Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. (“Eye-Net”), has signed a five-year commercial cooperation agreement with Pango Pay & Go Ltd. (“Pango”). Pango is the developer of the leading mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) parking, vehicle, road services and payment application in Israel. Over the last several years, the Pango app has become synonymous with driver and vehicle solutions. The Pango app is one of the most widespread Israeli applications in terms of the number of downloads and frequency of use.
Pursuant to the agreement, the parties will cooperate to integrate Eye-Net™ Protect products into Pango’s app as a software development kit (SDK). The integration will enable Pango app users who completed the onboarding process, to use the service operated by Eye-Net through the app, which is intended to provide a layer of protection to Pango’s users, potentially preventing accidents by alerting drivers and road users about oncoming collisions. The potential large-scale deployment of Eye-Net™ Protect into Pango’s app may allow the integrated solution to protect the lives of millions of users in Israel.
As part of the agreement, Pango will serve as Eye-Net’s distributor in Israel and as the Israel Community Manager of Eye-Net Products. In its role as Israel Community Manager, Pango will lead Eye-Net’s business development efforts in the Israeli market and will introduce the company to its commercial partners in Israel and will be entitled to a portion of the proceeds derived from the sale of Eye-Net products in Israel. In addition, Pango will be entitled to 50% of third-party revenues received by Eye-Net for services provided in Israel. Moreover, Pango will be granted options to purchase 2,500 ordinary shares, 0.01 par value per share of Eye-Net, constituting, if exercised in full, 2.22% of Eye-Net's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis at an exercise price which reflects a $40 million company valuation.
Upon the successful integration of Eye-Net™ Protect into Pango’s app, Pango will release an updated version of its app, which will include the integrated Eye-Net SDK, to its millions of users in Israel. The updated app will also be available for download on all relevant application stores. The new integrated solution will include the free-of-charge Eye-Net Protect feature and a potential shared revenue stream derived from offering the premium Eye-Net Protect Plus feature for a monthly subscription fee. Pango will collect the monthly fee from the end user on behalf of Eye-Net and will receive 50% of the aggregate price per user.
”As the leading smart mobility app in Israel, we are excited to enter into a commercial agreement with Eye-Net that will allow us to offer an innovative solution to more than 3 million Pango users and potentially help make Israel’s roads safer,” said Roy Elbaz, CEO of Pango.
“During the past year, Eye-Net has focused on commercializing the Eye-Net Protect family of products in order to prove its outstanding potential in reducing the number of injuries and fatalities in road accidents. Collaborating with a strong partner like Pango will enable us to reach a critical mass of users, and we are grateful to have them as a partner in this endeavor,” said Dror Elbaz, COO and deputy CEO of Eye-Net Mobile. “This partnership will allow us to change the road safety paradigm in Israel, as we offer a comprehensive solution to protect not only drivers but also the most vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians, using widely available cellular communication technologies. I believe that together we will set the mark on a new road safety model.”
