This registration statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the offer, issuance and sale of an additional 1,014,520 ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary Shares’), of Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we” or “us”) issuable by the Registrant to its and/or its subsidiaries’ officers, employees, directors and consultants under the Innoviz Technologies Ltd. 2021 Share Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”).
On April 26, 2021, we filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-255511) registering 9,820,588 Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the Innoviz Technologies Ltd. 2016 Share Incentive Plan and 19,510,820 Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the 2021 Plan.
The 2021 Plan provides that the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on the first day of each calendar year of 2022 through 2031, to equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (B) such amount as determined by our board of directors if so determined prior to January 1 of a calendar year; provided, however, that no more than 14,000,000 shares in total may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options, or ISOs, under the 2021 Plan.
The purpose of this Registration Statement is for the Registrant to register an additional 1,014,520 Ordinary Shares issuable under the 2021 Plan effective as of January 1, 2022, representing the increase authorized by the board of directors of the Company.
Pursuant to Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of our prior registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333- 255511) are incorporated herein by reference, and the information required by Part II is omitted, except as supplemented by the information set forth below.

All documents that the Registrant subsequently files pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that indicates that all of the Ordinary Shares offered have been sold or that deregisters all of such shares then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such earlier statement.
