not material. The allocations may not be reflective of the expenses that would have incurred had the Company operated as a stand-alone company for the periods presented. These costs also may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from a third party. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, the outsourcing of certain functions, and other strategic decisions.
As Mobileye Group was not historically held by a single legal entity, total parent net investment is shown in lieu of equity in the combined financial statements and represents Intel’s total interest in the recorded net assets of Mobileye Group. All intercompany transactions within the combined businesses of the Company have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and Intel, arising from arrangements with Intel and other similar related-party transactions, were considered to be effectively settled in the combined financial statements at the time the transactions were recorded, unless otherwise noted. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions was reflected within parent net investment as a component of equity in the combined balance sheets and within net transfers from (to) Parent as a financing activity in the combined statements of cash flows, unless otherwise noted.
Net loss per share data has not been presented in the combined financial statements because Mobileye Group did not operate as a separate legal entity with its own capital structure during the periods presented.
The Company operates on a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 were 52-week fiscal years.
Use of estimates
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts and events reported and disclosed in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors, including the current economic environment, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to recognition and useful lives of intangible assets, impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill, and income taxes.
Functional currency
The majority of the Company’s and its subsidiaries revenue are denominated in the United States (“U.S.”) dollar, as are most purchases of materials and components. The Company’s financings and capitalization have also been denominated in the U.S. dollar. Management believes that the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate is the U.S. dollar, and thus, the U.S. dollar is the functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Accordingly, transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are measured and recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are measured using the official exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using the historical exchange rate. The effects of foreign currency remeasurements are recorded in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as other expenses, net.
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
Cash equivalents are short-term unrestricted highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition.
Restricted bank deposits are cash amounts related to bank guarantees mainly in connection with lease agreements and import of vehicles. Such deposits are stated at cost, which approximates market values. These amounts are included in other long-term assets on the combined balance sheets.
 
F-10

 
Cash and restricted cash managed through bank accounts legally owned by the Parent at the corporate level were not attributable to the Company for any of the periods presented. Only cash and restricted cash legally owned by the Company are reflected on the combined balance sheets.

Fair value measurement
When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, as well as assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company assesses fair value hierarchy levels for its financial assets based on the underlying financial instrument.
Consistent with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy as a basis for considering the assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but are corroborated by market data or active market data for similar, but not identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The Company monitors and reviews the inputs and results of these valuation models to help ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable and consistent with market experience in similar asset classes. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
The Company measures its investments in short term deposits classified as cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis, due to the short maturity of these items, the carrying value is deemed to approximate to fair value. Short term deposits included in cash and cash equivalents were $209 million and $59 million as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively.
The carrying amounts of the related party loan, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.
The Company also has goodwill and acquisition-related in-process research and development assets that are required to be recorded at fair value only if an impairment is recognized in the current year. As described in further details in Note 10 and Note 11, these assets are evaluated on an ongoing basis for impairment. The fair value of these assets was determined using estimated discounted future cash flows, or cost-replacement and cost-savings methods, which are Level 3 valuation techniques.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company computes inventory cost on an average cost basis and adjusts for excess and obsolete inventories primarily based on future demand and market conditions, including product-specific facts and circumstances that considers the Company’s
 
F-11

 
customer base and an assessment of selling price in relation to product cost. Once written-down, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives per asset type are as follows:
Years
Computers, equipment, and software
3 – 7
Vehicles
7
Office furniture and equipment
14
Electronic equipment
4
Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the lease and estimated useful life of the improvements. Buildings and any assets in construction are not depreciated until they are put into service.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire in the combined financial statements beginning on the date of acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Company’s acquisitions based on their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments in determining the fair value of the following:

intangible assets, including the valuation methodology, estimations of future cash flows, discount rates, and growth rates, as well as the estimated useful life of intangible assets;

deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax-related valuation allowances, which are initially estimated as of the acquisition date;

inventory; property and equipment; pre-existing liabilities or legal claims; deferred revenue; and contingent consideration, each as may be applicable; and

goodwill measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
The Company’s assumptions and estimates are based on comparable market data and information obtained from the Company’s management and the management of the acquired companies. The Company allocates goodwill to the reporting units of the business that are expected to benefit from the acquisition.
Goodwill
The Company performs an annual impairment assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The analysis may include both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of impairment. Additionally, the Company is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is performed if the Company determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount.
Qualitative factors include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, the Company may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring a reporting unit’s fair value.
 
F-12

 
The Company’s quantitative impairment test considers both the income approach and the market approach to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value. Significant estimates include growth rates, estimated costs, and discount rates based on a reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital.
The Company performed a quantitative assessment for one of its reporting units in the year ended December 25, 2021. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill for any of the periods presented. Forecasts and estimates are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the business. Changes in these estimates could change the conclusion regarding an impairment of goodwill.
Intangible assets, net
The Company amortizes acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life. Acquisition-related in-process research and development assets represent the fair value of incomplete research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition; initially, these are classified as in-process research and development and are not subject to amortization. Once these research and development projects are completed, the asset balances are transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology and are subject to amortization from this point forward. The asset balances relating to projects that are abandoned after acquisition are impaired and expensed to research and development.
The Company performs a quarterly review of significant finite-lived identified intangible assets to determine whether facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. These reviews can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific product lines.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Assets are categorized and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In the event that the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment charge would be recognized and the assets would be written down to their estimated fair values. During the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, no impairment indicators were identified.
Research and development, net
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and consist primarily of personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies for research and development activities.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 985, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, which requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with development be charged to research and development expenses until technological feasibility is established. The technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. The costs incurred by the Company between technological feasibility and general release to the public have been insignificant. Accordingly, all research and development costs have been expensed as incurred.
The Company occasionally enters into best-efforts nonrefundable, non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) arrangements pursuant to which the Company is reimbursed for a portion of the research and development expenses attributable to specific development programs. The Company does not receive any additional compensation or royalties upon completion of such projects and the potential customer does not commit to purchase the resulting product in the future. The participation reimbursement received by the Company does not depend on whether there are future benefits from the project. All intellectual property generated from these arrangements is exclusively owned by the Company.
Participations in expenses for research and development projects are recognized on the basis of the costs incurred and are netted against research and development expenses in the combined statements of
 
F-13

 
operations and comprehensive income (loss). Research and development reimbursements of $54 million, $48 million, and $42 million were offset against research and development costs in the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, respectively.
Derivatives and hedging
Beginning in 2021, as part of Intel’s corporate hedging program, Intel is hedging forecast cash flows denominated in Israel Shekels (“ILS”) related to the Company. ILS is the largest operating expense currency of the Company. Intel combines all of its ILS exposures, and as part of Intel’s hedging program enters into hedging contracts to hedge Intel’s combined ILS exposure. Gains and losses attributed to these combined financial statements are recorded under accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amount of hedging gain that was reclassified to the combined statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 25, 2021 was approximately $13 million.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes net product revenue when performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by the transfer of control of the Company’s products or services to customers. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. In accordance with contract terms, revenue for product sales is recognized at the time of product shipment from the Company’s facilities, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms. Revenue for product sales to resellers and distributors is recognized at the time of delivery of products to the resellers and distributors.
The Company measures revenue based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for products or services. Variable consideration is estimated and reflected as an adjustment to the transaction price. The Company determines variable consideration, which consists primarily of various volume rebates, by estimating the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to receive from the customer. Volume rebates earned by customers are offset against their receivable balances. Rebates earned by customers when they do not have outstanding receivable balances are recorded within other current liabilities. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts do not include right of return or acceptance provisions. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes invoiced to customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Any shipping and handling costs related to the fulfillment of sales are included in cost of revenue.
Advertising expenses
Advertising expenses are charged to sales and marketing on the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019 amounted to $2 million, $3 million, and $2 million, respectively.
Share-based compensation
The Company’s employees participate in Intel’s equity incentive plans. Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the estimated grant date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options to purchase shares of Intel common stock at the date of grant using an option pricing model and values restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based on the market value of the underlying share of Intel common stock at the date of grant. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures.
Income Taxes
The Company computes the provision for income taxes under the asset and liability method prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Guidance ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in these combined financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities, resulting from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets

and liabilities, are measured as of the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income, of appropriate character, within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are established when the Company determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as the amount of such allowances.
The Company records accruals for uncertain tax positions when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained on examination by tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adjusts these accruals when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate.
Income taxes as presented herein attribute certain current and deferred income taxes of the Company’s Parent to the Company’s combined financial statements in a manner that is consistent with the asset and liability method.
During the years presented in the combined financial statements, certain components of the Company’s business operations were included in the consolidated U.S. domestic and certain foreign income tax returns filed by the Company’s Parent, where applicable. The Company also files certain foreign income tax returns on a separate basis, distinct from its Parent. The income tax provision included in the Company’s combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. The Company will present tax loss carry-forward amounts that have not been utilized by the Parent only to the extent such tax attributes can be claimed on a separate income tax return as opposed to a consolidated income tax return filing with its Parent. Use of the separate return method may result in differences when amounts allocated to the Company’s separate income tax provision are compared to the Parent’s income tax provision.
Provision for warranties
The Company provides warranties for its products, which vary with respect to each contract and in accordance with the nature of each specific product. The warranty terms vary from one to three years, with the vast majority of the Company’s products being subject to a warranty period of three years. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time revenue is recognized. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Provision for warranties is included in other current liabilities on the combined balance sheets. Provision for warranties as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, as well as warranty expenses for the each of the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, were not material.
Loss contingencies
The Company is currently involved in commercial claims within the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. When accruing these costs, the Company recognizes an accrual for an amount within a range of loss that is the best estimate within the range. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues for the minimum estimated loss within the range. The Company discloses contingencies when it believes that a loss is not probable, but reasonably possible.
Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
 
F-15

 
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the combined balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.
Leases primarily consist of real property and vehicles and are classified as operating leases with fixed payment terms. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and records the leases in these combined financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are included in other long-term assets, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on the combined balance sheet. Lease expenses for the operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are included in operating expenses in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Options to extend or terminate the lease are taken into account when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such options will be exercised.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components are accounted for separately and not included in the leased assets and corresponding liabilities. On the commencement date, lease payments that include variable lease payments dependent on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate), are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date. Variable payments that depend on performance or use of the underlying asset are not included in the lease payments. Such variable payments are recognized in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. These variable payment amounts were not material to the combined financial statements for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019.
The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in most of its leases is not readily determinable.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, which include short-term deposits, and trade accounts receivable.
The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in banks domiciled in the U.S., as well as in Israel. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand. Short term bank deposits, included in cash and cash equivalents, are held in the aforementioned banks. Accordingly, management believes that these bank deposits have minimal credit risk.
The Company’s account receivables are derived primarily from sales to Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive manufacturing industry located mainly in the U.S., Europe, and China. Concentration of credit risk with respect to account receivables is mitigated by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation, and account monitoring procedures. Credit is granted based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 to 60 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and has not experienced any material losses in the periods presented. See Note 12 related to customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable balance for each of the years presented in these combined financial statements. The Company establishes credit losses accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history from such customers, and the customers’ current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. As of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the credit losses accounts receivable, which is determined with respect to specific debts that are doubtful of collection and netted against accounts receivable, was not material. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible. For the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the charge-offs and recoveries in relation to the credit losses accounts were not material.
 
F-16

 
Customer concentration risk
The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition for the foreseeable future will likely continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers. In the future, these customers may decide not to purchase the Company’s products, may purchase fewer products than in previous years, or may alter their purchasing patterns. Further, the amount of revenue attributable to any single customer or customer concentration generally may fluctuate in any given period. In addition, a decline in the production levels of one or more of the Company’s major customers, particularly with respect to vehicle models for which the Company is a significant supplier, could reduce revenue. The loss of one or more key customers, a reduction in sales to any key customer or the Company’s inability to attract new significant customers could negatively impact revenue and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. See Note 12 related to customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable balance for each of the years presented in these combined financial statements.
Dependence on a single supplier risk
The Company purchases all its System on Chip (“EyeQ® SoC”) from a single supplier. Any issues that occur and persist in connection with the manufacture, delivery, quality, or cost of the assembly and testing of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected significant portions of our business and could have a continued adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. There is a significant constraint in the global supply of semiconductors. The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the demand for consumer electronics and global semiconductor manufacturers allocated significant capacity to meet such demand. As global automakers resumed production in 2020 following shutdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, semiconductor supply became further strained, and these factors, combined with the long lead times associated with the Company, have contributed to a shortage of semiconductors.
During the year ended December 25, 2021, the Company’s supplier was not able to meet demand of the Company for the EyeQ® SoC, causing a significant reduction in the inventory level of the Company, and the Company expects that it may continue to experience a shortfall of EyeQ® SoC during 2022. As the Company has entered fiscal 2022 with significantly lower inventories of its EyeQ® SoC resulting from the limited supply during the year ended December 25, 2021, it may be unable to offset future supply constraints through the use of inventory on hand. Since the EyeQ® SoC is the core of the ADAS and AV products, continued shortages in the supply of sufficient EyeQ® SoC to meet production needs may impair the Company’s ability to meet its customers’ requirements in a timely manner and may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, to the extent that the global semiconductor shortage results in reduced production or production delays by automakers, those delays could result in reduced or delayed demand for the Company products. In addition, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays in the delivery of critical components, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Sustaining the Company’s production trajectory will require the readiness and solvency of its suppliers and vendors, a stable and motivated production workforce and ongoing government cooperation, including for travel and visa allowances, which many governments have restricted in connection with efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Accounting pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The Company adopted ASC 326 in the first quarter of 2020 and there
 
F-17

 
was no material impact on the Company’s combined balance sheet and the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) upon adoption.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to compute the implied fair value of goodwill to measure impairment. Instead, any goodwill impairment will equal the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value carrying amount of goodwill. In addition, the guidance eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment test in years beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2020 with no material impact on these combined financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective:
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. ASU No. 2020-04 is effective through December 31, 2022. The Company will adopt this standard when LIBOR is discontinued, and all contracts will be renegotiated at that point. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on the Company’s combined financial statements and accompanying notes.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance, which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information around the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s combined financial statements, and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022 and only impacts annual financial statement footnote disclosures. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on the Company’s combined financial statements and accompanying notes.

Substantially all of the Company’s property and equipment and long-lived assets were located in Israel as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020.
Royalty bearing agreements
The Company has entered into a number of license and technology transfer agreements with third parties. The agreements allow the Company to utilize and leverage the third parties’ technology in order to integrate it into the Company’s products. In consideration thereof, the Company is obligated to pay royalties to each of the third parties, for each unit of the applicable integrated product sold to other parties. As a result, during the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the Company recorded expenses of approximately $7 million, $5 million, and $6 million, respectively. These expenses were classified as a component of cost of revenue.
NOTE 4   EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
In Israel
Severance
Israeli labor laws generally require severance payments upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. The following principal plans relate to the Company’s employees in Israel:
Severance pay liability with respect to Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees, multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the period-end date. The Company records an expense for the increase in its severance liability, net of earnings (losses) from the related severance pay funds. The liabilities are presented on an undiscounted basis and included on the combined balance sheets as a long-term employee benefit. Severance pay liabilities as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 were $68 million and $59 million, respectively.
The Company’s liability for all of its Israeli employees is covered for by monthly deposits with severance pay funds. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrender value of these policies and includes earnings (or losses) accumulated through the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. Severance pay funds, which are included in other long-term assets, were $58 million and $48 million as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively.
Part of the Company’s liability for severance pay is covered by the provisions of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law (“Section 14”). Under Section 14, employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at
 
F-19

 
a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, contributed by the Company on their behalf to their insurance funds. Payments by the Company in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. As a result, the Company does not recognize any liability for severance pay due to these employees under Section 14 and the related deposits are not recorded as assets on the combined balance sheets.
Other long-term employee benefits
Intel has a defined benefit plan for an adaptation grant for certain Intel aligned employees. The adaptation grant includes a salary for three months and may be paid to those employees upon retirement. The benefits under the adaptation grant are calculated based on years of service and pensionable earnings. The vested benefit obligation for a defined benefit plan is the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the employee is currently entitled based on the employee’s expected date of separation or retirement.
For the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the periodic benefit costs were $2 million, $1 million, and $1 million, respectively, the discount rates were 3.1%, 2.9%, and 2.6%, respectively, and the assumed rates of compensation increase were 4.0%, 4.2%, and 3.9%, respectively.
Projected benefit obligations as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 were $23 million and $18 million, respectively. The accumulated other comprehensive income related to this benefit was not material for all periods presented.
Non-Israeli Defined Contribution Plans
Most of the Company’s non-Israeli subsidiaries provide defined contribution plans for the benefit of their employees. The plans primarily provide for Company matching contributions based upon a percentage of the employees’ contributions. The Company’s contributions for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019 under such plans were not material.
NOTE 5   LEASES
The Company has entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for its main offices and vehicles.
The lease term of the majority of the Company’s operating leases varies from three to five years. Some of the Company’s leases include options to extend the lease term for up to five years. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Lease expenses for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate. The Company calculates the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date for new leases commencing after January 1, 2019. Differences between the estimated lease liability and actual payment are expensed as incurred and are not material for all periods presented. The lease agreements generally do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Operating lease expense for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019 were $11 million, $9 million, and $8 million, respectively, and operating cash outflows from operating leases were $12 million, $10 million, and $9 million, respectively. The Company does not have any finance leases.

The Company obtained the right to use land in Jerusalem from the Israeli government for the construction of a new research and development and innovation center that will also host the Company’s headquarters. This land lease was fully prepaid and no leases liabilities were recorded. This operating lease right of use asset is carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method. This operating lease right of use asset, net of depreciation, was $11 million and $11 million as of December, 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively, and is included in other long-term assets on the combined balance sheets.
NOTE 6   EQUITY AWARDS
The Company’s equity incentive plans are broad-based, long-term programs intended to attract and retain talented employees. The Company’s employees participate in Intel’s equity incentive plan. All references to share and per share data in the tables below refer to Intel’s common stock.
The Intel Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) provides for the grant of equity awards covering Intel common stock to eligible employees of the business and contain only a service condition. The equity awards granted generally vest over the course of three years from the grant date. The Company expenses the equity compensation costs according to the shorter of the vesting schedule or on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
With respect to Israeli employees, the 2006 Plan is designed to grant awards pursuant to the provision of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. In accordance with the capital gains treatment elected by the Company, the Company is not allowed for tax purposes to deduct the amounts credited to employees. This includes amounts recorded as salary benefits in the Company’s combined financial statements, in respect of equity granted to employees under the plan, with the exception of the benefit component, if any, on the grant date.

In the tax year ended December 25, 2021, Mobileye’s Israeli operations became taxable in the U.S. as a branch entity. As a result, certain operations are taxed both in the U.S. and locally in Israel. For U.S. tax purposes, there were favorable current tax deductions that we could not benefit from due to a valuation allowance position. This resulted in a residual tax expense associated with a deferred tax liability recorded for goodwill.
In Israel, the Company benefits from a reduced tax rate under the Special Preferred Technological Enterprise status under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, or the Investment Law.
Under the Investment Law, income derived by Preferred Companies from ‘Special Preferred Technological Enterprises’ (as defined in the 2017 Amendment), would be subject to 6% tax rate on income deriving from intellectual property, subject to a number of conditions being fulfilled, including a minimal amount or ratio of annual research and development expenditures and research and development employees, as well as having at least 25% of annual income derived from exports. Special Preferred Technological Enterprise is defined as an enterprise which meets the aforementioned conditions and for which total consolidated revenue of its Parent company and all subsidiaries are more than ILS10 billion.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as long term on the combined balance sheets.

In the tax year ending December 25, 2021, Mobileye’s Israeli operations became taxable in the U.S. as a branch entity. As a result, the Company recognized the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for U.S. income tax purposes which resulted in a net deferred tax liability after evaluation of deferred tax assets for realizability.

For purposes of these combined financial statements, the income tax expense and deferred tax balances have been prepared as if the Company filed income tax returns on the separate return method. Net operating losses generated by the Company that have been utilized as part of the Intel consolidated tax return filing have not been reflected in these combined financial statements based on a return reality methodology since they will not be available to offset taxable income of the Company in future periods. The Company had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $275 million for the year ended December 25, 2021, which were generated in a separate tax return years before becoming eligible for consolidation with Intel (separate return losses) on July 17, 2021.
The Company has generated a non-U.S. net operating loss carryforward of $131 million for the year ended December 25, 2021. This net operating loss carryforward amount relates primarily to operations in Israel and has an indefinite carry-forward period.
Realization of deferred tax assets is based on the Company’s judgment and various factors including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the ability to generate future taxable income in jurisdictions where such assets have arisen, and potential tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded in order to reduce
 
F-26

 
the deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in the future. The valuation allowance for the years presented are primarily related to U.S. branch deferred tax assets not currently expected to be realized given that the Company has sustained recent losses based on the separate return method.
The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest undistributed foreign earnings into foreign operations and expects future U.S. cash generated to be sufficient to meet future U.S. cash needs. Therefore, the Company has not provided for deferred income taxes on undistributed foreign earnings. In making this determination, the Company evaluates both near-term and long-term fiscal needs of its U.S. domestic operations and its foreign subsidiaries. The estimation of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on undistributed foreign earnings is not practicable for the combined balance sheets dates presented.
Uncertain tax positions
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was as follows:

As of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company had accrued $1 million and $1 million, respectively, for interest and penalties payable related to uncertain tax positions. The allowance for uncertain tax positions is included in other current and long-term liabilities on the combined balance sheets. The tax expenses related to uncertain tax positions included penalties and interest for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, were not material.
All the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate.
There are no material changes anticipated in the uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months, except in the case of settlements with tax authorities, the likelihood and timing of which is difficult to estimate, and in the lapse of statutes of limitations. The Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 25, 2021 could decrease by as much as $2 million in the next 12 months due to lapses in statutes of limitations.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Israel, and in other certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. and Israeli tax examinations for years prior to 2018 and 2016, respectively.
NOTE 8   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into a series of related party arrangements with Intel. The arrangements were as follows:
Equity Conversion Arrangements for Purposes of Funding Acquisitions
For purposes of the Mobileye Acquisition, Intel entered into a loan agreement in 2017 to make available to the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $20 billion (the “2017 Loan”). The amount of the 2017 Loan was denominated in U.S. dollars and the interest rate was based on the short term quarterly Applicable Federal Rate published by the Internal Revenue Service.
In 2019, the outstanding principal balance of $15.3 billion on the 2017 Loan was converted to equity as a contribution by Intel to the Company, thereby canceling the principal. In 2020, $679 million of accrued interest was converted to equity as a contribution by Intel to the Company.
 
F-27

 
There was no outstanding principal or interest balance as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020. Interest expense recognized by the Company totaled $0 million, $1 million, and $257 million for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, respectively.
Loan arrangements
The Company entered into a series of bilateral lending/borrowing arrangements with Intel. The purposes of the facilities are to enable bilateral cash movements between the parties. The arrangements are denominated in U.S dollars.
In 2017, Intel and the Company entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 1”) to make available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Arrangement 1 has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. In 2021, Arrangement 1 was amended to increase the capacity from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, and the maturity date was automatically renewed to December 2022.
In 2017, Intel and the Company entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 2”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. Arrangement 2 has a maturity date of September 2022 and has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each.
In 2021, Intel and the Company entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 3” and, together with Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2, the “Bilateral Loan Arrangements”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. Arrangement 3 has a maturity date of July 2022 and has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. The interest rate is based on an applicable margin of 0.0% with an option for Intel to elect to increase or decrease the applicable margin on or after the first day of the 2022 fiscal year. If the election to increase the applicable margin is applied, the spread adjustment would be reflective of the difference between three-month LIBOR and the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
The total outstanding balance under the Bilateral Loan Arrangements is approximately $1.3 billion, which is reflected in current assets as a related party loan as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 based on the maturity date as of each balance sheet period. Interest income recognized by the Company totaled $3 million, $6 million, and $22 million for the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, respectively.
Stock Compensation Recharge Agreement
The Company entered into a stock compensation recharge agreement with Intel, which requires the Company to reimburse Intel for certain amounts relating to the value of share-based compensation provided to the Company’s employees for RSUs or stock options exercisable in Intel stock. The liability associated with the stock compensation recharge agreement that is reflected on the combined balance sheets, under related party payable was approximately $162 million and $0 million as of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively. As for the inclusion of the Company’s employees in Intel’s equity incentive plan, see Note 6.
Hedging services
Intel centrally hedges its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company entered into a hedging services agreement with Intel, to which, the Company is entitled to a certain allocation of the gains and losses arising from the execution of the hedging contracts.
Development Services and Lease
Intel entered into agreements with the Company to provide certain development services, including research, technical work on technology, products and solutions, construction and ancillary administrative services and use of space in Intel’s building in Israel. The Company paid for these services on a quarterly basis. These costs are included in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily on a specific and direct attribution basis, as described in Note 2.
 
F-28

 
Other services to a related party
The Company reimbursed its Chief Executive Officer for reasonable travel related expenses incurred while conducting business on behalf of the Company. For the years ended December 25, 2021, December 26, 2020, and December 28, 2019, travel related reimbursements were $1.1 million, $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
NOTE 9   BUSINESS COMBINATION
In May 2020, Moovit was acquired for total consideration of $915 million. An amount of $90 million was retained to be paid to Moovit’s former shareholders after 18 months in order to cover any potential indemnities that arise in the first 18 months post-acquisition. It was determined that the payment of all the deferred acquisition consideration to Moovit’s former stockholders was probable, and therefore, the total of $90 million was included in purchase consideration as a liability incurred to the sellers. This deferred acquisition consideration was fully paid to Moovit’s former shareholders in 2021. Total consideration includes the previously held ownership by Intel of 6% of Moovit originally acquired in 2018 and was contributed by Intel to the Company.
The fair value of goodwill and intangible assets recognized in connection with the Moovit acquisition was $604 million and $340 million, respectively. The intangible assets were comprised of $286 million of developed technology and $54 million of customer relationships and brands. The goodwill arising from the Moovit Acquisition is attributed to synergies and benefits that are expected to be generated from the collaboration between Mobileye and Moovit. Substantially all of the goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes in Israel. The acquisition-related developed technology is primarily related to Moovit’s monthly active user base and application platform. The acquisition related costs were not material to these combined financial statements.
Pro forma information has not been included for the Moovit Acquisition given the insignificant impact on the Company’s results of operation for the years ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019.
NOTE 10   GOODWILL
The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the years ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020. The balance attributed to Mobileye as of December 28, 2019 represents the goodwill arising from the Mobileye Acquisition as described in Note 1. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill for any of the periods presented.

NOTE 12   SEGMENT INFORMATION
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its CODM as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The Company’s organizational structure and management reporting supports two operating segments: Mobileye and Moovit. The CODM evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on the financial data of these operating segments. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue.
Mobileye is the Company’s only reportable operating segment and Moovit is presented within “Other” as per ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Segment performance (which is the operating income reported) excludes the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. The measure of assets has not been disclosed for each segment as it is not regularly reviewed by the CODM.
The accounting policies of the individual segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the combined financial statements.

MOBILEYE GROUP
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — GENERAL
Background
Mobileye Group is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. Mobileye Group combines the operations of Cyclops Holdings LLC, Mobileye B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Mobileye”), GG Acquisition Ltd. and the Moovit App Global Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Moovit”) and certain Intel employees mainly in research and development (the “Intel Aligned Groups”) (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, and “our”).
The Company operates as a combination of wholly-owned businesses of Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Parent”).
Mobileye operates as a component of Intel, which acquired a majority stake in Mobileye in August 2017 (the “Mobileye Acquisition”). The remaining issued and outstanding shares of Mobileye were acquired by Intel during 2018. The Company is building a robust portfolio of end-to-end ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to provide the capabilities required for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies.
Moovit, a leading urban mobility app and mobility-as-a-service (“MaaS”) solutions provider also operates as a component of Intel upon acquisition of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Moovit in May 2020 (the “Moovit Acquisition”). On May 31, 2022, we legally purchased from Intel 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities, for further detail, see note 6.
In December 2021, Intel announced plans to pursue an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Mobileye Group. In January 2022, Intel incorporated a new legal entity, Mobileye Global Inc., with the intent to contribute the Company to Mobileye Global Inc. and be able to offer newly issued shares of common stock of Mobileye Global Inc. in an IPO. Intel expects to retain majority ownership of the Company following the completion of the IPO.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual audited combined financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information.
The results of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2022 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending 2022. The condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.
The condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Intel and are presented as if the Company had been operating as a stand-alone company for all periods presented. The assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to the Company’s operations, including the acquired goodwill and intangible assets, have been reflected in these condensed combined financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of Intel.

MOBILEYE GROUP
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The Company utilized the Intel Aligned Groups mainly in research and development activities. The associated costs of the Intel Aligned Groups are reflected on a specific attribution basis in the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Intel Aligned Groups also participated in various Intel compensation and benefit plans. Portions of those plans’ costs were based on actual headcount and included in these condensed combined financial statements. These costs are not necessarily indicative of costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated on a stand-alone basis.
The condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) also include allocations of general corporate expenses from Intel. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable or allocated on the basis of headcount. Management of the Company and Parent considered the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented.
Mobileye largely continued to operate as a standalone operation and had not been fully integrated into Intel, with limited use of corporate overhead functions. The allocated costs for the periods presented in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) were not material. The allocations may not be reflective of the expenses that would have incurred had the Company operated as a stand-alone company for the periods presented. These costs also may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from a third party. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, the outsourcing of certain functions, and other strategic decisions.
As Mobileye Group was not historically held by a single legal entity, total parent net investment is shown in lieu of equity in the condensed combined financial statements and represents Intel’s total interest in the recorded net assets of Mobileye Group. All intercompany transactions within the combined businesses of the Company have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and Intel, arising from arrangements with Intel and other similar related-party transactions, were considered to be effectively settled in the condensed combined financial statements at the time the transactions were recorded, unless otherwise noted. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions was reflected within parent net investment as a component of equity in the condensed combined balance sheets and within net transfers from Parent as a financing activity in the condensed combined statements of cash flows, unless otherwise noted.
Net loss per share data has not been presented in the condensed combined financial statements because Mobileye Group did not operate as a separate legal entity with its own capital structure during the periods presented.
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, other than described below regarding deferred offering costs and income tax. For further detail, see note 2 in the audited combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs incurred that are directly related to the proposed IPO, are capitalized and recorded on the condensed combined balance sheet. These deferred costs will be reclassified to shareholders’ equity upon the consummation of the proposed public offering and recorded against the proceeds received. If the IPO is aborted, all the deferred offering costs will be expensed. The Company capitalized $14 million and zero of deferred offering costs within other long-term assets, in the condensed combined balance sheet as of July 2, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. Transaction costs which are not directly related to the proposed public offering are expensed as incurred within general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized $3 million of these costs as an expense in the six months ended July 2, 2022.

Fair value measurement
The Company measures its investments in short term deposits classified as cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. Due to the short maturity of these items, the carrying value is deemed to approximate to fair value. Short term deposits included in cash and cash equivalents were $683 million and $209 million as of July 2, 2022, and December 25, 2021, respectively.
The carrying amounts of the related party loan (assets), Dividend Note with related party, related party payable, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.
The Company also has goodwill and acquisition-related in-process research and development assets that are required to be recorded at fair value only if an impairment is recognized in the current year.
Research and development, net
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and consist primarily of personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies for research and development activities.
The Company occasionally enters into best-efforts nonrefundable, non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) arrangements pursuant to which the Company is reimbursed for a portion of the research and development expenses attributable to specific development programs. The Company does not receive any additional compensation or royalties upon completion of such projects and the potential customer does not commit to purchase the resulting product in the future. The participation reimbursement received by the Company does not depend on whether there are future benefits from the project. All intellectual property generated from these arrangements is exclusively owned by the Company.
Participations in expenses for research and development projects are recognized on the basis of the costs incurred and are netted against research and development expenses in the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Research and development reimbursements of $25 million and $22 million were offset against research and development costs in the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively.
Derivatives and hedging
Beginning in 2021, as part of Intel’s corporate hedging program, Intel is hedging forecasted cash flows denominated in Israel Shekels (“ILS”) related to the Company. ILS is the largest operating expense currency of the Company. Intel combines all of its ILS exposures, and as part of Intel’s hedging program enters into hedging contracts to hedge Intel’s combined ILS exposure. Derivative gains and losses attributed to these condensed combined financial statements are recorded under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Income Tax
The provision for income tax consists of income taxes in the various jurisdictions where the Company is subject to taxation, primarily the United States and Israel. For interim periods, the Company recognizes an income tax benefit (provision) based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, calculated on a worldwide consolidated basis, expected for the entire year. The Company applies this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income. The overall effective tax rate is influenced by valuation allowances on tax assets for which no benefit can be recognized due to the Company’s recent history of pretax losses sustained. Tax jurisdictions with forecasted pretax losses for the year for which no benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate, and any associated tax expense for those jurisdictions is recorded separately.
Certain legal entities of Mobileye file tax returns on a consolidated basis with our parent Intel Corporation. We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Intel Corporation that establishes the amount of cash we will pay to our parent for our share of the tax liability owed on these consolidated filings. The income tax provision included in these combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. This method can limit our ability to benefit losses that may have been used by Intel in the consolidated tax returns. To the extent the tax sharing agreement and the separate return method differ, an adjustment to our net parent investment balance is recorded.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts and events reported and disclosed in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors, including the current economic environment, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to recognition and useful lives of intangible assets, impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill, and income taxes.

Loss contingencies
Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed combined balance sheets, statement of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, which include short-term deposits, and trade accounts receivable.
The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in banks domiciled in the U.S., as well as in Israel. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand. Short term bank deposits, included in cash and cash equivalents, are held in the aforementioned banks. Accordingly, management believes that these bank deposits have minimal credit risk.
The Company’s accounts receivable are derived primarily from sales to Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive manufacturing industry located mainly in the U.S., Europe, and China. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables is mitigated by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation, and account monitoring procedures. Credit is granted based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 to 60 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and has not experienced any material losses in the periods presented. The Company establishes credit losses accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history from such customers, and the customers’ current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. As of July 2, 2022 and December 25, 2021, the credit losses in respect of accounts receivable, which are determined with respect to specific debts that are doubtful of collection and netted against accounts receivable, were not material. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible. For the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, the charge-offs and recoveries in relation to the credit losses accounts were not material.
Customer concentration risk
The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition for the foreseeable future will likely continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers. In the future, these customers may decide not to purchase the Company’s products, may purchase fewer products than in previous years, or may alter their purchasing patterns. Further, the amount of revenue attributable to any single customer or customer concentration generally may fluctuate in any given period. In addition, a decline in the production levels of one or more of the Company’s major customers, particularly with respect to vehicle models for which the Company is a significant supplier, could reduce revenue. The loss of one or more key customers, a reduction in sales to any key customer or the Company’s inability to attract new significant customers could negatively impact revenue and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. See Note 8 related to customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable for each of the periods presented in these condensed combined financial statements.
Dependence on a single supplier risk
The Company purchases all its System on Chip (“EyeQ® SoC”) from a single supplier. Any issues that occur and persist in connection with the manufacture, delivery, quality, or cost of the assembly and testing of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. See below regarding a shortage in EyeQ® SoC that the Company has been experiencing during 2021 and through the first half of 2022.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected significant portions of the Company’s business and could have a continued adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. There is a significant constraint in the global supply of semiconductors. The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the demand for consumer electronics and global semiconductor manufacturers allocated significant capacity to meet such demand. As global automakers resumed production in 2020 following shutdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, semiconductor supply became further strained, and these factors, combined with the long lead times associated with the Company, have contributed to a shortage of semiconductors.
During the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021 and through the first half of 2022, the Company’s sole supplier was not able to meet demand of the Company for the EyeQ® SoC, causing a significant reduction in the Company’s inventory levels. The Company expects that it will continue to experience a shortfall of EyeQ® SoC during the second half of 2022 which has caused certain delays and may continue to cause further delays in our ability to fulfil customers’ orders. Since the EyeQ® SoC is the core of the ADAS and AV products, continued shortages in the supply of sufficient EyeQ® SoC to meet production needs may impair the Company’s ability to meet its customers’ requirements in a timely manner and may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, to the extent that the global semiconductor shortage results in reduced production or production delays by automakers, those delays could result in reduced or delayed demand for the Company products. In addition, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays in the delivery of critical components, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Sustaining the Company’s production trajectory will require the readiness and solvency of its suppliers and vendors, a stable and motivated production workforce and ongoing government cooperation, including for travel and visa allowances, which many governments have restricted in connection with efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Accounting pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance, which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information around the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s condensed combined financial statements, and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. The new standard which can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, was adopted by the Company, and only impacts annual financial statement footnote disclosures. The impact of adoption of this standard is immaterial.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. ASU No. 2020-04 is effective and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company has completed its evaluation of significant contracts. The Company has adopted the ASU in these unaudited condensed combined financial statements. There was no material impact on these unaudited condensed combined financial statements. For further information, see note 6 regarding related party transactions.

b.   Dividends
On May 12, 2022, the Company declared and paid a dividend in an aggregate amount of $336 million to Intel, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations.
NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES
The Company’s quarterly benefit (provision) for income taxes and the estimates of its annual effective tax rate are subject to fluctuation due to several factors, principally including variability in overall pre-tax income and the mix of paying for certain components to which such income relates.
The income tax provision included in these condensed combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. This method can limit the Company’s ability to benefit from losses that may have been used by Intel in its consolidated tax returns. The Company has entered into a tax sharing agreement with Intel, which establishes the amount of cash payable to Intel for our share of the tax liability owed on a consolidated tax filing basis with Intel. To the extent the tax sharing agreement and the separate return method differ, and the liability to Intel is higher or lower than the amount that would have been payable if the Company had filed its own tax returns, an adjustment to the net parent investment balance is recorded within equity. The adjustment to the net parent investment for the six months ended July 2, 2022 was an aggregate decrease in net parent investment of $7 million because amounts payable under the tax sharing agreement in respect of the six-month period exceeded amounts calculated under the separate return method.
The tax expense for the six months ended July 2, 2022, was unfavorably impacted by an accrued withholding tax expense and valuation allowances for certain jurisdictions. A withholding tax expense of $14 million related to a dividend distribution between entities within the Mobileye Group (see note 4 b regarding a dividend distribution to Intel) was recorded in the six months ended July 2, 2022. As the Company has jurisdictions that have sustained recent losses based on the separate return method, a valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets for which no benefit can be currently realized. The Company also estimates cash taxes for these jurisdictions this year due to unfavorable timing adjustments based upon tax law.
NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into a series of related party arrangements with Intel. The arrangements were as follows:
Loan arrangements
The Company entered into a series of bilateral lending/borrowing arrangements with Intel. The purposes of the facilities are to enable bilateral cash movements between the parties. The arrangements are denominated in U.S dollars.
 
F-46

 
MOBILEYE GROUP
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
In 2017, Intel and the Company entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 1”) to make available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Arrangement 1 has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. In 2021, Arrangement 1 was amended to increase the capacity from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, and the maturity date was automatically renewed to December 2022.
In 2017, Intel and the Company entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 2”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. Arrangement 2 has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. In March 2022, Arrangement 2 was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to draw from $750 million to $1.0 billion and the maturity date was extended to March 2023.
In 2021, Intel and the Company entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 3” and, together with Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2, the “Bilateral Loan Arrangements”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. Arrangement 3 has a maturity date of July 2022 and has a mechanism for automatic renewal for additional periods of one year each. In March 2022, Arrangement 3 was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to draw from $100 million to $500 million. The interest rate is based on an applicable margin of 0.0% with an option for Intel to elect to increase or decrease the applicable margin on or after the first day of the 2022 fiscal year. If the election to increase the applicable margin is applied, the spread adjustment would be reflective of the difference between three-month LIBOR and the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
In March 2022 due to reference rate reform, Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2 were amended to change the interest rate from LIBOR based to SOFR based. The modification was accounted for as if it is not substantial in accordance with the expedient for ASC 470 and an updated effective interest rate was calculated to reflect the change in terms. There was no gain or loss recognized for the six months ended July 2, 2022.
The total outstanding balance under the Bilateral Loan Arrangements was approximately $901 million and $1.3 billion as of July 2, 2022 and December 25, 2021 respectively, and is reflected in current assets as a related party loan based on the maturity date as of each balance sheet period (accumulated interest is presented within other current assets). Interest income recognized by the Company totaled $4 million, and $2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively.
Stock Compensation Recharge Agreement
The Company entered into a stock compensation recharge agreement with Intel, which requires the Company to reimburse Intel for certain amounts relating to the value of share-based compensation provided to the Company’s employees for RSUs or stock options exercisable in Intel stock. The liability associated with the stock compensation recharge agreement that is reflected on the condensed combined balance sheets, under related party payable was approximately $24 million and $162 million as of July 2, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. As for the inclusion of the Company’s employees in Intel’s equity incentive plan, see Note 4.
Hedging services
Intel centrally hedges its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. At the beginning of 2021, the Company entered into a hedging services agreement with Intel, pursuant to which the Company is entitled to a certain allocation of the gains and obligated to a certain allocation of the losses arising from the execution of the hedging contracts.
Development Services and Lease
Intel entered into agreements with the Company to provide certain development services, including research, technical work on technology, products and solutions, construction and ancillary administrative

services and use of space in Intel’s building in Israel. The Company paid for these services on a quarterly basis. These costs are included in the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily on a specific and direct attribution basis.
Other services to a related party
The Company reimbursed its Chief Executive Officer for reasonable travel related expenses incurred while conducting business on behalf of the Company. Travel expenses totaled $0.3 million for both the six months ended July 2, 2022 and June 26, 2021.
Dividend Note
On April 21, 2022, Intel and Mobileye Group signed a loan agreement whereby Mobileye Group agreed to issue a promissory note to Intel in an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion (the “Dividend Note”). The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum, such interest to accrue quarterly. Prior to June 30, 2024, such interest will be paid by being automatically added to the outstanding principal amount of the loan and will thereafter be payable quarterly in cash in arrears and shall also be payable upon any prepayment, whether in whole or in part, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and upon maturity. Under the Dividend Note, Mobileye Group has the right, at its option, on any business day, to prepay the loan, including principal and any accrued interest thereon, in whole or in part without premium or penalty. In the six months ended July 2, 2022, accrued interest expense in respect of the Dividend Note was $9 million. The aggregate principal amount plus related accrued interest is presented as Dividend Note with related party.
Equity transaction in connection with the legal purchase of Moovit entities
On May 31, 2022, we entered into an agreement with Intel pursuant to which we legally purchased from Intel 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Moovit entities for an aggregate amount of $900 million that is payable in cash to Intel and presented within related party payable. Moovit’s operations are already reflected as part of the Mobileye Group in these condensed combined financial statements as further detailed in note 1 and therefore the transaction is treated within equity.

NOTE 8 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision- making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its CODM as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The Company’s organizational structure and management reporting supports two operating segments: Mobileye and Moovit. The CODM evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on the financial data of these operating segments. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue.
Mobileye is the Company’s only reportable operating segment and Moovit is presented within “Other” as per ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Segment performance (which is the operating income reported) excludes the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and IPO-related expenses that are not capitalized. The measure of assets has not been disclosed for each segment as it is not regularly reviewed by the CODM.
The accounting policies of the individual segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the audited combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.
The following are segment results for each period as follows:

Item 14.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the Registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification by the Registrant of members of its board of directors, members of committees of its board of directors and of other committees of the Registrant, and its executive officers, and allows the Registrant to provide indemnification for its other officers and its agents and employees, and those serving another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the Registrant, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
The Registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers which are in addition to the Registrant’s indemnification obligations under its certificate of incorporation. These indemnification agreements may require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and liabilities that may arise by reason of their status as directors and officers, subject to certain exceptions. These indemnification agreements may also require the Registrant to advance any expenses incurred by its directors and officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain and maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance.
 
II-1

 
The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
The proposed form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant by the underwriters against certain liabilities.
Item 15.   Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On January 21, 2022, in connection with the formation of Mobileye Global Inc., we sold 100 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to Intel Overseas Funding Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, at par value for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. We intend to effect a recapitalization in connection with the Reorganization.
Item 16.   Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
a.
Exhibits
The exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.
b.
Financial Statement Schedules
No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Item 17.   Undertakings.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this registration statement or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
