| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On April 19, 2016, Intel Corporation (“Intel”) issued a press release announcing the financial results of its fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2016 and forward-looking statements relating to its second quarter of 2016 and full year 2016. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
On April 19, 2016, Intel also posted financial information and commentary by Stacy J. Smith, Intel’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, for its fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2016 on its investor website, intc.com. A copy of this information and commentary is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 includes non-GAAP financial measures relating to our operations and forecasted outlook. Certain of these non-GAAP terms will be used in Intel’s Q1 2016 earnings conference. In addition, Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 include reconciliations of these GAAP to non-GAAP measures, as well as an explanation of how management uses these non-GAAP measures and the reasons why management views these measures as providing useful information for investors. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from Intel’s results should be carefully evaluated.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Report, as well as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, are furnished and shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
| Item 2.05 | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. |
On April 19, 2016, Intel announced a restructuring plan designed to align its operations with evolving business needs and improve efficiencies. The actions associated with the restructuring plan are expected to be fully completed by the second quarter of 2017. The restructuring plan is estimated to result in annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $1.4 billion once it is fully implemented.
Under the restructuring plan, Intel plans to close certain facilities and reduce up to twelve thousand positions globally, representing approximately 11% of Intel’s worldwide workforce. Intel expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $1.2 billion, substantially all of which are related to employee severance and benefits. Intel expects to recognize these charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and expects substantially all the charges to entail cash expenditures.
Item 2.05 of this Report (“Item 2.05”) contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are identified by words such as “plans,” “expects,” “may,” “believes,” “estimates” or “estimated, “intends,” and other similar words, expressions, and formulations. Item 2.05 contains forward-looking statements regarding the timing and scope of the restructuring plan; the size of the restructuring plan and the amount and timing of the related charges; and the expected cost savings resulting from the restructuring plan. Many factors could affect the actual results of the restructuring plan, and variances from Intel's current expectations regarding such factors could cause actual results of the restructuring plan to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Intel presently considers the following to be a non-exclusive list of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations: the timing and execution of plans and programs that may be subject to local labor law requirements, including consultation with appropriate works councils; assumptions related to severance, post-retirement costs, and relocation costs; future acquisitions, dispositions, or investments; new business initiatives and changes in product roadmap, development, and manufacturing; and/or assumptions related to cost savings, product demand and operating efficiencies. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause Intel’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is included in the documents that Intel files with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report, and Intel does not undertake any obligation to revise or update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

From 2006 to 2007, Mr. Smith was Vice President and Assistant CFO. From 2004 to 2006, he served as Vice President, Finance and Enterprise Services, and Chief Information Officer.
