Director Nomination Process
The board is responsible for approving nominees for election as directors. To assist in this task, the board has designated a standing committee, the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee (the Committee), which is responsible for reviewing and recommending nominees to the board. The Committee is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the boards corporate governance guidelines. The companys board of directors
4
has adopted a written charter (Statement of Responsibilities) for the
Committee. The charter can be found on the companys web site at www.ti.com/corporategovernance.
It is a long-standing policy of the board to consider director nominees recommended by stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective board nominee for the Committees consideration can write to the Secretary of the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee, Texas Instruments Incorporated, Post Office Box 655936, MS 8658, Dallas, Texas 75265-5936. The Committee will evaluate the stockholders prospective board nominee in the same manner as it evaluates other nominees.
In evaluating prospective nominees, the Committee looks for the following minimum qualifications, qualities and skills:
|
Outstanding achievement in the individuals personal career. |
|
Breadth of experience. |
|
Soundness of judgment. |
|
Ability to make independent, analytical inquiries. |
|
Ability to contribute to a diversity of viewpoints among board members. |
|
Willingness and ability to devote the time required to perform board activities adequately (in this regard, the Committee will consider the number of other boards of directors on which the individual serves). |
|
Ability to represent the total corporate interests of TI (a director will not be selected to, nor will he or she be expected to, represent the interests of any particular group). |
Stockholders, non-management directors, management and others, including the Committees third-party search firm discussed below, may submit recommendations to the Committee. The board prefers a mix of experience among its members to maintain a diversity of viewpoints. For example, some board members may have spent much of their careers in business, some in government and some in academia.
Ms. Cox and Ms. Patsley were elected to the board on September 16, 2004, and July 15, 2004, respectively. They are the only non-management director nominees for the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders who are standing for election by the stockholders for the first time. A search firm retained by the company to assist the Committee in identifying and evaluating potential nominees initially identified Ms. Cox as a potential director candidate to Mr. Engibous, who at the time was serving as both chairman and CEO. Mr. Engibous then forwarded her name to the Committee for its consideration. Mr. Sanders, an independent director and member of the Committee at the time, identified Ms. Patsley, with whom Mr. Sanders served as a director of another company, as another potential director candidate. For more information regarding the elections of these directors, please refer to the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee Report on page 11.
These recent additions and the late 2003 addition of Ms. Whitman are the result of a decision made by the board in 2003 to increase its size. As noted above, the company retained a third-party search firm to assist the Committee in the search for potential nominees. The Committee considered the specific qualifications and skills candidates should possess. Guided by those considerations, the search firm conducted research to identify viable candidates. It prepared a list for the Committee that included a brief biography of each candidate. The list was provided to the Committee through Mr. Engibous. The search firm then conducted further research on the candidates in whom the Committee had the most interest. The results of that research were then reported to the Committee through Mr. Engibous. Both Ms. Cox and Ms. Whitman were brought to the Committees attention by
5
the search firm. Now that the board has reached its maximum desired size, the
search firm is no longer on retainer.
Stockholder Communications with the Board
Stockholders and others who wish to communicate with the board as a whole, or to individual directors, may write to them at: Post Office Box 655936, MS 8658, Dallas, Texas 75265-5936. All communications sent to this address will be shared with the board or the individual director, if so addressed.
It is a policy of the board to encourage directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Such attendance allows for direct interaction between stockholders and members of the board. In 2004, all directors attended TIs annual meeting of stockholders.
Director Independence
The board has adopted the following standards for determining independence.
A. | In no event will a director be considered independent if: |
B. | In no event will a director be considered independent if, within the preceding three years: |
6
For any other relationship, the determination of whether the relationship is material, and consequently whether the director involved is independent, will be made by directors who satisfy the independence criteria set forth in this section.
For purposes of these independence determinations, immediate family member will have the same meaning as under the NYSE rules.
Applying these standards, the board has determined that the following directors have no material relationship with the company other than as a director and are, therefore, independent: Mr. Adams, Mr. Boren, Mr. Carp, Ms. Cox, Mr. Fronterhouse, Mr. Goode, Ms. Patsley, Mr. Sanders, Ms. Simmons and Ms. Whitman.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The board has a long-standing commitment to responsible and effective corporate governance. Information regarding the corporate governance practices of the board is available on the companys investor relations web site at www.ti.com/corporategovernance. The board acted on a number of important corporate governance matters during 2004. To provide details of those actions, the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee offers the following report:
GOVERNANCE AND STOCKHOLDER RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT
In 2004, the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee of the board of directors (the Committee) undertook two major initiatives that increased the diversity and efficiency of the board of directors. The first initiative added two new women directors to the board, and the second initiative combined two existing board committees into one new committee, such that the board now has three separate committees with no overlap in director service, thereby increasing the time available for board review of strategic issues. These two initiatives are described below.
Director Search. The board continued its efforts to increase the number of independent directors so as to reach the upper end of its desired range. As the Committee reported in the companys 2004 proxy statement, increasing the number of directors was desirable due to two independent directors having reached mandatory retirement age over the last few years. Identifying potential director candidates is challenging, given the boards high standards for director candidates, its desire to maintain a diversity of viewpoints among board members, the amount of time and attention TI expects its directors to devote to board matters, and the integrity the company and its stockholders expect of directors.
As part of the search that began in 2003, the Committees independent recruitment firm identified Ms. Cox as a viable candidate who met the boards criteria for directors listed on pages 5 through 7. Mr. Sanders, an independent director and member of the Committee at the time, identified Ms. Patsley as another viable candidate; Mr. Sanders recommendation was based on his experiences serving with Ms. Patsley as independent directors of another company. The Committee considered the qualifications of Ms. Cox and Ms. Patsley, and in accordance with the Committees direction, the chair of the Committee met with both of them. Following those meetings, the chair recommended to the Committee, and in turn the Committee recommended to the board, the election of Ms. Cox and Ms. Patsley as directors of the company. The board acted on those recommendations, and the company announced the addition of Ms. Patsley to the board in July and the addition of Ms. Cox in September, bringing the board to its current size of twelve, the upper end of its desired range. As important as reaching its desired size, the board also increased the diversity among its members. The variety of experiences and viewpoints among the directors helps ensure robust consideration and debate of issues facing the board.
Board Committee Restructuring. TI operates in complex, highly competitive and rapidly changing high-technology markets. During 2004, the Committee considered ways to increase the efficiency of board and board committee meetings in order to increase the amount of time available for reviewing business strategy and developments in meetings of the full board.
After considering the relative responsibilities and anticipated workloads of the board committees, the board merged the Stockholder Relations and Public Policy Committee into this Committee (at the time named the Governance and Nominating Committee), forming the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee. The boards committee responsibilities are expected to be more evenly distributed among the resulting three committeesAudit, Compensation, and Governance and Stockholder Relations.
11
The merger necessitated the review of directors committee assignments. Reassigning directors led to each serving on a single committee, enabling directors to more intensely focus their efforts. The reassignments also enabled the scheduling of concurrent committee meetings as opposed to consecutively held meetings. This committee schedule makes available more time for the review of important strategic and business issues with the full board.
TIs board of directors has long been interested in and committed to responsible and effective corporate governance. It first adopted written governance guidelines and committee charters in 1973. Its policies and practices have evolved over time, adapting to meet the needs of the company and its stockholders, although some practices, such as maintaining a majority of independent directors, are of long standing. The boards commitment to governance is evidenced by the time members devote to TI matters. Historically the board has met at least eight times a year. TI directors have also long participated in strategic conferences in addition to the regular board meetings. Directors interact directly with managers other than the chief executive officer at board meetings and the strategic planning conferences. This practice facilitates the directors oversight efforts and also gives directors opportunities to evaluate those managers, aiding directors in succession planning considerations. As illustrated in 2004, the board has also shown a willingness to change the status quo by revising the size and composition of the board and the boards committee structure.
TIs corporate governance guidelines, which can be found on the companys web site at www.ti.com/corporategovernance, document several other principles the board has long followed. Following are examples of policies included in the guidelines:
|
The roles of chairman and chief executive officer. TIs board believes that the companys situation warrants separating the roles of chairman and chief executive officer. However, the board does not believe it is in the best interests of stockholders to be permanently bound to that structure. Instead, the board will determine the leadership structure that serves the company best at any given time. That structure may involve a separation of the roles of chief executive officer and chairman, or may involve the chief executive officers simultaneously serving as chairman, depending on current and anticipated circumstances. |
|
Retirement age and term limits. The board maintains a retirement age of 70 for directors. The board has considered whether to institute term limits but concluded that term limits can result in the loss of directors who have developed, over a period of time, an in-depth understanding of the company and its strategic objectives, operations and challenges and, therefore, provide a valuable contribution to the board as a whole. |
|
Executive sessions and lead director. Non-management directors of the board meet in executive session at each regularly scheduled meeting and at such other times as the Committee recommends. Any management director, such as the chief executive officer, is excluded from these executive sessions. The chair of the appropriate board committee acts as chair at executive sessions at which the principal item to be considered is within the scope of authority of his or her committee or, if there is no single principal item, the chair of this Committee. This practice, by providing opportunities for leadership to more than one independent director, more fully engages the board members. The board prefers this approach to the selection of one lead director. |
|
Director independence. TIs board has historically been comprised almost entirely of independent directors. In accordance with the NYSE listing standards, the Committee has developed specified standards for determining independence. Those standards are listed beginning on page 6. |

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors who are not employees are paid an annual retainer of $70,000 for their board and committee service. The chair of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $10,000. The chairs of the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee each receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000.
Compensation for other activities designated by the chairman of the board is $1,000 per day. In 2004, the company made payments (an aggregate of $4,925) relating to premiums for life, medical, dental, travel and accident insurance policies covering non-employee directors.
Under the terms of the Texas Instruments 2003 Director Compensation Plan, which was approved by stockholders in April 2003, non-employee directors receive the following additional compensation:
TI has arrangements with certain customers whereby TIs employees may purchase specific products containing TI manufactured components at discounted pricing. Under these arrangements, directors are entitled to participate on the same terms and conditions available to employees. Certain directors participated in one or more of these programs during the preceding year.
Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in any TI-sponsored pension plan.
Each director whose service commenced prior to June 20, 2002, is eligible to participate in the companys Director Award Program. This program was established to promote the companys interest in supporting charitable institutions. Under the program, the company may contribute a total of $500,000 per eligible director to as many as three educational institutions recommended by the director and approved by the company. The contributions will be made in five annual installments of $100,000 each following the directors death. Directors receive no financial benefit from the program, and all charitable deductions belong to the company.

On May 1, 2004, Mr. Templeton became the president and chief executive officer of the company. Mr. Engibous, who had been serving as chairman, president and chief executive officer, continued as chairman of the company.
The following table shows the compensation of each individual who served as the companys chief executive officer in 2004 and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers for services in all capacities to the company in 2002, 2003 and 2004, except as otherwise indicated.

(1) | The board of directors has determined that for security reasons, it is in the companys interest to require the chief executive officer to use company aircraft for personal air travel. For a portion of the year, the board imposed the same security requirement on the chairman. The amount shown for Mr. Templeton includes $73,510 incremental cost of company-required personal use of aircraft. The incremental cost the company incurred for company-required use of company aircraft by Mr. Engibous fell below the $50,000 reporting threshold. The amounts shown for Mr. Templeton and Mr. Engibous include $11,743 and $8,672, respectively, for reimbursement of a portion of the tax related to the incremental cost of company-required personal use of aircraft. The amount shown for Mr. Delfassy for 2002 is for tax equalization payments related to an expatriate assignment prior to 2000. The dollar value of perquisites and other personal benefits for Mr. Delfassy during 2003 and 2004, and for Messrs. Lowe, Ritchie and Wroe for all reported years, was less than the established reporting threshold. |

Table of Option Grants in 2004
The following table shows stock options granted to the named executive officers in 2004. Additionally, in accordance with the rules of the SEC, the table shows the hypothetical gains or option spreads that would exist for the options. These gains are based on assumed rates of annual compound stock appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date the options were granted over the full option term. The options have a 10-year term and generally become exercisable over the first four years of the term. Following termination of employment, an optionee generally has 30 days to exercise vested options unless the optionee has 20 years of service with TI or is otherwise retirement eligible, in which case the options continue to vest and are exercisable over their full term. Beginning with options granted in February 2003, if an optionee terminates employment following 20 years of credited service but is not retirement eligible, the options continue to full term but only to the extent vested at the time of termination. The options become fully exercisable in the event of a change in control (as defined in the options) of the company. The exercise price may be paid by delivery of already-owned shares and tax withholding obligations related to exercise may be paid in shares.

Pension Plan Table
The table below shows the approximate annual benefits relating to the companys U.S. pension plan that would be payable as of December 31, 2004, to employees in higher salary classifications for the average credited earnings and years of credited service indicated. It assumes retirement at age 65. Benefits are based on eligible earnings. Eligible earnings include salary and bonus as shown in the summary compensation table. Other elements of compensation shown in the summary compensation table or referred to in the footnotes to that table are not included in eligible earnings.
In 1997, the companys U.S. employees were given the option of continuing to participate in the pension plan or participating in a new defined contribution retirement plan. Mr. Templeton chose to participate in the new plan. Accordingly, his benefits under the pension plan (discussed in footnote 1) were frozen as of December 31, 1997. Contributions to the defined contribution retirement plan for Mr. Templetons benefit are included in the summary compensation table. Mr. Delfassy transferred to the companys U.S. payroll in 1999 and participates in the defined contribution retirement plan. Contributions to the plan for Mr. Delfassys benefit are included in the summary compensation table.

units and (4) other awards (including stock appreciation rights) valued in whole or in part by reference to or otherwise based on common stock of the
company. The plan is administered by a board committee appointed by the board of directors consisting entirely of independent directors (the
Committee). The Committee has the sole discretion to grant to eligible participants one or more equity awards and to determine the number or amount of
any award. Except in the case of awards made through assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired
company, and except as a result of an adjustment event such as a stock split, the exercise price under any stock option, the grant price of any stock
appreciation right, and the purchase price of any security that may be purchased under any other stock-based award under the plan will not be less than
100% of the fair market value of the stock or other security on the date of the grant of the option, right or award. Also includes shares to be issued under the Texas Instruments Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, the Texas Instruments Restricted Stock Unit Plan for Directors and the Texas Instruments Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. These plans were replaced by the Texas Instruments 2003 Director Compensation Plan, and no further grants will be made under them. |
(5) | Shares of TI common stock available for issuance under the Texas Instruments 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Stockholders have approved all other equity compensation plans of the company. |
The Compensation Committee of the board of directors has furnished the following report on executive compensation paid or awarded to executive officers for 2004:
The Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the Committee) determines the compensation of the Chairman, CEO and other executive officers of the company. The Committee consists solely of independent members of the board, meets on a scheduled basis and reports its activities to the board. To assist it in administration of the companys executive compensation program, the Committee has authority to retain independent experts and advisors. In 2004, the Committee retained an independent consultant to advise it on market practices relating to compensation. A copy of the Committees charter appears on the companys web site at www.ti.com/corporategovernance.
18
Compensation Strategy
The goal of the companys executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain the executives who are critical to the companys success. This program also holds executive officers accountable for their own and for the companys performance, and aligns the interests of executive officers with the interests of stockholders. The companys compensation strategy is that the total value of compensation delivered to executive officers be highly variable based on individual and company performance.
The components of the executive compensation program are cash compensation (consisting of base salaries and bonuses for performance) and long-term compensation (consisting of equity awards, such as stock options and restricted stock units). Performance bonuses are awarded under the Texas Instruments Executive Officer Performance Plan, which stockholders approved in April 2002. Equity awards to executive officers are granted under the Texas Instruments 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which stockholders approved in April 2000.
Total cash compensation is targeted at a level commensurate with the companys relative performance and the individuals contribution to that performance. Base salary is determined primarily by competitive pay practices and individual performance. Cash bonuses are used to set total cash compensation at the targeted level.
If the company performs above competitor companies on the performance measures described in the following section, the executive officers will receive total cash compensation that is above the market median. If the company performs worse than competitor companies, executive officers will receive total cash compensation that is below the market median. The Committee has demonstrated its willingness to vary cash compensation with performance by setting executive bonuses at zero for 1997 and 2001.
Members of the companys executive team are highly regarded and sought after in the semiconductor and other high-technology industries, and the Committees actions are intended to retain the strong, capable executive team. To promote retention and align executive officers interests more closely with those of stockholders, the Committee grants long-term equity compensation. In the past, stock options have been the primary vehicle for long-term compensation of the companys executives. During 2004, the Committee reviewed its long-term compensation practices and determined that it would be appropriate to shift toward granting a mix of stock options and restricted stock units. The Committee will continue to review its compensation practices and make any further adjustments that it believes appropriate, keeping in mind the companys priorities, stockholder interests and market practices.
In determining long-term awards, the Committee considers the performance of the executive officer and the retention value of the long-term compensation that already has been granted to the individual, as well as the median number of shares and equity value granted by competitor companies to similarly situated executive officers.
Stock options are granted at 100 percent of fair market value on the date of grant, have a 10-year term, and become exercisable in four equal annual installments starting one year after grant. Any value actually realized by an executive officer from an option grant depends solely upon price increases in TI common stock benefiting all stockholders.
Restricted stock units are awarded to increase the retention value for certain executive officers. Restricted stock units are designated in shares of TI common stock and generally vest 4 years from the date of grant. Until vesting, the grantee receives an annual cash payment equivalent to the dividends paid on the number of shares under the grant. Following vesting, the restricted stock units are paid to the grantee in shares of TI common stock.
19
To further strengthen the alignment of executive officers interests with those of stockholders, the company also has stock ownership guidelines for the companys executive officers. The guideline for the Chairman and the CEO is four times base salary or 125,000 shares, whichever is less. The guideline for other executive officers is three times base salary or 25,000 shares, whichever is less. Executive officers have 5 years from their election as executive officers to reach these targets.
Reflecting the companys culture of respect and value for all employees, the benefits received by executive officers are generally the same as those of other employees. For example, executive officers, together with other employees, are eligible for medical and life insurance, a pension plan, a 401(k) plan into which the company makes matching contributions, and an employee stock purchase plan that allows participants to purchase up to $25,000 of TI stock annually at a discount. Any U.S. employee whose base salary exceeds a certain level (currently $125,000 per year) may defer compensation. All employees are eligible to participate in the companys broad-based profit sharing program. Under this program, cash payments are made to employees, including executive officers, if the company meets specified performance goals. Together with other U.S. employees, executive officers also participate in a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan, into which amounts are credited that ordinarily would be contributed by the company under the pension and 401(k) plans, but for limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. Upon retirement executive officers receive benefits, such as a pension and retiree medical benefits, under the same terms as other retirees. The company does not offer post-employment benefits to executive officers except as described above. The company does not have employment agreements with any of the executive officers.
The few benefits available only to executive officers are the following: financial planning advice at a cost of up to $8,000 annually for each executive officer; home-security systems for certain executive officers; and an executive life insurance policy for Mr. Engibous. Together with other senior executives, the executive officers are eligible for a company-paid annual physical. The board of directors determined that for security reasons, it was in the companys interest to require the CEO to use company aircraft for personal air travel. The company reimburses the CEO for a portion of the tax expense that he incurs as a result of that requirement.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally denies a deduction to any
publicly held corporation for compensation paid in a taxable year to the companys CEO and four other highest compensated officers to the extent
that the officers compensation (other than qualified performance based compensation) exceeds $1 million. The Committees policy is to award
executive compensation that meets the Section
162(m) deductibility requirements, but the Committee exercises its discretion to award non-deductible
compensation when it considers it in the best interests of the company and stockholders to do so.
Equity Dilution
In granting equity compensation, the Committees goal is that net annual dilution from its equity compensation practices not exceed 2 percent. For this purpose, net annual dilution means the number of shares under equity awards granted by the Committee each year to all employees (net of award forfeitures), as a percentage of the shares of the companys outstanding common stock. Equity awards granted by the Committee in 2004 resulted in net annual dilution of 1.4 percent.
Performance Measures and Decision-Making Process
The company performance measures used by the Committee in determining executive compensation for 2004 were:
20
|
the absolute one-year and multi-year company performance as measured by market share, revenue growth, profit from operations and total shareholder return; |
|
one-year and multi-year performance on the same measures as compared with semiconductor competitors; |
|
one-year performance on the same measures as compared with other high-technology companies; and |
|
the companys progress toward its strategic goals. |
While many of the companies against which the Committee measures TIs performance (the competitor companies) are included in the S&P Information Technology Index appearing in the graph regarding total shareholder return on page 23, some are not in the index.
To make its decisions on executive compensation, the Committee reviewed in detail each of the performance measures above, reviewed compensation market data and received input on competitive compensation practices from its independent compensation consultant.
The Chairman and the CEO provided the entire board of directors with an assessment of their own performance with respect to the performance measures listed above, which the board considered in its assessment of their performance for 2004. The CEO reviewed the performance of the other executive officers with the Committee and made recommendations to the Committee regarding the components of their compensation.
Before making its compensation decisions, the Committee discussed levels of compensation for the Chairman, the CEO and the other executive officers with the full board of directors in an executive session attended solely by the independent directors.
Compensation Determinations
In 2004, TI grew its Semiconductor revenue faster than 75 percent of the semiconductor competitor companies, gaining share for the third consecutive year in the total semiconductor market (excluding commodity memory, which the company does not make). TI also gained market share in each of its key product categories of Analog and DSP, as well as in the major end-equipment categories of wireless, broadband and digital television, into which the companys semiconductors are sold.
Profit from operations more than doubled in 2004, reflecting strong growth in TIs markets and the companys gains in market share. As a percent of revenue, profit from operations improved 8 percentage points over the prior year, but was about median compared with the semiconductor competitor companies as TI continued to invest heavily in research and development for future products.
Total shareholder return, which declined 16 percent following a year in which it increased 96 percent, was above median compared to the semiconductor competitor companies.
With regard to progress toward strategic goals, TI improved its product and technology positions with new industry-leading offerings; strengthened its relationships with customers as evidenced by the gains in market share; and further improved the health of its balance sheet by adding almost $700 million to the companys total cash. The board of directors authorized the company to return some of this cash to stockholders with an increase in the dividend and a $1 billion stock repurchase, which began in the fourth quarter of 2004. In January 2005, the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $2 billion of TI stock.
21
The achievements of 2004 followed improvements in 2003, when the company increased its market share, improved profit from operations but at lower absolute levels than in 2004, and delivered total shareholder return in the top one-third of the semiconductor competitor companies.
Taking into account the companys performance and the executive officers contributions to that performance, the Committee set its targeted compensation levels so as to be commensurate with that relative performance.
In January 2004, Mr. Templeton was elected President and CEO of the company, effective May 1, 2004. Mr. Templeton succeeded Mr. Engibous, who led the company for eight years through its transition to becoming a leader in digital signal processing and analog technologies. Mr. Engibous continues to serve as Chairman. In that role, he has continued to work with TIs major customers and constituencies and helped guide the companys strategic direction.
Given the companys performance, both absolute and relative to competition, as well as the CEO transition, the Committee made the following determinations for 2004 with respect to each component of compensation for the executive officers:
Base SalaryIn keeping with its strategy of weighting more of total compensation to performance-based components, the Committees base salary decisions in 2004 were generally intended to provide salaries somewhat lower than the median level of salaries for similarly situated executive officers of competitor companies, or of divisions within competitor companies, of similar size (in terms of total revenue and market capitalization). The amounts set for base salary for Mr. Templeton and for Mr. Engibous, which were stated in the Compensation Committee Report last year, reflect the CEO transition. Mr. Templetons salary was set at $665,000 until May 1, 2004. At that time, it was adjusted to $825,000, which was below the median annual salary of CEOs of competitor companies. Mr. Engibous annual salary was set at the same level as 2003 ($900,000) until May 1, 2004, at which time it was reduced to $325,000. In setting Mr. Engibous salary as Chairman, the Committee considered his more limited role after May 1, 2004, the annual salaries of other TI executive officers, and the annual salaries of employee-chairmen of competitor companies.
Performance BonusThe Committee granted annual performance awards to be commensurate with the total annual cash compensation of executive officers in similarly performing competitor companies. The Committee took into account the amount paid to executive officers under the companys broad-based profit sharing program and set bonus amounts to bring total annual cash compensation to targeted levels. As a result, Mr. Templeton received a cash bonus of $1,400,000. Considering the CEO transition, the Committee used the same criteria in setting the bonus for Mr. Engibous as it used to set Mr. Templetons bonus. Mr. Engibous received a cash bonus of $550,000.
Long-Term CompensationThe Committee made long-term compensation decisions in January 2004. Considering Mr. Templetons continuing contribution to the companys performance and execution of its strategic plan, the Committee granted Mr. Templeton options for 700,000 shares and 100,000 restricted stock units, as reported in the Compensation Committee Report last year. The restricted stock units vest in four years. The equity compensation awards for Mr. Templeton were set to create a total long-term compensation opportunity comparable to those of CEOs of competitor companies. As was also reported in the Compensation Committee Report last year, the Committee awarded Mr. Engibous options for a total of 300,000 shares. In setting the equity compensation award for Mr. Engibous, the Committee considered his more limited role beginning May 1, 2004, the performance awards to other TI executive officers, and the performance awards to employee-chairmen of competitor companies. The value to be realized by Mr. Templeton and Mr. Engibous from their long-term compensation will depend solely on the long-term performance of the company.

COMPARISON OF TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN
This graph compares TIs total shareholder return with the S&P 500 Index
and the S&P Information Technology Index over a five-year period, beginning December 31, 1999, and ending December 31, 2004. The total shareholder
return assumes $100 invested at the beginning of the period in TI common stock, the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Information Technology Index. It
also assumes reinvestment of all dividends.
The Audit Committee of the board of directors has furnished the following report:
As noted in the committees charter, the companys management is responsible for preparing the companys financial statements. The companys independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the financial statements. The activities of the committee are in no way designed to supersede or alter those traditional responsibilities. The committees role does not provide any special assurances with regard to the companys financial statements, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of the audits performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.
23
The committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent accounting firm, as appropriate, (1) the audited financial statements and (2) managements report on internal control over financial reporting and the independent accounting firms related opinions.
The committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended.
The committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the firms independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young the firms independence.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004 for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL TO RATIFY
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
The Audit Committee of the board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to be the companys independent registered public accounting firm for 2005.
The board asks the stockholders to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will consider whether it should appoint another independent registered public accounting firm.
Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions, at the annual meeting. They have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so; they have indicated that, as of this date, they do not.
The company has paid fees to Ernst & Young for the services described below:
24
Pre-approval Policy. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firms independence.
Annually the independent registered public accounting firm and the Director of Internal Audits will present to the Audit Committee services expected to be performed by the firm over the next 12 months. The Audit Committee will review and, as it deems appropriate, pre-approve those services. The services and estimated fees are to be presented to the Audit Committee for consideration in the following categories: Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other (each as defined in Schedule 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). For each service listed in those categories, the Committee is to receive detailed documentation indicating the specific services to be provided. The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will review on at least a quarterly basis the services provided to date by the firm and the fees incurred for those services. The Audit Committee may also revise the list of pre-approved services and related fees from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chair (the Audit Committee does not delegate to management its responsibilities to pre-approve services). The Chair is to report pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee and seek ratification of such decisions at the Audit Committees next scheduled meeting.
The board of directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the companys independent registered public accounting firm for 2005.
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE TI EMPLOYEES 2005 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The full text of the proposed TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan is shown on Exhibit B to this proxy statement. The principal features of the Plan are summarized below. The terms of the Plan are substantially similar to those of the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan that was approved by stockholders at TIs 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan has been slightly modified from the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan to give the Compensation Committee of the board of directors greater flexibility in administering the Plan.
Plan Provisions. Each year during the term of the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, TI will make one or more offers to each eligible employee of options to purchase TI common stock through voluntary payroll deductions. Each eligible employee will be entitled to purchase up to a number or dollar amount of shares as the Compensation Committee may determine (but not exceeding the amount specified in Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) for any offering. The option price for each offering will be determined by the Compensation Committee and will not be less than (1) 85% of fair market value on the date of grant or (2) 85% of fair market value on the date the option is exercised, whichever is lower. The date of grant will be as determined by the Compensation Committee. The fair market value of TI stock will be determined by such method or procedure as established by the Compensation Committee.
The expiration date of the options will be determined for each offering by the Compensation Committee but will not in any event be later than 27 months from the date of grant of the option. The
25
term of an option will consist of an Enrollment Period, a Payroll Deduction
Period and an Exercise Day. The beginning and ending dates of each Enrollment Period and Payroll Deduction Period and the date of each Exercise Day
will be determined by the Compensation Committee. Generally, the election to participate will automatically renew for each subsequent offering until
cancelled by the employee. The employees election to participate in the offering will indicate the number or dollar amount of shares, as
applicable, for which such employee wishes to participate and will authorize payroll deductions to be made over the Payroll Deduction Period. During
the Payroll Deduction Period, the Committee may allow participants to cancel or reduce (or both) their payroll deduction authorizations. After
completion of the Payroll Deduction Period the option will be automatically exercised on the Exercise Day.
No more than 40,000,000 shares of TI common stock may be sold pursuant to the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan, subject to adjustments as described below. Up to 3,000,000 additional shares of TI common stock that were authorized for sale under the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan and that remain available for sale on the effective date of the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan may be sold pursuant to the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan. No offerings under the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan will be made following the completion of any offering pending on the effective date of the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan. In the event that the Compensation Committee determines that an adjustment is appropriate by reason of any dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other securities of the company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, it shall adjust any or all of (1) the number and type of shares that may be made subject to options, (2) the number and type of shares subject to outstanding options, and (3) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to any option.
Either authorized and unissued shares or issued shares reacquired by the company may be made subject to options under the Plan. Any shares not purchased prior to the termination of an option may be again subjected to an option under the Plan. An employee will not be granted an option under the Plan if the employee, immediately after the option is granted, owns stock having 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the company. No employee will be granted an option that permits the employee to accrue rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the company at a rate that exceeds $25,000 (or such other maximum as may be prescribed from time to time under the Internal Revenue Code) of fair market value of such stock (determined at the date of grant) for each calendar year in which the option is outstanding at any time in accordance with the provisions of Section 423(b)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code. No offering may be made under the Plan after April 21, 2015.
On or prior to the date of grant, the Compensation Committee will determine the effect of an employees termination of employment during the term of the offering. An option granted under the Plan may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the employee to whom granted, may be exercised only for the benefit of the employee.
All shares purchased under an option will be paid for in full at the time the option is exercised by transfer of the purchase price from the employees payroll deduction account.
Plan Benefits. Each executive officer qualifies for participation under the Plan and may be eligible to annually purchase up to $25,000 worth of the companys stock at a discount below the market price. However, participation in the Plan is voluntary and dependent upon each executive officers election to participate, and the benefit of participating will depend on the terms of the offerings (if any) and fair market value of the stock on the Exercise Day. Accordingly, future benefits that would
26
be received by the executive officers and other eligible employees under the
proposed Plan are not determinable at this time.
Tax Consequences. The Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, TI does not undertake to maintain such status throughout the term of the Plan.
In accordance with SEC rules, the following description of tax matters relating to the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan is provided. In general, a participant has no taxable event at the time of grant of an option or at the time of exercise of an option, but will realize taxable income at the time the participant sells the shares acquired under the Plan.
If the participant observes certain holding period requirements, the participants gain on sale will generally be taxed at capital gains rates, except that in certain circumstances a portion of the participants gain will be treated as ordinary income. Those circumstances will generally occur if the exercise price of the shares is established as a percentage less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at the beginning of the offering period, or if at the beginning of the period it is unknown what the exercise price will be, for example, if the exercise price can be determined only on the Exercise Day. The participants ordinary income will not be greater than the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares at the time of grant over the exercise price (or, if lower, the actual proceeds of sale over the actual purchase price of the shares). If the exercise price is a function of the value of the shares on the Exercise Day, the exercise price will be determined as if the option was exercised at the time of grant for purposes of calculating this limit. If the participant sells the shares only after satisfying the holding period requirements, the company will not be entitled to a deduction.
If the participant sells the shares before satisfying the holding period requirements, then the participant will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the Exercise Day. The company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The remainder of the proceeds of sale will be taxed at capital gains rates.
The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan.
PROPOSAL TO REAPPROVE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE
PERFORMANCE GOALS UNDER
THE TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 2000 LONG-TERM
INCENTIVE PLAN
The board asks stockholders to reapprove the material terms of performance goals that may apply to awards under the Texas Instruments 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2000 Plan). Stockholders approved the 2000 Plan at the companys annual meeting of stockholders in April 2000. Reapproval of the material terms of the performance goals is needed under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code if TI is to preserve its ability to take a federal tax deduction for certain compensation awards.
Section 162(m) imposes an annual deduction limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation paid to each of the chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated officers. The deduction limit does not apply to qualified performance-based compensation. Stock options granted under the 2000 Plan are considered qualified performance-based compensation because, among other things, the 2000 Plan was approved by stockholders and the stock options are granted at no less than fair market value on the grant date. (The same would be true for stock appreciation rights, if TI were to grant them under the 2000 Plan.) However, other types of awards, such as restricted stock units, must satisfy additional requirements. Specifically, the awards must be subject to performance goals, the material terms of which have been approved by stockholders within 5 years before the grant date.
27
Because almost 5 years have passed since approval of the 2000 Plan, the board is submitting this proposal to stockholders for reapproval of the material terms of performance goals set forth in the plan (the Performance Goals). If stockholders fail to approve the proposal, the company will still be able to make awards under the 2000 Plan, but awards (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) will be subject to the deduction limit under Section 162(m).
A copy of the 2000 Plan is included as Exhibit C to this proxy statement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this proposal have the same meaning as in the 2000 Plan. Share amounts below reflect an adjustment for a stock split in 2000, as permitted under the 2000 Plan.
Material Terms of Performance Goals under the 2000 Plan
Awards under the 2000 Plan may be granted to employees of the company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Directors who are not employees of the company are not eligible to participate in the 2000 Plan.
Under the 2000 Plan, any award may, but need not, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more performance goals. Performance-based compensation will be awarded if the Compensation Committee of the companys board of directors (the Committee), which consists exclusively of independent directors, determines that such awards are in the best interest of the company and its stockholders. Performance goals for awards will be determined by the Committee and will be designed to support TIs business strategy and align executives interests with stockholder interests.
Awards (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) will be subject to performance goals based on one or more of the following business criteria as applied, in the Committees discretion, to the company as a whole or a business unit of the company: Cash Flow, Cycle Time Improvement, Earnings Per Share, EBITDA, Manufacturing Process Yield, Market Share, Net Revenue Per Employee, Profit from Operations, Profit from Operations Dollar Growth, Profit from Operations Percentage Growth, Return on Capital, Return on Common Equity, Return on Net Assets, Revenue Growth or Total Stockholder Return.
Under the 2000 Plan, no award (other than a stock option or grant of stock appreciation rights) intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) may exceed $5,000,000 or, if denominated in shares, 4,000,000 shares. (To date, the Committee has made no award above 200,000 shares other than stock options.) Additionally, the 2000 Plan contains an aggregate limit of 13,400,000 shares over the life of the 2000 Plan for all stock-based awards other than stock options.
Summary of Other Features of the 2000 Plan
The summary below is intended to provide context for the Performance Goals that stockholders are being asked to reapprove.
Under the 2000 Plan, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance is 120,000,000 shares plus any shares remaining available to be granted under the companys 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan on the effective date of the 2000 Plan. The number of authorized shares may be adjusted in the case of a stock split, acquisition or similar event described in Section 5(e) of the 2000 Plan. As of December 31, 2004, 102,617,256 shares have been issued and 60,188,310 shares remain available for issuance under the 2000 Plan. No individual may receive stock option awards for more than 2,000,000 shares in any year. Other forms of equity compensation are subject to limitations described above.
The Committee has the sole discretion to administer the 2000 Plan, to grant awards under the 2000 Plan and determine the terms, timing, transferability and method of exercise of awards, as applicable.
28
Except in the case of awards made through assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired company, and except as a result of an adjustment event specified in Section 5(e), stock-based awards under the 2000 Plan will not have a grant or exercise price (or equivalent) of less than 100% of fair market value of the stock on the date the Committee makes the award. Determinations of fair market value under the 2000 Plan are made in accordance with methods or procedures established by the Committee.
No awards may be granted under the 2000 Plan after April 20, 2010, the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2000 Plan.
The board of directors may amend, alter, discontinue or terminate the 2000 Plan or any portion of the plan any time. However, stockholder approval must be obtained for any plan adjustment that would increase the number of shares available for awards except as permitted by Section 5(e) of the plan.
Tax Matters
In accordance with SEC rules, the following description of tax matters relating to the 2000 Plan is provided. In general, a participant has no taxable event at the time of grant of an option, but will realize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise. The company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the participant may not recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise (except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax) if he or she observes certain holding period requirements, in which case when the shares are sold the entire gain over the exercise price will be taxable at capital gains rates, and the company will not be entitled to a deduction. The recipient of a restricted stock unit award has no taxable event at the time of grant, but will realize ordinary income at the time such award is settled in an amount equal to the cash and/or the fair market value of the shares received in such settlement, and the company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.
The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to reapprove the material terms of the performance goals under the Texas Instruments 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Certain Business Relationships
Joseph F. Hubach, senior vice president, secretary and general counsel of the company, is the brother of Francis P. Hubach, Jr., partner in charge of the Dallas office of the law firm of Jones Day. The company, whose relationship with Jones Day began before Mr. J. Hubach joined the company, engaged the services of Jones Day during 2004. Mr. F. Hubach provides no services to the company.
Cost of Solicitation
The solicitation is made on behalf of the board of directors of the company. The company will pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses they incur in sending these proxy materials to you if you are a beneficial holder of our shares.
Without receiving additional compensation, officials and regular employees of the company may solicit proxies personally, by telephone, fax or e-mail from some stockholders if proxies are not promptly received. We have also hired Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost of $12,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Proposals of Stockholders
If you wish to submit a proposal for possible inclusion in the companys 2006 proxy material, we must receive your notice, in accordance with rules of the SEC, on or before November 11, 2005.
If you wish to submit a proposal at the 2006 annual meeting (but not seek inclusion of the proposal in the companys proxy material), we must receive your notice, in accordance with the companys by-laws, on or before January 21, 2006.
All suggestions from stockholders concerning the companys business are welcome and will be carefully considered by the companys management. To ensure that your suggestions receive appropriate review, the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee from time to time reviews correspondence from stockholders and managements responses. Stockholders are thereby given access at the board level without having to resort to formal stockholder proposals. Generally, the board prefers you present your views in this manner rather than through the process of formal stockholder proposals. Please see page 6 for information on contacting the board.
Quorum Requirement
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. If at least a majority of the shares of TI stock issued and outstanding and eligible to vote are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist.
31
Vote Required
The twelve nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast by those entitled to vote will be elected as directors.
For all other matters submitted at the meeting (i.e., the board proposals to ratify the appointment of the companys independent registered public accounting firm for 2005, to approve the TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan and to reapprove the material terms of the performance goals under the Texas Instruments 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan), an affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or by proxy is necessary for approval.
We do not expect any matters to be presented for a vote at the annual meeting other than those listed above. If you grant a proxy, the persons named in the proxy will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.
Under Delaware law and the companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, whether those stockholders vote FOR or AGAINST or abstain from voting, will be counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval of such matters. The total number of votes cast FOR each of these matters will be counted for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. An abstention from voting on a matter by a stockholder present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting has the same legal effect as a vote AGAINST the matter even though the stockholder or interested parties analyzing the results of the voting may interpret such a vote differently. TI has appointed independent inspectors of election to tabulate the voting for the meeting.
Benefit Plan Voting
If you are a participant in the TI Contribution and 401(k) Savings Plan, or the TI 401(k) Savings Plan, you are a named fiduciary under the plans and are entitled to direct the voting of shares allocable to your accounts under these plans. The trustee administering your plan will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you wish to instruct the trustee on the voting of shares held for your accounts, you should do so by April 18, 2005, in the manner described in the notice of meeting.
Additionally, participants under the plans are designated as named fiduciaries for the purpose of voting TI stock held under the plans for which no voting direction is received. TI shares held by the TI 401(k) savings plans for which no voting instructions are received by April 18, 2005, will be voted in the same proportions as the shares in the plans for which voting instructions have been received by that date.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires certain persons, including the companys directors and executive officers, to file reports with the SEC regarding beneficial ownership of certain equity securities of the company. During 2004, all Section 16(a) reports were timely filed.
Telephone and Internet Voting
Registered Stockholders and Benefit Plan Participants. Stockholders with shares registered directly with Computershare (the companys transfer agent) and participants who beneficially own shares in a company benefit plan may vote telephonically by calling (800) 690-6903 (within the U.S. and Canada only, toll-free) or via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com.
32
The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders identities, to allow stockholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that stockholders instructions have been recorded properly. The company has been advised by counsel that the telephone and Internet voting procedures, which have been made available through ADP Investor Communication Services, are consistent with the requirements of applicable law.
Stockholders with Shares Registered in the Name of a Brokerage Firm or Bank. A number of brokerage firms and banks offer telephone and Internet voting options. These programs may differ from the program provided to registered stockholders and benefit plan participants. Check the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record to see which options are available to you.
Stockholders voting via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from telephone companies and Internet access providers, that must be borne by the stockholder.
Stockholders Sharing the Same Address
To reduce the expenses of delivering duplicate proxy materials, we are taking advantage of the SECs householding rules that permit us to deliver only one set of proxy materials to stockholders who share an address unless otherwise requested. If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one set of proxy materials, you may request a separate copy of these materials at no cost to you by calling Investor Relations at (972) 995-3773 or by writing to Texas Instruments Incorporated, P.O. Box 660199, MS 8657, Dallas, TX 75266-0199, Attn: Investor Relations. For future annual meetings, you may request separate voting materials, or request that we send only one set of proxy materials to you if you are receiving multiple copies, by calling (800) 542-1061 or writing to Investor Relations at the address given above.
Electronic Delivery of Proxy Materials
As an alternative to receiving printed copies of these materials in future years, we are pleased to offer stockholders the opportunity to receive proxy mailings electronically. To request electronic delivery, please vote via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com and, when prompted, enroll to receive or access proxy materials electronically in future years.
After the meeting date, stockholders holding shares through a broker or bank may request electronic delivery by visiting www.icsdelivery.com/ti and entering information for each account held by a bank or broker. If you are a registered stockholder or a participant in a TI benefit plan and would like to enroll, please visit www.computershare.com/us/sc/txnb or call TI Investor Relations at (972) 995-3773 for more information.

EXHIBIT B
The TI Employees 2005 Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) is designed to encourage in all Employees a proprietary interest in the Company. The Plan provides for all eligible Employees the option to purchase shares of the common stock of TI through voluntary systematic payroll deductions. The options provided to participants under the Plan shall be in addition to regular salary, profit sharing, pension, life insurance, special payments or other benefits related to a participants employment with the Company. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder (the Code), but the Company does not undertake to maintain such status through the Plan term.
For the purposes of the Plan unless otherwise indicated, TI shall mean Texas Instruments Incorporated, Company shall mean TI and its subsidiaries where at least eighty percent of their voting stock is owned directly or indirectly by TI, Employee shall mean an individual who is a full-time or part-time employee of the Company, and Board shall mean the Board of Directors of TI.
Eligibility
All Employees of TI, and such of its subsidiaries as the Committee described below shall from time to time designate, who are Employees on the date of grant of the option shall be eligible to participate in offerings of options under the Plan. For each offering, the date of grant shall be as determined by the Committee. Directors who are not full-time or part-time officers or Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
Administration of Plan
The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board which shall be known as the Compensation Committee (the Committee). The Committee shall be appointed by a majority of the whole Board and shall consist of not less than three directors. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of the Committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan. It may issue rules and regulations for administration of the Plan. It shall meet at such times and places as it may determine. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum and all decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties, including the Company, the stockholders and employees.
The Committee shall have the full and exclusive right to establish the terms of each offering of common stock of TI under the Plan except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan. The Committee may delegate such power, authority and rights with respect to the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate to one or more members of the management of TI (including, without limitation, a committee of one or more members of management appointed by the Committee); provided, however, that any delegation to management shall conform with the requirements of applicable law and stock exchange regulations. The Committee may also recommend to the Board revisions of the Plan.
Expenses of Administration
Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, any broker commissions, fees or other expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of an option hereunder or as a result of the opening or maintenance of accounts for Employees and the purchase and sale of common stock of TI on behalf of Employees shall be paid by the Employee who incurs the expenses and any other expenses of the administration of the Plan shall be borne by TI.
B-1
Amendments
The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, any part thereof or any option thereunder as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company, provided, however, that unless the stockholders of TI shall have first approved thereof, (i) the total number of shares for which options may be exercised under the Plan shall not be increased or decreased, except as adjusted below under Adjustments, and (ii) no amendment shall be made which shall allow an option price for offerings under the Plan to be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock of TI on the date of grant of the options or 85% of the fair market value of the common stock of TI on the date on which an option is exercised, if lower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may adopt and amend stock purchase sub-plans with respect to Employees employed outside the United States with such provisions as the Committee may deem appropriate to conform with local laws, practices and procedures, and to permit exclusion of certain Employees from participation. All such sub-plans shall be subject to the limitations on the amount of stock that may be issued under the Plan and, except to the extent otherwise provided in such plans, shall be subject to all of the provisions set forth herein.
Offerings
Each year during the term of the Plan, unless the Committee determines otherwise, TI will make one or more offerings in which options to purchase TI common stock will be granted under the Plan.
Limitations on Grants
No more than 40,000,000 shares of TI common stock, plus a maximum of 3,000,000 Net Shares, may be sold pursuant to options granted under the Plan, subject to adjustments as described below. Either authorized and unissued shares or issued shares heretofore or hereafter acquired by TI may be made subject to option under the Plan. If for any reason any option under the Plan terminates in whole or in part, shares subject to such terminated option may be again subjected to an option under the Plan. As used herein, Net Shares means any of the shares of TI common stock authorized for sale under the Texas Instruments 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2002 Plan) that remain available for sale on the effective date of the Plan, not including shares that are sold under any 2002 Plan offering that is pending on such date.
Adjustments
In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of TI, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares or other securities of TI, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares which may be made the subject of options, (ii) the number and type of shares subject to outstanding options, and (iii) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to any option or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an option.
Terms and Conditions of Options
(1) An option price per share for each offering shall be determined by the Committee on or prior to the date of grant of the option which shall in no instance be less than (a) 85% of fair market value of TI common stock on the date the option is granted, or (b) 85% of fair market value of TI common
B-2
stock on the date the option is exercised, whichever is lower. The fair market value on the date on which an option is granted or exercised shall be determined by such methods or procedures as shall be established by the Committee prior to or on the date of grant of the option. |
(2) The expiration date of the options granted in each offering shall be determined by the Committee prior to or on the date of grant of the options but in any event shall not be more than 27 months after the date of grant of the options.
(3) Each option shall entitle the Employee to purchase up to that number of shares which could be purchased at the option price as the Committee shall determine for each offering (but not to exceed the amount specified in Section 423(b) of the Code). Alternatively, or in combination with setting a maximum number of shares, the Committee may choose to determine a maximum dollar amount that could be used to purchase shares for each offering (but not to exceed the amount specified in Section 423(b) of the Code). Each Employee may elect to participate for less than the maximum number of shares or dollar amount specified by the Committee. The Committee shall determine prior to or on the date of grant of the options the consequences of an Employees election to participate for less than the maximum and whether the Employee shall be entitled to purchase fractional shares.
(4) The term of each offering shall consist of the following three periods:
The beginning and ending dates of each Enrollment Period and Payroll Deduction Period and the date of each Exercise Day shall be determined by the Committee.
(5) Each eligible Employee who desires to participate in an offering shall elect to do so by completing and delivering by the end of the Enrollment Period to a person or firm designated by the Treasurer of TI a payroll deduction authorization in the form (including without limitation, telephonic and electronic transmission, utilization of voice response systems and computer entry) prescribed by the Committee authorizing payroll deductions during the Payroll Deduction Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such election and payroll deduction authorization shall constitute an election and payroll deduction authorization to participate in the current offering and all subsequent offerings under the Plan until the Employee provides a cancellation of such authorization during a subsequent Enrollment Period.
(6) TI shall maintain or arrange for the maintenance of payroll deduction accounts for all participating Employees.
(7) On the Exercise Day, the options of each participating Employee to which such Exercise Day relates shall be automatically exercised in full without the need for the participating employee to take any action.
(8) Upon exercise of an option, the shares shall be paid for in full by transfer of the purchase price from the Employees payroll deduction account to the account of TI, and any balance in the Employees payroll deduction account shall be paid to the Employee in cash or applied to subsequent offerings.
B-3
(9) The Committee may allow participating Employees to cancel or reduce, or both, their payroll deduction authorizations. The Committee shall determine the consequences of such cancellations or reductions on the participating Employees enrollment in subsequent offerings.
(10) The Committee shall determine on or prior to the date of grant of options the consequences of the termination of employment of a participating Employee for any reason, including death, during the term of an offering.
(11) An Employee will have none of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of TI with respect to the shares of common stock subject to an option under the Plan until such shares of common stock have been transferred or issued to the Employee or to a designated broker for the Employees account on the books of TI.
(12) An option granted under the Plan may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Employee to whom granted, may be exercised only for the benefit of the Employee.
(13) Each option granted shall be evidenced by an instrument in such form (including without limitation, telephonic and electronic transmission, utilization of voice response systems and computer entry) as the Committee shall approve which shall be dated the date of grant and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
(14) No Employee shall be granted an option hereunder if such Employee, immediately after the option is granted, owns stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of TI, computed in accordance with Section 423(b)(3) of the Code. No Employee shall be granted an option that permits the Employees rights to purchase common stock under all employee stock purchase plans of TI to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 (or such other maximum as may be prescribed from time to time by the Code) of fair market value of such common stock (determined at the date of grant) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time in accordance with the provisions of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.
All amounts held by TI in payroll deduction accounts under the Plan may be used for any corporate purpose of TI.
The obligation of TI to sell and deliver common stock under the Plan is subject to applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale or delivery of such common stock. The Company may, without liability to participating Employees, defer or cancel delivery of shares or take other action it deems appropriate in cases where applicable laws, regulations or stock exchange rules impose constraints on the normal Plan operations or delivery of shares.
No offering shall be made hereunder after April 21, 2015. Further, no offering hereunder shall be made after any day upon which participating Employees elect to participate for a number of shares equal to or greater than the number of shares remaining available for purchase. If the number of shares for which Employees elect to participate shall be greater than the shares remaining available, the available shares shall at the end of the Enrollment Period be allocated among such participating Employees pro rata on the basis of the number of shares for which each has elected to participate.
