The final exchange ratios for the Employee Stock Option Exchange Program are
now reflected in the My Option Exchange tool. When the exchange window opened,
we had noted that the ratios were preliminary and might need to be reset.
We ran the same Black-Scholes model with the same verification steps that we
performed at the start of the Exchange window, to decide whether a change to
the ratios was necessary. Several of the variables used in the Black-Scholes
model, particularly price and volatility have changed since the Exchange window
opened. These two variables moved in opposite directions, roughly offsetting
each other in the model. In the end, no reset of ratios was needed to meet the
objectives of the Offer to Exchange. Therefore, the final ratios are the same
as the preliminary ratios provided.
You have 10 business days to consider the final ratios before the exchange
window closes on Oct. 30, 2009 (8 p.m. Pacific Time). The exchange ratios tell
you how many current options youll need to exchange to get one new option.
Go to the My Option Exchange tool
Dont wait until the last day to register your decision in the tool. We
encourage employees to register a decision now and monitor whether to change or
withdraw their election. You can make changes until the window closes. Use the
modeling feature within the My Option Exchange tool to help you determine how
variations in the grant price may affect your decision to exchange or keep your
eligible options. Ask yourself, How much of a difference between todays stock
price and the Oct. 30 grant price is needed to cause me to make a different
decision? You may find that in order to change your decision the grant price
on Oct. 30 would need to be significantly different from todays stock price.
Even if you feel a small change in the grant price may cause you to make a
different decision, its still a good idea to register your decision now. Then
you can monitor the stock price on Oct. 30 to determine if you need to make a
change or withdraw your electionsyou have until
8 p.m. Pacific Time.

More Information
What will be the grant price and date of the new options?
Your new options will have a grant price equal to the average of the high and
low prices of Intels common stock on the date the new options are granted. The
new options will be granted on the day the exchange window closes (currently
planned for Oct. 30, 2009).
When will I be informed about the grant price?
The grant price for the new options will be set after the stock market closes
at 1 p.m. Pacific time on Oct. 30. Intel must then complete a validation
process, so we will not communicate the new grant price immediately. Your new
options and the actual grant price will be posted to your UBS account within
10 business days. You will receive an email notice at that time asking you to
either acknowledge or accept your new options.
