Intel CEO Buys $9.71 Million of Shares Amid Sharp Selloff

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan purchased 150,000 common shares through a family trust on November 2 for about $9.71 million, according to an SEC filing published November 4. The trust's holdings rose to 1,464,669 shares after the transaction. Intel shares closed at $58.27 on November 4, down 3.77%, so the purchase did not immediately reverse the decline.

The transaction increased the CEO's indirect ownership but did not provide immediate support for Intel's share price. The purchase price was above the November 4 close, leaving the newly acquired shares below their entry value at that point.
