Intel plans to offer 35 million shares of Class A common stock worth of approximately $1.5 billion stake, in Mobileye Global.
As a result of the offering, Intel’s voting share in the self-driving technology company will decrease to around 98.7 percent from its current 99.3 percent.
Following the news, Mobileye’s shares, based in Jerusalem, Israel, experienced a decline of over 4 percent in extended trading, reaching $40.55.
