Intel option grants to top execs for '05, '04, '03 Grant Date 4/21/05 4/14/04 4/22/03 Exercise $23.16 $27.00 $18.63 Life (years) 7 10 10 Individual Option Shares (1000s) Otellini 500 300 300 Barrett 250 350 350 Bryant 200 200 200 Maloney 200 200 200 Baker 125 100 212 Sodhani 125 60 75 Grove 50 100 100 Amy, relative to 2004 and 2005, I don't consider the Apr 2005 options to be at a "stumble price". Ron P.S. Above excludes some long-term options during 2003 that don't vest until 2008 or maybe even 2009. Also the list only includes execs that received options in all 3 years.

re: - granting more options is fine, but since Intc is perceived to be at a stumble price, raise the grant price so it doesn't reward stumbling and doesn't encourage stumbling for a gain, but instead rewards for a good job. Are you implying that the prices are getting artificially depressed? I doubt that intel would do that. I have more of a problem with adjusting strike prices of granted options whenever the price is going down. I also have a problem with expensing the options without clearly defining the economic value of those options. -AK
