Intel's $7.86 billion government subsidies deal comes with restrictions that limit the company's ability to sell stakes in its chipmaking unit if it becomes independent. The subsidies, part of a $39 billion initiative to revive chip manufacturing in the United States, require Intel to own at least 50.1% of its chip unit, Intel Foundry, should it be separated into a new entity. If Intel Foundry turns into a public company, Intel can only sell 35% of the unit to any one shareholder without triggering change-in-control provisions. Compliance with these restrictions is necessary for Intel to proceed with its multi-billion dollar projects and continue manufacturing advanced chips within the United States.

The White House has announced a new agreement with Intel, in which the silicon giant could receive up to $8.5 billion to support domestic chip manufacturing in the US. This comes in the wake of the CHIPS and Science Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden, which aims to boost the country's chip production. The move is seen as a response to supply chain bottlenecks and tensions between the US and China. Intel plans to invest $100 billion in the US, creating 30,000 jobs and contributing to innovation. However, experts suggest more needs to be done to level the playing field with global competitors.
