Item 8.01   Other Events.
     On January 26, 2011, the European Commission (the “EC”) announced that it had granted conditional antitrust clearance of the proposed acquisition (the “Merger”) of McAfee, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“McAfee”) by Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Intel”), that is contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as August 18, 2010, between McAfee, Intel and Jefferson Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger Agreement”). As part of the EC’s clearance decision, Intel has agreed to certain commitments, including, among other things, (i) to ensure that vendors of rival security solutions will have access to all necessary information to use functionalities of Intel’s central processing units (“CPUs”) and chipsets in the same way as those functionalities used by McAfee, (ii) not to actively impede competitors’ security solutions from running on Intel CPUs or chipsets, and (iii) to avoid hampering the operation of McAfee’s security solutions when running on personal computers containing CPUs or chipsets sold by Intel’s competitors. The commitments of Intel set forth in the EC’s clearance decision will be monitored by a trustee, and Intel has also committed to the EC that it will not close the Merger until twenty (20) working days after the date of the EC’s clearance decision in order to allow reasonable time for the appointment of such trustee.
     As previously announced, McAfee’s stockholders approved the Merger on November 2, 2010, and on December 20, 2010, McAfee received notification from the United States Federal Trade Commission that the waiting period had expired under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
     The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement was previously filed by McAfee as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2010.
