Intel Extends Cash Tender Offer for All Outstanding Shares of Mobileye


Intel (News - Alert) Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) today announced that Cyclops Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, has extended the offering period of its previously announced all cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Mobileye N.V. (NYSE: MBLY). The tender offer is being made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2017, by and among Intel, Cyclops and Mobileye (the "Purchase Agreement"). The tender offer is now scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 20, 2017, unless the tender offer is extended or earlier terminated, in either case pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer, has advised Cyclops that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017, the previously scheduled expiration time, 112,004,732 Mobileye ordinary shares (excluding Mobileye ordinary shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures), representing approximately 50.31 percent of the outstanding Mobileye ordinary shares, have been validly tendered pursuant to the tender offer and not properly withdrawn and an additional 17,270,830 Mobileye ordinary shares, representing approximately 7.76 percent of the outstanding Mobileye ordinary shares, have been tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. Mobileye shareholders who have already tendered their ordinary shares of Mobileye do not have to re-tender their shares or take any other action as a result of the extension of the expiration date of the tender offer.

Completion of the tender offer remains subject to additional conditions described in the tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed by Cyclops Holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC (News - Alert)") on April 5, 2017 (as amended and supplemented, the "Schedule TO"). Such conditions include the receipt of regulatory approvals in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and at least 95 percent of Mobileye's outstanding shares (as such threshold may be lowered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) being validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the tender offer (including any extensions). The tender offer will continue to be extended until all conditions are satisfied or waived, or until the tender offer is terminated, in either case pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and as described in the Schedule TO.
