Proxy Statement

Proxy Statement

 

Our Board of Directors solicits your proxy for the 2008 Annual Stockholders' Meeting to be held at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at the Computer History Museum, 1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, California 94043, and at any postponement or adjournment of the meeting, for the purposes set forth in "Notice of Annual Stockholders' Meeting." We made this proxy statement available to stockholders beginning on April 2, 2008.

Record Date March 24, 2008
   
Quorum Majority of shares outstanding on the record date must be present in person or by proxy
   
Shares Outstanding 5,744,608,312 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 24, 2008
   
Voting by Proxy Internet, phone, or mail
   
Voting in Person Registered holders can vote in person. Beneficial owners must obtain a proxy from their brokerage firm, bank, or other holder of record and present it to the inspector of elections with their ballot. Voting in person will replace any previous votes submitted by proxy.
   
Polls Close 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time on May 21, 2008
   
Changing Your Vote Registered holders may revoke their proxy at any time before polls close by submitting a later-dated vote in person at the annual meeting, via the Internet, by telephone, by mail, or by delivering instructions to our Corporate Secretary before the annual meeting. If you hold shares through a bank or brokerage firm, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.
   
Votes Required to Adopt
Proposals
Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on each of the 11 director nominees and one vote on each other matter. To be elected, directors must receive a majority of the votes cast (the number of shares voted "for" a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that nominee). Ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm and adoption of the stockholder proposal each require the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy.
   
Effect of Abstentions and
Broker Non-Votes
Shares not present at the meeting and shares voting "abstain" have no effect on the election of directors. For the proposal ratifying the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm and the stockholder proposal, abstentions have the same effect as a negative vote and broker non-votes (shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to vote on a matter and have not received voting instructions from their clients) have no effect.
   
Voting Instructions If you complete and submit your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your instructions. If you submit proxy voting instructions but do not direct how to vote on each item, the persons named as proxies will vote as the Board recommends on each proposal. The persons named as proxies will vote on any other matters properly presented at the annual meeting in accordance with their best judgment. We have not received notice of other matters that may be properly presented for voting at the annual meeting.
   
Voting Results We will announce preliminary results at the annual meeting. We will report final results at www.intc.com and in our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2008.
