OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR CASH All Outstanding Ordinary Shares of MOBILEYE N.V. at $63.54 per share by CYCLOPS HOLDINGS, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of INTEL CORPORATION THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON JUNE 21, 2017, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED OR EARLIER TERMINATED. Cyclops Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Intel"), is offering to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Mobileye N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of The Netherlands registered with the trade register in The Netherlands under file number 34158597 ("Mobileye"), at a purchase price of $63.54 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof, payable in cash (the "Offer Consideration"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" and, together with this Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer"). The Offer is being made pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2017 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Intel, Cyclops Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Intel ("Cyclops") and Mobileye. On April 4, 2017, Cyclops converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company (the "Conversion"). The Conversion has not adversely impacted, and will not adversely impact, in any respect Mobileye or any of its shareholders, or Mobileye's rights under the Purchase Agreement, and has not relieved, and will not relieve, Intel or Cyclops of its respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. All references to "Purchaser" in describing Purchaser's rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement refer to Cyclops prior to the Conversion, and to Purchaser following the Conversion. Unless the Offer is earlier terminated, the Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017 (the "Expiration Time," unless the Offer is extended in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, in which event "Expiration Time" will mean the latest time and date EFTA01430519 at which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire). Purchaser may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed in writing by Mobileye and Intel, and will extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable law, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or the rules of the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Purchaser will also extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive periods of 10 business days each if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any condition to the Offer has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of such condition, or 20 business days in case of the Antitrust Clearance Condition (as defined below) if such condition is not reasonably likely to be satisfied within such 10 business day extension period. Purchaser will not be required to extend the Offer for more than two occasions if the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the Minimum Condition (as defined below) and the Pre EFTA01430520 Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has been obtained or Intel determines in its reasonable judgment that the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling will not be received, and Purchaser is not required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date (as defined below). The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Purchaser will (and Intel will cause Purchaser to), (a) at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter), accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the "Acceptance Time") and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in any event within three business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn as of the Acceptance Time (such time of payment, the "Offer Closing"). It is expected that following the Offer Closing, the listing of the Shares on the NYSE will be terminated, Mobileye will no longer be a publicly traded company, and the Shares will be deregistered under the Exchange Act, resulting in the cessation of Mobileye's reporting obligations with respect to the Shares with the SEC. After careful consideration, the board of directors (bestuur) of Mobileye (the "Mobileye Board") has unanimously (other than the executive directors of Mobileye, Professor Amnon Shashua and Mr. Ziv Aviram, who abstained, due to potential conflicts of interest) (a) determined that the Purchase Agreement and certain of the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Mobileye, its business and its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, and (b) approved and adopted the Purchase Agreement and approved certain of the transactions contemplated thereby. The Mobileye Board recommends that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer. Furthermore, the Mobileye Board recommends that you vote "for" each of the items that contemplates a vote of Mobileye shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of Mobileye shareholders (the "EGM"), which will be combined with Mobileye's 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders, scheduled to be held on June 13, 2017, at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, Herengracht 542 — 556, 1017 CG Amsterdam, The Netherlands. At the EGM, Mobileye shareholders will be requested to vote on approval of (a) the transfer to and assumption of all or EFTA01430521 substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Mobileye by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the "Asset Sale") and the Liquidation (as defined below), including the appointment of a liquidator of Mobileye effective as of the time of the Liquidation (collectively, the "Pre- Wired Asset Sale Resolutions"), (b) certain amendments to Mobileye's articles of association to become effective after the Offer Closing, including the conversion of Mobileye from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or N.V.) to a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law (the "Conversion Resolutions"), (c) the appointment of directors designated by Purchaser to the Mobileye Board to replace certain current directors of Mobileye who will resign from the Mobileye Board effective as of the Offer Closing, and (d) other matters contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Following the Acceptance Time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will provide for a subsequent offering period of at least 10 business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act (the "Subsequent Offering Period"). In the event that prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser or one of its affiliates has elected to (a) exercise its right to purchase such number of newly issued ordinary shares of Mobileye so as to increase Purchaser's ownership by 15% of the total ownership of ordinary shares of Mobileye after giving effect to such purchase (the "Call Option") or (b) effectuate the Asset Sale, Purchaser will extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five business days (the "Minority Exit Offering Period"). Under no circumstance will interest be paid on the Offer Consideration paid pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer, the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), or any delay in making payment for Shares. As promptly as practicable following the closing of the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), Intel or Purchaser may effectuate or cause to be effectuated, at Intel's or Purchaser's election, a corporate reorganization of Mobileye and its subsidiaries (the "Post-Offer EFTA01430522 Reorganization"). The Post-Offer Reorganization will utilize processes available to Purchaser under Dutch law to ensure that (a) Purchaser becomes the owner of all of Mobileye's business operations from and after the consummation of the Post-Offer Reorganization and (b) any Mobileye shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) are offered or receive the same consideration for their Shares as those shareholders who tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the compulsory acquisition procedure (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered shares as provided by Dutch law (the "Compulsory Acquisition") is implemented, then Shares held by non-tendering Mobileye shareholders will be acquired in accordance with Section 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the Dutch Civil Code. In that circumstance, the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer)of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (GerechtshofAmsterdam) (the "Dutch Court") will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. In such event, while Intel and Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition for the non - tendered Shares to be equal to the Offer Consideration, the Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine the per Share price for the non-tendered Shares. Such price may be greater than, equal to or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price may potentially be increased by statutory interest ("Dutch Statutory Interest") accrued at the rate applicable in The Netherlands (currently two percent per annum). The period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would begin either (i) on the date on which the Offer Consideration became payable to Mobileye shareholders who tendered their Shares to Purchaser in the Offer (the "Offer Payment Date"), provided that Purchaser has acquired at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date or (ii) under certain circumstances, including when Purchaser has not acquired at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date, from the date when the Dutch Court renders a judgment allowing the claim for the Compulsory Acquisition against the non-tendering shareholders for all of their Mobileye Shares. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be the date Purchaser pays for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders. As a result of EFTA01430523 the Post-Offer Reorganization, Mobileye will either be liquidated or become wholly owned by Purchaser. Purchaser and Intel may effectuate or cause to be effectuated, at Purchaser's or Intel's election, the PostOffer Reorganization by one or more of a variety of actions, potentially including (a) subject to the receipt of the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) and the approval of the Pre- Wired Asset Sale Resolutions by Mobileye shareholders at the EGM, the Asset Sale and, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Asset Sale, completing the Post-Offer Reorganization by the Liquidation (as defined below) and the Second Step Distribution (as defined below) or (b) if permissible under applicable law, the Compulsory Acquisition. Under the Purchase Agreement, Mobileye (which is a tax resident of Israel) has agreed, as soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and in consultation with Intel and Purchaser, to prepare and file with the Israel Tax Authority (the "ITA") an application for a ruling or rulings in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Intel and Purchaser that (a) exempts Intel, Purchaser and Mobileye from Israeli tax with respect to the Asset Sale, the Second Step Distribution, and the Liquidation, taking into account all relevant related steps (including the possible conversion of Mobileye from a naamloze vennootschap or N.V. to a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V. following the Asset Sale) and (b) provides that the Asset Sale will not adversely affect the remaining duration or the extent of the incentives available to Mobileye and its subsidiaries resulting from the status of a "Preferred Enterprise" and/or "Benefitted Enterprise" under Israel's Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investment, 1959, or require any recapture of any previously claimed incentive, and that the entitlement of Mobileye or any of its subsidiaries to any such incentive shall be preserved despite the Asset Sale (clauses (a) and (b) together, the "Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling"). If the ITA issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and Mobileye shareholders have approved the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions and the Conversion Resolutions, and if Purchaser and Intel elect to proceed with the Asset Sale followed by the Liquidation and the Second Step Distribution, and if the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), together with the Shares then EFTA01430524 owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least 67% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) (or 80%, if the Mobileye shareholders have not approved the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions and the Conversion Resolutions), then the cash consideration paid by Purchaser to Mobileye in the Asset Sale would be an aggregate amount equal to the Offer Consideration multiplied by the total number of Shares held by non-tendering Mobileye shareholders as of the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period and, upon consummation of the Asset Sale, (a) Mobileye will hold only the cash received in the Asset Sale; (b) Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) would (i) own all of Mobileye's business operations and (ii) be the principal shareholder in Mobileye; and (c) the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders would continue to own Shares representing, in the aggregate, a minority of the Shares then outstanding. As soon as practicable following consummation of the Asset Sale, Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) would then complete the Post-Offer Reorganization by causing Mobileye to be liquidated in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures (the "Liquidation"), with Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) providing an indemnity or guarantee to the liquidator in respect of the Liquidation for any deficit in the estate of Mobileye to enable the liquidator to make an immediate advance distribution in cash (the "Second Step Distribution") to a depositary on behalf of each non-tendering Mobileye shareholder in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, for each Share then owned. If the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (including Shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period), together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents less than 100% but at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal), and Purchaser and Intel elect to have Purchaser commence the Compulsory Acquisition, Purchaser would then complete the Post-Offer Reorganization by commencing a statutory proceeding before the Dutch Court for the Compulsory Acquisition. While Intel and Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition to be equal to the Offer Consideration, the Dutch Court has sole discretion to determine the per Share price, which may be greater than, equal to, or less than the Offer Consideration (with such price potentially being increased by Dutch Statutory Interest). Upon execution (tenuitvoerlegging) of the Dutch Court's ruling in the Compulsory EFTA01430525 Acquisition, each non-tendering Mobileye shareholder will receive the Dutch Court-determined per Share price and Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Mobileye. The applicable withholding taxes (including Israeli dividend withholding taxes) and other taxes, if any, imposed on Mobileye shareholders who do not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) may be different from, and greater than, the taxes imposed upon such Mobileye shareholders had they tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer (including during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period). The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the absence of the termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled Expiration Time: (i) the Minimum Condition (as its threshold may be lowered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement); (ii) the Antitrust Clearance Condition; (iii) the Restraints Condition; (iv) the Governance Resolutions Condition; and (v) the Material Adverse Effect Condition, each as defined below. The "Minimum Condition" requires that there have been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn a number of Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to the Expiration Time) that, together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time, provided that this threshold (a) may be lowered by Intel, in its sole discretion, to a percentage not less than 80%, (b) will be lowered to 80% if the ITA issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling, and (c) will be lowered to 67% if (1) the ITA issues the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and (2) the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions and Conversion Resolutions are adopted at the EGM. The "Antitrust Clearance Condition" requires (a) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase EFTA01430526 Agreement under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (b) the receipt of all required consents or approvals under the Israel Restrictive Trade Practices Law, 5748-1988, as amended, and (c) the receipt of, or expiration of relevant waiting periods under, all required clearances or approvals under other applicable regulatory or antitrust laws, as agreed to by Purchaser, Intel, and Mobileye under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The "Restraints Condition" requires that there is not in effect any law, regulation, order, or injunction entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced, or issued by any court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting, rendering illegal, frustrating, or enjoining the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, other than the Call Option. The foregoing shall also not apply with respect to any form of Post-Offer Reorganization (other than the Compulsory Acquisition, or Mobileye's potential election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 to be classified as a partnership or as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes) to the extent that the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to the Expiration Time), together with the Shares then owned by Intel or its affiliates, represents at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) immediately prior to the Expiration Time. The "Governance Resolutions Condition" requires that, at the EGM or a subsequent EGM, Mobileye shareholders have adopted one or more resolutions effective upon the Offer Closing to appoint Purchaserdesignated directors, including two non-executive directors who are independent from Intel and Purchaser (if such independent non-executive directors are not already members of the Mobileye Board), to replace those members of the Mobileye Board who will resign from the Mobileye Board effective as of the Offer Closing. The "Material Adverse Effect Condition" requires that no fact, change, event, development, occurrence, or effect has occurred following the date of the Purchase Agreement that, individually or in the aggregate, would have or reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Offer is not subject to a financing condition but is subject to other conditions as described in this Offer to Purchase. See Section 15 —"Certain Conditions of the Offer."

You are urged to read carefully the Offer to Purchase, the Letter ofTransmittal, and other related materials in their entirety, which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, we collectively refer to as the "Offer." Purchaser has included cross-references in this summary term sheet to other sections ofthe Offer to Purchase where you will find more complete descriptions ofthe topics mentioned below. The information concerning Mobileye N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws ofThe Netherlands registered with the trade register in The Netherlands under file number 34158597 ("Mobileye"), contained herein and elsewhere in the Offer to Purchase has been provided to Purchaser (as defined below) by Mobileye or has been taken from or is based upon publicly available documents or records ofMobileye on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or other public sources at the time ofthe Offer and Purchaser has not independently verified the accuracy and completeness ofsuch information. Securities Sought Price Offered Per Share All outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share, of Mobileye (the "Shares"). $63.54 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof and payable in cash (the "Offer Consideration").

Purchaser Cyclops Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser"), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Intel"). Who is offering to buy my Shares? Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, is offering to purchase for cash all outstanding Shares. Purchaser is a Delaware limited liability company and Intel is a Delaware corporation. See the "Introduction" and Section 8 — "Certain Information Concerning Intel and Purchaser." Unless the context indicates otherwise, in this Offer to Purchase, we use the terms "Purchaser," "us," "we," and "our" to refer to Cyclops Holdings, LLC. We use the term "Intel" to EFTA01430532 refer to Intel Corporation and the term "Mobileye" to refer to Mobileye N.V. What are the classes and amounts of securities sought in the Offer? We are offering to purchase all outstanding Shares at a purchase price of $63.54 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof, in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. See the "Introduction" to this Offer to Purchase and Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer." EFTA01430533 Is there an agreement governing the Offer? Yes. Intel, Cyclops Holdings, Inc. ("Cyclops"), and Mobileye entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2017 (the "Purchase Agreement"). On April 4, 2017, Cyclops converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company (the "Conversion"). The Conversion has not adversely impacted, and will not adversely impact, in any respect Mobileye or any of its shareholders, or Mobileye's rights under the Purchase Agreement, and has not relieved, and will not relieve, Intel or Cyclops of its respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, for the terms and conditions of the Offer, and the corporate reorganization of Mobileye and its subsidiaries (the "Post-Offer Reorganization"). See Section 11 — "The Purchase Agreement; Other Agreements," Section 12 — "Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye," and Section 15 — "Certain Conditions of the Offer." Why are you making the Offer? We are making the Offer because we want to acquire the entire equity interest in Mobileye so that we will own and control all of Mobileye's current business. If the Offer is consummated, we intend to cause Mobileye to terminate the listing of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). As a result, Mobileye and its Shares would cease to be publicly traded. In addition, after the consummation of the Offer we intend to cause the termination of the registration of Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as promptly as practicable, and expect to take steps to cause the suspension of all of Mobileye's reporting obligations with the SEC. See Section 12 — "Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye" of this Offer to Purchase. How much are you offering to pay and what is the form of payment? Will I have to pay any fees or commissions? We are offering to pay $63.54 per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, to the holders thereof, payable in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. If you are the record owner of your Shares and you tender your Shares directly to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the "Depositary"), you will not have to pay brokerage fees, commissions, or similar expenses. If you own your Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee tenders your Shares on your behalf, your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or nominee may EFTA01430534 charge you a fee for doing so. You should consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or nominee to determine whether any charges will apply. See the "Introduction," Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer," and Section 2 "Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares." What does the Board of Directors of Mobileye think of the Offer? After careful consideration, the Board of Directors of Mobileye (the "Mobileye Board") has unanimously (other than the executive directors, Professor Amnon Shashua and Mr. Ziv Aviram, who abstained, due to potential conflicts of interest) (a) determined that the Purchase Agreement and certain of the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Mobileye, its business and strategy and its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders, and (b) approved the Purchase Agreement and the execution, delivery, and performance of Mobileye's obligations thereunder. EFTA01430535 The Mobileye Board recommends that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer. Furthermore, the Mobileye Board recommends that you vote "for" each of the items that contemplates a vote of Mobileye shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of Mobileye shareholders (the "EGM"), which will be combined with Mobileye's 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders, scheduled to be held on June 13, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, Herengracht 542 — 556, 1017 CG Amsterdam, The Netherlands. At the EGM, Mobileye shareholders will be requested to vote on approval of (a) the transfer to and assumption of all or substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Mobileye by Purchaser (or an affiliate of Purchaser) (the "Asset Sale") and the Liquidation (as defined below), including the appointment of a liquidator of Mobileye effective as of the time of the Liquidation (the "Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions"), (b) certain amendments to Mobileye's articles of association to become effective after the Offer Closing, including the conversion of Mobileye from a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap or N.V.)toa private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid or B.V.) under Dutch law (the "Conversion Resolutions"), (c) the appointment of directors designated by us to the Mobileye Board to replace certain current directors of Mobileye who will resign from the Mobileye Board effective as of the Offer Closing, and (d) other matters contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. A more complete description of the reasons that the Mobileye Board approved the Offer and recommended that Mobileye shareholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer is set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 of Mobileye that Mobileye is furnishing to shareholders in connection with the Offer (the "Schedule 14D-9"). Will you have the financial resources to make payment? Yes. We estimate that the total amount of funds required to purchase all outstanding Shares in the Offer and to consummate the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and to pay related transaction fees and expenses, will be approximately $15 billion. We anticipate funding such cash requirements from available cash and cash equivalents of Intel and its subsidiaries. The consummation of the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is not subject to any financing condition. See Section 9 — "Source and Amount of Funds." EFTA01430536 Is your financial condition relevant to my decision to tender my Shares pursuant to the Offer? No. We do not think our financial condition is relevant to your decision on whether to tender Shares and accept the Offer because: • The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares solely for cash. • We will have access to unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of our affiliates, further described in Section 9 — "Source and Amount of Funds," which we anticipate being sufficient to purchase all Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and to complete the Post-Offer Reorganization. • The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. • If we consummate the Offer and not all outstanding Shares are tendered pursuant to the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering Period, as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period (each as defined below), while we or Intel may elect to effectuate or cause to be effectuated the Post-Offer Reorganization by various mechanisms, we have no plans to offer any of our securities to effectuate the Post-Offer Reorganization. The steps we may take to effectuate the Post- Offer Reorganization include (but are not limited to) (a) acquiring all or substantially all assets and liabilities of Mobileye in the Asset Sale and, immediately following the consummation of the Asset Sale, dissolving and liquidating EFTA01430537 Mobileye in accordance with applicable Dutch procedures, such that a depositary on behalf of nontendering Mobileye shareholders will, immediately following the consummation of the Asset Sale, receive the Offer Consideration (without interest and less applicable withholding taxes) (the "Second Step Distribution") or (b) commencing a statutory proceeding before the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (GerechtshofAmsterdam) (the "Dutch Court") for the compulsory acquisition (uitkoopprocedure) of non-tendered shares as provided by Dutch law (the "Compulsory Acquisition"). If the Compulsory Acquisition is implemented, then the Dutch Court will determine the price to be paid for the non-tendered Shares. Although Intel and Purchaser will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the per Share price paid in the Compulsory Acquisition for the non-tendered Shares to be equal to the Offer Consideration, such price may be greater than, equal to, or less than the Offer Consideration. Such price may potentially be increased by statutory interest ("Dutch Statutory Interest") accrued at the rate applicable in The Netherlands (currently two percent per annum). The period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would begin either (i) on the date on which the Offer Consideration became payable to Mobileye shareholders who tendered their Shares to Purchaser in the Offer (the "Offer Payment Date"), provided that Purchaser has acquired at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date or (ii) under certain circumstances, including when Purchaser has not acquired at least 95% of Mobileye's issued capital (geplaatst kapitaal) as of the Offer Payment Date, from the date when the Dutch Court renders a judgment allowing the claim for the Compulsory Acquisition against the non-tendering shareholders for all of their Mobileye Shares. The end of the period for the calculation of the Dutch Statutory Interest would be the date we pay for the Shares then owned by the non-tendering Mobileye shareholders. See Section 12 — "Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Mobileye." How long do I have to decide whether to tender my Shares pursuant to the Offer? You will have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2017, unless we extend the Offer in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or the Offer is earlier terminated. Furthermore, if you cannot deliver everything that is required in order to make a valid tender in accordance EFTA01430538 with the terms of the Offer by that time, you may still participate in the Offer by using the guaranteed delivery procedure that is described in Section 3 — "Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares" of this Offer to Purchase prior to that time. The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, we will (and Intel will cause us to), (a) at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time (but in any event within two business days thereafter), accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the "Acceptance Time") and (b) at or as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time (but in any event within three business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d -1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) thereafter), pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn as of the Acceptance Time (such time of payment, the "Offer Closing"). See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer" and Section 3 —"Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares." Please give your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee instructions with sufficient time to permit such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee to tender your Shares in accordance with your instructions. Beneficial owners should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadline for participation in the Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in the Offer. iv EFTA01430539 Can the Offer be extended and under what circumstances? Yes, subject to Intel's rights to terminate the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms, we may extend the Offer to such other date and time as may be agreed in writing by Mobileye and Intel, and we have agreed in the Purchase Agreement that we will extend the Offer: • for the minimum period required by applicable law, the SEC or the rules of the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") or the NYSE; and • on one or more occasions in consecutive periods of 10 business days each, with such period to end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the last business day of such period (or such other duration as we, Intel and Mobileye may agree) if, at any then-scheduled Expiration Time, any condition to the Offer has not been satisfied or waived, in order to permit satisfaction of such condition; except that: • if we determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that at any thenscheduled Expiration Time the Antitrust Clearance Condition (as defined below) is not reasonably likely to be satisfied within such 10 business day extension period, then we will be permitted to extend the Offer on such occasion for up to 20 business days; • if the sole remaining unsatisfied condition to the Offer is the Minimum Condition (as defined below) and the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling (as defined below) has been obtained or Intel determines in its reasonable judgment that the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling will not be received, we will not be required to extend the Offer for more than two occasions in consecutive periods of 10 business days each (or such other duration as we, Intel and Mobileye may agree); and • we are not required to extend the Offer beyond March 12, 2018 (subject to automatic extension to June 10, 2018 and September 8, 2018, respectively, if, at each earlier such date, all conditions to the closing have been satisfied, other than the Antitrust Clearance Condition) (such date, including any automatic extension thereof, the "End Date"). If we extend the Offer, such extension will extend the time that you will have to tender (or withdraw) your Shares. See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer." How will I be notified if the Offer is extended? Any extension of the Offer will be followed by a public announcement of the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the day on which the Offer was otherwise scheduled to expire. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to EFTA01430540 make any public announcement, we currently intend to make announcements regarding the Offer by issuing a press release and making an appropriate filing with the SEC. See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer." Will there be a subsequent offering period? Yes, following the Acceptance Time, we are obligated by the Purchase Agreement to provide for a subsequent offering period of at least 10 business days in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (the "Subsequent Offering Period"). In the event that prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period, we or one of our affiliates elects to (a) exercise our right to purchase such number of newly issued ordinary shares of Mobileye so as to increase our ownership by 15% of the total ownership of ordinary shares of Mobileye after giving effect to such purchase (the "Call Option") or EFTA01430541 (b) effectuate the Asset Sale, we will extend the Subsequent Offering Period for at least five business days (the "Minority Exit Offering Period"). The purpose of the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) is to offer to acquire outstanding Shares that were not tendered pursuant to the Offer. See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer." What is the difference between an extension of the Offer and a Subsequent Offering Period? A Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) is not an extension of the Offer. A Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) occurs after we have accepted, and become obligated to pay for, all Shares that were validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn by the Expiration Time. No withdrawal rights will apply to Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) and no withdrawal rights apply during the Subsequent Offering Period (as it may be extended by the Minority Exit Offering Period) with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer and accepted for payment. See Section 1 — "Terms of the Offer." What are the most significant conditions to the Offer? The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (a) the absence of the termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and applicable law) of the following as of the scheduled Expiration Time: (i) the Minimum Condition (as its threshold may be lowered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement); (ii) the Antitrust Clearance Condition; (iii) the Restraints Condition; (iv) the Governance Resolutions Condition; and (v) the Material Adverse Effect Condition, each as defined below. The Offer also is subject to a number of other conditions to the Offer set forth in Section 15 — "Certain Conditions of the Offer" of this Offer to Purchase. The conditions to the Offer will be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights of us to extend, terminate or modify the Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, we expressly reserve the right at any time prior to the Expiration Time to waive, in whole or in part, any condition to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer. However, we will not, and Intel will cause us not to (without the prior written consent of Mobileye): (a) waive or change the Minimum Condition (except to the extent contemplated under the Purchase Agreement); (b) decrease the EFTA01430542 Offer Consideration; (c) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer; (d) decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer; (e) extend or otherwise change the Expiration
