Intel Corporation today announced an agreement with the Trump Administration to support the continued expansion of American technology and manufacturing leadership. Under terms of the agreement, the United States government will make an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, reflecting the confidence the Administration has in Intel to advance key national priorities and the critically important role the company plays in expanding the domestic semiconductor industry.
The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program. Intel will continue to deliver on its Secure Enclave obligations and reaffirmed its commitment to delivering trusted and secure semiconductors to the U.S. Department of Defense. The $8.9 billion investment is in addition to the $2.2 billion in CHIPS grants Intel has received to date, making for a total investment of $11.1 billion.
Bro, you can't just announce a thing for it to be true. This would require at the least issuing shares or a transfer of existing shares from shareholders. That take's months. Well, it does to do it legally. I'd like to know what the largest shareholders think of the government annexing their money right out from under them.
Don't worry, the shares will come from the retirement saving of people like you and me. Trumps golf buddies will be fine.
I'm just saying, it's either a full-on lie or there's a shitstorm going on in multiple boardrooms right now.
