(d)        Election of New Director.
On March 12, 2024, the Board appointed Stacy J. Smith to the Board, effective immediately. The Board determined that Mr. Smith qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the published listing requirements of Nasdaq, and he has been appointed to the Audit & Finance Committee. Mr. Smith was selected as a director based on his extensive experience in the semiconductor industry, as a chief financial officer and as a public company director, as summarized below.
Mr. Smith, 61, serves as Executive Chairman for Kioxia Corporation (formerly Toshiba Memory) and is the Chairman of Autodesk, Inc. Kioxia was formed from the carve-out of Toshiba’s semiconductor business in 2018 and is a worldwide leader in NAND memory solutions with headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. Autodesk is a leader in making software for people who make things, ranging from manufacturing, construction, architecture, engineering, games, and movies. Mr. Smith also serves on the board for Wolfspeed, Inc., The California Chapter of The Nature Conservancy Board of Trustees, and the University of Texas McCombs School of Business Advisory Board.
Mr. Smith has over three decades of leadership experience in the semiconductor industry, including from his career at Intel Corporation from 1988 until his retirement in 2018. He was most recently Executive Vice President, Group President, Manufacturing, Operations & Sales at Intel from 2017 to 2018 and Executive Vice President, Operations & Sales from 2016 to 2017, during which time he oversaw the company’s global technology and manufacturing groups and its worldwide sales organization. Prior to that, he served nine years as Intel’s chief financial officer (CFO) from 2007 to 2016, overseeing the company’s global finance organization, including finance, accounting and reporting, tax, treasury, internal audit and investor relations; Intel Capital; information technology; and the Corporate Strategy Office. Earlier in his tenure at Intel, he held the position of chief information officer (CIO) and was general manager of Intel Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). He has managed with Intel in the U.S., Asia, Europe and Latin America. Mr. Smith previously served on the Board of Directors for Metromile, Inc., Virgin America Inc., Gevo, Inc. and the Silicon Valley branch of the American Heart Association. Mr. Smith is a graduate of the University of Texas, where he earned his MBA degree in finance in 1988.
Mr. Smith will receive the standard compensation payable to non-employee directors of the Board. Pursuant to these arrangements, he will be paid the standard annual cash retainer (in addition to any committee fees), which will be pro-rated for his first year of service. In addition, in the second quarter of 2024, Mr. Smith will be granted an award of non-employee director time-based restricted stock units with a value on the grant date of approximately $36,667, which is pro-rated from the value of the annual award granted to Intel’s non-employee directors in May 2023. The award will vest on the earlier of May 11, 2024 and the date of Intel’s 2024 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the same schedule as the annual award granted to Intel’s other non-employee directors in May 2023, subject to Mr. Smith’s continued service on the Board.
Mr. Smith will also enter into Intel’s standard form of directors’ indemnification agreement with Intel, pursuant to which Intel agrees to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain conditions to advance expenses in connection with proceedings as described in the indemnification agreement.
Mr. Smith does not have any family relationship with any director or executive officer of Intel, or person nominated or chosen by Intel to become a director or executive officer, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
