On March 23, 2009, Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Company”) filed a Preliminary Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Intel to be held on May 20, 2009 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”), which among other things contains a proposal to be submitted to the Company’s stockholders to approve a stock option exchange program for employees other than the Company’s named executive officers and directors (the “Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program”). In connection with the Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program, Intel is herewith filing:
a)   Excerpts from Q&A with Brit Wittman, Director of Executive Compensation and Corporate Compensation Design, for employees regarding the Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program.
Neither the Preliminary Proxy Statement nor the communications attached as exhibits to this Schedule TO constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options to exchange those options. The Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program will only be commenced, if at all, if the Company’s stockholders approve the Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program.
The Stock Option Exchange Program has not commenced and is conditioned upon stockholder approval. Intel will file a Tender Offer Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) upon the commencement of the Stock Option Exchange Program, which Intel option holders should read before participating in the program, as it will contain important information. Intel option holders will be able to obtain the written materials described above and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, option holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed by Intel with the SEC by directing a written request to: Intel Corporation, 2200 Mission College Boulevard, Santa Clara, California, 95054-1549, Attention: Investor Relations.
