INTRODUCTION
This prospectus supplement relates to shares of Intel common stock in which eligible Intel
employees and their beneficiaries may invest through the Intel Stock Fund under the Plan and to
participants interests in the Plan. Intel has registered the shares of common stock on a
registration statement filed with the SEC (File No. 333-132865) and interests in the Plan are
registered on a registration statement and a post-effective amendment thereto, File No. 033-63489,
as amended, filed with the SEC. (See Securities Law Matters.)
Effective as of January 1, 1984, Intel established the Plan as part of the Profit Sharing
Retirement Plan. As of January 1, 1996, Intel separated the Plan from the Profit Sharing Retirement
Plan, creating two separate plans: the Plan and the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the Profit
Sharing Plan).
The Plan is a defined contribution, individual account plan intended to qualify under Section
401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Tax Code) and an Employer
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Tax Code. The
Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). ERISA
establishes reporting obligations, operating standards, fiduciary responsibility and other rights
and obligations for plan participants and plan sponsors.
The Plan is designed to be a long-term savings vehicle, allowing participants to put aside a
portion of their income. Because participants contributions are pretax and earnings are
tax-deferred, earnings can grow more quickly than earnings in a savings plan or an investment that
is taxed each year. Contributions to the Plan are voluntary. Participants choose how to invest
their contributions among the investment options available under the Plan. Benefits are not insured
by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the U.S. government agency that insures defined
benefit pension plans, nor does Intel make any guarantee with respect to any of the investment
options.
This prospectus supplement is provided to each employee eligible to participate in the Plan. This
prospectus supplement is only a summary of the more significant Plan provisions. To make this
summary as clear and understandable as possible, some Plan rules are abbreviated and other Plan
rules are not mentioned at all. For a detailed description of the Plans features, see the Plans
Summary Plan Description. The Plan documents and the Trust Agreement for the Plan, as well as
applicable laws and regulations (and not this prospectus supplement), will govern the rights and
benefits under the Plan. If this prospectus supplement and the official Plan text conflict in any
way, the official Plan text will control. When making important decisions based upon the provisions
of the Plan, you should read the official Plan text and the Trust Agreement. You may obtain these
items by calling the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377) or by writing to Intel
Corporation, Attention: SERP Administration, 1900 Prairie City Rd., FM3-224, Folsom, CA 95630.
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The SERP Administrative Committee, which currently consists of Intel employees, is the plan
administrator responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan, and for
carrying out and interpreting the Plans provisions. The Investment Policy Committee, which
currently consists of Intel employees and members of Intels Board of Directors, has asset
management responsibility for the Plan. Each of these committees is a named fiduciary as that term
is used in ERISA. Intels Board of Directors appoints the members of each of these committees. The
SERP Administrative Committee has delegated day to day operating responsibility to Intels SERP
Administration Department and has contracted with Fidelity Investments to provide Plan
recordkeeping services. To obtain additional information about the Plan and its administrators, you
may contact the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377). You may review your account
and make certain changes via Fidelitys NetBenefits web site at www.401k.com. You may contact
Intels SERP Administration Department through Ask ES at (800) 238-0486 or by writing to Intel
Corporation, Attention: SERP Administration, 1900 Prairie City Rd., FM3-224, Folsom, CA 95630.
Intel Corporation is the Plan sponsor as that term is used in ERISA and has the authority, among
other things, to amend or terminate the Plan as provided in the Plan documents.
S-1
TERMS OF THE PLAN
Eligibility and Participation
The Plan is available to eligible employees of Intel Corporation and its subsidiaries that have
been approved by Intel as participating subsidiaries. The following subsidiaries are participating
subsidiaries: Intel International, Intel Massachusetts, Intel Sales & Service, Intel Data
Services, Intel Online Services and Corollary Inc.
In general, you are eligible to participate in the Plan if you are:
|
|
Employed by Intel or a participating subsidiary as a U.S. employee (including U.S. employees on
expatriate assignments), and |
|
|
|
Not a member of a collective bargaining unit (unless participation in the Plan has been
negotiated under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement), and
|
|
|
|
Not a College Intern or Summer Intern status employee, and |
|
|
|
Not an International Service Employee (inpatriate), and |
|
|
|
Not otherwise excluded (persons not classified as employees are excluded, whether or not they
are or may be considered common law employees of Intel or a participating subsidiary). |
You may enroll in the Plan any time on or after the date that you are eligible to participate. If
you enroll, your payroll contributions to the Plan will commence as soon as is administratively
practicable, generally within one to two pay periods.
Example: You are eligible to participate on your date of hire, which is August 8, 2006. You can
enroll any time on or after August 8, 2006. Payroll deductions will generally begin within one to
two pay periods.
Automatic Enrollment for Newly Hired or Rehired Employees
Effective January 1, 2007, newly-hired or rehired employees who are eligible to participate in the
plan will be automatically enrolled unless the employee elects to opt out of the Plan. When you are
hired, you will receive an enrollment kit that includes details about the plan and enrollment
information. If you do not opt out of the Plan, or change either the amount you contribute or the
fund(s) in which your contributions will be invested, you will be enrolled in the Plan 45 days from
your hire date. The Company will set aside 3% of your before-tax pay and invest that amount on your
behalf in the applicable LifeStage fund based on your age. Generally, this contribution rate and
the investment fund elections will begin as soon as administratively practicable after you are
enrolled. Contributions are deducted each pay period, beginning as soon as administratively
practicable after your participation begins.
You can cancel this automatic enrollment at any time. To do so, see the description below regarding
Starting, Changing or Stopping Contributions.
Vesting
Vesting refers to the percentage of an account or benefit that you have earned, based on your
length of service with Intel that will not forfeit if you terminate employment. You are always 100%
vested in the value of your Plan accounts, including any rollover, after-tax or Free$tock balances.
If you were a member of the Plan before 1987, contributions invested solely in Intel stock are
referred to as Free$tock. See Plan Withdrawals During Employment for more information regarding
after-tax contributions and Free$tock.
S-2
Plan Contribution Limits
You may contribute on a pre-tax basis up to 50% (in whole percentages) of your eligible annual pay
to the Plan, not to exceed other limits imposed by the Plan or by the Tax Code described below.
This means that your contributions are deducted each pay period from your paycheck before federal income taxes and
most state and local income taxes are withheld. Your eligible annual pay includes regular base pay
plus certain bonuses, commissions, overtime, geographic salary differentials and shift premiums.
Note: Highly compensated employees may be limited to less than 50% if it is required for
the Plan to pass annual nondiscrimination testing as determined by mid-year testing projections.
Any changes to the highly compensated employee contribution limit are communicated as they occur.
Highly compensated employees are generally those whose pay is among the top 20% of Intel employees.
The amount of income necessary to be considered highly compensated may change from year to year
based on the demographics of Intels employees. For 2006, highly compensated employees were
generally those who earned more than $112,534 with Intel in 2005. To find out whether you are a
highly compensated employee for the purposes of your Plan contributions, call the SERP Service
Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377).
Your contributions are subject to the following limitations imposed by the Tax Code:
Annual 401(k) Dollar Limit: The maximum amount of pretax contributions made by you to all
401(k) savings plans in one calendar year cannot exceed the annual IRS limit ($15,000 for 2006,
which amount may be increased in 2007 for cost-of-living adjustments). In your first year of
employment with Intel, it is your responsibility to monitor your combined year-to-date 401(k)
contributions for all qualified retirement plans (including year-to-date contributions made to any
prior employer plan) to ensure that you do not exceed the annual IRS limit. Prior to your combined
annual 401(k) contributions reaching the annual IRS limit, you will need to access NetBenefits at
www.401k.com or call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377) to reduce your Plan
contribution percentage to zero for the remainder of the year.
If your combined contributions exceed the annual IRS limit, you will need to request a refund from
either your prior employers plan or the Plan. The deadline to request a refund from the Plan is
March 1 for refunds to be processed by the Plan administrator by April 15 for pretax contributions
made in the previous year. You may request your refund by calling the SERP Service Center at (888)
401-SERP (888-401-7377). If you are an employee of a company acquired by Intel, please confirm with
your Intel Human Resources Department Representative that Intel U.S. Payroll is monitoring this
limit for you.
Note: You should allow one to two pay periods for any changes to become effective. You will
then have to re-enroll during the last week of the year to restart your Plan contribution
percentage for the following year.
Annual 401(k) Percentage Limit: The Plan is required to compare the average percentage of
compensation that highly compensated employees defer to the Plan with the average percentage that
other employees deferred during the previous plan year. If the margin between the average deferral
percentage of highly compensated employees and the average deferral percentage of other employees
is greater than what the Tax Code permits, then the deferrals of highly compensated employees may
have to be limited and/or refunded.
Annual Aggregate Limit: The combined total of your Plan and Profit Sharing Plan
contributions for 2006 cannot exceed a limit of $44,000, or 100% of taxable compensation, whichever
is less (which amount may be increased in 2007 for cost-of-living adjustments). Catch-up
contributions are excluded from this combined limit.
Catch-Up Contributions: If you are (or will be) at least 50 years old by the end of a
particular plan year and you contributed the maximum deferral amount allowed under the Plan for
that year, you can make catch-up contributions to the Plan. Generally, a catch-up contribution is a
deferral contribution in excess of the
S-3
annual deferral limit, currently $15,000 for 2006. For 2006,
the maximum catch-up contribution is $5,000, which amount may be increased in 2007 for
cost-of-living adjustments.
Rollovers and Transfers from Other Plans
The Plan allows you to roll over or arrange a direct transfer of eligible rollover distributions
from other eligible retirement plans. Generally, eligible retirement plans include individual
retirement accounts under Tax Code Section 408; qualified retirement plans under Tax Code Section
401(a), tax-exempt entity plans under Tax Code Section 403(b) and governmental plans under Tax Code
Section 457. If you are a newly hired eligible employee, you may contribute an eligible rollover
distribution from an eligible retirement plan, provided the distribution meets the specific Tax
Code and Plan requirements. Once these balances have been rolled into the Plan, they must follow
the terms and conditions of the Plan. Eligible rollover distributions do not include required
minimum payments under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9), any distribution that is one of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments made for your life expectancy (or the joint life expectancy
of you and your beneficiary), hardship distributions or distributions of after-tax dollars. You may
obtain a Plan rollover form and instructions on NetBenefits at www.401k.com or by calling the SERP
Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377).
Starting, Changing or Stopping Contributions
You can start, change or stop your contributions to the Plan at any time by following these steps:
1. |
|
Call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377) or visit NetBenefits at
www.401k.com. |
|
2. |
|
Enter your Social Security number (or Customer ID) and personal identification number (PIN).
When accessing the SERP Service Center or NetBenefits for the first time, you will be prompted
by the system to set up a new PIN. Your PIN must be no less than six and no more than 12
digits in length. |
|
3. |
|
Follow the instructions for making your account selections |
You will receive a confirmation by mail within five to seven business days. Changes should take
effect within one to two pay periods.
Note that changes to investment elections in certain funds may be subject to the Plans excessive
trading policy, which limits the number of participant-initiated exchanges in and out of a fund
option within a 30 day period. For a full description of the excessive trading policy, visit
NetBenefits at www.401k.com.
YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS OVERVIEW
You have a choice of investment options in which you may invest your pretax contributions. The Plan
provides you with an opportunity to invest in the Intel Stock Fund and a broad range of other
investment options selected by Intel. These investment options may change from time to time, with
or without notice to the Plan participants.
You may split your investment in minimum increments of 1% into or among any of the investment
options offered under the Plan. You may also reallocate your current investments into or among
different investment options offered under the Plan in minimum increments of 1% or a specific
dollar amount (except the Intel Stock Fund). Beginning November 1, 2006, your participation in the
Intel Stock Fund will be limited to 20% of your future deferrals and your ability to increase your
participation in the Intel Stock Fund will be limited to 20% of your existing account balance under
the Plan (determined on the date you make the election). Currently, there are no other limits on
the percentage of your account that may be invested in any one investment option.
S-4
Except for the description of the Intel Stock Fund, the LifeStage Funds and the Core Asset Class
Funds, the sources of the fund descriptions in Attachment A to this prospectus supplement are
excerpts from the prospectuses and fund brochures which were provided by the funds investment
manager(s).
Attachment A to this prospectus supplement provides a summary of the investment options under the
Plan. Attachment B describes the Intel Stock Fund, one of the investment options available under
the Plan. This summary is intended to give you only a broad overview of each available investment
option, and you should not base your investment decisions solely on these investment option
descriptions. You should consult a prospectus or brochure about the investment options in which you
are interested. Those documents provide information about the investment options investment
strategy and operation (including any trade limitations and fees). For more information, visit
NetBenefits at www.401k.com or call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377).
When you elect to contribute to the Plan, you should select one or more investment options for your
contributions. Once an investment election is made, you may change investment elections for future
contributions, for existing balances already held in your account, or for both future contributions
and existing balances, on a daily basis (subject to the Plans excessive trading policy and any
trading fees) by visiting NetBenefits at www.401k.com or by calling the SERP Service Center at
(888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377). Intel adopted an excessive trading policy consistent with rules that
FidelityIntels provider of administrative serviceshas implemented. The policy applies to the
frequency of trading in and out of the investment choices offered in Intels 401(k) fund lineup. To
view Intels excessive trading policy, visit www.401k.com > News > Intel Excessive Trading
Policy.
Transaction requests received before 4 p.m. (Eastern) typically will receive the following business
days closing price unless the transaction involves a daily share accounted fund. A transaction
request that is funded by transferring amounts out of a daily share accounted fund will be priced
on the day after the funds are received from settlement of the daily share accounted fund
transaction. Currently, the Intel Stock Fund is the only daily share accounted fund offered as an
investment option under the Plan.
A daily share accounted fund is an investment option in which participants accounts reflect
ownership of the underlying stock rather than ownership of units in the fund itself. If transaction
requests for daily share accounted funds are requested prior to 4 p.m. (Eastern) on a business day,
the transactions typically will receive the weighted average purchase price or sale price on the
following business day. Otherwise, they will receive the weighted average purchase price or sale
price on the second business day after the transaction is received. The weighted average purchase
price for any given day is calculated by dividing the aggregate price of all purchases for the
daily share accounted fund (less any transaction fees) on that day by the number of shares
purchased. Similarly, the weighted average sale price on any given day is calculated by dividing
the aggregate price of all sales on behalf of the daily share accounted fund (less any transaction
fees) on that day by the number of shares sold. There is currently a three-day settlement period
after the purchase or sale date for these funds.
If you have Free$tock, you have the option of changing your investment from Intel stock to any
other Plan investment option. For more information, call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP
(888-401-7377) or visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com.
Any voting rights, tender rights, or other similar rights which are incidental to holding any
interest in the Intel Stock Fund will be passed through to you.
The Plan provides you with an opportunity to invest in the Intel Stock Fund and a broad range of
investment options selected by Intel. Intel reserves the right without notice, and on a temporary
or permanent basis: to add, change or remove one or more of your investment options under the Plan;
to change the dates on which elections can be made or on which elections become effective; to
suspend the ability to invest in or move funds into or out of any one or all investment options;
and to limit the number of changes you may make in your contribution selections during any calendar
year.
S-5
The investment options available under the Plan, including the Intel Stock Fund, each have
different investment objectives and consequently, different elements of risk and potentials for
growth. Before deciding how to invest your account, you need to assess your own tolerance for risk
in view of your long-term plans and the length of time you expect to continue working. In addition,
in determining whether to allocate assets to the Intel Stock Fund and how much to allocate, you should carefully
consider the level of your participation in other Intel stock benefit plans and the fact that your
overall compensation is already substantially tied to Intels performance. Certain of the other
investment options that invest in stocks may also invest in Intels common stock, although any such
holdings are typically limited to no more than 5% of the funds assets.
Intel and the Plans service providers do not monitor your investment choices and are not
responsible if those choices result in losses. The Plan is intended to operate as an ERISA Section
404(c) plan. The Plan offers participants and beneficiaries the opportunity to exercise control
over the assets contributed and accumulated on their behalf by allowing them to choose the manner
in which these assets will be invested from a broad range of investment alternatives. This means
that you or beneficiaries may not hold Intel, the Plans service providers or any of their
respective employees or agents liable as plan fiduciaries for any losses sustained in your account
that are the result of your exercise of control over how your contributions are to be invested. In
other words, you bear the risk of the performance of your directed investments, even if that
performance is poor. Plan fiduciaries will not provide advice as to how you manage your investments
in your account under the Plan. Accordingly, for advice on how the assets in your account should be
invested, you should consult an investment advisor.
You may obtain the following additional information concerning the investment options available
under the Plan by visiting NetBenefits at www.401k.com or by calling the SERP Service Center at
(888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377):
|
|
A description of the annual operating expenses of each available investment fund (e.g.,
investment management fees, administrative fees, transaction costs) which reduce the rate of
return to participants and beneficiaries, and the aggregate amount of such expenses expressed
as a percentage of average net assets of the designated investment option; |
|
|
|
Copies of any prospectuses, financial statements and reports, and of any other materials
relating to the investment funds available under the Plan to the extent this information is

LOANS
Borrowing Money from Your Plan Accounts
The Plan includes a loan provision that allows you to borrow against your account balances if you
are an active employee. (Former employees, beneficiaries and former spouses of employees may not
initiate a loan.) These loans are available for any reason. Loans have the following advantages
over withdrawals:
|
|
You are generally not taxed on the loan proceeds.
|
|
|
|
Unless your loan violates Tax Code requirements, you are not required to pay the 10% penalty
tax, which may be assessed on most 401(k) account distributions. |
What You Can Borrow
Subject to the restrictions set forth below, you are permitted to borrow up to the lesser of
$50,000 or 50% of the vested balance of all of your accounts under the Plan and the Profit Sharing
Plan. Funds withdrawn do not share in the Plans investment gains or losses, but interest paid on
the loan will be credited directly to your accounts.
The minimum loan amount you can apply for is $500. You may only have two loans outstanding from the
Plan and the Profit Sharing Plan at any given time, and you may not borrow from the Plan an amount
that would cause your loans outstanding under the Plan to exceed 50% of your total vested balances
under the Plan and the Profit Sharing Plan.
The maximum amount of the aggregate balance of all loans that you have outstanding under the Plan
and the Profit Sharing Plan cannot exceed $50,000, minus the highest balance outstanding on all
loans at any single time in the last 12 months.
You must specify whether you would like your loan taken from a specific investment (within the
source hierarchy) or pro rata among all of your investments under the Plan. Participants who
invest in certain investment options are subject to redemption fees if they dont meet the minimum
holding period requirement. If you have invested in one of these funds and you take a loan from
the Plan, a redemption fee will be charged if the loan proceeds are taken from these funds before
you have satisfied the funds applicable holding period. For additional information on redemption
fees for these funds, see page A-5 on Attachment A and the descriptions of the investment options.
Loan Provisions
Loans are generally granted for periods of up to four years (nine years for buying or building your
primary residence) and are secured by your Plan account balance.
The loan amount will bear a fixed rate of interest equal to the prime rate plus 1% as reported in
the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month. The interest you pay on the loan is
credited directly to your account. The interest you pay on a loan under the Plan is not tax
deductible.
A one-time $35 loan application fee will be assessed on each application, and a quarterly
maintenance fee of $3.75 will be deducted from the account from which your loan was taken during
each quarter that your loan is outstanding.
Loan repayments are made through regular after-tax payroll deductions. You may also prepay your
loan in part or in full. If you have two loans outstanding, one loan must be fully repaid before
you will be allowed to initiate a new loan. There is no waiting period between loan requests when
applying for a second loan.
S-7
All loan repayments and interest will be invested according to your
current investment choices for contributions.
If you leave Intel, go on unpaid leave, or are transferred overseas, you may continue to make loan
payments directly to Fidelity. If on a leave, you should automatically receive a coupon book from
Fidelity in approximately two weeks to continue your loan payments; if you do not receive the
coupon book, contact the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377). If you fail to
continue making payments on your loan(s), the outstanding balance(s) may be treated as a
distribution subject to income taxes and penalties. See Taxation of Distributions for greater
details.
If you are receiving salary coordination, in most cases, loan payments will continue to be deducted
and you do not need to send a payment. It is your responsibility, however, to ensure that these
deductions are being made from your salary coordination. If you need assistance in reaching the
appropriate contact on your loan, please contact the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP
(888-401-7377). (If you joined Intel as part of a merger or acquisition, these rules may not
apply.)
If, for any reason, payroll withholding is not possible and you fail to make a loan payment on
time, your loan may be declared in default. If a default is declared, Intel may require immediate
payment of the entire unpaid balance, or deduct the unpaid balance from the assets in your Plan
account balance. If the loan is declared to be in default, it is considered a taxable distribution
and may be subject to income taxes and penalties. See Taxation of Distributions for greater
details. If a loan in default is not repaid, it will be considered outstanding for purposes of
calculating your maximum available loan. (To avoid this, you may be able to take a hardship
withdrawal of the outstanding loan amount, which would be a taxable distribution but would not
count against your limit in taking out future loans.)
To initiate a loan or for assistance with an existing loan, visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com or
call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377). More detailed information about the
loan process and terms is included in the loan application.
PLAN WITHDRAWALS DURING EMPLOYMENT
Under certain circumstances, you may withdraw money from your Plan accounts while you are still
employed. Beginning when you reach age 591/2, you may withdraw pretax contributions for any reason,
without restriction. However, if you are not yet age 591/2 and you are still employed, your ability
to withdraw pretax contributions is restricted because of the tax rules applicable to these
accounts. Withdrawals for non-hardship reasons may be subject to an individual service fee. See
Plan Fees and Expenses for more information. Withdrawals are permitted only according to the
following rules.
Age 591/2 Plan Withdrawals
Withdrawals of pretax contributions and earnings are permitted for employees who are at least age
591/2. Only one 591/2 withdrawal is permitted within a rolling 12-month period. This withdrawal will be
subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to an individual service fee. See Plan Fees and
Expenses for more information. To initiate an age 591/2 withdrawal, call the SERP Service Center at
(888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377) or visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com.
Hardship Withdrawals
Withdrawals of pretax contributions (including amounts in your rollover account) are permitted in
the event of certain financial hardships, which include the following situations:
|
|
Payment of extraordinary medical expenses previously incurred by or necessary to obtain care for
you, your spouse or dependents |
|
|
|
The purchase of or payment of rental deposits on your primary residence
|
S-8
|
|
Payment of tuition and related education fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education
for you, your spouse or dependents |
|
|
|
Prevent eviction from or foreclosure on your principal residence |
|
|
|
Payment of funeral expenses for a family member |
|
|
|
Repayment of a Plan loan in the event of a declared default |
|
|
|
Repair damage of primary residence |
For the calendar year in which you receive pretax money as a hardship withdrawal, you must pay
income taxes on such withdrawal, which may include an additional 10% penalty tax, if you are under
age 59 1/2. The hardship withdrawal amount can be increased for the anticipated income taxes and
penalty due on the withdrawal.
Hardship withdrawal requests must be approved by Fidelity, the Plan recordkeeper. Approval is
granted only if you are unable to obtain the necessary funds from other sources within Intel,
including loans from the Plan and Profit Sharing Plan, selling stock that you purchased through the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan or exercising stock options and selling that stock, and you indicate
in writing that you lack other resources to meet the financial need.
Hardship withdrawal requests can be made only once in a rolling 12-month period, and only your
contributions (e.g., not earnings on those contributions) can be withdrawn. Under the Tax Code,
this does not include earnings credited to your pretax account after December 31, 1988. To initiate
a hardship withdrawal, call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377) and speak with
a representative any business day from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Pacific).
You will be prohibited, under the terms of the plan, from making elective contributions and
employee contributions to the plan and all other plans maintained by the employer for six months
after the receipt of the hardship withdrawal.
After-Tax Withdrawals
If you participated in Intels Sheltered Employee Retirement Plan prior to 1988, you may have an
after-tax account available for withdrawal. After-tax withdrawals may be made for any reason but
are permitted only once in a rolling 12-month period. You may withdraw contributions made prior to
January 1, 1987 without penalty. If you withdraw contributions made on or after January 1, 1987, a
portion of this withdrawal is assumed to be interest earned and subject to ordinary income tax and
a 10% early withdrawal penalty may apply. To initiate a withdrawal of after-tax contributions, call
the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377) or visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com.
Free$tock Withdrawals
If you participated in Intels Sheltered Employee Retirement Plan prior to 1988, you may have a
Free$tock account available for withdrawal. Only one withdrawal of Free$tock is permitted in a
rolling 12-month period. Payment will be made in either cash or shares of stock, according to your
withdrawal instructions. If you do not make a specific election, the shares of Intel common stock
will be sold and you will receive a cash distribution equal to the weighted average sales price of
such shares. This withdrawal will be subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% early withdrawal
penalty may apply. To initiate a Free$tock withdrawal, call the SERP Service Center at (888)
401-SERP (888-401-7377) or visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com.
PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
There are a number of ways in which you can receive distributions from the Plan when you terminate
your employment with Intel. In some cases, your Plan account will be automatically distributed to
you. If not, you can initiate a distribution as soon as administratively feasible (which is no less
than 30 days) after you terminate your employment, including when you retire or sever your
employment as a result of total and
S-9
permanent disability. To initiate a Plan distribution or
request a Distribution Kit, contact the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377).
General Distribution Rules
The following general rules apply to distributions from the Plan:
|
|
If your Plan account value is $1,000 or less, it will
automatically be paid to you in a single lump sum. |
|
|
If your Plan account value is more than $1,000 but less than or
equal to $5,000, you may elect to roll over your account to an IRA
or to another employers eligible retirement plan that accepts
rollovers, or to receive your account value in a single lump sum.
If you do not make a distribution election within 60 days from the
date you receive your termination packet, your account will be
rolled over into a Fidelity Rollover IRA in your name. Information
on how to access your funds will be mailed to you after your
Fidelity Rollover IRA has been established. You should review the
tax consequences of each of your alternatives, including the
summary of federal income tax consequences. See Federal Income
Tax Considerations. |
|
|
If your Plan account value is more than $5,000, you may elect a
distribution of your account in one of the forms discussed below,
or you can elect to defer your Plan distribution to a later year
provided that you do not defer beyond April 1 of the calendar year
following the later of the year in which you terminate your
employment or the year in which you reach age 70 1/2. You can
request a distribution of either your pretax or after-tax Plan
balances. If you do not elect to defer your distribution past age
65, payment will commence no later than March 1 of the calendar
year following the year in which you turn age 65. If you do not
elect a form of distribution prior to March 1 following the year
in which you reach age 65, your Plan account will be distributed
in a single lump sum. You should review the tax consequences of
each of your alternatives, including the summary of federal income
tax consequences. See Federal Income Tax Considerations. |
|
|
If you have a loan outstanding and you do not receive a
distribution of your Plan account, you will receive a coupon book
and may continue to make payments on the loan in order to avoid
default. If you have a loan outstanding and you receive a
distribution of your account (whether automatically or by
election), the amount of your outstanding loan will be included in
the taxable portion of the distribution. If you have a loan
outstanding and your account is rolled over directly to another
employers eligible retirement plan or to an IRA (whether
automatically or by election), the balance due on your loan will
be deemed distributed to you in a taxable distribution. |
Forms of Distribution for Plan Accounts over $5,000
If your Plan account value is more than $5,000, you may elect to have your Plan account paid to you
in any of the following forms:
|
|
Lump sum cash distribution |
|
|
|
Single life annuity |
|
|
|
50% or 100% joint and survivor annuity |
|
|
|
10-year or 15-year continuous and certain annuity |
Lump Sum Distributions
If you elect to take a lump sum distribution, you may:
|
|
Take the entire distribution in cash and pay the taxes due on the amount in the year received. |
S-10
|
|
Take the entire distribution in cash and shares of Intel common stock with respect to any whole shares allocated under the Intel Stock Fund or as Free$tock, and pay the taxes due on cash and
your basis in the stock. |
|
|
|
Take the entire distribution in cash (or cash and shares of Intel common stock with respect to
any whole shares allocated under the Intel Stock Fund or as Free$tock ) and then within 60 days
roll over part or all of the distribution into an IRA or into another employers eligible
retirement plan that accepts rollovers. |
|
|
|
Request a direct rollover of your entire account to an IRA or to another employers eligible
retirement plan that accepts rollovers. |
|
|
|
Take part of your distribution in cash or shares of Intel stock with respect to any whole shares allocated under the Intel Stock Fund or as Free$tock, or both, and request that the rest
of your account be transferred to an IRA or to another employers eligible retirement plan that
accepts rollovers, in a direct rollover. |
If you take a distribution in cash or shares of Intel stock and subsequently roll it over, rather
than transferring that amount in a direct rollover, your distribution will be subject to
withholding taxes. See Federal Income Tax Considerations. You may roll over shares of Intel stock
to an IRA or to another employers eligible retirement plan only if the plan or IRA accepts such
stock.
Annuity Options
You may choose among three annuity options under the Plan. All annuity options are distributed from
the Intel Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the Pension Plan). If you want to receive your
Plan benefits in the form of an annuity, your Plan account will be transferred to the Pension Plan
and be subject to its spousal consent rules. Generally, if you are married and do not elect a joint
and survivor annuity under the Pension Plan, notarized spousal consent is required.
Single Life Annuity: This option provides a monthly payment to you for the rest of your life with
no provision for continuing payments to a survivor.
50% or 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity: This option provides a monthly payment to you for the rest
of your life, and after your death, monthly payments to your designated beneficiary for life. The
amount of each payment to your beneficiary is 50% or 100% of the amount of each payment made during
your life, but the actuarial value of the benefit is the same. This annuity is calculated based
upon a single life annuity and then actuarially reduced to reflect the fact that payments are
guaranteed for the lives of two people. The amount of the reduction is based on your age and the
age of your beneficiary when payments begin. The benefit can be calculated so that either 50% or
100% of the benefit will be continued to your designated beneficiary in the event of your death.
10- or 15-year Period-Certain Annuity: This annuity provides a monthly payment to you for the rest
of your life and, if you die, guarantees a payment to your designated beneficiary for the
guaranteed 10-year or 15-year period as elected.
Investment of Deferred Lump Sums
Unless you elect to receive a distribution, the funds in your accounts will continue to be invested
in the investment options selected by you following your termination of employment. You will
continue to be entitled to change the allocation of your account balances among the range of
investment options offered under the Plan.
S-11
Beneficiaries
You may designate a beneficiary to receive your Plan account balance in the event of your death
before benefits start. If there are no designated beneficiaries who are living when payment is to
be made, the benefits will be paid in the following order of priority:
1. |
|
To your spouse, |
|
2. |
|
To your living children, in equal shares, if you have no spouse, and |
|
3. |
|
To your estate if you have no spouse or living children. |
Your beneficiary designation under the Plan can be, but does not need to be, the same as the
beneficiary for other Intel benefit plans. Your designated beneficiary under the Plan may be
different from the beneficiary you designate for the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Plan. If you
previously submitted a single beneficiary designation covering both plans, or your beneficiary
designation was executed prior to 1996, when the Plan officially became a separate plan, that
beneficiary designation would apply to both plans until you submit new beneficiary designations. If
you are married, your spouse must consent to a designation of any other person or persons as
beneficiary and the spouse may revoke the consent if you change the designation after the original
consent was given. The consent must be in writing, a notary public must witness the consent, and
the consent must acknowledge that, by giving consent, your spouse waives all or some rights to
these benefits.
If your beneficiary becomes entitled to a distribution from the Plan, and the beneficiary is not
your surviving spouse, the distribution will be paid to your beneficiary in a single lump sum. Your
beneficiary will not be able to choose a direct rollover, and your beneficiary cannot roll over the
payment to another employers eligible retirement plan or to an IRA. If your beneficiary is your
surviving spouse, your beneficiary may choose to have an eligible rollover distribution paid in a
direct rollover to an IRA, into another employers eligible retirement plan that accepts rollovers,
or paid to your beneficiary in the form of a life annuity or a single lump sum.
If distribution of your account already started before your death, your beneficiary may or may not
be entitled to additional payments, depending on the form of payment you elected. See Annuity
Options for details.
Alternate Payees
If you are an alternate payee and you are the participants spouse or former spouse, you have the
same choices as the employee. Thus, you can have the payment paid as a direct rollover or paid to
you. If you have it paid to you, you can keep it or roll it over yourself to an IRA or to another
employers eligible retirement plan that accepts rollovers. If you are an alternate payee and you
are not the participants spouse or former spouse, you can have the payment paid to you. You cannot
choose a direct rollover, and you cannot roll over the payment yourself.
Merger Accounts
If you were an employee of a company acquired by Intel, the benefits you earned prior to the
acquisition generally will be in a rollover account, but in some cases may be in a merger account.
If you have a merger account, special additional methods of distribution may be available to you.
For more information about your rights in your merger account, contact the SERP Service Center at
(888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377).
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Consult a Professional Tax Advisor
The following summary of federal income tax consequences does not purport to be a complete
statement of the law in this area. Any U.S. tax advice contained in this document is not intended
or written to be used,
S-12
and cannot be used, by any person for the purpose of avoiding any U.S.
federal tax penalties that may be imposed on that person. The summary does not address the effects,
if any, of other federal taxes, such as inheritance taxes, or of state, local or foreign tax laws.
Because of the complexity of the tax laws with respect to these matters, and because such laws may
change, Intel recommends that you consult a tax advisor to assess your tax situation, as well as
the effect and applicability of state, local and other tax laws.
General
The Plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Tax Code. Qualification
under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) has the following key effects:
|
|
You are not taxed on the amounts you contribute to the Plan until these amounts are distributed
or withdrawn from the Plan. |
|
|
|
You are not taxed on earnings or gains in the Plan until these amounts are distributed or
withdrawn from the Plan. |
|
|
|
The trust which holds Plan assets is not taxed on contributions or earnings. |
|
|
|
Intel takes a current deduction for amounts contributed to the Plan. |
In general, when you receive money from the Plan, Intel is required to report the amount of the
distribution to the IRS. Annuity payments and lump sum payments are taxable income in the year each
payment is received.
Taxation of Distributions
In general, the recipient of a distribution from the Plan will be subject to federal income tax and
other state and local taxes in the year of such distribution on the amount of the distribution. The
tax treatment of any distribution depends in part on whether the distribution includes shares of
Intel common stock, whether the distribution qualifies as a lump sum distribution, and whether any
portion of the distribution is eligible to be rolled over to an IRA or other eligible retirement
plan.
|
|
Amounts paid to you are subject to withholding taxes. |
|
|
|
Some distributions may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax for early withdrawal. |
|
|
|
Distributions of Intel stock received as shares may be taxed less than distributions taken as
cash. |
|
|
|
Special tax treatment is available for some distributions. |
|
|
|
Distributions may be rolled over to an IRA or another retirement plan. |
Amounts Paid to You
When you receive money from the Plan, Intel is required to report your distribution amounts to the
IRS. Payments you receive from an annuity purchased with tax-deferred contributions are taxable
income in the year received, as are lump sum distributions. If you choose to have your Plan
benefits paid to you:
|
|
You will receive only 80% of the payment, because the Plan administrator is required to
withhold 20% of the payment and send it to the IRS as income tax withholding to be credited
against your taxes. |
|
|
|
Your payment will be taxed in the current year unless you roll it over. You may be able to use
special tax rules that could reduce the tax you owe. However, if you receive the payment before
age 591/2, you also may have to pay an additional 10% penalty tax for early withdrawal. |
|
|
|
You can roll over the 80% payment to your IRA, or to another employer plan that accepts your
rollover, within 60 days of receiving the payment. The amount rolled over will not be taxed
until you withdraw it from the IRA or employer plan. If you roll over your 80% payment, you may
be entitled to a tax refund of a portion of the 20% penalty credited against your taxes. |
S-13
|
|
If you want to roll over 100% of the payment to an IRA or to an employer plan, you must replace
the taxes that were withheld by depositing into the IRA or employer plan an amount equal to the
amount withheld. If you roll over only the amount you actually received, you will be taxed on
the amount that was withheld for taxes (the 20% federal withholding tax plus any state or other
taxes withheld).. |
You may avoid the 20% withholding if you elect to take your distribution in the form of a direct
rollover. Direct rollovers are explained in greater detail in the section Direct Rollovers.
Penalty Tax
Distributions that are not rolled over will be subject to a 10% excise tax (penalty) unless an
exception applies. Generally, the following payments are exempt from the penalty tax:
|
|
Payments to you upon termination of employment after reaching age 55 |
|
|
|
Payments to you after retirement due to disability |
|
|
|
Payments made to your beneficiary after your death |
|
|
|
Annuity payments based on your life expectancy |
|
|
|
Payments that do not exceed your tax-deductible medical expenses for the year (whether or not
you itemize deductions) |
|
|
|
Payments to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order |
|
|
|
Payments made to comply with a levy by the IRS |
Withholding Taxes
Mandatory Withholding: If you take a lump sum distribution as cash (whether or not you roll
it over into another plan or to an IRA), the Plan administrator is required to withhold 20% federal
income tax from the payment and report it to the IRS as income tax withholding to be credited
against your taxes. Your distribution may also be subject to additional withholding taxes if you
live in a state that imposes withholding taxes on retirement plan distributions.
Voluntary Withholding: If any portion of your payment is not an eligible rollover
distribution but is taxable, the mandatory withholding rules described above do not apply. In this
case, you may elect not to have withholding apply to that portion. To elect out of withholding, ask
Fidelity for the election form and related information.
Intel Stock
Intel stock in the Intel Stock Fund or your Free$tock account may be distributed as shares, or the
shares may be sold and distributed as cash. Under current Tax Code rules, if you elect to receive a
distribution of shares, the amount of tax you pay may be less than if you elect to receive a cash
distribution.
Under this special rule, you may have the option of not paying tax on the net unrealized
appreciation of the stock until you sell the stock. Generally, net unrealized appreciation is the
increase in the value of the stock while it is held by the Plan. If you elect to receive a
distribution of shares, you will be taxed only on your basis in the shares. Generally, your basis
in the stock in your Intel Stock Fund account is the amount
of contributions or transfers into the Intel Stock Fund, plus dividends, less the amount of cash
(if any) in your Intel Stock Fund account.
The Plan administrator is still required to withhold 20% federal taxes of the total cash and
taxable amount of Intel common stock and report it to the IRS as income tax withholding to be
credited against your taxes. However, the Plan administrator is not required to withhold the entire
20% if the cash portion of your distribution is less than 20% of the combined total of cash and
taxable common stock amounts. In that case, you will receive only the shares of Intel common stock,
and all cash will be credited as income tax withholding.
S-14
To use this special rule:
|
|
The payment must qualify as a lump sum distribution, as described below (or would qualify except that you do not yet have
five years of participation in the Plan); or |
|
|
|
The stock included in the payment must be attributable to after-tax employee contributions, if any. |
You may elect not to have the special rule apply to the net unrealized appreciation. In this case,
your net unrealized appreciation will be taxed in the year you receive the stock, unless you roll
over the stock. The stock (including any net unrealized appreciation) can be rolled over to an IRA
or another employer plan either in a direct rollover or a rollover that you make yourself. If you
roll over the stock to an IRA or another plan, the special rule for taxing stock distributions will
not apply to a later distribution of the amounts rolled over. If you receive Intel stock in a
payment that qualifies as a lump sum distribution, the special tax treatment for lump sum
distributions described below (such as five-year averaging) also may apply.
If you wish to take advantage of this special tax rule only with respect to your shares, you may
take your shares in a distribution and roll over the rest of your distribution in a direct rollover
or a 60-day rollover.
Distributions Qualifying as Lump Sum Distributions
Under the Tax Code, special federal income tax treatment applies to a distribution constituting a
lump sum distribution. Generally, a lump sum distribution is a payment, within one year, of your
entire balance under the Plan, together with your balance under any other profit-sharing or 401(k)
plans of Intel and its affiliates, and is payable because you have reached age 591/2, died, or have
terminated your service with Intel. For a payment to qualify as a lump sum distribution, you must
have been a participant in the Plan for at least five years. However, if Intel reemploys you after
you receive a lump sum distribution as a result of termination of your service with Intel, the Tax
Code provides for a recapture of the tax benefit that may have resulted to you as a result of the
application of certain favorable tax rules described below pertaining to lump sum distributions.
Special Distributions
If your distribution qualifies as a lump sum distribution, it may be eligible for special tax
treatment:
10-Year Averaging If You Were Born Before January 1, 1936: If you receive a lump sum
distribution and you were born before January 1, 1936, you can make a one-time election to
calculate the tax on the payment by using 10-year averaging (using 1986 tax rates). Ten-year
averaging often reduces the tax you owe.
Capital Gains Treatment If You Were Born Before January 1, 1936: If you receive a lump sum
distribution and you were born before January 1, 1936, you may elect to have the part of your
payment that is attributable to your pre-1974 participation in the Plan (if any) taxed as long-term capital
gain at a rate of 20%.
There are other limits on the special tax treatment for lump sum distributions. For example, you
can generally elect this special tax treatment only once in your lifetime, and the election applies
to all lump sum distributions that you receive in that same year. If any portion of a lump sum
distribution is rolled over, you cannot use this special tax treatment for later payments from the
Plan. If you roll over your payment to an IRA, you will not be able to use this special tax
treatment for later payments from the IRA. Also, if you roll over only a portion of your payment to
an IRA, this special tax treatment is not available for the rest of the payment.
S-15
Rollovers
A payment from the Plan that is eligible for rollover can be rolled over in two ways. You can
choose to have all or any portion of your payment either:
|
|
Paid to another retirement plan or IRA in a direct rollover, or
|
|
|
|
Paid to you, and deposited by you within 60 days into another plan or IRA (a 60-day rollover). |
This choice will affect whether withholding taxes apply to your distribution.
Payments That Cannot Be Rolled Over
Payments from the Plan may be eligible rollover distributions. This means that they can be rolled
over to an IRA or to another employer plan that accepts rollovers. Fidelity will advise you as to
what portion of your payment is an eligible rollover distribution.
The following types of payments cannot be rolled over:
Long-term Payments: You cannot roll over a payment if it is part of a series of equal (or
almost equal) payments that are made at least once a year and that will last for:
|
|
Your lifetime (or your life expectancy), or |
|
|
|
Your lifetime and your beneficiarys lifetime (or life expectancies), or |
|
|
|
A period of 10 years or more. |
Required Minimum Payments: Beginning in the year you reach age 70 1/2 or retire, whichever is
later, a certain portion of your payment cannot be rolled over because it is a required minimum
payment that must be paid to you.
Hardship Withdrawals: A hardship withdrawal from the Plan cannot be rolled over.
Direct Rollovers
If you choose to have your distribution transferred in a direct rollover:
|
|
Your payment will not be taxed in the current year and no income tax will be withheld. |
|
|
|
Your payment will be made directly to your IRA or, if you choose, to another employer plan that
accepts your rollover. |
|
|
|
Your payment will be taxed later when you withdraw it from the IRA or the qualified employer
plan. |
Direct Rollover to an IRA: You can open an IRA to receive the direct rollover. The term
IRA includes individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities. If you choose to
have your payment made directly to an IRA, contact an IRA sponsor, usually a financial institution,
to find out how to have your payment made in a direct rollover to an IRA at that institution. If you are unsure of how to
invest your money, you can temporarily establish an IRA to receive the payment. However, in
choosing an IRA, you may wish to consider whether the IRA you choose will allow you to move all or
a part of your payment to another IRA at a later date, without penalties or other limitations.
Direct Rollover to a Plan: If a new employer that has a plan employs you, and you want a
direct rollover to that plan, ask the administrator of that plan whether it will accept your
rollover. An employer plan is not legally required to accept a rollover. If your new employers
plan does not accept a rollover, you can choose a direct rollover to an IRA.
S-16
60-Day Rollover
If you have an eligible rollover distribution paid to you, you can still decide to roll over all or
part of it to an IRA or another employer plan that accepts rollovers. If you decide to roll over,
you must make the rollover within 60 days after you receive the payment. The portion of your
payment that is rolled over will not be taxed until you take it out of the IRA or the employer
plan.
You can roll over up to 100% of the eligible rollover distribution, including an amount equal to
the 20% that was withheld. If you choose to roll over 100%, you must find other money within the
60-day period to contribute to the IRA or the employer plan to replace the 20% that was withheld.
On the other hand, if you roll over only the 80% that you received, you will be taxed on the 20%
that was withheld.
Example: Your eligible rollover distribution is $10,000, and you choose to have it paid to you. You
will receive $8,000, and $2,000 will be sent to the IRS as income tax withholding. Within 60 days
after receiving the $8,000, you may roll over the entire $10,000 to an IRA or employer plan. To do
this, you roll over the $8,000 you received from the Plan, and you will have to find $2,000 from
other sources (e.g., savings, loans). In this case, the entire $10,000 is not taxed until you take
it out of the IRA or employer plan. If you roll over the entire $10,000, when you file your income
tax return, you may receive a refund of the $2,000 withheld. If, on the other hand, you roll over
only $8,000, the $2,000 you did not roll over is taxed in the year it was withheld. When you file
your income tax return, you may receive a refund of the part of the $2,000 withheld. However, any
refund is likely to be larger if you roll over the entire $10,000.
Beneficiaries
In general, the rules summarized above that apply to payments to employees also apply to payments
to surviving spouses of employees and to spouses or former spouses who are alternate payees. You
are an alternate payee if your interest in the Plan results from a qualified domestic relations
order, which is an order issued by a court, usually in connection with a divorce or legal
separation. Some of the rules summarized above also apply to a deceased employees beneficiary who
is not a spouse. However, there are some exceptions for payments to surviving spouses, alternate
payees and other beneficiaries that should be mentioned.
If you are a surviving spouse, you may choose to have an eligible rollover distribution paid in a
direct rollover to an IRA or paid to you. If you have the payment paid to you, you can keep it or
roll it over yourself to an IRA, but you cannot roll it over to an employer plan. If you are an
alternate payee, you have the same choices as the employee. Thus, you can have the payment paid as
a direct rollover or paid to you. If you have it paid to you, you can keep it or roll it over
yourself to an IRA or to another employer plan that accepts rollovers. If you are a beneficiary
other than the surviving spouse, you cannot choose a direct rollover, and you cannot roll over the
payment yourself.
If you are a surviving spouse, an alternate payee or another beneficiary, you may be able to use
the special tax treatment for lump sum distributions and the special rule for payments that include
company stock, as described above. If you receive a payment because of the employees death, you
may be able to treat the payment as a lump sum distribution if the employee met the appropriate age requirements, whether or
not the employee had five years of participation in the Plan.
Distribution Summary
The following table summarizes the principal rules of distributions. Some information described
above is not in this table, and participants are encouraged to read all relevant tax information

Minimum Required Distributions
Distributions from the Plan generally must begin on or before April 1 of the calendar year
following the later of the calendar year in which you reach age 70 1/2, or the calendar year in which
you retire.
A 50% non-deductible excise tax will be imposed on amounts required to be distributed commencing on
this date that are not so distributed.
Taxation of Excess Contributions
If you make contributions to the Plan in excess of limitations imposed by the Plan or the Tax Code,
you will be subject to taxation as follows:
|
|
Contributions by you to the Plan in excess of the maximum tax-excludable amount under Tax Code
Section 402(g) for each calendar year ($15,000 for 2006, which amount may be increased in 2007
for cost-of-living adjustments), taking into account your tax-excludable salary reduction
contributions under all arrangements qualifying under Section 401(k), all simplified employee
pension arrangements qualifying under Section 408 and all annuity contracts qualifying under
Section 403(b), together with income thereon, are includable in your gross income for federal
income tax purposes for the taxable year of the contribution, and also will be subject to taxation on
distribution, unless the distribution occurs by April 15 following the close of your taxable
year in which the excess amount was contributed. |
|
|
|
If you are a highly compensated employee, contributions for a Plan year that are in excess of
the limitations on these contributions under Tax Code Section 401(k) and that are distributed
to you, after adjustment for gain or loss, are included in your gross income for federal income
tax purposes in your taxable year in which the contribution occurred, if the distribution is
within two months after the close of the Plan year in which the contribution occurred.
Otherwise, the excess distribution will be |
S-18
|
|
included in gross income in your taxable year in
which the distribution occurs, and Intel will be liable for an excise tax equal to 10% of the
amount of the excess contributions distributed. |
Tax Effects on Intel
Intel treats amounts contributed to the Plan under your salary reduction election as employer
contributions, which are deductible by Intel in the year that the contributions are made. As
discussed above, these contributions are not taxable to you until the year in which you receive a
distribution from the Plan. There are no tax consequences to Intel as a result of Plan
distributions made to you.
PLAN FEES AND EXPENSES
The following table is provided to help you understand how fees are assessed and paid for the Plan.
There are several services available to help you better understand the fees and expenses charged

extent those expenses are not offset by expense
reimbursements and other credits. Several
mutual funds offered in the Plan pay credits
back to the Plan ranging from .05% to .35% of
the net assets value of the Plan balances in
these funds. These credits are in turn used to
pay a portion of the Plan administrative
expenses. Plan expenses in 2005 were $2.847
million, $2.775 million of which were paid by
credits back to the Plan. See Attachment A to
this prospectus supplement for additional
information on which mutual funds pay credits
back to the Plan. |

Certain Laws

Certain executive officers, members of Intels Board of Directors and any greater than 10%
stockholders are subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, under which a
purchase of the Intel common stock within six months before or after any sale of such stock could
result in recovery by Intel of all or a portion of any profit realized by the officer, director or
greater than 10% stockholder from any such transaction, unless such transaction is exempt from
these provisions under SEC rules. Certain executive officers, directors and greater than 10%
stockholders are required to file reports of changes in beneficial
S-21

will notify you if it considers you to be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Changes in
allocations of account balances among any of the investment options that will change the account
balance in the Intel Stock Fund may have implications under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
All transactions involving Intel common stock, including all contributions and withdrawals from the
Intel Stock Fund and all reallocations of account balances under the Plan that will change the
account balance in the Intel Stock Fund, are potentially subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.
Accordingly, you must not trade in Intel common stock or make any changes to your investment
elections affecting the Intel Stock Fund (including transfers into or out of the Intel Stock Fund

percentage of your compensation contributed) at any time when you are in possession of material
non-public information about Intel. In addition, if you are subject to Intels stock trading window
guidelines, you must observe those guidelines in connection with transactions involving the Intel
Stock Fund.

INTEL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN INVESTMENT OPTIONS
This document, dated December 28, 2006, constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities
that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
INTRODUCTION
You have a choice of investment options in which you may invest your pretax contributions. The Plan
provides you with an opportunity to invest in the Intel Stock Fund and a broad range of investment
options selected by Intel. These investment options may change from time to time, with or without
notice to the Plan participants.
You may split your investment in minimum increments of 1% into or among any of the investment
options offered under the Plan. You may also reallocate your current investments into or among
different investment options offered under the Plan in minimum increments of 1% or a specific
dollar amount (except the Intel Stock Fund). Beginning November 1, 2006, your participation in the
Intel Stock Fund will be limited to 20% of your future deferrals and your ability to increase your
participation in the Intel Stock Fund will be limited to 20% of your existing account balance under
the Plan (determined on the date you make the election).
Except for the description of the Intel Stock Fund, the LifeStage Funds and the Core Asset Class
Funds, the sources of the fund descriptions in Attachment A to this prospectus supplement are
excerpts from the prospectuses and fund brochures which were provided by the funds investment
manager(s).
This summary is intended to give you only a broad overview of each available investment option, and
you should not base your investment decisions solely on these investment option descriptions. You
should consult a prospectus or brochure about the investment options in which you are interested.
Those documents provide information about the investment options investment strategy and operation
(including any trade limitations and fees). For more information, visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com
or call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377).
When you elect to contribute to the Plan, you should select one or more investment options for your
contributions. Once an investment election is made, you may change investment elections for future
contributions, for existing balances already held in your account, or for both future contributions
and existing balances, on a daily basis (subject to the Plans excessive trading policy and any
trading fees) by visiting NetBenefits at www.401k.com or by calling the SERP Service Center at
(888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377). Transaction requests received before 4 p.m. (Eastern) typically will
receive the following business days closing price unless the transaction involves a daily share
accounted fund. A transaction request that is funded by transferring amounts out of a daily share
accounted fund will be priced on the day after the funds are received from settlement of the daily
share accounted fund transaction. Currently, the Intel Stock Fund is the only daily share accounted
fund offered as an investment option under the Plan.
A daily share accounted fund is an investment option in which participants accounts reflect
ownership of the underlying stock rather than ownership of units in the fund itself. If transaction
requests for daily share accounted funds are requested prior to 4 p.m. (Eastern) on a business day,
the transactions typically will
SA-1
receive the weighted average purchase price or sale price on the following business day. Otherwise,
they will receive the weighted average purchase price or sale price on the second business day
after the transaction is received. The weighted average purchase price for any given day is
calculated by dividing the aggregate price of all purchases for the daily share accounted fund
(less any transaction fees) on that day by the number of shares purchased. Similarly, the weighted
average sale price on any given day is calculated by dividing the aggregate price of all sales on
behalf of the daily share accounted fund (less any transaction fees) on that day by the number of
shares sold. There is currently a three-day settlement period after the purchase or sale date for
these funds.
If you have Free$tock, you have the option of changing your investment from Intel stock to any
other Plan investment option. For more information, call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP
(888-401-7377) or visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com.
Any voting rights, tender rights, or other similar rights which are incidental to holding any
interest in any investment option you select under the Plan will be passed through to you.
The Plan provides you with an opportunity to invest in the Intel Stock Fund and a broad range of
other investment options selected by Intel. Intel reserves the right without notice, and on a
temporary or permanent basis: to add, change or remove one or more of your investment options under
the Plan; to change the dates on which elections can be made or on which elections become
effective; to suspend the ability to invest in or move funds into or out of any one or all
investment options; and to limit the number of changes you may make in your contribution selections
during any calendar year.
The investment options under the Plan, including the Intel Stock Fund, each have different
investment objectives and consequently, different elements of risk and potentials for growth.
Before deciding how to invest your account, you need to assess your own tolerance for risk in view
of your long-term plans and the length of time you expect to continue working. In addition, in
determining whether to allocate assets to the Intel Stock Fund and how much to allocate, you should
carefully consider the level of your participation in other Intel stock benefit plans and the fact
that your overall compensation is already substantially tied to Intels performance. Certain of the
other investment options that invest in stocks may also invest in Intels common stock, although
any such holdings are typically limited to no more than 5% of the funds assets.
Intel and the Plan service providers do not monitor your investment choices and are not responsible
if those choices result in losses. The Plan is intended to operate as an ERISA Section 404(c)
plan. The Plan offers participants and beneficiaries the opportunity to exercise control over the
assets contributed and accumulated on their behalf by allowing them to choose the manner in which
these assets will be invested from a broad range of investment alternatives. This means that you or
beneficiaries may not hold Intel, the Plans service providers or any of their respective employees
or agents liable as plan fiduciaries for any losses sustained in your account that are the result
of your exercise of control over how your contributions are to be invested. In other words, you
bear the risk of the performance of your directed investments, even if that performance is poor.
Plan fiduciaries will not provide advice as to how you manage your investments in your account
under the Plan. Accordingly, for advice on how the assets in your account should be invested, you
should consult an investment advisor.
You may obtain the following additional information concerning the investment options available
under the Plan by visiting NetBenefits at www.401k.com or by calling the SERP Service Center at
(888) 401-SERP (888-401-7377):

LIFESTAGE FUNDS
Blended Fund Investments
LifeStage Funds are designed to be complete investment solutions for individuals. Each LifeStage
strategy is a portfolio consisting of the Core Asset Class Funds in various investment mixes,
designed to take into
SA-5
account both a particular risk tolerance and when the benefits will be needed. As time passes,
the investment mix gradually shifts from a greater concentration of higher-risk investments (namely
stocks) to a greater concentration of lower-risk investments (namely bonds and short-term
investments).
The number, such as LifeStage 2045, represents the approximate year when you plan to start
withdrawing your benefits. As you get closer to this year, the portfolios asset mix is designed to
adjust to a more conservative level of risk that is appropriate for each stage of your life. With
many years until retirement, the LifeStage Funds promote a growth strategy with a greater level of
risk. As you approach the year in which you start using your retirement benefits, the emphasis
changes toward the preservation of capital.
One LifeStage Fund, LifeStage Retirement, does not include a number because it is designed for
people currently withdrawing their benefits. The LifeStage Retirement Fund is intended for
participants at or nearing retirement. Although the fund invests in a greater concentration of
lower-risk investments, such as bonds and short-term investments, it does include a small stock
allocation.
The performance of each LifeStage Fund is subject to the underlying investment options in which the
fund invests. Please refer to the fund descriptions for each of the individual Core Asset Class
Funds, which follow the Life Stage Fund descriptions. LifeStage Funds are subject to the volatility
of the financial markets in the United States and abroad. Each funds share price, yield, and
return will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.
Goal: These funds seek to provide a complete investment strategy for participants by creating mixes
of stocks, bonds, and cash targeted to the individuals time horizon and tolerance for risk.
What they invest in: Each LifeStage strategy is a portfolio consisting of the Core Asset Class
Funds in various investment mixes, designed for both a particular risk tolerance and when the
benefits will be needed.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who is seeking a complete diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and
short-term investments, targeted to the year in which money will be needed (i.e., 2015,
2035, and 2045). |
These options are not mutual funds, but collective investment funds that pool the assets of
tax-qualified employee benefit plans into a single fund with a common objective. Share price and
return will vary. Unlike mutual funds, these funds are not marketed to the general public. With
reduced marketing costs, they generally have lower management expenses and fees than mutual funds.
Because these funds are not quoted on a public exchange, they do not have ticker symbols and
therefore cannot be looked up in the newspaper or on the Internet.
Although a separate prospectus is not available, participants have access to detailed information
about the LifeStage Funds via Fidelity NetBenefits. To track the performance of these investment
options, visit NetBenefits at www.401k.com. Once you enter your SSN or Customer ID and PIN, select

CORE ASSET CLASS FUNDS
The Core Asset Class Funds are designed to be low-cost investment options consisting of the major
core asset classes. They are available only to investors through company-sponsored plans. They are
the building blocks for asset allocation, with easy-to-understand strategies (e.g., small-cap
stocks or international stocks) versus registered mutual funds with names that dont necessarily
represent the funds objective (e.g., American Century Ultra Fund). They are collective investment
funds and separate accounts, not mutual funds. A collective investment fund is similar to a
mutual fund in that it combines the money of many investors who each own a share of the pool. A
separate account is an individually managed pool of assets just for Intels plan participants.
Mutual funds, collective investment funds, and separate accounts typically have fund managers who
invest the assets on behalf of all the shareholders. Collective investment funds and separate
accounts, however, are different from mutual funds in the way they are set up legally. Each mutual
fund is registered with the SEC. The mutual funds offered through the Plan are available to the
general public. The collective investment funds and separate accounts offered through the Plan are
not available to the general public. They are part of a trust maintained for the collective
investment of qualified pension or profit sharing plans, or for Intels separate account
participants. A group trust or separate account must be maintained in accordance with applicable
Tax Code and Department of Labor regulations.
Unlike mutual funds, these funds are not marketed to the general public. With reduced marketing
costs, they generally have lower management expenses and fees than mutual funds. Because they are
not quoted on a public exchange, they do not have a ticker symbol and therefore cannot be looked up
in the newspaper or on the Internet. Although a separate prospectus is not available, participants
have access to detailed information about the Core Asset Class Funds via Fidelity NetBenefits. To
track the performance of these investment options, visit NetBenefits at www401k.com. Information on

economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major
industries. The S&P 500 Index focuses on the large capitalization segment of the market, with over
80% coverage of U.S. stocks. The fund employs full replication, holding each company in proportion

capitalization from the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 represents 98% of the investable U.S.
equity market. The fund is comprised of both an index component as well as an investment in
specific U.S. small capitalization securities. The index component of the fund seeks to replicate
the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, holding stocks in proportion to their weight in the
index. For liquidity reasons, securities with extremely small market capitalizations may not be
replicated. The actively managed component of the fund employs a disciplined approach, employing
both quantitative and qualitative analysis, seeking to improve upon index performance by exploiting
market inefficiencies.

What it invests in: The International Stock Fund seeks to exceed the performance of the MSCI EAFE
Index. The fund is comprised of both an index component as well as an investment in specific
international securities. The index component of this fund seeks to replicate the performance of
the MSCI EAFE Index. This index measures the stock markets of developed countries in Europe,
Australasia, and the Far East, while excluding securities from the United States and Canada. Within
each individual country, the fund holds each security in proportion to its market capitalization
weight. The index component may utilize equity futures contracts and currency forwards to better
correlate itself to its benchmark. The actively managed component seeks to improve upon index
performance by exploiting market inefficiencies. The fund invests primarily in foreign stocks and
bonds that provide the potential for capital appreciation and income. Although, the manager may
utilize bonds and currencies, the focus of this fund remains on international stocks.

Cash Portfolio (considered a competing fund). Before exchanging from the Stable Value Fund to the
Institutional Cash Portfolio, you must first move the assets to a non-competing fund for 90 days.

insurance companies, banks, or other approved financial institutions, as a condition for issuing
investment contracts to retirement plans. Investments in the Stable Value Fund are not guaranteed
by Standish Mellon Asset Management LLC or the Plan sponsor, and are not insured by the FDIC.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT OPTIONS
If you want to invest in asset classes or investment strategies beyond those offered in the
LifeStage Funds or Core Asset Class Funds categories, or have a more focused investment approach,
the Additional Investment Options may be appropriate for you. Intel makes available a large
selection of registered mutual funds and collective investment funds from many well-known fund
companies spanning a variety of investment styles and categories.
Intel offers these mutual funds and collective investment funds to expand the choices available to

professional money manager buys and sells securities with this money to pursue the funds
objectives and to seek to earn a profit for its investors. This is the most common type of
investment within defined contribution plans.
The description for each of the investment options available through the Additional Investment
Options category is listed and categorized by its respective Morningstar category as of January 31,
2004. Investment options are listed in alphabetical order within each category.

benefit plans into a single fund with a common objective.

Brandywine Blue Fund, Inc.
VRS code: 99827 Ticker: BLUEX
What it is: A growth mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks to increase the value of your investment over the long term through capital growth.
What it invests in: Primarily invests in mid-cap and larger U.S. companies, and, to a lesser
extent, in equity securities of foreign issuers. Invests in companies in a broad range of
industries but generally focus on companies whose earnings are growing by at least 20% per year and
whose stocks sell at reasonable price-to-earnings ratios. Investments in mid-sized companies may
involve greater risks than those in larger, more well known companies, but may be less volatile
than investments in smaller companies. Foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets,
involve greater risk and may offer greater potential returns than U.S. investments. This risk

consisting of equity securities of small cap issuers from a variety of different countries,

VRS code: 22039 Ticker: MSISX
What it is: A value mutual fund that invests internationally.
SA-33
Goal: Seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
What it invests in: Primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of small-cap
non-U.S. issuers based on individual stock selection. The manager emphasizes a bottom-up approach
to investing that seeks to identify securities of undervalued issuers. The manager selects issuers
from a universe comprised of approximately 5000 small cap companies in non-U.S. markets, most with
market capitalizations of generally less than $2 billion. The invest process is value driven and
based on individual stock selection. In assessing investment opportunities, the manager considers
value criteria with an emphasis on cash flow and intrinsic value of company assets. Securities
which appear undervalued according to these criteria are then subjected to in-depth fundamental
analysis. The manager conducts a thorough investigation of the issuers balance sheet, cash flow
and income statement and assesses the companys business franchise, including product
competitiveness, market positioning and industry structure. Foreign investments, especially those
in emerging markets, involve greater risks and may offer greater potential returns than U.S.
investments. These risks include political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well
as the risk of currency fluctuations. In addition, investments in small-sized corporations are more
vulnerable to financial risks and other risks than larger corporations and may involve a higher
degree of price volatility than investments in the general equity markets. If you sell your shares
after holding them for less than 30 days, the fund will deduct a short-term trading fee from your
account equal to 2% of the value of the shares sold. Share price and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:

What it is: A balanced mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
What it invests in: Under normal market conditions, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of
debt and equity securities. The fund seeks income by selecting investments such as corporate,
foreign and U.S. Treasury bonds, as well as stock with attractive dividend yields. The fund may
invest in securities rated below investment grade, also known as junk bonds. Generally, lower
rated securities pay higher yields than more highly rated securities to compensate investors for
the higher risk. The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities. Foreign
investments, especially those in emerging markets, involve greater risk and may offer greater
potential returns than U.S. investments. There is a short-term trading fee of 2.00% for shares held
less than 7 days. Share price and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who is looking for more income than that of a money market investment and who
is willing to accept the greater risk of corporate, foreign and U.S. Treasury bonds. |
|
|
|
|
Someone who is looking for some price stability to balance more aggressive investment
choices. |

BOND INVESTMENTS
Long-Term Government
SA-39
PIMCO Long-Term U.S. Government FundInstitutional Class
VRS code: 93598 Ticker: PGOVX
What it is: An income mutual fund.
Goal: To provide maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent
investment management.
What it invests in: Primarily in high-quality, long-term U.S. government securities. The fund
maintains an average portfolio duration of about 10 years and a minimum average duration of eight
years (approximately equal to an average maturity of 20 years). The total rate of return is
expected to be more volatile than that of short- and intermediate-term bond funds, due to the risk
involved with longer duration investments. There is a short-term trading fee of 2.00% for shares
held less than 30 days. Duration estimates how much a bonds price fluctuates with changes in
comparable interest rates. Other factors can also influence a bond funds performance and share
price. Share price, yield and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone with an aggressive investment portfolio who wants to balance stock market risk
with a more stable option. |
|
|
|
|
Someone looking for a higher-returning bond fund, who is also willing to accept the
increased volatility associated with longer-maturity bonds. |
Institutional Class shares are available through the Plan. Managed by Pacific Investment Management
Company, which provided the description for this fund.
Intermediate Government
Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund
VRS code: 21019 Ticker: VIPSX
What it is: A bond mutual fund.
Goal: The fund seeks to provide investors inflation protection and income consistent with
investment in inflation-indexed securities.
What it invests in: The fund will invest primarily in inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S.
government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and corporations. The fund may invest in bonds of
any maturity; however, its dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to be in the range of 7 to
20 years. At a minimum, all bonds purchased by the Fund will be rated investment-grade. Share
price, yield and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone interested in bonds. |
|
|
|
|
Someone who wants the potential for income or is looking to diversify a growth oriented
portfolio with a more conservative bond fund. |

Goal: Seeks to provide a high level of current income and preserve investors principal.
What it invests in: Normally, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in U.S. Treasury
securities, which include bills, bonds, and notes issued by the U.S. Treasury. The fund is expected

Long-Term
Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index FundInvestor Class
VRS code: 45467 Ticker: VBLTX
What it is: A bond mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks a high and sustainable level of interest income.
What it invests in: The fund attempts to track the performance of the Lehman Brothers Long
Government/Credit Index, which is made up of more than 1,400 bonds with maturities greater than ten
years issued by the U.S. Treasury, federal agencies, and corporations. Because it is neither
practical nor cost-effective to own every security in the index, the fund invests in a large
sampling that matches key characteristics of the index (such as market-sector weightings, coupon
interest rates, credit quality, and maturity). Like the index, the fund excludes GNMAs and other
mortgage-backed securities. Share price, yield, and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone seeking a low-cost, broadly diversified, bond investment to balance the risk of
a portfolio containing stocks. |
|
|
|

Someone seeking a high and relatively stable level of income. |

investment management.
What it invests in: All types of bonds, including U.S. government, corporate, mortgage and foreign.
While the fund maintains an average portfolio duration of three to six years(approximately equal to
an average maturity of five to 12 years), investments may also include short- and long-maturity
bonds. There is a short-term trading fee of 2.00% for shares held less than 7 days. Duration
estimates how much a bonds price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. Other
factors can also influence a bond funds performance and share price. Share price, yield, and
return will vary.

High-Yield
Fidelity Capital & Income Fund
VRS code: 00038 Ticker: FAGIX
What it is: An income mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks to provide a combination of income and capital growth.
What it invests in: Primarily invests in equity and debt securities, including defaulted
securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. The fund invests in companies in
troubled or uncertain financial condition. The fund may invest in securities of domestic and
foreign issuers. If you sell any of your shares after holding them for less than 90 days, the
fund will deduct a short-term trading fee from your account equal to 1% of the value of the
shares sold. Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or
SA-42
price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. In general, bond prices
rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term
securities. Share price and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who plans to invest long term. |
|
|
|
|
Someone who understands the greater investment risk involved in lower-quality
securities, and who is willing to take more investment risk than is generally associated
with bond funds. |
Managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, which provided the description for this fund.

PIMCO High Yield FundInstitutional Class
VRS code: 93596 Ticker: PHIYX
What it is: An income mutual fund that invests in high-yield securities.
Goal: Seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment
management.
What it invests in: Primarily invests at least 80% of assets in a diversified portfolio of
high-yield securities (junk bonds) rated below investment grade, but at least B (the relatively
higher-quality securities within the junk bond ratings). These investments may provide greater
potential for higher earnings, but they may also have an increased risk of failure to repay
principal or make interest payments. The fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in
euro-denominated securities and will normally hedge at least 75% of its euro exposure to reduce
currency risk. It may invest without limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign
issuers, and may invest up to 25% in derivatives. An investment in high yield, lower-rated
securities generally involves greater risk to principal than investments in higher-rated bonds.
Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political
developments. Diversification does not ensure against loss. Derivatives, such as futures, options,
and swaps may be used as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset, for hedging
risk, and for managing liquidity. Using derivatives involves risks and portfolios investing in
derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested. There is a short-term trading fee
of 2.00% for shares held less than 30 days. Share price, yield and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone looking for high income and total return, and who is comfortable with the
higher investment risks associated with junk bonds. |
|
|
|
|
Someone who believes that over the long term, the higher yields available with a
high-yield bond fund can compensate investors for additional credit risk. |
Institutional Class shares are available through the Plan. Managed by Pacific Investment Management
Company, which provided the description for this fund.
Multisector
Loomis Sayles Bond FundInstitutional Class
VRS code: 47123 Ticker: LSBDX
What it is: A bond mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks to provide a high total return through current income and capital appreciation.
SA-43
What it invests in: Primarily invests in investment grade fixed income securities, although it may
invest up to 35% of its assets in lower rated fixed income securities (junk bonds) and up to 20%
of its assets in preferred stocks. Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or
price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The fund may also
invest any portion of its assets in securities of Canadian issuers and up to 20% of its assets in
other foreign securities, which involve greater risks. Share price and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who wants the potential for income or who wants to balance a growth-oriented
portfolio. |
|
|
|
|
Someone who is looking for more income than might come from a money market investment,
and who is willing to accept less stability of share price. |

International
Evergreen International Bond Fund
VRS code: 46860 Ticker: ESICX
What it is: An income mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks to provide capital growth and current income.
What it invests in: Primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in debt securities including
obligations of foreign or government entities, corporations or supranational agencies denominated
in various currencies. Up to 35% of the debt securities in which the fund invests may be below
investment grade. Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes
due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The fund will invest in at least
three countries or supranational agencies. No more than 5% of the Funds assets will be invested in
debt obligations or similar securities denominated in the currencies of developing countries. The
fund may also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to foreign markets in
which the funds portfolio is underweighted. Foreign investments, especially those in emerging
markets, involve greater risk and may offer greater potential returns than U.S. investments. This
risk includes political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of
currency fluctuation. Share price, yield, and return will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who wants to complement the performance of U.S. investments with that of
investments overseas, which may behave quite differently, and who wants to invest in
bonds. |
|
|
|
|
Someone who wants exposure to international bond markets through a single investment
and who is comfortable with the higher risks associated with international investing,
including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. |

Emerging Markets
PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond FundInstitutional Class
VRS code: 96094 Ticker: PEBIX
SA-44
What it is: An income mutual fund.
Goal: Seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment
management.
What it invests in: Normally 80% of the funds assets are in fixed income instruments of issuers
that economically are tied to countries with emerging securities markets. Such securities may be
denominated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. The fund may invest substantially all its
assets in high yield securities (junk bonds) rated below B by Moodys or S&P, or, if unrated,
determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. These investments may provide greater potential
for higher earnings, but they may also have an increased risk of failure to repay principal or make
interest payments. The average portfolio duration of this fund varies based on PIMCOs forecast for
interest rates and, under normal conditions, is not expected to exceed eight years. Foreign
investments, especially those in emerging markets, involve greater risk and may offer greater
potential returns than U.S. investments. This risk includes the political and economic
uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of currency fluctuation. Investments in
lower-rated securities involve greater risk than those in other debt securities, including the risk
of default. There is a short-term trading fee of 2.00% for shares held less than 30 days. Duration
estimates how much a bonds price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. Other
factors can also influence a bond funds performance and share price. Share price, yield and return
will vary.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who believes that over the long term, the higher yields available with a
high-yield bond fund can compensate investors for additional credit risk. |
|
|
|
|
Someone looking for high income and total return, and who is comfortable with the
higher investment risks associated with junk bonds. |

THE RETURNS ON INVESTMENT SHOWN ABOVE ARE FOR PURPOSES OF ILLUSTRATION ONLY. BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED
ON HISTORICAL DATA, THEY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED INDICATIVE OF HOW ANY OF THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS
WOULD PERFORM IN ANY FUTURE YEAR. INTEL DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF THE INVESTMENT
OPTIONS.
INVESTMENT RISKS AND RETURNS
When thinking about investment risk, it is important to distinguish between short-term and
long-term risk. Over a short investment period, the most serious type of investment risk is the
risk of loss of ones principal investment due to volatility. Stocks tend to pose a significantly
greater short-term risk than do fixed-income investments or cash equivalents. Over a long
investment period, the most serious investment risk is the failure to outperform inflation. Over
the long-term, stocks have historically outpaced inflation and provided higher rates of return than
other types of investment. However, historical performance is no guarantee of future performance.
Each of the investment options available under the Plan is subject to a degree of investment risk,
and the different investment options are exposed to different kinds and levels of risk. In general,
fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate fluctuations and possible defaults in the
payment of interest or the repayment of principal, while equity investments in business enterprises
depend on market perceptions of the expected profitability of the enterprises, and both are also
affected by general economic and market conditions. Fixed-income or equity investments of foreign
issuers also are subject to fluctuations in value based on currency exchange rates. The absence of
diversification in the Intel Stock Fund creates an additional element of risk. None of the
investment options offered under the Plan is insured by any government agency, nor does Intel make
any guarantee with respect to any of the investment options. You should recognize that any
investment option could incur losses, which could mean a loss of value in their accounts.
You should carefully review the individual prospectuses and Attachment B for the Intel Stock Fund
for a more complete description of risks associated with each of the investment options.

INTEL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
This document, dated December 28, 2006, constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities
that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
Intel Stock Fund Investment Option
INTRODUCTION
This Attachment B describes the Intel Stock Fund, one of the investment options available under the
Plan. Effective January 1, 2007, all contributions and assets in your account that you allocate to the
Intel Stock Fund will held in an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As an ESOP, the fund invests
entirely in Intel common stock.
Beginning November 1, 2006, your participation in the Intel Stock Fund will be limited to 20% of
your future deferrals and your ability to increase your participation in the Intel Stock Fund will
be limited to 20% of your existing account balance under the Plan (determined on the date you make
the election).
In determining whether to allocate Plan assets to the Intel Stock Fund and how much to allocate,
you should carefully consider the level of your participation in other Intel stock benefit plans
and the fact that your overall compensation is already substantially tied to Intels performance.
Other investment options available under the Plan that invest in stocks may also invest in Intel
common stock. For further information, see Attachment A and the prospectus for each investment
option.
The investment options under the Plan, including the Intel Stock Fund, each have different
investment objectives and, consequently, different elements of risk and potentials for growth.
Before deciding how to invest your money, you need to assess your own tolerance for risk in view of
your long-term plans and the length of time you expect to continue working.
Intel and the Plan service providers do not monitor your investment choices and are not responsible
if those choices result in losses. The Plan is intended to operate as an ERISA Section 404(c) plan.
The Plan offers participants and beneficiaries the opportunity to exercise control over the assets
contributed and accumulated on their behalf by allowing them to choose the manner in which these
assets will be invested from a broad range of investment alternatives. This means that you or
beneficiaries may not hold Intel, the Plans service providers or any of their respective employees
or agents liable as plan fiduciaries for any losses sustained in your account that are the result
of your exercise of control over how your contributions are to be invested. In other words, you
bear the risk of the performance of your directed investments, even if that performance is poor.
Plan fiduciaries will not provide advice as to how you manage your investments in your account
under the Plan. Accordingly, for advice on how the assets in your account should be invested, you
should consult an investment advisor.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INTEL STOCK FUND
A description of the Intel Stock Fund follows. If you have any questions regarding the Intel Stock
Fund, call the SERP Service Center at (888) 401-SERP.
VRS code: 94588 Ticker: N/A
What it is: A company stock fund (not a mutual fund).
Goal: As a fund that is not actively managed, it tracks (but does not match) the performance of
investing in Intel common stock.
What it invests in: The value of your investment will vary depending on the performance of the
company and the overall stock market. Investing in a non-diversified single stock fund involves
more investment risk than investing in a diversified fund. From time-to-time the fund may hold a
small percentage of its assets in the form of cash.
Who might want to invest in it:
|
|
|
Someone who wants to own part of Intel and share in potential changes in the value of
Intel stock over the term they have invested in the fund |
|
|
|
|
Someone who has a diversified portfolio and is not relying exclusively on this stock
for his or her investment portfolio |
The Intel Stock Fund is not a diversified investment option. Effective January 1, 2007, all
contributions and assets in your account that you allocate to the Intel Stock Fund are held in an
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As an ESOP, the fund invests entirely in Intel common stock.
Since the fund invests in only one stock, a portfolio manager does not actively manage this
investment option. Information on this investment option was provided by Intel.
Allocation of Shares. If transaction requests to purchase or sell shares for your account under
the Intel Stock Fund are received and processed prior to 4 p.m. (Eastern) on a business day, the
transactions typically will receive the weighted average purchase price or sale price on the
following business day. Otherwise, they will receive the weighted average purchase price or sale
price on the second business day after the transaction is received. Shares purchased or sold on
behalf of your account on any given day are allocated to your account on the basis of the weighted
average purchase or sale price for that day. The weighted average purchase price for any given day
is calculated by dividing the aggregate price of all purchases for the daily share accounted fund
on that day by the number of shares purchased. Similarly, the weighted average sale price on any
given day is calculated by dividing the aggregate price of all sales on behalf of the daily share
accounted fund on that day by the number of shares sold. There is currently a three-day settlement
period after the purchase or sale date for these funds. The number of shares of Intel common stock
allocated to your account will be reflected on your personal account statement. Intel reserves the
right to change, on a temporary or permanent basis, the manner in which the Intel Stock Fund is
operated.
Dividends and Stock Splits. The shares of common stock in the Intel Stock Fund do not currently
participate directly in Intels Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Prior to January 1, 2007, cash
dividends earned on the common stock in the Intel Stock Fund are used to purchase additional shares
of common stock, similar to the process followed by the administrator of Intels Dividend
Reinvestment Plan. Effective January 1, 2007, you will have a right to elect a cash payment of any
dividends paid on the shares of Intel common stock in the Intel Stock Fund held in your ESOP
sub-account. If you do not elect cash payment of such dividends, they will be automatically
reinvested in the Intel Stock Fund to purchase additional shares of common stock.
Because of the time it takes to process and settle securities transactions and to reinvest cash
dividends, changes in your account balance in the Intel Stock Fund during the days preceding or
following the ex-
SB-2
dividend date, the date on which the right to receive cash dividends, stock dividends and stock
splits vests, may affect whether additional shares are credited to your account as a result of the
dividend or stock split.
Voting Rights. You will be considered the owner of the shares of Intel common stock allocated to
your account for purposes of any matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. You will be
entitled to direct the exercise of voting and other rights with respect to shares allocated to your
account in the Intel Stock Fund. The Plans Trustee will provide you with information pertaining to
the exercise of voting and tender offer rights distributed to shareholders at the time of such
distribution.
Distributions. You may elect to take distributions from the Intel Stock Fund in shares of Intel
common stock or in cash. If you do not make a specific election, the shares of Intel common stock
will be sold and you will receive a cash distribution from the proceeds of the sale. The dollar
amount of a cash distribution will be determined based upon the number of shares in your Intel
Stock Fund account on the distribution processing date, the prevailing Intel stock prices on the
distribution processing date and the residual cash balance allocated to your Intel Stock Fund
account as of the distribution processing date, if any. Tax laws and restrictions of recipient
plans may restrict your ability to roll over shares of Intel common stock received from the Intel
Stock Fund as a distribution to another qualified savings plan. You will be responsible for any tax
consequences resulting from distributions made to you from the Intel Stock Fund.
INVESTMENT RISKS AND RETURNS
As described above, assets in the Intel Stock Fund are invested primarily in Intel common stock.
Accordingly, the return on any investment in the Intel Stock Fund will be primarily dependent upon
changes in the market price of Intel common stock and any dividends paid on the common stock. In
turn, changes in the market price of Intel common stock are substantially dependent upon the
financial performance of Intel and the markets perception of Intels potential future financial
performance. Many factors may affect Intels financial performance and the markets perception of
its potential future financial performance. In addition, as a result of the absence of
diversification in the Intel Stock Fund, it is generally a more risky investment than the other
funds available under the Plan, which are significantly more diversified. You should recognize that
any investment option, including the Intel Stock Fund, could decline in value, which could mean a
loss of value in your Plan account. Finally, in determining whether to allocate assets to the Intel
Stock Fund and how much to allocate, you should carefully consider the level of your participation
in other Intel stock benefit plans and the fact that your overall compensation is already
substantially tied to Intels performance.
The Intel Stock Fund will incur costs that will affect the overall return of the fund. Among other
potential costs, the Intel Stock Fund may be required to pay a management fee for the purchase of
the shares of Intel common stock and may be required to pay brokerage fees to the brokers who
actually buy and sell the shares on the open market. The Intel Stock Fund also will incur fees in
connection with satisfying various accounting and legal requirements. In addition, the Intel Stock
Fund may hold small amounts of cash or other short-term investments. Because of the expenses borne
by the Intel Stock Fund and the fact that it may hold assets other than Intel common stock, returns
on the Intel Stock Fund will vary from the performance of Intel common stock. Any or all of these
factors may have a substantial effect on the overall return of the Intel Stock Fund.
In considering whether to allocate Plan assets and contributions to the Intel Stock Fund, carefully
review the information in Intels periodic reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
annual reports on Form 10-K, and other reports and documents filed with the SEC, including the
matters described under the heading Risk Factors in Intels quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
annual reports on Form 10-K. Copies of these reports can be obtained from Intels Internet web site
at www.intel.com, or from the SEC at (800) SEC-0330 or www.sec.gov, or by calling Intels transfer
agent, Computershare Investor Services, at (800) 298-0146.

THE RETURNS ON THE INTEL STOCK FUND AND ON INTEL COMMON STOCK SHOWN ABOVE ARE FOR PURPOSES OF
ILLUSTRATION ONLY. BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED ON HISTORICAL DATA, THEY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED
INDICATIVE OF HOW THE INTEL STOCK FUND WOULD PERFORM IN ANY FUTURE PERIOD. THE INTEL STOCK FUND
WILL HAVE TOTAL RETURNS THAT MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE TOTAL RETURNS ON INTEL COMMON STOCK AS
A RESULT OF THE FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES WHICH THE FUND MAY BE OBLIGATED TO PAY, THE TIMING OF THE
CASH FLOWS IN AND OUT OF THE INTEL STOCK FUND, AND THE EFFECT OF THE CASH POSITION HELD BY THE
FUND. (SEE INVESTMENT RISKS AND RETURNS.) INTEL DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INTEL
STOCK FUND OR ANY OF THE OTHER PLAN INVESTMENT OPTIONS.
Insider Trading and Other Blackout Restrictions
All transactions involving Intel common stock, including all contributions into and withdrawals
from the Intel Stock Fund, and all reallocations of account balances under the Plan which will
change the account balance in the Intel Stock Fund, are potentially subject to the prohibition on
insider trading under Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, you must not trade in Intel
common stock or make any changes to your investment elections affecting the Intel Stock Fund
(including transfers into or out of the Intel Stock Fund through reallocation of account balances
among the investment options and changes in the allocation of contributions into the Intel Stock
Fund, whether directly or by changing the percentage of your compensation contributed) at any time
when you are in possession of material non-public information about Intel. In addition, if you are
or become subject to Intels stock trading window guideline, you must observe those regularly
scheduled periods in which you may not purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer an interest
in Intel stock through the Intel Stock Fund. Intels stock trading window guideline, which sets
forth a description of the trading windows, is provided to each person subject to it and its terms
are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of this prospectus supplement. Intel may
from time to time suspend the ability of participants designated by it to make any changes or
engage in any transactions affecting their Intel Stock Fund accounts, either as a result of those
participants or others possessing material nonpublic information or for other reasons.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E
of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or
incorporated herein regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, future revenues,
projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you
can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as anticipates, believes,
estimates, expects, intends, may, plans, projects, will, would, and similar
expressions or expressions of the negative of these terms. Such statements are only predictions
and, accordingly, are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Many factors could affect our actual results, and variances from our current expectations regarding
such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our
forward-looking statements. We presently consider the factors set forth below to be important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our published expectations. A
more detailed discussion of these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our results,
is contained in this prospectus supplement under the heading Risk factors and in our filings with
the SEC, including our most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC. However, management cannot predict all factors, or combinations of factors,
that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause our results to be different from our expectations include:
SB-5
|
|
We operate in intensely competitive industries that are characterized by a high percentage
of costs that are fixed or difficult to reduce in the short term, significant pricing
pressures and product demand that is highly variable and difficult to forecast. Additionally, we are transitioning to a new
microarchitecture on 65nm process technology in all major product segments, and there could be
execution issues associated with these changes, including product defects and errata along with
lower than anticipated manufacturing yields. Product roadmap projections are affected by the
timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp, product defects and errata (deviations from
published specifications), changes in the timing of qualifying products for sale and changes in
customer demand. For a variety of reasons, we may terminate product development before
completion, or delay or decide not to manufacture and sell a developed product. For example, we
may decide that the product might not be sufficiently competitive in the relevant market
segment, or for technological or marketing reasons, we may decide to offer a different product
instead. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are affected by the timing of new Intel
product introductions and the demand for and market acceptance of our products; actions taken
by Intels competitors, including product offerings, marketing programs and pricing pressures
and our response to such actions; and ability to respond quickly to technological developments
and to incorporate new features into our products; and the availability of sufficient inventory
of Intel products and related components from other suppliers to meet demand. Factors that
could cause demand to be different from our expectations include customer acceptance of Intel
and competitors products; changes in customer order patterns, including order cancellations;
changes in the level of inventory at customers; and changes in business and economic
conditions. |
|
|
|
Our gross margin percentage could vary significantly from
expectations based on changes in revenue levels; product mix and
pricing; capacity utilization; variations in inventory valuation,
including variations related to the timing of qualifying products
for sale; excess or obsolete inventory; manufacturing yields;
changes in unit costs; impairments of long-lived assets, including
manufacturing, assembly/test and intangible assets; and the timing
and execution of the manufacturing ramp and associated costs,
including start-up costs. |
|
|
|
Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation
expenses, vary depending on the level of demand for our products
and the level of revenue and profits. We are in the midst of a
structure and efficiency review which is resulting in several
actions that could have an impact on expected expense levels and
gross margin. |
|
|
|
Our results could be impacted by unexpected economic, social,
political and physical/infrastructure conditions in the countries
in which we, our customers or our suppliers operate, including
military conflict and other security risks, natural disasters,
infrastructure disruptions, health concerns and fluctuations in
currency exchange rates. |
|
|
|
Our results could be affected by adverse effects associated with
product defects and errata (deviations from published
specifications), and by litigation or regulatory matters involving
intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust and other
issues, such as the litigation and regulatory matters described in
our SEC reports. |
|
|
|
Our results could be affected by the amount, type, and valuation
of share-based awards granted as well as the amount of awards
cancelled due to employee turnover and the timing of award
exercises by employees. |
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or developments after the date of this prospectus supplement.

applicable supplemental indentures may be made by the Company

holders of debt securities of a series under the indenture or
the debt securities of such series, with the consent of the
holders of a majority (or such other amount as is provided for a
particular series of debt securities) in principal amount of the
outstanding debt securities issued under such indenture that are
affected by the supplemental indenture, voting as a single
class; provided that no such supplemental indenture may, without
the consent of the holder of each such debt security affected
thereby, among other things: (a) change the stated maturity
of the principal of, or any premium, interest or additional
amounts on, such debt securities, or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest or any additional amounts thereon, or reduce any
premium payable on redemption thereof or otherwise, or reduce
the amount of the principal of debt securities issued with
original issue discount that would be due and payable upon an
acceleration of the maturity thereof or the amount thereof
provable in bankruptcy, or change the redemption provisions or
adversely affect the right of repayment at the option of the
holder, or change the place of payment or currency in which the
principal of, or any premium, interest or additional amounts
with respect to any debt security is payable, or impair or
affect the right of any holder of debt securities to institute
suit for the payment after such payment is due, (b) reduce
the percentage of outstanding debt securities of any series, the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is
required for any waiver or reduce the quorum required for
voting; (c) modify any of the provisions of the sections of
such indenture relating to supplemental indentures with the
consent of the holders, waivers of past defaults or securities
redeemed in part, except to increase any such percentage or to
provide that certain other provisions of such indenture cannot
be modified or waived without the consent of each holder
affected thereby; or (d) make any change that adversely
affects the right to convert or exchange any security into or
for common stock or other securities, cash or other property in
accordance with the terms of the applicable debt security.
The indenture provides that a supplemental indenture that
changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the
indenture that has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of debt securities, or
that modifies the rights of the holders of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not
to affect the rights under the indenture of the holders of debt
securities of any other series.
The indenture provides that the Company and the applicable
trustee may, without the consent of the holders of any series of
debt securities issued thereunder, enter into additional
supplemental indentures for one of the following purposes:
(1) to evidence the succession of another corporation to
the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the
covenants of the Company in such indenture and in the debt
securities issued thereunder; (2) to add to the covenants
of the Company or to surrender any right or power conferred on
the Company pursuant to the indenture; (3) to establish the
form and terms of debt securities issued thereunder; (4) to
evidence and provide for a successor trustee under such
indenture with respect to one or more series of debt securities
issued thereunder or to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts under such indenture by more than
one trustee; (5) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provision in the indenture that may be
inconsistent with any other provision of the indenture or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under such indenture which shall not adversely affect
the interests of the holders of any series of debt securities
issued thereunder in any material respect; (6) to add to,
delete from or revise the conditions, limitations and
restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of
issue, authentication and delivery of securities under the
indenture, (7) to add any additional events of default with
respect to all or any series of debt securities; (8) to
supplement any of the provisions of the indenture as may be
necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge
of any
6
series of debt securities, provided that such action does not
adversely affect the interests of any holder of an outstanding
debt security of such series or any other security in any
material respect; (9) to make provisions with respect to
the conversion or exchange rights of holders of debt securities
of any series; (10) to amend or supplement any provision
contained in such indenture or any supplemental indenture,
provided that no such amendment or supplement shall materially
adversely affect the interests of the holders of any debt
securities then outstanding; or (11) to qualify such
indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
Events of Default
Unless otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement, the
following will be events of default under the indenture with
respect to each series of debt securities issued thereunder:
(a) default in the payment of principal (or premium, if
any) or any additional amounts with respect to such principal or
premium on any series of the debt securities outstanding under
the indenture when due; (b) default in the payment of any
interest or any additional amounts with respect to such interest
on any series of the debt securities outstanding under the
indenture when due, continued for 30 days; (c) default
in the payment, if any, of any sinking fund installment when and
as due by the terms of any debt security of such series, subject
to any cure period that may be specified in any debt security of
such series; (d) failure to perform any other covenant or
warranty of the Company contained in such indenture or such debt
securities continued for 90 days after written notice;
(e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company; and (f) any other event of
default provided in a supplemental indenture with respect to a
particular series of debt securities. In case an event of
default other than a default specified in clause (e) above
shall occur and be continuing with respect to any series of such
debt securities, the applicable trustee or the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt
securities of such series then outstanding (each such series
acting as a separate class) may declare the principal (or, in
the case of discounted debt securities, the amount specified in
the terms thereof) of such series to be due and payable. If an
event of default described in (e) above shall occur and be
continuing then the principal amount (or, in the case of
discounted debt securities, the amount specified in the terms
thereof) of all the debt securities outstanding shall be and
become due and payable immediately, without notice or other
action by any holder or the applicable trustee, to the full
extent permitted by law. Any event of default with respect to
particular series of debt securities under such indenture may be
waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series (voting
as a class), except in each case a failure to pay principal of
or premium, interest or additional amounts, if any, on such debt
securities or a default in respect of a covenant or provision
which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each
holder affected thereby.
The indenture provides that the applicable trustee may withhold
notice to the holders of any default with respect to any series
of debt securities (except in payment of principal of or
interest or premium on, or sinking fund payment in respect of,
the debt securities) if the applicable trustee considers it in
the interest of holders to do so.
The indenture contains a provision entitling the applicable
trustee to be indemnified by the holders before proceeding to
exercise any trust or power under such indenture at the request
of such holders. The indenture provides that the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to
the applicable trustee or of exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the applicable trustee with respect to the debt
securities of such series; provided, however, that the
applicable trustee may decline to follow any such direction if,
among other reasons, the applicable trustee determines in good
faith that the actions or proceedings as directed may not
lawfully be taken or would be unduly prejudicial to the holders
of the debt securities of such series not joining in such
direction. The right of a holder to institute a proceeding with
respect to the applicable indenture will be subject to certain
conditions precedent including, without limitation, that the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the debt securities of such series then outstanding under such
indenture make a written request upon the applicable trustee to
exercise its powers under such indenture, indemnify the
applicable trustee and afford the applicable trustee reasonable
opportunity to act, but the holder has an absolute right to
receipt of the principal of, premium, if any, and
7
interest when due on the debt securities, to require conversion
of debt securities if such indenture provides for convertibility
at the option of the holder and to institute suit for the
enforcement thereof.
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
The indenture provides that the Company may not consolidate
with, merge into or sell, convey or lease all or substantially
all of its assets to any person unless the successor person is a
corporation organized under the laws of any domestic
jurisdiction and assumes the Companys obligations on the
debt securities issued thereunder, and under such indenture, and
after giving effect thereto no event of default, and no event
that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an
event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and
that certain other conditions are met.
Certain Covenants
Existence. Except as permitted under
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of
Assets, the indenture requires the Company to do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its corporate existence, rights (by certificate
of incorporation, bylaws and statute) and franchises;
provided, however, that the Company will not be required
to preserve any right or franchise if the Company determines
that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of its business.
Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall
file with the trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year
a written notice specifying the amount of original issue
discount accrued on outstanding securities at the end of such
year and any other specific information as may then be relevant
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Additional Covenants. Any additional covenants of the
Company with respect to any series of debt securities will be
set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.
Conversion Rights
The terms and conditions, if any, upon which the debt securities
are convertible into common stock or preferred stock will be set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating thereto.
Such terms will include the conversion price (or manner of
calculation thereof), the conversion period, provisions as to
whether conversion will be at the option of the holders or the
Company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion
price and provisions affecting conversion in the event of
redemption of such debt securities and any restrictions on
conversion.
Redemption; Repurchase at the Option of the Holder; Sinking
Fund
The terms and conditions, if any, upon which (i) the debt
securities are redeemable at the option of the Company,
(ii) the holder of debt securities may cause the Company to
repurchase such debt securities or (iii) the debt
securities are subject to any sinking fund will be set forth in
the applicable prospectus supplement relating thereto.
Repurchases on the Open Market
The Company or any affiliate of the Company may at any time or
from time to time repurchase any debt security in the open
market or otherwise. Such debt securities may, at the option of
the Company or the relevant affiliate of the Company, be held,
resold or surrendered to the trustee for cancellation.
Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
The indenture provides, with respect to each series of debt
securities issued thereunder, that the Company may terminate its
obligations under such debt securities of a series and such
indenture with respect to debt securities of such series if:
(A)(i) all debt securities of such series previously
authenticated and delivered, with certain exceptions, have been
accepted by the applicable trustee for cancellation; or
(ii) the debt securities of such series have become due and
payable, or mature within one year, or all of them are to be
called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the applicable trustee for giving the notice of
redemption, (B) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust
with the applicable trustee, as trust funds solely for the
benefit of the holders of such debt securities, for that
purpose, money sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on the
debt securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the
case may be, and to pay all
8
other sums payable by it under such indenture, and (C) the
Company delivers to the applicable trustee an officers
certificate and an opinion of counsel, in each case stating that
all conditions precedent provided for in such indenture relating
to the satisfaction and discharge of such indenture with respect
to the debt securities of such series have been complied with.
With respect to the foregoing clause (i) and (ii),
certain obligations of the Company to the Trustee shall survive.
With respect to the foregoing clause (ii), the
Companys obligations to execute and deliver debt
securities of such series for authentication, to maintain an
office or agency in respect of the debt securities of such
series, to have moneys held for payment in trust, to register
the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to
deliver debt securities of such series for replacement, to pay
additional amounts, if any, in certain circumstances, and with
respect to rights of conversion or exchange, if any, shall
survive until such debt securities are no longer outstanding.
Thereafter, only the Companys obligations to compensate
and indemnify the applicable trustee and its right to recover
excess money held by the applicable trustee shall survive.
The indenture provides that the Company (i) will be deemed
to have paid and will be discharged from any and all obligations
in respect of the debt securities issued thereunder of any
series, and the provisions of such indenture will, except as
noted below, no longer be in effect with respect to the debt
securities of such series and (ii) may omit to comply with
any term, provision, covenant or condition of such indenture,
and such omission shall be deemed not to be an event of default
under clause (d) or (f) of the first paragraph of
Events of Default with respect to the
outstanding debt securities of such series; provided that the
following conditions shall have been satisfied: (A) the
Company has irrevocably deposited in trust with the applicable
trustee as trust funds solely for the benefit of the holders of
the debt securities of such series, for payment of the principal
of and interest of the debt securities of such series, money or
government obligations or a combination thereof sufficient (in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the applicable trustee) without consideration of
any reinvestment to pay and discharge the principal of and
accrued interest on the outstanding debt securities of such
series to maturity or earlier redemption (irrevocably provided
for under arrangements satisfactory to the applicable trustee),
as the case may be; (B) such deposit will not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, such
indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which
the Company is a party or by which it is bound; (C) no
default with respect to such debt securities of such series
shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit; (D) the Company shall have delivered to such
trustee an opinion of counsel as described in the indenture to
the effect that (1) the holders of the debt securities of
such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the Companys exercise
of its option under this provision of such indenture and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
deposit and defeasance had not occurred, and (2) after the
91st day after the establishment of such trust, the amounts in
such trust will not be subject to any case or proceeding in
respect of the Company under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar law; and (E) the Company has delivered to the
applicable trustee an officers certificate and an opinion
of counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in such indenture relating to the defeasance
contemplated have been complied with. Subsequent to a legal
defeasance under clause (i) above, the Companys
obligations to execute and deliver debt securities of such
series for authentication, to maintain an office or agency in
respect of the debt securities of such series, to have moneys
held for payment in trust, to register the transfer or exchange
of debt securities of such series, to deliver debt securities of
such series for replacement, to pay additional amounts, if any,
in certain circumstances, and with respect to rights of
conversion or exchange, if any, shall survive until such debt
securities are no longer outstanding.
Applicable Law
The indenture provides that the debt securities and the
indenture will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
About the Trustee
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus
supplement, Citibank, N.A. is the trustee under the indenture.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
Under Intels second restated certificate of incorporation
(the certificate of incorporation), Intel is
authorized to issue up to 10 billion shares of common
stock. The common stock is not redeemable, does not have any
conversion rights and is not subject to call. Holders of shares
of common stock have no preemptive rights to maintain their
percentage of ownership in future offerings or sales of stock of
Intel. Holders of shares of common stock have one vote per share
in all elections of directors and on all other matters submitted
to a vote of stockholders of Intel. The holders of common stock
are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as and when declared
from time to time by the board of directors of Intel out of
funds legally available therefor. Upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the affairs of Intel, the holders of common
stock will be entitled to participate equally and ratably, in
proportion to the number of shares held, in the net assets of
Intel available for distribution to holders of common stock. The
shares of common stock currently outstanding are fully paid and
nonassessable. As of January 27, 2006, there were
approximately 5,883 million shares of common stock issued
and outstanding.
Under the certificate of incorporation, Intel is authorized to
issue up to 50 million shares of preferred stock. The
preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, and the
board of directors of Intel is expressly authorized (i) to
fix the descriptions, powers, preferences, rights,
qualifications, limitations, and restrictions with respect to
any series of preferred stock and (ii) to specify the
number of shares of any series of preferred stock. As of
January 27, 2006, there were no shares of preferred stock
issued and outstanding.
Certain certificate of incorporation provisions
Intel has adopted a number of provisions in its certificate of
incorporation that might discourage certain types of
transactions that involve an actual or threatened change of
control of Intel. The provisions may make it more difficult and
time consuming to change majority control of the board of
directors and thus reduce the vulnerability of Intel to an
unsolicited offer, particularly an offer that does not
contemplate the acquisition of all of Intels outstanding
shares.
These provisions are intended to encourage persons seeking to
acquire control of Intel to initiate such an acquisition through
arms-length negotiations with Intels management and
board of directors. Additionally, such provisions provide
management with the time and information necessary to evaluate a
takeover proposal, to study alternative proposals and to help
ensure that the best transaction involving Intel is ultimately
undertaken. Nonetheless, the provisions could have the effect of
discouraging a third party from making a tender offer or
otherwise attempting to obtain control of Intel, even though
such an attempt might be beneficial to Intel and its
stockholders.
The certificate of incorporation contains a fair price provision
(the fair price provision) which requires that
mergers and certain other business combinations (business
combinations) involving Intel and persons beneficially
owning 5% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock (an
interested stockholder) either (i) meet certain
minimum price and procedural requirements, (ii) be approved
by a majority of the members of Intels board of directors
who are unaffiliated with the 5% stockholder and who were
directors before the stockholder became a 5% stockholder (the
disinterested directors) or (iii) be approved
by the holders of at least
662/3
% of the voting power of Intels outstanding voting
stock (voting stock).
10
Minimum price and procedural requirements. To consummate
a business combination based on the minimum price and procedural
requirements condition, all the following conditions must be
satisfied:
|
|
|
(a) Intels stockholders shall have the right to
receive cash for their shares if cash was paid by the interested
stockholder to acquire any shares of Intels stock, or any
interest therein, in the two years prior to the announcement of
the transaction; |
|
|
(b) The aggregate amount of the cash and the fair market
value (calculated in accordance with the fair price provision)
to be paid shall equal the higher of: (1) the highest price
per share paid by the interested stockholder in acquiring any
shares of voting stock during the five years prior to the date
of the consummation of the business combination (the
consummation date) or (2) the fair market value
per share of common stock on the date on which the interested
stockholder became an interested stockholder (the
determination date) or the consummation date
whichever is higher; |
|
|
(c) after the determination date and prior to the
consummation date (1) if Intel pays regular dividends,
Intel shall not have failed to pay dividends, reduced the annual
rate of dividends or failed to increase the rate of dividends to
reflect a reduction in the number of shares of voting stock,
unless approved by a majority of the disinterested directors;
(2) the interested stockholder shall not have acquired any
additional shares of voting stock, directly from Intel or
otherwise, in any transaction after the transaction pursuant to
which it became an interested stockholder and (3) the
interested stockholder shall not have received, at any time
after it became an interested stockholder, whether in connection
with the proposed business combination or otherwise, the benefit
of any loan or other financial assistance or tax advantage
provided by Intel (other than proportionately as a
stockholder); and |
|
|
(d) a proxy or information statement disclosing the terms
and conditions of the proposed business combination and
complying with the requirements of the proxy rules promulgated
under the Exchange Act must be mailed to all stockholders of
Intel at least 30 days before the consummation of a
business combination. The disinterested directors must be
provided in such proxy statement an opportunity to state their
views regarding the proposed business combination and to include
therewith an opinion of an independent investment banking firm
they have selected. |
662/3%
vote required to amend or repeal the fair price provision.
The certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the outstanding voting
stock to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any provisions
inconsistent with, the fair price provision.
|
|
|
No action by stockholder consent |
Intels certificate of incorporation prohibits action that
is required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of stockholders of Intel from being taken by the written
consent of stockholders without a meeting. This provision may be
altered, amended or repealed only if the holders of
662/3
% or more of voting stock vote in favor of such action.
|
|
|
Proposal to repeal certain provisions of our certificate
of incorporation |
Our proxy statement for our 2006 annual meeting contains a
stockholder proposal to remove the fair price provision from our
certificate of incorporation and to repeal the super-majority
vote provisions in our certificate of incorporation, including
those related to the fair price provision, certain amendments to
our certificate of incorporation and stockholder approval of a
compromise or arrangement between Intel and its creditors or
stockholders.
DESCRIPTION OF OTHER SECURITIES
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement a
description of any warrants, depositary shares, purchase
contracts, guarantees or units that may be offered pursuant to
this prospectus.
11
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The securities being offered by this prospectus may be sold by
us or by a selling securityholder:
|
|
|
|
|
through agents, |
|
|
|
to or through underwriters, |
|
|
|
through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal), |
|
|
|
directly by us or a selling securityholder to purchasers,
through a specific bidding or auction process or otherwise, |
|
|
|
through a combination of any such methods of sale; |
|
|
|
through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement |
The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time
in one or more transactions, including block transactions and
transactions on the Nasdaq National Market or any other
organized market where the securities may be traded. The
securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be
changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices. The consideration may be cash or another form negotiated
by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be
paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That
compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the
securities. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution
of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and
compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents
were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory
liabilities under the Securities Act.
Agents may from time to time solicit offers to purchase the
securities. If required, we will name in the applicable
prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of
the securities and set forth any compensation payable to the
agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement,
any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period
of its appointment. Any agent selling the securities covered by
this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term
is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities.
If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired
by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from
time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying
prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery
contracts or other contractual commitments. Securities may be
offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates
represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by
one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or
underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting
agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters
at the time an agreement for the sale is reached. The applicable
prospectus supplement will set forth the managing underwriter or
underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters,
with respect to a particular underwritten offering of
securities, and will set forth the terms of the transactions,
including compensation of the underwriters and dealers and the
public offering price, if applicable. The prospectus and the
applicable prospectus supplement will be used by the
underwriters to resell the securities.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we, a selling
securityholder, or an underwriter will sell the securities to
the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the
securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by
the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we
will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the
dealer and the terms of the transactions.
We or a selling securityholder may directly solicit offers to
purchase the securities and we or a selling securityholder may
make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or
others. These persons may be deemed to be underwriters within
the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of
the securities. To the extent required, the prospectus
supplement will describe the terms of any such sales, including
the terms of any bidding or auction process, if used.
12
Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under
agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification
by us against specified liabilities, including liabilities
incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to
payments they may be required to make in respect of such
liabilities. If required, the prospectus supplement will
describe the terms and conditions of such indemnification or
contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or
their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions
with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business.
Under the securities laws of some states, the securities offered
by this prospectus may be sold in those states only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
Any person participating in the distribution of common stock
registered under the registration statement that includes this
prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations,
including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the
timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by any
such person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the
ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our common
stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to our
common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of
our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to
engage in market-making activities with respect to our common
stock.
Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in
over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering
transactions and penalty bids in accordance with
Regulation M under the Exchange Act that stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered
securities. If any such activities will occur, they will be
described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We also incorporate by reference into this prospectus additional
documents that we may file with the SEC under
Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act from
the date of this prospectus to the end of the offering of the
debentures. These documents may include annual reports on
Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and
current reports on
Form 8-K, as well
as proxy statements. We are not incorporating by reference any
information furnished under items 2.02 or 7.01 (or corresponding
information furnished under item 9.01 or included as an
exhibit) in any past or future current report on
Form 8-K that we
may file with the SEC, unless otherwise specified in such
current report. Notwithstanding any statements to the contrary
in such report, we are not incorporating by reference our
current report on
Form 8-K filed
January 17, 2006 or March 3, 2006. As we announced on
March 3, 2006, Intels Business Outlook, published in
our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2005 no longer reflects our
expectations and should not be relied upon.
You may obtain copies of any of these filings through Intel as
described below, through the SEC or through the SECs
Internet website as described above. Documents incorporated by
reference are available without charge, excluding all exhibits
unless an exhibit has been specifically incorporated by
