Eindhoven, the Netherlands, December 11, 2012. NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (together with its subsidiaries, NXP) today announced that NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC, as borrowers, entered into a new $500 million senior secured term loan facility on December 10, 2012, with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as arrangers (the New Term Loan), and also announced the expiration and successful completion of the previously announced tender offer (the Tender Offer) by NXP B.V. for up to $500 million in cash of its outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated 9 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the Notes), jointly and severally issued by NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC. By entering into the New Term Loan and completing the Tender Offer, NXP will be able to lower its interest cost and to extend the maturity profile of its debt.

The proceeds under the New Term Loan are to be drawn as additional loans under NXPs existing senior secured term loan facility dated as of March 4, 2011, as amended from time to time, and shall become due and payable on January 11, 2020.
Tender Offer Results. The table below sets forth the results of the Tender Offer for the Notes, according to information provided by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the Tender Agent), as of the expiration time of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 10, 2012. As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered exceeded the $500 million maximum tender amount, the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase will be prorated pursuant to the terms of the offer to purchase dated October 24, 2012 (the Offer to Purchase) and the related letter of transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal).
