Strategic rationale

  

•      Together, the two companies offer customers an analog portfolio of unmatched depth and breadth for almost any electronic system.

 

•      The combined sales force will be 10 times larger than National’s current sales force and can unlock National’s growth by exposing its products to more customers in more markets.

 

•      TI believes the combined, larger company can grow significantly faster than the market.


Financial terms   

•      TI will acquire National for $25 per share, or about $6.5 billion total. National has 260 million shares, including 243 million shares outstanding plus additional stock options, restricted shares and other share equivalents.

 

•      This is an all-cash transaction, funded with a combination of cash balances and debt.

 

•      The acquisition is subject to U.S. and international regulatory approvals, and it must be approved by National’s shareholders.

 

•      The transaction is expected to close in 6 to 9 months.

Seamless transition for customers   

•      42,000 products with a wide range of performance, power and packaging options

 

•      One face and one place for all products and support tools

 

•      A single sales force for face-to-face support

 

•      Manufacturing capacity to support customers’ growth

 

•      No requalification of products, no obsolescence of parts, no part number changes
