NXP Announces Senior Unsecured Notes Offering
Eindhoven, the Netherlands, January 31, 2013. NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (together with its subsidiaries, “NXP”) announced today that its subsidiary NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC, intends to offer USD 500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (“Unsecured Notes”) due 2021 pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Unsecured Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of NXP’s subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the Unsecured Notes. In addition, the Unsecured Notes will be effectively subordinated to all secured debt of the issuers and the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. NXP intends to use the net proceeds of the offering with cash on hand to repay amounts outstanding under its Term Loan A2 that it entered into on November 18, 2011, and thereby decrease the amount of variable rate debt in its capital structure.
