The United States government will take a 10 percent stake in Intel under an agreement with the struggling chipmaker, President Donald Trump has said, marking the latest extraordinary intervention in corporate affairs.
The US agreed to purchase a 9.9 percent stake in Intel for $8.9bn at a price of $20.47 a share, which is a discount of about $4 per share from Intel’s closing share price of $24.80 on Friday.
