(e) Special Equity Awards

On April 8, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Intel Corporation (“Intel”) approved the grant of special equity awards to Todd Underwood, Vice President of Finance and Director, Corporate Planning and Reporting and former interim Chief Financial Officer (“Interim CFO”).

To compensate Mr. Underwood for his role as Interim CFO while also serving as Vice President of Finance and Director, Corporate Planning and Reporting and his role in the Chief Financial Officer transition, he was granted equity awards with a target aggregate grant date value of approximately $800,000, granted in the form of approximately 50% time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 50% performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) by value. The RSUs will vest quarterly over a 3-year period from the grant date, and the PSUs will vest in January 2022 based on Intel’s earnings per share and relative total stockholder return performance during the PSUs’ three-year performance period. In the event of Mr. Underwood’s involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination for good reason, the vesting of the RSUs will be eligible for acceleration, and Mr. Underwood will be eligible to retain the unvested PSUs.

Mr. Underwood also was granted special performance-based equity awards (“Special Performance Awards”). The Special Performance Awards are designed to both align the incentive opportunities of our key leaders and our Chief Executive Officer, Robert H. Swan, to further promote stockholders’ long-term interests and retain the executives during this period of transformation. Mr. Underwood’s Special Performance Awards consist of PSUs for a target amount of 22,500 Intel shares (“Special PSUs”) and performance-based stock options to purchase 90,000 Intel shares (“Performance Options”). The maximum number of Intel shares that may be earned under the Special PSUs is 45,000. The terms of the Special Performance Awards are substantially similar to those granted to other senior leaders on March 13, 2019, as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2019; provided, however, that the threshold stock price for Mr. Underwood’s Performance Options to become exercisable is the greater of (i) 30% above Intel’s closing stock price on February 1, 2019, and (ii) 15% above Intel’s closing stock price on the grant date.

The foregoing equity grants are subject to the terms and conditions of Intel’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.
