Commitment to Corporate Responsibility 10 Read our most recent Corporate Responsibility Report at www.intel.com/responsibility We have worked to build a strong system to detect and address risks of forced and bonded labor among our suppliers, and as a co-founder of the Responsible Labor Initiative, we are helping to lead initiatives aimed at protecting and promoting the rights of vulnerable workers in the electronics supply chain. SUPPLY CHAIN RESPONSIBILITY We continued to invest in projects that put us on track to achieve our climate and renewable energy 2020 goals, and announced a new goal to restore 100% of our global water use by 2025. We also continued to advance the application of digital efficiency technologies that empower others to reduce their own environmental footprints. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY In 2017, we accelerated our 2020 goal to reach full representation of women and underrepresented minorities in our U.S. workforce by the end of 2018 and met this goal. We also made significant progress toward our 2020 goal of $1 billion annual spending with diverse suppliers. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SOCIAL IMPACT Over the last 10 years, Intel employees have donated more than 10 million hours of volunteer service. Their efforts are helping to make life better in countless ways for people in our local communities and beyond, including supporting our work to inspire and support underserved youth to acquire digital skills they will need for the jobs of the future. We set ambitious goals and make strategic investments to drive improvements in environmental sustainability, supply chain responsibility, diversity and inclusion, and social impact.

Closing the Global Pay Gap With a diverse workforce of 107,400 employees in over 50 countries, identifying and closing gender pay equity gaps is a complicated task To identify countries where gender pay gaps exist, Intel’s legal and human resources teams worked with third-party experts Upon conducting a fulsome review, Intel made compensation adjustments to close the gap in average total pay between employees of different genders or races and ethnicities, after accounting for legitimate business factors such as performance, tenure and country location Attracting, Retaining and Empowering Employees Pay analyses are only one aspect of our many programs to promote gender and ethnic equality at Intel We have adopted a comprehensive strategy to attract, retain and foster development of female and minority employees As a result, in 2018, we achieved full representation in our U.S. workforce, meaning our workforce reflects the percentage of women and underrepresented minorities available in the U.S. skilled labor market Identifying and Closing Gender Pay Equity Gaps Committed to Equitably Compensating All Employees A diverse workforce and inclusive culture are essential to our evolution and growth, and Intel’s commitment to achieving gender pay equity is central to making Intel a truly inclusive workplace. Although Intel has achieved global gender pay equity, our work in encouraging pay equity is never complete. We will continue to employ a multi-faceted approach to assessing equal pay and representation in our global workforce 2017 Announced the achievement of gender and racial pay equity for all U.S. employees 2018 Announced full representation in our U.S. workforce, two years ahead of our 2020 goal 2019 Announced the achievement of gender pay equity across our worldwide workforce 11

Stockholder Proposals Matters requiring stockholder approval should be presented to, and voted on, by all stockholders at an annual or special meeting This year we reduced the ownership threshold for stockholders to call a special meeting from 25 percent to 15 percent A stockholder (or a group of up to 20) who has held at least 3% of our stock for three years or more may nominate a director to our Board through proxy access Our robust governance practices and stockholder engagement program empowers stockholders to raise their concerns with the company and enables the company to effectively address these concerns in a transparent manner Vote AGAINST Report Concerning Gender Pay Equity – We Have Already Achieved Gender Pay Equity In 2018 we achieved full representation in our U.S. workforce, and in Jan. 2019 announced that we have achieved gender pay equity across our worldwide workforce For more than a decade, we’ve performed an annual analysis in the U.S. to ensure gender as well as race/ethnicity pay equity We have extended our approach to addressing pay gaps to include Total Compensation (base + bonus + stock) We will continue to assess and close pay gaps to maintain gender pay equity globally, as well as race/ethnicity pay equity in the U.S. Vote AGAINST Advisory Vote on Political Contributions – We Already Provide Extensive Disclosure Intel already provides significant disclosure regarding our policies, processes, and oversight of political contributions in line with current best practices advocated by a number of leading organizations Our Board provides robust oversight of political contributions; we have established comprehensive policies, a robust Board review process and regularly engage with external stakeholders on this issue An additional report would not provide our stockholders with any more meaningful information than is already provided through our existing detailed disclosure Vote AGAINST Right to Act by Written Consent – Existing Special Meeting Right is Superior 12
