This Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment No. 8”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019 and further amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019, by Amendment No. 3 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on April 3, 2019, by Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on April 8, 2019, by Amendment No. 5 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on April 29, 2019, by Amendment No. 6 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on May 8, 2019 and by Amendment No. 7 to the Tender Offer Statement filed with the SEC on May 13, 2019 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), by Tesla, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tesla”), and Cambria Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tesla (the “Offeror”). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Offeror to exchange for each outstanding share of common stock of Maxwell Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Maxwell”), par value $0.10 per share (“Maxwell common stock” and such shares of Maxwell common stock, “Maxwell shares”), validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the offer, for a fraction of a share of Tesla common stock, par value $0.001 per share (which we refer to as “Tesla common stock” and such shares of Tesla common stock, “Tesla shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $4.75 by the volume weighted average of the daily volume weighted average of the trading price of one (1) share of Tesla common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the second trading day prior to the date of the expiration of the offer, subject to the minimum, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Tesla common stock, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. In the event that the Tesla common stock price is equal to or less than $245.90, the minimum will apply and each share of Maxwell common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the offer will be exchanged for 0.0193 of a share of Tesla common stock. The foregoing consideration, the “Offer Consideration,” and such offer, on the terms and subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in the prospectus/offer to exchange, dated February 20, 2019 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer”.

Tesla has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated February 20, 2019, relating to the offer and sale of shares of Tesla common stock to be issued to holders of shares of Maxwell common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, which is a part of the Registration Statement, and the Letter of Transmittal, which were filed as Exhibits (a)(4) and (a)(1)(A), respectively, to the Schedule TO. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information contained in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal, including any prospectus supplement or other supplement thereto related to the Offer hereafter filed with the SEC by Tesla or the Offeror, is hereby expressly incorporated into the Schedule TO by reference in response to Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in the Schedule TO. The Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 3, 2019, by and among Tesla, the Offeror and Maxwell, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (d)(1) to the Schedule TO, is incorporated into the Schedule TO by reference.

All information regarding the Offer as set forth in the Schedule TO, including all exhibits and annexes thereto that were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 8, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided for herein and to the extent amended and supplemented by the exhibits filed herewith. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 8 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 1 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the text set forth below in Item 4.

Item 4(a) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

“At 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2019, the Offer expired as scheduled and was not extended. The Offeror was advised by the depositary and exchange agent for the Offer that as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of approximately 36,764,342 shares of Maxwell Common Stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer, representing approximately 79% of the aggregate voting power of the Maxwell shares outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer. The number of shares of Maxwell Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer satisfied the minimum tender condition (as defined in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange). All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, all shares of Maxwell Common Stock that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn have been accepted by Tesla for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

Following the completion of the Offer, on May 16, 2019, Tesla completed the acquisition of Maxwell through a second-step merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tesla with and into Maxwell, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ Merger ”).

Following the Merger, all shares of Maxwell Common Stock ceased trading prior to the opening of the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) on May 16, 2019 and will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On May 16, 2019, Tesla issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(Q) hereto and incorporated by reference herein.”

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the text set forth above in Item 4.

The Exhibit Index incorporated by reference in Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended by the addition of Exhibit (a)(5)(Q) as set forth below:
