Overview of Mobileye

Mobileye was founded in Israel in 1999 by Professor Amnon Shashua, who is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer. In August 2017, Intel acquired a majority stake in Mobileye (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.

Mobileye IPO: stock offering

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.

The company will have two classes of common stock following the IPO: Class A and Class B. Class A common stock will have one vote per share and Class B common stock will have ten votes per share and will be convertible into Class A common stock under certain conditions. Intel will beneficially own all of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock after the IPO, giving it approximately 99.4% of the voting power of the company's common stock.

Below are the names, ages, and titles executive oficers and directors of Mobileye:

Competitive strengths

The company believes that its leadership in ADAS and autonomous driving is based on five significant advantages.

• Firstly, the company has a first-mover advantage, which gives it an edge over competitors.
• Secondly, the company has a technology advantage, with differentiated technological cores and solution architectures.
• Thirdly, the company has a comprehensive portfolio of solutions. Fourthly, the company has a delivery advantage, with agility, response times, and time-to-market.
• Lastly, the company has an inherent cost-driven advantage.

These advantages form the basis for the company's competitive strengths, which include the ability to compete favorably with respect to these factors.

Additionally, as the ADAS and autonomous driving markets progress, the company believes it will be in a favorable position to achieve meaningful business wins due to its differentiated capabilities.

Mobileye's growth strategy

The company's growth strategy is focused on rapidly scaling their offerings and leveraging their data and intelligence to differentiate themselves as a leader in the autonomous driving solutions space.

They are utilizing their substantial dataset to build and improve the practical implementation of robotic decision-making, which is referred to as “driving policy”, and are validating their safety solutions through continuous OTA enhancements.

The goal is to be able to drive autonomously in any environment in any condition at any time across urban, highway and arterial roads globally.

With a broad installed-base of REM™ connected vehicles that are collecting data and continually enhancing their solutions, the company believes they are well positioned to build on their leadership position.

They are also leveraging their data and intelligence to deliver benefits to their customers and to consumers through greater safety and expanded functionality.

The company believes that as the capabilities of their ADAS and autonomous driving solutions improve, consumer demand for their offerings will increase and lead to greater platform adoption, further accelerating their data collection worldwide.

ADAS and autonomous driving technology

The ADAS and autonomous driving industries are highly competitive and are expected to become even more competitive in the future.

Mobileye's success in this industry will depend on their ability to develop superior advanced technology to remain competitive with existing and new competitors. This technology must be cost-efficient, reliable, and able to comply with existing and future regulations.

Additionally, it must be able to gather or access large validation datasets in order to train the required software and to continuously harvest new data in real-time. Furthermore, it must be able to cost-effectively deploy hardware and integrate technologies and hardware with overall vehicle design and production. Finally, it must be able to develop and maintain strategic relationships with other participants in the automotive industry.

We believe that our leadership in ADAS and autonomous driving is based primarily on our first-mover advantage, technology, comprehensive portfolio of solutions, delivery, and inherent cost-driven advantages.

These advantages give us a competitive edge in the industry, allowing us to remain competitive with existing and new competitors. However, there are also risks associated with this technology, such as the potential for increased competition, the need to continuously update and improve the technology, and the potential for regulatory changes that could affect the industry.

Additionally, there are opportunities for growth, such as the potential for increased demand for autonomous vehicles, the potential for increased collaboration between industry participants, and the potential for increased investment in the industry.

Roadmap

The company's roadmap to enable mass AV deployment is based on a "scale by design" approach. This approach leverages their REMTM mapping technology, True Redundancy™ approach, RSS and driving policy, and active sensor architecture based on imaging radars. This roadmap is designed to enable autonomous driving solutions at scale, with the goal of mass-deployment.

The company expects to add additional cities to their AMaaS offerings to showcase their industry-leading technology and to help accelerate the pace of AV adoption. They also plan to continue to invest in their ecosystem partnerships with OEMs and fleet operators in order to foster close collaboration and further commercialize their autonomous technologies.

The company believes that their technology and business solutions can address the AV market in an end-to-end manner, and that their roadmap will help to unlock the full potential of this market.

They anticipate that both the AMaaS vehicles and consumer AVs will deploy in parallel to achieve their goals. The company estimates that their roadmap will enable them to reduce the cost of AV technology, scale geographically at a low cost, and create a regulatory framework and public acceptance that will enable a mass market product offering of consumer AVs.
