The Retirement Plans Administrative Committee

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Intel 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Intel 401(k) Savings Plan at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2015, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Intel 401(k) Savings Plan’s financial statements. The information in the supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2015

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Intel 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the summary plan description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The plan document contains the definitive legal provisions governing the Plan.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible United States (U.S.) employees of Intel Corporation (the Company or Plan sponsor). Eligible employees may participate in the Plan at any time on or after their date of hire. All employees who become eligible to participate are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they choose a different deferral rate or make an affirmative election not to participate. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011 but prior to January 1, 2013 shall be deemed to have elected pre-tax deferrals in an amount equal to 3% of compensation with this amount increasing by 1% each April 1 of each successive plan year to a maximum of 10% of compensation, as defined. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 shall be deemed to have elected pre-tax deferrals in an amount equal to 6% of compensation with this amount increasing by 2% each April 1 of each successive plan year to a maximum of 16% of compensation, as defined. Deferrals for participants who are automatically enrolled are deposited in the appropriate Target Date Fund, which invests in varying percentages of master trust investment accounts based on the participants' ages. Employee deferrals are subject to the limitations as set forth in the plan document.

As of January 1, 2011 (the effective date), the Company closed the Intel Minimum Pension Plan (the Intel Pension Plan) and the Intel Retirement Contribution Plan (the Intel Contribution Plan) to employees hired on or after the effective date. Employees hired on or after the effective date will receive an annual contribution, the Discretionary Intel Contribution, in their 401(k) Savings Plan Discretionary Intel Contribution Account.

The Company received a favorable private letter ruling for the Intel Pension Plan from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in October 2014. As of January 1, 2015, the Company froze future benefit accruals in the Intel Pension Plan to all employees at or above a specific grade level, and generally covering all highly compensated employees in the Intel Pension Plan. Starting in 2016, the impacted employees have been receiving discretionary employer contributions in the Plan, instead of the Intel Contribution Plan.

Since 2011, McAfee, Inc. (McAfee) has been a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company. Effective July 1, 2015, in conjunction with the integration of McAfee and the Company's operations and the termination of the McAfee Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the McAfee Plan), McAfee employees who became employed by Intel and its subsidiaries became eligible to enroll in the Plan and the net assets of the McAfee Plan of approximately $339,424,000 were transfered into the Plan. This transfer consisted of approximately $334,909,000 in cash and approximately $4,515,000 in notes receivable

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

from participants, which has been reported as transfer in from the McAfee Tax Deferred Savings Plan on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

In conjunction with the overall integration of McAfee into the Company, some McAfee employees have become employed by a new legal entity, Intel Security Public Sector LLC, which became a participating company in the Plan, effective July 1, 2015.

The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as amended, and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

Trustee

State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is the trustee for the Plan and the Intel Corporation Retirement Plans Master Trust (the Master Trust) and held substantially all of the investments of the Plan and the Master Trust directly or through a sub-trust for which Fidelity Management Trust Company is the sub-trustee.

Administration of the Plan

The Company’s Finance Committee appoints the members of the Retirement Plans Administrative Committee (RPAC) and the Investment Policy Committee (IPC). The RPAC is the fiduciary responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan. The IPC is the fiduciary responsible for management and control of the Plan assets. Fidelity Workspace Services LLC (Fidelity) is the Plan’s record keeper.

Contributions and Participant Accounts

Participant Contributions

Participants may make pretax deferrals, after-tax Roth 401(k) deferrals, or a combination of both, up to 50% of their annual eligible compensation, provided the amounts do not exceed the annual IRS limits. Such deferrals are withheld by the Company from each participant’s compensation and deposited in the appropriate investment option in accordance with the participant’s directives. Participants who are 50 years of age or older by the end of a particular plan year are eligible to defer an additional portion of their annual compensation as catch-up deferrals, up to the annual IRS limit. Participants can elect to invest in any combination of the available investment options offered under the Plan, in addition to mutual funds and exchange-traded funds available through a self-directed brokerage account. However, participants may not elect to invest more than 20% of their account in the Intel Stock Fund. Participants may change their investment elections daily.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Company Contributions

For eligible participants, the Plan provides for the Company, at its discretion, to make an annual contribution to their Discretionary Intel Contribution Account, subject to certain limitations of the Code. Amounts to be contributed are determined by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company under delegation from the Board of Directors, pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

Generally, only eligible participants employed by the Company on the last day of the plan year and who have completed one year of service as defined by the plan document are eligible to receive the Company contribution, except in the event of death, job elimination, divestiture, total and permanent disability, or attainment of the normal or early retirement date occurring during the plan year. Participants have authority over the investment allocation of Company contributions.

Participant Accounts

Separate accounts are maintained for each participant. The account balances are generally adjusted as follows:


•	Biweekly or semimonthly for participant deferrals.


•	Daily for a pro rata share of investment income or losses on the Plan’s investments based on the ratio that each participant’s account bears to the total of all such accounts.

•

Annual discretionary employer contributions to the Discretionary Intel Contribution Account are allocated at the end of each calendar year in the ratio that each participant’s adjusted compensation for the plan year bears to the total adjusted compensation of all participants eligible for a contribution for that plan year. The adjusted compensation of a participant equals the participant’s current year eligible compensation, as defined in the plan document.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

Under the terms of the Plan, the Intel Stock Fund is an ESOP in accordance with Code Section 4975(e)(7). As such, participants will have the option to receive dividends on their shares of stock held in the Intel Stock Fund distributed in cash or reinvested within the Intel Stock Fund.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Vesting

Participants are immediately 100% vested with respect to employee deferrals and related earnings.

Participants vest in the discretionary employer contributions to their Discretionary Intel Contribution Account and related earnings according to the following schedule:



Years of Service	Vesting

Fewer than 2	0	%
2 but less than 3	20
3 but less than 4	40
4 but less than 5	60
5 but less than 6	80
6 or more	100

The value of each participant’s account becomes 100% vested when the participant reaches age 60, upon death, or upon total and permanent disability while actively employed. In addition, the value of each participant’s account may also become 100% vested upon job elimination or upon termination of employment due to a divestiture. For participants who withdrew from the Plan during 2015, unvested account balances of approximately $1,300,000 were forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company considered these forfeited amounts in determining its contribution for 2015.

Payment of Benefits

Participants are eligible for a distribution of plan benefits upon termination of service, whether by disability, retirement, death or leaving the Company. In the event of financial hardship (as defined by the Plan), participants may withdraw money from the employee contribution portion of their plan accounts while they are still employed. Upon termination of service, a participant or applicable beneficiary may elect to have benefits paid in a single lump-sum distribution, monthly annuity payments (only pre-tax sources), partial distribution (not available to beneficiaries), or may request that the Plan make a direct rollover distribution to another eligible retirement plan.

Participants who elect monthly annuity payments will have the balance of their account transferred to the Intel Pension Plan. An annuity is paid to those participants based on the value of their plan account in accordance with the terms of the two plans. There were transfers under this option of $1,728,875 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Active participants are permitted to obtain loans of up to 50% of their vested account balance in the Plan up to a maximum of $50,000 when combined with all other loans from this Plan and the

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Intel Contribution Plan. No more than two loans may be outstanding at any time. Participants’ account balances secure their loans. The interest rate on these loans is based on the prime rate plus 1% as reported by Reuters on the last business day of each month. Loan provisions are established by the RPAC and administered by the record keeper.

Participants may choose to obtain loans from this Plan, the Intel Contribution Plan or a combination of both. Repayments of loans are transferred to the participants’ Plan and Intel Contribution Plan accounts in the ratio in which their accounts provided funding for the loan. Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants on the statements of net assets available for benefits and are valued at their unpaid principal balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The interest earned on these loans is included with interest and dividend income on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Administrative Expenses

All administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

A portion of the investments of the Plan is held in the Master Trust, which consists of the assets of the Plan, the Intel Contribution Plan, and the Intel Pension Plan. The Master Trust includes multiple master trust investment accounts, in which different combinations of the above-mentioned plans invest.

In May 2015, the Plan added a new master trust investment account, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). Additionally, part of the Global Bond Fund was spun off to form the Opportunistic Bond Fund and part of the International Stock Fund was spun off to form the Global Equity Fund. Part of the Hedge Fund was spun off to form the Growth Oriented Hedge Fund and the remaining portion of the Hedge Fund was renamed the Defensive Oriented Hedge Fund. Finally, the Commodities Fund was renamed the Diversified Real Assets Fund. Prior to May 2015, the Plan participated in all nine master trust investment accounts, which were the U.S. Large Cap Stock Fund, the International Stock Fund, the Global Bond Fund, the U.S. Small Cap Stock Fund, the Stable Value Fund, the Alternative Investments Fund, the Hedge Fund, the Commodities Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. Each participating plan shares in the assets and earnings of the master trust investment accounts based on its respective interest in each master trust investment account. See Note 3, "Investments," for the details of the investments held and investment income of the master trust investment accounts. The investments and activities of each master trust investment

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

account are specified; however, not all of the master trust investment accounts will engage in all of the investments or activities described.

Investments held in the Master Trust and the Plan are stated at fair value, except for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which are presented at contract value. See Note 4, "Fair Value," for discussion on fair value measurements. Within the Stable Value Fund, the Plan holds investment contracts. See Note 5, "Investment Contracts" for discussion on valuation of the investment contracts.

The fair value of corporate stock, preferred stock, and exchange traded funds are determined using the last reported sales price as of the valuation date. Mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices in an active market. Participation units in common collective trust funds are valued using net asset value per unit, based upon the fair value of the underlying investments. There are no future commitments on any of the common collective trust funds. Marketable and non-marketable limited partnerships and corporations are valued based on the net asset value per share, without further adjustment.

The fair value of certain bonds are valued at the closing price reported in an active market in which the individual security is traded. Other bonds are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. When quoted prices are not available for identical or similar bonds, the bond is valued under a discounted cash flows approach that maximize observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments, but includes adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable, such as credit and liquidity risks.

Other assets are investments in gold bullion and commercial paper. The fair value of the gold bullion is valued at the closing price reported in an active market in which the gold bullion is traded. The commercial paper has a maturity of 109 days and it is reported at face value.

Some of the investment funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a repurchase agreement, the investment funds take possession of an underlying fixed-income debt instrument (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the investment funds to resell, the fixed-income debt instrument at an agreed-upon price and date in the future. Fixed-income debt instruments purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as assets and the obligations to resell as liabilities. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the investment funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

Some of the investment funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the investment funds to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When purchasing a security, the investment funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. The investment funds may dispose of, or renegotiate delivery of, the security after entering into the transaction and may sell the security before it is delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When the investment

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

funds have sold a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the investment funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

Some of the investment funds may enter into short-sale transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which an investment fund sells securities it borrows in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities and subsequently repurchases the securities. Securities sold in short-sale transactions are reflected as a liability. The investment funds are obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the date the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

Income Recognition

Net investment loss from participation in master trust investment accounts consists of the gain (loss) realized on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments, interest, dividends, and administrative fees.

Net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes the net realized gain (loss) on investments sold during the year and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the year on investments held at the end of the year.

Investment transactions are recognized as of their trade dates. Interest is accrued daily; dividends are accrued on the ex-dividend date.

Benefit Payments

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Contributions

Participant contributions and deferrals are accrued when withheld from the participants' salary. Company contributions are accrued in the period in which they become obligations of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the plan document.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Accounting Changes

In 2015, the Plan adopted a new standard that requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be measured, presented, and disclosed at contract value and that simplifies plan investment disclosures; and adopted another new standard that requires the investments for which fair value is

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

measured at net asset value (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient no longer be categorized in the fair value hierarchy table. The Plan has early adopted these new standards for the year ended December 31, 2015. These new standards have been applied retrospectively but did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the Plan’s statements of net assets available for benefits or statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as previously reported.

3. Investments

The Plan held investments in its own trust and through participation in the master trust investment accounts within the Master Trust.

Master Trust Investments

The Plan's percentage interest in each of the master trust investment accounts within the Master Trust are as follows:



	December 31
	2015		2014

U.S. Large Cap Stock Fund	60.7	%	51.0	%
International Stock Fund	52.5		44.1

4. Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Plan and master trust investment accounts consider the principal or most advantageous market in which the Plan and master trust investment accounts would transact, and the Plan and master trust investment accounts also consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:


•	Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or model-derived valuations, such as a discounted cash flow model, in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

Non-binding market consensus prices are based on proprietary valuation models of pricing providers or brokers. These valuation models incorporate a number of inputs, including non-binding and binding broker quotes; observable market prices for identical or similar securities; and the internal assumptions of pricing providers or brokers that use observable market inputs and unobservable market inputs that are not considered significant. The discounted cash flow model uses observable market inputs, such as LIBOR-based yield curves, currency spot and forward rates, and credit ratings, and can generally be corroborated by market data.


•	Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that were unable to be corroborated with observable market data.

The quantitative unobservable inputs for these investments are not readily available and fair value measurements are based on third-party pricing information without adjustment. As the Company does not have quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes of such inputs, or the impacts of any interrelationships between those inputs and other unobservable inputs used in the related fair value measurements. On an annual basis, the Company obtains and reviews pricing policy statements from third-

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

party pricing providers. Based on this review the Company has concluded that these fair value measurements are developed in accordance with GAAP.

Total investments at net asset value	$	6,938,353,718	$	7,210,424,383


(a)	The funds invest in short-term and long-term government, mortgage and corporate bonds. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily to monthly settlement with notice period of 0-10 days.


(b)	The funds seek to provide exposure to developed stocks outside the U.S., as represented by the MSCI All Country World Index, excluding the U.S. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily settlement with notice period of 0-5 days.


(c)	The funds seek to provide exposure to emerging market stocks outside the U.S., as represented by the MSCI EM Index, Lazard Emerging Markets Collective Trust Fund, and BlackRock MSCI Emerging Market Fund. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily settlement with notice period of 0-5 days.


(d)	The funds seek to match or exceed the performance of the Russell 1000 Index. The Russell 1000 Index focuses on the large- and mid-capitalization segment of the market, with approximately 90% coverage of U.S. stocks. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily settlement with notice period of 0-3 days.


(e)	The funds seek to match or exceed the performance of the Russell 2000 Index and Russell Mid-Cap Value Index, a free float-adjusted market capitalization index representing 2,000 small company stocks of U.S.-domiciled companies. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily settlement with notice period of 0-3 days.


(f)	The fund seeks to match the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, which is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily to monthly settlement with notice period of 0-35 days.

(g)

Marketable limited partnerships and corporations include absolute return hedge funds that typically take positions in primarily publicly traded securities and derivatives. The funds generally attempt to utilize trading strategies such as relative value, event driven and directional. The relative value strategy seeks return by capitalizing on perceived mis-pricing of related securities or financial instruments, and generally avoids taking a directional bias with regard to price movement of securities and markets overall. Event-driven strategy focuses on identifying and analyzing securities that can benefit from the occurrence of an extraordinary transaction or event (e.g., restructuring, takeovers, mergers, spin-offs, bankruptcy). Directional strategy takes a bias based on price movement of securities and markets. Marketable limited partnerships and corporations also include long/short equity hedge funds that typically take both long and short positions in primarily publicly traded securities. Portfolios are built based on positive and negative views on equities. These hedge funds typically will include global exposure, which includes emerging markets. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to monthly to biennial settlement with notice period of 2-90 days.

(h)

Marketable limited partnerships and corporations also include the diversified real assets funds. The diversified real assets funds category seeks to match the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, and the Standard & Poor's Goldman Sachs Commodity Index, which are composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to daily to monthly settlement with notice period of 1-35 days.


(i)	Marketable limited partnerships and corporations also include emerging market equity funds. The equity funds seek to outperform the MSCI Emerging Market Index and Russell Small Cap EM + Frontier Index, which are composed of exchange-traded equity securities. These funds have redemption restrictions limited to monthly settlement with notice period of 7-30 days.

(j) Includes private real estate, energy and natural resources, credit, and equity and venture capital funds. The private real estate funds seek out value added and opportunistic real estate investments in non-publicly traded securities. The private energy and natural resource funds seek out private investments in non-publicly traded securities that focus on areas such as hydrocarbon reserves, infrastructure, timber, mining or minerals. The private equity and venture capital funds seek out private investments in nonpublicly traded securities that include venture capital funding of exceptional growth potential enterprises, and special situations such as distressed, opportunistic, or secondary market positions. The private credit funds seek out investments in opportunistic credit, special and distressed situations. These funds typically will include global exposure, which includes emerging markets. These are closed-end funds, which are not eligible for redemption until a date in the future that currently cannot be determined. The liquidation of these investments is likely to occur at different times over the next 10 years. Redemptions occur at net asset value. Future commitments of these funds total $878,369,922.

5. Investment Contracts

The Stable Value Fund holds investment contracts with insurance companies and banks to provide participants with a stable return on investment and protection of principal from changes in market interest rates. BNY Mellon has discretionary authority for the purchase and sale of investments in the Stable Value Fund, subject to the general investment policies of the IPC. The Stable Value Fund is allocated to the Plan and the Intel Contribution Plan based on each plan's proportionate share of the underlying assets.

The investment contracts within the Stable Value Fund meet the fully benefit-responsive investment contract criteria and therefore are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents the cost plus contributions made under the contracts plus interest at the contract rates, less withdrawals and administrative expenses.

These investment contracts comprise traditional guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and synthetic GICs. The key difference between a synthetic investment contract and a traditional investment contract is that the Plan owns the underlying assets of the synthetic investment contract. A synthetic investment contract includes a wrapper contract, which is an agreement for the wrap issuer, such as a bank or insurance company, to make payments to the Plan in certain circumstances. The wrapper contract typically includes certain conditions and limitations on the underlying assets owned by the Plan. With traditional investment contracts, the Plan owns only the contract itself. Synthetic and traditional investment contracts are designed to accrue interest based on crediting rates established by the contract issuers.

The synthetic investment contracts held by the Plan include wrapper contracts that provide a guarantee that the credit rate will not fall below zero (0%) percent. Cash flow volatility (for example, timing of benefit payments), as well as asset underperformance can be passed through to the Plan through adjustments to future contract crediting rates. Formulas are provided in each contract that adjusts renewal crediting rates to recognize the difference between the fair value and the book value of the underlying assets. Crediting rates are generally reviewed quarterly for resetting.

The traditional investment contract held by the Plan is a guaranteed investment contract. The contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and interest at a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. The contract cannot be terminated before the scheduled maturity date.

The Plan’s ability to receive amounts due in accordance with fully benefit-responsive investment contracts is dependent on the third-party issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The issuer’s ability to meet its contractual obligations may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Certain events may limit the ability of the Stable Value Fund to transact at contract value with the issuers. Such events include the following:


•	Default of a wrap provider


•	Default of an underlying bond issuer with material impact on the fund


•	Employer-initiated events that are within the control of the Plan sponsor that would have a material and adverse impact on the fund


•	Employer communications designed to induce participants to transfer from the fund


•	Competing fund transfer or violation of equity wash or equivalent rules in place


•	Changes in the qualification status of the employer or the plans participating in the fund

If any such event occurs, market value would likely be used in determining the payouts to the participants. The Plan sponsor believes that the occurrence of any of the above mentioned events are not probable.

In general, issuers may terminate the contract and settle at other-than-contract value if there is a change in the qualification status of the employer or the Plan, if there is a breach of material obligations under the contract and misrepresentations by the contract holder, if the market and book values diverge dramatically, or if there is a failure of the underlying portfolio to conform to the pre-established investment guidelines.

6. Party-In-Interest Transactions

Transactions in shares of the Company’s common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions under the provisions of ERISA. During 2015, the Plan made purchases of the Company’s common stock of $19,041,625 and sales and distributions totaling $34,819,740. In addition, the Plan holds investments in mutual funds managed by affiliates of Fidelity, the Plan’s record keeper, which also qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Plan held $824,586,948 and $718,321,389, respectively, of investments managed by affiliates of Fidelity.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Plan does not directly hold any derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments. Effective May 2015, the Plan holds derivative financial instruments through its investments in the Global Bond Fund, the Opportunistic Bond Fund, the Global Equity Fund, and the International Stock Fund. Prior to May 2015, the Plan held derivatives through its investments in the Global Bond Fund and the International Stock Fund. These master trust investment accounts, in the corresponding periods, consist of separately managed accounts. The investment managers of these accounts may use derivatives, consistent with the objective of the account, to hedge a portion of the investments to limit or minimize exposure to certain risks and to gain access to markets more efficiently. The investment managers do not employ leverage in the use of derivatives. The investment managers may also enter into master-netting arrangements. See Note 9, "Master-Netting Arrangements" for discussion on the master-netting arrangements.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Collateral is secured against derivative instruments whenever deemed necessary. Cash collateral received is recorded as cash with a corresponding liability in the net assets available for benefits of the applicable master trust investment account, and cash collateral paid is included with other receivables. Collateral received in the form of securities is not recorded as an asset or liability as the collateral cannot be repledged. Securities pledged as collateral continue to be recorded as assets in the net assets available for benefits of the applicable master trust investment account.

Cash and non-cash collateral posted under such agreements at the end of each period were as follows:



	December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Opportunistic Bond Fund				Global Bond Fund
	Asset		Liability		Asset		Liability

Cash Collateral	$	3,608,255	$	2,443,000	$	7,140,000	$	—
Non-Cash Collateral	—		4,928,000		5,464,345		—

There was no derivative collateral in the International Stock Fund as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 or in the Global Equity Fund as of December 31, 2015.

Currency Forward Contracts

Currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge a portion of the currency exposure for investments that are denominated in foreign currencies. Currency forward contracts are generally marked-to-market at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies, with the difference between contract value and market value recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the currency forward contract is closed, the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is transferred to a realized gain (loss) equal to the change in the value of the currency forward contract from when it was opened to the value at the time it was closed. Sales and purchases of currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset, and any gain (loss) is realized on that date. At the end of the year, open currency forward contracts are recorded as a derivative asset if the market value of the contract has appreciated or as a derivative liability if depreciated.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into a currency forward contract from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The investment managers seek to control this risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of potential counterparties and establishing credit limits. Additionally, when utilizing currency forward contracts, the investment managers give up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a contractual agreement to deliver or receive a commodity or financial instrument at a specific date in the future at an agreed-upon price. The investment managers use fixed-income futures contracts to manage exposure to the market. Buying futures typically increases the exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures typically decreases the exposure to the underlying instrument held, or hedges the fair value of the other investments.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a deposit either in cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the nominal value of the contract is required. Pursuant to the futures contract, there is an agreement to receive from, or to pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments, known as “variation margin,” are generally settled daily and are included in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. Each separately managed account maintains its own variation margin accounts, and there is a separate variation margin account for each exchange used in the separately managed account. At the end of the year, the net amount of the variation margin accounts is recorded as a derivative asset if it has a positive balance or as a derivative liability if it has a negative balance.

Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, credit and market risks. The futures contracts entered into are exchange-traded where the broker acts as the clearinghouse for, and counterparty to, the transactions. Thus, credit risk on such transactions is mitigated by having an exchange that regulates margin requirements for futures contracts and capital requirements for clearinghouses, and by the ability of clearinghouses to net customer trades. The daily settlement process on the futures contracts serves to greatly reduce credit risk. Losses in value may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts. In addition, there is the risk that there may not be an exact correlation between a futures contract and the underlying index, commodity, or security.

Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are utilized to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, or market-linked returns at specified future intervals with counterparties. The investment managers have entered into interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on quotations supplied by an exchange, a pricing service, or a major market maker (or dealer), and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Realized gain (loss) is recorded upon termination or maturity of the swap. At the end of the year, outstanding swaps with a positive fair value are recorded as a derivative asset, and those with a negative fair value are recorded as a derivative liability.

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the net assets available for benefits of the applicable master trust investment accounts. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The investment managers have entered into various derivative transactions that are considered credit derivatives. The investment managers write and purchase credit default swaps primarily through credit default swap indices, but may also do so on a single name or basket basis. The use of credit default swaps provides the investment managers with flexibility in adjusting the yield curve and credit characteristics of the portfolio. Credit default swaps can provide access to exposure that may not be available in the financial markets.

No credit default swaps were held as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the notional value of the written credit default swap derivatives was as follows:



Maturity	2014

0–5 years	$	189,660,000
10 years or greater	1,395,375
Total	$	191,055,375

Most credit spreads on the underlying notional values are less than 1,000 basis points. Credit spreads on the underlying notional value, together with the period of expiration, are indicators of payment/performance risk. The likelihood of payment or performance risk is greater as credit spreads on the underlying notional value and period of expiration increase. All credit default swaps written are investment-grade quality.

The maximum payouts for contracts are limited to the notional values of each derivative contract. Typical credit events include bankruptcy, failure to pay, debt restructuring, obligation default, and repudiation. The settlement terms of credit default swaps are determined when the credit default swap contract is written.

Options Contracts

The investment managers write call and put options on futures, swaps (swaptions), securities, or currencies in which they may invest. Writing put options increases the exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options decreases the exposure to the underlying instrument. When the investment managers write a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as derivative liabilities in the net assets available for benefits of the applicable master trust investment accounts. Premiums received from writing options that expire out of the money are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. As a writer of an option, the investment managers have no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security, or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security, or currency underlying the written option. There is a risk that the investment managers may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The investment managers also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options increases the exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options decreases the exposure to the underlying instrument. The investment managers pay a premium that is included in the net assets available for benefits of the applicable master trust investment accounts as an investment which is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the options. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire out of the money are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. At the end of the year, the total fair value of the open options is recorded as a derivative asset if the fair value is positive, or as a derivative liability if the fair value is negative.

8. Securities Lending

Beginning in May 2015, the Master Trust has securities lending agreements with State Street relating to certain assets in the Global Bond Fund, the U.S. Small Cap Stock Fund, the Opportunistic Bond Fund, the Global Equity Fund, and the International Stock Fund, and a securities lending agreement with BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (BlackRock) relating to certain assets in the U.S. Small Cap Stock Fund. Prior to May 2015, the Plan participated in securities lending through its investments in the Global Bond Fund, the U.S. Small Cap Stock Fund, and the International Stock Fund. The master trust investment accounts are not restricted from lending securities to other qualified financial institutions, provided such loans are callable at any time and are at all times fully secured by cash, cash equivalents, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. The master trust investment accounts may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even of rights in, the securities loaned if the borrower of the securities fails financially. Consequently, loans of securities are only made to borrowers deemed to be creditworthy. The master trust investment accounts are also subject to investment risk in connection with investment of the collateral. The applicable master trust investment accounts receive compensation for lending their securities, either in the form of fees or by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of any cash received as collateral.

The investment managers may also enter into master-netting arrangements. See Note 9, "Master-Netting Arrangements" for discussion on the master-netting arrangements.

Collateral is received in the form of cash or securities. State Street and BlackRock are the investment managers for the securities lending collateral pools. The investment policy statement requires that securities lending cash collateral reinvested investments conform to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines for money market funds. Cash collateral is recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability in the net assets available for benefits of the applicable master trust

Intel 401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

investment account. For lending agreements collateralized by securities, the collateral is not recorded as an asset or a liability, unless the collateral is repledged. All collateral received will be in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the U.S. loaned securities and 105% of the fair value of foreign loaned securities. It is intended that the collateral will be maintained at that level during the period of the loan. The fair value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business, and any additional required collateral is delivered the next business day. The applicable master trust investment accounts do not have the right to sell or repledge securities pledged as collateral. During the loan period, the master trust investment accounts continue to retain the rights of ownership, including dividends and interest of the loaned securities.

Cash and non-cash collateral received under such agreements that the Plan is obligated to return to borrowers at the end of each period was as follows:

A gain was generated from securities lending arrangements totaling $879,135 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

9. Master-Netting Arrangements

Most derivative instruments and all securities lending arrangements in the Plan are subject to master-netting arrangements in order to mitigate counterparty credit exposure in derivative and secured borrowing transactions. These master-netting arrangements permit the Plan to net amounts due from the Plan to a counterparty against amounts due to the Plan from the same counterparty under conditions outlined in the terms and conditions of the agreements. For presentation in the net assets available for benefits of the master trust investment accounts, fair value amounts recognized for all derivative and secured lending transactions are not offset under master-netting arrangements.

(a) The gross amounts recognized represents fair value of loaned securities at period end.

(b) The actual collateral received represented in financial collateral is greater than the amount shown here due to overcollateralization.

10. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Plan’s exposure to a concentration of credit risk is limited by the diversification of investments across multiple participant-directed fund elections. With the exception of the Intel Stock Fund, the investments within each participant-directed fund election are further diversified into varied financial instruments. The Intel Stock Fund invests in a single security, the trading value of which is used to determine the entire fair value of the investment. The Plan’s exposure to credit risk on the wrap contracts is limited to the fair value of the contracts with each counterparty. Collateral has been obtained and secured against investments whenever deemed necessary. The Plan has exposure to currency exchange rate risk on non-U.S.-dollar-denominated investments in debt and equity instruments, which may be managed through offsetting derivative instruments to reduce foreign currency exposure. Policies have been established by the IPC to limit the Plan’s risk exposure through prudent diversification and investment of the Plan’s assets.

11. Income Tax Status

The Plan received a determination letter from the IRS dated October 16, 2015, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualified status. The Plan sponsor has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to bring the Plan's operations into compliance with the Code and to maintain the tax qualified status of the Plan.

U.S. GAAP requires plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than

not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.

12. Plan Termination

The Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
