ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

        (a)    Pursuant to a Tender Offer which commenced on August 1, 1997 and
closed on January 21, 1998 (the "Tender Offer"), Intel Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Intel"), acquired control of Chips and Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"). In the Tender Offer, Intel Enterprise
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel
("Merger Sub"), acquired from the public stockholders 22,472,111 shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),
constituting approximately 95 % of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Intel
acquired such shares in the Tender Offer for a price of $17.50 per share, for a
total purchase price of approximately $400,000,000. The source of the purchase
price was cash on hand.

        Arrangements with regard to changes in the composition of the Board of
Directors of the Registrant were previously reported in the Information
Statement Pursuant to Section 14(f) filed as Annex A to the Registrant's
Schedule 14D-9 filed August 1, 1997. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") among the Registrant, Intel and Merger Sub,
immediately following the close of the Tender Offer, the Board of Directors of
the Registrant was expanded from four to nine members, and the following people
were appointed as directors of the Registrant:

</TABLE>

        (b)    There are no other arrangements known to the Registrant which may
result in a change of control of the Registrant.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

        As described in the Tender Offer materials and pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, following the closing of the Tender Offer, Merger Sub acquired all of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Registrant not acquired by it in
the Tender Offer. Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, and the
Registrant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel effective as of 11:59 p.m.
on January 30, 1998 (the "Merger"). Upon consummation of the Merger, each
outstanding share of the Registrant's Common Stock converted into the right to
receive $17.50 in cash, which is the same consideration per share as paid in the
Tender Offer. Prior to the Merger, Intel owned approximately 95 % of the
outstanding shares of the Registrant, and acquired the remaining 5 % pursuant to
the Merger.
