Intel announced today the pricing terms of its two related transactions to repurchase three series of its outstanding notes.

Exchange Offers

The first transaction consists of three separate private offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of the outstanding series of notes listed below under the heading Exchange Offers (collectively, the “Old Notes”) in exchange for a combination of newly issued debt securities of Intel (the “New Notes”) and cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum dated November 29, 2017 (the “Offering Memorandum” and, together with the accompanying exchange offer notice of guaranteed delivery, the “Exchange Offer Documents”). Only holders who have duly completed and returned an Eligibility Letter certifying that they are either (1) “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (2) non-“U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) located outside of the United States and non-U.S. qualified offerees (as defined in the Eligibility Letter) are authorized to receive the Offering Memorandum and to participate in the Exchange Offers (each an “Exchange Offer Eligible Holder”).

The Exchange Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017 (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Exchange Offer, the “Expiration Date”). Old Notes tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), today December 5, 2017 (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Withdrawal Date”), but not thereafter, unless extended by Intel. The “Settlement Date” with respect to an Exchange Offer will be promptly following the Expiration Date and is expected to be December 8, 2017.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum, set forth below are the applicable Exchange Offer Yield, Total Exchange Price and Cash Amount (each as defined in the Offering Memorandum) for each series of Old Notes, as calculated as of 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017 (the “Price Determination Date”), in connection with Intel’s offers to any and all Exchange Offer Eligible Holders of its outstanding Old Notes listed below to exchange such Old Notes for New Notes and cash:

(1) The Total Exchange Price is based on the fixed spread for the applicable series of Old Notes set forth in the table above plus the Reference Yield (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) for that series as of 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017.

 

(2) The cash payment is equal to the amount shown in this column per each $1,000 principal amount of such series of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) or the Guaranteed Delivery Date (as defined below) pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures and accepted for exchange (the “Cash Amount”). The Cash Amount does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes accepted for exchange, which will be payable in addition to the applicable Total Exchange Price.

 

(3) Payable in principal amount of New Notes per each $1,000 principal amount of the specified series of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for exchange.

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Documents, Exchange Offer Eligible Holders who (i) validly tender and who do not validly withdraw Old Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) deliver a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery and all other required documents at or prior to the Expiration Date and tender their Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second business day after the Expiration Date (the “Guaranteed Delivery Date”), and whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange by Intel, will receive the applicable Total Exchange Price for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes described in the table above.

In addition to the applicable Total Exchange Price, Exchange Offer Eligible Holders whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on such Old Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date. Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Old Notes accepted, including those tendered through the guaranteed delivery procedures.

The New Notes will mature on December 8, 2047 and will bear interest at a rate per annum of 3.734%.

Intel will not issue New Notes in the Exchange Offers if the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers would be less than $500 million (the “Minimum Issue Requirement”), but instead will deliver cash to holders that elect to receive cash in such circumstances (the “Cash Reversion Option”). Holders that do not make an election will be deemed to have elected to receive cash in the event the Minimum Issue Requirement is not met. Intel is not permitted to waive the Minimum Issue Requirement. When submitting a tender of Old Notes, an Exchange Offer Eligible Holder must elect, in the event the Minimum Issue Requirement with respect to the New Notes is not satisfied (and the applicable Total Exchange Price is not payable to such Exchange Offer Eligible Holder), to:

  • receive the cash consideration equal to the Total Consideration (as defined below) for the Cash Offers with respect to such Old Notes pursuant to the Cash Reversion Option described in the Offering Memorandum, or
  • have its Old Notes returned.

Intel’s obligation to accept any series of Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offers is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions applicable to the Exchange Offer for such series as described in the Offering Memorandum, including (x) the timely satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Cash Offer (as defined below) for such series of Old Notes (the “Cash Offer Completion Condition”) and (y) the pricing of the Exchange Offers resulting in specified tax treatment as set forth in the Offering Memorandum (the “Tax Condition”). The Tax Condition has been met. Intel reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Exchange Offer, except for the Cash Offer Completion Condition and the Minimum Issue Requirement.

Intel will terminate an Exchange Offer for a given series of Old Notes if it terminates the Cash Offer for such series of Old Notes. The termination of a Cash Offer for a series of Old Notes will not impact the Exchange Offers for any other series of Old Notes. Intel may terminate the Cash Offer for a given series of Old Notes if it terminates the Exchange Offer for such series of Old Notes, but it may also elect to waive the condition on the Cash Offer for a given series of Old Notes that the corresponding Exchange Offer be completed. If Intel does waive the condition for the Cash Offer for a given series of Old Notes that the corresponding Exchange Offer be completed and terminates the Exchange Offer for that series of Old Notes without terminating the corresponding Cash Offer, it will offer holders that tendered Old Notes into such terminated Exchange Offer the opportunity to tender into the Cash Offer instead, including by extending the applicable Cash Offer if required by law. If Intel extends any Cash Offer for a series of Old Notes for any reason, it will extend the corresponding Exchange Offer for such series of Old Notes, unless such Exchange Offer has been terminated in accordance with the preceding sentence.

If and when issued, the New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Intel will enter into a registration rights agreement with the dealer managers for the Exchange Offer with respect to the New Notes.

Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as the Information Agent and the Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offers. Questions or requests for assistance related to the Exchange Offers or for additional copies of the Exchange Offer Documents may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (866) 470-3800 (toll free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect). You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offers. Exchange Offer Eligible Holders can access the Exchange Offer Documents by completing the Eligibility Letter available through the following link http://gbsc-usa.com/eligibility/intel.

Cash Offers

The second transaction consists of three separate offers to purchase for cash (the “Cash Offers”) any and all of each series of Old Notes, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 29, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase” and, together with the accompanying cash offer notice of guaranteed delivery, the “Cash Offer Documents,” collectively with the Exchange Offer Documents, the “Offer Documents”). Exchange Offer Eligible Holders are permitted to participate in either the Exchange Offers or the Cash Offers with respect to any particular Old Note (subject to authorized denominations requirements), provided that any particular Old Note may be tendered either in the Exchange Offers or the Cash Offers, but not both.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, set forth below is the applicable Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for each series of Old Notes, as calculated at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017 (the “Pricing Determination Date”), in connection with Intel’s offer to any and all holders of its outstanding Old Notes listed below to purchase such Old Notes for cash:

(1) Payable in cash per each $1,000 principal amount of the specified series of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date or the Guaranteed Delivery Date (as defined below) pursuant to the guaranteed delivery Procedures and accepted for purchase.

 

(2) Total Consideration is based on the fixed spread for the applicable series of Old Notes plus the Reference Yield of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security for that series as of 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017. The Total Consideration excludes accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes accepted for purchase.

 

The Cash Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017 (such date and time with respect to a Cash Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Cash Offer, the “Expiration Date”). Old Notes tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today, December 5, 2017 (such date and time with respect to a Cash Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Cash Offer, the “Withdrawal Date”), but not thereafter, unless extended by Intel. The “Settlement Date” with respect to a Cash Offer will be promptly following the Expiration Date and is expected to be December 8, 2017.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Documents, Holders who (i) validly tender and who do not validly withdraw Old Notes pursuant to the Cash Offers at or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) deliver a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documents at or prior to the Expiration Date and tender their Old Notes pursuant to the Cash Offers at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second business day after the Expiration Date (the “Guaranteed Delivery Date”), and whose Old Notes are accepted for purchase by us, will receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below) for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes, which will be payable in cash.

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders whose Old Notes are accepted for tender will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on such Old Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date. Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Old Notes accepted, including those tendered through the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Intel’s obligation to accept Old Notes tendered in the Cash Offers is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase including the timely satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Exchange Offer for such series of Old Notes (with respect to each Cash Offer, the “Exchange Offer Completion Condition”). Intel reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Cash Offer.

Intel may terminate the Cash Offer for a given series of Old Notes if Intel terminates the Exchange Offer for such series of Old Notes, but Intel may also elect to waive the Exchange Offer Completion Condition for a given series of Old Notes. If Intel waives the Exchange Offer Completion Condition for a given series of Old Notes and terminates the Exchange Offer for that series of Old Notes without terminating the corresponding Cash Offer, Intel will offer holders that tendered Old Notes into such terminated Exchange Offer the opportunity to tender into the Cash Offer instead, including by extending the applicable Cash Offer if required by law. Intel will terminate the Exchange Offer for a given series of Old Notes if it terminates the Cash Offer for such series of Old Notes. The termination of an Exchange Offer for a series of Old Notes will not impact the Cash Offers for any other series of Old Notes.

Global Bondholder Services Corporation is also acting as the Information Agent and the Tender Agent for the Cash Offers. Questions or requests for assistance related to the Cash Offers or for additional copies of the Cash Offer Documents may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (866) 470-3800 (toll free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect).

Intel refers to the Exchange Offers and the Cash Offers, collectively, as the “Offers.”

If Intel terminates any Offer with respect to one or more series of Old Notes, it will give prompt notice to the Tender Agent or Exchange Agent, as applicable, and all Old Notes tendered pursuant to such terminated Offer will be returned promptly to the tendering holders thereof. With effect from such termination, any Old Notes blocked in DTC will be released.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Old Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke its instruction to participate in, the Exchange Offers or Cash Offers, as applicable, before the deadlines specified herein and in the Exchange Offer Documents or the Cash Offer Documents, as applicable. The deadlines set by each clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Exchange Offer Documents or the Cash Offer Documents, as applicable.

This announcement is for informational purposes only. This announcement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any Old Notes. The Exchange Offers are being made solely pursuant to the Offering Memorandum and related documents and the Cash Offers are being made solely pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and related documents. The Offers are not being made to holders of Old Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the securities laws or blue sky laws require the Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offers will be deemed to be made on behalf of Intel by the dealer managers or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
