The amount of cash payable upon conversion of any Security shall, for each share of Common Stock into which the Security is convertible, be equal to the average, as determined by Intel or its agent, of the last reported price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following the date the Security has been submitted for conversion in accordance with the indenture. Any holder that surrenders any Securities for conversion between the close of business on the record date occurring on December 1, 2017 and the opening of business on the interest payment date occurring on December 15, 2017 shall be required to pay Intel an amount equal to the interest payable by Intel with respect to such Securities on the interest payment date occurring on December 15, 2017 at the time such holder surrenders such Securities for conversion.

I might speak for myself here, but i would much prefer a feed of news without those type of PR copypastas.
Product releases are fine, as a hardware enthusiast, but this.... :(
As @Fourstaff said:To make a long story short, they're basically repaying a loan where the money was had from investors who bought these securities. Typically these are fixed duration "loans" which is why you see things like:It's like paying off a debt but, still paying the interest on it because the interest accumulating is paid to investors instead of a bank and it takes the form of securities, or a form of stock if you will. A lot of times it's cheaper for a business to borrow against investors than a bank.
Thanks @Aquinus for explaining this :D
