Buyback from Apollo Reflects Capital Realignment and Manufacturing Focus
Intel has announced plans to repurchase the 49 percent equity stake in its Ireland Fab 34 joint venture from Apollo Global Management for $14.2 billion.
The stake was originally acquired by Apollo in 2024 as part of an investment that provided Intel with capital flexibility to support its semiconductor manufacturing roadmap. The repurchase marks a shift in Intel’s capital strategy as it moves to regain full ownership of the facility.
The transaction will be funded through a combination of cash and approximately $6.5 billion in new debt. Intel expects the move to support its financial position over the long term while aligning with its evolving business priorities.
Fab 34 in Ireland remains a key part of Intel’s global manufacturing network, supporting production of advanced process technologies used in products such as Intel Core Ultra and Xeon processors.
