THOMAS DUNLAP, JR. By: F. THOMAS DUNLAP, JR., Secretary Santa Clara, California April 6, 1999 DOORS WILL OPEN AT 9:30 a.m. First mailed to stockholders and made available on the Internet (www.intc.com) on or about April 6, 1999 [INTEL LOGO] INTEL CORPORATION 2200 Mission College Boulevard Santa Clara, California 95052-8119 PROXY STATEMENT The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Intel Corporation ("Intel" or the "Company") for use in voting at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California, on Wednesday, May 19, 1999, at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the attached notice. Voting and Revocability of Proxies When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares they represent will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for directors set forth herein and FOR ratification of the appointment of auditors. In addition, if other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters. A stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by voting in person at the Annual Meeting, by giving written notice to the Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting or by giving a later dated proxy. If you are a participant in the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan, the proxy represents the number of shares in your plan account as well as other shares registered in your name. For those shares in your plan account, the proxy will serve as a voting instruction for the trustee of the plan. If voting instructions are not received by the trustee for shares in your plan account, the trustee will not be able to vote those shares on your behalf. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote on all matters. The 11 candidates for election as directors at the Annual Meeting who receive the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. The ratification of the independent auditors for the Company for the current year will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company's Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Because abstentions with respect to any matter are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote for the purposes of determining whether that matter has been approved by the stockholders, abstentions have the same effect as negative votes for each proposal other than the election of directors. Broker non-votes are not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of that matter has been obtained, but they are counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Record Date and Share Ownership Only stockholders of record on the books of the Company at the close of business on March 22, 1999 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date is required for a quorum. On January 27, 1999, Intel's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a special stock distribution payable on April 11, 1999 to stockholders of record on March 23, 1999. Data regarding shares of Common Stock and per share amounts in this Proxy Statement has been adjusted to reflect the stock split. As of the close of business on February 26, 1999, there were 3,324,680,452 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as adjusted for the stock split. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (Proposal 1) Unless marked otherwise, proxies received will be voted FOR the election of each of the nominees named below. Each of the current directors has been nominated for election to the Board of Directors except Arthur Rock, a director for 30 years, who is not standing for re-election. If any such nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a nominee for the office of director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies may be voted either (i) for a substitute nominee who shall be designated by the proxy holders or by the present Board of Directors to fill such vacancy or (ii) for the balance of the nominees, leaving a vacancy. Alternatively, the size of the Board may be reduced accordingly. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of such nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director. Such persons have been nominated to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the 1999 Annual Meeting or until their successors, if any, are elected or appointed.

In addition, the Audit & Finance Committee oversees the Company's internal compliance programs and considers various capital and investment matters. The Audit & Finance Committee held three meetings during 1998. The Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the size and composition of the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES AND POLICIES The Board of Directors has adopted Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues ("Corporate Governance Guidelines") and in 1997 established a Corporate Governance Committee to oversee the Corporate Governance Guidelines and to report and make recommendations to the Board concerning corporate governance matters. Among other matters, the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines include the following: 1. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors are independent directors, as defined in the applicable rules for Nasdaq-traded issuers. Independent directors do not receive consulting, legal or other fees from the Company other than Board compensation. 2. Directors stand for re-election every year. Directors may not stand for re-election after age 72. 3. Members of Board committees are appointed by the Board. 4. The Audit & Finance, Nominating, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees consist entirely of independent directors. 5. The Board has initiated a process whereby the Board and its members are subject to periodic evaluation and assessment. 6. The Board annually reviews the Company's strategic long- range plan, business unit initiatives, capital projects and budget matters. 7. The Board has established the position of Lead Independent Director. Independent directors meet on a regular basis apart from other Board members and management representatives, and the Lead Independent Director is responsible for setting the agenda and running these meetings. 8. Succession planning and management development are reported periodically by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board. 9. The Board evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior management personnel at least annually. 10. Incentive compensation plans link pay directly and objectively to measured financial goals set in advance by the Compensation Committee. See "Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation" for additional information. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are published on the Internet at the Company's Investor Relations Web site (www.intc.com). DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION Directors who are Company employees receive no additional or special remuneration for serving as directors. In March 1998, non- employee director compensation was increased from $20,000 per year to $24,000 per year, payable in quarterly installments. Thus, non-employee directors serving for the entire year were paid $23,000 in 1998. In addition, non-employee directors receive a fee plus out-of-pocket expenses for each regular Board of Directors meeting attended. From January through March 1998, this fee was $2,000 per regular meeting attended. Effective April 1998, this fee was increased to $4,000 for each regular meeting attended. Non-employee directors also receive a fee of $500 for each special telephonic Board of Directors meeting attended. Mr. Rock received an additional $6,000 per year as Chairman of the Executive Committee. Non-employee directors are also granted stock options by the Company. In accordance with the Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan, option grants to non-employee directors may not exceed 20,000 shares per director per year, and the exercise price of the options must be equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. During 1998, each non-employee director (except Mr. Pottruck) was granted an option to purchase a total of 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $38.97 per share. Mr. Pottruck was granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $67.16 per share shortly after he joined the Board of Directors in December 1998. Non-employee director options are exercisable in full one year from the date of grant. In March 1998, the Board terminated its retirement program for non-employee directors. The retirement program provided a retirement benefit to any non-employee director who had at least 10 years of service or who retired after the age of 65 with at least five years of service. Previously retired non-employee directors were unaffected by the termination, and all non- employee directors serving at the time of termination were vested with the number of years served (regardless of whether they had met the previous vesting requirements). No further years of service will accrue for purposes of retirement benefits. Directors vested under the program receive an annual benefit equal to the annual retainer fee in effect at the time of payment, to be paid beginning at commencement of retirement and continuing for the lesser of the number of years served as a non- employee director or the life of the director. In 1998, Messrs. Hodgson, Kaplan and Palevsky each was paid $23,000 under the program. Mr. Rock, upon his retirement as a director in May, will also receive payments under this program. In 1998, the Company adopted a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors. Under this plan, non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer, meeting fees and fees for acting as a committee chairman, and receive an investment return on the deferred funds as if the funds were invested in the Company's Common Stock. Non-employee directors participating in the plan may make irrevocable elections to receive the deferred funds in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over 5 years or 10 years, and to begin receiving distributions at retirement or at the earlier of retirement and a date specified at the time of the election, which cannot be less than 24 months from the election date. Deferred non-employee director compensation is an unsecured obligation of the Company. As of December 31, 1998, only Mr. Yoffie had elected to participate in the deferred compensation plan. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Company's executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In this regard, the role of the Compensation Committee, which is comprised entirely of outside, non-employee directors, is to review and approve salaries and other compensation of the executive officers of the Company and to administer the Executive Officer Bonus Plan (the "EOBP"). The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves various other Company compensation policies and matters, and administers the Company's stock option plans, including the review and approval of stock option grants to the executive officers of the Company. General Compensation Philosophy The Company's general compensation philosophy is that total cash compensation should vary with the performance of the Company in attaining financial and non-financial objectives and that any long-term incentive compensation should be closely aligned with the interests of the stockholders. The Company has several performance-based compensation programs in which the majority of Intel's employees are eligible to participate. Most Company employees not compensated on a commission basis participate in the Employee Bonus Program (the "EBP"). For the executive officers, participation in the EOBP is in lieu of participation in the EBP. Total cash compensation for the majority of Intel's employees, including its executive officers, consists of the following components: - - Base salary; - - A cash bonus (either through the EBP or the EOBP) that is related to growth in earnings per share of the Company and is based on an individual bonus target for the performance period (see "Executive Officer Bonus Plan" for a discussion of the bonus plan covering executive officers); and - - A cash bonus that is proportional to corporate profitability (see "Employee Cash Bonus Plan"). Long-term incentive compensation is realized through the granting of stock options to most employees, including eligible executive officers. The Company has no other long-term incentive plans. In addition to encouraging stock ownership by granting stock options, the Company further encourages its employees to own Company stock through a tax-qualified employee stock purchase plan, which is generally available to all employees. This plan allows participants to buy Company stock at a discount to the market price with up to 10% of their salary and bonuses (subject to certain limits), therefore allowing employees to profit when the value of the Company's stock increases over time. Setting Executive Compensation In setting the base salary and individual bonus target amount (together referred to as "BSBT") for executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviews information relating to executive compensation of U.S.-based companies that are considered generally comparable to the Company (a substantial majority of which companies are included in the Dow Jones Technology Index). While there is no specific formula that is used to set pay in relation to this market data, executive officer BSBT is generally set to be slightly below the average salaries for comparable jobs in the marketplace. However, when the Company's business groups meet or exceed certain predetermined financial and non-financial goals, amounts paid under the Company's performance-based compensation programs may lead to total cash compensation levels that are higher than the average salaries for comparable jobs. The Compensation Committee also reviews the compensation levels of the executive officers for internal consistency relative to the 100 most highly paid employees of the Company. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by the Company in any year with respect to each of the Company's five most highly paid executive officers. Certain performance-based compensation that has been approved by stockholders is not subject to the deduction limit. The Company's 1984 and 1988 stock option plans and the EOBP are qualified so that awards under such plans constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible. Base Salary The Compensation Committee reviews the history of and proposals for the compensation package of each of the Company's executive officers, including BSBT and its base salary and performance-based compensation components. The base salary is then set as a percentage of BSBT, taking into account the level and amount of responsibility of the individual. In general, executive officers having the highest level and amount of responsibility have the lowest percentage of their BSBT as base salary and the highest percentage of their BSBT as their individual bonus target amount. For example, in 1998 the base salary for Dr. Barrett, the President and Chief Executive Officer, was 50% of his total BSBT. The other executives' base salaries (other than Dr. Moore's) were determined in the same manner, but the base salary segment as a percentage of their BSBT for 1998 ranged from 50% to 65% depending on their job responsibilities. Once fixed, base salary does not depend on the Company's performance. In 1998, Dr. Moore, the Company's Chairman Emeritus, elected to receive, in lieu of BSBT, compensation equal in amount to that paid to outside directors (as described under "Directors' Compensation"). As a result of this process, and in accordance with the Company's compensation philosophy that total cash compensation should vary with Company performance, the Compensation Committee establishes base salaries of the Company's executive officers at levels which the Compensation Committee believes are below the average base salaries of executives of companies considered by the Compensation Committee to be comparable to the Company. Thus, as set forth below, a large part of each executive officer's potential total cash compensation is dependent on the performance of the Company as measured through its performance-based compensation programs. Performance-Based Compensation Executive Officer Bonus Plan The EOBP is a cash-based incentive bonus program. The purpose of the EOBP is to motivate and reward eligible employees for good performance by making a portion of their cash compensation dependent on growth in diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of the Company. The EOBP provides for the determination of a maximum bonus amount which is established annually for each executive officer pursuant to a predetermined objective formula, subject to a maximum annual limit of $5,000,000. Under this predetermined formula, the maximum bonus payment for any performance period is the product of (i) the executive officer's individual bonus target for the performance period and (ii) the numerical value of the Company's EPS for the performance period multiplied by a pre- established factor (the "multiplier") set by the Compensation Committee. For purposes of this formula, "EPS" means the greater of (x) the Company's operating income or (y) the Company's net income (adjusted to reflect any unusual income statement items), in each case per weighted average common share outstanding, assuming dilution during such performance period. Operating income does not include interest and other income earned by the Company, and does not include a deduction for interest expense and income taxes; as a result, the figure for operating income per share generally exceeds the figure for net income per share. The EPS data to be utilized in the calculations (and which is also used in the Company's published financial statements) is reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. In January 1998, the Compensation Committee established individual bonus targets ranging from $95,000 to $490,000 for each of the then executive officers except Dr. Moore (representing a range of 37% to 50% of BSBT), and set the multiplier as 2.14 for the 1998 performance period (as adjusted to reflect the April 1999 two-for-one stock split described under "Record Date and Share Ownership"). During this period, operating income per share of $2.38 exceeded net income per share of $1.77 and led to an EPS value, as defined, of $2.38 to be used in the formula for determining the maximum bonus amount. Under the EOBP, the Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce (but not to increase) an individual's actual bonus payment from the amount that would otherwise be payable under the above formula. In the past, the Compensation Committee has exercised its discretion to pay bonuses at amounts which were below the maximum amounts permitted under the EOBP. The EOBP does not specify the factors that the Compensation Committee evaluates in the exercise of its discretion to reduce bonus payments under the EOBP and does not require the Compensation Committee to make such a reduction. The EOBP generally requires that an executive officer be on the Company's payroll as of the last day of the performance period for which the bonus is payable in order to be eligible to receive payment of the bonus for such performance period. For the 1998 performance period, the Compensation Committee chose to exercise its discretion to reduce the bonus amounts paid under the EOBP to the amounts which would have been paid to the executive officers under the EBP. Bonus payments under the EBP are generally lower than the maximum bonuses payable under the EOBP, in part because the EBP formula utilizes the reported net income per share amount (adjusted to reflect any unusual income statement items), whereas the EPS utilized in the EOBP formula is based on the greater of operating income or net income as described above. The EBP formula also takes into account whether certain business group objectives have been met over the performance period. For example, for 1998, business group objectives considered in determining the bonus payments under the EBP included financial and non-financial goals such as sales, customer satisfaction, productivity measures, cost reduction and employee training. The particular goals are set each year and vary from year to year. In determining bonuses payable to the executive officers with responsibility for overall performance of the Company, such as the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee took into account the corporate average score on achievement of business objectives. For those executive officers with specific responsibility for a particular business group, achievement scores were based on either the individual business group's score or a combination of the group's score and the corporate average score. Employee Cash Bonus Plan The Employee Cash Bonus Plan (the "ECBP") is a profit- sharing program that offers cash rewards to employees, including executive officers, based on corporate profitability. Twice a year, eligible employees receive .55 day's pay (calculated based on eligible earnings for the six-month period, including one-half of EBP or EOBP bonus targets as applicable) for every two percentage points of corporate pretax profit as a percentage of revenues, or a total payment based on 4% of net income, whichever is greater. The Employee Cash Bonus is paid in the first and third quarters of each year based on corporate performance for the preceding two quarters. During 1998, payments based on 4% of net income resulted in an annual cash bonus payment under the ECBP of 22.8 days' pay per employee (including one day's pay during 1998 as a result of meeting corporate goals under a vendor of choice, customer satisfaction program). Profit-Sharing Retirement Plans The Company has both tax-qualified and non-qualified capital accumulation/retirement plans ("Profit-Sharing Retirement Plans"). The tax-qualified plans are available to eligible employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and there are similar plans for certain of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries. The non- qualified plan is a supplemental plan that provides to eligible employees in the U.S. those contributions that could not be contributed to their accounts under the qualified plan because of limitations under the Code. The Profit-Sharing Retirement Plans are defined contribution plans that are designed to accumulate retirement funds for employees, including the executive officers, and to allow the Company to make contributions or allocations to those funds. The Company contribution is totally discretionary and is not based on any formula. The contributions approved by the Board may vary with the financial performance of the Company, particularly the revenues and income of the Company. However, there are no corporate performance factors or other specific factors that are required to be considered by the Board in determining the contribution. Contributions made by the Company under the plans vest based on years of service. Vesting begins after three years of service in 20% annual increments until the employee is 100% vested after seven years. For 1998, the discretionary Company contributions (including allocation of forfeitures) to the Profit-Sharing Retirement Plans for all eligible employees, including executive officers, equaled 12.5% of eligible salary (which includes actual EBP or EOBP bonus payments as applicable). Contributions to the qualified plan are limited under the Code. Where Code limits applied, the excess, up to 12.5% of eligible salary, was allocated to the non-qualified plan for eligible employees, including executive officers. Stock Options Stock options are granted by the Company to aid in the retention of employees and to align the interests of employees with those of the stockholders. Stock options have value for an employee only if the price of the Company's stock increases above the fair market value on the grant date and the employee remains in the Company's employ for the period required for the stock option to be exercisable, thus providing an incentive to remain in the Company's employ. In addition, stock options directly link a portion of an employee's compensation to the interests of stockholders by providing an incentive to maximize stockholder value. The Company has a 1984 Stock Option Plan, as amended, for use with officers and directors. The 1984 Stock Option Plan is generally used for making annual grants to officers and directors as a part of the Company's executive performance review process. Annual stock option grants for executives are a key element of market-competitive total compensation. In 1998, stock options for the executive officers were granted upon recommendation of management and approval of the Compensation Committee. Individual grant amounts were based on internal factors such as the size of prior grants, relative job scope and contributions made during the past year, as well as a review of publicly available data on senior management compensation at other companies. In general, initial grants are exercisable in increments over a five-year period, and subsequent grants are first exercisable five years after the date of grant (e.g., options granted in 1998 become exercisable in 2003). The Company had a 1988 Executive Long Term Stock Option Plan ("ELTSOP"), under which the Company made additional stock option grants to key officers and other senior- level employees in recognition of their future potential in leading the corporation. The vesting schedule for these grants is generally longer than that of regular stock options, typically vesting in increments beginning four years after the grant date, with the final increment vesting eight years after the grant date. No further grants will be made under the ELTSOP, which expired in September 1998, but the Company may continue to grant options with similar terms to key officers and other senior-level employees under the 1984 Stock Option Plan. The Company also has a 1997 Stock Option Plan for use with all employees other than officers and directors. Stock options under all plans are granted at a price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Company Performance and CEO Compensation The Company's compensation program is designed to support the achievement of corporate and business objectives. This pay- for-performance program is most clearly exemplified in the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Barrett. Dr. Barrett does not have an employment contract. Dr. Barrett's BSBT is determined in the same manner as described above for all executive officers. In setting compensation levels for the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considers data reflecting comparative compensation information from other companies for the prior year. In line with the Compensation Committee's general practice and discretionary authority, however, Dr. Barrett's 1998 salary and individual bonus target were not tied directly to the comparative compensation data. Upon assuming the role of CEO in May of 1998, Dr. Barrett's base salary and bonus target were set at levels which, by comparison to selected companies reflected in the market data (a majority of which companies are included in the Dow Jones Technology Index), were 49% of the average for base salary, 45% of the average for target incentive-based compensation and 47% of the average for BSBT. Under the EOBP, Dr. Barrett's actual bonus for 1998 (paid in 1999) was $1,698,600. This bonus, like the bonuses paid to each of the other executive officers under the EOBP, was less than the maximum bonus provided under the EOBP formula due to the Compensation Committee's exercise of its discretion to reduce the maximum bonus to the bonus derived by utilizing the EBP formula, as described above. Although Dr. Barrett's BSBT was 47% of the average total target compensation disclosed by the selected peer group, due to the high variability in the Company's total compensation program and to the Company's strong 1998 financial performance, his actual cash compensation (i.e., base salary and bonus) for 1998 was 93% of the average total actual cash compensation disclosed by the selected peer group. In 1998, the Compensation Committee awarded Dr. Barrett stock options to purchase 144,000 shares of stock. These options first become exercisable in 2003. Additionally, Dr. Barrett received a special stock option grant to purchase 600,000 shares of stock; these options first become exercisable between 2002 and 2005. In 1998, the Company also contributed $20,000 to Dr. Barrett's account under the tax-qualified retirement plan and allocated $308,700 to Dr. Barrett's account under the non- qualified retirement plan, based on the Company's 1998 results. In general, Dr. Barrett's retirement plan accounts are available to Dr. Barrett only upon termination, retirement, death or disability. The Compensation Committee is pleased to submit this report to the stockholders with regard to the above matters. Compensation Committee: David B. Yoffie, Chairman Arthur Rock John P. Browne Jane E. Shaw COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Messrs. Browne and Rock and Drs. Yoffie and Shaw served on the Compensation Committee in 1998. Mr. Rock was formerly a non- employee officer of the Company as Chairman of the Board from 1970 to 1975.

PENSION PLAN TABLE Years of Service at Retirement (2)(3) --------------------------------------- Eligible 15 20 25 30 35 Compensation (1) - ------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ $160,000 and above $30,558 $40,744 $50,930 $61,116 $71,302 - ------------- (1) The plan provides for minimum pension benefits that are determined by a participant's years of service credited under the plan, final average compensation, taking into account the participant's Social Security wage base, and the value of the participant's Company contributions, plus earnings, in the Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan. If the annuity value of the profit-sharing account balance exceeds the pension guarantee, the participant will receive benefits from the Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan only. Compensation includes regular earnings and most bonuses. However, maximum eligible compensation for 1998 is $160,000, in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17). This amount is subject to cost-of-living adjustments in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 415(d). (2) For each of the employees named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth above, the years of credited service as of year-end 1998 under the Company's pension plan are currently as follows: Dr. Barrett (24); Dr. Grove (30); Dr. Parker (29); Mr. Vadasz (30); and Mr. Otellini (24). (3) The table illustrates the estimated annual benefits payable in the form of a straight-life annuity upon retirement at age 65 under the pension plan to persons in the specified compensation and years of service classifications for Social Security benefits. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 contains certain limitations on the amount of benefits that may be paid under pension plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. The amounts shown are subject to reduction to the extent they exceed such limitations but are not subject to reduction for Social Security benefits.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS (Proposal 2) Ernst & Young LLP have been the Company's independent auditors since its incorporation in 1968 and, at the recommendation of the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board, have been selected by the Board of Directors as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 25, 1999. In the event ratification of this selection of auditors is not approved by a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting thereon, management will review its future selection of auditors. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from the stockholders. Audit services of Ernst & Young LLP for 1998 included the examination of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and services related to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as certain services relating to the consolidated quarterly reports and annual and other periodic reports at international locations. The Audit & Finance Committee of the Company meets twice a year with Ernst & Young LLP and, on an annual basis, reviews both audit and non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young LLP for the preceding year as well as the fees charged by Ernst & Young LLP for such services. Non-audit services are approved by the Audit & Finance Committee, which considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditors' independence. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for the Company for the current year. Unless a contrary choice is specified, proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted FOR ratification of the appointment. OTHER MATTERS Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, the Company's securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and The Nasdaq Stock Market. Such directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms received by it, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that during fiscal 1998, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its directors, officers and 10% stockholders were complied with, except that Paul Otellini and Arvind Sodhani, officers of the Company, each filed one late report of a transaction. 2000 Stockholder Proposals or Nominations. From time to time, stockholders of the Company submit proposals that they believe should be voted upon at the Annual Meeting or nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, some stockholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in the Company's 2000 Proxy Statement. Any such stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company no later than December 8, 1999. Stockholders interested in submitting such a proposal are advised to contact knowledgeable counsel with regard to the detailed requirements of applicable securities laws. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the Company's Proxy Statement. Alternatively, under the Company's Bylaws, a proposal or nomination that the stockholder does not seek to include in the Company's Proxy Statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 may be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company for the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders not less than 45 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date on which the Company first mailed its proxy materials for the 1999 Annual Meeting, unless the date of the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 1999 Annual Meeting. For the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this means that any such proposal or nomination must be submitted no earlier than December 8, 1999 and no later than February 21, 2000. If the date of the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 1999 Annual Meeting, the stockholder must submit any such proposal or nomination no later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. The stockholder's submission must include certain specified information concerning the proposal or nominee, as the case may be, and information as to the stockholder's ownership of Common Stock of the Company. Proposals or nominations not meeting these requirements will not be entertained at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If the stockholder does not also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies it solicits to vote in accordance with its best judgment on any such proposal or nomination submitted by a stockholder. Stockholders should contact the Secretary of the Company in writing at M/S SC4-203, 2200 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, California 95052-8119 to make any submission or to obtain additional information as to the proper form and content of submissions. Financial Statements. The Company's financial statements for the year ended December 26, 1998 are included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders ("Annual Report"). Copies of the Annual Report are being sent to the Company's stockholders concurrently with the mailing of this Proxy Statement. Stockholders directly registered by name on the books of Harris Trust and Savings Bank or holding shares in nominee name through certain brokers and banks have in earlier mailings been offered the opportunity to obtain this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report by accessing it in electronic form on the Company's Internet Web site instead of receiving paper copies. If you have not received or had access to the Annual Report, please notify the Secretary of the Company, M/S SC4-203, 2200 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, California 95052-8119, and a copy will be sent to you. The Company's Annual Report and this Proxy Statement are available on Intel's Investor Relations Web site (www.intc.com). Other Matters. At the date hereof, there are no other matters that the Board of Directors intends to present, or has reason to believe others will present, at the Annual Meeting. If other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters. Proxy Solicitation. The expense of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. The Company has retained D. F. King & Co., Inc. to solicit proxies for a fee of $11,000 plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of the Company's directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, personally or by written communication, telephone or other electronic means. The Company is required to request brokers and nominees who hold stock in their name to furnish the Company's proxy material to beneficial owners of the stock and will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing.
