On April 8, 2026, Intel Corporation ("Intel") repurchased from Apollo-managed funds and affiliates their 49% equity interest in the parties' joint venture related to Intel's Fab 34 in Ireland. The $14.2 billion repurchase price was financed by Intel with cash on hand and a bridge loan of $6.5 billion, which Intel intends to refinance, subject to market conditions. Intel owns 100% of the joint venture following the repurchase.

The joint venture was created and operated pursuant to agreements entered into by the parties in June 2024. At that time, Apollo-managed funds and affiliates acquired their 49% ownership interest in the joint venture and the parties entered into ancillary agreements with respect to Intel's construction, commissioning, operation, management, maintenance, utilization and purchase of wafers produced in Fab 34. The repurchase of the joint venture interest by Intel was completed pursuant to an April 1, 2026 agreement between the parties, and Intel expects to terminate the various ancillary agreements that had governed the arrangement and wind up the joint venture.
