2019 Annual Report
Notice of 2020 Annual Meeting
and Proxy Statement
To our shareholders, colleagues, customers and partners:
Our long-standing passion and ambitions
For decades, Texas Instruments has operated with a passion to create a better world by making electronics more
affordable through semiconductors. We were pioneers in the transition of the world from vacuum tubes to transistors and
then to integrated circuits. As each generation became more reliable, more affordable and lower in power, semiconductors
were used by a growing number of customers and markets. This passion is alive today as we help our customers develop
electronics and new applications, particularly in industrial and automotive markets. It’s why we do what we do.
Our founders had the foresight to know that passion alone was not enough. Building a great company required a special
culture to thrive for the long term. For many years, we’ve run our business with three overarching ambitions in mind. First,
we will act like owners who will own the company for decades. Second, we will adapt and succeed in a world that’s ever
changing. And third, we will be a company that we’re personally proud to be a part of and would want as our neighbor.
When we’re successful in achieving these ambitions, our employees, customers, communities and shareholders all win.
Building a stronger TI
For almost a decade, we’ve had a clear plan for building the company stronger by focusing on analog and embedded
products and the industrial and automotive markets, because they’re the best products and the best markets for
semiconductors. We’ve focused our investments in these strategic areas and in strengthening our competitive advantages:
manufacturing and technology; portfolio breadth; market reach; and diverse and long-lived products, markets and
customer positions. Together, these competitive advantages separate us from our peers and are difficult to replicate.
2019 performance
Our performance in 2019 showed what our business model can deliver, despite headwinds from trade tensions and an
industry downturn. After investing in our people, products and capacity for the future, we again returned more than 100%
of free cash flow to our shareholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases. With free cash flow of $5.8 billion,
or 40% of revenue, we returned $6.0 billion. Our quarterly dividend increased 17%, marking the 16th year of dividend
increases. In addition, our balance sheet remained strong. We will continue to be disciplined in executing our capital
management strategy: investing in and strengthening our competitive advantages, growing free cash flow per share over
the long term and returning free cash flow to the owners of the company.
Looking ahead
We remain committed to pursuing our passion to create a better world by making electronics more affordable through
semiconductors. You can count on us to do this by staying true to our ambitions to think like owners for the long term,
adapt in a world that’s ever changing and behave in a way that makes our stakeholders proud. When we’re successful,
our employees, customers, communities and shareholders all win.
Rich Templeton
Chairman, president and CEO
Note: Free cash flow (non-GAAP) = Cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. See page 19 for reconciliation.

PART I
ITEM 1. Business
We design and make semiconductors that we sell to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. Our operations
began in 1930, and we are incorporated in Delaware. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, we have design, manufacturing or sales
operations in more than 30 countries. Our two reportable segments are Analog and Embedded Processing, and we report the
results of our remaining business activities in Other. In 2019, we generated $14.38 billion of revenue.

For many years, we have run our business with three overarching ambitions in mind. First, we will act like owners who will own
the company for decades. Second, we will adapt and succeed in a world that is ever changing. And third, we will be a company
that we are personally proud to be a part of and that we would want as our neighbor. When we are successful in achieving these
ambitions, our employees, customers, communities and shareholders all win.
Our business model is designed around four sustainable competitive advantages that we believe, in combination, put us in a
unique class of companies. These advantages include (i) a strong foundation of manufacturing and technology, (ii) a broad portfolio
of differentiated analog and embedded processing products, (iii) reach of market channels including our sales force and TI.com and
(iv) diversity and longevity of our products, markets and customer positions. Our strategic focus, and where we invest the majority
of our resources, is on Analog and Embedded Processing, with a particular emphasis on designing and selling those products into
the industrial and automotive markets. We believe these markets represent the best growth opportunities over the next decade or
longer, due to increasing semiconductor content. Additionally, analog and embedded processing products sold into industrial and
automotive markets provide long product life cycles, intrinsic diversity and less capital-intensive manufacturing, which we believe
offer stability, profitability and strong cash generation.
This business model is the foundation of our capital management strategy, which is based on our belief that free cash flow growth,
especially on a per-share basis, is important for maximizing shareholder value over the long term. We also believe that free cash
flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) will be valued only if it is productively invested in the business or
returned to shareholders. TI’s business model puts us in a unique class of companies with the ability to grow, generate cash and
return that cash to shareholders.
The combined effect of our ambitions, business model and sustainable competitive advantages is that we have continued to build a
stronger company. Over time, we have gained market share in Analog and Embedded Processing and grown and returned all free
cash flow to our owners.
Product information
Semiconductors are electronic components that serve as the building blocks inside modern electronic systems and equipment.
Semiconductors, generally known as “chips,” combine multiple transistors to form a complete electronic circuit. We have tens of
thousands of products that are used to accomplish many different things, such as converting and amplifying signals, interfacing
with other devices, managing and distributing power, processing data, canceling noise and improving signal resolution. This broad
portfolio includes products that are integral to almost all electronic equipment.
Our segments represent groups of similar products that are combined on the basis of similar design and development
requirements, product characteristics, manufacturing processes and distribution channels. Our segments also reflect how
management allocates resources and measures results.
Analog
Our Analog segment generated $10.22 billion of revenue in 2019. Analog semiconductors change real-world signals, such as
sound, temperature, pressure or images, by conditioning them, amplifying them and often converting them to a stream of digital
data that can be processed by other semiconductors, such as embedded processors. Analog semiconductors are also used to
manage power in all electronic equipment by converting, distributing, storing, discharging, isolating and measuring electrical
energy, whether the equipment is plugged into a wall or using a battery. Our Analog products are used in many markets,
particularly industrial, automotive and personal electronics.

TE X A S I N S T R U M E N T S • 2 0 1 9 F O R M 1 0 - K
Sales of our Analog products generated about 71% of our revenue in 2019. According to external sources, the market for analog
semiconductors was about $54 billion in 2019. Our Analog segment’s revenue in 2019 was about 19% of this fragmented market,
which is the leading position. We believe we are well positioned to increase our market share over time.
Our Analog segment includes the following major product lines: Power, Signal Chain and High Volume.
Power
Power includes products that help customers manage power in electronic systems. Our broad portfolio is designed to manage
power requirements across different voltage levels using battery management solutions, portable components, power supply
controls, point-of-load products, switches and interfaces, integrated protection devices, high-voltage products and mobile lighting
and display products.
Signal Chain
Signal Chain includes products that sense, condition and measure real-world signals to allow information to be transferred or
converted for further processing and control. Our Signal Chain products, which serve a variety of end markets, include amplifiers,
data converters, interface products, motor drives, clocks and sensing products.
High Volume
High Volume includes integrated analog and standard products that are primarily sold into markets such as personal electronics,
industrial and automotive. These products support applications like displays and automotive safety systems.

Embedded Processing
Our Embedded Processing segment generated $2.94 billion of revenue in 2019. Embedded Processing products are the “brains”
of many types of electronic equipment. Embedded processors are designed to handle specific tasks and can be optimized for
various combinations of performance, power and cost, depending on the application. Our devices vary from simple, low-cost
microcontrollers used in applications such as electric toothbrushes to highly specialized, complex devices used in automotive
applications such as infotainment systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Our Embedded Processing products
are used in many markets, particularly industrial and automotive.
An important characteristic of our Embedded Processing products is that our customers often invest their own research and
development (R&D) to write software that operates on our products. This investment tends to increase the length of our customer
relationships because many customers prefer to re-use software from one product generation to the next.
Sales of Embedded Processing products generated about 20% of our revenue in 2019. According to external sources, the market
for embedded processors was about $18 billion in 2019. Our Embedded Processing segment’s revenue in 2019 was about 16% of
this fragmented market, which is among the leaders. We believe we are well positioned to increase our market share over time.
Our Embedded Processing segment includes the following major product lines: Connected Microcontrollers and Processors.
Connected Microcontrollers
Connected Microcontrollers includes microcontrollers, microcontrollers with integrated wireless capabilities and stand-alone
wireless connectivity solutions. Microcontrollers are self-contained systems with a processor core, memory and peripherals that
are designed to control a set of specific tasks for electronic equipment.
Processors
Processors includes digital signal processors (DSPs) and applications processors. DSPs perform mathematical computations
almost instantaneously to process or improve digital data. Applications processors are designed for specific computing activity.
Other
We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other, which includes operating segments that do not meet the
quantitative thresholds for individually reportable segments and cannot be aggregated with other operating segments. Other
generated $1.22 billion of revenue in 2019 and includes revenue from DLP® products (primarily used in projectors to create high-
definition images), calculators and certain custom semiconductors known as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

Despite recent consolidation, the analog and embedded processing markets remain highly fragmented. As a result, we face
significant global competition from dozens of large and small companies, including both broad-based suppliers and niche
suppliers. Our competitors also include emerging companies, particularly in Asia, that sell products into the same markets in which
we operate.

We believe that competitive performance in the semiconductor market generally depends on several factors, including the breadth
of a company’s product line, the strength and depth of its channels to market, technological innovation, product development
execution, technical support, customer service, quality, reliability, manufacturing capacity and capabilities and price. In addition,
manufacturing process and package technologies that provide differentiated levels of performance and a structural cost advantage
are competitive factors for our Analog products, and customers’ prior investments in software development is a competitive factor
for our Embedded Processing products.
Product cycle
The global semiconductor market is characterized by constant, though generally incremental, advances in product designs and
manufacturing processes. Semiconductor prices and manufacturing costs tend to decline over time as manufacturing processes
and product life cycles mature.
Market cycle
The “semiconductor cycle” refers to the ebb and flow of supply and demand and the building and depleting of inventories. The
semiconductor market historically has been characterized by periods of tight supply caused by strengthening demand and/or
insufficient manufacturing capacity, followed by periods of surplus inventory caused by weakening demand and/or excess
manufacturing capacity. These are typically referred to as upturns and downturns in the semiconductor cycle. The semiconductor
cycle could be affected by the significant time and money required to build and maintain semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
We employ several strategies to dampen the effect of the semiconductor cycle on TI. We focus our resources on analog and
embedded processing products and industrial and automotive markets. These products and markets serve a large and diverse
customer base, which reduces our dependence on the performance of a single market or small group of customers. Industrial and
automotive markets also benefit from long product life cycles, which help to smooth the impact of cyclicality. In addition, we plan
manufacturing facility and equipment expansion ahead of demand, as well as utilize consignment inventory programs to give us
improved insight into customer demand and more accurately manage factory loadings.
Seasonality
Our revenue is subject to some seasonal variation. Historically, our sequential revenue growth rate tends to be weaker in the first
and fourth quarters when compared with the second and third quarters.
Customers, sales and distribution
We sell our products to about 100,000 customers. Our customer base is diverse, with more than one-third of our revenue derived
from customers outside our largest 100.
We market and sell our products through direct sales channels, including our broad sales force and our website, and through
distributors. In 2019, about 65% of our sales were fulfilled through our distributors, and they maintain inventory of our products.
Over the past several years, we have been investing in new capabilities and evolving our distribution network to better align with
our strategy to establish closer, more direct relationships with our customers. Closer direct customer relationships give us better
insight into customer needs and allow us to provide better service and greater assurance of supply, among other benefits. As we
expand these direct customer relationships over the next several years, we will have less business flowing through the distribution
channel and therefore will require fewer distributors.
Our investments in new and improved capabilities to directly support our customers include website and e-commerce
enhancements as well as inventory consignment programs and order fulfillment services.
Manufacturing
Semiconductor manufacturing begins with a sequence of photolithographic and chemical processing steps that fabricate a number
of semiconductor devices on a thin silicon wafer. Each device on the wafer is packaged and tested. The entire process takes place
in highly specialized facilities, with most products requiring about two to three months for completion.
TE X AS I NSTRU ME NTS • 2019 F ORM 10 -K

We own and operate semiconductor manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia, Japan and Europe. These include both wafer
fabrication and assembly/test facilities. Our facilities require substantial investment to construct and are largely fixed-cost assets
once in operation.
We invest in manufacturing technologies and do most of our manufacturing in-house. This strategic decision to directly control our
manufacturing helps ensure a consistent supply of products for our customers and also allows us to invest in technology that
differentiates the features of our products. We have focused on creating a competitive manufacturing cost advantage by investing
in our advanced analog 300-millimeter capacity, which has about a 40% cost advantage per unpackaged chip over 200-millimeter.
To strengthen this advantage, we are moving forward with our plan to build our new 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility in
Richardson, Texas, as 300-millimeter wafers will continue to support the majority of our Analog growth.
We expect to continue to maintain sufficient internal manufacturing capacity to meet the majority of our production needs and to
obtain manufacturing equipment to support new technology developments and revenue growth. To supplement our manufacturing
capacity and maximize our responsiveness to customer demand, we use the capacity of outside suppliers, commonly known as
foundries, and subcontractors. In 2019, we sourced about 20% of our total wafers from external foundries, most of which support
our Embedded Processing segment, and about 40% of our assembly/test services from subcontractors.

Inventory
Our objectives for inventory are to maintain high levels of customer service and stable lead times, minimize inventory obsolescence
and improve manufacturing asset utilization. To meet these objectives and to allow greater flexibility in periods of high demand, we
build ahead of demand long-lived, low-volume products and maintain inventory of other products that have a broad customer base
and low risk of obsolescence. Further, we have improved insight into demand and are better able to manage our factory loadings
because over time we have increased consignment inventory programs and are building closer, more direct relationships with our
customers. In 2019, about 65% of TI revenue was fulfilled from consignment programs. Our strategy and expected customer
demand will cause our inventory levels to fluctuate over time.
Backlog
We define backlog as of a particular date as purchase orders with a customer-requested delivery date within a specified length of
time. Our backlog at any particular date may not be indicative of revenue for any future period. As customer requirements and
industry conditions change, orders may be subject to cancellation or modification of terms such as pricing, quantity or delivery
date. Customer order placement practices continually evolve based on customers’ individual business needs and capabilities, as
well as industry supply and capacity considerations. Further, our consignment programs do not result in backlog because the order
occurs at the same time as delivery, i.e., when the customer pulls the product from consigned inventory. Our backlog of orders
was $1.0 billion at December 31, 2019, and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2018.
Raw materials
We purchase materials, parts and supplies from a number of suppliers. In some cases we purchase such items from sole-source
suppliers. The materials, parts and supplies essential to our business are generally available at present, and we believe that such
materials, parts and supplies will be available in the foreseeable future.
Intellectual property
We own many patents, and have many patent applications pending, in the United States and other countries in fields relating to our
business. We have developed a strong, broad-based patent portfolio and continually add patents to that portfolio. We also have
license agreements, which vary in duration, involving rights to our portfolio or those of other companies. We do not consider our
business materially dependent upon any one patent or patent license.
We often participate in industry initiatives to set technical standards. Our competitors may participate in the same initiatives.
Participation in these initiatives may require us to license certain of our patents to other companies on reasonable and
non-discriminatory terms.
We own trademarks that are used in the conduct of our business. These trademarks are valuable assets, the most important of
which are “Texas Instruments” and our corporate monogram.

ITEM 1A. Risk factors
You should read the following risk factors in conjunction with the factors discussed elsewhere in this and other of our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in materials incorporated by reference into these filings. These risk factors are
intended to highlight certain factors that may affect our financial condition and results of operations and are not meant to be an
exhaustive discussion of risks that apply to TI, a company with broad international operations. Like many companies, we are
susceptible to a potential downturn associated with macroeconomic weakness, which may affect our performance and the
performance of our customers. Similarly, the price of our securities is subject to volatility due to fluctuations in general market
conditions, actual financial results that do not meet our and/or the investment community’s expectations, changes in our and/or
the investment community’s expectations for our future results, dividends or share repurchases, and other factors, many of which
are beyond our control.

Our global operations subject us to risks associated with domestic or international political, social,
economic or other conditions.
We have facilities in more than 30 countries. About 85% of our revenue comes from shipments to locations outside the United
States; shipments of products into China represent a large portion of our revenue. Certain countries where we operate have
experienced, and other countries may experience, increasing protectionism that affects global trade and macroeconomic
conditions through the enactment of tariffs, import or export restrictions, trade embargoes and sanctions, restrictions on cross-
border investment and other trade barriers. This protectionism impacts our ability to deliver products and product support into
China, could cause Chinese customers to seek alternate suppliers and could otherwise adversely affect our operations and
financial results.
We are exposed to political, social and economic conditions, security risks, terrorism or other hostile acts, health conditions,
labor conditions, and possible disruptions in transportation, communications and information technology networks of the various
countries in which we operate. In addition, our global operations expose us to periods when the U.S. dollar significantly fluctuates
in relation to the non-U.S. currencies in which we transact business. The remeasurement of non-U.S. dollar transactions can have
an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We face substantial competition that requires us to respond rapidly to product development and
pricing pressures.
We face intense technological and pricing competition in the markets in which we operate. We expect this competition will
continue to increase from large competitors and from small competitors serving niche markets, and also from emerging
companies, particularly in Asia, that sell products into the same markets in which we operate. For example, we may face increased
competition as a result of China actively promoting and reshaping its domestic semiconductor industry through policy changes and
investment. These actions, in conjunction with trade tensions, may restrict us from participating in the China market or may
prevent us from competing effectively. Certain competitors possess sufficient financial, technical and management resources to
develop and market products that may compete favorably against our products, and consolidation among our competitors may
allow them to compete more effectively. The price and product development pressures that result from competition may lead to
reduced profit margins and lost business opportunities in the event that we are unable to match the price declines or cost
efficiencies, or meet the technological, product, support, software or manufacturing advancements of our competitors.
Changes in expected demand for our products could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations.
Our customers include companies in a wide range of end markets and sectors within those markets. If demand in one or more sectors
within our end markets declines or the rate of growth slows, our results of operations may be adversely affected. The cyclical nature of
the semiconductor market occasionally leads to significant and rapid increases and decreases in product demand. Additionally, the
loss or significant curtailment of purchases by one or more of our large customers, including curtailments due to a change in the
design or manufacturing sourcing policies or practices of these customers, the timing of customer or distributor inventory adjustments,
or trade restrictions, may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our results of operations also might suffer because of a general decline in customer demand resulting from, for example:
uncertainty regarding the stability of global credit and financial markets; natural events or domestic or international political, social,
economic or other conditions; breaches of customer information technology systems that disrupt customer operations; or a
customer’s inability to access credit markets and other sources of needed liquidity.
Our ability to match inventory and production with the product mix needed to fill orders may affect our ability to meet a quarter’s
revenue forecast. In addition, when responding to customers’ requests for shorter shipment lead times, we manufacture products
based on forecasts of customers’ demands. These forecasts are based on multiple assumptions. If we inaccurately forecast
customer demand, we may hold inadequate, excess or obsolete inventory that would reduce our profit margins and adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results and our reputation could be adversely affected by breaches, disruptions or other
incidents relating to our information technology systems.
Breaches, disruptions or other incidents relating to our information technology systems or the systems of our customers, vendors
and other third parties could be caused by factors such as computer viruses, system failures, restricted network access, unauthorized
access, terrorism, employee malfeasance, or human error. These events could, among other things, compromise our information
technology networks; result in corrupt or lost data or the unauthorized release of our, our customers’ or our suppliers’ confidential or
proprietary information; cause a disruption to our manufacturing and other operations; result in the release of personal data; or cause
us to incur costs associated with increased protection, remediation, regulatory inquiries or penalties, or claims for damages, any of
which could adversely affect our operating results and our reputation. Cybersecurity or other threats to our information technology
systems or the systems of our customers, vendors and other third parties are frequent and constantly evolving, thereby increasing the
difficulty of defending against them.
Our ability to successfully implement strategic, business and organizational changes could affect our
business plans and results of operations.
From time to time, we undertake strategic, business and organizational changes, including acquisitions, divestitures and
restructuring actions, to support or carry out our objectives. Our failure to successfully implement these changes could adversely
affect our business plans and operating results. We may not achieve or sustain the expected growth, cost savings or other benefits
of strategic, business and organizational changes, and restructuring charges could differ materially in amount and timing from our
expectations.
Our results of operations could be affected by natural events in the locations in which we operate.
We have manufacturing, data and design facilities and other operations in locations subject to natural occurrences such as
severe weather, geological events or health epidemics that could disrupt operations. A natural disaster that results in a prolonged
disruption, particularly where we have principal manufacturing and design operations, as listed in Item 2. Properties, may
adversely affect our results and financial condition.
Rapid technological change in markets we serve requires us to develop new technologies and products.
Rapid technological change in markets we serve could contribute to shortened product life cycles and a decline in average selling
prices of our products. Our results of operations depend in part upon our ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market
innovative products in a timely manner. We make significant investments in research and development to improve existing
technology and products, develop new products to meet changing customer demands, and improve our production processes.
In some cases, we might not realize a return or the expected return on our investments because they are generally made before
commercial viability can be assured. Further, projects that are commercially viable may not contribute to our operating results
until at least a few years after they are completed.
We face supply chain and manufacturing risks.
We rely on third parties to supply us with goods and services in a cost-effective and timely manner. Our access to needed goods
and services may be adversely affected by potential disputes with suppliers or disruptions in our suppliers’ operations as a
result of, for example: quality excursions; uncertainty regarding the stability of global credit and financial markets; domestic or
international political, social, economic and other conditions; natural events or health epidemics in the locations in which our
suppliers operate; or limited or delayed access to key raw materials, natural resources and utilities. Additionally, a breach or
other incident relating to our suppliers’ information technology systems could result in a release of confidential or proprietary
information. If our suppliers are unable to access credit markets and other sources of needed liquidity, we may be unable to obtain
needed supplies, collect accounts receivable or access needed technology.
In particular, our manufacturing processes and critical manufacturing equipment require that certain key raw materials, natural
resources and utilities be available. Limited or delayed access to and high costs of these items could adversely affect our results of
operations. Our products contain materials that are subject to conflict minerals reporting requirements. Our relationships with
customers and suppliers may be adversely affected if we are unable to describe our products as conflict-free. Additionally, our costs
may increase if one or more of our customers demand that we change the sourcing of materials we cannot identify as conflict-free.

Our inability to timely implement new manufacturing technologies or install manufacturing equipment could adversely affect our
results of operations. We subcontract a portion of our wafer fabrication and assembly and testing of our products, and we depend
on third parties to provide advanced logic manufacturing process technology development. We do not have long-term contracts
with all of these suppliers, and the number of alternate suppliers is limited. Reliance on these suppliers involves risks, including
possible shortages of capacity in periods of high demand, suppliers’ inability to develop and deliver advanced logic manufacturing
process technology in a timely, cost effective, and appropriate manner, the possibility of suppliers’ imposition of increased costs on
us and the unauthorized disclosure or use of our intellectual property.
Our results of operations and our reputation could be affected by warranty claims, product liability
claims, product recalls or legal proceedings.
Claims based on warranty, product liability, epidemic or delivery failures, or other grounds relating to our products, manufacturing,
services, designs, communications or cybersecurity could lead to significant expenses as we defend the claims or pay damage
awards or settlements. In the event of a claim, we would also incur costs if we decide to compensate the affected customer or end
consumer. Any such claims may also cause us to write off the value of related inventory. We maintain product liability insurance,
but there is no guarantee that such insurance will be available or adequate to protect against all such claims. In addition, it is
possible for a customer to recall a product containing a TI part, for example, with respect to products used in automotive
applications or handheld electronics, which may cause us to incur costs and expenses relating to the recall. Any of these events
could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
Our operations could be affected by the complex laws, rules and regulations to which our business
is subject.
We are subject to complex laws, rules and regulations affecting our domestic and international operations relating to, for example,
the environment, safety and health; trade; bribery and corruption; financial reporting; tax; data privacy and protection; labor and
employment; competition; market access; intellectual property ownership and infringement; and the movement of currency.
Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations may be onerous and expensive and could restrict our ability to manufacture or
ship our products and operate our business. If we fail to comply or if we become subject to enforcement activity, we could be
subject to fines, penalties or other legal liability. Furthermore, should these laws, rules and regulations be amended or expanded,
or new ones enacted, we could incur materially greater compliance costs or restrictions on our ability to manufacture our products
and operate our business.
Some of these complex laws, rules and regulations – for example, those related to environmental, safety and health requirements
– may particularly affect us in the jurisdictions in which we manufacture products, especially if such laws and regulations: require
the use of abatement equipment beyond what we currently employ; require the addition or elimination of a raw material or process
to or from our current manufacturing processes; or impose costs, fees or reporting requirements on the direct or indirect use of
energy, natural resources, or materials or gases used or emitted into the environment in connection with the manufacture of our
products. A substitute for a prohibited raw material or process might not be available, or might not be available at reasonable cost.
Our results of operations could be affected by changes in tax-related matters.
We have facilities in more than 30 countries and as a result are subject to taxation and audit by a number of taxing authorities.
Tax rates vary among the jurisdictions in which we operate. If our tax rate increases, our results of operations could be adversely
affected. A number of factors could cause our tax rate to increase, including a change in the jurisdictions in which our profits are
earned and taxed; a change in the mix of profits from those jurisdictions; changes in available tax credits or deductions, including
for amounts relating to stock compensation; changes in applicable tax rates; changes in tariff regulations or surcharges; changes
in accounting principles; or adverse resolution of audits by taxing authorities. We have deferred tax assets on our balance sheet.
Changes in applicable tax laws and regulations or in our business performance could affect our ability to realize those deferred tax
assets, which could also affect our results of operations.
In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations in various jurisdictions that determine how much profit has been earned and
when it is subject to taxation in that jurisdiction. These laws and regulations can be complex and subject to interpretation. Changes
in these laws and regulations, including those that align with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Base
Erosion and Profit Shifting recommendations, could affect the locations where we are deemed to earn income, which could in turn
affect our results of operations. Each quarter we forecast our tax expense based on our forecast of our performance for the year.
If that performance forecast changes, our forecasted tax expense will change.

Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if a customer or a
distributor suffers a loss with respect to our inventory.
We have consignment inventory programs in place for some of our largest customers and distributors. If a customer or distributor
were to experience a loss with respect to TI-consigned inventory, our results of operations and financial condition would be
adversely affected if we do not recover the full value of the lost inventory from the customer, distributor or insurer, or if our
recovery is delayed.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by our distributors’ promotion of competing
product lines or our distributors’ financial performance.
In 2019, about 65% of our revenue was generated from sales of our products through distributors. Our distributors carry competing
product lines, and our sales could be affected if our distributors promote competing products over our products. Moreover, our
results of operations could be affected if our distributors suffer financial difficulties that result in their inability to pay amounts
owed to us. Disputes with significant distributors could be disruptive or harmful to our business.

Our margins vary.
Our profit margins vary due to a number of factors, which may include customer demand and shipment volume; our manufacturing
processes; product mix; inventory levels; tariffs; and new accounting pronouncements or changes in existing accounting practices
or standards. In addition, we operate in a highly competitive market environment that might adversely affect pricing for our
products. Because we own much of our manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our operating costs is fixed. In general,
these fixed costs do not decline with reductions in customer demand or factory loadings, and can adversely affect profit margins
as a result.
Our performance depends in part on our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights and to maintain
freedom of operation.
Access to worldwide markets depends in part on the continued strength of our intellectual property portfolio in all jurisdictions
where we conduct business. There can be no assurance that, as our business evolves, we will obtain the necessary intellectual
property rights, or that we will be able to independently develop the technology, software or know-how necessary to conduct our
business or that we can do so without infringing the intellectual property rights of others. To the extent that we have to rely on
licensed technology from others, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses at all or on terms we consider
reasonable. We, directly or indirectly, face infringement claims from third parties, including non-practicing entities that have
acquired patents to pursue enforcement actions against other companies. We also face infringement claims where we or our
customers make, use or sell products and where the intellectual property laws may be less established or less predictable. These
assertions, whether or not of any merit, expose us to claims for damages and/or injunctions from third parties, as well as claims
for indemnification by our customers in instances where we have a contractual or other legal obligation to indemnify them against
damages resulting from infringement claims.
We actively enforce and protect our own intellectual property rights. However, our efforts cannot prevent all misappropriation or
improper use of our protected technology and information, including, for example, third parties’ use of our patented or copyrighted
technology, or our trade secrets in their products without the right to do so, or third parties’ sale of counterfeit products bearing
our trademark. The risk of unfair copying or cloning may impede our ability to sell our products. The laws of countries where we
operate may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as U.S. laws.
Our debt could affect our operations and financial condition.
From time to time, we issue debt securities with various interest rates and maturities. While we believe we will have the ability to
service this debt, our ability to make principal and interest payments when due depends upon our future performance, which will
be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles, and business and other factors affecting our operations, including our
other risk factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, our obligation to make principal and interest payments could
divert funds that otherwise would be invested in our operations or returned to shareholders, or could cause us to raise funds by,
for example, issuing new debt or equity or selling assets.

Our results of operations and liquidity could be affected by changes in the financial markets.
We maintain bank accounts, one or more multiyear revolving credit agreements, and a portfolio of investments to support the
financing needs of the company. Our ability to fund our operations, invest in our business, make strategic acquisitions, service our
debt obligations and meet our cash return objectives depends upon continuous access to our bank and investment accounts, and
may depend on access to our bank credit lines that support commercial paper borrowings and provide additional liquidity through
short-term bank loans. If we are unable to access these accounts and credit lines (for example, due to instability in the financial
markets), our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected and our ability to access the capital markets
or redeem our investments could be restricted.

Increases in health care and pension benefit costs could affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
Federal and state health care reform programs could increase our costs with regard to medical coverage of our employees, which
could reduce profitability and affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, obligations related to our pension
and other postretirement plans reflect assumptions that affect the planned funding and costs of these plans, including the actual
return on plan assets, discount rates, plan participant population demographics and changes in pension regulations. Changes in
these assumptions may affect plan funding, cash flow and results of operations, and our costs and funding obligations could
increase significantly if our plans’ actual experience differs from these assumptions.
Our continued success depends in part on our ability to retain and recruit a sufficient number of
qualified employees in a competitive environment.
Our continued success depends in part on the retention and recruitment of skilled personnel, as well as the effective management
of succession for key employees. Skilled and experienced personnel in our industry, including engineering, management,
marketing, technical and staff personnel, are in high demand and competition for their talents is intense. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully retain and recruit the key engineering, management and technical personnel that
we require to execute our business strategy. Our ability to recruit internationally or deploy employees to various locations may be
limited by immigration laws.
Material impairments of our goodwill or intangible assets could adversely affect our results of operations.
We have a significant amount of goodwill and intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Charges associated with
impairments of goodwill or intangible assets could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations
Overview
We design, make and sell semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. For many years, we have
run our business with three overarching ambitions in mind. First, we will act like owners who will own the company for decades.
Second, we will adapt and succeed in a world that is ever changing. And third, we will be a company that we are personally proud
to be a part of and that we would want as our neighbor. When we are successful in achieving these ambitions, our employees,
customers, communities and shareholders all win.
Our business model is designed around the following four sustainable competitive advantages that we believe, in combination, put
us in a unique class of companies:
• A strong foundation of manufacturing and technology. We invest in manufacturing technologies and do most of our
manufacturing in-house. This strategic decision to directly control our manufacturing helps ensure a consistent supply of
products for our customers and also allows us to invest in technology that differentiates the features of our products. We
have focused on creating a competitive manufacturing cost advantage by investing in our advanced analog 300-millimeter
capacity, which has about a 40% cost advantage per unpackaged chip over 200-millimeter. To strengthen this advantage,
we are moving forward with our plan to build our new 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility in Richardson, Texas, as
300-millimeter wafers will continue to support the majority of our Analog growth.
• Broad portfolio of differentiated analog and embedded processing products. Our customers need multiple chips for their
systems. The breadth of our portfolio means we can meet more of these needs than our competitors can, which gives us
access to more customers and the opportunity to sell more products and generate more revenue per customer system. We
invest more than $1 billion each year to develop new products for our portfolio, which includes tens of thousands of products.
• Reach of market channels. Customers often begin their initial product selection process and design-in journey on our
website, and the breadth of our portfolio attracts more customers to our website than any of our competitors’ websites. Our
web presence and global sales and applications team are advantages that give us unique access and insight to about
100,000 customers designing TI semiconductors into their end products.
• Diversity and longevity of our products, markets and customer positions. Together, the attributes above result in diverse
and long-lived positions that deliver high terminal value to our shareholders. Because of the breadth of our portfolio, we are
not dependent on any single product, customer, technology or market. Some of our products generate revenue for decades,
which strengthens the return on our investments.
Our strategic focus, and where we invest the majority of our resources, is on Analog and Embedded Processing, with a particular
emphasis on designing and selling those products into the industrial and automotive markets. We believe these markets represent
the best growth opportunities over the next decade or longer, due to increasing semiconductor content. Additionally, analog and
embedded processing products sold into industrial and automotive markets provide long product life cycles, intrinsic diversity and
less capital-intensive manufacturing, which we believe offer stability, profitability and strong cash generation.
This business model is the foundation of our capital management strategy, which is based on our belief that free cash flow growth,
especially on a per-share basis, is important for maximizing shareholder value over the long term. We also believe that free cash
flow will be valued only if it is productively invested in the business or returned to shareholders.
The combined effect of our ambitions, business model and sustainable competitive advantages is that we have continued to build a
stronger company. Over time, we have gained market share in Analog and Embedded Processing and grown and returned all free
cash flow to our owners.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document. In the following discussion of our results of
operations:
• Our segments represent groups of similar products that are combined on the basis of similar design and development
requirements, product characteristics, manufacturing processes and distribution channels, and how management allocates
resources and measures results. See Note 1 to the financial statements for more information regarding our segments.
• When we discuss our results:
O Unless otherwise noted, changes in our revenue are attributable to changes in customer demand, which are evidenced
by fluctuations in shipment volumes.
16
T E X AS I N S T RU M E N TS • 201 9 FOR M 10- K
O New products do not tend to have a significant impact on our revenue in any given period because we sell such a large
number of products.
O From time to time, our revenue and gross profit are affected by changes in demand for higher-priced or lower-priced
products, which we refer to as changes in the “mix” of products shipped.
O Because we own much of our manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our operating cost is fixed. When factory
loadings decrease, our fixed costs are spread over reduced output and, absent other circumstances, our profit margins
decrease. Conversely, as factory loadings increase, our fixed costs are spread over increased output and, absent other
circumstances, our profit margins increase. Increases and decreases in factory loadings tend to correspond to increases
and decreases in demand.
• All dollar amounts in the tables are stated in millions of U.S. dollars.
Our results of operations discussed below provides details of our financial results for 2019 and 2018 and year-to-year comparisons
between 2019 and 2018. Discussion of 2017 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2018 and 2017 that are not included in
this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” in Part II,

Results of operations
In 2019, we continued our focus on analog and embedded processing products and the industrial and automotive markets.
Together, these products and markets represent highly diverse opportunities with thousands of applications and long-term growth
potential. Gross margin of 63.7% reflected the quality of our product portfolio, as well as the efficiency of our manufacturing
strategy, including the benefit of 300-millimeter Analog production.
Our focus on Analog and Embedded Processing allows us to generate strong cash flow from operations. Our cash flow from
operations of $6.65 billion underscored the strength of our business model. Free cash flow was $5.80 billion and represented
40.3% of revenue, up from 38.4% a year ago. During 2019, we returned $5.97 billion to shareholders through a combination of
stock repurchases and dividends. Our strategy is to return all free cash flow to shareholders. Our dividends represented 52% of
free cash flow, underscoring their sustainability. For an explanation of free cash flow, see the Non-GAAP financial information
section.
Details of financial results – 2019 compared with 2018
Revenue of $14.38 billion decreased $1.40 billion, or 9%, primarily due to lower revenue from Embedded Processing and Analog.
Gross profit of $9.16 billion was down $1.11 billion, or 11%, primarily due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross
profit decreased to 63.7% from 65.1%.
Operating expenses (R&D and SG&A) were $3.19 billion compared with $3.24 billion.
Acquisition charges of $288 million were non-cash. See Note 7 to the financial statements.
Restructuring charges/other was a credit of $36 million due to the sale of our manufacturing facility in Greenock, Scotland.
Operating profit was $5.72 billion, or 39.8% of revenue, compared with $6.71 billion, or 42.5% of revenue.
Other income and expense (OI&E) was $175 million of income compared with $98 million of income. See Note 12 to the financial
statements.
Interest and debt expense of $170 million increased $45 million due to the issuance of additional long-term debt.
Our provision for income taxes was $711 million compared with $1.11 billion. The decrease was due to lower income before
income taxes and a lower annual operating tax rate. Our annual operating tax rate, which does not include discrete tax items, was
16% compared with 20% in 2018. We use “annual operating tax rate” to describe the estimated annual effective tax rate, as
explained further in the Non-GAAP financial information section.
Our effective tax rate, which includes discrete tax items, was 12% in 2019 compared with 17% in 2018. See Note 4 to the
financial statements for a reconciliation of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate.

Financial condition
At the end of 2019, total cash (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) was $5.39 billion, an increase of
$1.15 billion from the end of 2018.
Accounts receivable were $1.07 billion, a decrease of $133 million compared with the end of 2018. Days sales outstanding were
29 at the end of both 2019 and 2018.
Inventory was $2.00 billion, a decrease of $216 million from the end of 2018. Days of inventory at the end of 2019 were 144
compared with 152 at the end of 2018.
Liquidity and capital resources
Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-
term investments and a variable rate, revolving credit facility. Cash flows from operating activities for 2019 were $6.65 billion, a
decrease of $540 million primarily due to lower net income.
Our revolving credit facility is with a consortium of investment-grade banks and allows us to borrow up to $2 billion until March
2024. This credit facility also serves as support for the issuance of commercial paper. As of December 31, 2019, our credit facility
was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.

Investing activities for 2019 used $1.92 billion compared with $78 million in 2018. Capital expenditures were $847 million
compared with $1.13 billion in 2018 and were primarily for semiconductor manufacturing equipment in both periods. Short-term
investments used cash of $1.14 billion in 2019 and provided cash proceeds of $1.07 billion in 2018.
Financing activities for 2019 used $4.73 billion compared with $6.33 billion in 2018. In 2019, we received net proceeds of
$1.49 billion from the issuance of fixed-rate, long-term debt and retired maturing debt of $750 million. In 2018, we received net
proceeds of $1.50 billion from the issuance of fixed-rate, long-term debt and retired maturing debt of $500 million. Dividends paid
in 2019 were $3.01 billion compared with $2.56 billion in 2018, reflecting an increase in the dividend rate, partially offset by fewer
shares outstanding. We used $2.96 billion to repurchase 27.4 million shares of our common stock compared with $5.10 billion
used in 2018 to repurchase 49.5 million shares. Employee exercises of stock options provided cash proceeds of $539 million
compared with $373 million in 2018.
We had $2.44 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $2.95 billion of short-term investments as of December 31, 2019. We
believe we have the necessary financial resources and operating plans to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures,
dividend and debt-related payments, and other business requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Non-GAAP financial information
This MD&A includes references to free cash flow and ratios based on that measure. These are financial measures that were not
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Free cash flow was calculated
by subtracting capital expenditures from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating activities (also
referred to as cash flow from operations).
We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-generating capability and the
amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our financial performance. These non-GAAP
measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.
Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the table below.

This MD&A also includes references to an annual operating tax rate, a non-GAAP term we use to describe the estimated annual
effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items. We believe the term annual operating tax
rate helps differentiate from the effective tax rate, which includes discrete tax items.

Principal and related interest payments for our long-term debt obligations, including amounts classified as the current portion
of long-term debt.
Includes payments for software licenses and contractual arrangements with suppliers when there is a fixed, non-cancellable
payment schedule or when minimum payments are due with a reduced delivery schedule. Excludes cancellable
arrangements. See Note 11 to the financial statements.
Includes payments for the one-time transition tax on our indefinitely reinvested earnings related to the 2017 enactment of the
U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. See Note 4 to the financial statements.
Includes minimum payments for leased facilities and equipment and purchases of industrial gases under contracts accounted
for as operating leases. See Note 10 to the financial statements.
Estimated payments for certain liabilities that existed as of December 31, 2019.
Excludes $303 million of uncertain tax liabilities under ASC 740, as well as any planned future funding contributions to
retirement benefit plans. Amounts associated with uncertain tax liabilities have been excluded because of the difficulty in
making reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities. Regarding
future funding of retirement benefit plans, we plan to contribute about $20 million in 2020, but funding projections beyond
2020 are not practical to estimate due to the rules affecting tax-deductible contributions and the impact from the plans’ asset
performance, interest rates and potential U.S. and non-U.S. legislation.
Critical accounting policies
Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. However,
based on facts and circumstances inherent in developing estimates and assumptions, management believes it is unlikely that
applying other estimates and assumptions would have a material impact on the financial statements. We consider the following
accounting policies to be those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and that require a higher degree
of judgment.
Revenue recognition
Based on management’s assessment of the revenue recognition criteria, we generally recognize revenue from sales of our
products to distributors upon shipment or delivery to the distributors. For our consignment arrangements with distributors, delivery
occurs and revenue is recognized when the distributor pulls product from consignment inventory that we store at designated
locations. Recognition is not contingent upon resale of the products to the distributors’ customers in either scenario.
Revenue is recognized net of allowances, which are management’s estimates of future credits to be granted to distributors
under programs common in the semiconductor industry. These allowances are not material and generally include special pricing
arrangements, product returns due to quality issues, and incentives designed to maximize growth opportunities.
Allowances are based on analysis of historical data and contractual terms and are recorded when revenue is recognized. We
believe we can reasonably and reliably estimate allowances for credits to distributors in a timely manner.

T E X AS I N S T RU M E N TS • 201 9 FOR M 10- K
Income taxes
In determining net income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments in the calculation of
tax provisions and the resultant tax liabilities and in the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences
between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense.
In the ordinary course of global business, there may be many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is
uncertain. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the interpretation and application of complex tax
laws, and significant judgment is necessary to (i) determine whether, based on the technical merits, a tax position is more likely
than not to be sustained and (ii) measure the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. We recognize potential liabilities
for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of the ultimate resolution of
whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance
can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different from what is reflected in the historical income tax
provisions and accruals.
As part of our financial process, we must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets can be recovered. If recovery is not
likely, the provision for taxes must be increased by recording a reserve in the form of a valuation allowance for the deferred tax
assets that are estimated not to be ultimately recoverable. Our judgment regarding future recoverability of our deferred tax assets
may change due to various factors, including changes in U.S. or international tax laws and changes in market conditions and their
impact on our assessment of taxable income in future periods. These changes, if any, may require adjustments to the deferred tax
assets and an accompanying reduction or increase in net income in the period when such determinations are made.

Inventory valuation allowances
Inventory is valued net of allowances for unsalable or obsolete raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Statistical
allowances are determined quarterly for raw materials and work-in-process based on historical disposals of inventory for salability
and obsolescence reasons. For finished goods, quarterly statistical allowances are determined by comparing inventory levels of
individual parts to historical shipments, current backlog and estimated future sales in order to identify inventory considered unlikely
to be sold. A specific allowance for each material type will be carried if there is a significant event not captured by the statistical
allowance, such as an end-of-life part or demand with imminent risk of cancellation. Allowances are also calculated quarterly for
instances where inventoried costs for individual products are in excess of the net realizable value for those products. Actual future
write-offs of inventory for salability and obsolescence reasons may differ from estimates and calculations used to determine
valuation allowances due to changes in customer demand, customer negotiations, technology shifts and other factors.
Changes in accounting standards
See Note 2 to the financial statements for information regarding the status of new accounting and reporting standards.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of December 31, 2019, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The U.S. dollar is our functional currency for financial reporting. Our non-U.S. entities own assets or liabilities denominated in
U.S. dollars or other currencies. Exchange rate fluctuations impact taxable income in those jurisdictions and consequently impact
our effective tax rate.

Our balance sheet also reflects amounts remeasured from non-U.S. dollar currencies. Because most of the aggregate non-U.S.
dollar balance sheet exposure is hedged by forward currency exchange contracts, based on year-end 2019 balances and currency
exchange rates, a hypothetical 10% plus or minus fluctuation in non-U.S. currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar would
result in a pretax currency exchange gain or loss of less than $1 million.
We use these forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations may have on our
non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. As of December 31, 2019, we had forward currency exchange contracts outstanding
with a notional value of $458 million to hedge net balance sheet exposures (including $136 million to sell Japanese yen,
$106 million to sell Indian rupees and $74 million to sell British pounds). Similar hedging activities existed at year-end 2018.
Interest rate risk
We have the following potential exposure to changes in interest rates: (i) the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value
of our investments in cash equivalents and short-term investments, which could produce a gain or a loss; and (ii) the effect of
changes in interest rates on the fair value of our debt.
As of December 31, 2019, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our
investments in cash equivalents and short-term investments by about $8 million and decrease the fair value of our long-term
debt by $532 million. Because interest rates on our long-term debt are fixed, changes in interest rates would not affect the cash
flows associated with long-term debt.
Equity risk
Long-term investments at year-end 2019 include the following:
• Investments in mutual funds – includes mutual funds that were selected to generate returns that offset changes in certain
liabilities related to deferred compensation arrangements. The mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments.
• Investments in venture capital funds – includes investments in limited partnerships (accounted for under either the equity
method or at cost as non-marketable equity securities).
• Equity investments – includes non-marketable (non-publicly traded) equity securities.
Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value. Changes in prices of the mutual fund investments are expected to offset
related changes in deferred compensation liabilities such that a 10% increase or decrease in the investments’ fair values would not
materially affect operating results. Non-marketable equity securities and certain venture capital funds are stated at cost minus
impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes. Investments in the remaining
venture capital funds are stated using the equity method. See Note 6 to the financial statements for details of equity and other
long-term investments.

Notes to financial statements
1. Description of business, including segment and geographic area information
We design, make and sell semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers all over the world. We have two reportable
segments, which are established along major categories of products as follows:
• Analog – consisting of the following product lines: Power, Signal Chain and High Volume.
• Embedded Processing – consisting of the following product lines: Connected Microcontrollers and Processors.
We report the results of our remaining business activities in Other. Other includes operating segments that do not meet the
quantitative thresholds for individually reportable segments and cannot be aggregated with other operating segments. Other
includes DLP® products, calculators and custom ASIC products.
In Other, we also include items that are not used in evaluating the results of or in allocating resources to our segments. Examples
of these items include acquisition charges (see Note 7); restructuring charges (see Note 12); and certain corporate-level items,
such as litigation expenses, environmental costs, insurance settlements, and gains and losses from other activities, including asset
dispositions. We allocate the remainder of our expenses associated with corporate activities to our operating segments based on
specific methodologies, such as percentage of operating expenses or headcount.
Our centralized manufacturing and support organizations, such as facilities, procurement and logistics, provide support to our
operating segments, including those in Other. Costs incurred by these organizations, including depreciation, are charged to the
segments on a per-unit basis. Consequently, depreciation expense is not an independently identifiable component within the
segments’ results and therefore is not provided.
With the exception of goodwill, we do not identify or allocate assets by operating segment, nor does the chief operating decision
maker evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. We have no material intersegment revenue. The accounting
policies of the segments are consistent with those described below in the summary of significant accounting policies and
practices.

Geographic area information

2. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies and practices
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP). The basis of these financial statements is comparable for all periods presented herein, except for the effects
of adopting a new accounting standard in 2019 related to leases.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in these notes, except per-share amounts,
are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. We have reclassified certain amounts in the prior periods’
financial statements to conform to the 2019 presentation.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates from which final results may vary.
Significant accounting policies and practices
Revenue recognition
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of semiconductor products, either directly to a customer or to a distributor, or at the
conclusion of a consignment process. We have a variety of types of contracts with our customers and distributors. In determining
whether a contract exists, we evaluate the terms of the arrangement, the relationship with the customer or distributor and their
ability to pay.

We recognize revenue from sales of our products, including sales to our distributors, when control is transferred. Control is
considered transferred when title and risk of loss pass, when the customer becomes obligated to pay and, where required, when
the customer has accepted the products. This transfer generally occurs at a point in time upon shipment or delivery to the
customer or distributor, depending upon the terms of the sales order. Payment for sales to customers and distributors is generally
due on our standard commercial terms. For sales to distributors, payment is not contingent upon resale of the products.
Revenue from sales of our products that are subject to inventory consignment agreements is recognized at a point in time, when
the customer or distributor pulls product from consignment inventory that we store at designated locations. Delivery and transfer of
control occur at that point, when title and risk of loss transfers and the customer or distributor becomes obligated to pay for the
products pulled from inventory. Until the products are pulled for use or sale by the customer or distributor, we retain control over
the products’ disposition, including the right to pull back or relocate the products.
The revenue recognized is adjusted based on allowances, which are prepared on a portfolio basis using a most likely amount
methodology based on analysis of historical data and contractual terms. These allowances, which are not material, generally
include adjustments for pricing arrangements, product returns and incentives. The length of time between invoicing and payment
is not significant under any of our payment terms. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of
invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component.
In addition, we record allowances for accounts receivable that we estimate may not be collected. We monitor collectability of
accounts receivable primarily through review of accounts receivable aging. When collection is at risk, we assess the impact on
amounts recorded for bad debts and, if necessary, record a charge in the period such determination is made.
We recognize shipping fees, if any, received from customers in revenue. We include the related shipping and handling costs in cost
of revenue. The majority of our customers pay these fees directly to third parties.
Advertising costs
We expense advertising and other promotional costs as incurred. This expense was $30 million, $34 million and $39 million in
2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Income taxes
We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. We record the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the
current year and the deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
financial statements or tax returns. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
Other assessed taxes
Some transactions require us to collect taxes such as sales, value-added and excise taxes from our customers. These transactions
are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Income on a net (excluded from revenue) basis.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases are included in other long-term assets, accrued expenses and
other liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Lease assets represent our right to use underlying assets for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligations to make
lease payments over the lease term. On the commencement date, leases are evaluated for classification, and assets and liabilities
are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based
on the information available at commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is
generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease values include options to extend or not to terminate the
lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
We have agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Leases with an
initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Earnings per share (EPS)
We use the two-class method for calculating EPS because the restricted stock units (RSUs) we grant are participating securities
containing non-forfeitable rights to receive dividend equivalents. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated
to RSUs and excluded from the calculation of income allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Potentially dilutive securities representing 6 million, 4 million and 6 million shares of common stock that were outstanding in 2019,
2018 and 2017 respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during these periods
because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Investments
We present investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as cash equivalents, short-term investments or long-term investments,
which are detailed below. See Note 6 for additional information.
• Cash equivalents and short-term investments – We consider investments in available-for-sale debt securities with
maturities of 90 days or less from the date of our investment to be cash equivalents. We consider investments in
available-for-sale debt securities with maturities beyond 90 days from the date of our investment as being available for
use in current operations and include them in short-term investments. The primary objectives of our cash equivalent and
short-term investment activities are to preserve capital and maintain liquidity while generating appropriate returns.
• Long-term investments – Long-term investments consist of mutual funds, venture capital funds and non-marketable
equity securities.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is generally computed on a currently adjusted
standard cost basis, which approximates cost on a first-in first-out basis. Standard cost is based on the normal utilization of
installed factory capacity. Cost associated with underutilization of capacity is expensed as incurred. Inventory held at consignment
locations is included in our finished goods inventory.
We review inventory quarterly for salability and obsolescence. A statistical allowance is provided for inventory considered unlikely
to be sold. The statistical allowance is based on an analysis of historical disposal activity, historical customer shipments, as well as
estimated future sales. A specific allowance for each material type will be carried if there is a significant event not captured by the
statistical allowance. We write off inventory in the period in which disposal occurs.
Property, plant and equipment; acquisition-related intangibles; and other capitalized costs
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Our cost basis includes certain assets acquired in business combinations that were initially recorded at fair value as of the date of
acquisition. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or
the estimated useful lives of the improvements. We amortize acquisition-related intangibles on a straight-line basis over the
estimated economic life of the assets. Capitalized software licenses generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the license. Fully depreciated or amortized assets are written off against accumulated depreciation or amortization.

Impairments of long-lived assets
We regularly review whether facts or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying values of property, plant and equipment or
other long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are impaired. We assess the recoverability of assets by comparing the
projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their respective carrying amounts. Any impairment charge
is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is determined by available market
valuations, if applicable, or by discounted cash flows.
Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators arise. We perform our annual
goodwill impairment test as of October 1 for our reporting units, which compares the fair value for each reporting unit to its
associated carrying value, including goodwill. See Note 7 for additional information.
Foreign currency
The functional currency for our non-U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Accounts recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar
are remeasured into the functional currency. Current assets (except inventories), deferred taxes, other assets, current liabilities and
long-term liabilities are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Property, plant and equipment
with associated depreciation and inventories are valued at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts other than
depreciation for each month are remeasured at the appropriate daily rate of exchange. Currency exchange gains and losses from
remeasurement are credited or charged to OI&E.
Derivatives and hedging
We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. These instruments are primarily forward
foreign currency exchange contracts, which are used as economic hedges to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate
fluctuations may have on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these
forward foreign currency exchange contracts are credited or charged to OI&E. We do not apply hedge accounting to our foreign
currency derivative instruments.
In connection with the issuance of long-term debt, we may use financial derivatives such as treasury-rate lock agreements that
are recognized in AOCI and amortized over the life of the related debt. The results of these derivative transactions have not
been material.
We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Changes in accounting standards – adopted standards for current period
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method
applied to leases existing at, or entered into after, the adoption date. The reported results for 2019 reflect the application of the
new accounting guidance, while the reported results for prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance
with our historical accounting under ASC 840, Leases. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under
the transition guidance that allowed us to apply prior conclusions related to lease definition, classification and initial direct costs.
The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of $229 million of lease liabilities with corresponding lease assets as
of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.

Changes in accounting standards – standards not yet adopted
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
This standard requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain
financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the current incurred loss approach,
which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of being incurred. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt
securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction to the amortized cost basis of the
securities. We are adopting this standard effective January 1, 2020, applying the guidance on a modified retrospective basis. In
preparation for adoption of the standard, we have updated certain policies and related processes, but this standard will not have a
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We are evaluating the impact of the following standards, but we do not expect them to have a material impact on our financial

3. Stock compensation
We have stock options outstanding to participants under long-term incentive plans. The option price per share may not be less
than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The options have a 10-year term, generally vest ratably
over four years, and continue to vest after the option recipient retires.
We also have RSUs outstanding to participants under long-term incentive plans. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share
of TI common stock, issued on the vesting date, which is generally four years after the date of grant. RSUs continue to vest after
the recipient retires. Holders of RSUs receive an annual cash payment equivalent to the dividends paid on our common stock.
We have options and RSUs outstanding to non-employee directors under director compensation plans. The plans generally provide
for annual grants of stock options and RSUs, a one-time grant of RSUs to each new non-employee director and the issuance of TI
common stock upon the distribution of stock units credited to director deferred compensation accounts.
We also have an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) under which options are offered to all eligible employees in amounts based
on a percentage of the employee’s compensation, subject to a cap. Under the plan, the option price per share is 85% of the fair
market value on the exercise date.
Total stock compensation expense recognized is as follows:

Fair-value methods and assumptions
We account for all awards granted under our various stock compensation plans at fair value. We estimate the fair values for
non-qualified stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

We determine expected volatility on all options granted using available implied volatility rates. We believe that market-based
measures of implied volatility are currently the best available indicators of the expected volatility used in these estimates.
We determine expected lives of options based on the historical option exercise experience of our optionees using a rolling 10-year
average. We believe the historical experience method is the best estimate of future exercise patterns currently available.
Risk-free interest rates are determined using the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a
remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.
Expected dividend yields are based on the annualized approved quarterly dividend rate and the current market price of our
common stock at the time of grant. No assumption for a future dividend rate change is included unless there is an approved plan
to change the dividend in the near term.
The fair value per share of RSUs is determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
Our ESPP is a discount-purchase plan and consequently the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is not used to determine
the fair value per share of these awards. The fair value per share under this plan equals the amount of the discount.

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory income
tax rate from 35% to 21% and requires companies to pay a one-time tax on indefinitely reinvested earnings of certain non-U.S.
subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. We applied the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 when accounting for
the enactment-date effects of the Tax Act in 2017 and throughout 2018. As of December 31, 2018, we completed our accounting
for the enactment-date income tax effects of the Tax Act. We booked a provisional amount of $773 million in 2017 and reduced
our provisional amount by $44 million in 2018, for a net of $729 million.
The earnings represented by non-cash operating assets, such as fixed assets and inventory, will continue to be permanently
reinvested outside the United States. Provisions of the Tax Act, such as the one-time tax on indefinitely reinvested earnings and the
global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax for years beginning in 2018, eliminate any additional U.S. taxation resulting from
repatriation of earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to the United States. Consequently, no U.S. tax provision has been made for the
future remittance of these earnings. However, withholding or distribution taxes in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions will be incurred
upon repatriation of available cash to the United States. A provision has been made for deferred taxes on these undistributed
earnings to the extent that repatriation of the available cash to the United States is expected to result in a tax liability. As of
December 31, 2019, we have no basis differences that would result in material unrecognized deferred tax liabilities.

We make an ongoing assessment regarding the realization of U.S. and non-U.S. deferred tax assets. This assessment is based on
our evaluation of relevant criteria, including the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets,
taxable income in prior carryback years and expectations for future taxable income. Valuation allowances increased by $8 million,
$7 million and $37 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These changes had no impact to net income in 2019 or 2018.
We have U.S. and non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards of approximately $6 million, none of which will expire before the year 2029.
Cash payments made for income taxes, net of refunds, were $570 million, $705 million and $1.80 billion in 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.
Uncertain tax positions
We operate in a number of tax jurisdictions, and our income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities in those
jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these tax returns. Because the matters challenged by authorities are typically
complex, their ultimate outcome is uncertain. Before any benefit can be recorded in our financial statements, we must determine
that it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained by the appropriate tax authorities. We recognize accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties as components of OI&E.

The liability for uncertain tax positions is a component of other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All of the $303 million and $286 million liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are
comprised of positions that, if recognized, would lower the effective tax rate. If these liabilities are ultimately realized, $2 million
and $30 million of existing deferred tax assets in 2019 and 2018, respectively, would also be realized. It is reasonably possible that
the $303 million liability as of December 31, 2019, could decrease by up to $249 million in 2020 for the resolution of a tax
depreciation-related position.
As of December 31, 2019, the statute of limitations remains open for U.S. federal tax returns for 2013 and following years.
Audit activities related to our U.S. federal tax returns through 2012 have been completed except for certain pending tax treaty
procedures for relief from double taxation. The procedures for relief from double taxation pertain to U.S. federal tax returns for
the years 2007 through 2012. The audit of the U.S. federal tax returns for 2013 through 2015 is underway.
In non-U.S. jurisdictions, the years open to audit represent the years still open under the statute of limitations. With respect to
major jurisdictions outside the United States, our subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2007.
5. Financial instruments and risk concentration
Financial instruments
We hold derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, the fair value of which was not
material as of December 31, 2019. Our forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2019, had a
notional value of $458 million to hedge our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures, including $136 million to sell Japanese
yen, $106 million to sell Indian rupees and $74 million to sell British pounds.
Our investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments, as well as our deferred
compensation liabilities, are carried at fair value. Our postretirement plan assets are carried at fair value or net asset value per share.
The carrying values for other current financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate
fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying value of long-term debt, including
the current portion, was $5.80 billion, and the estimated fair value was $6.29 billion. The estimated fair value is measured using
broker-dealer quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. See Note 6 for a description of fair value and the definition of Level 2 inputs.
Risk concentration
We are subject to counterparty risks from financial institutions, customers and issuers of debt securities. Financial instruments
that could subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash deposits, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
accounts receivable. To manage our credit risk exposure, we place cash investments in investment-grade debt securities and limit
the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We also limit counterparties on cash deposits and financial derivative contracts
to financial institutions with investment-grade ratings.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to our large number of customers and their
dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. We maintain allowances for expected returns, disputes, adjustments,
incentives and collectability. These allowances are deducted from accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

T E X AS I N S T RU M E N TS • 201 9 FOR M 10- K
Accounts receivable allowances changed to reflect amounts charged (credited) to operating results by ($11) million, $11 million
and ($9) million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Major customer
No end customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue in 2019, 2018 or 2017.
6. Valuation of debt and equity investments and certain liabilities
Debt and equity investments measured at fair value
Available-for-sale debt investments and trading securities are stated at fair value, which is generally based on market prices or
broker quotes. See Fair-value considerations below. Unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale debt securities are
recorded as an increase or decrease, net of taxes, in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other-than-temporary impairments
on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in OI&E in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
We classify certain mutual funds as trading securities. These mutual funds hold a variety of debt and equity investments intended
to generate returns that offset changes in certain deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of these
mutual funds and the related deferred compensation liabilities in SG&A.

Other equity investments
Our other investments include equity-method investments and non-marketable equity investments, which are not measured at fair
value. These investments consist of interests in venture capital funds and other non-marketable equity securities. Gains and losses
from equity-method investments are recognized in OI&E based on our ownership share of the investee’s financial results.
Non-marketable equity securities are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments. Gains
and losses on non-marketable equity investments are recognized in OI&E.

There were no other-than-temporary declines and impairments in the values of our debt investments in 2019, 2018 or 2017.
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, net gains and losses associated with our equity investments were $32 million, $5 million and $4 million,
respectively. These amounts include realized gains of $29 million, $11 million and $6 million on equity investments sold during
2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Fair-value considerations
We measure and report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for
the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The three-level hierarchy described below indicates the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair-value measurements.

O
R

K
• Level 1 – Uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the
reporting date.
• Level 2 – Uses inputs other than Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through
correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in
markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing
methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest
rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data. We utilize a third-party data service to provide
Level 2 valuations. We verify these valuations for reasonableness relative to unadjusted quotes obtained from brokers or
dealers based on observable prices for similar assets in active markets.
• Level 3 – Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant
management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models that utilize management estimates of
market participant assumptions. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no Level 3 assets or liabilities.
The following are our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. These tables do not include
cash on hand, assets held by our postretirement plans, or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis
other than fair value.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and determine whether the fair value of each of our reporting
units is in excess of its carrying value. Determination of fair value is based upon management estimates and judgment, using
unobservable inputs in discounted cash flow models to calculate the fair value of each reporting unit. These unobservable inputs
are considered Level 3 measurements, as described in Note 6. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, we determined no impairment was
indicated.

Acquisition charges
Acquisition charges represent the ongoing amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of National
Semiconductor Corporation. These amounts are included in Other for segment reporting purposes, consistent with how
management measures the performance of its segments.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles was $288 million in 2019 and $318 million in 2018 and 2017. Fully amortized
assets are written off against accumulated amortization. The remaining estimated amortization is $198 million in 2020 and
$142 million in 2021.
8. Postretirement benefit plans
Plan descriptions
We have various employee retirement plans, including defined contribution, defined benefit and retiree health care benefit plans.
For qualifying employees, we offer deferred compensation arrangements.
U.S. retirement plans
Our principal retirement plans in the United States are a defined contribution plan; an enhanced defined contribution plan; and
qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans. The defined benefit plans were closed to new participants in 1997, and
then current participants were allowed to make a one-time election to continue accruing a benefit in the plans or to cease accruing
a benefit and instead to participate in the enhanced defined contribution plan described below.
Both defined contribution plans offer an employer-matching savings option that allows employees to make pretax and post-tax
contributions to various investment choices. Employees who elected to continue accruing a benefit in the qualified defined benefit
pension plans may also participate in the defined contribution plan, where employer-matching contributions are provided for up to
2% of the employee’s annual eligible earnings. Employees who elected not to continue accruing a benefit in the defined benefit
pension plans, and employees hired after November 1997 and through December 31, 2003, may participate in the enhanced
defined contribution plan. This plan provides for a fixed employer contribution of 2% of the employee’s annual eligible earnings,
plus an employer-matching contribution of up to 4% of the employee’s annual eligible earnings. Employees hired after
December 31, 2003, do not receive the fixed employer contribution of 2% of the employee’s annual eligible earnings.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, as a result of employees’ elections, TI’s U.S. defined contribution plans held shares of TI
common stock totaling 8 million shares and 9 million shares valued at $988 million and $821 million, respectively. Dividends paid
on these shares in 2019 and 2018 were $26 million and $24 million, respectively. Effective April 1, 2016, the TI common stock
fund was frozen to new contributions or transfers into the fund.
Our aggregate expense for the U.S. defined contribution plans was $61 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
The defined benefit pension plans include employees still accruing benefits, as well as employees and participants who no longer
accrue service-related benefits, but instead, may participate in the enhanced defined contribution plan. Benefits under the qualified
defined benefit pension plan are determined using a formula based on years of service and the highest five consecutive years of
compensation. We intend to contribute amounts to this plan to meet the minimum funding requirements of applicable local laws
and regulations, plus such additional amounts as we deem appropriate. The non-qualified defined benefit plans are unfunded and
closed to new participants.
U.S. retiree health care benefit plan
U.S. employees who meet eligibility requirements are offered medical coverage during retirement. We make a contribution toward
the cost of those retiree medical benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. The contribution rates are based upon various
factors, the most important of which are an employee’s date of hire, date of retirement, years of service and eligibility for Medicare
benefits. The balance of the cost is borne by the plan’s participants. Employees hired after January 1, 2001, are responsible for the
full cost of their medical benefits during retirement.
Non-U.S. retirement plans
We provide retirement coverage for non-U.S. employees, as required by local laws or to the extent we deem appropriate, through a
number of defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Retirement benefits are generally based on an employee’s years of
service and compensation. Funding requirements are determined on an individual country and plan basis and are subject to local
country practices and market circumstances.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, as a result of employees’ elections, TI’s non-U.S. defined contribution plans held TI common
stock valued at $28 million and $23 million, respectively. Dividends paid on these shares of TI common stock in 2019 and 2018
were not material.

All defined benefit and retiree health care benefit plan expense components other than service cost are recognized in OI&E in our
Consolidated Statements of Income. Service cost is recognized within operating profit.
For the U.S. qualified pension and retiree health care plans, the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit
cost is based upon a market-related value of assets. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the market-related value of assets is the fair
value adjusted by a smoothing technique whereby certain gains and losses are phased in over a period of three years.

The investments in our major benefit plans largely consist of low-cost, broad-market index funds to mitigate risks of concentration
within market sectors. Our investment policy is designed to better match the interest rate sensitivity of the plan assets and
liabilities. The appropriate mix of equity and bond investments is determined primarily through the use of detailed asset-liability
modeling studies that look to balance the impact of changes in the discount rate against the need to provide asset growth to
cover future service cost. Most of our plans around the world have a greater proportion of fixed income securities with return
characteristics that are more closely aligned with changes in the liabilities caused by discount rate volatility.

We utilize a variety of methods to select an appropriate discount rate depending on the depth of the corporate bond market in the
country in which the benefit plan operates. In the United States, we use a settlement approach whereby a portfolio of bonds is
selected from the universe of actively traded high-quality U.S. corporate bonds. The selected portfolio is designed to provide cash
flows sufficient to pay the plan’s expected benefit payments when due. The resulting discount rate reflects the rate of return of the
selected portfolio of bonds. For our non-U.S. locations with a sufficient number of actively traded high-quality bonds, an analysis is
performed in which the projected cash flows from the defined benefit plans are discounted against a yield curve constructed with
an appropriate universe of high-quality corporate bonds available in each country. In this manner, a present value is developed.
The discount rate selected is the single equivalent rate that produces the same present value. For countries that lack a sufficient
corporate bond market, a government bond index adjusted for an appropriate risk premium is used to establish the discount rate.
Assumptions for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets are based on future expectations for returns for each asset
class and the effect of periodic target asset allocation rebalancing. We adjust the results for the payment of reasonable expenses
of the plan from plan assets. We believe our assumptions are appropriate based on the investment mix and long-term nature of the
plans’ investments. Assumptions used for the non-U.S. defined benefit plans reflect the different economic environments within the
various countries.

Deferred compensation plans
We have deferred compensation plans that allow U.S. employees whose base salary and management responsibility exceed a
certain level to defer receipt of a portion of their cash compensation. Payments under these plans are made based on the
participant’s distribution election and plan balance. Participants can earn a return on their deferred compensation based on
notional investments in the same investment funds that are offered in our defined contribution plans.
As of December 31, 2019, our liability to participants of the deferred compensation plans was $298 million and is recorded in other
long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount reflects the accumulated participant deferrals and earnings
thereon as of that date. As of December 31, 2019, we held $272 million in mutual funds related to these plans that are recorded in
long-term investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and serve as an economic hedge against changes in fair values of our
other deferred compensation liabilities. We record changes in the fair value of the liability and the related investment in SG&A as
discussed in Note 6.
9. Debt and lines of credit
Short-term borrowings
We maintain a line of credit to support commercial paper borrowings, if any, and to provide additional liquidity through bank loans.
As of December 31, 2019, we had a variable-rate revolving credit facility from a consortium of investment-grade banks that allows
us to borrow up to $2 billion until March 2024. The interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility, if drawn, is indexed to the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As of December 31, 2019, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no
commercial paper outstanding.

Indemnification guarantees
We routinely sell products with an intellectual property indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, we have had only
minimal, infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate any future liabilities
that may result.
Warranty costs/product liabilities
We accrue for known product-related claims if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. During the periods presented,
there have been no material accruals or payments regarding product warranty or product liability. Historically, we have
experienced a low rate of payments on product claims. Although we cannot predict the likelihood or amount of any future claims,
we do not believe they will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Our stated
warranties for semiconductor products obligate us to repair, replace or credit the purchase price of a covered product back to the
buyer. Product claim consideration may exceed the price of our products.
General
We are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters,
we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.

In April 2019, we sold our manufacturing facility in Greenock, Scotland.
In January 2020, we announced a multiyear plan to close our two remaining factories with 150-millimeter production, which are
more than 50 years old and located in Sherman and Dallas, Texas. Production will be transitioned from these sites to our more
advanced and cost-effective 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facilities in North Texas. We expect this transition to be completed in
the next three to five years. Charges for these closures cannot be reasonably estimated until a later phase of the transition.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Texas Instruments Incorporated
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Instruments Incorporated (the Company) as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013
framework) and our report dated February 20, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a
test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The
communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as
a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter
or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.

Uncertain tax positions
Description of the
matter
How we addressed the
matter in our audit
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company operates in the
United States and multiple international tax jurisdictions, and its income tax returns are subject to
examination by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any tax position on these
returns. Uncertainty in a tax position may arise because tax laws are subject to interpretation. The
Company uses significant judgment to (1) determine whether, based on the technical merits, a tax
position is more likely than not to be sustained and (2) measure the amount of tax benefit that qualifies
for recognition. Auditing management’s estimate of the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for
recognition involved auditor judgment because management’s estimate is complex, requires a high
degree of judgment and is based on interpretations of tax laws and legal rulings.
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of
controls over the Company’s accounting process for uncertain tax positions. For example, this included
controls over the Company’s assessment of the technical merits of tax positions and management’s
process to measure the benefit of those tax positions. Among other procedures performed, we
involved our tax professionals to assess the technical merits of the Company’s tax positions. This
included assessing the Company’s correspondence with the relevant tax authorities and evaluating
income tax opinions or other third-party advice obtained by the Company. We also evaluated the
appropriateness of the Company’s accounting for its tax positions taking into consideration relevant
international and local income tax laws and legal rulings. We analyzed the Company’s assumptions
and data used to determine the amount of tax benefit to recognize and tested the accuracy of the
calculations. We also evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s financial statement disclosures in
Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements related to these tax matters.

An evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.
Internal control over financial reporting
Report by management on internal control over financial reporting
The management of TI is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. TI’s internal
control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements issued for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2019 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
TI management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this
assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013
framework) (the COSO criteria) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of
December 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the COSO criteria.
TI’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting, which immediately follows this report.

Basis for opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying report by management on internal
control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notice regarding forward-looking statements
This report includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as TI or its
management “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates” or other words or phrases of similar
import. Similarly, statements herein that describe TI’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are
forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements.
We urge you to carefully consider the following important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
expectations of TI or our management:
• Economic, social and political conditions, and natural events in the countries in which we, our customers or our suppliers
operate, including global trade policies;
• Market demand for semiconductors, particularly in the industrial and automotive markets, and customer demand that
differs from forecasts;
• Our ability to compete in products and prices in an intensely competitive industry;
• Evolving cybersecurity and other threats relating to our information technology systems or those of our customers or
suppliers;
• Our ability to successfully implement and realize opportunities from strategic, business and organizational changes, or our
ability to realize our expectations regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges and associated cost savings;
• Our ability to develop, manufacture and market innovative products in a rapidly changing technological environment, and
our timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation of manufacturing equipment;
• Availability and cost of raw materials, utilities, manufacturing equipment, third-party manufacturing services and
manufacturing technology;
• Product liability, warranty or other claims relating to our products, manufacturing, delivery, services, design or
communications, or recalls by our customers for a product containing one of our parts;
• Compliance with or changes in the complex laws, rules and regulations to which we are or may become subject, or actions
of enforcement authorities, that restrict our ability to operate our business, or subject us to fines, penalties or other legal
liability;
• Changes in tax law and accounting standards that impact the tax rate applicable to us, the jurisdictions in which profits are
determined to be earned and taxed, adverse resolution of tax audits, increases in tariff rates, and the ability to realize
deferred tax assets;
• A loss suffered by one of our customers or distributors with respect to TI-consigned inventory;
• Financial difficulties of our distributors or their promotion of competing product lines to our detriment; or disputes with
significant distributors;
• Losses or curtailments of purchases from key customers or the timing and amount of distributor and other customer
inventory adjustments;
• Our ability to maintain or improve profit margins, including our ability to utilize our manufacturing facilities at sufficient
levels to cover our fixed operating costs, in an intensely competitive and cyclical industry and changing regulatory
environment;
• Our ability to maintain and enforce a strong intellectual property portfolio and maintain freedom of operation in all
jurisdictions where we conduct business; or our exposure to infringement claims;
• Instability in the global credit and financial markets;
• Increases in health care and pension benefit costs;
• Our ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel, and effectively manage key employee succession; and
• Impairments of our non-financial assets.
For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the Risk factors discussion in Item 1A of this report. The forward-looking
statements included in this report are made only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update the
forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. If we do update any forward-looking statement, you
should not infer that we will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking statement.

MAILING ADDRESS: P.O. BOX 660199, DALLAS, TX 75266-0199
Voting procedures, quorum and attendance requirements
TI’s board of directors requests your proxy for the annual meeting of stockholders on April 23, 2020. If you sign and return the
enclosed proxy, or vote by telephone or on the internet, you authorize the persons named in the proxy to represent you and
vote your shares for the purposes mentioned in the notice of annual meeting. This proxy statement and related proxy are being
distributed on or about March 10, 2020. If you come to the meeting, you can vote in person. If you do not come to the meeting,
your shares can be voted only if you have returned a properly signed proxy or followed the telephone or internet voting instructions,
which can be found on the enclosed proxy. If you sign and return your proxy but do not give voting instructions, the shares
represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by the board of directors. You can revoke your authorization at any time
before the shares are voted at the meeting.
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. If at least a majority of the shares of TI common stock issued
and outstanding and entitled to vote are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Abstentions and broker non-votes are
counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner who holds company
stock through a broker does not provide the broker with voting instructions as to any matter on which the broker is not permitted to
exercise its discretion and vote without specific instruction.
Shown below is a list of the matters to be considered at the meeting (each of which is discussed elsewhere in this proxy
statement), and the vote required for election or approval, as the case may be.

The board prefers a mix of background and experience among its members. The board does not follow any ratio or formula to
determine the appropriate mix. Rather, it uses its judgment to identify nominees whose backgrounds, attributes and experiences,
taken as a whole, will contribute to the high standards of board service at the company. The board actively seeks women and
minority candidates for the pool from which board candidates are chosen. Maintaining a balance of tenure among the directors is
also part of the board’s consideration. Longer-serving directors bring valuable experience with the company and familiarity with
the strategic and operational challenges it has faced over the years, while newer directors bring fresh perspectives and ideas. To
help maintain this balance, the company has a mandatory retirement policy, pursuant to which directors cannot stand for election
after reaching age 70. The effectiveness of the board’s approach to board composition decisions is evidenced by the directors’
participation in the insightful and robust, yet respectful, deliberation that occurs at board and committee meetings, and in shaping
the agendas for those meetings.

Nominee criteria
In evaluating prospective nominees and as stated in our corporate governance guidelines, the Governance and Stockholder
Relations (GSR) Committee considers the following criteria:
• Outstanding achievement in the individual’s personal career.
• Relevant commercial expertise.
• International operations experience.
• Financial acumen.
• Government experience.
• Standards of integrity and soundness of judgment.
• Ability to make independent, analytical inquiries.
• Ability to represent the total corporate interests of TI (a director will not be selected to, nor be expected to, represent the
interests of any particular group).
• Board diversity (viewpoints, gender, ethnicity).
• Willingness and ability to devote the time required to perform board activities adequately. Directors should not serve on the
boards of more than four other public companies.
Nominee assessment
As it considered director nominees for the 2020 annual meeting, the board kept in mind that the most important issues it considers
typically relate to the company’s strategic direction; succession planning for senior executive positions; the company’s financial
performance; the challenges of running a large, complex enterprise, including the management of its risks; major acquisitions and
divestitures; and significant research and development (R&D) and capital investment decisions. These issues arise in the context of
the company’s operations, which primarily involve the manufacture and sale of semiconductors all over the world into industrial,
automotive, personal electronics, communications equipment and enterprise systems markets.
As described below, each of our director nominees has achieved an extremely high level of success in his or her career, whether at
multi-billion dollar, multinational corporate enterprises or significant governmental organizations. In these positions, each has been
directly involved in the challenges relating to setting the strategic direction and managing the financial performance, personnel and
processes of large, complex organizations. Each has had exposure to effective leaders and has developed the ability to judge
leadership qualities. Ten of the director nominees have experience in serving on the board of directors of at least one other major
corporation, and one has served in high political office, all of which provides additional relevant experience on which each nominee
can draw.
In concluding that each nominee should serve as a director, the board relied on the specific experiences and attributes listed below
and on the direct personal knowledge (except as to Mr. Hsu who will join the board April 1, 2020), born of previous service on the
board, that each of the nominees brings insight to board deliberations as well as a willingness to ask challenging questions.
All nominees for directorship will be directors of the company at the time of the annual meeting. Mr. Hsu is the only director
nominee at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders who is standing for election by the stockholders for the first time. A search
firm retained by the company to assist the GSR Committee in identifying and evaluating potential nominees initially identified
Mr. Hsu as a potential director candidate. The search firm conducted research to identify a number of potential candidates, based
on the qualifications and skills the GSR Committee determined that candidates should possess. It then conducted further research
on the candidates in whom the GSR Committee had the most interest. Following this process, Mr. Hsu was unanimously elected to
the company’s board of directors.
With the election of Mr. Hsu, the board believes its current size is within the desired range as stated in the board’s corporate
governance guidelines.

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 GSR Committee, that is responsible for reviewing and recommending nominees to the board. The GSR
Committee is comprised solely of independent directors as defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) and the
board’s corporate governance guidelines. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the GSR Committee. It can be
found on our website at www.ti.com/corporategovernance.
It is a long-standing policy of the board to consider prospective board nominees recommended by stockholders. A stockholder
who wishes to recommend a prospective board nominee for the GSR Committee’s consideration can write to the Secretary of the
GSR Committee, Texas Instruments Incorporated, P.O. Box 655936, MS 8658, Dallas, TX 75265-5936. The GSR Committee will
evaluate the stockholder’s prospective board nominee in the same manner as it evaluates other nominees.
Under the company’s by-laws, a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least 3 percent of the company’s
outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years, may nominate and include in the company’s proxy materials
director nominees constituting up to the greater of two individuals or 20 percent of the board of directors, provided that the
stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the by-laws, which can be found on our website at
www.ti.com/corporategovernance.
The company’s by-laws also allow stockholders to nominate directors without involving the GSR Committee or including the
nominee in the company’s proxy materials. To do so, stockholders must comply with the requirements set forth in the by-laws.

Communications with the board
Stockholders and others who wish to communicate with the board, a board committee or an individual director may write to
them at: P.O. Box 655936, MS 8658, Dallas, TX 75265-5936. All communications addressed to the board, a board committee, or
an individual director that are sent to this address will be shared with the addressee.
Corporate governance
The board has a long-standing commitment to responsible and effective corporate governance. We annually conduct extensive
governance reviews and engage in investor outreach specific to governance, executive compensation and environmental and
social matters. The board’s corporate governance guidelines (which include the director independence standards), the charters of
each of the board’s committees, TI’s code of conduct, our code of ethics for our CEO and senior financial officers and our by-laws
are available on our website at www.ti.com/corporategovernance. Stockholders may request copies of these documents free of
charge by writing to Texas Instruments Incorporated, P.O. Box 660199, MS 8657, Dallas, TX 75266-0199, Attn: Investor Relations.
Annual meeting attendance
It is a policy of the board to encourage directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Attendance allows for direct
interaction between stockholders and board members. In 2019, all directors then in office and standing for re-election attended
TI’s annual meeting of stockholders.
Director independence
The board has determined that each of our directors is independent except for Mr. Templeton. In connection with this
determination, information was reviewed regarding directors’ business and charitable affiliations, directors’ immediate family
members and their employers, and any transactions or arrangements between the company and such persons or entities. The
board has adopted the following standards for determining independence.
A.
In no event will a director be considered independent if:
1.
2.
He or she is a current partner of or is employed by the company’s independent auditors;
A family member of the director is (a) a current partner of the company’s independent auditors or (b) currently employed
by the company’s independent auditors and personally works on the company’s audit;
3. Within the current or preceding three fiscal years he or she was, and remains at the time of the determination, a partner
in or a controlling shareholder, an executive officer or an employee of an organization that in the current year or any of
the past three fiscal years (a) made payments to, or received payments from, the company for property or services,
(b) extended loans to or received loans from, the company, or (c) received charitable contributions from the company, in
an amount or amounts which, in the aggregate in such fiscal year, exceeded the greater of $200,000 or 2 percent of the
recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year (for purposes of this standard, “payments” excludes payments
arising solely from investments in the company’s securities and payments under non-discretionary charitable
contribution matching programs); or
4. Within the current or preceding three fiscal years a family member of the director was, and remains at the time of the
determination, a partner in or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of an organization that in the current year
or any of the past three fiscal years (a) made payments to, or received payments from, the company for property or
services, (b) extended loans to or received loans from the company, or (c) received charitable contributions from the
company, in an amount or amounts which, in the aggregate in such fiscal year, exceeded the greater of $200,000 or
2 percent of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year (for purposes of this standard, “payments”
excludes payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities and payments under non-discretionary
charitable contribution matching programs).

(a) compensation for board or board committee service, (b) compensation received for former service lasting no longer

under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation);

A family member of the director was employed as an executive officer by the company;
A family member of the director received more than $120,000 during any twelve-month period in compensation from
the company (excluding compensation as a non-executive officer employee of the company);
He or she was (but is no longer) a partner or employee of the company’s independent auditors and worked on the
company’s audit within that time;
A family member of the director was (but is no longer) a partner or employee of the company’s independent auditors
and worked on the company’s audit within that time;
He or she was an executive officer of another entity at which any of the company’s current executive officers at any time
during the past three years served on that entity’s compensation committee; or
A family member of the director was an executive officer of another entity at which any of the company’s current
executive officers at any time during the past three years served on that entity’s compensation committee.
C.
No member of the Audit Committee may accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from
the company, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board or any board committee. Compensatory fees do not
include the receipt of fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan (including deferred compensation) for prior
service with the company (provided that such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service). In addition,
no member of the Audit Committee may be an affiliated person of the company except in his or her capacity as a director.
D. With respect to service on the Compensation Committee, the board will consider all factors that it deems relevant to
determining whether a director has a relationship to the company that is material to that director’s ability to be independent
from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including but not limited to:
The source of compensation of the director, including any consulting, advisory or compensatory fee paid by the
1.
company to the director; and
2. Whether the director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the
company.
E.
For any other relationship, the determination of whether it would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities, 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, “company” and “family member” will have the same meaning as under
Nasdaq rules.

The Compensation Committee met six times in 2019. The Compensation Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings, reports
its activities to the board, and consults with the board before setting annual executive compensation. See page 31 for a report of
the committee.
In performing its functions, the committee is supported by the company’s Human Resources organization. The committee has
the authority to retain any advisors it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The committee retained Pearl Meyer &
Partners as its compensation consultant for the 2019 compensation cycle. The committee instructed the consultant to advise it
directly on executive compensation philosophy, strategies, pay levels, decision-making processes and other matters within the
scope of the committee’s charter. Additionally, the committee instructed the consultant to assist the company’s Human Resources
organization in its support of the committee in these matters with such items as peer-group assessment, analysis of the executive
compensation market, and compensation recommendations.
The Compensation Committee considers it important that its compensation consultant’s objectivity not be compromised by
other engagements with the company or its management. In support of this belief, the committee has a policy on compensation
consultants, a copy of which may be found on www.ti.com/corporategovernance. During 2019, the committee determined that
its compensation consultant was independent of the company and had no conflict of interest.
The Compensation Committee considers executive compensation in a multistep process that involves the review of market
information, performance data and possible compensation levels over several meetings leading to the annual determinations in
January. Before setting executive compensation, the committee reviews the total compensation and benefits of the executive
officers and considers the impact that their retirement, or termination under various other scenarios, would have on their
compensation and benefits.
The CEO and the senior vice president responsible for Human Resources, who is an executive officer, are regularly invited to
attend meetings of the committee. The CEO is excused from the meeting during any deliberations or vote on his compensation. No
executive officer determines his or her own compensation or the compensation of any other executive officer. As members of the
board, the members of the committee receive information concerning the performance of the company during the year and interact
with our management. The CEO gives the committee and the board an assessment of his own performance during the year just
ended. He also reviews the performance of the other executive officers with the committee and makes recommendations regarding
their compensation. The senior vice president responsible for Human Resources assists in the preparation of and reviews the
compensation recommendations made to the committee other than for her compensation.
The Compensation Committee’s charter provides that it may delegate its power, authority and rights with respect to TI’s long-term
incentive plans, employee stock purchase plan and employee benefit plans to (i) one or more committees of the board established
or delegated authority for that purpose; or (ii) employees or committees of employees except that no such delegation may be made
with respect to compensation of the company’s executive officers.
Pursuant to that authority, the Compensation Committee has delegated to a special committee established by the board the
authority to, among other things, grant a limited number of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) under the company’s
long-term incentive plans. The sole member of the special committee is Mr. Templeton. The special committee has no authority to
grant, amend or terminate any form of compensation for TI’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews all activity
of the special committee.
Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee
All members of the GSR Committee are independent. From April 26, 2019, to April 24, 2019, the committee members were
Mr. Kirk (Chair), Mr. Ralph W. Babb, Jr., Ms. Clark and Mr. Sanchez. Since April 25, 2019, the committee members have been

The GSR Committee met six times in 2019. The GSR Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings and reports its activities
to the board. See “Director nomination process” for a discussion of stockholder nominations and recommendations and
“Communications with the board” for details on how to contact the board.
Board evaluation process
The board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential part of good corporate governance and
board effectiveness. The board and committee annual evaluation processes are designed to assess board and committee
effectiveness, as well as individual director performance and contribution levels. The results of the evaluations are part of the GSR
Committee’s and the board’s consideration in connection with their review of director nominees to ensure the board continues to
operate effectively.
Annually, each of our directors completes comprehensive board and committee questionnaires. Each committee oversees its
own evaluation process, and the GSR Committee also oversees the board evaluation process. The questionnaires, and ongoing
feedback from individual directors, facilitate a candid assessment of: (i) the board and committees’ oversight of risk, strategy, and
operations; (ii) the board’s culture, leadership structure, and mix of director skills, qualifications and experiences; and (iii) board
and committee meeting mechanics. Our directors are willing to have honest and difficult conversations as needed during the
evaluation and nomination process.
Board leadership structure
The board’s current leadership structure combines the positions of chairman and CEO, and includes a lead director who presides at
executive sessions and performs the duties listed below. The board believes that this structure, combined with its other practices
(such as (a) including on each board agenda an opportunity for the independent directors to comment on and influence the
proposed strategic agenda for future meetings and (b) holding an executive session of the independent directors at each board
meeting), allows it to maintain the active engagement of independent directors and appropriate oversight of management.
The lead director is elected by the independent directors annually. The independent directors have elected Ms. Patsley to serve as
lead director. The duties of the lead director are to:
• Preside at all meetings of the board at which the chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent
directors;
• Serve as liaison between the chairman and the independent directors;
• Approve information sent to the board;
• Approve meeting agendas for the board
• Approve meeting schedules to assure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items; and
• If requested by major shareholders, ensure that he or she is available for consultation and direct communication.

In addition, the lead director has authority to call meetings of the independent directors.
The board, led by its GSR Committee, regularly reviews the board’s leadership structure. The board’s consideration is guided by
two questions: would stockholders be better served and would the board be more effective with a different structure. The board’s
views are informed by a review of the practices of other companies and insight into the preferences of top stockholders, as
gathered from face-to-face dialogue and review of published guidelines. The board also considers how board roles and
interactions would change if its leadership structure changed. The board’s goal is for each director to have an equal stake in
the board’s actions and equal accountability to the corporation and its stockholders.
The board continues to believe that there is no uniform solution for a board leadership structure. Indeed, the company has had
varying board leadership models over its history, at times separating the positions of chairman and CEO and at times combining
the two, and now utilizing a lead director.
Risk oversight by the board
It is management’s responsibility to assess and manage the various risks TI faces. It is the board’s responsibility to oversee
management in this effort. In exercising its oversight, the board has allocated some areas of focus to its committees and has
retained areas of focus for itself, as more fully described below.
Management generally views the risks TI faces as falling into the following categories: strategic, operational, financial and
compliance. The board as a whole has oversight responsibility for the company’s strategic and operational risks (e.g., major
initiatives, competitive markets and products, sales and marketing, R&D and cybersecurity). Throughout the year the CEO
discusses these risks with the board. Additionally, at least once each year, the company’s chief information officer provides
information on the cybersecurity risks and the company’s approach to protecting the company’s data and systems infrastructure
with the board. In the event of a material cybersecurity event, management would notify the board and, in compliance with our
procedures, determine the timing and extent of the response and public disclosure, and whether and any future vulnerabilities are
expected.
TI’s Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for financial risk (such as accounting, finance, internal controls and tax strategy).
Oversight responsibility for compliance risk is shared by the board committees. For example, the Audit Committee oversees
compliance with the company’s code of conduct and finance- and accounting-related laws and policies, as well as the company’s
compliance program itself; the Compensation Committee oversees compliance with the company’s executive compensation plans
and related laws and policies; and the GSR Committee oversees compliance with governance-related laws and policies, including
the company’s corporate governance guidelines.
The Audit Committee oversees the company’s approach to risk management as a whole. The company’s CFO reviews the
company’s risk management process with the Audit Committee at least annually. In addition, the company’s chief information
officer reviews the company’s information technology systems with the Audit Committee periodically and includes a discussion
of key cybersecurity risks as appropriate.
The board’s leadership structure is consistent with the board and committees’ roles in risk oversight. As discussed above, the
board has found that its current structure and practices are effective in fully engaging the independent directors. Allocating various
aspects of risk oversight among the committees provides for similar engagement. Having the chairman and CEO review strategic
and operational risks with the board ensures that the director most knowledgeable about the company, the industry in which it
operates and the competition and other challenges it faces shares those insights with the board, providing for a thorough and
efficient process.
Director compensation
The GSR Committee has responsibility for reviewing and making recommendations to the board on compensation for
non-employee directors, with the board making the final determination. The committee has no authority to delegate its
responsibility regarding director compensation. In carrying out this responsibility, it is supported by TI’s Human Resources
organization. The CEO, the senior vice president responsible for Human Resources and the Secretary review the recommendations
made to the committee. The CEO also votes, as a member of the board, on the compensation of non-employee directors.

The compensation arrangements in 2019 for the non-employee directors were:
• Annual retainer of $85,000 for board and committee service.
• Additional annual retainer of $25,000 for service as the lead director.
• Additional annual retainer of $30,000 for service as chair of the Audit Committee; $20,000 for service as chair of the
Compensation Committee; and $15,000 for service as chair of the GSR Committee.
• Annual grant of a 10-year option to purchase TI common stock pursuant to the terms of the Texas Instruments 2018
Director Compensation Plan (Director Plan), which was approved by stockholders in April 2018. The grant date value is
$100,000, determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model (subject to the board’s ability to adjust the grant
downward). These non-qualified options become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first
anniversary of the grant and also will become fully exercisable in the event of termination of service following a change in
control (as defined in the Director Plan) of TI. If a director’s service terminates due to death, disability or ineligibility to stand
for re-election under the company’s by-laws, or after the director has completed eight years of service, then all outstanding
options held by the director shall continue to become exercisable in accordance with their terms. If a director’s service
terminates for any other reason, all outstanding options held by the director shall be exercisable for 30 days after the date
of termination, but only to the extent such options were exercisable on the date of termination.
• Annual grant of restricted stock units pursuant to the Director Plan with a grant date value of $100,000 (subject to the
board’s ability to adjust the grant downward). The restricted stock units vest on the fourth anniversary of their date of grant
and upon a change in control as defined in the Director Plan. If a director is not a member of the board on the fourth
anniversary of the grant, restricted stock units will nonetheless settle (i.e., the shares will issue) on such anniversary date if
the director has completed eight years of service prior to termination or the director’s termination was due to death,
disability or ineligibility to stand for re-election under the company’s by-laws. The director may defer settlement of the
restricted stock units at his or her election. Upon settlement, the director will receive one share of TI common stock for
each restricted stock unit. Dividend equivalents are paid on the restricted stock units at the same rate as dividends on TI
common stock. The director may defer receipt of dividend equivalents.
• $1,000 per day compensation for other activities designated by the chairman.
• A one-time grant of 2,000 restricted stock units upon a director’s initial election to the board.
The board has determined that annual grants of equity compensation to non-employee directors will be timed to occur in January
when grants are made to our U.S. employees in connection with the annual compensation review process. See “Process for equity
grants” for a discussion regarding the timing of equity compensation grants.
It is against TI policy for any employee, including an executive officer, or director to engage in trading in “puts” (options to sell at a
fixed price), “calls” (similar options to buy), or other options or hedging techniques on TI stock specifically designed to limit losses
on TI stock or equity compensation held by the employee or director.
Directors are not paid a fee for meeting attendance, but we reimburse non-employee directors for their travel, lodging and related
expenses incurred in connection with attending board, committee and stockholders meetings and other designated events. In
addition, non-employee directors may travel on company aircraft to and from these meetings and other designated events.
Under the Director Plan, some directors have chosen to defer all or part of their cash compensation. These deferred amounts are
credited to either a cash account or stock unit account. Cash accounts earn interest from TI at a rate currently based on Moody’s
Seasoned Aaa Corporate Bonds. For 2019, that rate was 3.99 percent. Stock unit accounts fluctuate in value with the underlying
shares of TI common stock, which will be issued after the deferral period. Dividend equivalents are paid on these stock units.
Directors may also defer settlement of the restricted stock units they receive.
We have arrangements with certain customers whereby our employees may purchase consumer products containing TI
components at discounted pricing. In addition, the TI Foundation has an educational and cultural matching gift program. In
both cases, directors are entitled to participate on the same terms and conditions available to employees.
Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in any TI-sponsored pension plan.

(1) Mr. Hsu was elected to the board effective April 1, 2020, and accordingly received no compensation for services as a TI
director in 2019. Mr. Babb and Mr. Carp, independent directors, reached the age of 70 by the date of the 2019 annual
meeting and therefore were ineligible under the company’s by-laws to stand for re-election at the meeting.

Includes amounts deferred at the director’s election.
Shown is the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted in 2019 calculated in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718).
The discussion of the assumptions used for purposes of calculating the grant date fair value appears in Note 3 to the financial
statements contained in Item 8 (“Note 3 to the 2019 financial statements”) in TI’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2019. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of TI common stock. For
restricted stock units granted prior to 2007, shares are issued at the time of mandatory retirement from the board (age 70) or
upon the earlier of termination of service from the board after completing eight years of service or death or disability. For
information regarding share issuances under restricted stock units granted after 2006, see the discussion on page 36.

SEC rules require the disclosure of earnings on deferred compensation to the extent that the interest rate exceeds a specified
rate (Federal Rate), which is 120 percent of the applicable federal long-term interest rate with compounding. Under the terms
of the Director Plan, deferred compensation cash amounts earn interest at a rate based on Moody’s Seasoned Aaa Corporate
Bonds. For 2019, this interest rate exceeded the Federal Rate by 0.42 percentage points. Shown is the amount of interest
earned on the directors’ deferred compensation accounts that was in excess of the Federal Rate.
Consists of (a) the annual cost ($40 per director) of premiums for travel and accident insurance policies, (b) contributions under
the TI Foundation matching gift program of $30,000 for Ms. Clark, $22,500 for Ms. Cox, $27,500 for Mr. Craighead, $15,049 for
Mr. Kirk, $30,000 for Ms. Patsley and $20,000 for Mr. Sanchez and (c) for Mr. Carp, third-party administration fees for the
Director Award Program. Each director whose service commenced prior to June 20, 2002, is eligible to participate in the Director
Award Program, a charitable donation program under which we will contribute a total of $500,000 per eligible director to as
many as three educational institutions recommended by the director and approved by us. The contributions are made following
the director’s death. Directors receive no financial benefit from the program, and all charitable deductions belong to the
company. In accordance with SEC rules, we have included the company’s annual costs under the program in All Other
Compensation of the director who participates. The cost attributable to Mr. Carp for his participation in this program was $897.
Executive compensation
We are providing shareholders the opportunity to cast advisory votes on named executive officer compensation as required by
Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act.
Proposal regarding advisory approval of the company’s executive compensation
The “named executive officers” are the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the three other most highly
compensated executive officers, as named in the compensation tables on pages 32-43.
We ask shareholders to approve the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s compensation disclosure rules, including the Compensation Discussion
and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion on pages 20-43 of this proxy statement, is hereby approved.
We encourage shareholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of the proxy statement, which follows.
It discusses our executive compensation policies and programs and explains the compensation decisions relating to the named
executive officers for 2019. We believe that the policies and programs serve the interests of our shareholders and that the
compensation received by the named executive officers is commensurate with the performance and strategic position of
the company.

Although the outcome of this annual vote is not binding on the company or the board, the Compensation Committee of the board
will consider it when setting future compensation for the executive officers.
The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the annual resolution approving the named executive officer
compensation for 2019, as disclosed in this proxy statement.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section describes TI’s compensation program for executive officers. It will provide insight into the following:
• The elements of the 2019 compensation program, why we selected them and how they relate to one another; and
• How we determined the amount of compensation for 2019.
The executive officers of TI have the broadest job responsibilities and policy-making authority in the company. We hold them
accountable for the company’s performance and for maintaining a culture of strong ethics and compliance. Details of
compensation for our CEO, our CFO and the three other highest paid individuals who were executive officers in 2019 (collectively
called the “named executive officers”) can be found in the tables following the Compensation Committee report.
Executive summary
• TI’s compensation program is structured to pay for performance and deliver rewards that encourage executives to
think and act in both the short- and long-term interests of our shareholders. The majority of total compensation for
our executives each year comes in the form of variable cash and equity compensation. Variable cash is tied to the
short-term performance of the company, and the value of equity is tied to the long-term performance of the
company. We believe our compensation program holds our executive officers accountable for the financial and
competitive performance of TI.
• 2019 compensation decisions for the CEO:
O Base salary was increased by 4.0 percent over 2018.
O The grant date fair value of equity compensation awarded in 2019 increased by 8 percent from 2018, reflecting an
effort to align with the projected market range for similarly situated CEOs in our comparator group.
O The bonus decision was based primarily on the following performance results in 2019:
2019 Absolute Performance
2019 Relative Performance *
Revenue Growth: Total TI
Profit from Operations as a % of Revenue (PFO%)
Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

Relative to semiconductor competitors as outlined under “Comparator group;” includes estimates and projections of
certain competitors’ financial results. See “Analysis of compensation determinations – Bonus – Assessment of 2019
performance” for details of the Compensation Committee’s assessment of TI’s performance. (It is important to note that
the median growth rate of competitor companies includes the benefit of acquisitions, whereas TI’s growth rate is
entirely organic.)
• Our executive compensation program is designed to encourage executive officers to pursue strategies that serve the
interests of the company and shareholders, and not to promote excessive risk-taking by our executives. It is built on a
foundation of sound corporate governance and includes:
O Executive officers do not have employment contracts and are not guaranteed salary increases, bonus amounts or
awards of equity compensation.

O We have never repriced stock options. We do not grant reload options. We grant equity compensation with double-
trigger change-in-control terms, which accelerate the vesting of grants only if the grantee has been terminated
involuntarily within a limited time after a change in control of the company.
O Bonus and equity compensation awards are subject to claw back as described under “Recoupment policy” below.
O We do not provide excessive perquisites. We provide no tax gross-ups for perquisites.
O We do not guarantee a return or provide above-market returns on compensation that has been deferred.
O Pension benefits are calculated on salary and bonus only; the proceeds earned on equity or other performance awards
are not part of the pension calculation.
Detailed discussion
Compensation philosophy and elements
The Compensation Committee of TI’s board of directors is responsible for setting the compensation of all TI executive officers. The
committee consults with the other independent directors and its compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer & Partners, before setting
annual compensation for the executives. The committee chair regularly reports on committee actions at board meetings.
The primary elements of our executive compensation program are as follows:
Near-term compensation, paid in cash
Base Salary
Purpose
Strategy
Basic, least variable form of compensation, designed to provide a stable source of income.
Generally, target market median, giving appropriate consideration to job scope and tenure, to attract and retain
highly qualified executives.
Terms
Paid twice monthly.
Profit Sharing
Purpose
Broad-based program designed to emphasize that each employee contributes to the company’s profitability and
can share in it.
Strategy
Pay according to a formula that focuses employees on a company goal, and at a level that will affect behavior.
Profit sharing is paid in addition to any performance bonus awarded for the year.
For the last 15 years, the formula has been based on company-level annual operating profit margin. The formula
was set by the TI board. The committee’s practice has been not to adjust amounts earned under the formula.
Terms
Payable in a single cash payment shortly after the end of the performance year.
As in recent years, the formula for 2019 was:
• Below 10% company-level annual operating profit as a percentage of revenue (“Margin”): no profit sharing.
• At 10% Margin: profit sharing = 2% of base salary.
• At Margin above 10%: profit sharing increases by 0.5% of base salary for each percentage point of Margin
between 10% and 24%, and 1% of base salary for each percentage point of Margin above 24%. The
maximum profit sharing is 20% of base salary.
In 2019, TI delivered Margin of 39.8%. As a result, all eligible employees, including executive officers, received
profit sharing of 20% of base salary.

Performance Bonus
Purpose
To motivate executives and reward them according to the company’s relative and absolute performance and the
executive’s individual performance.
Strategy
Determined primarily on the basis of one-year and three-year company performance on certain measures (revenue
growth percent, operating margin and total shareholder return1) as compared with competitors and on our
strategic progress in key markets and with customers. These factors have been chosen to reflect our near-term
financial performance as well as our progress in building long-term shareholder value.
The committee aims to pay total cash compensation (base salary, profit sharing and bonus) appropriately above
median if company performance is above that of competitors, and pay total cash compensation appropriately
below the median if company performance is below competitors.
The committee does not rely on formulas or performance targets or thresholds. Instead, it uses its judgment based
on its assessment of the factors described above.
Terms
Determined by the committee and paid in a single payment after the performance year.
Long-term compensation, awarded in equity
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units
Purpose
Strategy
Terms
Alignment with shareholders; long-term focus; balance retention, particularly with respect to restricted stock units,
and performance.
We grant a combination of nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units, generally targeted at the median
level of equity compensation awarded to executives in similar positions within the Comparator Group.
The terms and conditions of stock options and restricted stock units are summarized under “Outstanding equity
awards at fiscal year-end 2019.” The committee’s grant procedures are described under “Process for equity
grants.”
Comparator group
The Compensation Committee considers the market level of compensation when setting the salary, bonuses and equity
compensation of the executive officers. To estimate the market level of pay, the committee uses information provided by its
compensation consultant and TI’s Compensation and Benefits organization about compensation paid to executives in similar
positions at a peer group of companies (the “Comparator Group”).
The committee sets the Comparator Group and reviews it annually. In general, the Comparator Group companies (i) are U.S.-based,
(ii) engage in the semiconductor business, other electronics or information technology activities or use sophisticated manufacturing
processes, (iii) have executive positions comparable in complexity to those of TI and (iv) use forms of executive compensation
comparable to TI’s.
Shown in the table below is the Comparator Group used for the compensation decisions for 2019.
3M Company
Accenture plc
Analog Devices, Inc.
Applied Materials, Inc.
Broadcom Inc.
Cisco Systems, Inc.

1 Total shareholder return refers to the percentage change in the value of a shareholder’s investment in a company over the
relevant time period, as determined by dividends paid and the change in the company’s share price during the period. See notes
to the performance summary table under “Analysis of compensation determinations – Bonus.”

The committee set the Comparator Group in July 2018 for the base salary and equity compensation decisions it made in 2019. For
a discussion of the factors considered by the committee in setting the Comparator Group in July 2018, please see “Comparator
group” on pages 21-22 of the company’s 2019 proxy statement.
In July 2019, the committee conducted its regular review of the Comparator Group in terms of industry, revenue and market
capitalization. With the advice of its compensation consultant, the committee decided to make no change to the group.
Accordingly, the committee used the same Comparator Group for the bonus decisions in January 2020 relating to 2019
performance as it used to set salary and equity compensation in January 2019. The table below compares the current Comparator
Group to TI in terms of revenue and market capitalization.

Analysis of compensation determinations
Total compensation
Before finalizing the compensation of the executive officers, the committee reviewed all elements of compensation. The
information included total cash compensation (salary, profit sharing and projected bonus), the grant date fair value of equity
compensation, the impact that proposed compensation would have on other compensation elements such as pension, and a
summary of benefits that the executives would receive under various termination scenarios. The review enabled the committee to
see how various compensation elements relate to one another and what impact its decisions would have on the total earnings
opportunity of the executives. In assessing the information, the committee did not target a specific level of total compensation or
use a formula to allocate compensation among the various elements. Instead, it used its judgment in assessing whether the total
was consistent with the objectives of the program. Based on this review, the committee determined that the level of compensation
was appropriate.

For each of these executive officers, the committee set the 2019 base-salary rate listed above in January 2019. In keeping with its
strategy, the committee targeted the annual base-salary rates to be at the estimated median level of salaries expected to be paid
to similarly situated executives (considering job scope and tenure) of companies within the Comparator Group in January 2019.
The salary differences between the named executive officers were driven primarily by the market rate of pay (considering job
scope and tenure) for each officer and not the application of a formula designed to maintain a differential between the officers.
Equity compensation
In 2019, the committee awarded equity compensation to each of the named executive officers listed below. The grants are
shown in the table under “Grants of plan-based awards in 2019.” The grant date fair value of the awards is reflected in that table
and in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the 2019 summary compensation table. The table below is provided
to assist the reader in comparing the grant date fair values and number of shares for each of the years shown in the summary
compensation table.

In assessing the market level, the committee considered information presented by TI’s Compensation and Benefits organization
(prepared using data provided by the committee’s compensation consultant) on the estimated value of the awards expected to be
granted to similarly situated executives (considering job scope and tenure) of companies within the Comparator Group. The award
value was estimated using the same methodology used for financial accounting.
For each officer, the committee set the desired grant value. The committee decided to allocate the value equally between restricted
stock units and options for each officer, to give equal emphasis to promoting retention and performance, motivating the executive
and aligning interests with those of shareholders.
Before approving the grants, the committee reviewed the amount of unvested equity compensation held by the officers to assess
its retention value. In making this assessment, the committee used its judgment and did not apply any formula, threshold or
maximum. This review did not result in an increase or decrease of the awards.
The exercise price of the options was the closing price of TI stock on January 25, 2019, the second trading day after the company
released its annual and fourth-quarter financial results for 2018. All grants were made under the Texas Instruments 2009
Long-Term Incentive Plan, which shareholders approved in April 2009 and amended in 2016.
All grants have the terms described under “Outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end 2019.” The differences in the equity awards
between the named executive officers were primarily the result of differences in the applicable estimated market level of equity
compensation for their positions, and not the application of any formula designed to maintain differentials between the officers.
Bonus
In January 2020, the committee set the 2019 bonus compensation for executive officers based on its assessment of 2019
performance. In setting the bonuses, the committee used the following performance measures to assess the company:
• The relative one-year and three-year performance of TI as compared with competitor companies, as measured by
O revenue growth,
O operating profit as a percentage of revenue,
O total shareholder return, and
• The absolute one-year and three-year performance of TI on the above measures.
In addition, the committee considered strategic progress by reviewing TI competitiveness in key markets with core products and
technologies, as well as the strength of relationships with customers.
In assessing performance, the committee did not use formulas, thresholds or multiples. Because market conditions can quickly
change in our industry, thresholds established at the beginning of a year could prove irrelevant by year-end. The committee
believes its approach, which assesses the company’s relative performance in hindsight after year-end, gives it the insight to most
effectively and critically judge results and encourages executives to pursue strategies that serve the long-term interests of the
company and its shareholders.
In the comparison of relative performance, the committee used the following companies (the “competitor companies”):
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Analog Devices, Inc.
Broadcom Inc.
Infineon Technologies AG
Intel Corporation
Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
Microchip Technology Incorporated

This list includes both broad-based and niche suppliers that operate in our key markets or offer technology that competes with our
products. The committee considers annually whether the list is still appropriate in terms of revenue, market capitalization and
changes in business activities of the companies. The committee made no changes to the list of competitor companies in 2019.
Assessment of 2019 performance
The committee spent extensive time in December and January assessing TI’s results and strategic progress for 2019. In
setting bonuses, the committee considered quantitative and qualitative measures on both an absolute and relative basis and
made certain that resulting decisions were founded on both solid data and sound judgment. On an absolute basis, operating
profit margin was positive and better than median relative to competitors while revenue decreased and revenue growth rate
remained below median. TSR was also positive on an absolute basis and slightly below median relative to competitors. Free
cash flow for the year was $5.8 billion and 40% of revenue. In aggregate, the committee determined that while the
company’s strategic position and operating performance continued to be strong, the 2019 relative revenue growth rate was
disappointing. Therefore, the committee targeted a bonus decrease of 5 percent for 2019, with business performance
influencing individual decisions for named executive officers. Details on the committee’s assessment are below.
Revenue and margin
• Annual performance
O TI’s revenue was lower in 2019 than in the prior year, decreasing by 8.9 percent, and was below the median
growth rate of competitor companies. It is important to note that the median growth rate of competitor
companies includes the benefit of acquisitions, whereas TI’s growth rate is entirely organic.
O Revenues for the company’s core businesses of Analog and Embedded Processing declined 5.4 percent and
17.2 percent, respectively.
O Operating profit margin was 39.8 percent, which was above the median comparison with competitors but
below the prior year.
• Three-year performance
O Compound annual revenue growth for 2017-2019 was 2.5 percent, which was below the median competitor
comparison. It is important to note that the median growth rate of competitor companies includes the benefit
of acquisitions, whereas TI’s growth rate is entirely organic.
O Average operating profit for 2017-2019 was 41.0 percent, which was above the median competitor comparison.
Total shareholder return (TSR)
• TSR was 39.6 percent, slightly below the median TSR as compared with competitor companies.
• The company again generated strong cash, with free cash flow at 40.3 percent of revenue.2 Approximately
103 percent of free cash flow was returned to shareholders in 2019 through share repurchases and dividends. Share
repurchases of $3.0 billion reduced outstanding shares by 1.4 percent (net of stock issuances during the year). The
quarterly dividend rate increased 16.9 percent (the 18th increase in the last 16 years). Share repurchases and dividend
increases are important elements of TI’s capital management strategy.
• The balance sheet remained robust, ending the year with cash and short-term investments of $5.4 billion.
• The three-year compound annual growth rate for TSR was 23.9 percent, which was above the median competitor
comparison.
Strategic progress
• The company’s business model is designed around four sustainable competitive advantages that in combination put
us in a unique class of companies. These advantages include (i) manufacturing and technology, (ii) breadth
of differentiated product portfolio, (iii) channel reach of sales force and TI.com and (iv) diversity and longevity of
product, market and customer positions. In 2019, the company continued to strengthen and leverage these
advantages.
• The company’s strategic focus is on analog and embedded processing, with a particular emphasis on designing
and selling those products into the industrial and automotive markets, which we believe represent the best
growth opportunities. Focused investments in these areas continue to provide the foundation for strong results
in the near and long terms.
2 Free cash flow was calculated by subtracting Capital expenditures from the GAAP-based Cash flows from operating activities.
For a reconciliation to GAAP, see Appendix A to this proxy statement.

O TI’s broad analog and embedded processing product portfolio includes tens of thousands of products, with
more products added each year, offering strong differentiation and longevity. In 2019, greater than 90 percent
of TI’s revenue came from Analog and Embedded Processing semiconductors.
O We believe the industrial and automotive markets represent the best growth opportunity for the industry for the
foreseeable future because of the increasing semiconductor content in these markets. In 2019, approximately
57 percent of TI’s revenue came from industrial and automotive markets, up from approximately 56 percent
in 2018.
• TI’s revenue continues to come from a diverse base of thousands of applications. This is an intentional strategy that
prevents dependence on a single market, customer or product.
• Over the past several years, TI has been investing in new capabilities to establish closer direct relationships with
customers to provide better insight into their needs and allow TI to provide better service and greater assurance of
supply, among other benefits. As part of this strategy, in 2019, TI made further progress in evolving its distribution
network to better align with establishing more direct relationships with customers. As TI expands its direct customer
relationships over the next several years, the company will not have as much business flowing through the distribution
channel and therefore will require fewer distributors. TI’s investments in new and improved capabilities to directly
support our customers include website and e-commerce enhancements as well as inventory consignment programs
and order fulfillment services.
• In 2019, the company announced plans to expand its 300-millimeter footprint by building the next factory in
Richardson, Texas. TI’s in-house capability to manufacture high volumes of Analog semiconductors on 300-millimeter
wafers remains a competitive advantage due to the inherent cost advantage associated with 300-millimeter
technology versus prior generation. This cost advantage is the result of more chips being produced per wafer, thereby
improving margins and cash generation.
• In total, the committee determined that TI’s strategic position was strengthened by management’s decisions and
actions in 2019.

The bonuses awarded for 2019 performance are shown in the table below. The differences in the amounts awarded to
the named executive officers were primarily the result of differences in the officers’ level of responsibility and related
performance and the applicable market level of total cash compensation expected to be paid to similarly situated officers
at companies within the Comparator Group.
Results of the compensation decisions
Results of the compensation decisions made by the committee relating to the named executive officers are summarized in the
following table. This table is provided as a supplement to the summary compensation table for investors who may find it useful to
see the data presented in this form. Although the committee does not target a specific level of total compensation, it considers
information similar to that in the table to ensure that the sum of these elements is, in its judgment, in a reasonable range.

This table shows the annual rate of base salary for each named executive officer. In the summary compensation table, the “Salary”
column shows the actual salary paid in the year. This table has separate columns for profit sharing and bonus. In the summary
compensation table, profit sharing and bonus are aggregated in the column for “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation,” in
accordance with SEC requirements. Please see Notes 2 and 3 to the summary compensation table for information about how grant
date fair value was calculated.
For Messrs. Templeton and Lizardi, the “Total” for 2019 was higher than for 2018 primarily due to the higher equity awards in
2019, reflecting an effort to align with the projected market range for similarly situated executives in our comparator group.

Equity dilution
The Compensation Committee’s goal is to keep net annual dilution from equity compensation under 2 percent. “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 company’s outstanding common stock. Equity awards granted in 2019 resulted in
0.5 percent net annual dilution.
Process for equity grants
The Compensation Committee makes grant decisions for equity compensation at its January meeting each year. The dates on
which these meetings occur are generally set three years in advance. The January meetings of the board and the committee
generally occur in the week or two before we announce our financial results for the previous quarter and year.
On occasion, the committee may grant stock options or restricted stock units to executives at times other than January. For
example, it has done so in connection with job promotions and for purposes of retention.
We do not back-date stock options or restricted stock units. We do not accelerate or delay the release of information due to plans
for making equity grants.
If the committee meeting falls in the same month as the release of the company’s financial results, the committee’s practice is
to make grants effective (i) on the second trading day after the results have been released or (ii) on the meeting day if later. In
other months, its practice is to make them effective on the day of committee action. The exercise price of stock options is the
closing price of TI stock on the effective date of the grant.
Recoupment policy
The committee has a policy concerning recoupment (“claw back”) of executive bonuses and equity compensation. Under the
policy, in the event of a material restatement of TI’s financial results due to misconduct, the committee will review the facts and
circumstances and take the actions it considers appropriate with respect to the compensation of any executive officer whose fraud
or willful misconduct contributed to the need for such restatement. Such action may include (a) seeking reimbursement of any
bonus paid to such officer exceeding the amount that, in the judgment of the committee, would have been paid had the financial
results been properly reported and (b) seeking to recover profits received by such officer during the 12 months after the restated
period under equity compensation awards. All determinations by the committee with respect to this policy are final and binding on
all interested parties.
Most recent stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation
In April 2019, our shareholders cast an advisory vote on the company’s executive compensation decisions and policies as
disclosed in the proxy statement issued by the company in March 2019. Approximately 93 percent of the shares voted on the
matter were cast in support of the compensation decisions and policies as disclosed. The committee considered this result and
determined that it was not necessary at this time to make any material changes to the company’s compensation policies and
practices in response to the advisory vote.
Benefits
Retirement plans
The executive officers participate in our retirement plans under the same rules that apply to other U.S. employees. We maintain
these plans to have a competitive benefits program and for retention.
Like other established U.S. manufacturers, we have had a U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan for many years. At its origin,
the plan was designed to be consistent with those offered by other employers in the diverse markets in which we operated, which
at the time included consumer and defense electronics, as well as semiconductors and materials products. In order to limit the
cost of the plan, we closed the plan to new participants in 1997. We gave U.S. employees as of November 1997 the choice to
continue participating in the plan, or to have their plan benefits frozen (i.e., no benefit increase attributable to years of service or
change in eligible earnings) and begin participating in an enhanced defined contribution plan. Mr. Templeton chose not to continue
participating in the defined benefit plan. As a result, his benefits under that plan were frozen in 1997, and he participates in the
enhanced defined contribution plan described below. Mr. Delagi continued his participation in the defined benefit pension plan until
his retirement on February 5, 2020. Messrs. Lizardi, Anderskouv and Ilan joined the company after 1997 and are not eligible to
participate in the defined benefit plan.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) imposes certain limits on the retirement benefits that may be provided under a qualified plan. To
maintain the desired level of benefits, we have non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for participants in the qualified pension
plan. Under the non-qualified plans, participants receive benefits that would ordinarily be paid under the qualified pension plan but
for the limitations under the IRC. For additional information about the defined benefit plans, please see “2019 pension benefits.”
Employees accruing benefits in the qualified pension plan, including Mr. Delagi prior to his retirement, also are eligible to
participate in a defined contribution plan that provides employer matching contributions. All other employees are eligible to
participate in the enhanced defined contribution plan, in which Messrs. Templeton, Lizardi, Anderskouv and Ilan participate. This
plan provides for (i) a fixed employer contribution plus an employer matching contribution for employees hired on or before
December 31, 2003 or (ii) an employer matching contribution for employees hired after December 31, 2003.
In general, if an employee who participates in the pension plan (including an employee whose benefits are frozen as described
above) dies after having met the requirements for normal or early retirement, his or her beneficiary will receive a benefit equal to
the lump-sum amount that the participant would have received if he or she had retired before death. Having already reached the
age of 55 and at least 20 years of employment, Mr. Templeton is eligible for early retirement under the pension plans. Mr. Delagi
retired effective February 5, 2020, so the lump sum payment option is no longer available to his beneficiary.
Because benefits under the qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans are calculated on the basis of eligible
earnings (salary and bonus), an increase in salary or bonus may result in an increase in benefits under the plans. Salary or bonus
increases for Mr. Templeton do not result in greater benefits for him under the company’s defined benefit pension plans because
his benefits under those plans were frozen in 1997. Messrs. Lizardi, Anderskouv and Ilan do not participate in the company’s
defined benefit pension plans. The committee considers the potential effect on the executives’ retirement benefits when it sets
salary and performance bonus levels.
Deferred compensation
Any U.S. employee whose base salary and management responsibility exceed a certain level may defer the receipt of a portion of
his or her salary, bonus and profit sharing. Rules of the U.S. Department of Labor require that this plan be limited to a select group
of management or highly compensated employees. The plan allows employees to defer the receipt of their compensation in a
tax-efficient manner. Eligible employees include, but are not limited to, the executive officers. We have the plan to be competitive
with the benefits packages offered by other companies.
The executive officers’ deferred compensation account balances are unsecured and all amounts remain part of the company’s
operating assets. The value of the deferred amounts tracks the performance of investment alternatives selected by the participant.
These alternatives are identical to those offered to participants in the defined contribution plans described above. The company
does not guarantee any minimum return on the amounts deferred. In accordance with SEC rules, no earnings on deferred
compensation are shown in the summary compensation table for 2019 because no “above market” rates were earned on deferred
amounts in that year.
Employee stock purchase plan
We have an employee stock purchase plan. Under the plan, which our shareholders approved, all employees in the U.S. and certain
other countries may purchase a limited number of shares of the company’s common stock at a 15 percent discount. The plan is
designed to offer the broad-based employee population an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the company and thereby
align their interests with those of shareholders. Consistent with our general approach to benefit programs, executive officers are
also eligible to participate.
Health-related benefits
Executive officers are eligible under the same plans as all other U.S. employees for medical, dental, vision, disability and life
insurance. These benefits are intended to be competitive with benefits offered in the semiconductor industry.
Other benefits
Executive officers receive only a few benefits that are not available to all other U.S. employees. They are eligible for a company-
paid physical and financial counseling. In addition, the board of directors has determined that for security reasons, it is in the
company’s interest to allow Mr. Templeton, at his option, to use company aircraft for personal air travel. Please see Footnote 6 of
the summary compensation table for 2019 and “Potential payments upon termination or change in control – Termination –
Perquisites” for further details. The company provides no tax gross-ups for perquisites to any of the executive officers.

Compensation following employment termination or change in control
None of the executive officers has an employment contract. Executive officers are eligible for benefits on the same terms as other
U.S. employees upon termination of employment or a change in control of the company. The current programs are described under
“Potential payments upon termination or change in control.” None of the few additional benefits that the executive officers receive
continue after termination of employment, except that financial counseling is provided for a transition period following retirement.
The committee reviews the potential impact of these programs before finalizing the annual compensation for the named executive
officers. The committee did not raise or lower compensation for 2019 based on this review.
The Texas Instruments 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan generally establishes double-trigger change-in-control terms for grants
made in 2010 and later years. Under those terms, options become fully exercisable and shares are issued under restricted stock
unit awards (to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the IRC) if the grantee is involuntarily terminated within 24 months after a
change in control of TI. These terms are intended to encourage employees to remain with the company through a transaction while
reducing employee uncertainty and distraction in the period leading up to any such event.
Stock ownership guidelines and policy against hedging
Our board of directors has established stock ownership guidelines for executive officers. The guideline for 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 five years from their election as executive officers to reach these targets. Directly
owned shares and restricted stock units count toward satisfying the guidelines.
Short sales of TI stock by our executive officers are prohibited. It is against TI policy for any employee, including an executive
officer, to engage in trading in “puts” (options to sell at a fixed price), “calls” (similar options to buy), or other options or hedging
techniques on TI stock.
Consideration of tax and accounting treatment of compensation
Current tax law limits the tax deductibility of annual compensation paid to any publicly held corporation’s “covered employees,”
which includes all of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee considers the impact of this deductibility limit as
one factor in its determination of compensation.
When setting equity compensation, the committee considers the cost for financial reporting purposes of equity compensation it
intends to grant. Its consideration of the cost of grants made in 2019 is discussed under “Analysis of compensation determination
for 2019 – Equity compensation.”
Compensation Committee report
The Compensation Committee of the board of directors has furnished the following report:
The committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) with the company’s management.
Based on that review and discussion, the committee has recommended to the board of directors that the CD&A be included in the
company’s annual report on Form 10-K for 2019 and the company’s proxy statement for the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders.

Shown is the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock unit (RSU) awards calculated in accordance with ASC 718.
The discussion of the assumptions used for purposes of the valuation of the awards granted in 2019 appears in Note 3 to the
2019 financial statements. For a description of the grant terms, see the discussion following the outstanding equity awards at
fiscal year-end 2019 table. The discussion of the assumptions used for purposes of the valuation of the awards granted in
2018 and 2017 appears in Notes 3 and 4 respectively to the financial statements in TI’s annual report on Form 10-K for the

Shown is the aggregate grant date fair value of options calculated in accordance with ASC 718. The discussion of the

Consists of performance bonuses and profit sharing for 2019. See “Analysis of compensation determinations for 2019 –
Results of the compensation decisions” for the amounts of bonus and profit sharing paid to each of the named executive
officers for 2019.
The company does not pay above-market earnings on deferred compensation. Therefore, no amounts are reported in this
column for deferred compensation. The amounts in this column represent the change in the actuarial value of the named
executive officers’ benefits under the qualified defined benefit pension plan (TI Employees Pension Plan) and the non-qualified
defined benefit pension plans (TI Employees Non-Qualified Pension Plan and TI Employees Non-Qualified Pension Plan II) from
December 31, 2018, through December 31, 2019. This “change in the actuarial value” is the difference between the 2018
and 2019 present value of the pension benefit accumulated as of year-end by the named executive officer, assuming that
benefit is not paid until age 65. Mr. Templeton’s benefits under the company’s pension plans were frozen as of December 31,
1997. Messrs. Lizardi, Anderskouv and Ilan do not participate in any of the company’s defined benefit pension plans.

Option awards
The “Option Awards” shown in the table above are non-qualified stock options, each of which represents the right to purchase
shares of TI common stock at the stated exercise price. The exercise price is the closing price of TI common stock on the grant
date. The term of each option is 10 years unless the option is terminated earlier pursuant to provisions summarized in the chart
below and in the paragraph following the chart. Options become exercisable in increments of 25 percent per year beginning on the
first anniversary of the date of the grant. The chart below shows the termination provisions relating to stock options outstanding as
of December 31, 2019. The Compensation Committee of the board of directors established these termination provisions to promote
employee retention while offering competitive terms.

* Retirement eligibility is defined for purposes of equity awards made after 2012 as at least age 55 with 10 or more years of TI
service or at least age 65. For awards made before 2013, the definition of normal or early retirement eligibility in the relevant
pension plan applies (see “2019 pension benefits”).
** This provision is not applicable to grants made after 2012.
Options may be cancelled if, during the two years after employment termination, the grantee competes with TI or solicits TI
employees to work for another company, or if the grantee discloses TI trade secrets. In addition, for options received while the
grantee was an executive officer, the company may reclaim (or “claw back”) profits earned under grants if the officer engages in
such conduct. These provisions are intended to strengthen retention and provide a reasonable remedy to TI in case of competition,
solicitation of our employees or disclosure of our confidential information.
Options granted after 2009 become fully vested if the grantee is involuntarily terminated from employment with TI (other than for
cause) within 24 months after a change in control of TI. “Change in control” is defined as provided in the Texas Instruments 2009
Long-Term Incentive Plan and occurs upon (i) acquisition of more than 50 percent of the voting stock or at least 80 percent of the
assets of TI or (ii) change of a majority of the board of directors in a 12-month period unless a majority of the directors then in
office endorsed the appointment or election of the new directors (“Plan definition”). These terms are intended to reduce employee
uncertainty and distraction in the period leading up to a change in control, if such an event were to occur. For options granted
before 2010, the stock option terms provide that upon a change in control of TI, the option becomes fully vested to the extent it is
then outstanding; and if employment termination (except for cause) has occurred within 30 days before the change in control, the
change in control is deemed to have occurred first. “Change in control” is defined in these pre-2010 options as (i) acquisition of
20 percent of TI common stock other than through a transaction approved by the board of directors, or (ii) change of a majority of
the board of directors in a 24-month period unless a majority of the directors then in office have elected or nominated the new
directors (together, the “pre-2010 definition”).
Stock awards
The “Stock Awards” column in the table of outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end 2019 are RSU awards. Each RSU
represents the right to receive one share of TI common stock on a stated date (the “vesting date”) unless the award is terminated
earlier under terms summarized below. In general, the vesting date is approximately four years after the grant date. Each RSU
includes the right to receive dividend equivalents, which are paid annually in cash at a rate equal to the amount paid to
stockholders in dividends.

These termination provisions are intended to promote retention. All RSU awards contain cancellation and clawback provisions like
those described above for stock options. The terms provide that, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the IRC, the award
vests upon involuntary termination of TI employment within 24 months after a change in control. Change in control is the Plan
definition. These cancellation, clawback and change-in-control terms are intended to conform RSU terms with those of stock
options (to the extent permitted by the IRC) and to achieve the objectives described above in the discussion of stock options.
In addition to the “Stock Awards” shown in the outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end 2019 table, Mr. Templeton holds an
award of RSUs that was granted in 1995. The award, for 120,000 shares of TI common stock, vested in 2000. Under the award
terms, the shares will be issued to Mr. Templeton in March of the year after his termination of employment for any reason. These
terms were designed to provide a tax benefit to the company by postponing the related compensation expense until it was likely to
be fully deductible. In accordance with SEC requirements, this award is reflected in the 2019 non-qualified deferred compensation
table.
2019 option exercises and stock vested
The following table lists the number of shares acquired and the value realized as a result of option exercises by the named
executive officers in 2019 and the value of any RSUs that vested in 2019. For option exercises, the value realized is calculated by
multiplying the number of shares acquired by the difference between the exercise price and the market price of TI common stock
on the exercise date. For RSUs, the value realized is calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs that vested by the market price
of TI common stock on the vesting date.

joined TI after these plans were closed to new participants.

In 1997, TI’s U.S. employees were given the choice between continuing to participate in the defined benefit pension plans or
participating in a new enhanced defined contribution retirement plan. Mr. Templeton chose to participate in the defined
contribution plan. Accordingly, his accrued pension benefits under the qualified and non-qualified plans were frozen (i.e., he
will experience no increase attributable to years of service or change in eligible earnings) as of December 31, 1997.
Contributions to the defined contribution plan for Mr. Templeton’s benefits are included in the 2019 summary compensation
table.
Credited service began on the date the officer became eligible to participate in the plan. Eligibility to participate began on the
earlier of 18 months of employment, or January 1 following the completion of one year of employment. Accordingly,
Mr. Templeton and Mr. Delagi have been employed by TI for longer than the years of credited service shown above.
Credited service began on the date the named executive officer became eligible to participate in the TI Employees Pension
Plan as described in Note 3 and ceased at December 31, 2004.
Credited service began on the date the named executive officer became eligible to participate in the TI Employees Pension
Plan as described in Note 3.
The assumptions and valuation methods used to calculate the present value of the accumulated pension benefits shown are
the same as those used by TI for financial reporting purposes and are described in Note 8 to the 2019 financial statements,
except that a named executive officer’s retirement is assumed (in accordance with SEC rules) for purposes of this table to
occur at age 65 and no assumption for termination prior to that date is used. The amount of the lump-sum benefit earned as
of December 31, 2019, is determined using either (i) the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) interest assumption of
0.50 percent or (ii) the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) corporate bond yield interest assumption of 3.61 percent for the
TI Employees Pension Plan and 3.87 percent for the TI Employees Non-Qualified Pension Plans, whichever rate produces the
higher lump-sum amount. A discount rate assumption of 3.61 percent for the TI Employees Pension Plan and 3.87 percent for
the non-qualified pension plans was used to determine the present value of each lump sum.
TI Employees Pension Plan
The TI Employees Pension Plan is a qualified defined benefit pension plan. See “Benefits – Retirement plans” for a discussion of
the origin and purpose of the plan. Employees who joined the U.S. payroll after November 30, 1997, are not eligible to participate
in this plan.
Plan participants are eligible for normal retirement under the terms of the plan at 65 years of age with one year of credited service.
Participants are eligible for early retirement at 55 years of age with 20 years of employment or 60 years of age with five years of
employment. As of December 31, 2019, Mr. Templeton and Mr. Delagi were eligible for early or normal retirement.
Participants may request payment of accrued benefits at termination or any time thereafter. Participants may choose a lump-sum
payment or one of six forms of annuity. In order of largest to smallest periodic payment, the forms of annuity are: (i) single life
annuity, (ii) 5-year certain and life annuity, (iii) 10-year certain and life annuity, (iv) joint and 50 percent survivor annuity, (v) joint
and 75 percent survivor annuity, and (vi) joint and 100 percent survivor annuity. Participants who do not request payment will
begin to receive benefits in April of the year after reaching the age of 701/2 in the form of annuity required under the IRC.
The pension formula for the qualified plan is intended to provide a participant with an annual retirement benefit equal to
1.5 percent multiplied by the product of (i) years of credited service and (ii) the average of the five highest consecutive years of the
participant’s base salary plus bonus up to a limit imposed by the IRS, less a percentage (based on the participant’s year of birth,
when the participant elects to retire and the participant’s years of service with TI) of the amount of compensation on which the
participant’s Social Security benefit is based.
If an individual takes early retirement and chooses to begin receiving an annual retirement benefit at that time, such benefit is
reduced by an early retirement factor. As a result, the annual benefit is lower than the one the participant would have received at
age 65.
Participants whose employment terminates due to disability may choose to receive their accrued benefits at any time prior to age
65. Alternatively, the participant may choose to defer receipt of the accrued benefit until reaching age 65 and then take a disability
benefit. The disability benefit paid at age 65 is based on salary and bonus, years of credited service the participant would have
accrued to age 65 had the participant not become disabled, and disabled status.

The benefit payable in the event of death is based on salary and bonus, years of credited service and age at the time of death, and
may be in the form of a lump sum or annuity at the election of the beneficiary. The earliest date of payment is the first day of the
second calendar month following the month of death.
Leaves of absence, including a bridge to retirement, are credited to years of service under the qualified pension plan. See the
discussion of leaves of absence under “Potential payments upon termination or change in control – Termination – Perquisites.”
TI employees non-qualified pension plans
TI has two non-qualified pension plans: the TI Employees Non-Qualified Pension Plan (Plan I), which governs amounts earned
before 2005; and the TI Employees Non-Qualified Pension Plan II (Plan II), which governs amounts earned after 2004. Each is a
non-qualified defined benefit pension plan. See “Benefits – Retirement plans” for a discussion of the purpose of the plans. As with
the qualified defined benefit pension plan, employees who joined the U.S. payroll after November 30, 1997, are not eligible to
participate in Plan I or Plan II. Eligibility for normal and early retirement under these plans is the same as under the qualified plan
(see above). Benefits are paid in a lump sum.
A participant’s benefits under Plan I and Plan II are calculated using the same formula as described above for the TI Employees
Pension Plan. However, the IRS limit on the amount of compensation on which a qualified pension benefit may be calculated does
not apply. Additionally, the IRS limit on the amount of qualified benefit the participant may receive does not apply to these plans.
Once this non-qualified benefit amount has been determined using the formula described above, the individual’s qualified benefit
is subtracted from it. The resulting difference is multiplied by an age-based factor to obtain the amount of the lump-sum benefit
payable to an individual under the non-qualified plans.
Amounts under Plan I will be distributed when payment of the participant’s benefit under the qualified pension plan commences.
Amounts under Plan II will be distributed subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC. Because the named executive
officers are among the 50 most highly compensated officers of the company, Section 409A of the IRC requires that they not receive
any lump-sum distribution payment under Plan II before the first day of the seventh month following termination of employment.
If a participant terminates due to disability, amounts under Plan I will be distributed when payment of the participant’s benefit
under the qualified plan commences. For amounts under Plan II, distribution is governed by Section 409A of the IRC, and the
disability benefit is reduced to reflect the payment of the benefit prior to age 65.
In the event of death, payment under both plans is based on salary and bonus, years of credited service and age at the time of
death and will be in the form of a lump sum. The earliest date of payment is the first day of the second calendar month following
the month of death.
Balances in the plans are unsecured obligations of the company. For amounts under Plan I, in the event of a change in control, the
present value of the individual’s benefit would be paid not later than the month following the month in which the change in control
occurred. For such amounts, the pre-2010 definition of a change in control (see the discussion following the Outstanding equity
awards at fiscal year-end 2019 table) applies. For all amounts accrued under this plan, if a sale of substantially all of the assets of
the company occurred, the present value of the individual’s benefit would be distributed in a lump sum as soon as reasonably
practicable following the sale of assets. For amounts under Plan II, no distribution of benefits is triggered by a change in control.
Leaves of absence, including a bridge to retirement, are credited to years of service under the non-qualified pension plans. For a
discussion of leaves of absence, see “Potential payments upon termination or change in control – Termination – Perquisites.”
TI Employees Survivor Benefit Plan
TI’s qualified and non-qualified pension plans provide that upon the death of a retirement-eligible employee, the employee’s
beneficiary receives a payment equal to half of the benefit to which the employee would have been entitled under the pension
plans had the employee retired instead of died. We have a survivor benefit plan that pays the beneficiary a lump sum that, when
added to the reduced amounts the beneficiary receives under the pension plans, equals the benefit the employee would have been
entitled to receive had the employee retired instead of died. Because Messrs. Templeton and Delagi were eligible for early
retirement as of December 31, 2019, their beneficiaries would be eligible for benefits under the survivor benefit plan if they were
to die.

Amounts shown for Mr. Templeton and Ilan include a portion of their salary and bonus paid in 2019; for Messrs. Lizardi and
Anderskouv include a portion of their salary paid in 2019.
Company matching contributions pursuant to the defined contribution plan. These amounts are included in the “All Other
Compensation” column of the 2019 summary compensation table.
Consists of: (a) $385,200 in dividend equivalents paid under the 120,000-share 1995 RSU award previously discussed,
settlement of which has been deferred until after termination of employment; (b) a $4,054,800 increase in the value of the
RSU award (calculated by subtracting the value of the award at year-end 2018 from the value of the award at year-end 2019
(in both cases, the number of RSUs is multiplied by the closing price of TI common stock on the last trading date of the year));
and (c) a $231,523 gain in Mr. Templeton’s deferred compensation account in 2019. Dividend equivalents are paid at the
same rate as dividends on TI common stock.
Consists of dividend equivalents paid on the RSU award discussed in Note 3 and a $771,370 deferred compensation plan
account distribution.
All amounts contributed by a named executive officer and by the company in prior years have been reported in the summary
compensation table in previously filed proxy statements in the year earned to the extent he was a named executive officer for
purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure.
(6) Of this amount, $15,394,800 is attributable to Mr. Templeton’s 1995 RSU award, calculated as described in Note 3. The
remainder is the balance of his deferred compensation account.
See “Benefits – Retirement plans” for a discussion of the purpose of the plan. An employee’s deferred compensation account
contains eligible compensation the employee has elected to defer and contributions by the company that are in excess of the IRS
limits on (i) contributions the company may make to the enhanced defined contribution plan and (ii) matching contributions the
company may make related to compensation the executive officer deferred into his deferred compensation account.
Participants in the deferred compensation plan may choose to defer up to (i) 25 percent of their base salary, (ii) 90 percent of their
performance bonus, and (iii) 90 percent of profit sharing. Elections to defer compensation must be made in the calendar year prior
to the year in which the compensation will be earned.
During 2019, participants could choose to have their deferred compensation mirror the performance of one or more of the
following mutual funds, each of which is managed by a third party (these alternatives, which may be changed at any time, are the
same as those offered to participants in the defined contribution plans): BlackRock MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. IMI Index Lendable Fund F,
Northern Trust Short Term Investment Fund, Northern Trust Aggregate Bond Index Fund-Lending, Northern Trust Russell 1000
Value Index Fund-Lending, Northern Trust Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund-Lending, Northern Trust Russell 2000 Index Fund-

From among the available investment alternatives, participants may change their instructions relating to their deferred
compensation daily. Earnings on a participant’s balance are determined solely by the performance of the investments that the
participant has chosen. The company does not guarantee any minimum return on investments. A third party administers the
company’s deferred compensation program.

A participant may request distribution from the plan in the case of an unforeseeable emergency. To obtain an unforeseeable
emergency withdrawal, a participant must meet the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC. Otherwise, balances are paid to
participants pursuant to their distribution elections and are subject to applicable IRC limitations.
Amounts contributed by the company, and amounts earned and deferred by the participant for which there is a valid distribution
election on file, will be distributed in accordance with the participant’s election. Annually participants may elect separate
distribution dates for deferred compensation attributable to a participant’s (i) bonus and profit sharing and (ii) salary. Participants
may elect that these distributions be in the form of a lump sum or annual installments to be paid out over a period of five or ten
consecutive years. Amounts for which no valid distribution election is on file will be distributed three years from the date of
deferral.
In the event of the participant’s death, payment will be in the form of a lump sum and the earliest date of payment is the first day
of the second calendar month following the month of death. For any other circumstance resulting in termination of employment,
payments are distributed in accordance with the participant’s valid distribution election.
Like the balances under the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, deferred compensation balances are unsecured
obligations of the company. For amounts earned and deferred prior to 2010, a change in control does not trigger a distribution
under the plan. For amounts earned and deferred after 2009, distribution occurs, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the
IRC, if the participant is involuntarily terminated within 24 months after a change in control. Change in control is the Plan definition.
Potential payments upon termination or change in control
None of the named executive officers has an employment contract with the company. They are eligible for benefits on generally the
same terms as other U.S. employees upon termination of employment or change in control of the company. TI does not reimburse
executive officers for any income or excise taxes that are payable by the executive as a result of payments relating to termination
or change in control. For a discussion of the impact of these programs on the compensation decisions for 2019, see “Analysis of
compensation determinations for 2019 – Total compensation” and “Compensation following employment termination or change in
control.”
Termination
The following programs may result in payments to a named executive officer whose employment terminates. Most of these
programs have been discussed above.
Bonus
Our policies concerning bonus and the timing of payments are described under “Compensation philosophy and elements.” Whether
a bonus would be awarded under other circumstances and in what amount would depend on the facts and circumstances of
termination and is subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion. If awarded, bonuses are paid by the company.
Qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans
The purposes of these plans are described under “Benefits – Retirement plans.” The formula for determining benefits, the forms of
benefit and the timing of payments are described under “2019 pension benefits.” The amounts disbursed under the qualified and
non-qualified plans are paid, respectively, by the TI Employees Pension Trust and the company.
Survivor benefit plan
The purpose of this plan, along with the formula for determining the amount of benefit, the form of benefit and the timing of
payments, are described under “2019 pension benefits – TI Employees Survivor Benefit Plan.” Amounts distributed are paid by
the TI Employees Health Benefit Trust.

Deferred compensation plan
The purpose of this plan is described under “Benefits – Deferred Compensation.” The amounts payable under this program depend
solely on the performance of investments that the participant has chosen. The timing of payments is discussed under “2019
non-qualified deferred compensation” and except in the case of death, payments are made according to the participant’s
distribution election. Amounts distributed are paid by the company.
Equity compensation
Depending on the circumstances of termination, grantees whose employment terminates may retain the right to exercise
previously granted stock options and receive shares under outstanding RSU awards as described in the discussion following the
outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end 2019 table. RSU awards include a right to receive dividend equivalents. The dividend
equivalents are paid annually by the company in a single cash payment after the last dividend payment of the year.
Perquisites
Financial counseling is provided to executive officers for a transition period following retirement. Otherwise, no perquisites
continue after termination of employment.
In the case of a resignation pursuant to a separation agreement, employees above a certain job grade level, including executive
officers, might be offered a 12-month paid leave of absence before termination, in exchange for a non-compete and
non-solicitation commitment and a release of claims against the company. The leave period will be credited to years of service
under the pension plans described above. During the leave, the executive officer’s stock options will continue to become
exercisable and his or her RSUs will continue to vest. Amounts paid to an individual during a paid leave of absence are not counted
when calculating benefits under the qualified and non-qualified pension plans.
In the case of a separation agreement in which the executive officer will be at least 50 years old and have at least 10 years
of employment with the company on his or her last day of active employment before beginning the paid leave of absence, the
separation agreement will typically include an unpaid leave of absence, to commence at the end of the paid leave and end when
the executive officer has reached age 55 (bridge to retirement). During the bridge to retirement, the executive officer will continue
to accrue years of service under the qualified and non-qualified pension plans described above. Stock options will continue to
become exercisable and RSUs will remain in effect.
Change in control
Our only program, plan or arrangement providing benefits triggered by a change in control is the TI Employees Non-Qualified
Pension Plan. A change in control at December 31, 2019, would have accelerated payment of the balance under that plan. See
“2019 pension benefits – TI employees non-qualified pension plans” for a discussion of the purpose of change in control
provisions of that plan as well as the circumstances and the timing of payment.
Upon a change in control there is no acceleration of vesting of stock options and RSUs granted after 2009. Only upon an
involuntary termination (not for cause) within 24 months after a change in control of TI will the vesting of such stock options and
RSUs accelerate. See the discussion following the outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end 2019 table for further information
concerning change in control provisions relating to stock options and RSUs.

(1) Messrs. Templeton and Delagi were retirement eligible for purposes of TI’s defined benefit pension plans and under the terms of
their equity compensation awards as of December 31, 2019. Mr. Delagi retired from the company effective February 5, 2020.

The amount shown is the lump-sum benefit payable at age 65 to the named executive officer in the event of termination as
of December 31, 2019, due to disability, assuming the named executive officer does not request payment of his disability
benefit until age 65. The assumptions used in calculating these amounts are the same as the age-65 lump-sum assumptions
used for financial reporting purposes for the company’s audited financial statements for 2019 and are described in Note 6 to
the 2019 pension benefits table.
Value of the benefit payable in a lump sum to the executive officer’s beneficiary calculated as required by the terms of the
plan assuming the earliest possible payment date. The plan provides that in the event of death, the beneficiary receives
50 percent of the participant’s accrued benefit, reduced by the age-applicable joint and 50 percent survivor factor.
Lump-sum value of the accrued benefit as of December 31, 2019, calculated as required by the terms of the plans assuming
the earliest possible payment date.
The amount shown is the lump-sum benefit payable at age 65, in the case of the Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan,
or separation from service in the case of Plan II. The assumptions used are the same as those described in Note 2.
Calculated as required by the terms of the plan assuming the earliest possible payment date.
In the event of death, a participant’s deferred compensation balance becomes payable immediately. The amount shown in
the column titled “Death” is the balance as of December 31, 2019, under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. For
all separation events other than death, balances are distributed in accordance with the participant’s distribution election as
discussed in the narrative following the 2019 non-qualified deferred compensation table.
Calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding RSUs by the closing price of TI common stock as of December 31, 2019
($128.29). In the event of termination due to disability or death, all outstanding awards will continue to vest according to their
terms. See the first table under “Outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end 2019” for the number of unvested RSUs as of
December 31, 2019, and the related discussion following that table of an additional outstanding RSU award held by
Mr. Templeton.
(9)
Calculated by multiplying the previously discussed 120,000 vested RSUs by the closing price of TI common stock as of
December 31, 2019 ($128.29).
(10) Due to retirement eligibility, calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding RSUs held at such termination by the closing
price of TI common stock as of December 31, 2019 ($128.29). RSU awards stay in effect and pay out shares according to the
vesting schedule.
(11) Calculated as the difference between the grant price of all outstanding in-the-money options and the closing price of TI
common stock as of December 31, 2019 ($128.29), multiplied by the number of shares under such options as of
December 31, 2019.
(12) Calculated as the difference between the grant price of all exercisable in-the-money options and the closing price of TI
common stock as of December 31, 2019 ($128.29), multiplied by the number of shares under such options as of
December 31, 2019.
Pay ratio
For 2019, the median of annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our CEO), was $82,034. The
annual total compensation of our CEO was $18,655,972. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of
our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was approximately 227 to 1.
There has been no change in the company’s employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would result in a
significant change in the pay ratio disclosure. Further, there has been no change in the circumstances of the employee identified
as the median employee in 2017. Accordingly, the pay ratio calculation has been made using the 2019 compensation for the
median employee identified in 2017.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total
compensation of the “median employee,” we used the following methodology and material assumptions, adjustments and
estimates to identify the median employee in 2017:
• We selected October 5, 2017, as the date upon which we would identify the “median employee.”
• As of this date, our employee population consisted of approximately 29,973 individuals working at the company and
consolidated subsidiaries, excluding employees on leaves of absence who are not expected to return to work.

• To identify the “median employee,” we used base salary and profit sharing information, each of which is paid to all
employees. Salaries were annualized for all permanent employees who were employees for less than the full fiscal year or
who were on an unpaid leave of absence during a portion of the year.
• We identified and calculated the elements of the median employee’s compensation for 2017 in accordance with the
requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, including the value of the employee’s health and welfare benefits
(estimated for the employee and the employee’s eligible dependents) and retirement-related benefits.
• We applied the exchange rate that we utilize in our payroll system, as of the identification date, to convert foreign currency
to U.S. dollars.
The annual total compensation of our CEO is the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2019 summary compensation table,
adding in the value of health and welfare benefits (estimated for our CEO and his eligible dependents) and retirement-related
benefits. This resulted in annual total compensation for purposes of determining the ratio in the amount of $18,655,972.
Audit Committee report
The Audit Committee of the board of directors has furnished the following report:
As noted in the committee’s charter, TI management is responsible for preparing the company’s financial statements. The
company’s 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 committee’s role does not provide
any special assurances with regard to TI’s financial statements, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of the
audits performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.
The committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent accounting firm, as appropriate, (1) the
audited financial statements and (2) management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the independent
accounting firm’s related opinions.
The committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, the required communications
specified by auditing standards together with guidelines established by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required
by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, regarding the independent registered public
accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young the
firm’s 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 company’s annual report on Form 10-K for 2019 for filing with the SEC.

Proposal to ratify appointment of independent registered public accounting firm
The Audit Committee of the board has the authority and responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight
of the work of TI’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to be TI’s
independent registered public accounting firm for 2020.
TI has engaged Ernst & Young or a predecessor firm to serve as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for
over 60 years. In order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether the annual
audit of TI’s financial statements should be conducted by another firm.
The lead audit partner on the TI engagement serves no more than five consecutive years in that role, in accordance with SEC rules.
The Audit Committee Chair and management have direct input into the selection of the lead audit partner.
The members of the Audit Committee and the board believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young to serve as the
company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the company and its investors. Consequently,
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.

The services provided were as follows:
Audit: our annual audit, including the audit of internal control over financial reporting, reports on Form 10-Q, assistance with public
debt offerings, statutory audits required internationally and accounting consultations.
Audit-related: including employee benefit plan audits and certification procedures relating to compliance with local-government or
other regulatory standards for various non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Tax: professional services for tax compliance (preparation and review of income tax returns and other tax-related filings) and tax
advice on U.S. and foreign tax matters.
All Other: TI Foundation audit and training.
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 to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s
independence.
Annually the independent registered public accounting firm and the director of internal audits present to the Audit Committee
services expected to be performed by the firm over the next 12 months. The Audit Committee reviews and, as it deems
appropriate, pre-approves those services. The services and estimated fees are 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). For each service listed in those categories, the committee receives 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 reviews 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 revise the list of pre-approved services and related fees from
time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
In order to respond to time-sensitive requests for services that may arise between regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit
Committee, the 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 reports pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee and
seeks ratification of such decisions at the Audit Committee’s next scheduled meeting.
The Audit Committee or its Chair pre-approved all services provided by Ernst & Young during 2019.
The board of directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for 2020.

Related person transactions
Because we believe that company transactions with directors and executive officers of TI or with persons related to TI directors
and executive officers present a heightened risk of creating or appearing to create a conflict of interest, we have a written related
person transaction policy that has been approved by the board of directors. The policy states that TI directors and executive
officers should obtain the approvals or ratifications specified below in connection with any related person transaction. The policy
applies to transactions in which:
1.
2.
TI or any TI subsidiary is or will be a participant;
The amount involved exceeds or is expected to exceed $120,000 in a fiscal year; and

Any of the following (a “related person”) has or will have a direct or indirect interest:
(a)
(b)
A TI director or executive officer, or an Immediate Family Member of a director or executive officer;
A stockholder owning more than 5 percent of the common stock of TI or an Immediate Family Member of such
stockholder, or, if the 5 percent stockholder is not a natural person, any person or entity designated in the Form 13G or
13D filed under the SEC rules and regulations by the 5 percent stockholder as having an ownership interest in TI stock
(individually or collectively, a “5 percent holder”); or
(c)
An entity in which someone listed in (a) above has a 5 percent or greater ownership interest, by which someone listed in
(a) is employed, or of which someone listed in (a) is a director, principal or partner.
For purposes of the policy, an “Immediate Family Member” is any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling,
mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law or any person (other than a tenant or
employee) sharing the household of a TI director, executive officer or 5 percent holder.
The policy specifies that a related person transaction includes, but is not limited to, any financial transaction, arrangement or
relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) or any series of similar transactions or arrangements.
The required approvals are as follows:
Arrangement Involving:
Executive officer who is also a member of the TI board, an
Immediate Family Member of such person, or an entity in
which any of the foregoing has a 5 percent or greater
ownership interest
Chair of the GSR Committee, chief compliance officer, any of his
or her Immediate Family Members, or an entity in which any of
the foregoing has a 5 percent or greater ownership interest
Any other director or executive officer, an Immediate Family
Member of such person, or an entity in which any of the
foregoing has a 5 percent or greater ownership interest

No member of the GSR Committee will participate in the consideration of a related person arrangement in which such member or
any of his or her Immediate Family Members is the related person.
The approving body or persons will consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available to them, including (if applicable)
but not limited to: the benefits to the company of the arrangement; the impact on a director’s independence; the availability of
other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the arrangement; and the terms available to unrelated third parties
or to employees generally. The primary consideration is whether the transaction between TI and the related person (a) was the
result of undue influence from the related person or (b) could adversely influence or appear to adversely influence the judgment,
decisions or actions of the director or executive officer in meeting TI responsibilities or create obligations to other organizations
that may come in conflict with responsibilities to TI.
No related person arrangement will be approved unless it is determined to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the
company and its stockholders, as the approving body or persons shall determine in good faith.
The chief compliance officer will provide periodic reports to the committee on related person transactions. Any related person
transaction brought to the attention of the chief compliance officer or of which the chief compliance officer becomes aware that is
not approved pursuant to the process set forth above shall be terminated as soon as practicable.
The board has determined that the following types of transactions pose little risk of a conflict of interest and therefore has deemed
them approved:
• Compensation paid to a TI director or executive officer for services as such, or where the sole interest in a related person
transaction of a TI director, executive officer or 5 percent holder is their position as such;
48
T E X A S I N S T R U M E N T S • 2 0 2 0 P R O X Y S T A T E M E N T
• Transactions where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids, involve the rendering of services as a
common or contract carrier, or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority;
• Transactions involving services as a bank depository of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture or
similar services;
• Interests of a related person arising only from:
O the direct or indirect ownership in another party to the transaction and that ownership, when combined with the
ownership of all the other individuals specified in 3(a)-(c) above, is less than 5 percent of the outstanding equity of such
party;
O an interest as a limited partner in a partnership, and that ownership interest, when combined with all the other
ownership interests of the other individuals specified in 3(a)-(c) above, is less than 5 percent of the total ownership
interest of the limited partnership;
O their position as a director of another corporation or organization;
O the ownership of TI stock and all holders of that class of stock receive the same benefit on a pro-rata basis;
• Transactions in the ordinary course of business where the only relationship of a TI director or executive officer, or their
Immediate Family Member, is as an employee (other than an executive officer) and/or less than a 10 percent beneficial
owner of the other entity if (i) the TI director or executive officer is not involved in negotiating the terms of the transaction
and (ii) amounts involved for the fiscal year do not exceed the greater of $200,000 or 2 percent of the entity’s consolidated
gross revenues for that year;
• Charitable contributions, grants or endowments by TI or the TI Foundation to an entity where the only relationship of the TI
director or executive officer, or their Immediate Family Member, is as a trustee or employee (other than as an executive
officer) if the aggregate payments for the fiscal year do not exceed the greater of $200,000 or 2 percent of the recipient’s
consolidated gross revenues for that year. “Payments” exclude payments arising solely from investments in TI stock,
payments under the TI Director Award Program and payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching
programs; and
• Transactions involving the employment of an Immediate Family Member of a TI director or executive officer if such director
or executive officer does not participate in the decisions regarding the hiring, performance evaluation or compensation of
the Immediate Family Member and such hiring, performance evaluation or compensation is determined on a basis
consistent with TI’s human resources policies.
During 2019, two sons of R. Gregory Delagi (Senior Vice President) were employed in our facilities and manufacturing
organizations. Mr. Delagi was not involved in any decisions regarding his sons’ employment at TI, and their compensation was
consistent with that of similarly situated employees and was determined on a basis consistent with the company’s human
resources policies.
Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation
During 2019, Messrs. Carp and Craighead and Mses. Cox and Patsley served on the Compensation Committee. No committee
member (i) was an officer or employee of TI, (ii) was formerly an officer of TI or (iii) had any relationship requiring disclosure under
the SEC’s rules governing disclosure of related person transactions (Item 404 of Regulation S-K). No executive officer of TI served
as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose directors or executive officers served as a
member of our board of directors or a member of the Compensation Committee.
Cost of solicitation
The solicitation is made on behalf of our board of directors. TI 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, directors, officers and employees of TI may solicit proxies personally, by telephone, fax
or email, from some stockholders if proxies are not promptly received. We have also hired Georgeson Inc. to assist in the
solicitation of proxies at a cost of $12,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 20, 2020, in the manner described in the notice of annual 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 20, 2020, will be voted in the same proportions as the shares in the plans for which voting instructions have been
received by that date unless otherwise required by law.
Telephone and internet voting
Registered stockholders and benefit plan participants. Stockholders with shares registered directly with Computershare (TI’s
transfer agent) and participants who beneficially own shares in a TI 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.
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.
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 materials, we take advantage of the SEC’s “householding” rules that permit us
to deliver only one set of proxy materials (or one Notice of Internet Availability 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 these
materials, you may request a separate copy at no cost to you by calling Investor Relations at (214) 479-3773 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 materials, or request that we send only one set of materials to you if you are receiving
multiple copies, by calling (866) 540-7095 or writing to Investor Relations at the address given above.

Electronic delivery of proxy materials and copies of our Form 10-K
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, 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 and would like to request electronic delivery, visit
www-us.computershare.com/investor or call TI Investor Relations at (214) 479-3773 for more information. If you are a participant
in a TI benefit plan and would like to request electronic delivery, call TI Investor Relations for more information.

Appendix A
Non-GAAP reconciliations
This proxy statement refers to ratios based on free cash flow. These are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated by subtracting
capital expenditures from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating activities (also referred to as
cash flow from operations). We believe free cash flow and these ratios based on it provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-
generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our financial
performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures and are reconciled in the table
below to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
