Intel Corporation has entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement with the Japanese investment giant SoftBank, which will invest $2 billion in Intel. The investment comes as both Intel and SoftBank deepen their commitment to investing in advanced technology and semiconductor innovation in the United States, the companies said in a statement.

Investment Terms and Structure

Under the terms of the agreement, SoftBank will pay USD 23 per share of Intel common stock. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, though specific details about these conditions were not disclosed in the announcement.

Strategic Vision and Leadership Statements

Masayoshi Son, Chairman and CEO of SoftBank Group, emphasized the foundational role of semiconductors across industries. "Semiconductors are the foundation of every industry. For more than 50 years, Intel has been a trusted leader in innovation. This strategic investment reflects our belief that advanced semiconductor manufacturing and supply will further expand in the United States, with Intel playing a critical role," Son stated.

SoftBank's investment in Intel builds upon its long-term vision of enabling the AI revolution by accelerating access to advanced technologies that support digital transformation, cloud computing, and next-generation infrastructure. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan expressed satisfaction with deepening the relationship between the two companies.

"We are very pleased to deepen our relationship with SoftBank, a company that's at the forefront of so many areas of emerging technology and innovation and shares our commitment to advancing US technology and manufacturing leadership. Masa and I have worked closely together for decades, and I appreciate the confidence he has placed in Intel with this investment," Tan said.

Recent Leadership Developments

The investment announcement comes amid recent developments involving Intel's leadership. In a recent message to all company employees, Tan addressed his long-standing presence in the United States, noting that the country has been his home for more than 40 years. This message came as President Donald Trump called on the head of the chipmaker to resign. Trump later met with Tan, with the President describing the meeting as "very interesting."

Trump commented on Tan's background, saying, "His success and rise is an amazing story." Following the meeting, Tan addressed the situation in his letter to employees, stating, "We are engaging with the US Administration to address the matters that have been raised and ensure they have the facts. I fully share the President's commitment to advancing U.S. national and economic security. I appreciate his leadership to advance these priorities, and I'm proud to lead a company that is so central to these goals."
