| Letter from Your Board Chair | ![intc-20230327_g3.jpg](intc-20230327_g3.jpg) |

**Dear Stockholder,**

"This is a challenging time as we simultaneously navigate the need for substantial acceleration in the pace of our process and product innovation, alongside an industrywide downdraft in customer demand. The company is making measurable progress, but we still have plenty of work to do. We are keenly focused on value creation and have the right strategy, leadership team, and board oversight to continue increasing the pace of our multiyear transformation."

![intc-20230327_g4.jpg](intc-20230327_g4.jpg)<br>

It was my honor to step into the role of independent chair of the board in January. I look forward to continuing to work closely with my fellow board members, CEO Pat Gelsinger, and the senior management team to carry out our board's commitment to providing effective oversight of your company and delivering stockholder value.

We navigated a challenging environment in 2022 – one that was impacted by a slowdown in demand, increasingly complex geopolitics, an unsettled macroeconomic environment, and our own execution challenges. We are not satisfied with our results, and the board and leadership team are focused on taking the aggressive steps necessary to deliver against our commitments, appropriately manage our capital, and continue to advance our strategy. We are especially focused on striking the right balance between taking the actions needed to deliver on the long-term strategy and managing to near-term realities.

Despite our challenges, I am encouraged by the Intel team's dedication and progress as we work to deliver the process technology leadership, world-class products, at-scale manufacturing and cost competitiveness that are central to our strategy. We are clear-eyed about our 2022 results and the hurdles in front of us. We will be disciplined as we execute our turnaround plan. This includes a rigorous focus on reducing costs, driving efficiencies, and managing capital as we move into the next phase of IDM 2.0.

**Investing with Discipline to Ensure Long-Term Value Creation**

To drive our strategy forward, it is imperative that we make the right investments for the future of our company. In 2022, we took decisive actions to position Intel for long-term value creation:

▪ Focusing on the optimal pace of capital allocation to balance near-term capacity reduction while investing to regain long-term technology leadership.

▪ Continuing to actively manage our portfolio to unlock additional avenues to create value for our stockholders, such as the initial public offering of our Mobileye business completed in October 2022.

▪ Aggressive steps across the organization to improve Intel's cost structure and competitiveness. This includes right-sizing the organization where needed.

▪ Implementing a new internal foundry model. This is a significant evolution for the company that will advance our ability to serve our customers as an external foundry, highlight and drive the elimination of legacy costs, and provide more transparency on our financial execution.

▪ Leveraging our Smart Capital approach to capital allocation, including creation of the Semiconductor Co-Investment Program (SCIP).

▪ Resetting our dividend policy in early 2023 to support the investments critical to drive our transformation. This was not a decision we made lightly, and we remain committed to maintaining a competitive dividend.

**Strengthening Our Board Oversight and Leadership Team**

Having the right leadership team in place is critical to our transformation. It is essential that the company succeeds in driving a significant cultural and operational evolution throughout the organization, with an emphasis on listening to our customers, delivering against commitments, innovation and value creation. At the board level, we are focused on supporting this evolution and ensuring we have strong governance and the right mix of skills, experiences, and backgrounds to provide rigorous and independent oversight of Intel's strategy, performance, and culture.

As an example of this focus, we welcomed two highly qualified new directors to our board last year. Barbara G. Novick, a co-founder of BlackRock, and Lip-Bu Tan, former CEO of Cadence Design Systems, bring to our board extensive leadership experience and expertise. Our board also refreshed the composition of key committees, with several committee membership rotations and assignments that are detailed in this proxy statement.

Under Pat's leadership, the company meaningfully strengthened our executive management team in 2022 with the appointment of David Zinsner (CFO), Michelle Johnston Holthaus (GM – CCG), Christoph Schell (Chief Commercial Officer), and April Miller Boise (Chief Legal Officer).

**Commitment to Stockholder Engagement and Responsiveness**

We remain deeply committed to engaging with our stockholders to garner input from our owners concerning our strategy, capital allocation, compensation, sustainability, and governance practices. In 2022, members of our board and leadership team met with stockholders representing approximately 75% of Intel's outstanding institutional shares. Our board chair and compensation committee chair personally engaged with over 40% of Intel's institutionally held shares.

We heard clearly from our stockholders that they were concerned about our approach to executive compensation. In response, the compensation committee made several significant changes to our compensation programs in November 2022, resulting in further alignment of pay with long-term stockholder value creation.

The board and I sincerely appreciate our stockholders' constructive feedback, and we look forward to continued engagement over the coming year. On behalf of the entire board, thank you for continuing to invest in Intel and for trusting our board and leadership team as we navigate this critical phase of Intel's transformation and work to create long-term value for our stockholders.

Sincerely,

![intc-20230327_g6.jpg](intc-20230327_g6.jpg)

**A Year in Review†**

2022 revenue was $63.1 billion, down $16.0 billion, or 20%, from 2021 as Client Computing Group operating segment (CCG) revenue decreased 23%, Data Center and AI operating segment (DCAI) revenue decreased 15%, and Networking and Edge operating segment (NEX) revenue increased 11%. 2022 results were impacted by an uncertain macroeconomic environment—with slowing consumer demand, persistent inflation, and higher interest rates—that we believe impacts our target markets and creates a high level of uncertainty with our customers. CCG revenue was down on lower notebook and desktop volume in the consumer and education market segments, while notebook and desktop average selling prices (ASPs) were higher due to a resulting change in product mix. DCAI server volume decreased, led by enterprise customers, and due to customers tempering purchases to reduce existing inventories in a softening data center market. Server ASPs decreased due to customer and product mix. NEX revenue increased primarily due to Ethernet ASPs and increased demand for 5G products, partially offset by lower demand for the part of the Intel® Xeon® processor family designed for network and edge solutions (Network Xeon). We invested $17.5 billion in R&D, made capital investments of $24.8 billion, and generated $15.4 billion in cash from operations and $(4.1) billion of adjusted free cash flow.<br>

**Business Overview†**

**Managing to our long-term financial model**

Our 2022 results were impacted by an uncertain macroeconomic environment arising from inflation, the war in Ukraine, and COVID-19 shutdowns in our supply chain in China, and though we expect this uncertainty and a challenging market environment to extend well into 2023, we remain committed to the strategy and long-term financial model communicated at our Investor Meeting 2022 as included in our Form 8-K dated February 17, 2022. To achieve our long-term financial model, we believe it is imperative that we drive to world-class product cost and operational efficiency. In the short term, we intend to continue to implement certain cost-cutting measures and improve our product execution. We further expect to manage to the investment phase operating expenses and net capital intensity guardrails established at our Investor Meeting 2022 and to drive back to a gross margin range of 51% to 53%, once economic conditions improve and revenue growth returns. Longer term, we plan to execute multiple initiatives designed to optimize the business, thus creating efficiencies and continued structural cost savings. This includes implementing an internal foundry model, making portfolio cuts, right sizing our support organizations, creating more stringent cost controls across our spending, and improving sales and marketing efficiency. Though we aggressively adjusted capital investments in 2022 to respond to changing business conditions, we still made significant investments in support of our IDM 2.0 strategy during the year. We expect our capital expenditures will continue to be higher than historical levels for the next several years as we execute towards our goal of delivering five technology nodes in four years. We also introduced our IDM 2.0 Acceleration Office to transition our operations to an internal foundry model that is designed to deliver consistent processes, systems, and guardrails among our business units, and design and manufacturing teams, which we expect will allow us to improve structural efficiencies by driving accountability and costs back to decision makers within the company.

**Delivering leadership products**

We seek to develop and offer leading products that will help enable a future in which every human can have more computing power and quicker access to data. We remain committed to our goal of delivering five technology nodes in four years. This year, we achieved several key milestones on our product roadmap, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ We launched the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ HX processors—the final products in our Alder Lake family, which utilize desktop-caliber silicon in a mobile package to deliver high levels of performance for professional workflows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ We introduced the Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series for the intelligent visual cloud and revealed the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor family with six new unlocked desktop processors for leading gaming, streaming, and recording experiences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ We launched the newest Intel® Xeon® D processors and Intel® Arc™ A-series GPUs (also known as Alchemist), and began shipping Mount Evans, a 200G ASIC IPU, as well as the first Intel® Blockscale™ ASIC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ We began high-volume manufacturing of Sapphire Rapids, Raptor Lake, and Ponte Vecchio in 2022, with shipments beginning in Q4 2022.

**Investing in at-scale manufacturing**

To help accelerate our IDM 2.0 strategy, we are investing in manufacturing capacity around the world. We broke ground on two new leading-edge chip factories in Ohio, initially announcing plans to invest more than $20.0 billion to establish the first advanced semiconductor campus in the "Silicon Heartland." We also announced our plans to invest up to €80.0 billion in the European Union over the next decade across the semiconductor value chain—from R&D to manufacturing to state-of-the-art packaging technologies. These include a plan to invest up to an initial €17.0 billion to build a leading-edge semiconductor fab mega-site in Germany; to create a new R&D and design hub in France; and to invest in R&D, manufacturing, and foundry services in Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Spain.

To create further financial flexibility while we accelerate our strategy, we announced the Semiconductor Co-Investment Program (SCIP), a program that introduces a new funding model to the capital-intensive semiconductor industry. As part of this program, we closed a definitive agreement with Brookfield Asset Management (Brookfield), creating an equity partnership whereby we and Brookfield own 51% and 49%, respectively, of the newly formed entity, Arizona Fab LLC (Arizona Fab). We expect Arizona Fab will invest up to $30.0 billion in expanded manufacturing infrastructure at our Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona.

We also look to acquisitions to supplement and strengthen our capital. In Q1 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Tower) in a cash-for-stock transaction. Tower is a leading foundry for analog semiconductor solutions. The acquisition is expected to advance our IDM 2.0 strategy by accelerating our global end-to-end foundry business. While we continue to work to close within the first quarter of 2023, the transaction may close in the first half of 2023, subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.<sup>1</sup>

**Strengthening focus on the core business**

We reorganized our business units in a way that is designed to accelerate the execution and innovation of our company by allowing us to capture long-term growth in both large traditional markets and high-growth emerging markets, while providing increased transparency, focus, and accountability.

We announced the implementation of cost-cutting measures, including a slower pace of hiring and restructuring actions, designed to reduce operating expenditures and manage the business toward our long-term financial strategy.

We completed the IPO of Mobileye Global Inc. (Mobileye), building on Mobileye's revenue growth and record of innovation and unlocking value for Intel stockholders.

**Committing to positive global impact**

In April 2022, we announced our commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our global operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2040 and to increase the energy efficiency and lower the carbon footprint of our products and platforms.

**Our Strategy†**

The entire world is becoming digital as technology is increasingly central to every aspect of human existence. As we look ahead to the next decade, we expect to see continued movement to digital for everything—the way we work, learn, connect, develop, and operate. Semiconductors are the underlying technology powering the digitization of everything, and this is being accelerated by five superpowers: ubiquitous compute, pervasive connectivity, cloud-to-edge infrastructure, AI, and sensing. Together these superpowers combine to amplify, and reinforce each other, and will exponentially increase the world's need for computing by packing even more processing capability onto ever-smaller microchips. We intend to lead the industry by harnessing these superpowers for our customers' growth and our own.

We are uniquely positioned with the depth and breadth of our software, silicon and platforms, and packaging and process technology with at-scale manufacturing. With these strengths and the tailwinds of the superpowers driving digital disruption, our strategy to win is focused on four key themes: product leadership, open platforms, manufacturing at scale, and our people.

**Our Priorities**

We take a disciplined approach to our financial capital allocation strategy, which continues to focus on building stockholder value and is driven by our priority to invest in the business and capacity and our capital needs. We also seek to pay competitive dividends and, from time-to-time, engage in mergers and acquisitions with a focus on adjacencies and complementary technology. As we invest in our IDM 2.0 strategy and implement our next phase of capacity expansions and the acceleration of our process technology roadmap, our allocation priorities have shifted more heavily toward investing in the business and away from stock repurchases. In the long term, we will continue to look for opportunities to further our strategy through acquisitions while remaining disciplined on capital allocation.

R&D investment is critical to enable us to deliver on our accelerated process technology roadmap, introduce leading products, and develop new businesses and capabilities in the future. We seek to protect our R&D efforts through our IP rights and may augment R&D initiatives by acquiring or investing in companies, entering into R&D agreements, and directly purchasing or licensing technology. We own and develop significant IP and related IP rights around the world that support our products, services, R&D, and other activities and assets.

We have intensified our focus on areas key to product leadership: process and packaging, xPU architecture, and software. Our objective with each new generation of products is to improve user experiences and value through advances in performance, power, cost, connectivity, security, form factor, and other features. We also focus on reducing our design complexity, re-using IP, and increasing ecosystem collaboration to improve our efficiency.

As the guardians of Moore's Law, we continuously innovate to advance the design and manufacturing of semiconductors to help address our customers' greatest challenges. This makes possible new leadership products with higher performance while balancing power efficiency, cost, and size.

Our IDM 2.0 strategy allows us to deliver leadership products using internal and external capacity while leveraging our core strengths to provide foundry services to others. IDM 2.0 combines three capabilities. First, we will continue to build most of our products in Intel fabs. Second, we expect to expand our use of third-party foundry capacity to manufacture a range of modular tiles on advanced process technologies. Third, we are building a world-class foundry business with IFS, which we expect will combine leading-edge packaging and process technology, committed capacity in the US and Europe, and a world-class IP portfolio that will include x86 cores, as well as other ecosystem IP.

Our global supply chain supports internal partners across architecture, product design, technology development, manufacturing and operations, sales and marketing, and business units, and our supply ecosystem comprises thousands of suppliers globally. Our mission is to enable product and process leadership, industry-leading total cost of ownership, and on-time and uninterrupted supply for our customers. We supplement our own manufacturing capacity through our use of third-party foundries.

As of the end of 2022, we had nine manufacturing sites in production — five wafer fabrication facilities and four assembly and test facilities. Our manufacturing facilities are primarily used for silicon wafer manufacturing, assembling, and testing of our platform products. We are expanding manufacturing capacity across multiple sites, including Arizona, Ireland, Israel, and Oregon, as well as New Mexico and Malaysia for advanced packaging. This year, we broke ground on our new site in Ohio and officially added Germany to our roadmap.

Our human capital strategy is grounded in our belief that our people are fundamental to our success. Delivering on our strategy and growth ambitions requires attracting, developing, and retaining top talent across the world. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where the world's best engineers and technologists can fulfill their dreams and create technology that improves the life of every person on the planet. We invest in our highly skilled workforce of 131,900<sup>1</sup> people by creating practices, programs, and benefits that support the evolving world of work and our employees' needs.

Fostering a culture of empowerment, inclusion, and accountability is also core to our strategy. We are focused on reinvigorating our culture to strengthen our execution and accelerate our cadence of innovation. Our values—customer first, fearless innovation, results driven, one Intel, inclusion, quality, and integrity—inspire us and are key to delivering on our purpose. All employees are responsible for upholding these values, the Intel Code of Conduct, and Intel's Global Human Rights Principles, which form the foundation of our policies and practices and ethical business culture.

We continue to see significant competition for talent throughout the semiconductor industry. Though we slowed the pace of hiring in the second half of 2022 in line with macroeconomic forecasts, financial performance, and cost-cutting measures, and took actions to rebalance our workforce, the investments we are making to accelerate our process technology require continued and focused efforts to attract and retain talent—especially technical talent. We invest significant resources to develop the talent needed to remain at the forefront of innovation and make Intel an employer of choice.

Diversity and inclusion are core elements of Intel's values and instrumental to driving innovation and positioning us for growth. Over the past decade, we have taken actions to integrate diversity and inclusion expectations into our culture, performance and management systems, leadership expectations, and annual bonus metrics. We are proud of what we have accomplished to advance diversity and inclusion, but we recognize we can achieve more, including beyond the walls of Intel.

We structure pay, benefits, and services to meet the varying needs of our employees. Our total rewards package includes market-competitive pay, broad-based stock grants and bonuses, an employee stock purchase plan, healthcare and retirement benefits, paid time off and family leave, parent reintegration, fertility assistance, flexible work schedules, sabbaticals, and on-site services.

Our commitment to Intel's Environmental, Health, and Safety Policy is to provide a safe and injury-free workplace. We regularly invest in programs designed to improve physical, mental, and social well-being.

We are committed to engaging in initiatives that support our communities and help us develop trusted relationships with our stakeholders. Proactive engagement with our stakeholders and investments in social impact initiatives, including those aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, advance our position as a leading corporate citizen and create shared value for Intel, our global supply chain, and our communities.

The health of our business and local economies depends in part on continued investments in innovation. We provide high-skill, high-paying jobs around the world, many of which are manufacturing and R&D jobs located in our own domestic and international factories. As we expand operations in Arizona, Oregon, Ohio, and Europe, we are building a pipeline of qualified workers through our talent strategy and the many investments we are making in education. We also benefit economies through our R&D ecosystem spending, sourcing activities, employee spending, and tax payments. We make sizable capital investments and provide leadership in public-private partnerships to spur economic growth and innovation.

We are committed to maintaining and improving processes to avoid complicity in human rights violations related to our operations, supply chain, and products. We have established an integrated approach to managing human rights across our business, including senior-level management involvement, with board-level oversight. We also meet throughout the year with external stakeholders and experts on human rights to continue to inform and evolve our human rights policies and oversight processes. While we do not always know, nor can we control, what products our customers create or the applications end users may develop, we do not tolerate our products being used to violate human rights. When we become aware of a concern that our products are being used by a business partner in connection with abuses of human rights, our policies require that we restrict or cease business with the third party until we have high confidence that our products are not being used to violate human rights.

We actively manage our supply chain to help reduce risk, improve product quality, achieve environmental and social goals, and improve overall performance and value creation for Intel, our customers, and our suppliers. To drive responsible and sustainable practices throughout our supply chain, we have robust programs to educate and engage suppliers that support our global manufacturing operations. We actively collaborate with other companies and lead industry initiatives on key issues such as improving transparency around climate and water impacts in the global electronics supply chain and, as part of our RISE strategy, we are advancing collaboration across our industry on responsible minerals sourcing. Through these efforts we help set electronics industry-wide standards, develop audit processes, and conduct training.

Driving to the lowest possible environmental footprint as we grow helps us create efficiencies, support our communities, and respond to the needs of our stakeholders. We invest in environmental projects and set company-wide environmental targets to drive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy and water use, and waste generation. We build energy efficiency into our products to help our customers lower their own emissions, energy usage and costs, and we collaborate with policymakers and other stakeholders to use technology to address environmental challenges.

We focus on reducing our own climate change impact, and over the past two decades have reduced our direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy consumption.

Water is essential to the semiconductor manufacturing process. We use ultrapure water to remove impurities from our silicon wafers, and we use fresh and reclaimed water to run our manufacturing facility systems. Through our RISE goals, we have committed to achieve net positive water globally.

We have long been committed to waste management, recycling, and circular economy strategies that enable the recovery and productive re-use of waste streams.

**Key Corporate Governance Highlights**

Intel has long maintained strong Amended and Restated Board of Directors Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues (Corporate Governance Guidelines). The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the guidelines periodically and recommends amendments to the Board as appropriate. The Board oversees administration and interpretation of, and compliance with, the guidelines and may amend, waive, suspend, or repeal any of the guidelines at any time, with or without public notice subject to legal requirements, as it determines necessary or appropriate in the exercise of the Board's judgment or fiduciary duties.

These guidelines, which investors may find on our website at **www.intel.com/governance**, along with our other corporate governance practices, compare favorably under the Investor Stewardship Group's (ISG) Corporate Governance Framework for US Listed Companies, as shown in the table below.

**Board Responsiveness to Stockholders**

Our relationship with our stockholders is an important part of our company's success and we are proud of our long-standing and robust tradition of engaging with our stockholders through a two-way, year long dialogue.

Through direct participation in our engagement efforts as well as briefings from our engagement teams, our directors monitor developments in corporate governance, executive compensation, and corporate responsibility, and benefit from our stockholders' perspectives on these topics. In consultation with our Board, we seek to thoughtfully adopt and apply developing practices in a manner that best supports our business and our culture. Following a disappointing Say-on-Pay vote in 2022, which received only 34% support, we undertook deliberate and extensive engagement efforts to ensure we understood the reasons for how our stockholders voted and that our planned actions in response were comprehensive and satisfactory, as well as to obtain their views on other key corporate governance, environmental and social, and disclosure matters.

**Executive Compensation Summary**

**Engaging with and Responding to our Stockholders' Views on Compensation**

The Compensation Committee of the Board is committed to aligning our executive compensation programs with our strategy to accelerate Intel's transformation and create long-term stockholder value. Our Board was disappointed with the 34% support our Say-on-Pay vote received at our 2022 Annual Stockholders' Meeting and over the last year has been intensely focused on understanding and addressing the underlying concerns and perspectives of our stockholders. Led by our Compensation Committee Chair, Dion Weisler, we executed an extensive engagement program designed specifically around compensation with the goal of identifying and promptly implementing changes in response to stockholder feedback. Details on the breadth and depth of our engagement program and the changes we have implemented in response to our stockholders' feedback is included in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis that begins on **page [72](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_202)**.

Below is an overview of our NEO compensation programs. We believe that the sum of these components provides highly motivational incentives that link the pay of our named executive officers (NEOs) to the performance of our company and enables Intel to attract and retain the very best talent in a highly competitive market. We will continue to engage with our stockholders on an ongoing basis and consider their feedback when making decisions about our compensation programs.

With our corporate responsibility "RISE" strategy, 2030 goals, and 2040 net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) commitment, we aim to create a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable world, enabled through our technology (Tech) and the expertise and passion of our employees. Our strategy not only raises the bar for ourselves and our supply chain but also increases the scale and global impact of our work through ongoing collaborations with our customers and a broad range of stakeholders. Our aim is to fully harness the power of technology to solve increasingly complex and interconnected global challenges during this decade and beyond. We know that acting alone, Intel cannot achieve the broad, societal impact we aspire to.

Since we announced our strategy, we have been inspired by the many ways our employees have driven progress on our goals in the face of a challenging external environment, and by the positive feedback and increased interest from stakeholders to work together to accelerate global impact.

Gelsinger. Frank Yeary was recently appointed to serve as independent Chair of the Board in January 2023, succeeding Dr. Omar Ishrak, who had served in that role from January 2020 to January 2023 and continues to serve as a member of the Board.

Each of our director nominees currently serves on the Board and was elected to a one-year term at the 2022 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, except that Lip-Bu Tan was appointed to the Board as of September 2022 and Barbara G. Novick, who was appointed to the Board as of December 2022.

**Term and Service.** Each director's term runs from the date of their election until our next annual stockholders' meeting or until their successor (if any) is elected or appointed. If any director nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a nominee at the time of the annual meeting, the Board may reduce the size of the Board or may designate a substitute nominee and the individuals named as proxies may vote for any such substitute nominee. Alternatively, the proxies may vote just for the remaining nominees, leaving a vacancy that the Board may fill at a later date. However, we have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve at the time of the annual meeting.

**Voting, Election, and Conditional Resignation.** Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (Bylaws) provide that a director nominee is elected only if they receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to their election in an uncontested election (that is, the number of votes cast "for" that nominee exceeds the number of votes cast "against" that nominee). You may vote to "abstain," but that vote will not have an effect in determining the election results. For more information, see "Additional Meeting Information; Voting Before or During the Meeting" on **page [135](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_424)***.* If a nominee who currently serves as a director is not re-elected, Delaware law provides that the director would continue to serve on the Board as a "holdover director." Under our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines, each director must submit an advance, contingent, irrevocable resignation that the Board may accept if stockholders do not re-elect that director. In that situation, our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee would make a recommendation to the Board about whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action instead. Within 90 days from the date of the certified election results, the Board would act on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee's recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it.

**Biographical Information.** For each of the 12 director nominees standing for election, the following pages set forth biographical information, including a description of their principal occupation, business experience, and the primary qualifications, attributes, and skills (represented by the icons below) that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considered in recommending them as director nominees, as well as the Board committees on which each director nominee will serve as of the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting.

**Director Skills, Experience, and Background**

Intel is a large technology company engaged in research, manufacturing, and marketing on a global scale. We operate in highly competitive markets characterized by rapidly evolving technologies and exposure to business cycles. As we discuss below under "Board Responsibilities and Committees" on **page [45](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_112)**, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for assessing with the Board the appropriate skills, experience, and background that we seek in Board members in the context of our business and the existing composition of the Board. This assessment includes numerous diverse factors, such as independence; understanding of and experience in manufacturing, technology, finance, and marketing; senior leadership experience; international experience; mix of ages; and gender, racial, nationality, geographic, and ethnic diversity. The Board then determines whether a nominee's background, experience, personal characteristics, and skills will advance the Board's goal of creating and sustaining a Board with a diversity of perspectives and viewpoints that can support and oversee the company's complex activities.

As set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board periodically review and assess the effectiveness of these practices for considering potential director candidates.

Listed below are the skills and experience that we consider important for our directors in light of our current business and structure. The directors' biographies note each director's relevant experience, qualifications, and skills relative to this list.

Our Board is committed to actively seeking women and minority director candidates for consideration.

**Director Nomination Process**

**Committee Process**

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the Committee) establishes procedures for Board nominations and recommends candidates for election to the Board. Consideration of new Board candidates typically involves an evaluation of the needs and skill sets of the existing Board as a whole, a series of Committee and full Board discussions, review of the backgrounds and experiences of numerous potential candidates who meet identified criteria, and interviews with selected candidates. The Committee typically retains a third-party search firm to identify potential candidates for consideration and that pool may be supplemented by suggestions from Board members. In addition to candidates identified by Board members, the Committee considers candidates proposed by stockholders and employees and evaluates them using the same criteria. All identified or suggested candidates are vetted by the search firm against the Committee's criteria, screened, and ultimately a smaller group of potential candidates is selected for interviews with directors. A stockholder who wishes to suggest a candidate for the Committee's consideration should send the candidate's name and qualifications to our Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary's contact information can be found in this proxy statement under the heading "Other Matters; Communicating with Us" on **page [140](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_445)**.

**Use of Search Firms and Commitment to Diverse Candidates**

During 2022, the Board retained and paid fees to a third-party search firm to assist the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in the processes of identifying and evaluating potential Board candidates, consistent with the committee's evolving criteria each year, which in 2022 included deep experience in the semiconductor and technology industries and experience with investment, finance, stockholder advocacy, and expertise in unlocking stockholder value. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee specifically requested that the search firm work with organizations focused on identifying candidates with diverse backgrounds including different races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. We have a policy of seeking out women and minority candidates, as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, as part of each Board search. Our new director nominees, Lip-Bu Tan and Barbara G. Novick were initially recommended to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee by a retained independent search firm that built a large and diverse candidate pipeline from market research and Board member referrals. Our new directors were selected after the committee held numerous interviews with multiple qualified and diverse candidates in connection with each respective search.

In screening director candidates, regardless of whether they are identified by current Board members, stockholders, employees or third-party search firms, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the diversity of skills, experience, and background of the Board as a whole and, based on that analysis, determines whether it would strengthen the Board to add a director with that certain background, experience, personal characteristics, or skills. For additional information regarding what factors the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers in evaluating director candidates, see "Director Skills, Experience, and Background" on **page [25](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_58)**.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain limits on the number of public company board commitments an Intel director may have. The Board updated these guidelines as described below in November 2022.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Director Category** | **Board Service Limits** <sup>1</sup> |
| Directors who are a sitting CEO or an executive officer of a public company | 2 boards |
| Directors who are not a sitting CEO or an executive officer of a public company | 4 boards |
| All directors | 3 audit committees |

---

<sup>1</sup> Limitations include service on Intel's Board and audit committee and exclude not-for-profit and mutual fund boards.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (Committee) reviews these guidelines on an annual basis to ensure they are appropriate and promoting strong governance practices as intended.

As part of the director nomination process, the Committee and Board evaluate any other public company board commitments of our director nominees to determine whether they could impair the nominee's ability to serve on our Board. All of our nominees meet the public company board limitations established by the Board and in addition to their extensive

background and expertise, we believe each of them has sufficient time to effectively serve the company and our stockholders on the Board. Among other factors, the Committee and the Board consider:

▪ the number of public company board memberships, committee memberships, and leadership positions the nominees have relative to those permitted by of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the voting guidelines of our top institutional investors and proxy advisory firms,

▪ a director nominee's attendance at board and committee meetings during the prior year,

▪ the location of the other entities on whose public company boards the nominee sits,

▪ the time and attention the nominee devotes to fulfilling their respective duties,

▪ the nominee's preparedness,

▪ the value of the skills and experiences that the nominee brings to the Board's discussions,

▪ the extent of the nominee's engagement with management and the Board, and

▪ the other Board insights gained from the nominee's membership on our Board.

Recognizing that directors' responsibilities are increasingly complex and that Board and committee memberships demand significant time commitments, the Committee and Board conducted a review of director capacity for all 2023 nominees in February 2023 as part of the director nomination process. The purpose of this annual review is to help inform the Board's evaluation of and determination whether the nominees are able to devote the necessary time and energy required to be effective representatives of stockholders' interests. This analysis includes situations in which a nominee's public company board commitments reach or exceed the permissible limit set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In these instances, the Committee and the Board conduct a more thorough evaluation to determine whether the nomination is in the best interest of stockholders.

While none of our directors exceeded our Corporate Governance Guidelines for public company board memberships, the Committee's and the Board's review in 2023 of director commitments included those of Alyssa H. Henry, Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, and Lip-Bu Tan, given their evolving director commitments over the past year. Following the review, the Committee and the Board affirmed that each of them has sufficient capacity to continue to effectively serve on our Board and that their nomination is in the best interests of stockholders.

**Alyssa H. Henry.** Alyssa H. Henry is an executive officer at Block, Inc., a California-based public company, where she is the Square Lead and the Block Infrastructure & Information Security Lead. Until November 2022, Alyssa Henry had served as a director on the board of directors of Intel, Confluent Inc., and Unity Software Inc. In November 2022, Alyssa Henry resigned from the board of Unity Software, a California-based 3D video game software development company that went public in 2020, to conform with our Corporate Governance Guidelines and address feedback that some stockholders provided regarding Alyssa Henry's public company board commitments. Currently, Alyssa Henry only serves on two public company boards. Alyssa Henry's role as a director at each of Intel and Confluent Inc., a California-based public company focused on data infrastructure software, are in line with the limitation of service on public company boards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and are within the guidelines of our largest institutional investors. After reviewing Alyssa Henry's work on the Intel Board and other commitments, the Committee and Board determined that Alyssa Henry is able to devote the necessary time and energy and that this nomination is in the best interest of stockholders based on an evaluation of a number of considerations. These considerations include that Alyssa Henry clearly demonstrated the ability to devote the time and energy required to be an effective representative of stockholders' interests as evidenced by a perfect (100%) attendance record at both Intel's and Confluent's board and applicable committee meetings in 2022 and meaningful contributions to Intel's Board dialogue and engagement with other directors and management; the geographical proximity (Northern California, Bay Area) of Alyssa Henry's primary employment with Block, Inc. and the headquarter locations of both Intel and Confluent; the value of the software ecosystem and mobile data knowledge and expertise Alyssa Henry brings to our Board and business and strategic priorities as a result of the executive responsibilities and other board memberships; and the contributions to the very diverse backgrounds of the Board.

**Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey.** In connection with GE Healthcare Technologies' (GE Healthcare) spin-off in January 2023, Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey transitioned off of General Electric's board and onto the board of GE Healthcare, where she is the independent Lead Director. She now serves on the boards of Intel, Better Therapeutics, GE Healthcare, and Merck. Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey continues to meet the public company board limitations set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. After reviewing Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey's commitments, the Committee and Board determined that she is able to devote the necessary time and energy to serve on our Board, taking into account her attendance record (37 out of 39 meetings) at Intel's Board and applicable committee meetings in 2022, her outside board leadership roles, her role as Chair of the Committee and service on Intel's Audit and Compensation Committees, and that this nomination is in the best interest of stockholders. Her extensive senior leadership and human capital experience and deep knowledge in board and governance best practices and government and regulatory bodies continue to be of great value to our Board.

**Lip-Bu Tan.** Effective as of Cadence Design Systems, Inc.'s annual stockholder meeting in 2023 (typically held in May), Lip-Bu Tan will no longer serve as the Executive Chairman of the board and will cease to serve as a director of Cadence Design Systems. He served as Executive Chairman at Cadence Design Systems (following his role as their CEO) in connection with their CEO succession planning and transition, ceased being an executive officer of Cadence in 2022, and is expected to have his tenure as Executive Chairman end in May 2023. As a result, Mr. Tan is not currently an executive officer of any public company. He will serve as an employee at Cadence Design Systems in a non-officer role through March 31, 2024. Mr. Tan's membership on the board of directors of Intel and two other public companies (Credo Technologies and Schneider Electric) is within the limitation on service on public company boards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Committee and Board determined that he is able to devote the necessary time and energy to serve on our Board and that this nomination is in the best interest of stockholders.

**Board Diversity and Refreshment**

**Board's Diversity Commitment, Advisor, and Definition**

Our Board is committed to building a Board with diverse experiences and backgrounds. In 2014, the Board formally adopted its commitment to actively seek women and minority candidates for evaluation for the Board as part of each undertaken Board search. In connection with our Board refreshment process, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee seeks input from the Chief People Officer, who is responsible for Intel's Global Diversity and Inclusion efforts. Representation of gender, race, ethnic, nationality, geographic, cultural, or other diverse perspectives expands the Board's understanding of the needs and viewpoints of our customers, partners, employees, governments, and other stakeholders worldwide. As part of our ongoing commitment to creating a balanced Board with diverse viewpoints and deep industry expertise, we regularly add new directors to infuse new ideas and fresh perspectives in the boardroom.

**Board Tenure**

The Board generally believes that a mix of long-, medium-, and short-tenured directors promotes an appropriate balance of views and insights and allows the Board as a whole to benefit from the historical and institutional knowledge that longer-tenured directors possess and the fresh perspectives contributed by newer directors.

As an alternative to term limits, the Board seeks to maintain an average tenure of 10 years or less for the non-employee directors as a group.

| If each non-employee director nominee is elected to the Board, after the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, they will have served an average of 4.9 years on the Board. Overall, our Board, including employee directors, will have an average tenure of 4.3 years. We believe that this mix of tenure on the Board represents a diversified "portfolio" of new perspectives and deep institutional knowledge. |  |  |

**Director Independence and Transactions Considered in Independence Determinations** 

**Director Independence**

The Board believes that a substantial majority of the Board should be independent of management. The Board's guidelines for director independence conform to the independence requirements in the published listing requirements of Nasdaq. The Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in determining independence.

The Board has determined that ten of our eleven non-employee director nominee are "independent" in accordance with the published listing requirements of Nasdaq. Mr. Tan is deemed to not be independent because prior to joining the Board in 2022, he was a member of our Board's Technical Advisory Committee where he received $125,000 annually in consideration of his services. Mr. Tan remains on the Board advisory committee but no longer receives any compensation for this role there following him joining the Board. Mr. Gelsinger is our CEO and is therefore not independent.

In addition to the Board-level standards for director independence, all directors who serve on the Audit & Finance Committee each satisfy committee-specific independence standards established by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Nasdaq. Similarly, all members of the Compensation Committee each satisfy committee-specific independence standards established by the SEC and Nasdaq.

**Transactions Considered in Independence Determinations**

In making its determination that each non-employee director is independent, with the exception of Mr. Tan, the Board reviewed and discussed additional information provided by the directors and the company with regard to each director's business and personal activities as they may relate to Intel and Intel's management and considered transactions that occurred since the beginning of 2020 between Intel and entities associated with the directors or members of their immediate families. The Board considered the transactions in the context of the Nasdaq objective standards and the special standards established by the SEC and Nasdaq for members of audit and compensation committees. Based on this review, as required by the Nasdaq rules, the Board made a subjective determination that, based on the nature of the directors' relationships with the entity and/or the amount involved, no relationships exist that, in the opinion of the Board, impair the directors' independence. The Board's independence determinations took into account the following transactions:

**Business Relationships** 

Each of our non-employee directors (or one of his or her immediate family members) is a non-management director, trustee, advisor, or executive or serving in a similar position at another entity that did business with Intel at some time during the previous three fiscal years. The business relationships were ordinary course dealings as a supplier or purchaser of goods or services; licensing or research arrangements; facility, engineering, and equipment fees; or commercial paper or similar financing arrangements in which Intel or an affiliate participated as a creditor. Payments to or from each of these entities constituted less than the greater of $200,000 or 1% of each of Intel's and the recipient's annual revenue, respectively, in each of the past three years.

**Board Evaluations**

We are committed to providing transparency about our Board and committee evaluation process. The Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, collaborating with the Board Chair, is responsible for managing the annual process for evaluating the Board, its committees, and the individual directors. From time to time, the Board utilizes the assistance of a third-party facilitator in the evaluation process.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg)**2022 Process.** In 2022, the Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee worked with our Chief Legal Officer (CLO) to review prior assessment processes and determine the best methodology to meet the Board's desired goals for the evaluation process. Further, working together, the Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and our CLO developed proposed focus areas and questions to assess and improve the Board's performance.

The evaluation process in 2022 consisted of two parts:

▪ a written questionnaire that asked for the directors' feedback on areas such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Board and committee structure, including leadership,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ meeting agendas and content, including the flow and organization of Board and committee meetings and whether the directors have the right time allocations and priorities on Board and committee topics,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ CEO, senior leadership, and organizational talent and succession planning,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ whether there are particular skills sets and vantage points that the company is lacking on the Board or in committees, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ soliciting constructive feedback as to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ whether all of the directors are contributing and adding value,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Board culture

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the performance of the Board and committee Chairs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ investor insight and engagement; and

▪ interviews conducted with each director.

The questionnaire was anonymous and provided for both numerical ratings and narrative responses. The Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee conducted the interviews with individual directors. The numeric ratings, narrative comments, and interview feedback were then aggregated and summarized by the committee Chair, who reported the results to the full Board and led the discussion of the performance of the Board, committees, and directors.

**How the Board incorporates feedback.** The annual evaluation process provides the Board with valuable insight regarding areas where the Board believes it functions effectively and, more importantly, areas where the Board believes it can continue to improve its effectiveness and oversight. For example, input generated by Board members in recent years has focused, among other things, on adding a mix of industry experience and expertise in business transformations and unlocking stockholder value, which has encouraged and informed our recent Board refreshment efforts.

**Board Orientation and Education**

Our CEO in conjunction with management are responsible for new director orientation programs and for our director continuing education programs. The orientation programs are designed to familiarize new directors with our businesses, strategies, and challenges, and to assist new directors in developing and maintaining the skills necessary or appropriate for the performance of their responsibilities. Continuing education programs for directors may include a mix of in-house and third-party presentations and programs. Our directors receive frequent updates on recent developments, press coverage and current events that relate to our strategy and business.

Corporate Governance Matters

**Board Leadership Structure**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| As a large company with operations and customers around the world, it is the Board's general policy (embodied in the Board's published Corporate Governance Guidelines) that the positions of Chair of the Board and CEO should be held by separate persons as an aid in the Board's oversight of management and the CEO's focus on the business. If the Board Chair were not an independent director, the Board would appoint an independent director to serve as Lead Director with robust responsibilities which are published in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. If the Board's policy were to change, stockholders would be informed of such a change in a press release or through any amended Corporate Governance Guidelines that we publish on our website and highlight in our annual proxy statements and the Board would welcome any input received from our stockholders on such changes. | &nbsp;&nbsp;![intc-20230327_g163.jpg](intc-20230327_g163.jpg)<br>Frank D.

Mr. Yeary was selected by the non-employee directors to serve as the Board Chair based on his experience, including:<br>▪ experience unlocking stockholder value developed over 25 years of finance industry experience;<br>▪ co-founding and serving as Executive Chairman of CamberView Partners, a corporate advisory firm offering-focused advice for public companies;<br>▪ serving as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Berkeley, where he oversaw changes to the university's financial and operating strategy; and<br>▪ a familiarity with Intel that has developed from having overseen multiple leadership transitions and industry cycles and having been a member of most Intel Board committees.<br>The Board has benefited from having an independent Board Chair, for example by helping to facilitate relations between the Board, the CEO, and other senior management; assisting the Board in reaching consensus on particular strategies and policies; fostering robust evaluation processes; and by efficiently allocating oversight responsibilities between the independent directors and management. <br>The Board believes that its programs for overseeing risk, as described in the "The Board's Role in Risk Oversight at Intel" section below, would be effective under a variety of leadership frameworks. Accordingly, the Board's risk oversight function did not significantly impact its selection of the current leadership structure. | At times, the Board Chair has been a former executive of the company and has served as a full-time executive officer.

**Board Chair Responsibilities**

Our CEO has primary responsibility for Intel's operational leadership and strategic direction, while our Board Chair facilitates our Board's management oversight, promotes communication between management and our Board, engages with stockholders, and leads our Board's consideration of key governance matters. As Board Chair, Mr. Yeary's responsibilities include:

▪ presiding over all meetings of the Board;

▪ developing in consultation with the CEO, Corporate Secretary, Chief People Officer, and other members of the Board and approving the schedule and agenda for Board meetings;

▪ assessing the quality, quantity, and timeliness of the information submitted by the company's management that is necessary or appropriate for the non-employee directors to effectively and responsibly perform their duties;

▪ calling and presiding over meetings of the independent and/or non-employee directors;

▪ working with the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the Committee) to evaluate potential director candidates, determine the membership of the various Board committees, and select committee chairs;

▪ serving as principal liaison between the Board and CEO, including providing feedback where appropriate to the CEO from executive sessions of independent and/or non-employee directors;

▪ presiding over all meetings of stockholders; and

▪ serving as the Board's liaison for consultation and direct communication with stockholders.

The non-employee directors periodically assess the Board's leadership structure with input from the Board Chair and will continue to evaluate and implement the leadership structure that they conclude most effectively supports the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities.

**Board Responsibilities and Committees**

**Board Responsibilities** 

The Board oversees, counsels, and directs management in the long-term interests of the company and our stockholders. The Board's responsibilities include:

▪ reviewing, discussing, and approving our strategy, major financial objectives, operating plans, and other significant actions;

▪ overseeing the conduct of our business and the assessment of our business and other enterprise risks to evaluate whether the business is being properly managed;

▪ planning for CEO succession and monitoring management's succession planning for other senior executives;

▪ selecting the CEO, evaluating CEO performance, and determining the compensation of the CEO and other executive officers; and

▪ overseeing our processes for maintaining the integrity of our financial statements and other public disclosures, and our compliance with law and ethics.

The Board and its committees met throughout the year on a set schedule, held special meetings, and acted by written consent from time to time as necessary. At each regular Board meeting, time is reserved for the independent directors and non-employee directors to meet in executive session without the CEO present. The executive leadership team regularly attends Board meetings to present information on our business and strategy, and Board members have access to our employees outside of Board meetings. Board members are encouraged to make site visits on a worldwide basis to meet with local management; to attend Intel industry, analyst, and other major events; and to accept invitations to attend and speak at internal Intel meetings.

**Strategy Oversight**

The Board actively oversees Intel's long-term business strategy and strategic priorities and is actively engaged in ensuring that Intel's leadership and culture reflect its longstanding commitment to those subjects. The Board regularly engages with management on these topics. For example, since early 2021, and through 2022, the Board has worked closely with our new CEO in developing, announcing, and then starting to monitor the execution of "IDM 2.0"—Intel's new strategy for innovation and product leadership—and related process technology and process leadership goals. In addition, each year, the Board:

**Risk Oversight**

An important function of the Board is oversight of enterprise risk management at Intel. Risk is inherent in business, and the Board's oversight, assessment, and decisions regarding risks occur in the context of and in conjunction with the other activities of the Board and its committees.

**Defining Risk**

The Board and management consider "risk" to be the possibility that an undesired event could occur that might adversely affect the achievement of our objectives. Risks vary in many ways, including the ability of the company to anticipate and understand the risk, the types of adverse impacts that could result if the undesired event occurs, the likelihood that an undesired event and a particular adverse impact would occur, and the ability of the company to control the risk and the potential adverse impacts. Examples of the types of risks Intel could potentially face include:

▪ macro-economic risks, such as inflation, deflation, reductions in economic growth, or recession;

▪ geopolitical risks;

▪ event risks, such as natural disasters, public health crises, or cybersecurity incidents; and

▪ business-specific risks related to strategy and competition, product demand, global operations, products and manufacturing, cybersecurity and privacy, intellectual property protection and theft, litigation and regulatory compliance, corporate responsibility and sustainability (including climate risk), human capital risks, and corporate governance risks.

Not all risks can be dealt with in the same way. Some risks may be readily perceived and controllable, while other risks are unknown; some risks can be avoided or mitigated by particular behavior, and some risks are unavoidable as a practical matter. In some cases, a decision may be made that a higher degree of risk may be acceptable because of a greater perceived potential for reward. Intel seeks to align its voluntary risk-taking with company strategy, and Intel understands that its projects and processes may enhance the company's business interests by encouraging innovation and appropriate levels of risk-taking.

**Succession Planning and Human Capital Management Oversight** 

As reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board's primary responsibilities include planning for CEO succession and monitoring management's succession planning for other senior executives. The Board's goal is to have a long-term program for effective senior leadership development and succession, as well as short-term contingency plans for emergency and ordinary course contingencies. The program plays an important role in the company's success. The Board, as well as the current senior leadership team, understand the importance of and are keenly focused on development of internal talent and succession planning.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| The Compensation Committee reviews succession planning and management development topics with the Board at least annually. The Board and the Compensation Committee work with our CEO and our Chief People Officer to plan for succession. The Board has an opportunity to meet regularly with executives at many levels across the company through |  |
| formal presentations at Board meetings and informal events throughout the year. Board members also engage with senior leaders through the Board advisory committees, and consequently attain greater and deeper familiarity with | ![intc-20230327_g7.jpg](intc-20230327_g7.jpg) |
| senior leadership. Board members are also partnered with key senior leaders based on their backgrounds to assist with mentorship and oversight. The topic of succession planning and management development is discussed regularly in executive sessions of the Board and/or Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is also regularly updated throughout the year on the overall workforce's key talent indicators. | ![intc-20230327_g7.jpg](intc-20230327_g7.jpg) |

For more information regarding our leadership changes, please see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis; Executive Summary; Our New Leadership Team" on **page [76](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5011)**.

In addition, the Board is actively engaged in overseeing Intel's human capital management policies and programs through the Compensation Committee, including assessing whether Intel's culture reflects its longstanding commitment to responsibility, inclusivity, and sustainability.

**Corporate Responsibility/ESG Oversight**

Corporate responsibility and ESG matters play an important role at Intel, and the Board is actively involved in overseeing our corporate responsibility initiatives. A number of directors have expertise on key ESG issues. For example, Ms. Novick has extensive experience with human capital management as a co-founder and manager of various departments at BlackRock, in addition to heading BlackRock's Investment Stewardship team and working closely with BlackRock's Sustainable Investing team on various ESG issues; Mr. Smith oversaw Boeing's strengthened focus on sustainability; Mr. Weisler championed diversity, inclusion, and corporate responsibility while leading HP; Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey has focused on companies' promoting social good in public health through her work at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; and Dr. Goldsmith has actively promoted diversity and inclusion in electrical engineering.

**Independent Board Oversight of ESG**<br>The Board has delegated the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee the primary responsibility for oversight of ESG issues at Intel, with additional topics also reviewed by other committees,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Compensation Committee the responsibility for oversight of human capital issues, and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Audit & Finance Committee the responsibility for oversight of our ethics and compliance program.<br>

Management provides formal updates to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at least twice each year and at least annually to the full Board on the company's ESG performance and disclosure. In 2022, this included a review of the annual Corporate Responsibility Report and updates on issues including environmental sustainability, climate risk, human capital, human rights, political accountability, and investor outreach and feedback.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg)**Cybersecurity Oversight**

Cybersecurity is an important area of risk that Intel looks to manage. In conformity with industry standards (e.g., the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for operational capabilities and ISO 27001 for policy) Intel looks to address cybersecurity threats through a multi-layered approach. Intel has a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) whose team is responsible for leading enterprise-wide information security strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes and operations. The CISO is a part of Intel's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) & Software and Advanced Technology Group (SATG) organization, which works across all of the organizations within the company to protect Intel, its products, and its clients against cybersecurity risks. As part of its enterprise risk management oversight, the Audit & Finance Committee, which is made up entirely of independent directors, devotes significant time and attention to cybersecurity and product security risk. Both the Board and the Audit & Finance Committee each receive regular updates from management (at least twice annually, and more frequently as needed), as well as quarterly updates from the CISO and other cybersecurity experts, in areas such as threat intelligence, major cyber risk areas, emerging global policies and regulations, cybersecurity technologies and best practices, and cybersecurity incidents. Board members also receive cybersecurity education sessions on request from senior management.

A number of Intel directors have experience with cybersecurity risks, including Mr. Gelsinger, who was CEO of VMware following its acquisition of Carbon Black, Inc., a cyber security platform maker, and after which a Security business unit was created; Mr. Goetz who has been a member of the board of directors at Palo Alto Networks Inc., a network security solution company, for 17 years and had been a board member of Barracuda Networks Inc., a data security and storage company, for eight years; Mr. Smith whose portfolio at The Boeing Company included Boeing Horizon X, the venture capital arm of Boeing that identified and invested in start-ups that developed emerging technologies and business in markets such as cybersecurity; and Mr. Weisler who was CEO of HP Inc., which invested in malware protection software and dealt with significant cybersecurity risk.

**Board Committees**

The Board assigns responsibilities and delegates authority to its committees, and the committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full Board. As of the end of 2022, the Board had four standing committees: Audit & Finance, Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and M&A. The Board also had established a special committee to oversee the Mobileye initial public offering, which included a pricing subcommittee. Each committee has the authority to engage outside experts, advisors, and counsel to assist the committee in its work.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg) The Board and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee understand the importance of bringing fresh and diverse perspectives to the Board and its committees. When new directors are appointed to the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will use the opportunity to evaluate whether the composition of the Board committees should evolve as well to ensure the appropriate depth of skills and experiences, to be prepared for and plan for any future succession, and to reflect new perspectives especially in areas critical to the company's strategic priorities and/or related areas of particular stockholder interest. Following the appointment of Mr. Tan and Ms. Novick, the committee and the Board undertook such a review. Based upon the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee's recommendation, the Board made the following changes to the committees effective December 1, 2022.

▪ **Audit & Finance Committee** - the appointment of Dr. Andrea Goldsmith, Dr. Omar Ishrak, and Barbara Novick; and rotation off of Dr. Tsu-Jae King Liu and Frank Yeary

▪ **Compensation Committee** - the appointment of James Goetz and Barbara Novick, and rotation off of Alyssa Henry and Dr. Omar Ishrak

▪ **Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee** - the appointment of Alyssa Henry and Dr. Tsu-Jae King Liu, and the rotation off of James Goetz

Each standing committee has a written charter approved by the Board. We post each charter in the Corporate Governance section of our **website at www.intc.com/board-and-governance**.

As discussed above, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit & Finance, Compensation, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees is an independent director in accordance with Nasdaq standards, as is each M&A Committee member other than Lip-Bu Tan.

**Advisory Committees**

From time to time, the Board approves the creation of advisory committees as the Board deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. ![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg) The membership of some of our advisory committees are publicly disclosed, while others are maintained in confidence due to privacy and other sensitivity considerations. Each advisory committee is led by a Board member and includes outside experts to provide a strong "outside-in" perspective to the Board and management in key strategic areas. The purpose of the advisory committees is to benefit the Board and augment the experiences and backgrounds of the directors as they exercise their fiduciary duties and oversee the company. Any advisory committees established by the Board are independent of management and the members of the advisory committees are appointed and removed by the Board and serve at the Board's pleasure. The size, charters, and scope of responsibilities of any advisory committee are set by the Board from time to time.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg) The Board sets from time to time the compensation of the advisory committee members. Beginning in September 2022, it is Intel's policy that the annual compensation of the advisory committee members may not exceed an amount that would preclude a member from being determined by the Board to be eligible to be "independent" as such term is defined in Nasdaq's rules. Any member of the Board who serves on any advisory committee does not receive additional compensation for their advisory committee service. Any such service is considered to be part of the director's service as a director, for which he or she is already compensated. The Board approves the expenditure of any funds necessary and appropriate to the creation and maintenance of the advisory committees.

The Board evaluates the need for advisory committees from time to time and may establish new committees and sunset others as the company's needs change. During 2022, the advisory committees of the Board included:

**Architecture Advisory Committee.** The committee provides strategic guidance and advice to management and the Board on architectural strategies, designs, choices, and decisions; developments that may affect the architecture ecosystem; and emerging technologies. The committee is chaired by Dr. Andrea J. Goldsmith.

**Government Affairs Advisory Committee.** The committee provides advice, guidance, counsel, and expertise to management and the Board with respect to governmental affairs strategies, primarily in the US, initiatives, programs, trends, developments, partnerships, alliances, and relationships that will both protect and drive the growth of the company's business. The committee is chaired by Dr. Omar Ishrak. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Board determined that the ![intc-20230327_g7.jpg](intc-20230327_g7.jpg)Government Affairs Advisory Committee had met the Board's objectives and sunset the committee effective at the end of the first quarter of 2023. The Board is considering establishing new regional advisory committees in 2023 for Europe and Asia. If established by the Board, it is expected that these regional advisory committees will focus on technical and commercial matters, as well as government affairs.

**Technology Advisory Committee.** The committee helps identify, evaluate, and monitor important trends in process technology development, including design enablement and packaging technology development. The committee is chaired by Dr. Tsu-Jae King Liu.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg)**Technology, Manufacturing, and Foundry Advisory Committee.** The committee provides advice, guidance, counsel, and expertise to management and the Board on creating an internal foundry model, including producing a world-class, full service technology, manufacturing, and systems foundry organization. The committee is chaired by Lip-Bu Tan.

**Stockholder Engagement** 

Our relationship with our stockholders is an important part of our company's success and we have a long tradition of engaging with our stockholders and obtaining their perspectives. During 2022, we continued our extensive outreach efforts, paying particular attention to stockholders' concerns regarding our executive compensation programs and last year's Say-on-Pay vote, and our integrated outreach team led by our Compensation Committee Chair, Chief People Officer, Investor Relations group, Human Resources, Corporate Responsibility office, and Corporate Secretary office, met to discuss a wide variety of issues with stockholders.

In the months following the 2022 Say-on-Pay vote, the Compensation Committee executed an expanded engagement program designed specifically around compensation with the goal of identifying and promptly implementing changes that would be responsive to stockholder feedback. (see "Stockholder Engagement Shaped Our Response to the 2022 Say-on-Pay Vote" on **page [72](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_202)** for additional information)

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg)**ESG Engagement.** In addition to our regular integrated outreach team engagements, we hold a series of meetings every year with a number of our institutional stockholders focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and disclosure. In the fall of 2022, we invited institutional investors representing 72% of shares held by institutional investors, as well as other important ESG stakeholders such as proxy advisors and rating agencies, to participate in our annual virtual ESG roadshow. Approximately 30 firms, including stockholders representing approximately 30% of shares held by institutional investors, participated in the meetings. The sessions covered strategy and ESG governance; an overview of our corporate responsibility; updates on the key topics of diversity and inclusion, environmental sustainability, product sustainability, supply chain responsibility and responsible AI; with break out discussions on environmental and social matters. Presenters included the Chief People Officer and executive sponsor of ESG, the Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer; the Chief Sustainability Officer; the Chief Product Sustainability Officer; and representatives of Corporate Responsibility, Supply Chain Responsibility, and Responsible AI.

**Philosophy.** We believe that our approach to engaging openly with our stockholders on topics such as strategy, corporate governance, executive compensation, and corporate responsibility drives increased corporate accountability, improves decision making, and ultimately creates long-term value. We are committed to:

▪ **Accountability**. Drive and support leading corporate governance and Board practices to promote oversight, accountability, and good decision making.

▪ **Transparency**. Maintain high levels of transparency on a range of financial, governance, and corporate responsibility issues to build trust and sustain two-way dialogue that supports our business success.

▪ **Engagement**. Proactively engage with stockholders and stakeholder groups in dialogue on a range of topics to identify emerging trends and issues to inform our thinking and approach.

We pursue multiple avenues for stockholder engagement, including video and teleconference meetings with our stockholders, participating at various conferences, and issuing periodic reports on our activities. Through these activities, we discuss and receive input, provide additional information, and address questions on our corporate strategy, executive compensation programs, corporate governance, and other topics of interest to our stockholders, such as our corporate responsibility activities discussed below. These engagement efforts with our stockholders allow us to better understand our

stockholders' priorities and perspectives, and provide us with useful input concerning our corporate strategy and our compensation and corporate governance practices. We actively engage with our stockholders on a year-round basis and integrate the information we learn through these activities into our governance calendar, as reflected below.

**Stockholder Engagement Cycle**

![intc-20230327_g187.jpg](intc-20230327_g187.jpg)

For example, following the 2022 Say-on-Pay vote, the Compensation Committee executed an expanded engagement program designed specifically around compensation with the goal of identifying and promptly implementing changes that would be responsive to stockholder feedback.

The feedback we receive from stockholders and stakeholder groups through these activities is communicated to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (CGN) and the Compensation Committee on a regular basis throughout the year, and to our full Board once a year. After careful review, our CGN recommends to the Board whether enhancements to our company's policies and practices are appropriate to meet stockholder expectations relating to new issues or emerging trends.

Below is a summary of the feedback we received through our 2022 stockholder engagement program and how we responded.

All of our nominees meet the public company board limitations established by the Board and in addition to their extensive background and expertise, we believe each of them has sufficient time, bandwidth, and capacity to effectively serve the company and our stockholders on the Board (see "Directors' Outside Board Commitments" on **page [33](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_3937)**). |

**Director Compensation**

The general policy of the Board is that compensation for non-employee directors should be a mix of cash and equity, with the majority of compensation provided in the form of equity.

**Annual Review of Director Compensation**. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (CGN), consisting solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility for reviewing director compensation and considering any changes in how we compensate our non-employee directors. The CGN reviews director compensation on an annual basis, considering factors such as workload and market data. The Board annually reviews the committee's recommendations and determines the amount of director compensation.

The CGN engages the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant to assist the committee with the director compensation programs. The director peer group is the same as the peer group considered by the Compensation Committee in setting executive compensation for 2022 and as of July 2022, consisted of 17 technology companies, as described in detail below under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis; External Competitive Considerations for 2022" on **page [81](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_250)**. The committee targets cash and equity compensation at the median of the director peer group.

For 2022, the Board made no changes to the annual compensation for non-employee directors from 2021. The 2022 annual compensation for non-employee directors consisted of the elements shown in the below table. Effective March 1, 2023, the Board decided to temporarily reduce by 25% the cash retainer portion of their directors' fees, and the Chair Mr. Yeary also decided to temporarily reduce by 25% his additional Chair cash retainer fee. The Board took these actions as part of Intel's broader cost control efforts, which included pay reductions across the board for the company's senior leadership team through mid-level employees.

Intel does not pay its management directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. For 2022, Mr. Gelsinger served as our employee director and did not receive any compensation for his service as a member of our Board.

<sup>1</sup>With respect to all directors except Lip-Bu Tan and Barbara Novick, includes May 12, 2022, Annual Equity Award of 4,828 RSUs with a grant date fair value computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 and assuming a risk-free rate of return of 1.50% and a dividend yield of 3.44%. For additional information, see "RSUs in Lieu of Fees" and "Annual Equity Awards" below.

<sup>2</sup>The Intel Foundation made matching charitable contributions on behalf of Dr. Omar Ishrak ($10,000), Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey ($10,000), Dr. Tsu-Jae King Liu ($10,000), Gregory Smith ($10,000), and Frank Yeary ($11,000). Directors' charitable contributions to schools and universities that meet the guidelines of Intel's employee charitable matching gift program are eligible for matching funds. Lip-Bu Tan received $62,500 in compensation in 2022 as an advisory board committee member prior to becoming a director.

<sup>3</sup>James Goetz (i) was granted 1,703 RSUs on January 31, 2022 in lieu of his annual cash retainer for 2021, with the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and assuming a risk-free rate of return of 0.35% and a dividend yield of 3.04% and (ii) elected RSUs in lieu of his 2022 cash fees, and these RSUs were granted in January 2023.

<sup>4</sup>Dr. Andrea Goldsmith, Gregory Smith, and Frank Yeary elected to defer their 2022 annual cash compensation until their retirement from the Board.

<sup>5</sup>Alyssa Henry (i) was granted 2,176 RSUs on January 31, 2022 in lieu of her annual cash retainer for 2021, with the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and assuming a risk-free rate of return of 0.35% and a dividend yield of 3.04% and (ii) elected RSUs in lieu of her 2022 cash fees, and these RSUs were granted in January 2023.

<sup>6</sup>Barbara Novick joined the Board on December 1, 2022 and will be granted an award of non-employee director time-based restricted stock units in the first quarter of 2023.

<sup>7</sup>Lip-Bu Tan joined the Board on September 1, 2022, and was granted 5,524 RSUs on October 30, 2022, with the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and assuming a risk-free rate of return of 4.25% and a dividend yield of 5.12%.

<sup>8</sup>Dion Weisler (i) was granted 2,152 RSUs on January 31, 2022 in lieu of his annual cash retainer for 2021, with the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and assuming a risk-free rate of return of 0.35% and a dividend yield of 3.04% and (ii) elected RSUs in lieu of his 2022 cash fees, and these RSUs were granted in January 2023.

**RSUs in Lieu of Fees.** Under the "RSUs in Lieu of Cash Election" program, non-employee directors can elect to receive 100% of their cash compensation in the form of RSUs (but not less than 100%). RSUs elected in lieu of payments in cash generally vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

**Annual Equity Awards.** Each non-employee director received annual grants of RSUs with a target value on the grant date of approximately $220,000. The fair value of an RSU for accounting purposes is discounted for the present value of dividends that are not paid on RSUs prior to vesting. The grant date and vesting of the RSUs align with the intended service on the Board, from election at the annual stockholders' meeting to the date that is the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the date of the next annual stockholders' meeting.

All unvested RSU shares are payable upon retirement from the Board if a director is 75 years old (or 72 years for RSU awards granted prior to May 2022) or has at least seven years of service on the Board. Directors do not receive dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs.

**Deferred Compensation Program.** This program allows non-employee directors to defer their cash and equity compensation. Under the cash deferral program, directors may defer up to 100% of their cash compensation and receive an investment return on the deferred funds as if the funds were invested in Intel common stock. Participants receive credit for

reinvestment of dividends under this cash deferral program. Plan participants must elect irrevocably to receive the deferred funds either in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over five or 10 years, and to begin receiving distributions either at retirement or at a future date not less than 24 months from the election date. This deferred cash compensation is an unsecured obligation for Intel.

The equity deferral program allows directors to defer the settlement of their vested equity awards until termination of service. Directors do not receive dividends on deferred vested equity awards.

**Outstanding Equity Awards for Directors At Fiscal Year-End 2022**

The following table provides information on the outstanding equity awards held at fiscal year-end 2022 by the non-employee directors who served during fiscal 2022. Market value is determined by multiplying the number of shares by the closing price of Intel common stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day of the fiscal year unless otherwise specified.

<sup>1</sup>Includes (i) unvested RSUs and (ii) vested but deferred equity awards for the following directors: Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey (6,146), Gregory Smith (14,131), and Frank Yeary (13,623). Awards in this column may become payable upon the director's retirement from the Board, depending on the director's age or length of service.

<sup>2</sup>Annual RSUs vest 100% on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the date of the next annual stockholders' meeting; RSUs in lieu of cash fees vest 100% on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.

**Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines.** Intel's stock ownership guidelines state that each non-employee director must acquire and hold at least five times (5x) the annual cash retainer amount within five years of joining the Board. Unvested RSUs do not count toward this requirement. Deferred RSUs count toward this requirement once they vest. As of December 31, 2022, each non-employee director nominee had met these ownership guidelines or still had time to do so.

**Equipment.** Intel provides each non-employee director a laptop computer for personal use and offers each director the use of other equipment employing Intel technology.

**Travel Expenses.** Our Board compensation does not include meeting fees. We reimburse our directors for their travel and related expenses in connection with attending Board and committee meetings and Board-related activities, such as Board advisory committee meetings, Intel site visits, and sponsored events, as well as continuing education programs. Given the significant value to Intel of director interactions with each other and with Intel employees, as well as the pandemic, Intel and the Board authorized the use of private chartered airfare for certain Intel-related travel by directors in 2021 and 2022.

**Certain Relationships and Related Transactions**

The Board's Audit & Finance Committee is responsible for the review, approval, or ratification of "related-person transactions" involving Intel or its subsidiaries and related persons. Under SEC rules, a related person is a director, executive officer, nominee for director since the beginning of the previous fiscal year, or a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the company at the time of the applicable transaction, and their immediate family members. Intel has adopted written policies and procedures that apply to any transaction or series of transactions in which the company or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest.

**Pre-Cleared Transaction Categories.** The Audit & Finance Committee has determined that, barring additional facts or circumstances, a related person does not have a direct or indirect material interest in the following categories of transactions:

▪ any transaction with another company for which a related person's only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director, or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company's shares, if the amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of that company's total annual revenue;

▪ any charitable contribution, grant, or endowment by Intel or the Intel Foundation to a charitable organization, foundation, or university for which a related person's only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) or a director, if the amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $1 million or 2% of the charitable organization's total annual receipts, or any matching contribution, grant, or endowment by the Intel Foundation;

▪ compensation to executive officers determined by the Compensation Committee;

▪ compensation to directors determined by the Board;

▪ transactions in which all security holders receive proportional benefits; and

▪ banking-related services involving a bank depository of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar service.

**Review Process.** Intel personnel in the Legal and Finance departments review transactions involving related persons that are not included in one of the preceding categories. If they determine that a related person could have a significant interest in such a transaction, information regarding the transaction is shared with the Audit & Finance Committee for review. The Audit & Finance Committee determines whether the related person has a material interest in a transaction and may approve, ratify, rescind, or take other action with respect to the transaction in its discretion. The Audit & Finance Committee reviews all material facts related to the transaction and takes into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no more favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction; and, if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services.

**Transactions in 2022.** Since the beginning of 2022, the only related-person transactions under the relevant standards are the following, which were reviewed and approved by the Audit & Finance Committee:

▪ The $125,000 of annual compensation payable on a quarterly basis to Lip-Bu Tan for his service on a board advisory committee prior to joining the Board.

▪ Nicole Schlappi, the sister of Michelle Johnston Holthaus, the company's Executive Vice President and GM of CCG, is employed by the company as a non-technical program manager. In addition, Kenneth Holthaus, the brother-in-law of Ms. Holthaus, is employed by the company as a technical project manager. In fiscal year 2022, the aggregate compensation paid to Nicole Schlappi and Kenneth Holthaus, including base salary, incentive compensation, and long-term incentive equity awards was approximately $232,600 and $374,000, respectively. We compensate these individuals in a manner consistent with our practices that apply to other similarly situated company employees.

▪ In addition, Mr. Holthaus was a participant in the company's Corporate People Movement initiative, whereby his estimated exit date is March 31, 2023. If he is not redeployed elsewhere in the company and signs and does not revoke a release, he will be entitled to severance based on years of service and up to 12 months of paid COBRA premiums, all on the same terms as other similarly situated participants.

▪ Members of our Board and executive officers participated in Mobileye Global Inc.'s directed share program associated with Mobileye's IPO. Under the program, 2,050,000 shares of Mobileye's Class A common stock, or 5% of the shares offered by the company in the IPO, were made available for purchase at the same $21 per share IPO price available to the general public. The following directors and executive officers (as defined in the SEC rules) made purchases in excess of $120,000: Patrick P. Gelsinger, James J. Goetz, Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Dr. Omar Ishrak, Lip-Bu Tan, and Frank Yeary. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC administered the program.

**Code of Conduct**

Our Code of Conduct applies to our non-employee directors with respect to their Intel-related activities, as well as to our executive officers and all other employees. We expect our directors, executives, and other employees to avoid any activity that is or has the appearance of being a conflict of interest with Intel. This includes not engaging in activities that compete with or are adverse to Intel, or that interfere with the proper performance of duties or responsibilities to Intel, and not using confidential company information, company assets, or their position at Intel for personal gain in violation of our policy.

Directors and executive officers must inform us of any situation that may be perceived as a conflict of interest with Intel, and the Board oversees the resolution of any potential conflicts. The Board oversees resolution of any conflict or apparent conflict involving a director or executive officer, and may enlist the Legal Department to determine whether a conflict exists, and if so, how to resolve it. Any waivers of these conflict rules with regard to a director or an executive officer require the prior approval of the Board. Our Code of Conduct is our code-of-ethics document. Our Code of Conduct is posted on our website at **www.intel.com**. We will disclose future amendments to certain portions of the Code of Conduct or waivers of such provisions granted to directors and executive officers on our website within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.

---

The Audit & Finance Committee evaluates the selection of independent auditors each year and has selected Ernst & Young LLP (EY) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current year. EY has served in this role since Intel was incorporated in 1968. Representatives of EY attended all meetings of the Audit & Finance Committee in 2022 except those meetings subject to attorney-client privilege.

**Independence of EY**

In order to ensure continued auditor independence, the Audit & Finance Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit & Finance Committee concluded that many factors contribute to the continued support of EY's independence, such as oversight by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) through the establishment of audit, quality, ethics, and independence standards in addition to conducting audit inspections; the mandating of reports on internal control over financial reporting; PCAOB requirements for audit partner rotation; and limitations imposed by regulation and by the Audit & Finance Committee on non-audit services provided by EY. The Audit & Finance Committee has established, and monitors, limits on the amount of non-audit services that Intel may obtain from EY. Under the auditor independence rules, EY reviews its independence each year and delivers to the Audit & Finance Committee a letter addressing matters prescribed under those rules.

**Regular Rotation of Primary Engagement Partner**

In accordance with applicable rules on partner rotation, EY's lead partner for our audit was changed in 2020, while EY's engagement quality review partner for our audit was most recently changed in 2019. The Audit & Finance Committee is involved in considering the selection of EY's primary engagement partner when there is a rotation, which is typically every five years.

**Pre-Approval Policies**

The Audit & Finance Committee pre-approves and reviews audit and non-audit services performed by EY, as well as the fees charged by EY for such services. In its pre-approval and review of non-audit service fees, the Audit & Finance Committee considers, among other factors, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditors' independence.

**Factors Considered in Deciding to Re-Engage EY**

The Audit & Finance Committee considers a number of factors in deciding whether to re-engage EY as the independent registered public accounting firm, including the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Close alignment of EY's global footprint and resources with our geographies and worldwide business activities**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ presence and depth and expertise of EY staffing both across the 150 countries in which there are required reviews and in the geographies with the greatest accounting/finance focus | &nbsp;&nbsp;**EY's high audit quality, performance, and results** <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ evaluations of the nature and quality of the communications and engagement with EY<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ quality reviews, including PCAOB inspections, "Big 4" peer reviews, and bi-annual two-way surveys (aligned to Center for Audit Quality's external assessment survey questions) | &nbsp;&nbsp;**EY's track record**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ competence in the fields of accounting and auditing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ nature of legal or disciplinary actions affecting the firm<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ commitment to diversity and inclusion |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Robust independence controls and objectivity**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ annual evaluations of independence, partner rotations, and pre-approval policies and controls<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ EY's rigorous internal process for monitoring and maintaining independence, such as internal reviews of its audit and other work; assessments of the adequacy of personnel on Intel's account; and rotations of key partners on the engagement consistent with PCAOB and SEC independence and rotation requirements<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Audit & Finance Committee involvement in and oversight of EY independence<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ EY's professional skepticism and objectivity displayed in reports/ presentations | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Benefits of longer-tenured auditor:**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Enhanced audit quality: deeper institutional knowledge and expertise, better geographic overlap + limited other options due to Intel's size, complexity, and geography<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Continuity and avoidance of switching costs: management time to bring new auditors up to speed generally, but also with respect to the hundreds of countries that require review<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ No disruption of non-audit workflows: conflicts from consulting contracts on other matters<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Competitive fees: due to efficiencies and familiarity | &nbsp;&nbsp;**EY's deep institutional company-industry knowledge, experience, and expertise**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ EY's and key engagement team members' extensive professional qualifications, experience, and expertise<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ EY's depth and breadth of understanding of the technology and semiconductor industries, and Intel's unique business model (global integrated device manufacturer and foundry service provider), and complex accounting policies and practices  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Length of EY's service**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ potential positive and negative impact on independence and objectivity<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ more effective audit plans and better audit service quality and productivity offered by EY due to greater familiarity with the industry, business, segments, and policies and procedures | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Impact of engaging a new auditor**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ significant costs, time commitments, disruption to continuity, and distraction of management associated with bringing on and extensively educating a new auditor<br>**Appropriateness of EY's fees**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ EY's longer tenure offers us an efficient fee structure and more competitive fees relative to our peers as supported by benchmarking and reviews | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Non-audit service projects performed by other multinational public accounting and auditing firms**<br>▪ nature, scope, length, complexity, required knowledge and cost of non-audit services provided by the other public accounting firms <br>▪ impact (e.g., significant disruption, lost cumulative knowledge, time to properly onboard, and higher fees) of any needed changes to such service providers from a change in our independent auditor |

---

Based on the factors listed above, the Audit & Finance Committee and Board believe that the continued retention of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the company and our stockholders.

**Why We Are Asking Stockholders to Ratify Our Selection of EY**

As a matter of good corporate governance, the Board submits the selection of the independent audit firm to our stockholders for ratification. If the selection of EY is not ratified by a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy during the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, the Audit & Finance Committee will review its future

selection of an independent registered public accounting firm in light of that vote result. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit & Finance Committee in its discretion may appoint a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the committee determines that such a change would be appropriate.

**EY Expected to Attend Annual Meeting**

We expect that a representative of EY will attend the annual meeting, and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

For additional information concerning the Audit & Finance Committee and its activities with EY, see "Corporate Governance; Board Responsibilities and Committees; Board Committees; Audit & Finance Committee" on **page [46](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_115)** and "Report of the Audit & Finance Committee" on **page [65](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_187)** of this proxy statement.

The following table shows the fees billed by EY for audit services provided for, and other services provided in, fiscal years 2022 and 2021. All figures are net of value-added tax and other similar taxes assessed by non-US jurisdictions on the amount billed by EY.

**Report of the Audit & Finance Committee**

During 2022, only non-management directors comprised the Audit & Finance Committee. The Board determined that each member of the Audit & Finance Committee is independent under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Audit & Finance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. As described more fully in its charter, the purpose of the Audit & Finance Committee is to assist the Board in its general oversight of Intel's accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of the financial statements, internal control and audit functions, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and ethical standards adopted by the company. In addition, the Audit & Finance Committee represents and assists the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the company's: worldwide treasury activities; financing requirements; capital structure and capital allocation strategies; insurance programs; and tax strategies and compliance.

**Management Responsibilities**

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of Intel's financial statements; accounting and financial reporting principles; internal controls; and procedures designed to reasonably assure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations, and the company's ethical standards. Intel has a full-time Internal Audit department that reports to the Audit & Finance Committee and to management. This department is responsible for objectively reviewing and evaluating the adequacy, effectiveness, and quality of Intel's system of internal controls related to, for example, the reliability and integrity of Intel's financial information and the safeguarding of Intel's assets.

**Independent Auditor Responsibilities**

EY, Intel's independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of Intel's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Intel's internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with applicable law, the Audit & Finance Committee has ultimate authority and responsibility for selecting, compensating, evaluating, and, when appropriate, replacing Intel's independent audit firm, and evaluates its independence. The Audit & Finance Committee has the authority to engage its own outside advisors, including experts in particular areas of accounting, as it determines appropriate, apart from counsel or advisors hired by management.

**Committee Responsibilities**

Audit & Finance Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent audit firm; nor can the Audit & Finance Committee certify that the independent audit firm is "independent" under applicable rules. The Audit & Finance Committee serves a Board-level oversight role in which it helps establish the appropriate "tone at the top" and provides advice, counsel, and direction to management and to the auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the auditors, and the experience of the Audit & Finance Committee members in business, financial, and accounting matters.

**Committee Oversight of Financial Reporting**

The Audit & Finance Committee's agenda for the year includes reviewing Intel's financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, and audit and other matters. The Audit & Finance Committee meets each quarter with EY, Intel's Chief Audit Executive, and management to review Intel's interim financial results (including the use of any non-GAAP measures) before the publication of Intel's quarterly earnings releases. Management's and the independent audit firm's presentations to, and discussions with, the Audit & Finance Committee cover various topics and events that may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions between management and the independent audit firm (including, for example, significant accounting policy changes). The Audit & Finance Committee reviews and discusses with management and the Chief Audit Executive Intel's major financial risk exposures and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. In accordance with applicable law, the Audit & Finance Committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by Intel regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, including confidential, anonymous submissions by Intel's employees, received through established procedures, of any concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

**Committee Oversight of Internal Auditor and Independent Audit Firm**

Among other matters, the Audit & Finance Committee monitors the activities and performance of Intel's internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including the audit scope, external audit fees, auditor independence matters, and the extent to which the independent audit firm can be retained to perform non-audit services.

In accordance with Audit & Finance Committee policy and legal requirements, the Audit & Finance Committee pre-approves all services to be provided by EY, including audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. In some cases, the full Audit & Finance Committee provides pre-approval for as long as a year related to a particular category of service, or a particular defined scope of work subject to a specific budget. In other cases, the Audit & Finance Committee has delegated authority to its chair to pre-approve additional services, and the chair then communicates such pre-approvals to the full Audit & Finance Committee. The Audit & Finance Committee is responsible for overseeing the fee negotiations associated with the retention of our independent audit firm. The Audit & Finance Committee believes that the continued retention of EY as our independent audit firm is in the best interests of our stockholders.

**Committee Oversight of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

The Audit & Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed with management, our management's assessment of and report on the effectiveness of Intel's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, which it made based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). The Audit & Finance Committee also has reviewed and discussed with EY its review and report on Intel's internal control over financial reporting. Intel published these reports in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which Intel filed with the SEC on January 27, 2023.

**Required Committee Discussions and Communications**

The Audit & Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2022 with management and EY, and management represented to the Audit & Finance Committee that Intel's audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Audit & Finance Committee has discussed with EY, and EY represented that its presentations to the Audit & Finance Committee included, the matters required to be discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm by applicable PCAOB and SEC rules. This review included a discussion with management and EY of the quality, not merely the acceptability, of Intel's accounting policies, the reasonableness of significant estimates and judgments, and the clarity of disclosure in Intel's financial statements, including the disclosures related to critical accounting estimates and critical audit matters. EY has provided the Audit & Finance Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit & Finance Committee concerning independence, and the Audit & Finance Committee has discussed with the independent audit firm and management that firm's independence.

**Recommendation**

In reliance on these reviews and discussions, and the reports of EY, the Audit & Finance Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in Intel's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

---

We are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the executive compensation of Intel's NEOs disclosed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the Summary Compensation Table, and the related compensation tables, notes, and narrative in this proxy statement.

**Background**

As a matter of good corporate governance, in 2009 Intel voluntarily began to provide stockholders with an advisory Say-on-Pay vote on executive compensation. Beginning in 2011, Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, made this practice mandatory for US public companies. In addition, at Intel's 2017 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, a majority of our stockholders voted in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve the executive compensation of our NEOs every year. The Board considered these voting results and decided to adopt (and maintain) a policy providing for an annual advisory stockholder vote to approve our NEOs' compensation. We are therefore holding this year's advisory vote in accordance with this policy.

**Why You Should Support This Proposal**

Intel's executive compensation programs are designed to support its business goals and promote our short-term and long-term profitable growth. Intel's equity plans are intended to align the compensation of our NEOs with the long-term interests of our stockholders. We encourage stockholders to read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and practices operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives. We also encourage our stockholders to review the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narratives, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our NEOs. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the policies and practices described and explained in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" reflect our competitive pay positioning strategy, emphasis on incentive-driven pay, and effective use of goals aligned with our business strategy, and that the compensation of our NEOs reported in this proxy statement is appropriately tied to our financial, operational, and stock price performance, supports our commitment to strong compensation governance, and provides market-based opportunities to attract, retain, and motivate our executive officers in an intensely competitive market for qualified talent.

**How We Consider Stockholder Feedback**

Although this advisory vote to approve the executive compensation of our NEOs is non-binding, the Compensation Committee will carefully assess the voting results. The "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" in this proxy statement discusses our stockholder engagement efforts over the past year, including how we sought to understand and respond to last year's low Say-on-Pay vote results, and reflects our commitment to consult directly with stockholders to better understand any significant views expressed in the context of matters voted upon at our annual stockholders' meetings.

Assuming our stockholders again vote for an annual frequency of holding Say-on-Pay advisory votes, the next Say-on-Pay advisory vote will occur at the 2024 Annual Stockholders' Meeting.

Letter from the Compensation Committee

**Dear Fellow Stockholders, The Compensation Committee of the Board is committed to aligning our executive compensation programs with our strategy to accelerate Intel's transformation and create long-term stockholder value. Following low support for our 2022 Say-on-Pay vote, we took decisive action to understand and respond to stockholder feedback. As part of a broader rotation of committee roles on the Board, we also reconstituted the Committee, adding two new members who bring fresh perspectives to our work. We are confident the changes to the compensation programs that the Committee made in 2022 address stockholder concerns and support our business objectives.** 

**Deliberate Engagement and Responsiveness to Address Stockholder Concerns**

The Committee was disappointed in the outcome of the 2022 Say-on-Pay vote and our work over the last year was intensely focused on understanding and addressing the underlying concerns and perspectives of our stockholders. In the months following the 2022 Say-on-Pay vote, the Committee executed an expanded engagement program designed specifically around compensation with the goal of identifying and promptly implementing changes that would be responsive to stockholder feedback. The engagement process involved reaching out to stockholders representing approximately 75% of our institutionally-held shares and holding meetings with stockholders representing over 50% of our institutionally-held shares. Dion Weisler, Chair of the Committee, led meetings with stockholders representing over 40% of our institutionally-held shares. Our stockholders are diverse, and we appreciated the candid and constructive feedback we received that reflected their diverse perspectives. Following these meetings, the Committee acted decisively to implement a set of comprehensive changes in response to stockholder feedback that we disclosed publicly in November 2022, including:

▪ Changing CEO Pat Gelsinger's 2021 new-hire awards to increase the rigor for core components of the awards and make them more challenging to achieve;

▪ Adjusting our long-term incentive program to increase the weighting of PSUs and revise the vesting schedule for RSUs, among other changes; and

▪ Making forward-looking commitments and further enhancements to our compensation-related disclosures.

These changes are detailed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this proxy statement, and we encourage you to review the alignment between the feedback we received and the actions we have taken. In discussions with stockholders, we consistently heard affirmation that these were the right changes to address their concerns. We are confident that these changes directly address the feedback we received from stockholders and further set the foundation for strong alignment between pay and performance going forward. We will continue to engage with our stockholders on an ongoing basis and consider feedback when making decisions about our executive compensation programs.

**Continued Alignment of Executive Compensation with Strategic Transformation**

Within the context of our strategic transformation and performance, we are closely monitoring the efficacy of changes that we had made to the executive compensation programs for fiscal year 2022 based on extensive stockholder feedback provided in 2021. Changes to the compensation programs for all NEOs that first took effect last year included introducing greater rigor and variability into annual cash bonus payouts through the adoption of four equally weighted metrics (two financial metrics, one set of operational goals, and individual objectives and key results for our NEOs other than our CEO) and redesigning

our Performance Stock Unit awards to reflect our transformation strategy. We have found that these key changes further aligned our executive compensation programs to our go-forward strategy, strengthened their pay-for-performance linkage, provided better alignment with technology peer industry practices, and continued our leadership in oversight of environmental and social issues that are significant for our business. These changes combined with the changes made in response to recent stockholder feedback ensure that our CEO's ongoing compensation program is rigorous, set at an appropriate level targeted at the median of our peers, and reflective of best practices.

Intel also appointed several new NEOs as we built out the team to affect our transformation. The Committee was closely involved in reviewing and establishing new-hire compensation packages that would secure key leadership talent in the midst of a highly competitive market at the time of their hire. We designed awards that accounted for some, though not the entire value that these executives forfeited at their prior employers, while providing appropriate guardrails that protect stockholders, including forfeiture and repayment provisions in the event of termination of employment.

**Making Difficult Decisions to Support Our Business**

In early 2023, with support from our senior leadership team and the Committee, the difficult decision was made to reduce pay for a significant portion of our employee base, from mid-level employees through our senior leadership team, with our CEO taking a 25% reduction in base salary. The Board has likewise decided to take a 25% reduction to our Board cash retainer, including the additional cash retainer paid to the Board's Chair. These changes further our efforts to reduce costs as we continue to navigate macroeconomic headwinds. The decision was made to reduce pay in a manner that will help support the investments and overall workforce needed to accelerate our transformation and achieve our long-term strategy.

**Committee Refreshment**

![intc-20230327_g7.jpg](intc-20230327_g7.jpg) The Committee is a firm believer in the importance of ongoing rotation that brings in fresh perspectives while ensuring that we have directors who have the expertise to provide strong oversight of all aspects of our executive compensation programs. To that end, we are pleased to share that the Committee has added two new directors who bring differentiated expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives to our oversight role – Barbara Novick, co-founder and former Vice-Chairman at BlackRock, and James Goetz, a partner at Sequoia Capital. Two directors rotated off the committee, and we thank Omar Ishrak and Alyssa Henry for their service.

The Committee considers our executive compensation programs to be a key lever for accelerating progress on Intel's strategic transformation, and we welcome continued dialogue with our stockholders regarding Intel's compensation programs. We appreciate your support and investment in Intel.

Sincerely,

**The Compensation Committee**

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This section of the proxy statement explains how the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees our executive compensation programs, and discusses the compensation earned by Intel's named executive officers (NEOs), as presented in the "Executive Compensation Tables" section.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis has been organized into three sections:

▪ **Executive Summary** – Provides an overview of our executive compensation programs, highlighting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Stockholder responsiveness.** In response to stockholder feedback, we implemented substantial and significant changes to our executive compensation programs, including increasing the rigor of our CEO new-hire equity awards and making them more challenging to achieve and making a number of forward-looking commitments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Deliberate engagement.** The Compensation Committee led a deliberate stockholder engagement program designed specifically around compensation that identified and shaped the changes in response to stockholder feedback

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Competitive new-hire packages.** Our new-hire packages are market competitive and reflect what was needed to bring in talent; the new-hire awards for our NEOs were entirely make-whole awards designed solely to replace compensation opportunities from the executives' prior employment - though both new hires forfeited substantial compensation from their prior employer that we did not make whole

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Pay-for-performance alignment.** Our executive compensation programs are designed to link pay to performance and recent performance-based pay outcomes demonstrate our commitment to pay for performance: our 2020 PSUs, tied to goals not aligned with our transformation strategy, did not pay out; our annual cash bonus plan paid out at less than 50% of target; and the performance-based components of our CEO new-hire equity awards currently have no "in the money" value

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Normalized ongoing CEO compensation.** Our CEO's ongoing compensation opportunity is targeted at median of peers, reflects best practices, and has rigorous targets with outcomes aligned to our performance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **2023 compensation reflects macroeconomic headwinds**. Our CEO's and other NEOs' base salaries have been reduced 25% and 15%, respectively for 2023 alongside reductions for other employees, reflecting the need to cut costs in the current operating environment

▪ **2022 Compensation of Our NEOs** - Details our compensation philosophy and framework, design of pay programs that tie pay and performance, and individual compensation of our NEOs and 2022 pay outcomes

▪ **Other Aspects of Our Executive Compensation Programs** - Provides a summary of the 2023 NEO compensation programs and details on other policies and practices related to our executive compensation programs

**Executive Summary**

**Stockholder Engagement Shaped Our Response to the 2022 Say-on-Pay Vote**

Following our 2022 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, at which the Say-on-Pay vote received only 34% support, the Compensation Committee developed a deliberate engagement program designed specifically around compensation with the goal of promptly implementing changes that would be responsive to stockholder feedback.

The below table includes a detailed summary of the feedback we heard from stockholders, and the actions we took to enhance our executive compensation programs, respond to stockholder concerns, and ensure the programs are aligned with stockholder expectations moving forward.

| **What We Heard From Stockholders** | **Our Perspective / How We Responded** | **Effective As Of** |
| **CEO New-Hire Equity Awards** | **CEO New-Hire Equity Awards** | **CEO New-Hire Equity Awards** |
| **Structure of Awards:**<br>▪ Questions around the rigor of the performance hurdle for the performance-based stock options relative to the magnitude of pay opportunity if the awards were earned<br>▪ Questions around the design of the new-hire performance awards relative to their magnitude, with particular concerns around whether the sustained performance period for the stock price hurdles was sufficiently long-term relative to the magnitude of pay opportunity if the awards were earned | The Compensation Committee, in agreement with our CEO, amended three of the CEO's new-hire equity awards tied to stock price growth to further strengthen the alignment of the CEO's new hire awards with his commitment to long-term stockholder value creation:<br>▪ **Increased the stock price hurdle from 30% to 50%** of the baseline stock price over five years for Performance Stock Options (requiring a stock price of $74.47 (previously $64.54) to be exercisable)<br>▪ **Lengthened the period that stock price must be maintained at /above the stock price hurdle from 30-consecutive trading days to 90 calendar days** (which is generally 60 or more consecutive trading days) for Performance Stock Options, Strategic Growth PSUs, and Outperformance PSUs<br>▪ **Lengthened the period threshold stock price must be maintained at the end of the five-year performance period from 30-consecutive trading days to 90 calendar days** (which is generally 60 or more consecutive trading days) for Strategic Growth PSUs to vest in the full possible payout<br>▪ Removed the ability for a portion of the Strategic Growth PSUs and Outperformance PSUs to vest and be paid on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. **Both PSU awards will now only be paid out after five years**, subject to performance<br>These changes make the awards meaningfully more challenging to achieve and ensure that, if the full magnitude of the awards is earned, it will be based on strong performance over the entire five-year period. Positive feedback provided from stockholders regarding the changes made to the awards affirmed the Compensation Committee's understanding that the increased rigor of the awards addressed stockholder concerns about the relationship between pay magnitude and the structure of the awards (see Appendix B on **page B-[1](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5104)** for update on the CEO new-hire equity awards). | **Immediately** |

| **What We Heard From Stockholders** | **Our Perspective / How We Responded** | **Effective As Of** |
| **Long-Term Incentive Design** | **Long-Term Incentive Design** | **Long-Term Incentive Design** |
| **Equity Mix:**<br>▪ Desire for the majority of the long-term incentive equity awards granted to NEOs be performance based | ▪ Committed to adjust the long-term incentive equity award mix for NEOs other than our CEO beginning in 2023 to 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs (from 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs), so that the majority of equity awards granted to all NEOs under the long-term incentive program are performance-based PSU awards; our CEO's mix remains 80% PSUs and 20% RSUs | **2023 Awards** |
| **Cap on PSU Payout:**<br>▪ Consider adding a cap when our TSR was negative | ▪ Committed to add a cap at target on the total payout under our PSU awards beginning with the 2023 awards in the event our absolute TSR is negative over the performance period | **2023 Awards** |
| **PSU Goal Setting:**<br>▪ Preference for long-term performance goals under the PSU program rather than goals with annual objectives<br>▪ Indicated an understanding of the challenges in doing so immediately | ▪ Committed to returning to multi-year performance goals for PSUs. We are in the middle of a major transformation, and the design element of having goals with annual objectives for two of the PSU financial metrics provide the Compensation Committee the ability to be flexible and agile, thereby helping manage the business in our current environment. While the Compensation Committee feels it is important and appropriate to continue to use annual objectives for the near-term, the Committee understands investor concerns and is committed to return to multi-year goals no later than 2025 | **No later than 2025** |
| **RSU Vesting Schedule:**<br>▪ Desire for annual vesting for RSUs for our NEOs | ▪ Committed to change the RSU vesting from twelve quarterly dates to three annual vesting dates beginning with 2023 awards | **2023 Awards** |
| **Quarterly Performance Bonus Program** | **Quarterly Performance Bonus Program** | **Quarterly Performance Bonus Program** |
| **Removal of NEOs:**<br>▪ Would like to see NEOs removed from participating in quarterly incentive cash program | ▪ Removed NEOs from participation in the long-established company-wide quarterly incentive cash program that accounted for less than one percent of our NEOs' total direct compensation  | **January 1, 2022 for CEO; January 1, 2023 for other NEOs** |
| **Commitments and Enhanced Disclosure** | **Commitments and Enhanced Disclosure** | **Commitments and Enhanced Disclosure** |
| **Modification of Goals:**<br>▪ Expressed strong disfavor that we modified the 2021 annual cash incentive plan goals without limiting the payout opportunity | ▪ Clarified to stockholders the rationale for the 2021 modification was the hire of a new CEO and a transformational business strategy impacting the performance goals for 2021<br>▪ Committed that in the unlikely event that in-progress performance goals were modified in the future, payouts would be capped at target of the revised goals | **Immediately** |

| **Appropriate Comparator Index:**<br>▪ Conflicting views regarding the appropriate comparator index for relative TSR metric under our PSU program | ▪ While most of the feedback received on the topics reflected widely held or consensus views among stockholders, we encountered conflicting views from stockholders on what would be the most appropriate comparator index to use in assessing relative TSR performance, with several stockholders encouraging us to maintain the current index and several stockholders suggesting a variety of potential alternatives <br>▪ We therefore committed to continue to annually assess the appropriate index under the PSU program if a TSR metric is used and to continue to solicit stockholder input around compensation designs for our NEOs.

**Update on CEO New-Hire Equity Awards**

In 2021, our CEO received a package of new-hire equity awards intended to induce him to join Intel, replace forfeited equity at his prior employer, and align his incentives with stockholders. The majority of the awards require significant value creation in order to vest, and in late 2022, the Compensation Committee amended the terms of these awards that were subject to stock price growth to make them even more challenging to achieve in response to stockholder feedback. These changes increase the rigor of certain performance threshold, vesting timeline, and stock price sustainment period components of the awards, to ensure that, if the full magnitude of the awards is earned, it will be based on strong company performance over the five-year period. These awards will only deliver economic value to our CEO upon achievement of even more significant performance hurdles, as amended. As of December 31, 2022, our stock price was materially below the price initially used to set the new-hire equity award thresholds. Appendix B on **page B-[1](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5104)** details the current status of these awards, as well as the increase to stock price and market cap that would be required for threshold vesting.

| ![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg) | **Our New Leadership Team** |

---

Over the past year, the company continued to add highly experienced engineering and executive talent to accelerate Intel's transformation. The company made a number of key changes to our leadership and executive team in 2022 to best position Intel to execute on our strategy:

▪ **David Zinsner** joined Intel as our new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on January 17, 2022, overseeing Intel's global finance organization. Mr. Zinsner has more than 20 years of financial and operational experience in semiconductors and manufacturing, including most recently as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Micron Technology, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Make-Whole Compensation.** As previously disclosed, Mr. Zinsner was granted a make-whole award of $19,000,000 in the form of equity awards and a cash bonus, which represents less than the approximately $22,000,000 he forfeited from his prior employer. Additional details regarding Mr. Zinsner's make-whole payments are summarized in Appendix B on **page B-[2](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5110)**. This make-whole award was composed of approximately $12,000,000 in RSUs vesting annually over three years, PSUs with a target value of approximately $5,000,000 (identical to the PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2022), and a cash bonus of $2,000,000. He will forfeit the unvested portion of his make-whole equity awards in the event his employment is terminated for any reason (other than death or disability) within the first three years of employment with us. He must repay the cash bonus on a prorated basis in the event he voluntarily terminates his employment or is terminated by Intel for cause within two years of the payment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **No Inducement Awards.** Mr. Zinsner did not receive any inducement awards as part of his new-hire equity awards.

▪ **Christoph Schell** joined Intel as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer on March 14, 2022 to lead our Sales, Marketing and Communications Group. Mr. Schell has a track record of driving innovative and disruptive go-to-market strategies around the globe, most recently serving as Chief Commercial Officer at HP Inc. He brings expertise in understanding business segments; verticals and solutions; and services customers want.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Make-Whole Compensation.** Mr. Schell was provided a new-hire, make-whole cash award of $20,000,000, which represents less than the approximately $33,000,000 he forfeited from his prior employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Mr. Schell joined Intel shortly before he otherwise would have vested in a significant amount of equity awards at his prior employer, and it was necessary to offer an amount that would enable him to make the transition without undue delay or inequity. In recognition that the amount Intel offered represented only a portion of the amount Mr. Schell was forfeiting to join Intel and to provide certainty of liquidity for the awards, he was provided these partial make-whole awards in cash rather than equity. The amount of the new hire cash bonus reflects the value of Mr. Schell's time-based RSUs that would have vested in 2022 if he had stayed with his prior employer, with a large portion of the RSUs expected to vest by July 2022. Additional details regarding Mr. Schell's make-whole payments are summarized in Appendix B on **page B-[2](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5118)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ $5,000,000 was paid to Mr. Schell within 30 days of his start date with the company and the remaining $15,000,000 was paid within 30 days following July 1, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ These make-whole payments must be repaid on a prorated basis in the event he voluntarily terminates his employment or is terminated by Intel for cause within two years of the payment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **No Inducement Awards.** Mr. Schell did not receive any inducement awards as part of his new-hire awards.

▪ **Michelle Johnston Holthaus** was promoted to Executive Vice President and General Manager, Client Computing Group on March 14, 2022. Ms. Johnston Holthaus is a 25-year Intel veteran who brings a deep understanding of Intel's customers

and the client computing business based on her prior leadership role as the head of the Sales, Marketing and Communications Group.

▪ **April Miller Boise** joined Intel as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer on July 6, 2022, to lead the Legal, Trade, and Government Affairs team. Ms. Miller Boise is a skilled executive, attorney, and innovative business leader who brings deep expertise across a number of areas including corporate governance, policy, and global transactions, and more than 25 years of legal experience in global markets and manufacturing, most recently serving as the Chief Legal Officer at Eaton Corporation.

Each of these executives receives a standard annual compensation package that is described in more detail in the following sections.

In May 2022, George Davis retired from Intel, and he stepped down as Chief Financial Officer effective January 17, 2022. Mr. Davis is a NEO for 2022 due to his service as Executive Vice President and CFO during fiscal year 2022, but he is not a current Intel executive officer.

**Business Performance and Pay** 

**2022**

Our revenue and related financial results were lower in 2022, impacted by an uncertain macroeconomic environment, with slowing consumer and enterprise demand, persistent inflation, and higher interest rates, which we believe impacted our target markets and created a high level of uncertainty with our customers. We expect the macroeconomic uncertainty and the challenging market environment will extend into 2023. Our 2022 revenue and related financial results were also impacted by the divestiture of our NAND business.

**2022 vs. 2021**

Results shown below are our reported GAAP results:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2021** | **Change** |
| Revenue | $63.1 billon | $79.0 billion | down 20% |
| Gross margin | 42.6% | 55.4% | down 12.8 ppt |
| Operating income | $2.3 billion | $19.5 billion | down 88% |
| Net income | $8.0 billion | $19.9 billion | down 60% |
| Earnings per share- diluted | $1.94 | $4.86 | down 60% |

For key highlights of the results of our operations, see "Proxy Statement Highlights; A Year in Review" on **page [7](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_19)**. In addition, details regarding ESG performance can be found in "Environmental and Social Initiatives" on **page [22](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_4497)** and "Corporate Responsibility/ ESG" on **page [55](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_136)**.

**Incentive Program Results**

As discussed in greater detail below in "2022 Compensation of Our NEOs" on **page [80](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_238)**, our 2022 executive compensation programs were structured to provide strong pay-for-performance alignment as evidenced by recent payouts. As shown on the following table, **below-threshold performance on revenue and gross margin percentage contributed to below-target short-term incentive payouts.** 

**Similarly, none of the PSUs granted in 2020 with a three-year performance period were earned** at the end of the performance period in 2022 as a result of below-threshold performance on the two financial metrics, relative TSR and EPS growth percentage.

**2023 NEO COMPENSATION CHANGES** 

Following extensive stockholder engagement, and a thorough analysis of the needs of our business, the Compensation Committee approved several key changes to our 2023 compensation programs (previously described in the section titled "Stockholder Engagement Shaped Our Response to the 2022 Say-on-Pay Vote" above). These changes were designed to further align compensation to our strategy, strengthen our pay-for-performance linkage, provide further alignment with stockholders' long-term interests, and meet the cost cutting needs of our company given the continued macro-economic headwinds we face.

▪ **Quarterly Incentive Cash Program**: The Compensation Committee removed the NEOs from participation in Intel's company-wide quarterly incentive cash program, effective January 1, 2022 for Mr. Gelsinger, and effective January 1, 2023 for all other NEOs.

▪ **Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Equity Program Design**: The Compensation Committee redesigned the LTI equity program to reflect stockholder input, increasing the weighting of PSUs to 60% for our NEOs other than our CEO (who remained at 80% PSUs), incorporating a payout cap at target for PSUs in the event Intel's absolute TSR is negative, and moving to annual vesting over three years for RSUs.

▪ **Reductions in Base Salary and Target Bonus**: The Compensation Committee, with the support of our senior management team, made the decision to temporarily reduce base salaries for our CEO and NEOs 25% and 15%, respectively, with 2023 target bonuses based on the new blended salaries (certain months at prior salary and certain months at reduced salary).

Prior to making the temporary base salary adjustments, we had continued to conduct extensive market benchmarking and had **positioned our CEO's target total direct compensation to approximate the median of our peer group's CEO compensation**.

The section titled "2023 NEO Compensation Changes and Pay Overview" on **page [94](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5358)** provides additional detail on our 2023 programs, including a table that lists each of the pay elements.

**Intel's Executive Compensation Best Practices**

Intel has long employed a number of practices that reflect the company's commitment to good compensation governance:

Our strong governance practices extend beyond our executive compensation programs. With respect to our company-wide compensation and human capital management practices, we focus on continuing to build an inclusive culture and advancing pay equity. See "Proxy Statement Highlights; Our Capital; Human Capital" on **page [11](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5935)** and "Proxy Statement Highlights; Human Capital Management" on **page [23](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5608)** for details of our human capital management practices. We also perform an annual review of our compensation programs to assess whether the programs' provisions and operations create undesired or unintentional material risk. For 2022, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. See "Corporate Governance Matters; Board's Role in Risk Oversight at Intel" on **page [42](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_88)** for details on the compensation-related risk assessments.

**2022 Compensation of Our NEOs**

**Pay Philosophy and Elements of Compensation** 

The principal elements of our pay-for-performance philosophy include a competitive pay positioning strategy, a heavy emphasis on incentive-driven pay, and goals that are appropriately aligned with our business strategy (in terms of both selection and attainability), as evidenced by the following program components.

▪ The competition for executive talent in the technology sector continued to intensify through a multi-year cycle that brought advanced nodes to market, expanded chip use-cases, and new entrants to semiconductor design and manufacturing. In addition to continuing to compete for talent against other successful, established technology companies, we increasingly face an even more competitive landscape as some of our largest customers have begun using their own silicon designs and as a wide range of smaller, high-growth companies focused on emerging technologies continue to develop. The Compensation Committee believes that a competitive, target total direct compensation opportunity is critical to attract, retain, and reward the executive talent crucial to driving value for our stockholders. To that end, total compensation is designed to be competitive with a peer group of companies all vying for the top technical and leadership talent in the world. Adjustments to each individual's pay position take into account our desire to compensate our executive officers based upon performance, criticality of role, and experience, while fairly balancing internal and external pay equity considerations among executive roles.

▪ Total direct compensation opportunities are designed so that a substantial portion of executive pay is variable or "at risk," based primarily on specific financial metrics or stock price performance over the long term.

▪ To further align our executive officers' interests with those of our stockholders, the Compensation Committee has structured compensation so that the proportion of variable cash and equity-based pay increases with higher levels of responsibility.

▪ By using financial, operational, and stock price measures such as revenue, gross margin, cash flows from operations, One Intel goals, and TSR, our incentive plans provide a clear and quantifiable link to operational performance with the goal of creating long-term stockholder value.

Our executive compensation elements for 2022 included base salary, an annual cash bonus, long-term incentive equity awards consisting of RSUs and PSUs, and for NEOs other than our CEO, a quarterly cash bonus. Details of each of these pay elements are provided below in "2022 Cash Compensation" on **page [82](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_256)** and "2022 Equity Incentives" on **page [92](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_280)**.

We also provide a competitive benefits package that includes health care, retirement benefits, financial planning, life insurance, and other programs that are designed to allow our executive officers to maximize time and attention on activities designed to increase stockholder value.

We believe that the sum of these components provides highly motivational incentives that link the pay of our executive officers to the performance of our company and enables Intel to attract and retain the very best talent in a highly competitive market.

**Intel's Executive Compensation Governance Process** 

The Compensation Committee determines the compensation for our executive officers. It also designs executive officer compensation programs and reviews and determines all components of each executive officer's compensation. The Committee consults an independent compensation consultant. See below in "Use of Compensation Consultant" for more information. The Compensation Committee also consults with management and Intel's Compensation and Benefits Group regarding executive and non-executive employee compensation plans and programs, including administration of our equity incentive plans. Our Compensation Committee Chair, Dion Weisler, regularly meets with stockholders to understand their perspectives and shares their feedback with the Compensation Committee and full Board to inform compensation decisions.

Executive officers do not propose or seek approval for their own compensation. Our CEO makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee on the base salary, annual incentive cash compensation targets, and equity awards for each executive officer other than himself, based on his assessment of each executive officer's performance during the year and our CEO's review of, among other things, competitive data gathered from peer group data and executive compensation surveys. Our CEO documents each executive officer's performance during the year, detailing accomplishments, areas of strength, and areas for development. He then bases his evaluation on his knowledge of the executive officer's performance, a self-assessment completed by the executive officer, and input from employees who report directly to the executive officer. Intel's Chief People Officer and the Compensation and Benefits Group assist our CEO in developing the executive officers' performance reviews and reviewing market compensation data to determine the compensation recommendations.

**Table of Contents**

Annual performance reviews of our CEO are conducted by the non-employee directors acting as a committee of the whole Board. For our CEO's review, formal input is received from the non-employee directors and senior management. Our CEO also submits a self-assessment focused on pre-established objectives agreed upon with the Board. The non-employee directors meet as a group in executive sessions to prepare the review, which is completed and presented to our CEO. The Compensation Committee uses this evaluation to determine in executive session our CEO's base salary, annual incentive cash compensation target, and equity awards.

Performance reviews for our CEO and our other executive officers consider these and other relevant topics that may vary depending on the role of the individual officer:

▪ **Strategic Capability**. How well does the executive officer identify and develop relevant business strategies and plans?

▪ **Execution**. How well does the executive officer execute strategies and plans?

▪ **Leadership Capability**. How well does the executive officer lead and develop the organization and people?

▪ **Cultural Attributes**. How well does the executive officer demonstrate strong cultural attributes?

**Use of Independent Compensation Consultant**

The Compensation Committee engaged Compensia throughout 2022 as its independent executive compensation consultant.

During 2022, Compensia's work with the Compensation Committee included advice, analysis, and recommendations on:

▪ total compensation philosophy;

▪ program design, including program goals, components, and metrics;

▪ compensation trends in the technology sector and in the general marketplace for senior executives;

▪ regulatory trends;

▪ compensation of our CEO (including changes to the CEO's new-hire equity awards) and the other executive officers; and

▪ stockholder engagement efforts.

The consultant reported directly to the Compensation Committee and interacted with management at the committee's direction. Compensia did not perform work for Intel in 2022 except under its engagement by the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (advising on director compensation). The Compensation Committee assessed its consultant under factors set forth in the SEC's rules and concluded that Compensia was independent, and that the firm's work in 2022 for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

Beginning in 2023, the Compensation Committee has appointed a new independent compensation consultant, Semler Brossy.

**External Competitive Considerations for 2022** 

To assist the Compensation Committee in its review of executive compensation in early 2022, Compensia, in conjunction with Intel's Compensation and Benefits Group, provided compensation data compiled from executive compensation surveys, as well as data gathered from annual reports and proxy statements from companies that the Compensation Committee selected as a peer group for executive compensation analysis purposes. The historical compensation data was adjusted to arrive at current-year estimates for the peer group. The Compensation Committee used this data to compare the compensation of our NEOs to that of the individuals holding comparable positions at the companies in the peer group and make informed decisions.

**Peer Group**![intc-20230327_g7.jpg](intc-20230327_g7.jpg) The peer group used for benchmarking compensation is focused exclusively on technology companies, as we primarily compete for talent with other technology companies. Our 2022 compensation peer group for the first half of the year consisted of 16 technology companies. The Compensation Committee selected our peers based on size, strategic relevance, business scope and comparability, and R&D investment. The Compensation Committee focused on a pure technology peer group because of their greater relevance, the fact that pay practices at technology companies differ from those of non-technology companies, and because our talent pool movement is primarily within the technology industry. While no one individual company is a perfect match for Intel's size and business, the peer group on aggregate reflects a snapshot of the market Intel competes with for executive talent. The Compensation Committee added Micron Technologies to our peer group in July 2022 for benchmarking beginning in the fall of 2022 because of Micron's size, manufacturing capabilities, multi-segmented business operations, and focus on semiconductors. As of the end of 2022, our compensation peer group consisted of 17 technology companies.

**Summary of Our Compensation Elements**

Our NEO executive compensation programs consist of several different elements that serve to attract, retain, and motivate our executives and align pay with performance.

**2022 Cash Compensation** 

The Compensation Committee's decisions related to base salary and annual incentive cash compensation are focused on ensuring pay is aligned to the market and reflective of company and individual experience and performance. Some of the Compensation Committee's considerations include the executive officer's pay relative to the market, internal pay equity, an assessment of the executive's performance across our three key measures of results, culture and learning, criticality of role, and experience.

**Annual Incentive Cash Compensation**

In January 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the 2022 performance metrics and the goals under the Intel Corporation Executive Annual Performance Bonus Plan (Annual Cash Bonus Plan). For our CEO, the 2022 Annual Cash Bonus Plan design was as follows:

For our NEOs other than the CEO, the 2022 Annual Cash Bonus Plan design was as follows:

---

| | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Financial:<br>Revenue<br>(Non-GAAP)<br>(25%)** | ![intc-20230327_g217.jpg](intc-20230327_g217.jpg) | **Financial:<br>Gross Margin<br>Percentage<br>(Non-GAAP)<br>(25%)** | ![intc-20230327_g217.jpg](intc-20230327_g217.jpg) | **One Intel Operational Goals<br>(25%)** | ![intc-20230327_g217.jpg](intc-20230327_g217.jpg) | **Individual OKRs<br>(25%)** | ![intc-20230327_g218.jpg](intc-20230327_g218.jpg) | **Annual Cash**<br>**Bonus Plan**<br>**Payout** |

The table below shows the annual incentive cash compensation target amounts for our NEOs under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan for 2022, which were set at 275% of base salary for our CEO and 165% of base salary for the other NEOs, and compares those targets with 2021, with the exception of Ms. Johnston Holthaus and Messrs. Zinsner and Schell who were not NEOs in 2021. Mr. Davis was not eligible under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan as he retired from Intel in May 2022.

**2022 Annual Cash Bonus Plan Metrics** 

In response to stockholder feedback received after our 2021 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, we shifted the financial metrics in the Annual Cash Bonus Plan formula for 2022 to measure our revenue and gross margin performance against pre-established annual target goals. We reduced the weighting of the One Intel operational goals and added individual "Objectives and Key Results" (OKRs). A summary of the metrics and how they align to our long-term strategy is presented below.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Metric** | **CEO Weight** | **Other NEO<br>Weight** | **Why Included in our Annual Cash Bonus Plan** |
| **Revenue** | 1/3 | 25% | ▪ Aligns to our growth strategy and gives us the ability to measure our progress against our financial plans set early in the year |
| **Gross Margin Percentage**  | 1/3 | 25% | ▪ Ensures that growth is additive to the bottom line and gives us the ability to measure our progress against our financial plans set early in the year<br>▪ Metric includes a negative decelerator feature that promotes significant rigor (see "Negative Discretion" on **page [89](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_6292)**) |
| **One Intel Operational Goals** | 1/3 | 25% | ▪ Goals represent key deliverables or milestones that position the company to successfully execute our long-term strategic objectives <br>▪ Includes six operational goal categories that apply across all business groups to promote a "One Intel" mindset <br>▪ The six categories include: product leadership, scale growth engines, process efficiency and leadership, culture, inclusive business practices, and sustainability leadership. These goals are highly specific and extremely strategic. They cascade throughout our organization and are a core aspect of how we manage the company |
| **Individual OKRs**  |  | 25% | ▪ Provides ability to further promote strong execution of our strategy and drive differentiation in the plan results based on our NEOs' individual contributions to Intel during the performance period<br>▪ Each executive's performance is assessed against the individual's 2022 pre-established objectives <br>▪ Our CEO does not have an individual performance element to his Annual Cash Bonus Plan as he is ultimately accountable for the financial and operational performance of the company |

---

Each of the Annual Cash Bonus Plan metrics are measured and scored independently and then added together to determine the final Annual Cash Bonus Plan payout, subject to a 200% maximum payout.

**Financial Metrics and Goals**

The pay curves for the 2022 financial metrics have threshold, target, and maximum goals. Performance below the threshold results in zero payout for that metric. Payout between intermediate outcomes is determined by linear interpolation. The following table shows the 2022 goals for revenue and gross margin set by the Compensation Committee for the NEOs, the actual results, and the payout for each financial metric.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Metric** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** | **Actual** |
| Revenue (Non-GAAP)<sup>1</sup> | $68.4 billion | $76 billion | $80 billion | $63.1 billion |
| Payout | —% | 100% | 200% | —% |

For 2022, there was a negative decelerator for the NEOs in the event gross margin percentage results were below 50%. Accordingly, based on actual results of 47.3% gross margin, the payout resulted in -40%. The intent of this factor was to align with external commitment on gross margin and to ensure payout for the two financial metrics cannot exceed target if gross margin falls below 50%.

**One Intel Operational Goals**

As an industry leader and a catalyst for technology innovation and products that operates its own manufacturing facilities, we must focus on product development and production innovations that entail multi-year pipelines, particularly in the context of our transformational strategy. Our One Intel operational goals are established to reflect these critical business priorities and leading indicators measuring our progress toward our long-term transformational strategy. For 2022, there were six operational goal categories. The operational goals apply across all business groups to promote a "One Intel" mindset and fall into six categories: product leadership, scale growth engines, process efficiency and leadership, culture, inclusive business practices, and sustainability leadership. Within each of the six key categories, there were another three to five specific and measurable objectives.

Four of the operational categories—product leadership, scale growth engines, process efficiency and leadership, and culture—can score at target 30 points, 25 points, 25 points, and 20 points respectively, in determining the final payout. The other two operational categories—related to RISE 2030 goals of inclusive business practices and sustainability leadership—overlay the outcome of those four operational categories and together can increase the total One Intel operational score earned by a total of 20 points at target. Since 2008, we have integrated our strategy-aligned commitment to corporate responsibility into our compensation program in addition to our business operations throughout our company.

**Scoring Methodology**

The six One Intel operational categories consist of specific, measurable objectives, which together comprise a "balanced scorecard" framework for measuring our operational performance. The goals under the objectives represent key deliverables or milestones that position the company to successfully execute our long-term strategic objectives. Each of the objectives have a number of sub-goals that are weighted based on priority. A scoring factor ranging from 0x to 2x can be earned for each sub-goal, with a score of 1x indicating on-target completion of our goals. A score of 0.5 may be awarded for partial completion, whereas a score of 2x indicates exceptional achievement.

Each of the objectives is intended to be rigorous to incentivize our NEOs to achieve results that drive our long-term strategic objectives. Additionally, circumstances can change rapidly throughout the year, so results below target can still represent very meaningful progress towards our long-term strategic goals.

These objectives are reviewed and approved at the beginning of the year by the Compensation Committee. Progress against the objectives is reviewed quarterly at the executive leadership meetings and regularly shared with the Compensation Committee throughout the year. At the conclusion of the fiscal year, scores are tabulated based on performance as determined and assessed by the Chief Executive Officer and presented to the Compensation Committee for final review and approval.

**Competitive Concerns**

Certain One Intel operational goals represent highly confidential information. The company transacts business in the highly competitive semiconductor industry, and disclosure of the continued forward-looking targets and product-specific operational goals could cause irreparable competitive harm to the company by providing competitors insight into the internal goals related to the company's products and business initiatives, particularly as many of our product and technology goals are based on milestones that are part of a capital intensive, multi-year R&D effort. Disclosure would allow competitors to more effectively glean specific strategies and adjust their own operational objectives or take other measures, such as modifying the timing of competing product launches or commercialization strategies, or instituting particular sales or marketing programs, which could hinder, delay, or frustrate the achievement of the company's strategic operational objectives. We do not elsewhere publicly disclose the specifics of these operational goals that involve products that have not been qualified for production or release, cost, manufacturing targets and dates, and product release dates.

Consequently, in the table below, we have strived to provide stockholders with greater visibility into the One Intel operational goals where practical, while balancing the competitive concerns noted above. Stockholders we engaged with through our 2022 outreach meetings have provided feedback that they understand and support this balanced approach.

| **Negative Discretion** | **Evaluating One Intel Goals During a Challenging Year for Our Financial Results** |
| The Compensation Committee has confidence in the rigor and discipline of the scoring process for our One Intel operational goals and takes into consideration other relevant factors. The final performance of the One Intel operational goals resulted in a total score of 138.80% and a payout above target. While 2022 was a challenging financial year for the company, the One Intel operational goals were focused on longer term operations that facilitate the long-term strategy and by design, are not directly tied to the immediate financial results. The Compensation Committee believes the goals were appropriately calibrated and leading the company in the right direction towards the long-term path. That said, the Compensation Committee considered the NEOs' bonus payouts in the context of overall company performance and determined it was appropriate to reduce our NEOs' One Intel operational goals payout from 138.80% to 122.55%. | The Compensation Committee assessed the company's performance against the One Intel operational goals in the context of our overall performance, including performance against our revenue and gross margin goals. While our revenue and gross margin goals are intended to assess performance in a given year, the One-Intel operational goals serve a different purpose—to assess our performance against key deliverables or milestones that position the company to successfully execute our long-term strategic objectives, and to drive revenue, gross margin, and stockholder value creation in future years. While 2022 was a challenging financial year for the company, the Compensation Committee does not believe it is inconsistent to have performed below threshold against our financial goals but above target against our goals that tie to the longer term, and has confidence in the rigor and disciplined One Intel goal scoring process. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to reduce our NEOs' One Intel operational goal payout. |

![intc-20230327_g7.jpg](intc-20230327_g7.jpg) **Individual Performance Goals** 

Individual performance goals (other than for our CEO) or OKRs were included in the Annual Cash Bonus Plan for the first time in 2022 to further promote strong execution of our strategy and drive differentiation in the payout results based on our NEOs' individual contributions to Intel during the performance period. The Compensation Committee approved the OKRs for each NEO, which included objectives critical to our strategy and transformation, at the beginning of 2022. The CEO's Annual Cash Bonus Plan did not include the individual performance metric, as he was responsible for all the key objectives for 2022 as Intel's CEO.

This approach of establishing individual OKRs is part of the company's broader effort to return to a culture with clear and explicit performance management through OKRs that are separate from the immediate financial results, and this was a core aspect of the strategy around how to manage the company when we underwent a CEO transition.

Our CEO assessed each of the other NEO's performance against the individual's 2022 pre-established OKRs, and then his assessments and recommendations of the performance score for each NEO were presented to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee concurred with the CEO's assessments and recommendations for the individual scores.

Below are the key objectives and performance highlights for each NEO as well as their final individual scores, and within each of the objectives, there were another three to five specific and measurable objectives. As described above in the One Intel operational goals section, we have strived to provide stockholders with greater visibility into the performance goals where practical, while balancing the competitive concerns noted above.

**Quarterly Incentive Cash Compensation**

In 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that effective January 1, 2022 for the CEO and effective January 1, 2023 for the other NEOs, the executives would no longer be eligible to participate in the company-wide quarterly incentive cash program. While the quarterly incentive cash program is an important part of Intel's culture that delivers cash compensation to employees based on Intel's profitability, the Compensation Committee took action in response to feedback from stockholders and determined to exclude our NEOs from participation in the program.

Pursuant to the program, 5% of Intel's quarterly net income is divided by the cost to the company to pay all of its employees for one day. Payouts are communicated as extra days of cash compensation, with the participating NEOs receiving the same number of days of pay as the company's other employees.

In 2022, quarterly incentive cash payments represented less than 1% of the NEOs' total direct compensation. Total payments that could be earned in 2022 under the quarterly incentive cash program represented 8.8 days of compensation, down from 22.7 days in 2021. An adjusted net income measure was used each quarter for purposes of the quarterly incentive cash payouts in 2022, which excluded gains and losses resulting from ongoing mark-to-market adjustments of marketable equity securities under the updated accounting standard for financial instruments and a charge related to litigation. See the reconciliation of this adjusted financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure in Appendix A beginning on **page A-1** of this proxy statement.

**2022 Equity Incentives**

The Compensation Committee's decisions related to annual long-term incentive (LTI) equity awards are largely based on an executive's potential and sustained performance, as well as succession planning, business need and criticality, internal parity, consideration of a competitive market analysis, and our CEO's recommendations (for executives that report to him and other officers).

The table below shows the annual target LTI equity award values approved by the Compensation Committee for our NEOs in 2022, based on its annual review of these factors, as compared with annual equity award values approved for the NEOs in 2021, with the exception of Ms. Johnston Holthaus and Messrs. Zinsner and Schell who were not NEOs in 2021 and Mr. Gelsinger who received one-time, new-hire equity awards in connection with his appointment as CEO and did not receive an additional annual LTI equity award for 2021. Mr. Davis retired from Intel in May 2022 and did not have a 2022 approved target LTI equity award value.

In 2022, the annual LTI equity awards granted to the CEO were composed of approximately 80% PSUs and 20% RSUs and to the other NEOs were generally composed of approximately 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs.

<sup>1</sup>The amounts reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" and the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2022 Table" on **pages [99](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_319)** and **page [103](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_325)**, respectively, differ from these values due primarily to (i) SEC and accounting standard rules that require that a grant will occur only if the goals are established and since the 2022 PSUs have goals with annually set objectives, only 1/3 of the 2022 PSUs will be deemed granted in 2022 for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, (ii) changes in the fair value of the awards between the date the Compensation Committee approved awards and the date they were actually granted, and (iii) the conversion method we apply when granting awards compared to that used for valuing them under applicable accounting standards and SEC rules (utilizing a 30-day trailing average stock price rather than a closing stock price on the grant date). In addition, the fair value of an RSU award for financial reporting purposes is discounted for the present value of dividends that are not paid on RSUs prior to vesting. NEOs do not get the benefit of this discount when their awards are converted into shares at grant.

<sup>2</sup>Ms. Rivera's increased 2022 LTI value reflects her increased responsibilities and promotion to General Manager of the Data Center and AI group in July 2021.

**2022 Annual PSU Awards**

PSUs are performance-based RSUs or Performance Stock Units under which the number of shares of Intel common stock earned is based on our achievement measured against specified performance metrics over a three-year period. For 2022, our PSU awards may be earned based on achievement of two performance metrics, which have goals with annually set objectives: revenue growth percentage (weighted 60%) and cash flow from operations (CFFO)(weighted 40%), and two three-year modifiers that can each impact the financial score percentages by +/- 25 points: three-year relative TSR (target payout to require above-median performance relative to the S&P 500 Index) and three-year revenue CAGR. The two modifiers ensure an alignment with the capital allocation strategy and focus on growth, in addition to providing long-term three-year goals. The payout opportunity for the executives is 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted.

The goals for revenue growth percentage and CFFO metrics will be set annually by the Compensation Committee and the three annual results will then be averaged at the end of the three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee changed from setting three-year goals to setting annual objectives for the two financial metrics because it determined annual objectives were necessary at this time given the goal of accelerating Intel's ongoing transformation while maintaining the ability to adapt to challenges in our industry; however, in response to feedback from stockholders, the Compensation Committee has committed to return to multi-year goal setting by fiscal year 2025.

Under the SEC and accounting standard rules for the executive compensation tables, the grant date for PSUs is established when the goals for a period are set by the Compensation Committee. Therefore, the executive compensation tables in this proxy statement will reflect only 1/3 of the grant date fair value of the 2022 PSUs, and the executive compensation tables in future years will reflect additional years of "grants" for the 2022 PSUs as the goals are set for years 2023 and 2024 by the Compensation Committee under the terms of the awards.

The financial goals for 2022 set by the Compensation Committee for revenue growth and CFFO were as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Performance Period** | **Metric** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** | **Actual** | **Payout Per Metric** |
| 2022 | Revenue Growth %<sup>1</sup><br>(Non-GAAP) | -8.5% | 1.7% | 7.1% | -15.0% | 0% |
|  | CFFO<sup>1</sup><br>(Non-GAAP) | $24B | $27B | $30B | $13.5B | 0% |
| 2022 Payout % |  |  |  |  |  | 0% |

---

<sup>1.</sup>Refer to the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure in Appendix A beginning on **page A-1** of this proxy statement.

Our revenue growth percentage for 2022 was -15.0%, which is below the 2022 threshold goal, resulting in achievement of 0% of target for the revenue growth percentage metric.

Our CFFO for 2022 was $13.5B, which is below the 2022 threshold goal, resulting in achievement of 0% of target for the CFFO metric.

Accordingly, the 2022 PSUs achieved an annual score of 0% for fiscal year 2022.

**Payout of 2020 PSU Awards**

**2020 PSU Award.** The PSUs granted in January 2020 with a January 2020 through December 2022 performance period were earned at 0% of the target number of shares granted based on a relative TSR metric (weighted 50%) and cumulative EPS growth percentage metric (weighted 50%). Only Mses. Johnston Holthaus and Rivera had outstanding 2020 PSU awards, for which they received no payout.

With respect to the TSR performance metric, our three-year TSR was -49.23%, which was 91.20 percentage points below the median TSR of the S&P 500 Index peer group over the performance period. As a result, the relative TSR metric achieved 0% of target.

With respect to the cumulative EPS growth percentage metric, the target goal was 6.1%. In order to achieve a maximum payout of 200%, the cumulative EPS growth percentage needed to be 10.4% and in order to achieve any payout, the cumulative EPS growth percentage could not have been lower than -1.8%. For the January 2020 through December 2022 performance period, the cumulative EPS growth percentage was -19.75%, which was below the threshold goal. As a result, the cumulative EPS growth percentage metric achieved 0% of target.

Our PSUs are designed with the intention of challenging executives to reach rigorous long-term goals, and to link the performance of the company with our executives' compensation. As performance did not reach the threshold levels for the 2020 PSU awards, our 2020 PSUs did not pay out.

**2022 Annual RSU Awards**

For 2022, RSUs made up 20% of the annual long-term incentive award opportunities for our CEO, and 50% of the annual long-term incentive award opportunities for our other NEOs. These awards are intended to support our efforts to provide competitive compensation packages to retain executive officers and to reward them for absolute long-term stock price appreciation. RSUs also serve to balance the performance-based nature of PSUs, facilitate stock ownership, and provide a significant incentive to stay with the company. RSUs vest in substantially equal quarterly increments over three years from the grant date. The RSUs granted in 2022 used quarterly vesting of RSUs to help offset the risks inherent in the all-or-nothing 37-month cliff vesting of the PSUs. However, in response to feedback from our stockholders in 2022, the Compensation Committee has committed to change the vesting schedule of RSUs to vest in substantially equal annual increments over three years from the grant date, beginning with the 2023 RSU awards.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg)**2023 NEO Compensation Changes and Pay Overview**

Following extensive stockholder engagement, and a thorough analysis of the needs of our business, the Compensation Committee approved several key changes to our 2023 compensation programs (previously described in the section titled "Stockholder Engagement Shaped Our Response to the 2022 Say-on-Pay Vote"). These changes were designed to further align compensation to our strategy, strengthen our pay-for-performance linkage, provide further alignment with stockholders' long-term interests, and meet the cost cutting needs of our company given the continued macroeconomic headwinds we face.

▪ **Quarterly Incentive Cash Program:** The Compensation Committee removed the NEOs from participation in Intel's company-wide quarterly incentive cash program, effective January 1, 2022 for Mr. Gelsinger, and effective January 1, 2023 for all other NEOs.

▪ **Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Equity Program Design**: The Compensation Committee redesigned the LTI equity program to reflect stockholder input. Below is a summary of the changes to the LTI equity program effective 2023:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ PSU weighting for our NEOs other than our CEO will be increased to 60% (from 50%) and RSU weighting will be decreased to 40% (from 50%), to ensure that the majority of the LTI equity program is performance based; our CEO remains 80% PSUs and 20% RSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ PSUs granted in 2023 will have a cap at target in the event Intel's absolute TSR is negative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, instead of in 12 equal quarterly installments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Reductions in Base Salary and Target Bonus**: The Compensation Committee, with the support of our senior management team, made the decision to temporarily reduce base salaries for our CEO and NEOs 25% and 15%,

respectively, with 2023 target bonuses based on the new blended salaries (certain months at prior salary and certain months at reduced salary).

Prior to making the base salary adjustments, we had continued to conduct extensive market benchmarking and had **positioned our CEO's target total direct compensation to approximate the median of our peer group's CEO compensation.**

**Other Aspects of Our Executive Compensation Programs**

**Post-Employment Compensation Arrangements**

Intel does not provide change in control payments or benefits to our executive officers, and generally provides limited post-employment compensation arrangements to our executive officers. To attract and retain the best talent in the technology sector, we have provided for certain post-employment separation payments and benefits to certain NEOs in their offer letters, and certain NEOs have been granted equity awards with acceleration rights in the event of an involuntary termination of employment.

**Generally Available** 

The limited post-employment compensation arrangements made generally available to our executive officers, including the NEOs, consist of:

▪ a 401(k) savings plan;

▪ a discontinued discretionary company-funded retirement contribution plan, and a company-funded pension plan, each of which is intended to be tax-qualified;

▪ a non-tax-qualified supplemental deferred compensation plan for certain highly compensated employees;

▪ retirement, death, and disability acceleration provisions for equity awards; and

▪ retirement and death provisions under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan.

**Retirement Benefits.** The Compensation Committee allows the NEOs to participate in post-employment compensation plans to encourage them to save for retirement and to assist the company in retaining the NEOs. The terms governing the retirement or deferred compensation benefits under these plans for the NEOs are the same as those available to other eligible employees in the US.

Intel makes matching contributions up to 5% based on the amount of employee contributions under the 401(k) savings plan (reduced to 2.5% effective March 1, 2023 as part of the reductions to pay as described above in the Executive Summary). To the extent that the amount of the matching contribution is limited by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Intel credits the additional match amount to the non-tax-qualified supplemental deferred compensation plan. Since January 1, 2015, plan assets contributed for US participants and employer contributions have been participant-directed.

Starting January 1, 2011, the company-funded pension plan was closed to new hires. Effective January 1, 2015, future benefit accruals were frozen for all employees at or above a specific grade level, including all NEOs, and frozen for all employees effective January 1, 2020.

**Equity Awards**. Our equity awards generally have the following post-employment provisions:

▪ Unvested PSUs are canceled upon termination of employment for any reason other than retirement, death, or disability. In the event the holder meets the definition of "retirement" under the Rule of 75 (when the holder's age plus years of service equal at least 75) or the Rule of Age 60 (reaching age of 60 for grandfathered employees), the number of PSUs eligible for accelerated vesting will be prorated by the number of months employed during the 36-month performance period if the retirement (voluntary or involuntary) occurs within the first calendar year of the grant date; if retirement occurs after the first calendar year of the grant date, then the PSUs are fully vested. In the event of retirement under the Rule of 75 or reaching age of 60 with five years of service for new employees as of 2019 or employees who did not receive performance-based RSUs in 2018 (i.e., non-grandfathered), the number of PSUs eligible for accelerated vesting will be prorated by the number of months employed during the 36-month performance period. PSUs are not settled into shares of our common stock until after the end of the performance period based on actual performance results, even if the holder qualifies for early vesting.

▪ RSUs are subject to retirement vesting under the rule of Age 60 or the Rule of 75, but not both. Upon retirement under the Rule of Age 60, the holder receives one additional year of vesting for every five years of service. Upon retirement under the Rule of 75, the holder receives one additional year of vesting. Additional years of vesting means that any RSUs scheduled to vest within the number of years from the retirement date determined under the rule of Age 60 or Rule of 75 will be vested on the holder's retirement date.

▪ Upon disability or death, all unvested RSUs become 100% vested, and unvested PSUs will become vested subject to actual performance.

**Table of Contents**

**Annual Cash Bonus Plan.** The Annual Cash Bonus Plan has the following post-employment provisions, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise:

▪ In the event a participant retires in accordance with the company's US retirement eligibility rules, the participant will be eligible for a prorated portion of the annual cash bonus, based on the number of months of employment during the year and payable at the times other participants under the plan receive payout of their annual cash bonus.

▪ In the event of a participant's death, the participant's estate will be eligible to receive the annual cash bonus the participant would have otherwise received if the participant had remained employed for the full performance period, payable at the times other participants under the plan receive payout of their annual cash bonus.

**Specific Arrangements** 

The following NEOs have been granted equity awards with acceleration rights in the event of an involuntary termination of employment or have time-limited, post-employment separation benefits:

▪ Mr. Gelsinger's offer letter provides that in the event his employment is terminated by the company without cause or he resigns for good reason (as each of those terms is defined in Mr. Gelsinger's offer letter), and he signs and does not revoke a release of claims in favor of Intel, Mr. Gelsinger will receive a severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 18 months of his then-base salary and (ii) 1.5 times his then-target bonus, payable over a period of 18 months in accordance with Intel's regular payroll practices. In addition, in the event his employment is terminated by the company without cause, including by reason of his death or disability, or he resigns for good reason, in either case within the initial two-year period following his employment start date, and he signs and does not revoke a release of claims in favor of Intel, solely with respect to the new-hire equity awards described in his offer letter, he will vest as to an additional 18 months in (x) the time-vesting RSUs and (y) any performance-vesting equity awards that have satisfied the applicable performance conditions as of such date and remain subject solely to time-vesting conditions.

▪ Mr. Davis was not entitled to any separation pay or other special benefits in connection with his retirement.

**Personal Benefits/Perquisites**

Intel provides perquisites to executive officers when the Compensation Committee determines that such arrangements are appropriate and consistent with Intel's business objectives. Intel offers the NEOs certain financial planning services, health evaluations, certain transportation costs, corporate travel card, and travel fee costs.

In addition, our Board of Directors determined to maintain personal security for certain NEOs, including Mr. Gelsinger. We do not consider these additional security measures to be a personal benefit for our NEOs, but rather appropriate expenses for the benefit of Intel that arise out of our executives' employment responsibilities and that are necessary to their job performance as well as their safety and the safety of their families. In determining to authorize these arrangements and expenses, the Board and Compensation Committee have taken specific steps to ensure that such measures are appropriately tailored, including providing enhanced security for certain individuals in response to specific incidents and threats; not providing enhanced security for all executive officers generally; and ensuring that the Board and/or Compensation Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, authorizes continuation of each arrangement (with no executive officer participating in the decision to approve enhanced security measures for himself or herself). The Board and Compensation Committee have a process for periodic oversight of the nature and cost of security measures and will discontinue, adjust, or enhance security arrangements for our executive officers as appropriate.

In connection with Mr. Zinsner joining Intel in 2022, he received relocation assistance benefits consistent with company-wide policy for relocation costs.

**Executive Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines**

**Purpose**

Because the Compensation Committee prioritizes the alignment of management and stockholders' interests, the Board has set stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers.

**Ownership Definition**

Unvested PSUs, RSUs, and unexercised stock options do not count toward satisfying these ownership guidelines.

**Table of Contents**

**Measurement of Stock Ownership Compliance**<sup>1</sup>

The following is a summary of our robust stock ownership guidelines. Intel's executive officers must accumulate and hold shares of Intel common stock based on a multiple of base salary within five years of their appointment as an executive officer or promotion. There are internal target thresholds for those executive officers who are on track but have not yet met their stock ownership requirements. Compliance with the stock ownership requirements is measured, and presented to the Board of Directors, at least four times a year, using the average stock price of the 30 days prior to and including the measurement date (Measurement Price), which is the same method used to convert RSUs granted to our NEOs.

As of December 31, 2022, each of our NEOs had either met their respective ownership guideline in advance of the deadline or still had time to do so. The following table lists the specific ownership requirements for our NEOs (other than Mr. Davis who was neither an employee nor executive officer of the company as of December 31, 2022), their status in meeting the guidelines, and their deadlines to meet the current requirements.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Listed Officer** | **Multiple of<br>Base Salary<br>Requirement** | **Status** | **Deadline** |
| **Patrick P. Gelsinger** | 10x | Met | Feb 2026 |
| **Michelle Johnston Holthaus** | 5x | On Track | April 2027 |
| **Sandra L. Rivera** | 5x | Met | Jan 2027 |
| **David A. Zinsner** | 5x | On track | Jan 2027 |
| **Christoph Schell** | 5x | On track | April 2027 |

---

<sup>1</sup>If the NEO meets his or her stock ownership requirement at any measurement point, the individual is deemed to satisfy the guideline regardless of any subsequent stock price decline so long as the individual continues to hold at least a number of shares equal to the individual's guidelines based on the Measurement Price for that measurement date.

**Intel Policies Regarding Hedging, Derivatives, "Short Sales", or Pledging**

Intel prohibits directors, NEOs, executives, and all other employees from engaging in short sales or other short-position transactions in Intel stock, transactions in publicly traded options and other derivatives based on the value of Intel common stock, or any hedging and monetization transactions that serve to insulate or mitigate against a potential change in Intel's stock price, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid forwards, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds. This policy does not restrict ownership of, or transactions related to, company-granted awards, such as PSUs, RSUs, employee stock options, and other securities issued by Intel. Holding Intel stock in a margin account and pledging Intel stock as collateral for a loan is prohibited for directors, executive officers, and other senior executives.

**Intel Policies Regarding Clawbacks**

Both Intel's Annual Cash Bonus Plan and equity plans, under which annual incentive cash payments and equity awards, respectively, are made include provisions for seeking the return (clawback) from executive officers of incentive cash payments and stock sale proceeds in the event that those amounts had been inflated due to financial results that later had to be restated. In addition, the equity plans provide that, before seeking recovery, the Compensation Committee must first determine that the applicable executive officer engaged in conduct contributing to the reason for the restatement.

**Report of the Compensation Committee**

The Compensation Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors of the Board of Directors, assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities with regard to compensation matters, and is responsible under its charter for determining the compensation of Intel's executive officers. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section be included in Intel's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (incorporated by reference) and in this proxy statement.

<sup>1</sup>Intel has a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2022 was a 53-week fiscal year, which resulted in an extra pay cycle for our NEOs as compared to the prior years 2021 and 2020.

<sup>2</sup>In 2022, the change in pension value and non-qualified deferred compensation for Mr. Gelsinger was tied to the benefits that were earned when he was a former Intel employee prior to 2011. In 2022, the following NEOs had a loss in pension value of the following amounts: Mr. Gelsinger $(448,000) and Ms. Rivera $(33,000). Ms. Johnston Holthaus' pension value did not change.

<sup>3</sup>Mr. Gelsinger joined Intel as CEO on February 15, 2021.

<sup>4</sup>Mses. Johnston Holthaus and Rivera were not NEOs prior to 2022 and 2021, respectively.

<sup>5</sup>Mr. Zinsner joined Intel as CFO on January 17, 2022.

<sup>6</sup>Mr. Schell joined Intel as EVP on March 14, 2022.

<sup>7</sup>Mr. Davis retired from Intel on May 6, 2022, after stepping down as CFO effective as of January 17, 2022 and serving as an advisor until his retirement. He received an RSU award that vested on April 30, 2022.

**Bonus.** Messrs. Zinsner and Schell each received their sign-on cash bonus in accordance with their offer letter.

**Equity Awards.** Under SEC rules, the values reported in the "Stock Awards" column of the Summary Compensation Table reflect the aggregate grant date fair value, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (FASB ASC Topic 718), of grants of stock awards to each of the NEOs.

The grant date fair values of the TSR component of the Performance Stock Units (PSUs), strategic growth PSUs granted in 2019, performance-based stock options granted in 2019, and CEO new-hire awards (including the PSUs with a TSR component, strategic growth PSUs, outperformance PSUs, and performance-based stock options) are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method.

We calculate the grant date fair value of an RSU by taking the average of the high and low trading prices of Intel common stock on the grant date and reducing it by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on Intel common stock before the RSU vests, because we do not pay or accrue dividends or dividend-equivalent amounts on unvested RSUs.

The grant date fair value of the EPS growth component of the PSUs are determined using the same methodology as for RSUs and applied to the respective target number of PSUs granted.

<sup>2</sup>The Monte Carlo simulation valuation for the PSU – TSR awards and TSR PSU awards assumed a stock price volatility for the S&P 500 IT Index and a correlation coefficient between Intel and the S&P 500 IT Index over the Volatility Period and for the PSU awards granted in 2022 (2022 PSUs) assumed a stock price volatility for the S&P 500 Index and a correlation coefficient between Intel and the S&P 500 Index over the Volatility period, as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Grant Date** | **Volatility Period** | **Volatility** | **Correlation Coefficient** |
| 1/30/2020 | 2.9 | 18.8% | 0.6762 |

<sup>3</sup>For PSUs and RSUs, this reflects the three-year vesting period from the grant date. For Perf SO, no single assumption is used and the expected life calculated in Monte Carlo simulations is assumed based on the midpoint between the later of the vesting period or the time until the stock hurdle is achieved under each simulation, and the 10 year term of the option.

**Table of Contents**

Because the performance-related component of the 2022 PSUs is based on separate measurements of our performance for each year in the three-year performance period, FASB ASC Topic 718 requires the grant date value to be calculated with respect to one-third of the total 2022 PSUs in each year of the three-year performance period, with the value for each year based on the probable outcomes of the revenue growth percentage and cash flow from operations performance conditions against the goals set for that year. The table below sets forth the grant date fair value for one-third of the total 2022 PSUs, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 principles (i) based on the probable outcome at target of the performance-related component as of the grant date, (ii) based upon achieving the maximum level of performance under the performance-related component in 2022, and (iii) based on the grant date fair value.

<sup>1</sup>The number of shares in the table represent the target and the maximum number of shares that each NEO could receive based on assumptions as of the grant date. However, the value ultimately received by the executives is dependent upon Intel's stock price at the time of payout (as well as the satisfaction of the performance conditions).

<sup>2</sup>Mr. Davis retired from Intel on May 6, 2022, after stepping down as CFO effective as of January 17, 2022 and serving as an advisor until his retirement. He was not granted 2022 PSUs.

**Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.** The amounts in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table include annual incentive cash payments made under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan and the quarterly incentive cash program.

**Change in Pension Value and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings.** Amounts reported represent the actuarial change of the benefit that the NEO (other than Messrs. Zinsner, Schell, and Davis) have in the tax-qualified pension plan and, for certain individuals, the supplemental benefit under the plan that offsets certain amounts under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Year-to-year differences in the present value of the accumulated benefit arise mainly from changes in the interest rate used to calculate present value and the participant's age approaching 65. The NEOs generally had an overall decrease in 2022 compared to 2021 because the interest rate used to calculate present value increased from 2.9% for 2021 to 5.6% for 2022. Prior to 2011, when Mr. Gelsinger was a former Intel employee, he was a participant in the tax-qualified pension plan and the supplemental benefit. Upon rehire in 2021, Mr. Gelsinger is not eligible for additional pension benefits. Ms. Johnston Holthaus is a participant in the tax-qualified pension plan; however, was not eligible for the supplemental benefit. Ms. Rivera is a participant in the tax-qualified pension plan and the supplemental benefit. Messrs. Zinsner, Schell, and Davis are not eligible for pension benefits, as they were hired after January 1, 2011. For more information about the pension plan benefits, see below under "Pension Benefits for Fiscal Year 2022" on **page [108](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_337)**.

<sup>2</sup>Amounts reported as "Target" in the "Annual Cash" rows are the named executive officer's annual incentive cash target, and the amounts reported as "Target" in the "Quarterly Cash" rows are the named executive officer's 2022 aggregate quarterly incentive cash payments. Actual 2022 annual incentive cash payments are reported in the table under the heading "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" in the Summary Compensation Table. There is no threshold amount for the Annual Cash or Quarterly Cash Awards granted in 2022.

<sup>3</sup>The "Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plans" columns represent the target and maximum number of shares that could be received by each named executive officer (NEO); however, the value ultimately received by the named executive officer is dependent upon Intel's stock price at the time of payout (as well as satisfaction of the performance conditions). In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, the grant date for performance-based awards is established when the performance objectives are set by the Compensation Committee. Because the Compensation Committee sets annual performance objectives for two of the financial metrics for the 2022 PSUs, the reported numbers for the target number of shares for the 2022 PSUs reflect the portion of the PSUs for which performance objectives were set in fiscal year 2022, or one-third of the total 2022 PSUs. There is no minimum number of shares that can be earned for the 2022 PSUs.

**Annual PSU Awards.** PSUs granted to the NEOs in 2022 have a three-year performance period and vest on January 31, 2025. The number of shares of Intel common stock to be received at vesting will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, based on our average achievement of annual performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee for each of 2022, 2023, and 2024 as to two financial metrics - revenue growth percentage (weighted 60%) and cash flow from operations (weighted 40%), with two modifiers that can each impact the overall score by plus or minus 25 points based on our achievement of three-year performance objectives for relative TSR (where target payout requires above median performance compared to the S&P 500 Index) and three-year performance objectives for revenue CAGR.

**Annual RSU Awards.** RSUs granted to the NEOs in 2022 vest on a quarterly basis over the three years following the grant date.

**Annual Cash Bonus Plan.** Payout under the Annual Cash Bonus Plan ranges from 0% to 200% of the NEO's target opportunity. For more details regarding our Annual Cash Bonus Plan, see " Annual Incentive Cash Compensation" beginning on **page [83](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_262)**.

**Quarterly Incentive Cash Program.** For more details regarding our quarterly incentive cash program, see "Quarterly Incentive Cash Compensation" on **page [91](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_277)**.

**2019–2022 PSU Payout.** In 2022, the payout for three-year performance period PSUs granted in 2019 was 52.2%. The performance metrics for the PSUs were relative TSR measured against the S&P 500 IT Index and three-year EPS growth rate. Intel's TSR was 7.99%, which was 141.3 percentage points below the median TSR of the S&P 500 IT Index of 149.30% over the performance period. The relative TSR metric achieved 0% of target. The three-year EPS growth percentage was 4.0%, which was above the target goal of 3.8%. The cumulative EPS growth percentage metric achieved 104.4% of target.

<sup>1</sup>The Options vest in four equal installments, with the first vesting commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, the second vesting on February 1, 2021, the third vesting on February 1, 2022, and the last vesting on February 1, 2023, and become exercisable only upon achieving the threshold stock price hurdle and maintaining the price for 30 consecutive trading days by February 1, 2024. The Options have a 10 year expiration date.

<sup>2</sup>The Market Value of Unexercised Options is determined by multiplying the number of unvested stock options by the closing price of Intel common stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day of the fiscal year (December 30, 2022) minus the option's exercise price.

<sup>3</sup>RSUs, PSUs, Performance Units (PU), CEO Performance Stock Options (Perf SO), CEO Strategic Growth PSUs (SG PSU), CEO TSR PSUs (TSR PSU), CEO Outperformance PSUs (OUT PSU), and CEO Investment RSUs (Invest RSU) are shown at their target amount. Unless otherwise noted and in each case, subject to continued employment through the applicable vest dates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The RSUs vest quarterly over a three-year period from the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The 2022 PSUs have a three-year performance period from the start of the fiscal year of the grant date and will vest on January 31, 2025, based on our average achievement of annual performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee for each of 2022, 2023, and 2024 as to two financial metrics - revenue growth percentage (weighted 60%) and cash flow from operations (weighted 40%), with two modifiers that can each impact the overall score by plus or minus 25 points based on our achievement of three-year performance objectives for relative TSR (where target payout requires above median performance compared to the S&P 500 Index) and three-year performance objectives for revenue CAGR. The 2022 PSUs are shown above at the target amount that may be earned at the end of the three-year performance period; however in accordance with SEC and accounting standard rules, only one-third of the target number of 2022 PSUs granted are shown in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2022 table above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The PSUs granted in 2020 and 2021 have a three-year performance period from the start of the fiscal year of the grant date and will vest on the 37th month anniversary of the start of the performance period, based on Intel's TSR performance relative to the S&P 500 IT Index (50%) and Intel's cumulative EPS growth against an EPS growth target over the three-year performance period (50%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The Performance Units will vest based on certain stock price hurdles over a five-year period and 50% of any vested PUs will be settled on February 1, 2022 and the remaining vested PUs will be settled on February 1, 2024. No PUs were earned or settled on February 1, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The Perf SOs vest in four equal installments, with the first vesting commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, the second vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date, the third vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date, and the last vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, and become exercisable only upon achieving the threshold stock price hurdle and maintaining the price for 30 consecutive trading days by February 15, 2026. The Perf SO have a ten year expiration date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The TSR PSUs have a three-year performance period from the start of the fiscal year of the grant date and will vest based on Intel's TSR performance relative to the S&P 500 IT Index over a three-year performance period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The OUT PSUs will vest based on certain stock price hurdles over a five-year period. 50% of any earned shares will be eligible to vest on the third anniversary after the grant date, the remainder of earned shares will vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The SG PSUs will vest based on certain stock price hurdles over a five-year period. 50% of any earned shares will be eligible to vest on the third anniversary after the grant date, the remainder of earned shares will vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The Invest RSUs vest quarterly over a three-year period from the grant date.

<sup>1</sup>Until distribution, these benefits are also reflected in the named executive officer's balance reported in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table. The amounts of these tax-qualified pension plan arrangements are not tied to years of credited service. Upon termination, the amount that the named executive officer receives under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan will be reduced by the amount received under the tax-qualified pension plan arrangement. Messrs. Zinsner, Schell, and Davis are not eligible for pension benefits as they were hired after January 1, 2011.

<sup>2</sup>Mr. Gelsinger has pension benefits, which were earned when he was a former Intel employee prior to 2011.

The US Intel Minimum Pension Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan with two components. The first component provides participants with retirement income that is determined by a pension formula based on final average compensation, Social Security-covered compensation, and length of service upon separation not to exceed 35 years. It provides pension benefits only if the annuitized value of a participant's account balance in Intel's tax-qualified retirement contribution plan is less than the pension plan benefit, in which case the pension plan funds a net benefit that makes up the difference. As of December 31, 2022, Ms. Rivera's amount included in the table above has a portion associated with this component. Effective January 1, 2015, compensation earned and service accruals were frozen as of December 31, 2014 in the US Intel Minimum Pension Plan for all employees at or above a specific grade level, including all named executive officers.

The second component is an arrangement under which pension benefits offset amounts that otherwise would be paid under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan described below. Employees who were participants in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan as of December 31, 2003 were able to consent to a one-time change to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan's benefit formula. This change reduces the employee's distribution amount from the non-qualified deferred compensation plan by the lump sum value of the employee's tax-qualified pension plan arrangement at the time of distribution. Each participant's pension plan arrangement was established as a fixed, single-life annuity amount based on assumed retirement at age 65. Each participant's benefit was set based on a number of elements, including his or her non-qualified deferred compensation plan balance as of December 31, 2003, IRS pension rules that consider age and other factors, and limits that Intel sets for equitable administration. Mr. Gelsinger elected to participate when he was a former Intel employee. As of December 31, 2022, Ms. Rivera's amount included in the table above has a portion associated with this component. Ms. Johnston Holthaus and Messrs. Zinsner, Schell, and Davis were not eligible to participate in these arrangements.

The benefit under both components of the plan are frozen, and accordingly, year-to-year differences in the present value of the accumulated benefit arise mostly from changes in the interest rate used to calculate present value and the participant's age becoming closer to age 65. We calculated the present value assuming that the named executive officers will remain in service until age 65, using the interest rate and other assumptions used by Intel for financial statement accounting, as reflected in Note 17 to the financial statements in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. An officer who terminates service before age 65 can elect to receive his or her benefits at any time following termination of employment, but not later than age 65. If such officer works past age 65, then his or her benefits must start upon termination of employment. Distributions before age 55 may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax.

<sup>1</sup>Amounts included in the Summary Compensation Table in the "Salary" and "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" columns for 2022.

<sup>2</sup>These amounts, which accrued during fiscal year 2022 and were credited to the participants' accounts in 2023, are included in the Summary Compensation Table in the "All Other Compensation" column for 2022.

<sup>3</sup>These amounts are not included in the Summary Compensation Table because plan earnings were not preferential or above market.

<sup>4</sup>These amounts are as of December 31, 2022 and do not take into account the amounts in the "Intel Contributions in Last Fiscal Year" column in the table above that were accrued during fiscal year 2022 but were credited to the participants' accounts in 2023. The following amounts are included in the fiscal year-end balance and previously were reported as compensation to the NEOs in the Summary Compensation Table for 2019 through 2022 (except for Mr. Gelsinger and Ms. Rivera who were not NEOs prior to 2021; Ms. Johnston Holthaus who was not a NEO prior to 2022; Messrs. Zinsner and Schell who joined Intel in 2022): Mr. Gelsinger $31,300 and Mrs. Rivera $1,322,800.

<sup>5</sup>Messrs. Schell and Davis did not elect to defer into the plan in 2022.

Intel will distribute the balances reported in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table (plus any future contributions or earnings) to the NEOs in the manner that the officers have chosen under the plan's terms. Some balances reported in the table above include the offset amount that the employee would receive under the tax-qualified pension plan arrangement; the actual amount distributed under this plan will be reduced by the benefit under the pension plan arrangement. See the Pension Benefits table on **page [108](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_337)** for these amounts.

The following table summarizes the total contributions made by the participant and Intel, including gains, losses, and distributions attributable to such contributions, that were previously reported (or that would have been reported had the participant been a NEO for all years) in the Summary Compensation Table over the life of the plan. The amounts in the table are as of December 31, 2022 and do not take into account any amounts that were accrued during fiscal year 2022 but were credited to the participants' accounts in 2023.

Intel's non-qualified deferred compensation plan allows certain highly compensated employees, including NEOs, to defer up to 60% of their salary and up to 75% of their annual incentive cash payment. Gains on equity compensation are not eligible for deferral. Beginning in 2020, Intel began making matching contributions on employee deferrals into the plan. Matching contributions are 100% vested. All NEOs who made deferral contributions received matching contributions. Messrs. Schell and Davis did not elect to defer into the plan, so they did not receive matching contributions. For 2019 and earlier, Intel made company contributions to the employee's account representing the portion of Intel's retirement contribution on eligible compensation (consisting of base salary and annual and quarterly incentive cash payments) earned in excess of the tax code annual compensation limit. These company contributions are subject to the six-year graded vesting provisions in the retirement contribution plan. In addition, these contributions vest upon death, disability, or reaching age 60. Mr. Gelsinger and Mses. Johnston Holthaus and Rivera are fully vested in the value of company contributions, as they have each completed more than six years of service or reached the age of 60. Messrs. Zinsner, Schell, and Davis were not eligible for company contributions, as they joined Intel in January 2022, March 2022, and April 2019, respectively.

**Employment Contracts and Change in Control Arrangements**

All of Intel's NEOs are employed at will, and we do not maintain any payment arrangements that would be triggered by a "change in control" of Intel. Messrs. Gelsinger, Zinsner, and Schell have offer letters, and Mr. Gelsinger has time-limited severance benefits in the event of a termination of employment without cause by Intel or a resignation by Mr. Gelsinger for good reason. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis; Other Aspects of Our Executive Compensation Programs; Post-Employment Compensation Arrangements" on **page [96](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_283)** for the details of these arrangements with Mr. Gelsinger. Mr. Davis also had an offer letter and time-limited severance benefits in the event of a termination of employment without cause by Intel or his resignation for good reason.

**Other Potential Post-Employment Payments**

SEC rules require companies to report the amounts of benefits that are triggered by termination of employment. These amounts are reported in the following tables under the heading "Payment/Benefit." As noted above, we do not maintain arrangements for NEOs that are triggered by a change in control.

The table below reports the value of payments and benefits available to each of the NEOs upon the following specified events: voluntary separation or retirement, involuntary termination, or death or disability, assuming that the triggering events occurred on December 31, 2022, based on the price per share of Intel common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year ($26.43 on December 30, 2022), except for Mr. Davis, for whom the table reports what he received in connection with his retirement from the company on May 6, 2022. Mr. Gelsinger is eligible for a severance payment pursuant to his offer letter in the event of an involuntary termination of employment (termination without cause by Intel or for good reason by the executive). Amounts actually received if any of the NEOs cease to be employed will vary based on factors such as the timing during the year of any such event, the company's stock price, the NEO's age, performance under the terms of applicable performance-based awards, and any changes to our benefit arrangements and policies.

Amounts shown do not include (i) benefits earned during the term of the NEO's employment that are available to all benefit-eligible salaried employees, (ii) the value of vested equity awards that the NEO is entitled to regardless of whether employment is terminated, and (iii) the value of vested deferred compensation and retirement benefits that are also reported in the tables above.

<sup>1</sup>For the valuation of the PSUs granted in 2020 that vested on January 31, 2023, the actual payout amounts were zero. The other outstanding PSUs are valued at target amount and the actual shares will not be known until the time of the applicable payout date after the end of the applicable performance period based on actual performance results.

<sup>2</sup>Mses. Johnston Holthaus and Rivera are retirement eligible under the Rule of 75 under our equity program. This means they will receive certain accelerated vesting of their equity awards in the event of their respective voluntary retirement or an involuntary termination.

<sup>3</sup>Mr. Davis retired from Intel on May 6, 2022 and did not have any accelerated equity awards or other payments.

**Equity Award Termination Provisions** 

▪ Unvested PSUs are canceled upon termination of employment for any reason other than retirement, death, or disability. In the event of retirement under the Rule of 75 (when the holder's age and years of service equal at least 75) or reaching the age of 60 for grandfathered employees, the number of PSUs eligible for accelerated vesting will be prorated by the number of months employed during the 36 month performance period if the retirement occurs within the first calendar year of the grant date; if retirement occurs after the first calendar year, then the PSUs are fully vested. In the event of retirement under the Rule of 75 or reaching the age of 60 with five years of services for non-grandfathered employees, the number of PSUs eligible for accelerated vesting will be prorated by the number of months employed during the 36-month performance period. Any vested PSUs are settled into shares of Intel stock based on actual performance results after the end of the performance period.

▪ RSUs are subject to retirement vesting under the rule of Age 60 or the Rule of 75, but not both. Upon retirement under the rule of Age 60, the holder receives one additional year of vesting for every five years of service. Upon retirement under the Rule of 75, the holder receives one additional year of vesting. Additional years of vesting means that any RSUs scheduled to vest within the number of years from the retirement date determined under the rule of Age 60 or Rule of 75 will be vested on the holder's retirement date.

▪ Upon disability or death, all unvested PSUs and RSUs become 100% vested.

Additional Compensation Matters

**CEO Pay Ratio**

In accordance with SEC rules, we are providing the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee. The 2022 annual total compensation of our CEO Mr. Gelsinger is $11,614,700, the 2022 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee is $96,400, and the ratio of these amounts is 120 to 1.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our human resources system of record and the methodology described below. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and types of workforces, may operate in different countries, and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. We are a global company with more than 55% of our employees located outside the US and significant manufacturing operations. As a result, our employee population is different than that of other companies.

As permitted under the SEC rules, we are using the same median employee identified for purposes of last year's CEO pay ratio, as we believe the changes to our employee population and compensation have not significantly impacted our ratio. Our median employee works in Malaysia as a full-time program manager, which is a non-technology position. For purposes of identifying our median compensated employee as of our measuring date of December 25, 2021 (the last day of our fiscal year for 2021), we used total direct compensation as our consistently applied compensation measure. In this context, total direct compensation means the applicable annual base salary determined as of December 25, 2021, the annual incentive cash target amount or commission target amount payable for service in 2021, and the approved value of the annual equity awards granted during 2021, which we annualized for all permanent employees who did not work for the entire year. To identify our median compensated employee last year, we then calculated the total direct compensation for our global employee population and used the foreign currency exchange rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year 2021.

As of 2022 fiscal year-end, we had 131,900 worldwide employees, and approximately 79% of our US employees' total direct compensation exceeds our median employee's total direct compensation.

![intc-20230327_g8.jpg](intc-20230327_g8.jpg)**Pay Versus Performance**

This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the SEC's pay versus performance rules in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and does not necessarily reflect the value of compensation actually realized by the NEOs or how the Compensation Committee evaluates compensation decisions. Amounts included as "compensation actually paid" do not represent the value of cash compensation and equity awards actually received by the NEOs, but rather is an amount calculated under SEC rules that includes, among other things, the year-over-year changes in the "fair value" of unvested equity-based awards. For discussion of how the Compensation Committee seeks to align pay with performance when making compensation decisions, please review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on **page [71](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_199)**.

The following table shows the information for the past three fiscal years of: (i) the Summary Compensation Table total compensation (see **page [99](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_319)**) for our principal executive officer (PEO) and, on an average basis, our Non-PEO NEOs, (ii) the "compensation actually paid" to our PEO(s) and, on an average basis, our Non-PEO NEOs (in each case, as determined in accordance with SEC rules), (iii) our total shareholder return, (iv) our peer group total shareholder return, (v) our net income, and (vi) our revenue.

<sup>2</sup>The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of "compensation actually paid," as calculated in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation paid to our executives during the applicable year. In accordance with SEC rules, certain adjustments were made to the Summary Compensation Table total compensation to determine the amount of "compensation actually paid," including adding (i) the year-end value of equity awards granted during the reported year, and (ii) the change in the value of equity awards that were unvested at the end of the prior year, measured through the date the awards vested or were forfeited, or through the end of the reported fiscal year. For purposes of calculating "compensation actually paid," the fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (FASB ASC Topic 718) using the same assumption methodologies used to calculate the grant date fair value of awards for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table (see **page [99](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_319)** for additional information).

<sup>6</sup>Pursuant to the SEC rules, company and Peer Group total shareholder return (TSR) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on December 31, 2019 through the end of the listed year. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 IT Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

<sup>7</sup>Revenue (non-GAAP) is the financial measure that was determined to be the most important financial performance measure linking "compensation actually paid" to our NEOs to company performance for 2022 and therefore was selected as the 2022 "Company-Selected Measure" as defined in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

**2022 Performance Measures**

In accordance with SEC rules, the following table lists the three financial performance measures that, in the company's assessment, represent the most important financial performance measures used to link "compensation actually paid" to our NEOs to company performance for 2022, as further described in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis within the sections titled "Annual Incentive Cash Compensation" (see **page [83](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_262)**) and "2022 Annual PSU Awards" (see **page [92](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_5388)**).

---

The Board is requesting that stockholders vote in favor of amending the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 EIP) to add 150 million shares to the share reserve. Since the 2006 EIP was first adopted in 2006, it has been our practice to present it to stockholders for re-approval regularly and frequently to allow stockholders to review our use of equity compensation and to vote upon the continued use of the 2006 EIP. If this Proposal is approved, the term of the 2006 EIP will extend to 2026; if not approved, the share reserve under the 2006 EIP will not be increased and the 2006 EIP will terminate in 2025.

Intel has a long-standing practice of granting equity awards not only to its executives and directors, but also broadly among its employees. As of December 31, 2022, Intel had 131,900 employees, all of whom are eligible to receive awards under the 2006 EIP, and of which **approximately 98% received an equity award in 2022**. The 2006 EIP authorizes us to grant four types of equity awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, and restricted stock units (RSUs). In practice, we have used the 2006 EIP to grant time-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs or Performance Stock Units (PSUs), and stock options.

Please note that the following summary of major features of the amended and restated 2006 EIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the amended and restated 2006 EIP, which is included as Appendix C beginning on **page C-[1](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_463)** to this proxy statement.

**Key Changes to the 2006 EIP**

We are requesting that stockholders approve the amended and restated 2006 EIP, which includes approval of the following:

**Addition of 150 million shares.** The Board requests the addition of 150 million shares of our common stock to the 2006 EIP. These 150 million shares represent approximately 3.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2022 (4,136,945,684 shares). We carefully manage share usage under our equity plans—over the last three fiscal years, our annual gross burn rate has averaged 1.85%. In 2022 under our equity plans, we granted equity awards covering 104.2 million shares (at target for performance awards). If approved, we expect this additional share request would allow us to maintain our regular equity compensation program without interruption until June 2024.

**Extension of the expiration date of the 2006 equity incentive plan to June 30, 2026.** The 2006 EIP is currently scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025, and we are requesting an extension of the expiration of the plan to June 30, 2026. Although we extended the expiration of the plan from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2025 in 2022, we are requesting an additional one-year extension as this is consistent with our current annual renewal cycle, which gives our stockholders the ability to evaluate and vote on the continuation of our plan on a frequent basis.

**Share Reservation**

The following table summarizes the number of shares subject to outstanding awards and that would be authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2022 under our equity plans, other than our 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), if this Proposal is approved. In addition to the 2006 EIP, there are outstanding awards under our 2021 Inducement Plan and plans we assumed in connection with acquisitions. As of December 31, 2022, the 2006 EIP and the ESPP are Intel's only active equity plans, and no future grants will be made under the 2021 Inducement Plan or plans assumed in connection with acquisitions.

**Share Reservation Under Our Equity Plans (Excluding ESPP)**

<sup>1</sup>This number also assumes that PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2022 will convert at 100% of their target amounts upon vesting. PSUs are granted at a target share amount, and can convert into Intel shares anywhere from 0% to 200% of that target amount upon vesting, depending on achieving specified performance criteria. For more information on PSUs, see "Named Executive Officer Compensation Matters; Executive Compensation Tables; Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2022" on **page [103](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_325)**.

<sup>2</sup>The weighted average exercise price is $47.15. The weighted average remaining term is 5.4 years.

<sup>3</sup>This is the additional number of shares that would be issued if PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2022 convert at 200% of their target amounts upon vesting.

<sup>4</sup>Assumes PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2022 vest at maximum payout levels.

<sup>5</sup>If this Proposal is approved, an estimated 256.7 million shares would be available for new grants under the 2006 EIP. That number is an estimate because the shares available may increase due to cancellations and expirations and decrease due to new grants between

December 31, 2022 and the effective date of the 2006 EIP amendment and restatement.

**Reasons to Vote for the Proposal**

**Long-term equity is a key component of our compensation programs.** The Board believes that equity awards help to attract, motivate, and retain talented employees, non-employee directors, and Consultants (as defined in the 2006 EIP).

**Equity awards granted under the 2006 EIP align participant and stockholder interests.** Equity awards, whose value depends on our stock performance and which require continued service over time before any value can be realized, link participant compensation to company performance, maintain a culture based on employee stock ownership, and retain talented employees in a highly competitive labor market.

**The 2006 EIP is the sole active plan for granting equity awards.** If stockholders do not approve the increase in the share reserve, the share reserve under the 2006 EIP will be too low to appropriately implement our 2023 and 2024 compensation plans and we will lose access to an important compensation tool in the labor markets in which we compete.

**Limitations on our ability to grant equity awards would have significant negative consequences to Intel and stockholders.** One alternative to using equity awards would be to significantly increase cash compensation. Any significant increase in cash compensation in lieu of equity awards would reduce the cash otherwise available for operations and investment in our business and would negatively impact our ability to attract, motivate, and retain employees, non-employee directors, and Consultants, in addition to weakening the link between the incentives of our equity award recipients and our stockholders.

**We manage our equity compensation program thoughtfully.** We manage our long-term stockholder dilution by limiting the number of equity awards granted annually and limiting what we grant to what we believe is an appropriate amount of equity necessary to attract, reward, and retain employees. We are also mindful of the ratio of our stock-based compensation expense to our revenues over time.

**Table of Contents**

**The 2006 EIP and our equity compensation programs are designed to reflect leading corporate governance practices:**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Feature/Practice** | **Description** |
| No Liberal Share Recycling | Shares used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes for an outstanding award, unissued shares resulting from the net settlement of outstanding SARs, and shares purchased by Intel in the open market using the proceeds of option exercises do not become available for issuance as future awards. |
| No Evergreen Provision | The 2006 EIP does not contain an "evergreen" feature that automatically replenishes the shares available for future grants under the plan. |
| No Automatic Grants | The 2006 EIP does not provide for automatic grants to any participant. |
| No Tax Gross-Ups | The 2006 EIP does not provide for any tax gross-ups. |
| No Discounted Options or SARs | Stock options and SARs may not be granted with exercise prices lower than the market value of the underlying shares on the grant date. |
| No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval | Other than in connection with a change in Intel's capitalization, the purchase price of a stock option or SAR may not be reduced without stockholder approval, and underwater options and SARs may not be exchanged, or canceled and re-granted, for awards with a lower exercise price or for cash without stockholder approval. |
| No Reload Grants | Reload grants, or the granting of stock options conditioned upon delivery of shares to satisfy the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under another employee stock option, are not permitted. |
| Clawback | If the Compensation Committee determines that a participant committed an act of misconduct specified in the 2006 EIP, the participant's unvested RSUs (including PSUs) and restricted stock will be canceled and none of the participant's options and SARs will be exercisable. If the participant is an executive officer and the Compensation Committee determines that the act of misconduct contributed to a financial restatement, the participant may also be required to repay to Intel certain proceeds from the participant's sales of Intel shares. See "Clawback Provision for Executive Officers" on **page [121](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_6214)**. |
| Individual Limits on Awards | The 2006 EIP limits the number of shares underlying awards that may be granted to a participant in a calendar year. There are further limits on the number that may be granted to a non-employee director. |
| Minimum Performance Period | Any PSU or performance-based restricted stock award must be based on performance over a period of one year or longer. Our PSUs have a performance period of at least three years, which we believe promotes the creation of long-term value. Our senior-level employees receive at least 50% of their equity compensation in PSUs (our CEO receives 80% in PSUs). |
| Frequent Re-approval | This amendment and restatement would extend the plan term by one year, which supports our philosophy of frequent stockholder review of the plan. This requires us to regularly and frequently present the 2006 EIP to stockholders for re-approval and extension. |
| Independent Administration | The 2006 EIP is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of "independent directors" within the meaning of Nasdaq's independence requirements and "non-employee directors" as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. |

**Background on Equity Compensation at Intel**

Intel granted equity awards to approximately 98% of its employees in 2022 and has on average granted awards to more than 97% of employees in the past three years, a practice that is highly supported by our stockholders as it further aligns employee and stockholder interests. While we typically grant equity awards on a pre-established quarterly schedule, we grant most of our awards in the second quarter of each year as part of our company-wide employee performance evaluation.

**Table of Contents**

Except for our NEOs and other senior leaders, from 2015 through 2022, we have granted equity awards under the 2006 EIP exclusively in the form of RSUs and PSUs. The employees in our broad-based equity award program and non-employee directors receive RSUs. Our senior-level employees generally receive long-term incentive equity awards consisting of PSUs and RSUs, with our senior-level employees generally receiving at least 50% of their equity awards in the form of PSUs (our CEO receives 80% in PSUs and beginning in 2023 our NEOs receive 60% in PSUs). The payout of PSUs is subject to a performance-based formula. They are granted at a target share amount, and the number of shares a participant ultimately receives, depending on Intel's performance, can range from 0% to 200% of the target. For more information on our PSUs, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" on **page [71](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_199)** for a description of our current executive compensation programs. Certain of our NEOs also hold strategic growth PSUs, which have a five-year performance period and require stock price appreciation to vest, and strategic growth performance stock options, which vest over four years, expire after ten years, and require stock price appreciation to become exercisable. Additionally, in 2021, in connection with the commencement of Mr. Gelsinger's employment, we granted him one-time, new-hire equity awards under the 2021 Inducement Plan in the form of (i) relative TSR PSUs with a three-year performance period, (ii) strategic growth PSUs with a five-year performance period and performance stock options that vest over four years and expire after ten years, each of which require stock price appreciation to vest and become payable or exercisable, as applicable, (iii) outperformance PSUs requiring 200% stock price appreciation during a five-year performance period in order to vest, and (iv) RSUs, with quarterly vesting over three years.

We believe RSUs, PSUs, strategic growth PSUs, and strategic growth performance stock options are an effective means to align the interests of our employees and stockholders, and PSUs provide our senior leadership with at-risk compensation that rewards performance. The number of shares issued under awards may be lower or, in the case of PSUs, higher than the nominal number of shares stated in the awards, but in no case may the limits set forth in our equity plans be exceeded.

**Net Burn Rate, Gross Burn Rate, and Overhang**

We review a number of metrics to assess the cumulative impact of our equity compensation program (other than ESPP), particularly the following:

**▪ Net Burn Rate.** Our net burn rate is equal to our total equity awards granted less cancellations, divided by total shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the year. Net burn rate shows how rapidly the shares reserved for our 2006 EIP are being depleted, while reflecting that canceled awards are returned to the plan. Carefully monitoring our net burn rate helps us limit long-term stockholder dilution from our equity compensation program. Intel's long-term goal is to limit the average net burn rate under our equity compensation program (other than ESPP) to less than 2%. Over the past three fiscal years, our annual net burn rate averaged 1.54% (2.16% in 2022).

**▪ Gross Burn Rate.** Gross burn rate is another measure of share utilization that differs from net burn rate by not taking into account award cancellations. It is equal to our total equity awards granted divided by total shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the year. Over the last three fiscal years, our annual gross burn rate has averaged 1.85% (2.52% in 2022).

**▪ Overhang.** Overhang measures potential stockholder dilution and is equal to the number of shares subject to our outstanding equity awards, plus the number of shares available to be granted, divided by total shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the year. Over the past three fiscal years, our overhang has averaged 6.9% (7.0% in 2022). If the 150 million shares requested in this Proposal were added to the number of shares available at the end of 2022, then our overhang in 2022, based on the same calculation, would have been 10.6%.

**Key Terms of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan**

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the amended and restated 2006 EIP, which is subject to stockholder approval of this Proposal. Some of these provisions are described in greater detail below, and the summary and descriptions are qualified by reference to the terms of the amended and restated 2006 EIP, which is set forth as Appendix C beginning on **page C-[1](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_463)** of this proxy statement.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Plan Term:** | **May 17, 2006 to June 30, 2026** |
| Eligible Participants: | All of our full-time and part-time employees and Consultants (as defined the 2006 EIP) (131,900 employees and 21 Consultants, in each case, as of December 31, 2022), where legally eligible to participate, and our non-employee directors (eleven individuals, as of December 31, 2022). No equity awards have been made to Consultants to date. |
| Shares Authorized: | 428.5 million shares may be issued as of December 31, 2022, pursuant to either new grants after that date or awards outstanding as of that date, subject to adjustment only to reflect stock splits and similar changes in Intel's capitalization. |
| Award Types (available to all eligible participants, including<br>non-employee directors): | (1) RSUs<br>(2) Restricted stock<br>(3) Stock options<br>(4) SARs |
| Individual Award Limitations: | The 2006 EIP limits the number of shares subject to awards granted to an individual participant in any calendar year to:<br>(1) No more than four million shares subject to stock options or SARs to an individual participant during any calendar year.<br>(2) No more than four million shares subject to restricted stock or RSU grants to an individual participant during any calendar year.<br>These limits are subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar changes in Intel's capitalization and are greater than the number of stock options or RSUs that we have granted to any individual in the past. |
| Other Award Limitations: | The aggregate dollar value of equity-based awards and cash compensation granted to a non-employee director under the 2006 EIP or otherwise during any fiscal year may not exceed $1,250,000. For purposes of valuing any equity-based compensation, the amount will be determined using the grant date fair value of the award. |
| Vesting: | No stock option may be exercised less than one year from the grant date (except upon the death, disability, or retirement of the participant). For RSUs and restricted stock, no vesting condition that is based on performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria shall be based on performance over a period of less than one year. |

---

**Non-Employee Director Awards**

Each non-employee director may be granted awards for a number of shares, as determined by the Board, but the grant date fair value of the awards, when combined with the director's annual cash compensation, cannot exceed $1,250,000 in any fiscal year. See **page [56](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_157)** for a description of our current non-employee director compensation program.

**Vesting of Restricted Stock and RSUs**

The Compensation Committee (or, for non-employee director awards, the Board) may make the grant, issuance, retention, or vesting of restricted stock and RSUs contingent upon, among other conditions, continued service with Intel, the passage of time, or such performance criteria and the level of achievement against such criteria as it deems appropriate.

**Vesting and Exercise of Stock Options and SARs**

The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2006 EIP may not be less than the market value (the average of the high and low market price) of our common stock on the grant date. The stock option term may not be longer than seven years in the case of stock options vesting in full in less than five years, and may not be longer than 10 years in the case of stock options vesting in full in five or more years. The Compensation Committee (or, for non-employee director awards, the Board) will determine when each stock option becomes exercisable, including the establishment of performance-vesting criteria, if any, provided that no stock option may be exercised less than one year from the grant date (except upon the death, disability, or retirement of the participant). Similar terms and limitations apply to SARs.

**Table of Contents**

**Performance-Vesting Criteria**

For awards with performance-vesting criteria, the Compensation Committee may, but need not, select one or more of the following factors for such performance-vesting criteria, each of which may be adjusted as provided in the 2006 EIP: (a) cash flow, (b) earnings per share, (c) earnings before one or more of interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, (d) return on equity, (e) total stockholder return, (f) share price performance, (g) return on capital, (h) return on assets or net assets, (i) revenue, (j) income or net income, (k) operating income or net operating income, (l) operating profit or net operating profit, (m) gross margin, operating margin, or profit margin, (n) return on operating revenue, (o) return on invested capital, (p) market segment share, (q) product release schedules, (r) new product innovation, (s) product cost reduction through advanced technology, (t) brand recognition/acceptance, (u) product ship targets, or (v) customer satisfaction. These factors may be applied either individually, alternatively, or in any combination, to either the company as a whole or to a business unit or subsidiary, either individually, alternatively, or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis, or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years' results, or to a designated comparison group, on a US GAAP or non-GAAP basis.

**Dividends**

Unless specified by the Compensation Committee, the shares issuable under an award may not be adjusted to reflect cash dividends or other rights that may be paid or issued to stockholders prior to the issuance of those shares. The committee may specify that dividends or dividend equivalent amounts will be credited and/or payable with respect to the shares subject to an award, unless the award is a stock option or SAR. Furthermore, to the extent dividends or dividend equivalents are credited or payable in connection with an award, the dividends and dividend equivalents must be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying award and may not be paid until the underlying award vests.

**Transferability**

Awards granted under the 2006 EIP are transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or to the extent otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. The committee has sole discretion to permit the transfer of an award.

**Administration**

The Compensation Committee, which is made up entirely of independent directors, administers the 2006 EIP. The 2006 EIP grants broad authority to the plan administrator to do all things necessary or desirable, in its sole discretion, in connection with the administration of the 2006 EIP. The Compensation Committee will select the participants who receive awards on the basis of their service; determine the number of shares covered thereby; and, subject to the terms and limitations expressly set forth in the 2006 EIP, establish the terms, conditions, and other provisions of the grants. The Compensation Committee may interpret the 2006 EIP and establish, amend, and rescind any rules related to the 2006 EIP, and make remedial changes to the terms of an outstanding award to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and listing requirements, and to avoid unintended consequences resulting from unexpected events.

The Compensation Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more officers the ability to grant awards and take other actions with respect to participants (other than such officers themselves) who are not directors or executive officers, provided that the Compensation Committee specifies limits on the number of awards that may be granted. The Compensation Committee has delegated authority to a committee consisting of the CEO and the Chief People Officer to grant awards to non-executive employees within limits and a budget pre-approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has also delegated administrative and ministerial functions under the 2006 EIP to the Chief People Officer.

**Clawback Provision for Executive Officers**

For any participant who is determined by the Board to be an "executive officer," if the Compensation Committee determines that the participant engaged in an act of embezzlement, fraud, or breach of fiduciary duty during the participant's employment that contributed to an obligation to restate Intel's financial statements, the participant may be required to repay option proceeds and/or restricted stock proceeds resulting from any sale or other disposition of shares effected during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the financial statements required to be restated. The term "option proceeds" means, with respect to any sale or other disposition of shares issued or issuable upon exercise of a stock option or SAR, an amount determined appropriate by the committee to reflect the effect of the restatement, up to the amount equal to the number of shares sold or disposed of, multiplied by the difference between the market value per share of Intel's common stock at the time of such sale or disposition and the exercise price. The term "restricted stock proceeds" means, with respect to any sale or other disposition of shares issued or issuable upon vesting of restricted stock or an RSU, an amount determined appropriate by the committee to reflect the effect of the restatement, up to the amount equal to the market value per share of Intel's common stock at the time of such sale or other disposition, multiplied by the number of shares or units sold or disposed of.

**Amendments Requiring Stockholder Approval**

The Board may terminate, amend, or suspend the 2006 EIP, provided that stockholder approval is required for any amendment (except those described in "Adjustments" below) that would:

▪ increase the number of shares that may be issued under the 2006 EIP;

▪ extend the term of the 2006 EIP;

▪ change the class of persons eligible to participate in the 2006 EIP;

▪ grant stock options at less than the market value;

▪ reduce the price of an outstanding stock option or SAR;

▪ reprice, repurchase, or exchange underwater stock options or SARs; or

▪ otherwise implement any amendment required to be approved by stockholders under the Nasdaq rules.

**Adjustments** 

In the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash or assets, reorganization, or exchange of our common stock, or any similar equity restructuring transaction (as that term is used in FASB ASC Topic 718) affecting our common stock, the Compensation Committee will equitably adjust: the number and kind of shares available for grant under the 2006 EIP; the number and kind of shares subject to the various limitations set forth in the 2006 EIP and subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 EIP; and the exercise or settlement price of outstanding stock options and of other awards.

The impact of a merger or other reorganization of Intel on outstanding awards under the 2006 EIP will be specified in the agreement related to the merger or reorganization, subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in the 2006 EIP. Such agreement may provide for, among other things, assumption of outstanding awards, accelerated vesting or accelerated expiration of outstanding awards, or settlement of outstanding awards in cash.

**US Federal Tax Consequences**

The United States federal income tax consequences of awards under the 2006 EIP are summarized below. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of all applicable rules, and those rules (including those summarized here) are subject to change. Tax consequences for any particular individual may be different. This discussion also does not address the tax consequences under applicable foreign, municipality, state, and local law.

▪ **Restricted Stock Awards:** A participant generally will not be taxed upon the grant of restricted stock, but rather will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time the shares are no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" (generally, when the restricted stock award becomes transferable). We generally will be entitled to a deduction at the time when, and in the amount, the participant recognizes ordinary income on account of the lapse of the restrictions, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the tax code. A participant's tax basis in the shares will equal their fair market value at the time the restrictions lapse, and the participant's holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time. Under Section 83(b) of the tax code, a participant may elect to recognize ordinary income at the time the shares of restricted stock are awarded in an amount equal to their fair market value at that time, notwithstanding the fact such shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions and a substantial risk of forfeiture. If such an election is made, no additional taxable income will be recognized by such participant at the time the restrictions lapse. The participant will have a tax basis in the shares equal to their fair market value on the date of their award, and the participant's holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the time when, and to the extent, ordinary income is recognized by such participant, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the tax code.

▪ **RSUs and PSUs:** In general, the grant of RSUs (including PSUs) will not result in income for the participant or in a tax deduction for us. Upon the settlement of such an award in cash or shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the aggregate value of the payment received, and we generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the tax code. In addition, Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") taxes are imposed on RSUs in the year of vesting (which may occur prior to the year of settlement).

**Table of Contents**

▪ **Options:** Stock option grants under the 2006 EIP may be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the tax code or may be non-qualified stock options governed by Section 83 of the tax code.

▪ **Non-qualified stock options:** An optionee generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a non-qualified stock option. Rather, at the time of exercise of the option, the optionee will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares purchased over the exercise price. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at such time and in the same amount, if any, the optionee recognizes as ordinary income, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the tax code. The optionee's tax basis in any shares received upon exercise of an option will be the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and if the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the optionee) depending upon the length of time such shares were held by the optionee.

▪ **Incentive stock options:** Incentive stock options are eligible for favorable federal income tax treatment if certain requirements are satisfied. An employee granted an incentive stock option generally does not realize compensation income for federal income tax purposes upon the grant of the option. At the time of exercise of an incentive stock option, no compensation income is realized by the optionee other than tax preference income for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax on individual income. If the shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option are held for at least two years after grant of the option and one year after exercise, the excess of the amount realized on the sale over the exercise price will be taxed as capital gain. However, if the shares of our common stock acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of within less than two years after grant or one year of exercise, the optionee will realize taxable compensation income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the date of sale, whichever is less, over the exercise price, and any additional amount realized will be taxed as capital gain (a "disqualifying disposition"). If a participant recognizes ordinary income due to a disqualifying disposition of an incentive stock option, we would generally be entitled to a deduction in the same amount, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the tax code .

▪ **Stock appreciation rights:** A participant who is granted a stock appreciation right generally will not recognize ordinary income upon receipt of the stock appreciation right. Rather, at the time of exercise of such stock appreciation right, the participant will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the value of any cash received and the fair market value on the date of exercise of any shares received. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time, and in the same amount that, ordinary income is recognized by such participant, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the tax code. The participant's tax basis in any share received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right will be the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise, and if the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant) depending upon the length of time such shares were held by the participant.

▪ **Section 409A:** Section 409A of the tax code provides additional tax rules governing non-qualified deferred compensation. Generally, Section 409A will not apply to awards granted under the 2006 EIP, but may apply in some cases to RSUs and PSUs. For such awards subject to Section 409A, certain officers of the company may experience a delay of up to six months in the settlement of the awards in shares of company stock.

▪ **Section 162(m):** Section 162(m) of the tax code limits a publicly traded company's federal income tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers that constituted "covered employees" under Section 162(m) of the tax code, and thus we expect that we will be unable to deduct all compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain of our executive officers.

**New Plan Benefits; Market Value of Securities**

The Compensation Committee has the discretion to grant awards under the 2006 EIP, and the Compensation Committee has not determined future awards or who might receive them. Accordingly, the benefits that will be granted or paid under the amended and restated 2006 EIP are not currently determinable. However, each non-employee director is expected to receive an annual RSU grant on the date of the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting with a target value of approximately $220,000. Non-employee directors may also elect to receive RSUs in lieu of their cash fees.

As of March 1, 2023, the closing price of a share of Intel common stock was $25.33.

**Existing Plan Benefits** 

Pursuant to SEC rules, the following table lists the number of PSUs (at target), RSUs, and stock options granted under the 2006 EIP from May 17, 2006 (when the 2006 EIP was initially approved by stockholders) through December 31, 2022 (whether or not outstanding, vested, or forfeited, as applicable).

<sup>1</sup>Includes 166 million shares granted under the 2006 EIP that are issuable upon RSUs and PSUs vesting, including a maximum of 12 million additional shares that could be issued for outstanding PSUs. The remaining balance consists of outstanding stock option grants.

<sup>2</sup>The weighted average exercise price does not take into account the shares issuable upon vesting of outstanding RSUs and PSUs, which have no exercise price. The weighted average remaining term of the outstanding stock options is 5.4 years.

<sup>3</sup>Includes 200 million shares available for issuance under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, including 27.6 million shares subject to purchase during the purchase period in effect as of December 31, 2022, and 106.7 million shares available under the 2006 EIP, assuming shares will be issued at the maximum vesting amount for outstanding PSUs. If it is assumed that shares will be issued at the target vesting amount for outstanding PSUs, an additional 12 million shares would be included in the shares available for future issuance under the 2006 EIP, for a total of 119 million shares. This 119 million shares is the number reported in Note 18 to the financial statements in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

<sup>4</sup>Includes shares issuable under outstanding options and RSUs that were originally granted under plans that we assumed in connection with acquisitions and 6.4 million shares that are issuable to Mr. Gelsinger under the 2021 Inducement Plan. No future grants will be made under these assumed plans or the 2021 Inducement Plan. In February 2021, the Board adopted the 2021 Inducement Plan which, subject to the adjustment provisions thereof, reserved 8 million shares of our common stock for issuance. The 2021 Inducement Plan was adopted without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (Rule 5635(c)(4)). The 2021 Inducement Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units, and contains terms and conditions intended to comply with the inducement award exception under the Nasdaq rules and otherwise has substantially similar terms as our 2006 EIP including a clawback provision. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4), awards under the 2021 Inducement Plan may only be made to individuals not previously employees of Intel as an inducement material to such individuals entering into employment with Intel. Mr. Gelsinger is the only participant in the 2021 Inducement Plan, and the new-hire awards granted to him in connection with his commencement of employment are the only awards that will be granted under the 2021 Inducement Plan. The new-hire awards granted to Mr. Gelsinger consist of (i) relative TSR PSUs with a three-year performance period, (ii) strategic growth PSUs with a five-year performance period and performance stock options that vest over four years and expire after 10 years, each of which require stock price appreciation to vest and become payable or exercisable, as applicable, (iii) outperformance PSUs requiring 200% stock price appreciation during a five-year performance period in order to vest, and (iv) RSUs, with quarterly vesting over three years. For more information regarding Mr. Gelsinger's new-hire equity awards granted under the 2021 Inducement Plan, please see Appendix B beginning on **page B-[1](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_460)** of this proxy statement.

---

**Background** 

The US federal securities law that requires each US public company to hold a Say-on-Pay advisory vote also requires that stockholders be asked to vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes. Pursuant to this requirement in Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are asking stockholders to vote on whether future Say-on-Pay votes, such as the one in Proposal 3 above, should occur every year, every two years, or every three years. This vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay votes is advisory in nature and must be held at least once every six years. Intel has voluntarily conducted annual Say-on-Pay votes every year since 2009, two years before required by federal law, but we welcome the opportunity to submit the three alternative frequencies to our stockholders for consideration.

**Alternative Frequencies**

Some commentators have said that a two-year or three-year frequency might be better aligned with compensation trends or programs and would place less emphasis on the results or actions of a single year; other commentators have stated that an annual vote provides a company with more opportunity for timely feedback. We are prepared to operate under any of the three alternative frequencies and look forward to the stockholder vote for input, although the Board recommends that stockholders vote to continue to hold Say-on-Pay votes every "one year." Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years, or abstain.

**How We Consider Stockholder Feedback**

This advisory vote is non-binding on the Board, but the Board will give careful consideration to the voting results on this proposal and expects to be guided by the alternative that receives the greatest number of votes, even if that alternative does not receive a majority of the votes cast.

The next advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes will occur at the 2029 Annual Stockholders' Meeting.

Stockholder Proposals

---

| |
|:---|
| **Proposal 6** |
| **Stockholder Proposal Requesting Adoption of an Executive Stock Retention Period Policy and Reporting** |

---

The following stockholder proposal will be voted on at the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting if properly presented by or on behalf of the stockholder proponent.

**Proponent: John Chevedden**, 2215 Nelson Ave., No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA 90278, is the owner of 100 shares of Intel common stock and proposes the following resolution:

**Proposal 6—Executives To Retain Significant Stock**

![intc-20230327_g223.jpg](intc-20230327_g223.jpg)

Shareholders urge that our executive pay committee adopt a policy requiring senior executives to retain a significant percentage of stock acquired through equity pay programs until reaching normal retirement age and to report to shareholders regarding the policy in our Company's next annual meeting proxy.

For the purpose of this policy, normal retirement age would be an age of at least 60 and be determined by our executive pay committee. Shareholders recommend a share retention percentage requirement of 50% of net after-tax shares.

This single unified policy shall prohibit hedging transactions for shares subject to this policy which are not sales but reduce the risk of loss to the executive. Otherwise our directors might be able to avoid the impact of this proposal. This policy shall supplement any other share ownership requirements that have been established for senior executives, and should be implemented without violating current company contractual obligations or the terms of any current pay or benefit plan.

Requiring senior executives to hold a significant portion of stock obtained through executive pay plans would focus our executives on our company's long-term success. A Conference Board Task Force report stated that hold-to-retirement requirements give executives "an ever-growing incentive to focus on long-term stock price performance."

This proposal topic is all the more important at Intel due to the poor performance of Intel stock which is down substantially from $64 in 2021. Plus the following directors received excessive against votes in 2022 when a 5% against vote is often the norm at well performing companies:

▪ Alyssa Henry – 49% against vote.

Sad because Ms. Henry is a relatively new director.

▪ Omar Ishrak, Board Chairman – 30% against vote.

▪ Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, Chair of the nomination committee – 25% against vote.

▪ Dion Weisler, Chair of the management pay committee – 28% against vote.

Sad because Mr. Weisler is a relatively new director and retired from his day job at age 51.

And management pay was rejected by 26% of shares in 2022 when a 5% against vote is often the norm at well performing companies.

Please vote yes:

**Table of Contents**

**Board of Directors' Response**

The Board recommends a vote against this proposal for the following reasons:

▪ Intel already maintains robust stock ownership guidelines and anti-hedging policies for executive officers. Unvested PSUs, RSUs, and unexercised stock options do not count toward satisfying these ownership guidelines.

▪ A policy that would require senior executives to hold 50% of the net after-tax shares from their equity awards until reaching normal retirement age is excessive, inconsistent with current practice among our peer groups, and would put Intel at a competitive disadvantage for recruiting and retaining talented executives.

▪ Intel's executive compensation programs are specifically designed to incentivize maximizing long-term value for our stockholders by giving considerable weight toward long-term equity awards that typically vest over a period of three years or longer rather than cash compensation, as evidenced by our executives holding significant unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) and Performance Stock Units (PSUs) at any particular time.

**Supporting Discussion**

Intel's human capital strategy is grounded in our belief that our people are fundamental to our success. Delivering on our IDM 2.0 strategy and growth ambitions requires attracting, developing, and retaining top talent from across the world. Because the market for senior technology leaders is extremely competitive, attracting and retaining top talent, particularly in high-demand areas such as cloud computing, AI, graphics processing units, and autonomous driving is critical to our growth strategy. The requested policy, which would require senior executives to hold 50% of the net after-tax shares from their equity awards until reaching normal retirement age is not only excessive and inconsistent with industry peer practices, but would also put Intel at a competitive disadvantage for attracting, recruiting, and retaining talented executives. Based on a careful review of the proposal, and in light of our robust stock ownership guidelines and the long-term focus of our executive compensation programs, the Board believes that implementation of the proposal is unnecessary and contrary to the best interests of our stockholders.

**Our robust stock ownership requirements appropriately align executive officers' interests with stockholders' long-term interests**

Intel already has robust stock ownership guidelines for the CEO and executive officers. Unvested PSUs, RSUs, and unexercised stock options do not count toward satisfying these ownership guidelines. Under the guidelines, our CEO is expected to own shares of Intel common stock that have a value equal to ten times the CEO's base salary. This stock ownership multiple is among the highest of our peers. In addition, each executive officer is expected to own shares of Intel common stock that have a value equal to five times the executive officer's base salary. This stock ownership multiple for executive officers is also among the highest of our peers. As of December 31, 2022, our CEO has met his ownership guideline and each of our other NEOs has either met their respective ownership guideline in advance of the deadline or still has time to do so.

**Our executive officers are subject to other stock ownership related governance policies**

In addition to stock ownership guidelines, Intel maintains other governance policies relating to Intel stock held by executives that align executives' interests with those of our stockholders. These include an anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy and a prohibition against short sales of Intel common stock by executive officers. Moreover, both Intel's Annual Cash Bonus Plan and equity plans include provisions for seeking the return (clawback) from executive officers of incentive cash payments and stock sale proceeds in the event that those amounts had been inflated due to financial results that later had to be restated.

**The proposal, if implemented, could diminish our ability to attract and retain executive talent critical to our long-term success**

Our Board and leadership team have been keenly focused on the future of Intel and we are aggressively moving into the next phase of IDM 2.0 geared to unlocking the full potential of the IDM advantage. Delivering on our IDM 2.0 strategy and growth ambitions requires attracting, developing, and retaining top talent from across the world. To accomplish this, we must have competitive compensation programs. Based on our review of peer practices, and similar to our program, executive officers at peer companies are able to realize value from their equity awards during the course of their employment after they have reached their company's holding requirement threshold. As a result, our imposition of a post-employment holding requirement could diminish our ability to attract and retain executives or require us to compensate executives in other less effective ways to remain competitive. Put simply, this proposal, if implemented, may directly impede our ability to successfully execute on our IDM 2.0 strategy, which is fundamental to our ability to create long-term stockholder value.

**Table of Contents**

**Our executive compensation programs encourage a focus on long-term performance**

Our executive compensation programs are structured to provide strong pay-for-performance alignment. In this regard, our senior-level employees generally receive a significant portion of their compensation in the form of long-term incentive equity awards consisting of RSUs and PSUs. RSUs are intended to support our efforts to provide competitive compensation packages to retain executive officers and to reward them for absolute long-term stock price appreciation and serve to balance the performance-based nature of PSUs, facilitate stock ownership, and provide a significant incentive to stay with Intel. RSUs generally vest in substantially equal increments over three years from the grant date. PSUs are performance-based RSUs under which the number of shares of Intel common stock earned is based on our achievement measured against specified performance metrics over at least a three-year period, and are only paid out if the performance metrics are met. The Compensation Committee redesigned the PSU program for the 2022 through 2024 performance period to reflect a new go-forward strategy and align executive compensation to operating results while still indexing to TSR to drive performance culture.

In sum, in light of our robust stock ownership guidelines and anti-hedging policies for executives, our executive compensation programs that are appropriately aligned with our business strategy and long-term interests of the stockholders, and the potential negative effect of the requested policy on Intel's ability to attract and retain top talent, the Board believes that this proposal is unnecessary and not in the best interests of our stockholders.

**Proposal 7**<br>**Stockholder Proposal Requesting Commission and Publication of a Third Party Review of Intel's China Business ESG Congruence**<br>

The following stockholder proposal will be voted on at the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting if properly presented by or on behalf of the stockholder proponent.

**Proponent: The National Center for Public Policy Research**, 2005 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20036, is the owner of no less than $2,000 in market value of shares of Intel common stock and proposes the following resolution:

**Resolved:** Shareholders request that the Board of Directors commission and publish a third-party review within the next year (at reasonable cost, omitting proprietary information) of whether the Company's activities and expenditures related to doing business in China align with its ESG commitments. The Board of Directors should report on how it addresses the risks presented by any misaligned activities and expenditures and the Company's plans, if any, to mitigate these risks.

**Supporting Statement:** Intel touts the virtues of its ESG initiatives, such as its commitment to net zero greenhouse gas emissions in its global operations by 2040,<sup>1</sup> and its pledge to ensure human rights are protected throughout its supply chain.<sup>2</sup> Intel even has its own "Global Human Rights Principles" that assert, "Respect for human rights is rooted in our values and applies wherever we do business."<sup>3</sup>

But Intel's environmental promises and human rights commitments are belied by its cozy relationship with China, a country that is controlled by the dictatorial and inhumane Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Intel apologized to China last December after issuing a letter telling its suppliers not to source products or labor from the Xinjiang region.<sup>4</sup> The letter was in response to the passage of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which represents an important step in addressing the well-established genocide against ethnic minorities by the CCP.<sup>5</sup> Intel was even a corporate sponsor during the 2022 Beijing Olympics, perpetuating the fallacy that China is a free and fair country that supports Intel's ideals.<sup>6</sup>

To the contrary, China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, emitting more greenhouse gases than the entire U.S. and the developed world combined.<sup>7</sup> Exceeding more than 27 percent of the world's total global emissions, China's emissions have more than tripled over the last three decades.<sup>8</sup>

Moreover, the Chinese government has an abhorrent human rights record, as witnessed by its abuses against the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, including forced labor programs, forced sterilizations, and torture.<sup>9</sup> Chinese authorities perpetrate genocide and use emerging technologies to carry out discriminatory surveillance and ethno-racial profiling measures designed to subjugate and exploit minority populations.<sup>10</sup>

This poor human rights record makes China's aggressive stance toward Taiwan even more alarming, as it makes claims of sovereignty over the island. It has recently sent warplanes towards the territory's air defense zone, and has called for Taiwan's "reunification" with China, stoking fears and geopolitical instability.<sup>11</sup>

Doing business with China, which is the largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world and which commits genocide against ethnic minorities – runs counter to everything that Intel claims to stand for. It is therefore critical that the Board commission and publish a third party review that includes experts who are fully aware of the dangers that China poses to ensure that Intel's actions as a company live up to its words.

**Board of Directors' Response**

The Board recommends a vote against this proposal for the following reasons:

▪ Intel takes a comprehensive approach to reporting on key aspects of our responsible business practices. For example, Intel has publicly released corporate responsibility reports that contain extensive information and disclosures about the sustainability-related risks and opportunities we face as a global company since 2001 and provided public reports on our environmental, health, and safety performance since 1994.

▪ Intel is committed to fundamental human rights and has created processes promoting accountability for human rights within our supply chain.

▪ Intel's Board has strong and effective oversight of the company's sustainability efforts and policies for respecting human rights in particular.

▪ The Board believes that this report would be unnecessary and a costly diversion of corporate resources given the company's existing approach to corporate responsibility, our extensive and transparent reporting on our efforts and strong Board oversight of these topics.

**Supporting Discussion**

**Intel's existing reporting takes a comprehensive approach to reporting on key aspects of our responsible business practices**

Our existing corporate responsibility reporting is built on a foundation of transparency, governance, ethics, and respect for human rights, and has been recognized as setting a standard both within the technology industry and among public companies generally. At Intel, our purpose is to build world-changing technology that improves the life of every person on the planet. Intel has publicly released corporate responsibility reports that contain extensive information and disclosures about the sustainability-related risks and opportunities we face as a global company since 2001 and provided public reports on our environmental, health, and safety performance since 1994. We have continually enhanced this reporting over the years. Since 2021, we have advanced our integrated reporting strategy to include environmental, social, and governance information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy Statement, available on our Investor Relations website.

Intel's Corporate Responsibility Report is prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Comprehensive option. We also use other recognized frameworks to inform the content, including the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the Value Reporting Foundation.

Our commitment to environmental stewardship is embodied in Intel's Environmental, Health and Safety Policy and Code of Conduct. The Intel Climate Change Policy outlines our formal position on climate change and provides a more detailed history of our actions in this area.

Related to human rights specifically, since 2016, we have regularly engaged with independent third-party specialists to conduct human rights impact assessments (HRIA) to review our processes and validate our human rights risks across our global footprint. HRIAs are part of our due diligence, conducted in alignment with the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and involve multiple internal and external stakeholders. Our human rights risk analysis is publicly available in our corporate responsibility report. We believe that, to date, our HRIAs confirm that we are working to address our most salient human rights risks.

**Table of Contents**

In 2020, Intel set an ambitious 2030 corporate responsibility "RISE" strategy and goals with the aim of creating a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable world, enabled through our technology and the expertise and passion of our employees. Our "RISE" operational and supply chain goals encompass our efforts on employee health, safety and wellness, supply chain human rights, workforce inclusion, suppler diversity, climate and energy, net positive water, zero waste/circular economy, and community impact. These goals include targets in both our operations and across our global supply chain. Our Corporate Responsibility Report, which includes independent limited assurance of selected environmental, safety, supplier, and diversity data, reports on our annual progress with respect to these goals, including those addressing human rights risks.

**Intel is committed to fundamental human rights and has created processes intended to promote accountability for human rights within our supply chain**

Human rights are the fundamental rights, freedoms, and standards of treatment to which all people are entitled. Respect for human rights is rooted in our values and we expect it to apply wherever we do business. First published in 2009, Intel's Board adopted Global Human Rights Principles (the "Human Rights Policy") formalize Intel's commitment to respect human rights and embodies common principles reflected in the UN Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, core International Labour Organization Conventions, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the laws of the countries in which we operate.

We will continue working to confirm that our global sourcing complies with applicable laws and regulations in the US and in other jurisdictions where we operate and conforms with the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct. We respect the rule of law and seek to operate ethically everywhere we do business, and we work to prevent, detect, and mitigate the risk of Intel being complicit in human rights abuses anywhere in the world where we are aware of such concerns. We will continue looking for continuous improvements in our due diligence processes where practical to help ensure we fulfill our obligations under the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights around the globe and remediate any known issues of forced labor.

At Intel, we maintain and improve our systems with the goal of preventing and avoiding where possible complicity in human rights violations related to our operations, supply chain, and products. Intel has established an integrated approach to managing human rights risks across our business. In addition to board-level oversight and senior-level Management Review Committees, we have established a cross-functional human rights steering committee. This committee is comprised of multiple teams across the organization who are responsible for conducting due diligence and implementing policies and procedures to address our most salient human rights risks and support our adherence to the Human Rights Policy.

One of our 2030 "RISE" goals relates to supply chain human rights. As a founding member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), we strive to hold our global suppliers accountable to the same expectations we have for ourselves. Over the past decade, we have directly engaged with our suppliers to try to verify compliance and build capacity to address risks of forced and bonded labor and other human rights issues. We also engage with indirect suppliers through our programs on forced and bonded labor and responsible minerals. Our significant investments of time and resources are aimed at influencing system-level, industry-wide improvements to protect and empower workers in the global electronics supply chain and to reduce community impacts.

Our efforts to combat forced and bonded labor in our supply chain are ongoing. Since 2014, we have remediated the return of over $25 million in fees to suppliers' workers. Progress was also made in terms of our audits for higher risk suppliers, our assessments for medium risk suppliers, and—for the first time—RBA training for our lower risk suppliers. In 2022, our target was to assess, validate, and—where needed—mitigate the risk level of an additional 12% of suppliers. We are also evaluating the impact of IDM 2.0 supply chain changes. In addition, we plan to continue to assess and audit high-risk tier 2 suppliers on Intel sites .

We also have put in place formal grievance and remedy processes to enable anyone, including employees, employees of Intel's suppliers, and other external stakeholders, to report human rights concerns through our third-party-operated ethics reporting portal. Our policy is to promptly investigate allegations and pursue action to mitigate any adverse human rights impacts, as well as to not tolerate retaliation against anyone who in good faith reports possible violations of law, the Intel Code of Conduct, or other company policies or procedures, questions ongoing or proposed conduct, or participates in an internal investigation.

In addition, although the proposal references our involvement with a particular set of Olympic Games, Intel's partnership spans over many Games (starting with PyeongChang in 2018 and continuing through Paris 2024). We are supportive of the Games' mission to bring together athletes from all over the world to compete, peacefully, and of the symbolism of such a diverse, global event. The Games provide an opportunity for us to innovate and accelerate our technology development. For example, the Games are a catalyst for 5G adoption and acceleration, which is core to our business. The knowledge obtained from the solutions we deploy or help deploy at the Games gives us key insights to develop world-changing technology.

**Table of Contents**

**Intel's Board has strong and effective oversight of the company's sustainability efforts and human rights in particular**

Intel's Board plays a vital and important role in overseeing our sustainability efforts. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating (CGN) Committee oversees issues related to risks arising from the company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices as well as corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives and performance, including to human rights. Our Audit & Finance Committee oversees issues related to financial reporting, internal controls, audit functions, and major financial, product security, cybersecurity risk exposures, our ethics and compliance program, and management's annual enterprise risk management assessment.

Management provides formal updates to the CGN Committee at least twice each year and at least annually to the full Board on the company's ESG performance and disclosure. In 2022, this included a review of the annual Corporate Responsibility Report and updates on issues including environmental sustainability, climate risk, human capital, human rights, political accountability, governance structure, and investor outreach and feedback.

**The Board believes that this report would be unnecessary and a costly diversion of corporate resources given the company's existing approach to corporate responsibility, our extensive and transparent reporting on our efforts, and strong Board oversight of these topics**

As described above, Intel already provides detailed information in our Corporate Responsibility reporting and elsewhere regarding our human rights due diligence, supply chain management, and environmental initiatives. As we respond to the current economic environment by taking aggressive actions to reduce costs, we are especially mindful of our obligation to our stockholders to be good stewards of their capital. Given the extensive information that we already publicly provide, our existing policies, and our active Board oversight, the Board believes that the additional report requested by this proposal is unnecessary, would be a costly diversion of corporate resources and is not in the best interests of our stockholders.

Additional Meeting Information

**How will the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting be conducted?** 

We are pleased this year to again conduct the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting solely online on May 11, 2023 via the Internet through a live webcast and online stockholder tools. We continue to use the virtual annual meeting format to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation by leveraging technology to communicate more effectively and efficiently with our stockholders. This format empowers stockholders to participate fully from any location around the world, at no cost. We have designed the virtual format to enhance stockholder access and participation and protect stockholder rights. For example:

▪ **We Encourage Questions.** Our stockholders have multiple opportunities to submit questions for the meeting. Stockholders may submit a question online in advance or live during the meeting, following the instructions below. During the meeting, we will answer as many stockholder-submitted questions as time permits. As we did last year, we have committed to publishing and answering following the meeting each question received that complies with the meeting rules of conduct.

▪ **We Believe in Transparency.** Although participation in the live webcast (i.e., ability to vote and ask questions) is available only to stockholders as of the record date, anyone (whether or not a stockholder) can view the live webcast and, following completion of the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, a webcast replay, final report of the inspector of election, and answers to questions asked by investors in connection with the annual meeting will be posted to our Investor Relations website at **www.intc.com** and remain for at least one year.

▪ **We Proactively Take Steps to Facilitate Your Participation.** During the annual meeting, proponents of the stockholder proposals included in this proxy statement will have a dedicated call-in line designed to facilitate their ability to present their proposals. In addition, we offer live technical support for all stockholders attending the meeting.

**How do I attend the meeting?** 

You are entitled to attend and participate in the virtual 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting only if you were an Intel stockholder as of the close of business on March 17, 2023 or if you hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. If you are not an Intel stockholder, you may still view the meeting online at **www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/Intel23**.

**Attending Online. If you plan to attend the annual meeting online, please be aware of what you will need to gain admission, as described below.** If you do not comply with the procedures described here for attending the annual meeting online, you will not be able to participate in the annual meeting but may view the annual meeting webcast. Stockholders may participate in the annual meeting by visiting **www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/Intel23**; interested persons who were not stockholders as of the close of business on March 17, 2023 may view, but not participate, in the annual meeting via **www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/Intel23**.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;![intc-20230327_g225.jpg](intc-20230327_g225.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;![intc-20230327_g226.jpg](intc-20230327_g226.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;![intc-20230327_g227.jpg](intc-20230327_g227.jpg) | ![intc-20230327_g228.jpg](intc-20230327_g228.jpg) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Go to **www.proxyvote.com** and follow the instructions provided. | **Call** the applicable number and follow the instructions provided.<br>**For stockholders of record:**<br>(800) 690-6903<br>**For beneficial stockholders:**<br>(800) 454-8683 | **Mail**, complete, sign, date, and mail the proxy card in the return envelope provided to you if you have received a printed version of these proxy materials. | **Scan** this code to your phone to receive all of the meeting details. |

---

Stockholders can vote via the Internet in advance of or during the meeting. Stockholders who attend the virtual annual meeting should follow the instructions at **www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/Intel23** to vote or submit questions during the meeting.

Voting online during the meeting will replace any previous votes.

**Revoking Your Proxy or Changing Your Vote.** Stockholders of record may revoke their proxy at any time before the electronic polls close by submitting a later-dated vote online during the annual meeting, via the Internet, by telephone, by mail, or by delivering instructions to our Corporate Secretary before the annual meeting commences. Beneficial stockholders may revoke any prior voting instructions by contacting the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds their shares or by voting online during the meeting.

**Voting Standards.** On March 17, 2023, the record date for the annual meeting, approximately 4,171,053,000 shares of Intel common stock were outstanding. In order to have a quorum at the meeting, a majority of the shares outstanding entitled to vote on the record date must be present at the scheduled time of the meeting in person or by proxy. Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on each of the director nominees and one vote on each other matter. To be elected, directors must receive a majority of the votes cast (the number of shares voted "for" a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that nominee). Approval of each of the other matters on the agenda requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy during the meeting. For purposes of the advisory vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes to approve executive compensation of our named executive officers, the voting option that receives the greatest number of votes, even if that alternative does not receive a majority of the votes cast, will be the frequency for the advisory vote on the executive compensation of our named executive officers that has been recommended by stockholders.

**Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes.** Abstentions and shares not represented at the meeting have no effect on the election of directors. For each of the other proposals, abstentions have the same effect as "against" votes. If you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the organization that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote your shares with respect to proposals considered to be "non-routine," resulting in a "broker non-vote." Any shares represented by "broker non-votes" are not considered votes cast or entitled to vote and therefore will not impact the outcome of such proposals. We encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to attend the virtual annual meeting.

**Voting Instructions.** If you complete and submit your proxy voting instructions, the individuals named as proxies will follow your instructions. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit proxy voting instructions but do not direct how to vote on each item, the individuals named as proxies will vote as the Board recommends on each proposal. The individuals named as proxies will vote on any other matters properly presented at the annual meeting in accordance with their best judgment. Our Bylaws set forth requirements for advance notice of any nominations or agenda items to be brought up for voting at the annual meeting, and we have not received timely notice of any such matters that we expect to be presented at the annual meeting other than the items described in this proxy statement.

**How are Proxies Solicited and What is the Cost?** 

We will bear the expense of soliciting proxies, and we have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to solicit proxies for a fee of approximately $30,000, plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Our directors, officers, and other employees, without additional compensation, may also solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, e-mail, or otherwise. We are required to request brokers, banks, and other nominees that hold stock in their names to furnish our proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the stock, and we must reimburse these brokers, banks, and other nominees for the expenses of doing so, in accordance with statutory fee schedules.

Other Matters

**2024 Stockholder Proposals or Nominations**

**Stockholder proposals to be included in the proxy statement.** Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, some stockholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in our 2024 proxy statement. These stockholder proposals must be submitted, along with proof of ownership of our stock in accordance with Rule 14a-8, to our principal executive offices in care of our Corporate Secretary by one of the means discussed below in the "Communicating with Us" section of this proxy statement. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in the proposal not being deemed timely received. We must receive all submissions no later than the close of business (5:00 p.m. Pacific Time) on December 2, 2023.

We strongly encourage any stockholder interested in submitting a proposal to contact our Corporate Secretary in advance of this deadline to discuss the proposal, and stockholders may find it helpful to consult knowledgeable counsel with regard to the detailed requirements of applicable securities laws. Submitting a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that we will include it in our proxy statement. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews all stockholder proposals and makes recommendations to the Board for action on such proposals. For information on recommending individuals for consideration as director nominees, see the "Board of Directors Matters; Director Nomination Process" section on **page [33](#i8c5df68f8f1e4c3bbfd9acaaad97aada_49)**.

Intel engages in a continuous quality improvement approach to corporate governance practices. We monitor and evaluate trends and events in corporate governance and compare and evaluate new developments against our current practices; we understand that corporate governance is not static. We seek and receive input from stockholders and other commentators on our practices and policies, and our Board and the Board's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consider this input when reviewing proposals to change practices or policies.

**Director nominations to be included in the proxy statement (Proxy Access).** We have adopted proxy access, whereby a stockholder (or a group of up to 20 stockholders) who has held at least 3% of our stock for three years or more may nominate a director and have that nominee included in our proxy materials, provided that the stockholder and nominee satisfy the requirements specified in our Bylaws. Any stockholder who intends to use these procedures to nominate a candidate for election to the Board for inclusion in our 2024 proxy statement must satisfy the requirements specified in our Bylaws and must provide notice to our Corporate Secretary, which must be received no earlier than the close of business on November 2, 2023 and no later than the close of business on December 2, 2023. The notice of proxy access must include information specified in our Bylaws, including information concerning the nominee and information about the stockholder's ownership of and agreements related to our stock. If the 2024 annual meeting is advanced or delayed more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, a stockholder seeking to nominate a candidate for election to the Board pursuant to the proxy access provisions of the Bylaws must submit notice of any such nomination no earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which the date of such meeting is first publicly announced by Intel.

**Other business and director nominations to be presented at the annual meeting.** In addition, under our Bylaws, a stockholder who intends to nominate a candidate for election to the Board or to propose any business for presentation at our 2024 annual meeting (other than precatory (non-binding) proposals presented under Rule 14a-8) pursuant to the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws, must give notice to our Corporate Secretary between December 13, 2023 and the close of business on January 12, 2024. The notice must include information specified in our Bylaws, including information concerning the nominee or proposal, as the case may be, and information about the stockholder's ownership of and agreements related to our stock. If the 2024 annual meeting is advanced or delayed more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, a stockholder seeking to nominate a candidate for election to the Board or propose any business at our 2024 annual meeting pursuant to the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws must submit notice of any such nomination and of any such proposal that is not made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 by close of business on the later of the 60th day before the 2024 annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which the date of such meeting is first publicly announced by Intel. In addition to satisfying the deadlines in the advance notice provisions of our Bylaws, a stockholder who intends to solicit proxies pursuant to Rule 14a-19 in support of nominees submitted under these advance notice provisions for the 2024 annual meeting must notify our Corporate Secretary in writing not later than the close of business (5:00 p.m. Pacific Time) on March 12, 2024.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports** 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, among others, to file with the SEC an initial report of ownership of our stock on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5. As a matter of practice, our administrative staff assists our executive officers and directors in preparing initial ownership reports and reporting ownership changes, and typically files those reports on their behalf. Based solely on a review of reports filed with the SEC and on written representations from reporting individuals, we believe that all of our officers and directors filed the required reports on a timely basis under Section 16(a) for fiscal year 2022, except that, due to administrative error, an amended Form 3 reporting an omitted 401(K) holding by Ms. Johnston Holthaus was filed after the applicable Form 3 deadline.

**Stockholders Sharing the Same Last Name and Address**

To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials to stockholders who may have more than one account holding Intel stock but who share the same address, we have adopted an SEC-approved procedure called "householding." Under this procedure, certain stockholders of record who have the same address and last name, and who do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, will receive a single copy of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and, as applicable, any additional proxy materials that are delivered until such time as one or more of these stockholders notify us that they want to receive separate copies. This procedure reduces duplicate mailings and saves printing costs and postage fees, as well as natural resources. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

If you receive a single set of proxy materials as a result of householding and you would like to have separate copies of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, annual report, or proxy statement mailed to you, please submit a request to our Corporate Secretary at the address specified above under "Other Matters; Communicating with Us," or call our Investor Relations department at (408) 765-1480, and we will promptly send you the requested materials. However, please note that if you want to receive a paper proxy or voting instruction form or other proxy materials for this year's annual meeting, you will need to follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability that was sent to you. You can also contact our Investor Relations department if you received multiple copies of the annual meeting materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, or if you would like to opt out of householding for future mailings.

If you are a beneficial stockholder and you share an address with other beneficial stockholders, your broker, bank, or other institution is permitted to deliver a single copy of the proxy materials and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to your address, unless you otherwise request separate copies.

By Order of the Board of Directors

Appendix A

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with US GAAP, this document contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in our performance-based RSUs and our cash bonus plans.

Starting in the first quarter of 2022, we incrementally exclude from our non-GAAP results share-based compensation and all gains and losses on equity investments. The adjustment for all gains and losses on equity investments includes the ongoing mark-to-market adjustments previously excluded from our non-GAAP results.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated using an appropriate tax rate for each adjustment, as applicable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with US GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

|:---|:---|:---|
| **Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure** | **Definition** | **Usefulness to Management and Investors** |
| NAND memory business | We completed the first closing of the divestiture of our NAND memory business to SK hynix on December 29, 2021 and fully deconsolidated our ongoing interests in the NAND memory technology and manufacturing business in Q1 2022. | We exclude the impact of our NAND memory business in certain non-GAAP measures. While the second closing of the sale is still pending and subject to closing conditions, we deconsolidated this business in Q1 2022 and management does not view the historical results of the business as a part of our core operations. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model and how management currently evaluates core operational performance. In making these adjustments, we have not made any changes to our methods for measuring and calculating revenue or other financial statement amounts. |
| Acquisition-related adjustments | Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, brands, and customer relationships acquired in connection with business combinations. Charges related to the amortization of these intangibles are recorded within both cost of sales and marketing, general, and administrative expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years. | We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. |

|:---|:---|:---|
| **Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure** | **Definition** | **Usefulness to Management and Investors** |
| Shared-based compensation | Share-based compensation consists of charges related to our employee equity incentive plans. | We exclude charges related to share-based compensation for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe these adjustments provide better comparability to peer company results and because these charges are not viewed by management as part of our core operating performance. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model, how management currently evaluates core operational performance, and additional means to evaluate expense trends, including in comparison to other peer companies. |
| Patent settlement | A portion of the charge from our IP settlements represents a catch-up of cumulative amortization that would have been incurred for the right to use the related patents in prior periods. This charge related to prior periods is excluded from our non-GAAP results; amortization related to the right to use the patents in the current and ongoing periods is included. | We exclude the catch-up charge related to prior periods for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because this adjustment facilitates comparison to past operating results and provides a useful evaluation of our current operating performance. |
| Optane inventory impairment | Beginning in 2022, we initiated the wind-down of our Intel Optane memory business. | We exclude these impairments for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges do not reflect our current operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results. |
| Restructuring and other charges | Restructuring charges are costs associated with a formal restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Other charges include a benefit in Q1 2022 related to the annulled European Commission fine, a charge in Q1 2021 related to the VLSI Technology LLC litigation, periodic goodwill and asset impairments, certain pension charges, and costs associated with restructuring activity. | We exclude restructuring and other charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends. |
| (Gains) losses on equity investments, net | (Gains) losses on equity investments, net consists of ongoing mark-to-market adjustments on marketable equity securities, observable price adjustments on non-marketable equity securities, related impairment charges, and the sale of equity investments and other. | We exclude these non-operating gains and losses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because it provides better comparability between periods. The exclusion reflects how management evaluates the core operations of the business. |

| **Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure** | **Definition** | **Usefulness to Management and Investors** |
| Gains (losses) from divestiture | Gains (losses) are recognized at the close of a divestiture, or over a specified deferral period when deferred consideration is received at the time of closing. Based on our ongoing obligation under the NAND wafer manufacturing and sale agreement entered into in connection with the first closing of the sale of our NAND memory business on December 29, 2021, a portion of the initial closing consideration was deferred and will be recognized between first and second closing. | We exclude gains or losses resulting from divestitures for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because they do not reflect our current operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results. |
| Tax Reform | Adjustments for Tax Reform reflect the impact of a change in tax law from 2017 Tax Reform related to the capitalization of research and development (R&D) costs. | We exclude the impacts of this 2022 change in US tax treatment of R&D costs for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures as we believe these adjustments facilitate a better evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to past operating results. |
| Adjusted free cash flow | We reference a non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow, which is used by management when assessing our sources of liquidity, capital resources, and quality of earnings. Adjusted free cash flow is operating cash flow adjusted for (1) additions to property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from capital grants and partner contributions, (2) payments on finance leases, and (3) proceeds from the McAfee equity sale. | This non-GAAP financial measure is helpful in understanding our capital requirements and sources of liquidity by providing an additional means to evaluate the cash flow trends of our business. Since the 2017 divestiture, McAfee equity distributions and sales have contributed to operating and free cash flow, and while the McAfee equity sale in Q1 2022 would typically be excluded from adjusted free cash flow as an equity sale, we believe including the sale proceeds in adjusted free cash flow facilitates a better, more consistent comparison to past presentations of liquidity. |
| Total cash and investments | Total cash and investments is used by management when assessing our sources of liquidity, which include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and loans receivable and other. | This non-GAAP measure is helpful in understanding our capital resources and liquidity position. |

Additional Executive Compensation Information

**Update on CEO New-Hire Equity Awards**

**Because Intel's stock price has yet to achieve the threshold goal required, none of our CEOs new-hire awards tied to stock price growth have earned any value to date**<br>

In 2021, our CEO received a package of new-hire equity awards intended to induce him to join Intel, replace forfeited equity at his prior employer, and align his incentives with stockholders. The majority of the awards require significant value creation in order to vest, and their terms have become more challenging following the recent actions we have taken in response to stockholder feedback. In addition, our current stock price is materially below the price initially used to set the equity award thresholds. The below table details the current status of these awards, as well as the increase to stock price and market cap that would be required for threshold vesting.

The company made Mr. Schell whole as to the time-vesting RSUs expected to vest in 2022 as of the time Intel was negotiating the offer for Mr. Schell. The company did not make Mr. Schell 100% whole for his outstanding equity awards from his prior employer, and in fact, on a net basis, he forfeited approximately $13 million (M) by leaving his prior employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to determine which persons are eligible to be Participants, to which of such persons, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards, and to grant Awards;

**7. PLAN AWARDS**

(a)*Award Types.* The Committee, on behalf of the Corporation, is authorized under this Plan to grant, award and enter into the following arrangements or benefits under the Plan provided that their terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Such arrangements and benefits are sometimes referred to herein as "Awards." The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that any Award granted hereunder shall be a Performance Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*Stock Options.* A "Stock Option" is a right to purchase a number of Shares at such exercise price, at such times, and on such other terms and conditions as are specified in or determined pursuant to the document(s) evidencing the Award (the "Option Agreement"). The Committee may grant Stock Options intended to be eligible to qualify as incentive stock options ("ISOs") pursuant to Section 422 of the Code and Stock Options that are not intended to qualify as ISOs ("Non-qualified Stock Options"), as it, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)*Stock Appreciation Rights.* A "Stock Appreciation Right" or "SAR" is a right to receive, in cash or stock (as determined by the Committee), value with respect to a specific number of Shares equal to or otherwise based on the excess of (i) the market value of a Share at the time of exercise over (ii) the exercise price of the right, subject to such terms and conditions as are expressed in the document(s) evidencing the Award (the "SAR Agreement").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)*Restricted Stock.* A "Restricted Stock" Award is an award of Shares, the grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of which is subject to such conditions as are expressed in the document(s) evidencing the Award (the "Restricted Stock Agreement").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)*Restricted Stock Unit.* A "Restricted Stock Unit" Award is an award of a right to receive, in cash or stock (as determined by the Committee) the market value of one Share, the grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of which is subject to such conditions as are expressed in the document(s) evidencing the Award (the "Restricted Stock Unit Agreement").

(b)*Grants of Awards.* An Award may consist of one of the foregoing arrangements or benefits or two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative.

**8. EMPLOYEE AND CONSULTANT PARTICIPANT AWARDS**

(a)*Grant, Terms and Conditions of Stock Options and SARs* 

The Committee may grant Stock Options or SARs at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of the Plan to eligible employee and Consultant Participants selected by the Committee. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to Stock Options or SARs hereunder until said Shares have been issued. Each Stock Option or SAR shall be evidenced only by such agreements, notices and/or terms or conditions documented in such form (including by electronic communications) as may be approved by the Committee. Each Stock Option grant will expressly identify the Stock Option as an ISO or as a Non-qualified Stock Option. Stock Options or SARs granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each must contain or be subject to the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*Price.* The purchase price (also referred to as the exercise price) under each Stock Option or SAR granted hereunder shall be established by the Committee. The purchase price per Share shall not be less than 100% of the market value of a Share on the date of grant. For purposes of the Plan, "market value" shall mean the average of the high and low sales prices of the Corporation's common stock. The exercise price of a Stock Option shall be paid in cash or in such other form if and to the extent permitted by the Committee, including without limitation by delivery of already owned Shares, withholding (either actually or by attestation) of Shares otherwise issuable under such Stock Option and/or by payment under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program acceptable to the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)*No Repricing.* Other than in connection with a change in the Corporation's capitalization or other transaction as described in Section 11(a) through (d) of the Plan, the Corporation shall not, without stockholder approval, reduce the purchase price of a Stock Option or SAR and, at any time when the purchase price of a Stock Option or SAR is above the market value of a Share, the Corporation shall not, without stockholder approval (except in the case of a transaction described in Section 11(a) through (d) of the Plan), cancel and re-grant or exchange such Stock Option or SAR for a new Award with a lower (or no) purchase price or for cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)*No Reload Grants.* Stock Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for and shall not be conditioned upon the delivery of Shares to the Corporation in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under any other Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)*Duration, Exercise and Termination of Stock Options and SARs.* Each Stock Option or SAR shall be exercisable at such time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of the Stock Option or SAR as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise any Stock Option or SAR subject to continued service, the passage of time and/or such performance

**Table of Contents**

requirements as deemed appropriate by the Committee. At any time after the grant of a Stock Option, the Committee may reduce or eliminate any restrictions on the Participant's right to exercise all or part of the Stock Option, except that no Stock Option shall first become exercisable within one (1) year from its date of grant, other than upon the death, disability or retirement of the person to whom the Stock Option was granted, in each case as specified in the Option Agreement.

Each Stock Option or SAR that vests in full in less than five (5) years (standard grants) must expire within a period of not more than seven (7) years from the grant date and each Stock Option or SAR that vests in full in five (5) or more years (long-term retention grants) must expire within a period of not more than ten (10) years from the grant date. In each case, the Option Agreement or SAR Agreement may provide for expiration prior to the end of the stated term of the Award in the event of the termination of employment or service of the Participant to whom it was granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)*Suspension or Termination of Stock Options and SARs.* If at any time (including after a notice of exercise has been delivered) the Committee, including any Subcommittee or administrator authorized pursuant to Section 3(b) (any such person, an "Authorized Officer"), reasonably believes that a Participant, other than an Outside Director, has committed an act of misconduct as described in this Section, the Authorized Officer may suspend the Participant's right to exercise any Stock Option or SAR pending a determination of whether an act of misconduct has been committed. If the Committee or an Authorized Officer determines a Participant, other than an Outside Director, has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to Intel, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of Corporation rules resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Corporation, or if a Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure of any Corporation trade secret or confidential information, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, induces any customer to breach a contract with the Corporation or induces any principal for whom Intel acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship, neither the Participant nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any Stock Option or SAR whatsoever. In addition, for any Participant who is designated as an "executive officer" by the Board of Directors, if the Committee determines that the Participant engaged in an act of embezzlement, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty during the Participant's employment that contributed to an obligation to restate the Corporation's financial statements ("Contributing Misconduct"), the Participant shall be required to repay to the Corporation, in cash and upon demand, the Option Proceeds (as defined below) resulting from any sale or other disposition (including to the Corporation) of Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR if the sale or disposition was effected during the twelve-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the financial statements required to be restated. The term "Option Proceeds" means, with respect to any sale or other disposition (including to the Corporation) of Shares issuable or issued upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR, an amount determined appropriate by the Committee to reflect the effect of the restatement, up to the amount equal to the number of Shares sold or disposed of multiplied by the difference between the market value per Share at the time of such sale or disposition and the exercise price. The return of Option Proceeds is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Corporation due to the executive officer's Contributing Misconduct. Any determination by the Committee or an Authorized Officer with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties. For any Participant who is an executive officer, the determination of the Committee or of the Authorized Officer shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)*Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Stock Options or SARs.* Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee may provide that the Shares issued upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR shall be subject to such further conditions or agreements as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Stock Option or SAR, including, without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions. The obligation to make payments with respect to SARs may be satisfied through cash payments or the delivery of Shares, or a combination thereof as the Committee shall determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)*Other Terms and Conditions.* Stock Options and SARs may also contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the foregoing terms, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)*ISOs.* Stock Options intending to qualify as ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Corporation within the meaning of the Code, as determined by the Committee. No ISO shall be granted to any person if immediately after the grant of such Award, such person would own stock, including stock subject to outstanding Awards held by him or her under the Plan or any other plan established by the Corporation, amounting to more than ten percent (10%)

of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation. To the extent that the Option Agreement specifies that a Stock Option is intended to be treated as an ISO, the Stock Option is intended to qualify to the greatest extent possible as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and shall be so construed; provided, however, that any such designation shall not be interpreted as a representation, guarantee or other undertaking on the part of the Corporation that the Stock Option is or will be determined to qualify as an ISO. If and to the extent that any Shares are issued under a portion of any Stock Option that exceeds the $100,000 limitation of Section 422 of the Code, such Shares shall not be treated as issued under an ISO notwithstanding any designation otherwise. Certain decisions, amendments, interpretations and actions by the Committee and certain actions by a Participant may cause a Stock Option to cease to qualify as an ISO pursuant to the Code and by accepting a Stock Option the Participant agrees in advance to such disqualifying action.

(b)*Grant, Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units*

The Committee may grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of the Plan to eligible employee and Consultant Participants selected by the Committee. A Participant shall have rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award hereunder only to the extent specified in this Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement evidencing such Award. Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced only by such agreements, notices and/or terms or conditions documented in such form (including by electronic communications) as may be approved by the Committee. Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each must contain or be subject to the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*Terms and Conditions.* Each Restricted Stock Agreement and each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (a) the number of Shares subject to such Award or a formula for determining such, (b) the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment for the Shares, (c) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (d) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the Shares as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, (e) restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and (f) such further terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)*Sale Price.* Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee shall determine the price, if any, at which Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be sold or awarded to a Participant, which may vary from time to time and among Participants and which may be below the market value of such Shares at the date of grant or issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)*Share Vesting.* The grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of Shares under Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be at such time and in such installments as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance, ability to retain and/or vesting of Shares under Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards subject to continued service, passage of time and/or such performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria as deemed appropriate by the Committee, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. No condition that is based on performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria shall be based on performance over a period of less than one year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)*Termination of Employment or Service.* The Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may provide for the forfeiture or cancellation of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award, in whole or in part, in the event of the termination of employment or service of the Participant to whom it was granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)*Restricted Stock Units.* Except to the extent this Plan or the Committee specifies otherwise, Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Corporation and do not confer any of the rights of a stockholder until Shares are issued thereunder. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units upon expiration of the deferral or vesting period shall be made in Shares or otherwise as determined by the Committee. Dividends or dividend equivalent rights shall be payable in cash or in additional shares with respect to Restricted Stock Units only to the extent specifically provided for by the Committee and subject to the limitations of Section 10(c). Until a Restricted Stock Unit is settled, the number of Shares represented by a Restricted Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. Any Restricted Stock Units that are settled after the Participant's death shall be distributed to the Participant's designated beneficiary(ies) or, if none was designated, the Participant's estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)*Suspension or Termination of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.* If at any time an Authorized Officer reasonably believes that a Participant, other than an Outside Director, has committed an act of misconduct as described in this Section, the Authorized Officer may suspend the vesting of Shares under the Participant's Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards pending a determination of whether an act of

**Table of Contents**

misconduct has been committed. If the Committee or an Authorized Officer determines a Participant, other than an Outside Director, has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to Intel, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of Corporation rules resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Corporation, or if a Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure of any Corporation trade secret or confidential information, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, induces any customer to breach a contract with the Corporation or induces any principal for whom Intel acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship, the Participant's Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be forfeited and cancelled. In addition, for any Participant who is designated as an "executive officer" by the Board of Directors, if the Committee determines that the Participant engaged in an act of embezzlement, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty during the Participant's employment that contributed to an obligation to restate the Corporation's financial statements ("Contributing Misconduct"), the Participant shall be required to repay to the Corporation, in cash and upon demand, the Restricted Stock Proceeds (as defined below) resulting from any sale or other disposition (including to the Corporation) of Shares issued or issuable upon the vesting of Restricted Stock or a Restricted Stock Unit if the sale or disposition was effected during the twelve-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the financial statements required to be restated. The term "Restricted Stock Proceeds" means, with respect to any sale or other disposition (including to the Corporation) of Shares issued or issuable upon vesting of Restricted Stock or a Restricted Stock Unit, an amount determined appropriate by the Committee to reflect the effect of the restatement, up to the amount equal to the market value per Share at the time of such sale or other disposition multiplied by the number of Shares or units sold or disposed of. The return of Restricted Stock Proceeds is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Corporation due to the executive officer's Contributing Misconduct. Any determination by the Committee or an Authorized Officer with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties. For any Participant who is an executive officer, the determination of the Committee or of the Authorized Officer shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

**9. OUTSIDE DIRECTOR AWARDS**

The number of Awards granted to each Outside Director in a fiscal year of the Corporation ("Outside Director Awards") is limited, so that the grant date fair value of all Outside Director Awards granted by the Board of Directors combined with all cash-based compensation earned in the same fiscal year, may not exceed $1,250,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the foregoing limitation shall be subject to adjustment under Section 11. The number of Shares subject to each Outside Director Award, or the formula pursuant to which such number shall be determined, the type or types of Awards included in the Outside Director Awards, the date of grant and the vesting, expiration and other terms applicable to such Outside Director Awards shall be specified from time to time by the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of this Plan, including the terms specified in Section 8. If the Board of Directors reasonably believes that an Outside Director has committed an act of misconduct as specified in Section 8(a)(v) or 8(b)(vi), the Board of Directors may suspend the Outside Director's right to exercise any Stock Option or SAR and/or the vesting of any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award pending a determination of whether an act of misconduct has been committed. If the Board of Directors determines that an Outside Director has committed an act of misconduct, neither the Outside Director nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any Stock Option or SAR whatsoever and shall forfeit any unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award.

**10. OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS**

(a)*Transferability.* Unless the agreement or other document evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly states that the Award is transferable as provided hereunder, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may grant an Award or amend an outstanding Award to provide that the Award is transferable or assignable (a) in the case of a transfer without the payment of any consideration, to any "family member" as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(5) of the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as such may be amended from time to time, and (b) in any transfer described in clause (ii) of Section 1(a)(5) of the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the 1933 Act as amended from time to time, *provided* that following any such transfer or assignment the Award will remain subject to substantially the same terms applicable to the Award while held by the Participant to whom it was granted, as modified as the Committee shall determine appropriate, and as a condition to such transfer the transferee shall execute an agreement agreeing to be bound by such terms; *provided further*, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance that does not qualify under this Section 10(a) shall be void and unenforceable against the Corporation.

(b)*Performance Criteria.* For purposes of this Plan, the term "Performance Criteria" shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Corporation as a whole or to a business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years' results or to a designated comparison group, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or non-GAAP basis, in each case as specified by the Committee in the Award: (a) cash flow, (b) earnings per share, (c) earnings before one or more of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (d) return on equity, (e) total stockholder return, (f) share price performance, (g) return on capital, (h) return on assets or net assets, (i) revenue, (j) income or net income, (k) operating income or net operating income, (l) operating profit or net operating profit, (m) gross margin, operating margin or profit margin, (n) return on operating revenue, (o) return on invested capital, (p) market segment share, (q) product release schedules, (r) new product innovation, (s) product cost reduction through advanced technology, (t) brand recognition/acceptance, (u) product ship targets, or (v) customer satisfaction. The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in or provisions under tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) any infrequently occurring or other unusual items, either under applicable accounting provisions or described in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Corporation's annual report to stockholders for the applicable year, and (vi) any other events as the Committee shall deem appropriate, if such adjustment is timely approved in connection with the establishment of Performance Criteria. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any completion of any Performance Criteria, to the extent specified at the time of grant of an Award, the number of Shares, Stock Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Units or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award on account of satisfaction of such Performance Criteria may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.

(c)*Dividends.* Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no adjustment shall be made in Shares issuable under Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Shares prior to their issuance under any Award. The Committee shall specify whether dividends or dividend equivalent amounts shall be credited and/or payable to any Participant with respect to the Shares subject to any Award; provided, however, that in no event will dividends or dividend equivalents be credited or payable in respect of Stock Options or SARs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends or dividend equivalents credited/payable in connection with an Award that is not yet vested shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying Award and shall not be paid until the underlying Award vests.

(d)*Documents Evidencing Awards.* The Committee shall, subject to applicable law, determine the date an Award is deemed to be granted. The Committee or, except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, its delegate(s) may establish the terms of agreements or other documents evidencing Awards under this Plan and may, but need not, require as a condition to any such agreement's or document's effectiveness that such agreement or document be executed by the Participant, including by electronic signature or other electronic indication of acceptance, and that such Participant agree to such further terms and conditions as specified in such agreement or document. The grant of an Award under this Plan shall not confer any rights upon the Participant holding such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in this Plan as being applicable to such type of Award (or to all Awards) or as are expressly set forth in the agreement or other document evidencing such Award.

(e)*Additional Restrictions on Awards.* Either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Committee may, but need not, impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by a Participant of any Shares issued under an Award, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant or Participants, and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for receipt, resales or other transfers of such Shares.

(f)*Subsidiary Awards.* In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by or providing services to a Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs, be implemented by Intel issuing any subject Shares to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Award may be issued by and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Committee shall determine.

(g)*Compensation Recovery*. This provision applies to any policy adopted by any exchange on which the securities of the Corporation are listed pursuant to Section 10D of the Exchange Act. To the extent any such policy requires the repayment of incentive-based compensation received by a Participant, whether paid pursuant to an Award granted under this Plan or any other plan of incentive-based compensation maintained in the past or adopted in the future by the Corporation, by accepting an Award under this Plan, the Participant agrees to the repayment of such amounts to the extent required by such policy and applicable law.

**11. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN THE COMMON STOCK**

(a)The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges, or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issuance of Shares or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or other securities of the Corporation or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. Further, except as expressly provided herein or by the Committee, (i) the issuance by the Corporation of shares of stock or any class of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, (ii) the payment of a dividend in property other than Shares, or (iii) the occurrence of any similar transaction, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to Stock Options or other Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per Share, unless the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, that an adjustment is necessary or appropriate.

(b)If the outstanding Shares or other securities of the Corporation, or both, for which the Award is then exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar equity restructuring transaction (as that term is used in Accounting Standards Codification 718) affecting the Shares or other securities of the Corporation, the Committee shall equitably adjust the number and kind of Shares or other securities that are subject to this Plan and to the limits under Sections 6 and 9 and that are subject to any Awards theretofore granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares or other securities subject to such Awards without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price, if any.

(c)No right to purchase fractional Shares shall result from any adjustment in Stock Options or SARs pursuant to this Section 11. In case of any such adjustment, the Shares subject to the Stock Option or SAR shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(d)Any other provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding (except Section 11(a)), in the event Intel is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by Intel (if Intel is a surviving corporation), for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in cash.

**12. LISTING OR QUALIFICATION OF COMMON STOCK**

In the event that the Committee determines in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares available for issuance under the Plan on any securities exchange or quotation or trading system or under any applicable law or governmental regulation is necessary as a condition to the issuance of such Shares, a Stock Option or SAR may not be exercised in whole or in part and a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not vest or be settled unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been unconditionally obtained.

**13. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN**

The Board of Directors may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan and the Board or the Committee may to the extent permitted by the Plan amend any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan, provided, however, that the Corporation shall submit for stockholder approval any amendment (other than an amendment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of Section 11) required to be submitted for stockholder approval by Nasdaq or that otherwise would:

(a)Increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;

(b)Reduce the price at which Stock Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a);

(c)Reduce the option price of outstanding Stock Options;

(d)Extend the term of this Plan;

(e)Change the class of persons eligible to be Participants; or

(f)Increase the limits in Section 6(b).

In addition, no such amendment or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any Participant, without such Participant's consent, under any Award theretofore granted, provided that no such consent shall be required with respect to any amendment or alteration if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Corporation, the Plan or the Award to satisfy or conform to any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated.

**14. WITHHOLDING**

To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Stock Option, SAR, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award, or any sale of Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied. To the extent permitted or required by the Committee, these obligations may or shall be satisfied by having the Corporation withhold a portion of the Shares of stock that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award or by tendering Shares previously acquired by the Participant.

**15. GENERAL PROVISIONS**

(a)*No Right to Employment, Directorship, or Consultancy.* Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Award nor any action by the Corporation, any Subsidiary or the Committee shall be held or construed to confer upon any person any right to continue to be an employee, Outside Director, or Consultant of the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The Corporation and each Subsidiary expressly reserve the right to discharge, without liability but subject to his or her rights under this Plan, any Participant whenever in the sole discretion of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, it may determine to do so.

(b)*Governing Law.* This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law. The Committee may provide that any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Award to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability.

(c)*Unfunded Plan.* Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are granted Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Corporation or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan.

(d)*Third Party Administrator.* In connection with a Participant's participation in the Plan, the Corporation may use the services of a third party administrator, including a brokerage firm administrator, and the Corporation may provide this administrator with personal information about a Participant, including a Participant's name, social security number and address, as well as the details of each Award, and this administrator may provide information to the Corporation concerning the exercise of a Participant's rights and account data as it relates to Awards under the Plan.

**16. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN**

Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Corporation for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

**17. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS**

This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Corporation to sell, issue or deliver Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Corporation shall not be required to register in a Participant's name or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such Shares under any federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Corporation is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Corporation's counsel to be necessary or advisable for the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, the Corporation shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Stock Option shall be exercisable and no Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Shares underlying such Stock Option is effective and current or the Corporation has determined that such registration is unnecessary.

**18. LIABILITY OF CORPORATION**

The Corporation shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Corporation has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Corporation's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Stock Option or other Award granted hereunder.
