Intel Completes Subsequent Offering Period of Tender Offer for Mobileye
Mobileye Files to Delist from the NYSE
SANTA CLARA, Calif., and JERUSALEM, August 22, 2017 – Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) and Mobileye N.V. (NYSE: MBLY) today announced the expiration of the subsequent offering period of Intel’s previously announced tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Mobileye.
The subsequent offering period expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2017. Based on information provided by the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer, a total of 216,757,856 Mobileye ordinary shares (including Mobileye ordinary shares tendered during the initial offering period), representing approximately 97.3% of the outstanding Mobileye ordinary shares, had been validly tendered and had not been validly withdrawn as of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2017. Intel immediately accepted for payment and has promptly paid (or will promptly pay) for all ordinary shares that were validly tendered during the subsequent offering period in the same form and amount as the offer consideration paid in the initial offering period.
On August 21, 2017, Mobileye filed a Form 25, Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to notify the SEC of the delisting of Mobileye’s ordinary shares from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Delisting from the NYSE is expected to become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25 on August 31, 2017. Following delisting from the NYSE, Mobileye ordinary shares will not be listed or registered on another national securities exchange. Delisting is likely to reduce significantly the liquidity and marketability of any Mobileye ordinary shares that have not been tendered pursuant to the tender offer. Mobileye also intends to deregister its ordinary shares under the Exchange Act and to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act upon satisfaction of the applicable requirements for deregistration.
Intel plans to initiate a statutory proceeding before the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (Gerechtshof Amsterdam) for the compulsory acquisition (uitkoopprocedure) ofnon-tendered shares as provided by Dutch law in accordance with Section 2:92a or Section 2:201a of the Dutch Civil Code. In such a proceeding, the Enterprise Chamber will determine a cash price to be paid for such shares (which may be greater, equal to or less than the offer consideration), which Intel will request be equal to the offer consideration.
