PROXY STATEMENT
The enclosed proxy is solicited by the company's Board of Directors for the Annual Stockholders' Meeting to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California, on Thursday, May 24, 2001, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and at any postponement or adjournment of the meeting, for the purposes set forth in "Notice of Annual Stockholders' Meeting" on page 1.
Record Date and Share Ownership
Only stockholders of record on the books of the company at the close of business on March 26, 2001 will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date is required for a quorum. As of the close of business on February 23, 2001, the company had 6,718,248,848 outstanding shares of common stock. Copies of this proxy statement were first available to stockholders on April 11, 2001.
Submitting and Revoking Your Proxy
If you complete and submit your proxy (see "Voting" on page 2), the shares represented by your proxy will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you submit a proxy by mail, but do not fill out the voting instructions on the proxy card, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted as follows:
In addition, if other matters come before the annual meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. The company has not received notice of other matters that may properly be presented at the annual meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the start of the annual meeting by: (1) submitting a later-dated vote, in person at the annual meeting, via the Internet, by telephone or by mail (see "Voting" on page 2), or (2) delivering instructions to the Secretary of the company at 2200 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, California 95052-8119.
If you participate in the Intel Stock Fund through the 401(k) Savings Plan or the Puerto Rico Retirement Savings Plan, your proxy represents the number of shares in your plan account as well as other shares registered in your name. For shares in your plan account, your proxy will serve as a voting instruction for Mellon Bank, N.A., the plan trustee, or its designee. If Mellon Bank or its designee does not receive voting instructions for shares in your plan account, those shares will be voted in the same proportion as other plan participants' shares for which Mellon Bank or its designee has received voting instructions.
3
Each share of Intel common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote on all matters. The 11 candidates for election as directors who receive the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Ratification of the independent auditor for the company will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the company's common stock present or represented and voting at the annual meeting. For the purpose of determining whether matters other than the election of directors have been approved by the stockholders, abstentions are treated as shares present or represented and voting, so abstaining has the same effect as a negative vote. Shares held by brokers who do not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and who have not received voting instructions from their customers are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether that matter has been approved by stockholders, but they are counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the annual meeting.
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Unless otherwise marked, all proxies received will be voted FOR the election of each nominee named in this section. Each current director has been nominated for reelection, except Gordon Moore, a director for 32 years, who is retiring from the Board in accordance with the company's policy regarding retirement of directors, and therefore will not be standing for reelection. Mr. Reed Hundt has been nominated for election to fill the vacancy resulting from Dr. Moore's retirement from the Board. If any director nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a nominee at the time of the annual meeting, the proxies may be voted either (i) for a substitute nominee designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy or (ii) for the balance of the nominees, leaving a vacancy. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may reduce the size of the Board. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the following nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director. Such persons have been nominated to serve until the next annual stockholders' meeting following the 2001 annual meeting or until their successors, if any, are elected or appointed. Set forth in this section are the names and biographical information for each of the nominees. The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the election of each of the following nominees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

The Guidelines are published on the Internet at www.intc.com/intel/finance/corp_gov.htm. Among other matters, the Guidelines include the following:

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Directors who are company employees receive no additional or special compensation for serving as directors. In 2000, each non-employee director was paid a retainer fee of $24,000. In addition, non-employee directors receive a fee of $4,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses for each regular Board of Directors meeting attended. Non-employee directors also receive a fee of $500 for each special telephonic Board of Directors meeting attended. In 2000, Mr. Yoffie received an additional $6,000 for serving as Lead Independent Director.
The company also grants stock options to non-employee directors. In accordance with the company's 1984 Stock Option Plan, option grants to non-employee directors may not exceed 40,000 shares per director per year, and the exercise price of the options must be equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. During 2000, the company granted each non-employee director an option to purchase a total of 15,000 shares at an exercise price of $61.45 per share. Non-employee director options are exercisable in full one year from the date of grant.
The company has a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors. Under this plan, non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer and fees, and receive an investment return on the deferred funds as if the funds were invested in the company's common stock. Non-employee directors participating in the plan may make irrevocable elections to receive the deferred funds in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over 5 years or 10 years, and to begin receiving distributions at retirement or at the earlier of retirement and a date specified at the time of the election, which cannot be less than 24 months from the election date. This deferred non-employee director compensation is an unsecured obligation of the company. Drs. Yoffie and Shaw and Mr. Pottruck participated in the deferred compensation plan for 2000.
In 1998, the Board terminated its retirement program for non-employee directors. The retirement program provided a retirement benefit to any non-employee director who had at least 10 years of service or who retired after the age of 65 with at least 5 years of service. All non-employee directors serving at the time of termination were vested with the number of years served (regardless of whether they had met the previous vesting requirements), and no further years of service will accrue for purposes of retirement benefits. Directors vested under the program receive an annual benefit equal to the annual retainer fee in effect at the time of payment, to be paid beginning at commencement of retirement and continuing for the lesser of the number of years served as a non-employee director or the life of the director.

STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH
Set forth in this section is a line graph comparing the cumulative total stockholder return on Intel common stock against the cumulative total return of the Dow Jones Technology Index and the S&P 500 Index for the period of five fiscal years commencing December 30, 1995 and ending December 30, 2000. The graph and table assume that $100 was invested on December 30, 1995 in each of Intel common stock, the Dow Jones Technology Index and the S&P 500 Index, and that all dividends were reinvested. This data was furnished by Dow Jones and Company, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Compustat Services, Inc. Cumulative total stockholder return for Intel common stock and the Dow Jones Technology Index are based on Intel's fiscal year. Cumulative total stockholder return for the S&P 500 Index is based on a calendar year.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the company's executive compensation program. In this regard, the role of the Compensation Committee, which is comprised entirely of outside, non-employee directors, is to review and approve salaries and other compensation of the executive officers of the company and to administer the Executive Officer Bonus Plan (the "Executive Plan"). The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves various other company compensation policies and matters, and administers the company's stock option plans, including the review and approval of stock option grants to the executive officers of the company.
General Compensation Philosophy
The company's general compensation philosophy is that total cash compensation should vary with the performance of the company in attaining financial and non-financial objectives and that any long-term incentive compensation should be closely aligned with the interests of the stockholders. The company has several performance-based compensation programs in which the majority of Intel's employees are eligible to participate. Most company employees not compensated on a commission basis participate in the Employee Bonus Plan (the "Employee Plan"). For the executive officers, participation in the Executive Plan is in lieu of participation in the Employee Plan.
Total cash compensation for the majority of Intel's employees, including its executive officers, consists of the following components:
Long-term incentive compensation is realized through the granting of stock options to most employees, including eligible executive officers. In addition, the company has assumed incentive plans in connection with mergers and acquisitions, including vested and unvested in-the-money stock option grants. At the time of assumption, these grants and plans are converted to become options on or grants of Intel common stock. No new grants are made under such assumed plans, and no directors or executive officers of the company are recipients of grants made pursuant to such plans.
In addition to encouraging stock ownership by granting stock options, the company encourages its employees to own company stock through a tax-qualified employee stock purchase plan, which is generally available to all employees. This plan allows participants to buy company stock at a discount to the market price with up to 10% of their salary and bonuses (subject to certain limits), thereby allowing employees to profit when the value of the company's stock increases over time.
Setting Executive Compensation
In setting the base salary and individual Executive Plan bonus target amount (together referred to as "BSBT") for executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviews information relating to executive compensation of U.S.-based companies that are considered generally comparable to the company (a substantial majority of which companies are included in the Dow Jones Technology Index). While there is no specific formula that is used to set pay in relation to this market data, executive officer BSBT is generally set to be slightly below the average salaries for comparable jobs in the marketplace. However, when the company's business groups meet or exceed certain predetermined financial and non-financial goals, amounts paid under the company's performance-based compensation
14
programs may lead to total cash compensation levels that are higher than the average salaries for comparable jobs. The Compensation Committee also reviews the compensation levels of the executive officers for internal consistency relative to the 100 most highly paid employees of the company.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by the company in any year with respect to each of the company's five most highly paid executive officers. Certain performance-based compensation that has been approved by stockholders is not subject to the deduction limit. The company's 1984 Stock Option Plan and the Executive Plan are qualified so that awards under such plans constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible.
Base Salary
In accordance with the company's compensation philosophy that total cash compensation should vary with company performance, the Compensation Committee establishes base salaries of the company's executive officers at levels that the Compensation Committee believes are below the average base salaries of executives of companies considered by the Compensation Committee to be comparable to the company. Thus, as set forth in the following section of this report, a large part of each executive officer's potential total cash compensation is dependent on the performance of the company as measured through its performance-based compensation programs.
The Compensation Committee reviews the history of and proposals for the compensation package of each of the company's executive officers, including BSBT and performance-based compensation components. The base salary is then set as a percentage of BSBT, taking into account the level and amount of responsibility of the individual. In general, executive officers having the highest level and amount of responsibility have the lowest percentage of their BSBT as base salary and the highest percentage of their BSBT as their individual bonus target amount. For example, in 2000 the base salary for Dr. Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer, was 50% of his total BSBT. The other executives' base salaries were determined in the same manner, but the base salary segment as a percentage of their BSBT for 2000 ranged from 50% to 58%, depending on their job responsibilities. Once fixed, base salary does not depend on the company's performance. In 2000, Dr. Moore, the company's Chairman Emeritus, received compensation equal in amount to that paid to non-employee directors (as described under "Directors' Compensation").
Performance-Based Compensation
Executive Officer Bonus Plan
The Executive Plan is a cash-based incentive bonus program. The purpose of the Executive Plan is to motivate and reward eligible employees for good performance by making a portion of their cash compensation dependent on diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of the company.
The Executive Plan provides for the determination of a maximum bonus amount that is established annually for each executive officer pursuant to a predetermined objective formula, subject to a maximum annual limit of $5,000,000. Under this predetermined formula, the maximum bonus payment for any performance period is the product of (i) the executive officer's individual bonus target for the performance period and (ii) the numerical value of the company's EPS for the performance period multiplied by a pre-established factor (the "multiplier") set by the Compensation Committee. As amended and approved by the company's stockholders in 2000, for purposes of this formula, "EPS" means the greater of (x) the company's operating income or (y) the company's net income per weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding, in each case adjustable based
15
upon qualifying objective criteria selected by the Committee at its sole discretion within the period prescribed by the IRS. Such criteria may include, but are not limited to: asset write-downs; acquisition-related charges; litigation; claim judgments, settlements or tax settlements; the effects of changes in tax law, changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs; unrealized gains or losses on investments; and any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the company's annual report to stockholders for the applicable year. Operating income does not include interest and other income earned by the company, and does not include a deduction for interest expense and income taxes; as a result, the figure for operating income per share generally exceeds the figure for net income per share. The EPS data used in the calculations is reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee.
In January 2000, the Compensation Committee established individual bonus targets ranging from $190,000 to $575,000 for each of the executive officers except Dr. Moore (representing a range of 42% to 50% of BSBT) and set the multiplier as 1.41 for the 2000 performance period (subsequently adjusted to 2.82 in connection with the 2000 stock split). During this period, adjusted operating income per share of $1.73 exceeded adjusted net income per share of $1.64 and led to an EPS value, as defined, of $1.73 to be used in the formula for determining the maximum bonus amount. As authorized by the Executive Plan, the Compensation Committee adjusted operating income per share for certain acquisition-related costs and adjusted net income per share for such acquisition-related costs, as well as the reversal of $600 million of tax accrual related to the IRS audit, which was resolved in the first quarter of 2000.
Under the Executive Plan, the Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce (but not to increase) an individual's actual bonus payment from the amount that would otherwise be payable under the formula established by the Compensation Committee. In the past, the Compensation Committee has exercised its discretion to pay bonuses at amounts that were below the maximum amounts payable pursuant to that formula. The Executive Plan does not specify the factors that the Compensation Committee evaluates in the exercise of its discretion to reduce bonus payments under the Executive Plan and does not require the Compensation Committee to make such a reduction.
For the 2000 performance period, the Compensation Committee chose to exercise its discretion to reduce the bonus amounts paid under the Executive Plan to the amounts that would have been paid to the executive officers under the Employee Plan. Bonus payments under the Employee Plan are generally lower than the maximum bonuses payable under the Executive Plan because of differences in the plan calculations of bonus amounts. The Employee Plan formula uses the net income per share amount in its calculation, and that per share amount may be adjusted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For 2000, the net income per share amount used in the Employee Plan formula was adjusted for certain acquisition-related costs and the reversal of $600 million of tax accrual. The EPS used in the Executive Plan formula is based on the greater of operating income or net income (subject to adjustment as described in this section). The Employee Plan formula also takes into account whether certain business group objectives have been met over the performance period. For example, for 2000, business group objectives considered in determining the bonus payments under the Employee Plan included financial and non-financial goals such as sales, customer satisfaction, productivity measures, product development schedules, cost reduction and employee training. The goals are set each year and vary from year to year. In determining bonuses payable to the executive officers with responsibility for overall performance of the company, such as the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee took into account the corporate average score on achievement of business objectives. For those executive officers with specific responsibility for a particular business group, achievement scores were based on either the individual business group's score or a combination of the group's score and the corporate average score.

Employee Cash Bonus Plan
The Employee Cash Bonus Plan is a profit sharing program that offers cash rewards to employees, including executive officers, based on corporate profitability. Twice a year, eligible employees receive 0.55 day's pay (calculated based on eligible earnings for the six-month period, including one-half of Employee Plan or Executive Plan bonus targets as applicable) for every two percentage points of corporate pretax profit as a percentage of revenues, or a total payment based on 4% of net income, whichever is greater. The Employee Cash Bonus is paid in the first and third quarters of each year based on corporate performance for the preceding two quarters.
For the year 2000, payments based on 4% of net income resulted in an annual cash bonus payment under the Employee Cash Bonus Plan of 29.5 days' pay per employee.
Profit Sharing Retirement Plans
The company has both tax-qualified and non-qualified capital accumulation/retirement plans ("Profit Sharing Retirement Plans"). The tax-qualified plans are available to eligible employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and there are similar plans for certain of the company's non-U.S. subsidiaries. The non-qualified plan is a supplemental plan that provides eligible employees in the U.S. with contributions that could not be credited to their individual accounts under the qualified plan because of limitations under the Code. The Profit Sharing Retirement Plans are defined contribution plans that are designed to accumulate retirement funds for employees, including the executive officers, and to allow the company to make contributions or allocations to those funds. The company contribution is discretionary. The contributions approved by the Board may vary with the financial performance of the company, particularly the revenues and income of the company. However, there are no corporate performance factors or other specific factors that are required to be considered by the Board in determining the contribution. Contributions made by the company under the plans vest based on years of service. Vesting begins after three years of service in 20% annual increments until the employee is 100% vested after seven years.
For 2000, the discretionary company contributions (including allocation of forfeitures) to the Profit Sharing Retirement Plans for all eligible employees, including executive officers, equaled 12.5% of eligible salary (which includes actual Employee Plan or Executive Plan bonus payments as applicable). Contributions to individual accounts for the qualified plan are limited under the Code. Where Code limits applied, the excess, up to 12.5% of eligible salary, was allocated to the non-qualified plan for eligible employees, including executive officers.
Stock Options
Stock options are granted by the company to aid in the retention of employees and to align the interests of employees with those of the stockholders. Stock options have value for an employee only if the price of the company's stock increases above the fair market value on the grant date and the employee remains in the company's employ for the period required for the stock option to be exercisable, thus providing an incentive to remain in the company's employ. In addition, stock options directly link a portion of an employee's compensation to the interests of stockholders by providing an incentive to maximize stockholder value.
The company has a 1984 Stock Option Plan, as amended, for use with officers and directors. The 1984 Stock Option Plan is generally used for making annual grants to officers and directors as a part of the company's executive performance review process. Annual stock option grants for executives are a key element of market-competitive total compensation. In 2000, stock options for the executive officers were granted upon recommendation of management and approval of the Compensation Committee. Individual grant amounts were based on internal factors, such as the size of prior grants, relative job scope and contributions made during the past year, as well as a review of publicly available data on
17
senior management compensation at other companies. In general, initial grants received upon commencement of employment are exercisable in increments over a five-year period, and subsequent grants are first exercisable five years after the date of grant (for example, options granted in 2000 become exercisable in 2005). Under this 1984 Stock Option Plan, the company occasionally makes additional stock option grants to key officers and other senior-level employees in recognition of their future potential in leading the corporation. The vesting schedule for these grants is generally longer than that of regular stock options, typically vesting in increments beginning five years after the grant date, with the final increment vesting eight years after the grant date. The company also has a 1997 Stock Option Plan for use with all employees other than officers and directors. Stock options under all such plans are granted at a price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. In addition, the company has assumed incentive plans in connection with mergers and acquisitions, including vested and unvested in-the-money stock option grants. At the time of assumption, these grants and plans are converted to become options on or grants of Intel common stock. No new grants are made under such assumed plans, and no directors or executive officers of the company are recipients of grants made pursuant to such plans.
Company Performance and CEO Compensation
The company's compensation program is designed to support the achievement of corporate and business objectives. This pay-for-performance program is most clearly exemplified in the compensation of the company's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Barrett.
Dr. Barrett does not have an employment contract. Dr. Barrett's BSBT is determined in the same manner as described for all executive officers. In setting compensation levels for the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considers data reflecting comparative compensation information from other companies for the prior year. However, in line with the Compensation Committee's general practice and discretionary authority, Dr. Barrett's 2000 salary and individual bonus target were not tied directly to the comparative compensation data. In January 2000, Dr. Barrett's base salary and bonus target were set at levels that, by comparison to selected companies reflected in the market data (a substantial majority of which are included in the Dow Jones Technology Index), were 57% of the average for base salary, 54% of the average for target incentive-based compensation and 55% of the average for BSBT.
Under the Executive Plan, Dr. Barrett's actual bonus for 2000 (paid in 2001) was $2,639,250. This bonus, like the bonuses paid to each of the other executive officers under the Executive Plan, was less than the maximum bonus provided under the Executive Plan formula due to the Compensation Committee's exercise of its discretion to reduce the maximum bonus to the bonus derived using the Employee Plan formula, as described herein. Although Dr. Barrett's BSBT was 55% of the average total target compensation disclosed by the selected peer group, due to the high variability in the company's total compensation program and to the company's strong 2000 financial performance, his actual cash compensation (base salary and bonus) for 2000 was 106% of the average total actual cash compensation disclosed by the selected peer group.
In 2000, the Compensation Committee awarded Dr. Barrett a stock option to purchase 200,000 shares of stock. This option first becomes exercisable in 2005. In 2000, the company also contributed $19,500 to Dr. Barrett's account under the tax-qualified retirement plan and allocated $378,200 to Dr. Barrett's account under the non-qualified retirement plan, based on the company's 2000 results. In general, Dr. Barrett's retirement plan accounts are available to Dr. Barrett only upon retirement, termination, disability or death.
The Compensation Committee is pleased to submit this report to the stockholders with regard to these matters.

The Pension Plan provides for minimum pension benefits that are determined by a participant's years of service credited under the plan, final average compensation, taking into account the participant's Social Security wage base and the value of the participant's company contributions, plus earnings, in the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. If the annuity value of the participant's Profit Sharing Retirement Plan account balance exceeds the pension guarantee, the participant will receive benefits from the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan only. Compensation includes regular earnings and most bonuses. However, maximum eligible compensation for 2000 is $170,000, in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17). This amount is subject to cost-of-living adjustments in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 415(d). The table illustrates the estimated annual benefits payable in the form of a straight-life annuity upon retirement at age 65 under the pension plan to persons in the specified compensation and years of service classifications for Social Security benefits. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 contains certain limitations on the amount of benefits that may be paid under pension plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. The amounts shown are subject to reduction to the extent that they exceed such limitations but are not subject to reduction for Social Security benefits.
For each of the employees named in the Summary Compensation Table, the years of credited service as of year-end 2000 under the company's pension plan are as follows: Dr. Barrett (26); Dr. Grove (32); Dr. Parker (31); Mr. Otellini (26); and Mr. Bryant (19).
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Securities and Exchange Commission rules now require the company to include in its proxy statement a report from the Audit Committee of the Board. The following report concerns the Committee's activities regarding oversight of the company's financial reporting and auditing process.
The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent directors, as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, and it operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A. The composition of the Audit Committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the Committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis.
As described more fully in its charter, the purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the company's financial reporting, internal control and audit functions. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the company's financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. Ernst & Young LLP, the company's independent auditing firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent auditor, nor can the Committee certify that the independent auditor is "independent" under applicable rules. The Committee serves a board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and the auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management
22
and the auditors and the experience of the Committee's members in business, financial and accounting matters.
Among other matters, the Audit Committee monitors the activities and performance of the company's internal and external auditors, including the audit scope, external audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent auditor may be retained to perform non-audit services. The Audit Committee and the Board have ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the company's independent auditor. The Audit Committee also reviews the results of the internal and external audit work with regard to the adequacy and appropriateness of the company's financial, accounting and internal controls. Management and independent auditor presentations to and discussions with the Audit Committee also cover various topics and events that may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions between management and the independent auditor. In addition, the Audit Committee generally oversees the company's internal compliance programs.
The Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditor, management represented to the Committee that the company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the independent auditor represented that its presentations included the matters required to be discussed with the independent auditor by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committees."
The company's independent auditor also provided the Committee with the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees," and the Committee discussed with the independent auditor that firm's independence.
Following the Committee's discussions with management and the independent auditor, the Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2000.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Ernst & Young LLP has been the company's independent auditor since its incorporation in 1968 and at the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board has been selected by the Board of Directors as the company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2001. In the event that ratification of this selection of auditors is not approved by a majority of the shares of common stock voting thereon, management and the Board of Directors will review their future selection of auditors.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP attend most meetings of the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee reviews audit and non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young LLP as well as the fees charged by Ernst & Young LLP for such services. In its review of non-audit service fees, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditor's independence. Additional information concerning the Audit Committee and its activities with Ernst & Young LLP can be found in the following sections of this proxy statement: "Board Committees and Meetings," "Report of the Audit Committee," and Exhibit A.
A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
Fees Paid to Ernst & Young LLP
The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by the company for the audit and other services provided by Ernst & Young LLP for fiscal year 2000.
Audit Fees (1) | $ | 4,056,000 | |
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees | $ | 0 | |
All Other Fees (2) | $ | 5,890,000 | |
Total | $ | 9,946,000 |
Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company's independent auditor for 2001.
ADDITIONAL MEETING INFORMATION
Meeting Proposals. At the date hereof, there are no other matters that the Board of Directors intends to present, or has reason to believe others will present, at the annual meeting. If other matters come before the annual meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters.
Proxy Solicitation. The expense of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the company. The company has retained D. F. King & Co., Inc. to solicit proxies for a fee of $11,500 plus a reasonable
24
amount to cover expenses. Certain of the company's directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may also solicit proxies personally or by written communication, telephone or other electronic means. The company is required to request that brokers and nominees who hold stock in their name furnish the company's proxy material to beneficial owners of the stock and will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so.
OTHER MATTERS
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the company's directors and executive officers, among others, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. an initial report of ownership of the company's stock on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on a Form 4 or a Form 5. Persons subject to Section 16 are required by SEC regulations to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Under SEC rules, certain forms of indirect ownership and ownership of company stock by certain family members are covered by these reporting rules. As a matter of practice, the company's administrative staff assists the company's executive officers and directors in preparing initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership, and in filing these reports on their behalf.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the company, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the company believes that during fiscal 2000, all of its executive officers and directors filed the required reports on a timely basis under Section 16(a).
2002 Stockholder Proposals or Nominations. From time to time, stockholders of the company submit proposals that they believe should be voted upon at the annual meeting or nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, some stockholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in the company's 2002 proxy statement. Any such stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the company at M/S SC4-203, 2200 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, California 95052-8119 no later than December 12, 2001. Stockholders interested in submitting such a proposal are advised to contact knowledgeable counsel with regard to the detailed requirements of applicable securities laws. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the company's proxy statement. The Corporate Governance Committee of the Board reviews stockholder proposals and makes recommendations to the Board for action on such proposals.
Alternatively, under the company's Bylaws, a proposal or a nomination that the stockholder does not seek to include in the company's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 may be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the company for the 2002 annual stockholders' meeting not less than 45 days or more than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the date on which the company first mails its proxy materials for the 2001 annual meeting, unless the date of the 2002 annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2001 annual meeting. For the company's 2002 annual meeting, this means that any such proposal or nomination must be submitted no earlier than December 12, 2001 and no later than February 25, 2002. If the date of the 2002 annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2001 annual meeting, the stockholder must submit any such proposal or nomination no later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to the 2002 annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. The stockholder's submission must include certain specified information concerning the proposal or nominee, as the case may be, and information as to the stockholder's ownership of common stock of the company. Proposals or nominations not meeting these requirements will not be entertained at the annual meeting. If the stockholder does not also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the company may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies it solicits
25
to vote in accordance with its best judgment on any such proposal or nomination submitted by a stockholder. Stockholders should contact the Secretary of the company in writing at M/S SC4-203, 2200 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, California 95052-8119 to make any submission or to obtain additional information as to the proper form and content of submissions.

Copies of the annual report are being sent to the company's stockholders concurrently with the mailing of this proxy statement.

EXHIBIT A
The Purpose of the Audit Committee
The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the company's financial reporting, internal control and audit functions. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the company's financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. The company's independent auditing firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent auditor, nor can the Committee certify that the independent auditor is "independent" under applicable rules. The Committee serves a board-level oversight role in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and the auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with the auditors and the experience of the Committee's members in business, financial and accounting matters.
Membership
The Audit Committee is comprised of at least three directors who meet the independence and qualification requirements as provided in the applicable Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Appointment to the Committee, including the designation of the Chair of the Committee, shall be made on an annual basis by the full Board upon recommendation of the Nominating Committee.
Responsibilities
The Audit Committee:
A-1
The Chairman of the Audit Committee is to be contacted directly by the Internal Audit Director or the independent auditor (1) to review items of a sensitive nature that can impact the accuracy of financial reporting or (2) to discuss significant issues relative to the overall Board responsibility that have been communicated to management but, in their judgment, have not been adequately addressed.
