The Company accounted for the down payment of €3 million related to those agreements as deferred revenue because all fees due in connection with the provision of the application engineering services, including such down payment, are subject to customer acceptance. The down payment is included in the deferred revenue disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Deferred Revenue” on page F-14 of the Amended Registration Statement: “As of December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $1.3 million, $3.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.” ********* Any comments or questions regarding the foregoing should be directed to the undersigned at +1.713.546.7420.

Response: The Company has revised the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see pages 7 and 91 of the Amended Registration Statement. Business Combination and Public Company Costs, page 150 13. We note your disclosure that the merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Innoviz has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. Please provide us with a comprehensive analysis of the factors considered, pursuant to ASC 805-10-55-11 through 55-15, to support your accounting conclusion under both a no redemption and maximum redemption scenario. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has considered the provisions of ASC 805 in making the statements that the transaction is intended to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP and that the Company believes the Company will be the accounting acquirer under both a no redemption and a maximum redemption scenario. ASC Topic 805 specifies that the guidance in ASC Subtopic 810-10 should be used to determine the acquirer (i.e., the entity that obtains control), and if applying that guidance does not clearly indicate which of the combining entities is the acquirer, the factors in paragraphs 805-10-55-11 through 805-10-55-15 should be considered in making the determination. Under ASC 805, control is defined as a controlling financial interest within the meaning of ASC 810-10-15-8. ASC 810-10-15-8 provides that the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule, ownership by one entity, directly or indirectly, of over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition indicating control and, in a business combination, the identity of the accounting acquirer. The Company estimates that under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios, the existing Company shareholders will collectively hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting interests of the post-combination company. February 12, 2021 Page 5 As reflected in the table below, which represents the pro forma ownership subsequent to the transaction, the existing Company shareholders’ ownership of outstanding common shares will range from 67% to 77% depending on if the existing Collective Growth Corporation (“Collective Growth”) unitholders elect to redeem 0% or 100% of their shares of Class A common stock of Collective Growth (the “Common Stock”), respectively: Assuming No Redemption Assuming Maximum Redemption(1) Shares % Shares % Total Innoviz Technologies Collective Growth 17,137,500 13 % 3,118,361 2 % Existing Innoviz Technologies Shareholders 87,547,107 65 % 87,547,107 75 % Company Management Shares 2,500,000 2 % 2,500,000 2 % Antara 10,125,000 8 % 8,041,500 7 % PIPE Shares(2) 16,000,000 12 % 16,000,000 14 % Total Company Ordinary Shares Outstanding at Closing (excluding earnout shares) 133,309,607 100 % 117,206,968 100 % Company Management Earn Out Shares 1,250,000 1,250,000 Antara Earnout Shares 325,000 325,000 Perception Earnout Shares 2,175,000 2,175,000 Total Company Ordinary Shares Outstanding at Closing (including earn out shares) 137,059,607 120,956,968 Although the Company would obtain a controlling financial interest under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios, the Company also considered the factors in paragraphs 805-10-55-11 through 805-10-55-15 in determining of the accounting acquirer. ASC 805 does not provide a hierarchy to explain how to assess factors that influence the identification of an accounting acquirer in a business combination, effectively concluding that no single criterion is more significant than any other. As a result, the Company considered the following factors holistically in determining that, under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios, the Company is the accounting acquirer: 805-10-55-11: In a business combination effected primarily by transferring cash or other assets or by incurring liabilities, the acquirer usually is the entity that transfers the cash or other assets or incurs the liabilities. Both Scenarios ASC 805-10-55-11 provides that in a business combination effected primarily by transferring cash or other assets or by incurring liabilities, the acquirer usually is the entity that transfers the cash or other assets or incurs the liabilities. Similarly, ASC 805-10-55-12 provides that in a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”), under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios, the transaction will be effected primarily by exchanging equity interests. Under the Agreement, the Company will be the entity that issues it equity interests. The Company believes this factor is not applicable in both scenarios. The transaction will be effected by exchanging equity interests, and therefore, the other pertinent factors and circumstances identified in ASC 805-10-55-12(a)-(d) are also considered in determining the accounting acquirer. February 12, 2021 Page 6 ASC 805-10-55-12: In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. However, in some business combinations, commonly called reverse acquisitions, the issuing entity is the acquiree. Subtopic 805-40 provides guidance on accounting for reverse acquisitions. Other pertinent facts and circumstances also shall be considered in identifying the acquirer in a business combination effected by exchanging equity interests, including the following: (a) The relative voting rights in the combined entity after the business combination. The acquirer usually is the combining entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity. In determining which group of owners retains or receives the largest portion of the voting rights, an entity shall consider the existence of any unusual or special voting arrangements and options, warrants, or convertible securities. The Company began its analysis by considering the relative voting rights of the former Collective Growth stockholders and the former Company shareholders in the post-combination company immediately after the consummation of the transaction. No Redemption Scenario: The Company expects that the former Collective Growth stockholders will hold approximately 13% of the voting rights of the post-combination company and that the former Company shareholders will hold approximately 67% of the voting rights of the post-combination company. Maximum Redemption Scenario: The Company expects that the former Collective Growth stockholders will hold approximately 2% of the voting rights of the post-combination company and that the former Company shareholders will hold approximately 77% of the voting rights of the post-combination company. The Company believes this factor strongly points toward the Company being the accounting acquirer. (b) The existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting interest. The acquirer usually is the combining entity whose single owner or organized group of owners holds the la
