Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) Election of New Director.

On November 13, 2019, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Intel Corporation (“Intel”) elected Mr. James (Jim) J. Goetz to the Board, effective immediately. The Board determined that Mr. Goetz qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the published listing requirements of Nasdaq. Mr. Goetz has not been appointed to any Board committees at this time.

Mr. Goetz, age 54, has served as a partner of Sequoia Capital Operations, LLC, a venture capital firm, since June 2004. Prior to joining Sequoia, Mr. Goetz co-founded VitalSigns Software, where he assembled and led the team that pioneered end-user performance management. Prior to VitalSigns, he was the Vice President of Network Management for Bay Networks. Mr. Goetz currently serves on the boards of several privately held companies, and since April 2005, on the board of Palo Alto Networks, Inc., a network security solution company. He previously served on the boards of directors of Barracuda Networks, Inc., a data security and storage company from 2009 to 2017; Nimble Storage, Inc., a data storage company, from 2007 to 2017; Jive Software, Inc., a provider of social business software, from 2007 to 2015; and Ruckus Wireless, Inc., a manufacturer of wireless (Wi-Fi) networking equipment, from 2012 to 2015. Mr. Goetz holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University.

Mr. Goetz will receive the standard compensation amounts payable to non-employee directors of the Board. Pursuant to these arrangements, commencing in November 2019, Mr. Goetz will be paid an annual cash retainer of $90,000 (in addition to any committee fees), which will be pro-rated for his first year of service. In addition, in the first quarter of 2020 (the “Grant Date”), Mr. Goetz will be granted non-employee director time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a value on the Grant Date of approximately $128,333, which is pro-rated from the value of the annual award granted to non-employee directors. The award will vest on the earlier of May 16, 2020 and the date of Intel’s 2020 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the same schedule as the annual award granted to the non-employee directors in May 2019, subject to Mr. Goetz’s continued service on the Board.

Mr. Goetz will also enter into Intel’s standard form of directors’ indemnification agreement with Intel, pursuant to which Intel agrees to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain conditions to advance expenses in connection with proceedings as described in the indemnification agreement.
