Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Intel Corporation, Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
1. The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements of
Intel Corporation ("Intel," the "Company" or the "Registrant") have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 1996. The interim
financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair
statement of results for the interim periods presented. The interim
financial statements should be read in connection with the financial
statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 28, 1996.
2. In May 1997, the stockholders approved an increase in the Company's
authorized shares of Common Stock to 4.5 billion. On July 13, 1997, the
Company effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of a special stock
distribution to stockholders of record as of June 10, 1997. All share, per
share, Common Stock, capital in excess of par value and warrant amounts
here-in have been restated to reflect the effect of this split.

Other income for the six months ended June 28, 1997 consists primarily of
gains on sales of equity investments.
4. Earnings per common and common equivalent share as presented on the face of
the statements of income represent primary earnings per share. Dual
presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share has not been
made because the differences are insignificant.
Effective December 27, 1997, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." At that time,
the Company will be required to change the method currently used to
calculate earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. The new
requirements will include a calculation of basic earnings per share, from
which the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants will be excluded.
The basic earnings per share are expected to reflect an increase of $.09 and
$.04 per share for the quarters ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996,
respectively, over the primary earnings per share reported for these
quarters. For the six month periods then ended, the increases are expected
to be $.20 and $.09 per share, respectively. A calculation of diluted
earnings per share will also be required; however, this is not expected to
differ materially from the Company's reported primary earnings per share.
Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Intel Corporation, Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(continued)
5. As more fully described in the Company's Annual Report, Intel enters into
derivative financial instruments to reduce financial market risks. These
instruments are used to hedge foreign currency, equity and interest rate
market exposures of underlying assets, liabilities and other obligations.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative
or trading purposes. The Company's accounting policies for these
instruments are based on the Company's designation of such instruments as
hedging transactions. The criteria the Company uses for designating an
instrument as a hedge include the instrument's effectiveness in risk
reduction and one-to-one matching of derivative instruments to underlying
transactions. Gains and losses on currency forward contracts, and options
that are designated and effective as hedges of anticipated transactions,
for which a firm commitment has been attained, are deferred and recognized
in income in the same period that the underlying transactions are settled.
Gains and losses on currency forward contracts, options and swaps that are
designated and effective as hedges of existing transactions are recognized
in income in the same period as losses and gains on the underlying
transactions are recognized and generally offset. Gains and losses on any
instruments not meeting the above criteria would be recognized in income
in the current period. If an underlying hedged transaction is terminated
earlier than initially anticipated, the offsetting gain or loss on the
related derivative instrument is recognized in income in the same period.
Subsequent gains or losses on the related derivative instrument are
recognized in income in each period until the instrument matures, is
terminated or is sold. Income or expense on swaps is accrued as an
adjustment to the yield of the related investments or debt they hedge.
Cash flows associated with derivative transactions are reported as
arising from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash
flows.
6. A $300 million reverse repurchase arrangement originally payable in 2001
was reclassified from long-term debt to short-term during the first quarter
of 1997. During the second quarter of 1997 the debt was repaid by the
Company. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company borrowed a total of
44 million Irish punts (approximate U.S. dollar equivalent of $68 million)
due 2000-2017 at interest rates ranging from 5% to 7%. The borrowings were
made in connection with the financing of a factory in Ireland, and Intel
has invested the proceeds in Irish punt denominated instruments of similar
maturity to hedge foreign currency and interest rate exposures.
7. During the first half of 1997, the Company repurchased 28.4 million shares
of Common Stock under the Company's authorized repurchase program at a
cost of $2.1 billion. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company's
Board of Directors approved an increase in the repurchase program of up
to 60 million additional shares, bringing the total authorization to 280
million shares. As of June 28, 1997, after allowing for the outstanding
put warrants, approximately 60.8 million shares remained available under
the repurchase program. (See Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
for subsequent activity.)
8. In a series of private placements during the 1991-1997 period, the Company
sold put warrants that entitle the holder of each warrant to sell to the
Company, by physical delivery, one share of Common Stock at a specified
price. Activity during the first half of 1997 is summarized as follows:

Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Intel Corporation, Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(continued)
A total of 9 million warrants were sold to banks and investment banks
during April and May of 1997. They expire on various dates between August
1997 and May 1998 and have exercise prices ranging from $71 to $73 per
share, with an average exercise price of $72. The 21 million put warrants
outstanding on June 28, 1997 expire on various dates between August 1997
and May 1998 and have exercise prices ranging from $71 to $81 per share,
with an average exercise price of $75. The amount related to the Company's
potential buyback obligation has been reclassified from Stockholders' Equity
and recorded as put warrants. There is no material dilutive effect on
earnings per share for the periods presented. (See Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis for subsequent activity.)
9. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information," in fiscal 1998. Both Standards will require
additional disclosure, but will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and is expected to first be reflected in the Company's first quarter of
1998 interim financial statements. Components of comprehensive income
include items such as net income and changes in value of available-for-
sale securities. SFAS No. 131 changes the way companies report segment
information and requires segments to be determined based on how
management measures performance and makes decisions about allocating
resources. SFAS No. 131 will first be reflected in the Company's
1998 Annual Report.
10. Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) brought suit in Federal District Court
in Massachusetts on May 13, 1997, alleging that Intel has infringed ten
patents in making, using, selling and offering to sell microprocessor
products, including Pentium(R) and Pentium(R) Pro (including Pentium(R)
II) microprocessor families. DEC is seeking both an injunction and
monetary damages, including triple damages for Intel's alleged willful
infringement of the patents. The injunction, if granted, would prohibit
Intel from using DEC's patented technology in its microprocessor
products. The Company believes that its products do not infringe the DEC
patents and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. Although the
ultimate outcome of this lawsuit cannot be determined at this time,
management, including internal counsel, does not believe that the outcome
of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or overall trends in results of operations.
Cyrix Corporation brought suit in Federal District Court in Texas on May
13, 1997, alleging that Intel has infringed two patents relating to
Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium II microprocessors. The suit seeks
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief along with unspecified damages.
The Company believes that its products do not infringe the Cyrix patents
and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. Although the ultimate outcome
of this lawsuit cannot be determined at this time, management, including
internal counsel, does not believe that the outcome of this litigation
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
or overall trends in results of operations.
A former employee of the Company filed an action on September 9, 1996,
alleging that Intel's products infringe a patent issued to the plaintiff and
that Intel wrongfully terminated his employment with Intel. The suit seeks
both monetary damages and injunctive relief. Expert witness discovery
closed on July 1, 1997. The plaintiff's expert witness has opined that the
plaintiff is entitled to $1.2 billion in damages for Intel's alleged
patent infringement. Intel's expert witnesses have opined that, should
the plaintiff prevail in the case, he would be entitled to nominal
damages only. The Company believes that its products do not infringe
the plaintiff's patent and intends to continue to defend this lawsuit
vigorously. Although the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit cannot be
determined at this time, management, including internal counsel, does not
believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of
operations.

11. On July 27, 1997 the Company announced it had entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire Chips and Technologies, Inc. and on August 1, 1997 the
Company commenced a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Chips and
Technologies at a price of $17.50 per share. The tender offer will expire on
August 28, 1997. The Company expects that the funds required to complete the
transaction will be approximately $416 million. This acquisition is
subject to the successful completion of the tender offer and the receipt of
certain governmental and regulatory approvals. Subsequent to the Company's
announcement, certain shareholders of Chips and Technologies filed several
separate lawsuits, each claiming class action status, in state and federal
courts against Chips and Technologies, Inc. and its board of directors. The
suits challenge and seek to enjoin the pending tender offer by the Company.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations - Second Quarter of 1997 Compared to Second Quarter
of 1996
Revenues for Q2 1997 increased by 29% compared to Q2 1996. Higher volumes of
Pentium(R) processors, including processors with MMX(TM) media enhancement
technology (collectively the "Pentium processor family"), and Pentium(R) Pro and
Pentium(R) II processors, as well as a shift in mix toward higher performance
processors, drove the overall growth in revenues. Chipsets also showed
significant revenue growth between these periods. Royalty revenues were down in
Q2 1997 from a higher than normal level in Q2 1996.
Cost of sales rose by 9% from Q2 1996 to Q2 1997. The percentage increase in
costs was less than the increase in revenues as a result of shifts in product
mix and factory efficiencies due to increased volumes. However, start-up costs
were higher in Q2 1997 than in Q2 1996 due to the start-up of the .25 micron
microprocessor manufacturing process in Q2 1997. Gross margin increased to 61%
in Q2 1997 from 53% in Q2 1996 primarily due to the changes in mix and to a
lesser extent due to the volume efficiencies. Gross margin in Q2 1996 included
the effect of the higher than normal royalty revenues.
For Q2 1997 and Q2 1996, a majority of the Company's revenues, and a
substantial majority of its gross margin, were derived from sales of Pentium
processor family products, including related board-level products. Sales of
Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors and related board-level products
represented a significant portion of the Company's revenues and gross margin
for the second quarter of 1997.
Research and development expenses and marketing, general and administrative
expenses rose by a total of $323 million, or 34%, from Q2 1996 to Q2 1997,
primarily due to higher levels of research and development spending on process
and product technology, and higher merchandising, Intel Inside(R) program and
profit dependent expenses. Expenses were 21% of revenues in Q2 of 1997, the
same as Q2 1996.
Interest and other income for Q2 1997 increased by $130 million over the prior
year due primarily to the higher average investment balance in Q2 1997 and
gains on sales of equity investments.
The provision for taxes for Q2 1997 increased by $345 million over the prior
year primarily as a result of higher pretax earnings. The effective tax rate
increased slightly from 35% for Q2 1996 to 35.5% for Q2 1997.
Results of Operations - First Half of 1997 Compared to First Half of 1996
Revenues for the first half of 1997 increased by 34% compared to the first half
of 1996. Higher volumes of Pentium processor family processors, and Pentium Pro
and Pentium II processors, as well as a shift in mix toward higher performance
processors, drove the overall growth in revenues. Chipsets also showed
significant revenue growth between these periods. Sales of board-level products
and royalty revenues were down in the first half of 1997 from the first half
of 1996.
Cost of sales rose by 2% from the first half of 1996 to the first half of 1997.
The percentage increase in costs was less than the increase in revenues as a
result of shifts in product mix and factory efficiencies due to increased
volumes. However, start-up costs were higher in the first half of 1997 than
in the prior year due to the start-up of the .25 micron microprocessor
manufacturing process in the first half of 1997. Gross margin increased to 63%
in the first half of 1997 from 51% in the first half of 1996 primarily due to
the changes in mix and to a lesser extent due to the volume efficiencies. Gross
margin in the first half of 1996 included the effect of the higher than normal
royalty revenues.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations - First Half of 1997 Compared to First Half of 1996
(continued)
For the first half of 1997 and 1996, a majority of the Company's revenues,
and a substantial majority of its gross margin, were derived from sales of
Pentium processor family products, including related board-level products.
Sales of Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors and related board-level products
represented a significant portion of the Company's revenues and gross margin
for the first half of 1997.
Research and development expenses and marketing, general and administrative
expenses rose by a total of $679 million, or 36%, from the first half of 1996
to the first half of 1997, primarily due to higher levels of research and
development spending on process and product technology, and higher
merchandising, Intel Inside(R) program and profit dependent expenses. Expenses
were 21% of revenues in the first half of 1997 versus 20% in the first half of
1996.
Interest and other income for the first half of 1997 increased by $269 million
over the prior year due primarily to the higher average investment balance in
the first half of 1997 and gains on sales of equity investments.
The provision for taxes for the first half of 1997 increased by $955 million
over the prior year primarily as a result of higher pretax earnings. The
effective tax rate increased slightly from 35% for the first half of 1996 to
35.5% for the first half of 1997.
Financial Condition
The Company's financial condition remains very strong. As of June 28, 1997,
cash, trading assets and short- and long-term investments totaled $9.5 billion,
up from $9.3 billion at December 28, 1996. The Company's other sources of
liquidity include credit lines, which are generally uncommitted, and authorized
commercial paper borrowings together totaling approximately $1.8 billion. The
Company also maintains the authority to issue an aggregate of approximately
$1.4 billion in debt, equity and other securities under Securities and Exchange
Commission shelf registration statements.
The Company funded most of its investment needs during the first half of 1997
with cash generated from operations, which totaled $4.1 billion. Major uses of
cash during the first half of 1997 included capital spending of $1.8 billion
for property, plant and equipment, primarily for microprocessor manufacturing
capacity, and $2.1 billion to buy back 28.4 million shares of Common Stock. In
addition, there were net debt repayments of $440 million in the first half of
1997.
The Company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 37% of net
revenues for the six month period ended June 28, 1997. At June 28, 1997, these
customers accounted for approximately 33% of net accounts receivable.
Key financing activities in the first half of 1997 included the repurchase of
28.4 million shares of Common Stock for $2.1 billion as part of the Company's
authorized stock repurchase program. The Company also sold 21 million put
warrants, receiving proceeds of $141 million, while 9 million previously
outstanding put warrants expired unexercised. From June 28, 1997 through
August 7, 1997, the Company repurchased 2.0 million shares of its Common
Stock at a cost of $197 million. In addition, 16 million put warrants expired
upon the Company's stock price reaching certain levels above the exercise price
for such warrants. As of August 7, 1997, Intel had the potential obligation to
repurchase 5 million shares of Common Stock at an aggregate cost of $370
million under outstanding put warrants. The exercise price of these outstanding
warrants ranged from $72 to $81 per share, with an average exercise price of
$74 per share. During the first half of 1997, the Company's Board of Directors
approved an increase of up to 60 million additional shares in the Company's
repurchase program. This increase brings the total authorization to 280 million
shares. As of August 7, 1997, 74.8 million shares remained available for
repurchase under the repurchase authorization, after allowing for the
outstanding put warrants.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
Financial Condition (continued)
On July 27, 1997 the Company announced it had entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire Chips and Technologies, Inc. and on August 1, 1997 the
Company commenced a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Chips and
Technologies at a price of $17.50 per share. The tender offer will expire on
August 28, 1997. The Company expects that the funds required to complete the
transaction will be approximately $416 million. This acquisition is subject to
the successful completion of the tender offer and the receipt of certain
governmental and regulatory approvals. Subsequent to the Company's
announcement, certain shareholders of Chips and Technologies filed several
separate lawsuits, each claiming class action status, in state and federal
courts against Chips and Technologies, Inc. and its board of directors. The
suits challenge and seek to enjoin the pending tender offer by the Company.
Management considers cash flow from operations and available sources of
liquidity to be adequate to meet business requirements in the foreseeable
future, including the acquisition described above and planned capital
expenditure programs, working capital requirements, the put warrant obligation
and the dividend program.
Outlook
The outlook section contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of
which are based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially.
The Company expects revenue for the third quarter of 1997 to be flat to
slightly up from the second quarter revenue of $6.0 billion. Revenue is partly
a function of the mix of microprocessors and related motherboards and the mix
of microprocessor types and speeds, all of which are difficult to forecast.
Because of the large price difference between types of microprocessors, this
mix affects the average price Intel will realize and has a large impact on
Intel's revenues. In addition, the Company expects to continue to reduce
microprocessor prices systematically, focused on moving higher performance
products into the mainstream.
Intel's strategy has been, and continues to be, to introduce ever-higher
performance microprocessors. To implement this strategy, the Company plans
to cultivate new businesses and continue to work with the software industry
to develop compelling applications that can take advantage of this higher
performance, thus driving demand toward the newer products. In line with this
strategy, the Company introduced the Pentium II processor in May 1997. This
processor combines the advanced technologies of the Pentium Pro processor with
MMX media enhancement technology. During the second quarter, the Company also
introduced a 233-MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology and expanded its
line of mobile processors with MMX technology. The Company has expanded
manufacturing capacity over the last few years and continues to expand capacity
based on the assumed continued success of this strategy.
The Company expects the gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 1997 to
be flat to slightly down from 61% in the second quarter. Intel's gross margin
expectation for 1997 is 60 percent plus or minus a few points. Based on the
first half results and current expectations, the gross margin percentage for
1997 is expected to be at the mid to high part of that range. In the short-term
Intel's gross margin percentage varies primarily with revenue levels and
product mix. The Company's goal continues to be to grow gross margin dollars,
and the Company still believes that over the long-term, the gross margin
percentage will be 50 percent plus or minus a few points. Intel's long-term
gross margin percentage will vary depending on product mix.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
Outlook (continued)
The gross margin percentage varies depending on the mix of types and speeds
of processors sold and the mix of microprocessors and related motherboards
within a product family. Motherboards generally have lower margins than
microprocessors, with the percentage of motherboards sold typically being
higher early in the product cycle and decreasing as the product matures. In
addition, the Company's newest product, the Pentium II, is packaged with
purchased components in a Single Edge Contact cartridge, and the inclusion of
purchased components tends to increase absolute dollar margins but to lower
the gross margin percentage. Various other factors, including unit volumes and
costs, yield issues associated with production at factories, and mix of
shipments of other semiconductors, will also continue to affect the amount of
cost of sales and the variability of gross margin percentages.
To implement its strategy, Intel continues to build capacity to produce
high-performance microprocessors and other products. The Company currently
expects capital expenditures for 1997 to be approximately $4.5 billion. This
spending plan is dependent upon expectations regarding manufacturing
efficiencies, delivery times of various machines and construction schedules
for new facilities. Depreciation for 1997 is now expected to be approximately
$2.2 billion, down from previous guidance of approximately $2.5 billion.
Spending on research and development and marketing, general and administrative
expenses in the third quarter of 1997 is expected to be approximately 4 to 6
percent higher than the $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 1997. Expense
projections for the third quarter of 1997 incorporate expected higher spending
for research and development and merchandising and are subject in part to
changes in revenue and profit dependent expenses and the impact of any
potential acquisition.
The Company expects interest and other income for the third quarter of 1997 to
be approximately $140 million, assuming no significant changes in cash balances
or interest rates and no unanticipated items.
All microprocessors have errata. (Errata are design defects or errors which
may cause a product to deviate from published specifications.) Intel's standard
practice since 1995 has been that when a new erratum is identified, the Company
works with computer makers and software vendors to understand the issue and
evaluate potential fixes, e.g., workarounds. After the erratum is understood,
the Company publishes the erratum so that consumers can make their purchasing
decisions based upon available information.
The Company's future results of operations and the other forward-looking
statements contained in this outlook, in particular the statements regarding
revenues, pricing, gross margin, capital spending, depreciation, research and
development expenses, marketing and general and administrative expenses and
interest and other income involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In
addition to the factors discussed above, among the other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially are the following: business
conditions and growth in the computing industry and in the general economy;
changes in customer order patterns, including timing of delivery and changes
in seasonal fluctuations in PC buying patterns; competitive factors, such
as rival chip architectures, competing software-compatible microprocessors,
acceptance of new products and response to price pressures; unanticipated
costs or other adverse effects associated with processors and other products
containing errata; risk of inventory obsolescence due to shifts in market
demand; variations in inventory valuation; excess or shortage of purchased
components; timing of software industry product introductions; continued
success in technological advances and their implementation, including the
manufacturing ramp; excess or shortage of manufacturing capacity; development,
implementation and initial production of new strategic products and processes;
acquisition strategy and the ability to successfully integrate acquired
businesses, enter new market segments and manage the growth of such businesses;
risks associated with foreign operations; and litigation involving intellectual
property and consumer issues.
Intel believes that it has the product offerings, facilities, personnel, and
competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future
revenues, costs, margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors,
as discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
A. Litigation
Digital Equipment Corporation vs. Intel,
U.S. District Court, District of Mass. (97-40080)
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) brought suit in Federal District Court in
Massachusetts on May 13, 1997, alleging that Intel has infringed ten patents
in making, using, selling and offering to sell microprocessor products,
including Pentium(R) and Pentium(R) Pro (including Pentium(R) II) microprocessor
families. DEC is seeking both an injunction and monetary damages, including
triple damages for Intel's alleged willful infringement of the patents. The
injunction, if granted, would prohibit Intel from using DEC's patented
technology in its microprocessor products. The Company believes that its
products do not infringe the DEC patents and intends to defend the lawsuit
vigorously. Although the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit cannot be determined
at this time, management, including internal counsel, does not believe that the
outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or overall trends in results of operations.
Cyrix Corporation v. Intel
U.S. District Court, E.D. Texas (4-97cv164)
Cyrix Corporation brought suit in Federal District Court in Texas on May 13,
1997, alleging that Intel has infringed two patents relating to Pentium,
Pentium Pro and Pentium II microprocessors. The suit seeks preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief along with unspecified damages. The Company
believes that its products do not infringe the Cyrix patents and intends to
defend the lawsuit vigorously. Although the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit
cannot be determined at this time, management, including internal counsel,
does not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in
results of operations.
Michael W. Scriber v. Intel Corporation
U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon (CV-1262-AS)
Michael W. Scriber, a former employee of the Company, filed an action on
September 9, 1996, alleging that Intel's products infringe a patent issued
to the plaintiff and that Intel wrongfully terminated his employment with
Intel. The suit seeks both monetary damages and injunctive relief. Expert
witness discovery closed on July 1, 1997. The plaintiff's expert witness
has opined that the plaintiff is entitled to $1.2 billion in damages for
Intel's alleged patent infringement. Intel's expert witnesses have opined
that, should the plaintiff prevail in the case, he would be entitled to nominal
damages only. The Company believes that its products do not infringe the
plaintiff's patent and intends to continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
Although the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit cannot be determined at this
time, management, including internal counsel, does not believe that the outcome
of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or overall trends in results of operations.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
(a) Modification of rights of security holders.
In May 1997, the stockholders approved an increase in the Company's authorized
shares of Common Stock to 4.5 billion. On July 13, 1997, the Company effected a
two-for-one stock split in the form of a special stock distribution to
stockholders of record as of June 10, 1997. As a result of this stock split,
each holder of the 1998 Step-Up Warrants to Purchase Common Stock received one
additional warrant for each warrant held. The Warrant Agreement was amended to
reflect an exercise price of one half of the former amount and an aggregate
number of shares issuable under the warrants of twice the former aggregate
number. Reference is made to Exhibit 4.2 of this document, "Fourth Amendment
to Warrant Agreement dated as of May 21, 1997."
(c) Unregistered sales of equity securities.
Reference is made to the information on sales of put warrants appearing in
Note 8 under the heading "Intel Corporation, Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 hereof. All such transactions are
exempt from registration under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Each transaction was privately negotiated and each offeree and purchaser was
an accredited investor/qualified institutional buyer. No public offering or
public solicitation was used by the registrant in the placement of these
securities.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
At Intel Corporation's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 21, 1997,
