Mobileye Announces Expiration of HSR Waiting Period

JERUSALEM, June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: MBLY) – Mobileye N.V. ("Mobileye" or the "Company"), the global leader in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and autonomous driving technologies, today announced that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, has expired with respect to the proposed acquisition of Mobileye by Intel.  The expiration of the Act's waiting period satisfies a transaction closing condition related to the previously announced all cash 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") 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may be lowered pursuant to the purchase agreement by and between Intel and Mobileye) being validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the tender offer (including any extensions).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 by and between Intel and Mobileye and as described in the Schedule TO.
