Appointment of Sandra L. Rivera as Chief Executive Officer of Programmable Solutions Group


On October 3, 2023, Intel Corporation ("Intel") announced that Sandra L. Rivera will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of Programmable Solutions Group ("PSG"), an Intel standalone business, and the effective date of this transition ("Effective Date") is anticipated to occur on January 1, 2024. Ms. Rivera will continue to lead the Data Center and AI Group until a new leader is identified. 


In connection with her appointment as PSG Chief Executive Officer, Intel entered into an offer letter with Ms. Rivera (the "Offer Letter") setting forth the terms of her employment with PSG. Commencing on January 1, 2024, Ms. Rivera's annual base salary will be set at $900,000, and she will be eligible for an annual incentive cash bonus with a target amount of 150% of her base salary or $1,350,000. The Offer Letter further provides for annual long-term incentive ("LTI") equity awards with respect to PSG's equity, beginning in 2024, with an initial aggregate target value of approximately $11,250,000 (determined as set forth in the Offer Letter), comprised of approximately 60% PSG performance stock units ("PSUs") and 40% PSG time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"). These initial LTI equity awards will receive accelerated vesting in the event of Ms. Rivera's death or Disablement (as defined in the Offer Letter).


In addition, the Offer Letter provides for "staking grants" with respect to PSG's equity to be provided to Ms. Rivera with an aggregate target value of approximately $25,000,000 (determined as set forth in the Offer Letter), comprised of 80% PSUs and 20% RSUs. The Offer Letter further provides that Ms. Rivera will have the opportunity to purchase up to $5,000,000 in PSG's equity, for which she will receive an equal number of matching PSG RSUs. 


The Offer Letter also provides that in the event Ms. Rivera's employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the Offer Letter) or she voluntarily resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Offer Letter) and she signs and does not revoke a release of claims, she will be entitled to severance payments equal to one times her then-base salary and then-target bonus opportunity. In addition, in the event a Change in Control (as defined in the Offer Letter) occurs within five years of the Effective Date and her employment is terminated without Cause or she voluntarily resigns for Good Reason within one year of the Change in Control, and she signs and does not revoke a release of claims, Ms. Rivera will be entitled to (A) full acceleration of any unvested PSG RSUs referenced in the Offer Letter and (B) pro-rata vesting (determined as set forth in the Offer Letter) of the target number of any outstanding PSG PSUs referenced in the Offer Letter.
