By Aditya Soni, David Shepardson, Andrea Shallal and Max A. Cherney
Washington -President Donald Trump said that on Friday, the US will take 10% of the US shares under an agreement with the struggle manufacturer, which transformed government grants into a share of the White House in an extraordinary extraordinary intervention in corporate America.
The agreement puts Trump in better conditions with the Intel CEO Lip-this tan after CEO said that CEO should resign because of CEO’s conflicts of interest. It will enable the chip manufacturer to receive a fund of about $ 10 billion to build or expand factories in the USA.
In accordance with the agreement, the US represents a discount of $ 4 from $ 8.9 billion or $ 20.47 per share, which will buy 9.9% shares in Intel or $ 24.80 on Friday.
The purchase of 433.3 million Intel shares will be held with the financing of $ 3.2 billion grants given to the safe Enclave program given to Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden, one of the unpaid grants and Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden.
Intel Stock increased roughly 1% at the extended session on Friday after being closed at a rate of 5.5% during regular operation.
A White House official said Trump met with Tan on Friday. This followed Trump’s meeting with Intel CEO on 11 August after asking Trump to resign on his ties with Chinese companies.
“He walked to want to continue his job and gave $ 10 billion for the United States. So we got 10 billion dollars.” He said.
Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick said in X that Tan “made an intel and fair and fair agreement to the American people.”
Intel Investment points to the latest unusual agreement with US companies, which allows AI Chip giant Nvidia to sell H20 chips to China in exchange for 15% of these sales.
Other recent agreements include an agreement for MP Materials, a small mining company of the Pentagon, to be the largest shareholder of the US government to allow Japan’s Nippon steel to buy the US steel of the US steel.
The extensive intervention of the federal government to institutional issues, Trump’s actions are worried critics who say that their actions constitute new institutional risk categories.
In front of the US Intel agreements, Japan’s Softbank agreed to receive a $ 2 billion in Chip Maker on Monday.
Some industrial observers still question Intel’s ability to overcome their problems.
Synovus Trust’s Senior Portfolio Manager Daniel Morgan said that Intel’s problems are beyond Softbank’s cash infusion or the government’s essential interest, and Intel’s chip choice, known as the Foundry unit, has chosen the production business.
“The Intel Foundry Unit will be difficult to increase enough capital to continue to create more factories at a reasonable rate without a state support or financially strong partner.” He said. “He needs to catch TSMC from a technological perspective to attract business,” Intel added.
Intel said the government’s share was passive ownership and did not contain a board of directors. The Government will be asked to vote for the Board of Intel when a shareholder approval is required, except for “limited exceptions”. Intel did not specify the exceptions.
The stock shares also contain a five -year orders of $ 20 in 5% of the US Intel stock that the US can use if the Intel Foundry loses control.
Federal support, Intel, the loss of the documentary work that can give more breathing to revive, but the AI market to Nvidia and the central processor for several years, the developed micro devices lost the market share, he said. He also faced difficulties in attracting customers to new factories.
In March, Tan, CEO, recorded an annual annual loss of $ 18.8 billion in 2024 – he was assigned to rotate the first loss of American disintegration since 1986. The last financial year of the company’s last financial year was 2021.
