Summary
Intel Corporation (INTC) filed an 8-K report on July 27, 2009, to disclose the creation of a direct financial obligation. The company successfully closed an offering of $2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% junior subordinated convertible debentures due August 1, 2039. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.98 billion, after accounting for discounts, commissions, and expenses. This strategic move provides Intel with substantial capital, the use of which is not detailed in this filing but is generally for corporate purposes.
