# The U.S. government invested $8.9 billion in Intel, becoming its largest single shareholder

> Intel announced that the U.S. government will invest $8.9 billion to become its largest single shareholder, holding a 9.9% stake. This investment comes from the funding allocated by the CHIPS and Science Act and other national security projects. The U.S. government's investment is a "passive investment" and will not participate in the board of directors. The Secretary of Commerce stated that this agreement solidifies the United States' leadership position in the semiconductor field. Intel's stock price rose by 5.53% due to the news

According to Zhitong Finance APP, on Friday, Intel (INTC.US) announced that the U.S. government will invest $8.9 billion in the company, becoming its largest single shareholder.

According to the announcement, the U.S. government will purchase Intel shares at a price of $20.47 per share, holding a 9.9% stake. This investment funding comes from the previously unpaid $5.7 billion allocation from the CHIPS and Science Act, as well as $3.2 billion in grants from other U.S. national security programs.

Intel also emphasized that the U.S. government's investment is a "passive investment," meaning it will not enter the company's board of directors and will not have information disclosure rights. Additionally, the U.S. government will receive a warrant with an exercise price of $20, valid for five years, which allows it to increase its stake by an additional 5% under specific future conditions, namely if Intel holds less than 51% of its wafer foundry business shares at a certain point in the future.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo stated on social media: "This historic agreement solidifies America's leadership in the semiconductor field, which will not only promote economic growth but also ensure America's technological advantage."

Prior to this, according to FactSet data, Vanguard was Intel's largest shareholder, holding an 8.4% stake. After this transaction, the U.S. government surpasses Vanguard to become Intel's largest single investor.

Earlier that day, U.S. President Trump stated at the White House that Intel agreed to transfer 10% of its equity to the government, calling it "a great deal for Intel."

Stimulated by the news, Intel's stock price rose 5.53% on Friday, closing at $24.8. However, in after-hours trading, the stock price slightly fell by 1%.

It is worth noting that earlier this week, Intel also announced a $2 billion investment from Japan's SoftBank Group. The announcement of this investment followed media reports of Intel discussing government equity participation with the Trump administration
