 EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On September 14, 2026, Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (“Valens” or the “Company”) entered into a license agreement (the “Agreement”) with Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (“Onsemi”), a leading U.S.-based global semiconductor manufacturer specializing in intelligent power and sensing solutions for the automotive, industrial, and AI data center markets. Under the Agreement, Valens grants Onsemi a non-exclusive license under Valens’ intellectual property rights to make and sell a specific next-generation integrated image sensor product incorporating Valens’ MIPI A-PHY connectivity technology in exchange for certain royalty payments.  The Agreement can be terminated after ten years for convenience upon 180 days' prior written notice (or earlier upon material breach). Upon termination, the license survives with respect to products already on Onsemi’s product roadmap or commercialized prior to termination, subject to continued royalty payments to Valens.
