Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed March 28, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Intel Corporation (INTC) has officially completed the second and final closing of its previously announced divestiture of its NAND memory technology and manufacturing business to SK hynix Inc. This transaction, initially announced in October 2020, was structured in two closings, with the first involving the NAND solid-state drive business and the Dalian fabrication facility occurring in December 2021.
The second closing, which concluded on March 27, 2025, finalizes the sale of Intel's NAND memory technology and manufacturing operations. The company received approximately $1.9 billiona in net proceeds from this second closing, after accounting for certain adjustments.
This significant cash inflow provides Intel with additional financial flexibility. Furthermore, the completion of this sale terminates the NAND wafer manufacturing and sale agreement that was in place since the first closing, marking a complete separation of Intel's involvement with its NAND memory business.
