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%?

The CHIPS grants had clawback provisions, which carry risk. This transaction removes that risk, so it's very good news for Intel.

> The existing claw-back and profit-sharing provisions associated with the government’s previously dispersed $2.2 billion grant to Intel under the CHIPS Act will be eliminated to create permanency of capital as the company advances its U.S. investment plans.

How those 2 billions compare with 10% of Intel?
