        <footnote id="F4">Unless earlier forfeited under the terms of the PSUs, the number of shares of Intel common stock acquired upon vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon the achievement of Intel's total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the TSR of the S&amp;P 500 IT Index over a three-year period commencing with the grant date, as further described in the Offer Letter between Intel and the reporting person dated January 13, 2021 (Offer Letter), Exhibit 10.1 to Intel's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2021.</footnote>

The number of shares of Intel common stock acquired upon any vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics, approved by the Compensation Committee of the Intel Board of Directors (Compensation Committee), during the three- and five-year performance periods following the grant date, as further described in the Offer Letter.</footnote>
