So no shareholder vote required?

It is equivalent to a 10% dilution (shares issued for no extra cash).

How can this be any good for Intel? Why is the stock value bumping 6%?

It means Intel is far worse off than publicly acknowledged, and without this it might be worthless.

It doesn't mean that.

Sometimes, there are returns on investments beyond what an accountant would calculate, but the investment only costs the same. Making stock priced only for normal returns a buy for beneficiaries of said additional returns.

In this case, reducing the risk associated with the imported chip supply.
