Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan at the White House to finalize a deal giving the US government a nearly 10% equity stake in the beleaguered chipmaker. Under the Friday agreement, the US will receive 433,323,000 shares of common stock — representing 9.9% of the fully diluted common shares in Intel — with the government pledging to release nearly $8.87 billion in funding under the Chips and Science Act, people familiar with the terms said, speaking on condition of anonymity to outline the deal before it was formally unveiled. That represents the remaining Chips Act funding that was awarded but not yet distributed to Intel, they said. The shares are non-voting and there is no board seat for the US government, according to the people. Tan was at the Commerce Department building on Friday finalizing the deal. The US taking partial ownership marks a stunning level of intervention in an American company, cutting against the principles of free-market capitalism that investors and policymakers have long considered sacrosanct except in the most extraordinary situations such as war or a systemic economic crisis.
