Intel has warned that granting the US government an equity stake could subject the company to “additional regulations, obligations or restrictions” in foreign markets and limit its ability to pursue strategic transactions that are beneficial to shareholders.
The chipmaker disclosed significant uncertainties about the government equity deal in an SEC filing on Tuesday, revealing concerns that weren’t addressed in last week’s announcement of the 10% stake by the Trump administration.
“Given the scarcity of recent US precedents for transactions such as those contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and of the US Government becoming a significant stockholder of a company like the Company, it is difficult to foresee all the potential consequences,” Intel stated in the filing.
