PROXY STATEMENT – MARCH 14, 2023

MAILING ADDRESS: P.O. BOX 660199, DALLAS, TX

Voting procedures, quorum and attendance requirements
TI’s board of directors requests your proxy for the annual meeting
of stockholders on April 27, 2023. 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 14, 2023. 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.

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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 6
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 2023 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
multibillion 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, which
includes key sustainability matters. 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. Farmer
who will join the board April 1, 2023), 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 are currently directors of the
company, including Mr. Farmer, who was elected to the board
effective April 1, 2023. He is the only director nominee at the
2023 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. Farmer as a potential
director candidate. The search firm conducted research to identify
a number of potential candidates, based on 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.
Farmer was unanimously elected to the company’s board of
directors.
The board believes its current size is within the desired range as
stated in the board’s corporate governance guidelines.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 11
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 The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (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 must 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% 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% 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 “Living our Values: TI’s ambitions, values
and code of conduct,” our code of ethics for our chief executive
officer (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 the
annual meeting of stockholders. Attendance allows for interaction
between stockholders and board members. In 2022, 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,
with the exception of Messrs. Templeton and Ilan. 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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 12
A.In
no event will a director be considered independent if:
1.He
or she is a current partner of or is employed by the company’s
independent auditors;
2.A
family member of the director is (i) a current partner of the
company’s independent auditors or (ii) 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 (i) made payments to, or received payments from,
the company for property or services, (ii) extended loans to
or received loans from, the company, or (iii) 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% 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 (i) made payments to, or received payments from,
the company for property or services, (ii) extended loans to
or received loans from the company, or (iii) 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% 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).
B.In
no event will a director be considered independent if, within the
preceding three years:
1.He
or she was employed by the company (except in the capacity of
interim chairman of the board, chief executive officer or other
executive officer, provided the interim employment did not last
longer than one year);
2.He
or she received more than $120,000 during any twelve-month period
in compensation from the company (other than (i) compensation
for board or board committee service, (ii) compensation
received for former service lasting no longer than one year as an
interim chairman of the board, chief executive officer or other
executive officer and (iii) benefits under a tax-qualified
retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation);
3.A
family member of the director was employed as an executive officer
by the company;
4.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);
5.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;
6.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;
7.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
8.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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 13
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:
1.The
source of compensation of the director, including any consulting,
advisory or compensatory fee paid by the 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.
Board organization
Board and committee meetings
During 2022, the board held eight meetings. The board has three
standing committees described below. The standing committees
of the board collectively held 19 meetings in 2022. Each

The board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee
are financially sophisticated, as the board has interpreted such
qualifications in its business judgment. In addition, the board has
designated Ms. Clark as the Audit Committee financial expert as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
The Audit Committee met eight times in 2022. The Audit Committee
holds regularly scheduled meetings and reports its activities to
the board. The committee also continued its long-standing practice
of meeting directly with our internal audit staff to discuss the
audit plan and to allow for direct interaction between Audit
Committee members and our internal auditors.
Compensation Committee
All members of the Compensation Committee are independent. Since
April 22, 2021, the committee members have been Ms. Patsley
(chair), Mr. Blinn, Ms. Cox and Mr. Craighead. The
Compensation Committee is generally responsible for:
•Reviewing
the performance of the CEO and determining his
compensation.
•Setting
the compensation of the company’s other executive
officers.
•Overseeing
administration of employee benefit plans.
•Making
recommendations to the board regarding:
◦Institution
and termination of, revisions in and actions under employee benefit
plans that (i) increase benefits only for officers of the
company or disproportionately increase benefits for officers of the
company more than other employees of the company, (ii) require
or permit the issuance of the company’s stock or (iii) require
board approval.
◦Reservation
of company stock for use as awards of grants under plans or as
contributions or sales to any trustee of any employee benefit
plan.
•Taking
action as appropriate regarding the institution and termination of,
revisions in and actions under employee benefit plans that are not
required to be approved by the board.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 15
•Appointing,
setting the compensation of, overseeing and considering the
independence of any compensation consultant or other
advisor.
The Compensation Committee met five times in 2022. The Compensation
Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings, reports its
activities to the board, and consults with the board before setting
annual executive compensation.
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 as its compensation consultant for the 2022 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 2022, 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
his 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. Upon Mr. Ilan’s re-election to the board, Mr.
Ilan will replace Mr. Templeton as the sole member of the special
committee effective April 27, 2023. 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. Since April 23,
2020, the committee members have been Mr. Kirk (chair),
Mr. Bluedorn and Mr. Sanchez. The GSR Committee is generally
responsible for:
•Making
recommendations to the board regarding:
◦The
development and revision of our corporate governance
principles.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 16
◦The
size, composition and functioning of the board and board
committees.
◦Candidates

◦Nominees

◦Compensation

◦Organization

◦Succession

◦Issues

under TI’s conflict of interest policy.
◦Election

◦Topics

stockholders.
◦Public
issues likely to affect the company.
◦Responses
to proposals submitted by stockholders.
•Reviewing:
◦Contribution
policies of the company and the TI Foundation.
◦Scope
of activities of the company’s political action
committee.
◦Revisions
to TI’s code of conduct.
•Electing
officers of the company other than the executive
officers.
•Overseeing
an annual evaluation of the board and the committee.
The GSR Committee met six times in 2022. The GSR Committee holds
regularly scheduled meetings and reports its activities
to 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 (i) including on each board agenda an opportunity for
the independent directors to comment on and influence the proposed
strategic agenda for future meetings and (ii) 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;
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 17
•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 company 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 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 to the board or Audit
Committee. 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 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, including cybersecurity and
environmental-related risks. The company’s chief financial officer
(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.
Board oversight of environmental, social and governance (ESG)
matters
Management implements ESG-related policies and practices under the
board’s oversight, including by (i) establishing broad policies for
guidance of the organization, such as those contained in the
document “Living our
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 18
Values: TI’s ambitions, values and code of conduct,” which was
approved by the board; (ii) implementing those policies by
delegation of authority and assigning responsibility to board
committees, the chief executive officer, and other officers or
employees as appropriate; and (iii) monitoring and evaluating
performance to assure that the stated policies are being
followed.
Where ESG-related issues may have significance for TI, these
matters are reviewed in the relevant committee. We believe this
approach ensures that ESG issues are overseen by the committee with
the appropriate focus. For example, climate-related issues are
reviewed with the Audit Committee by the vice president of
worldwide environmental, safety and health. The GSR Committee also
oversees ESG matters in connection with its responsibility to
review public issues of interest to company stakeholders.
Management also provides updates to the GSR Committee at least
annually on shareholder policies and proposals regarding ESG
matters that are relevant to the company.
Proposal to approve amendment and restatement of the TI Employees
2014 Stock Purchase Plan to extend the termination
date
The board asks stockholders to approve the amendment and
restatement, in its entirety, of the TI Employees 2014 Stock
Purchase Plan (the “ESPP” and, as amended and restated, the
“Restated ESPP”) to enable TI employees to continue to purchase
shares of the company’s common stock at a discount under the
Restated ESPP. The ESPP will expire on April 17, 2024, the 10-year
anniversary of the effective date of the ESPP. If approved by
stockholders, the Restated ESPP will extend the term until April
27, 2033. The Restated ESPP, like the ESPP, is intended to be
qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“IRC”).
The board adopted the Restated ESPP on December 1, 2022, subject to
stockholder approval. The board believes the Restated ESPP is in
the best interest of stockholders as it enhances broad-based
employee stock ownership (thus further aligning the interest of
employees with TI stockholders) and helps the company attract,
motivate and retain employees. If approved by stockholders, the
Restated ESPP will be effective April 27, 2023, the date of the
annual meeting of stockholders.
As of March 1, 2023, 32 million of the 40 million shares initially
authorized under the ESPP remained available for issuance,
representing approximately 4% of our total shares outstanding as of
such date.
The board is not asking for any additional shares for the Restated
ESPP. Extending the term of the ESPP will enable use of its
remaining, previously approved shares.
The full text of the Restated ESPP is set forth in Appendix B to
this proxy statement. The principal features of the Restated ESPP
are summarized below. The description below is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the text of the Restated ESPP. The terms
of the Restated ESPP are substantially similar to those of the ESPP
that was approved by stockholders in April 2014. No offerings under
the ESPP will be made following the completion of any offering
pending on the effective date of the Restated ESPP.
Key plan provisions
Eligibility
All employees of TI, and such of its subsidiaries as the
Compensation Committee of the board of directors shall designate,
who are employees on the date of grant of the option (including
those on paid or unpaid leave of absence if the company expects
that the employee will return to work) will be eligible to
participate in offerings of options under the Restated ESPP. On or
prior to the date of grant, the Compensation Committee will
determine the effect of an employee’s termination of employment
during the term of the offering. Directors who are not employees
will not be eligible to participate in the Restated
ESPP.
As of March 1, 2023, TI and its subsidiaries had approximately
33,000 employees. Under Section 423 of the IRC, all employees of TI
and any subsidiary designated by the Compensation Committee are
required to be eligible for participation in the Restated ESPP,
with limited exception. The basis for participation in the Restated
ESPP is the Compensation Committee’s decision that an eligible
participant will further the Restated ESPP’s purpose of encouraging
a proprietary interest in TI. In exercising its discretion, the
Compensation Committee will consider the recommendations of
management and the purposes of the Restated ESPP.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 19
Offerings
Each year during the term of the Restated ESPP, unless the
Compensation Committee determines otherwise, TI will make one or
more offers to each eligible employee of options to purchase TI
common stock. Each eligible employee will be entitled to purchase
up to a number or dollar amount of shares as the Compensation
Committee may determine (but not exceeding the amount specified in
Section 423(b) of the IRC for the offering). The option price for
each offering will be determined by the Compensation Committee and
will not be less than (i) 85% of the fair market value of TI common
stock on the date of grant of the option or (ii) 85% of the fair
market value of TI common stock on the date the option is
exercised, whichever is lower. The date of grant will be as
determined by the Compensation Committee. The fair market value of
TI common stock will be determined by the method or procedure
established by the Compensation Committee. The closing price for TI
common stock on March 1, 2023, was $172.17.
The expiration date of the options will be determined for each
offering by the Compensation Committee but will not be later than
27 months from the date of grant of the option.
The term of an option will consist of an Enrollment Period, a
Payroll Deduction Period and an Exercise Day. The beginning and
ending dates of each Enrollment Period and Payroll Deduction Period
and the date of each Exercise Day will be determined by the
Compensation Committee. The employee may elect to be automatically
re-enrolled in subsequent offerings. The employee’s election to
participate in the offering will indicate the dollar amount of
shares for which the employee wishes to participate and, unless
prohibited by local law, will authorize payroll deductions to be
made over the Payroll Deduction Period. If local law prohibits
payroll deductions, the Compensation Committee may determine an
alternative method of payment. During the Payroll Deduction Period,
the Compensation Committee may allow participants to cancel or
reduce (or both) their payment authorizations. After completion of
the Payroll Deduction Period, the option will be automatically
exercised on the Exercise Day and shares will be purchased with the
amount in the employee’s account.
Under the ESPP, options are currently granted in four sets of
offerings each year on the first day that Nasdaq is open for
trading in December, March, June and September. The Payroll
Deduction Period consists of three calendar months beginning on the
first day of the calendar month following the grant date. The
Exercise Day is the first day on which Nasdaq is open for trading
after the end of the Payroll Deduction Period. The board
anticipates that offerings under the Restated ESPP will operate in
a similar manner.
An employee will not be granted an option under the Restated ESPP
if the employee, immediately after the option is granted, owns
stock having 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value
of all classes of stock of the company. No employee will be granted
an option under the Restated ESPP that permits the employee to
accrue rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase
plans of the company at a rate that exceeds $25,000 (or such other
maximum as may be prescribed from time to time under the IRC) of
the fair market value of such stock (determined at the date of
grant).
Transfer
An option granted under the Restated ESPP may not be transferred
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during
the lifetime of the employee to whom granted, may be exercised only
for the benefit of the employee.
Authorized shares and adjustments
No more than 40 million shares of TI common stock may be sold
pursuant to the Restated ESPP, subject to adjustments as described
below.
The board is not asking for any additional shares for the Restated
ESPP.
If the Compensation Committee determines that an adjustment is
appropriate by reason of any dividend or other distribution,
recapitalization, stock split, or other similar corporate
transaction or event (as more fully described in the Restated ESPP
under the heading “Adjustments”), it will adjust any or all of (i)
the number and type of shares that may be made subject to options,
(ii) the number and type of shares subject to outstanding options
and (iii) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to any
option.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 20
Either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares may be
made subject to options under the Restated ESPP. Any shares not
purchased prior to the termination of an option may be again
subjected to an option under the Restated ESPP.
Administration
The Restated ESPP will be administered by the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee will have full power and
authority to construe, interpret and administer the Restated ESPP.
The Compensation Committee may delegate such power, authority and
rights with respect to the administration of the Restated ESPP
(including, without limitation, the designation of subsidiaries
whose employees may participate in offerings and the exclusion of
employees from specified offerings, in each case to the extent
permitted by Section 423 of the IRC) as it deems appropriate to one
or more members of the management of TI; provided, however, that
any delegation to management will conform with the requirements of
applicable law and stock exchange regulations.
Amendment, subplans and termination
The Compensation Committee may, at any time and from time to time,
alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Restated ESPP. The
Compensation Committee may also recommend to the board revisions of
the Restated ESPP. However, unless the stockholders of TI have
first approved thereof, (i) the total number of shares for which
options may be exercised under the Restated ESPP will not be
increased or decreased, except as described above in “Authorized
shares and adjustments,” and (ii) no amendment may be made that
allows an option price for offerings under the Restated ESPP to be
less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock of TI on
the date of grant of the options or, if lower, 85% of the fair
market value of the common stock of TI on the date on which an
option is exercised.
The Compensation Committee may also adopt and amend stock purchase
subplans for employees of subsidiaries with such provisions as are
appropriate to conform with local laws, practices and procedures.
All such subplans will be subject to the limitations on the amount
of stock that may be issued under the Restated ESPP.
No offering may be made under the Restated ESPP after April 27,
2033.
Plan benefits and historical participation
Each executive officer of the company qualifies for participation
under the Restated ESPP and may be eligible to annually purchase up
to $25,000 worth of the company’s common stock at a discount below
the market price. However, participation in the Restated ESPP is
voluntary and dependent upon the executive officer’s election to
participate, and the benefit of participating will depend on the
terms of the offerings (if any) and fair market value of the stock
on the Exercise Day. Accordingly, future benefits that would be
received by the executive officers and other eligible employees
under the proposed Restated ESPP are not determinable at this
time.
The table below sets forth the shares purchased by the named
executive officers and other employees under the ESPP during
2022.

U.S. federal tax consequences
The following summary is limited to the U.S. federal tax laws. It
does not include the tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign
country in which the participant resides.
The Restated ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock
purchase plan” under Section 423 of the IRC. However, TI does not
undertake to maintain such status throughout the term of the
Restated ESPP.
In accordance with SEC rules, the following description of tax
matters relating to the Restated ESPP is provided. In general, a
participant has no taxable event at the time of grant of an option
or at the time of exercise of an option, but will realize taxable
income at the time the participant sells the shares acquired under
the Restated ESPP.
If the participant observes certain holding period requirements,
the participant’s gain on sale will generally be taxed at capital
gains rates, except that in certain circumstances a portion of the
participant’s gain will be treated as ordinary income. Those
circumstances will generally occur if the exercise price of the
shares is established as a percentage less than 100% of the fair
market value of the shares at the beginning of the offering period,
or if at the beginning of the period it is unknown what the
exercise price will be, for example, if the exercise price can be
determined only on the Exercise Day. The participant’s ordinary
income will not be greater than the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the shares at the time of grant over the exercise
price (or, if lower, the actual proceeds of sale over the actual
purchase price of the shares). If the exercise price is a function
of the value of the shares on the Exercise Day, the exercise price
will be determined as if the option was exercised at the time of
grant for purposes of calculating this limit. If the participant
sells the shares only after satisfying the holding period
requirements, the company will not be entitled to a
deduction.
If the participant sells the shares before satisfying the holding
period requirements, then the participant will realize ordinary
income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise
price and the fair market value of the stock on the Exercise Day.
The company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The
remainder of the proceeds of sale will be taxed at capital gains
rates.
The board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the amendment and
restatement of the TI Employees 2014 Stock Purchase Plan to extend
the termination date.
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 2022 for the non-employee
directors were:
•Annual
retainer of $110,000 for board and committee service.
•Additional
annual retainer of $40,000 for service as the lead
director.
•Additional
annual retainer of $35,000 for service as chair of the Audit
Committee; $25,000 for service as chair of the Compensation
Committee; and $20,000 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 approximately $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
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 22
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 restricted stock units with a grant date value of
approximately $200,000 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. It is also against TI policy for directors
and executive officers to pledge TI stock.
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 2022, that rate was 2.70%. 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 a 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.

(3)Shown
is the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock units
granted in 2022 calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ Topic 718,
Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). The assumptions used for
purposes of calculating the grant date fair value are described in
Note 3 to the financial statements contained in Item 8 (“Note 3 to
the 2022 financial statements”) in TI’s annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 pages 45-46.

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% 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 2022, this
interest rate exceeded the Federal Rate by 0.65 percentage points.

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 vote on future advisory votes on
executive compensation
The board asks shareholders to cast an advisory vote on whether
future advisory votes on executive officer compensation should be
held every year, every two years or every three years.
The board requests that shareholders vote in favor of future
advisory votes to be held annually. An annual advisory vote will
allow our shareholders to provide us with their direct and timely
input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices and is
consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in
discussions with, our shareholders on corporate governance matters
and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and
practices.
Although the outcome of the vote is not binding on the company, the
board will consider the outcome when setting the frequency of
future advisory votes.
The board of directors recommends a vote of EVERY YEAR for future
advisory votes on the compensation of the company’s executive
officers.
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
41-55.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 25
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 26-55
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 2022. 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 2022, 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 2022 compensation program, why we selected them and
how they relate to one another; and
•How
we determined the amount of compensation for 2022.
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 2022 (collectively called the “named
executive officers” (NEOs)) 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.
•2022
compensation decisions for the CEO:
◦Base
salary was increased by 4.0% over 2021.
◦The
grant date fair value of equity compensation awarded in 2022
increased by 15% from 2021, reflecting an effort to align with the
projected market range for similarly situated CEOs in our
Comparator Group (as defined below).
◦The
bonus decision was based primarily on the following performance
results in 2022:

•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:
◦Executive
officers do not have employment contracts and are not guaranteed
salary increases, bonus amounts or awards of equity
compensation.
◦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.
◦Bonus
and equity compensation awards are subject to clawback as described
under “Recoupment policy” below.
◦We
do not provide excessive perquisites. We provide no tax gross-ups
for perquisites.
◦We
do not guarantee a return or provide above-market returns on
compensation that has been deferred.
◦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
For years, we have run our business and invested in our people and
communities 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. Central to our ambitions,
which are the foundation of our approach to environmental, social
and governance (ESG) and sustainability, is a belief that in order
for all stakeholders to benefit, the company must grow stronger
over the long term. Our compensation program is structured with
these ambitions in mind.
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, before
setting annual compensation for the executives. The committee chair
regularly reports on committee actions at board
meetings.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 27
In assessing performance and compensation decisions, the committee
does 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 absolute and relative performance in hindsight after
year-end (for the most recent one- and three-year periods), 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. It also promotes
accuracy in our assessment and comparison to competition and
eliminates the need for adjustments to formulas, targets or
thresholds during times of uncertain market
conditions.
The primary elements of our executive compensation program are as
follows:
Near-term compensation, paid in cash
|
|
|
|
|
|
Base Salary |
Purpose
|
Basic, least variable form of compensation, designed to provide a
stable source of income.
|
|
|
Strategy
|
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 is the same for all employees to
focus them on a company goal, and set pay-out potential at a level
that will affect behavior. Profit sharing is paid in addition to
any performance bonus awarded for the year.
For the last 18 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 2022 was:
•Below
10% company-level annual operating profit as a percentage of
revenue (“operating profit margin”): no
profit sharing
•At
10% operating profit margin: profit sharing = 2% of base
salary
•At
operating profit margin above 10%: profit sharing increases by 0.5%
of base salary for each percentage point of operating profit margin
between 10% and 24%, and 1% of base salary for each percentage
point of operating profit margin above 24%. The maximum profit
sharing is 20% of base salary.
In 2022, TI delivered operating profit margin of 50.6%. As a
result, all eligible employees, including executive officers,
received profit sharing of 20% of base salary.
|
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 28
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 profit 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..1
|
|
|
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
|
Alignment with shareholders; long-term focus; balance retention,
particularly with respect to restricted stock units, and
performance.
|
|
|
Strategy |
We grant a combination of non-qualified 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 committee does not rely on
formulas or performance targets or thresholds.
|
|
|
Terms
|
The terms and conditions of stock options and restricted stock
units are summarized under “Outstanding equity awards at fiscal
year-end 2022.” 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.
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.”

page 25 of the company’s 2022 proxy statement.
In July 2022, 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 changes to the group. Accordingly, the
committee used the same Comparator Group for the bonus decisions in
January 2023 relating to 2022 performance. The table below compares
the Comparator Group to TI in terms of revenue and market

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 (if any) that proposed compensation would have on other
compensation elements, 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.
Base salary
The committee set the 2022 rate of base salary for the following
named executive officers as follows:

For each of these executive officers, the committee set the 2022
base-salary rate listed above in January 2022. 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 2022.
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 2022, 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 2022.” The grant
date fair value of the awards is reflected in that table and in the

*See
Notes 2 and 3 to the summary compensation table for information on
how grant date fair value was calculated.
In January 2022, the committee awarded equity compensation to each
of the named executive officers listed above. The committee’s
general objective was to award to those officers equity
compensation that had a grant date fair value at approximately the
median market level of the most recently disclosed equity
compensation granted by the Comparator Group.
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 27, 2022, the second trading day after the company
released its annual and fourth-quarter financial results for 2021.
All grants were made under the Texas Instruments 2009 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, which shareholders approved in April 2009 and
amended in 2016.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 32
All grants have the terms described under “Outstanding equity
awards at fiscal year-end 2022.” 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 2023, the committee set the 2022 bonus compensation for
executive officers based on its assessment of 2022 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
◦revenue
growth,
◦operating
profit margin,
◦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 company and strategic positioning (including ESG),
operating performance, and revenue growth, including TI
competitiveness in key markets with core products and technologies,
and the strength of relationships with customers.
In the comparison of relative performance, the committee used the
following companies (the “competitor companies”):
|
|
|
|
|
|
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. |
NXP Semiconductors N.V. |
Analog Devices, Inc. |
ON Semiconductor Corporation |
Broadcom Inc. |
Qorvo, Inc. |
Infineon Technologies AG |
QUALCOMM Incorporated |
Intel Corporation |
Renesas Electronics Corporation |
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. |
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. |
Microchip Technology Incorporated |
STMicroelectronics N.V. |
NVIDIA Corporation |
|
To the extent the companies had not released financial results for
the year or the most recent quarter, the committee based its
evaluation on estimates and projections of the companies’ financial
results for 2022.
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
2022.
Assessment of 2022 performance
The committee spent extensive time in December and January
assessing TI’s results and strategic progress for 2022. In setting
bonuses, the committee considered quantitative and qualitative
measures on both an absolute and relative basis, and the company’s
strategic focus on long-term growth of free cash flow per share,
and made certain that resulting decisions were founded on both
solid data and sound judgment. On an absolute basis, revenue and
operating profit margin were both positive, with operating profit
margin being better than median relative to competitors while
revenue remained below median. TSR was down on an absolute basis
but still better than median relative to competitors. Free cash
flow for the year was $5.92 billion and 29.6% of revenue. In
aggregate, the committee determined that the company continued to
strengthen its strategic position and operating performance, while
also growing 2022 revenue. Therefore, the committee targeted a
bonus increase of 10% for 2022. Details on the committee’s
assessment are below.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 33
Strategic progress
•Our
primary objective is the long-term growth of free cash flow per
share. To achieve this objective, the company’s strategy is
comprised of having a great business model, a disciplined approach
to capital allocation and a focus on efficiency.
•The
company’s business model is designed around four sustainable
competitive advantages that, in combination, provide tangible
benefits and are difficult to replicate. These advantages include
(i) a strong foundation of manufacturing and technology,
(ii) a broad portfolio of analog and embedded processing
products, (iii) the reach of our market channels, and
(iv) diversity and longevity of our products, markets and
customer positions. In 2022, the company continued investing to
strengthen and leverage these advantages for the long term, despite
ongoing global challenges and supply chain disruptions across the
world.
•The
company’s strategic focus is on analog and embedded processing
products sold into six end markets: industrial, automotive,
personal electronics, communications equipment, enterprise systems
and other. In 2022, the company continued the disciplined
allocation of R&D spending to strengthen its product portfolio,
building on the existing foundation for near- and long-term
results.
◦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 2022, greater
than 90% of TI’s revenue came from analog and embedded processing
semiconductors.
◦The
company places additional strategic emphasis on designing and
selling products into the industrial and automotive markets, which
it believes represent the best growth opportunity because of the
increasing semiconductor content in these markets. In 2022,
approximately 65% of TI’s revenue came from industrial and
automotive markets.
•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.
•TI’s
in-house capability to manufacture semiconductors remains a
competitive advantage by providing lower costs and greater control
of the supply chain. In 2022, TI continued to invest to strengthen
its competitive advantage in manufacturing and technology as part
of the company's long-term capacity planning. The company began
production in its new 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facilities
in Richardson, Texas (RFAB2), and Lehi, Utah (LFAB), and started
construction on its next 300-millimeter wafer fabrication
facilities in Sherman, Texas (SM1 and SM2).
•In
2022, the company continued to make progress in building closer
direct relationships with its customers to further strengthen and
extend its reach of market channels. The company continues to build
on prior multiyear investments in its sales and marketing team,
TI.com, business processes and logistics to build closer direct
relationships with its customers. For example, in 2022 about 70% of
the company’s revenue was direct. In addition, the company
continues to invest in TI.com, delivering additional customer
convenience for online sales. TI’s reach of market channels
provides access to more customers and more of their design
projects, leading to the opportunity to sell more TI products into
each design, and also provides better insight and knowledge of
customers’ needs and design trends.
•In
total, the committee determined that TI’s strategic position was
strengthened by management’s decisions and actions in
2022.
Revenue and margin
•Annual
performance
◦TI’s
revenue was higher in 2022 than in the prior year, increasing by
9.2%, 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.
◦Revenues
for the company’s core businesses of analog and embedded processing
increased 9.3% and 7.0%, respectively.
◦Operating
profit margin was 50.6%, which was above both the prior year’s
margin and the median comparison with competitors.
•Three-year
performance
◦Compound
annual revenue growth for 2020-2022 was 11.7%, 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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 34
◦Average
operating profit margin for 2020-2022 was 47.3%, which was above
the median competitor comparison.
Total shareholder return (TSR)
•One-year
TSR was down 9.8%, better than the median TSR as compared with
competitor companies.
•The
company again generated strong cash, with free cash flow at 29.6%
of revenue.2
The company returned $7.91 billion to shareholders in 2022 through
dividends and share repurchases. Dividends represented 72.5% of
free cash flow, and the quarterly dividend rate increased 8%,
marking 19 consecutive years of dividend increases. The company
used $3.62 billion to repurchase 22.2 million shares of stock.
Dividend increases and share repurchases are important elements of
TI’s capital management.
•The
balance sheet remained robust, ending the year with cash and
short-term investments of $9.07 billion.
•The
three-year compound annual growth rate for TSR was 11.5%, slightly
below the median competitor comparison.

One-year and three-year TSR percentages are obtained from
a report generated using a subscription service to Equilar, an
executive compensation and corporate governance data
firm.
Before setting the bonuses for the named executive officers, the
committee considered the officers’ individual performance. The
performance of Mr. Templeton was judged according to the
performance of the company. For the other officers, the committee
considered the factors described below in assessing individual
performance. In making this assessment, the committee did not apply
any formula or performance targets.
Mr. Lizardi is the chief financial officer. The committee noted the
financial management of the company.
Mr. Ilan is responsible for all business and sales operations,
information technology, and global technology and manufacturing
operations. The committee noted the financial performance and
strategic position of the product lines and activities for which he
was responsible.
Mr. Kozanian is responsible for our analog signal chain product
line within our analog business. The committee noted the financial
performance and strategic position of this product
line.
Mr. Flessner is responsible for our semiconductor technology and
manufacturing operations. The committee noted the performance of
those operations, including their cost-competitiveness and
inventory management.
The bonuses awarded for 2022 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.
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.

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 based on
market level of pay and consistent with the objectives of the
program.

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. Please see Notes 2
and 3 to the summary compensation table for information about how
grant date fair value was calculated.
The “Total” for all named executive officers for 2022 was higher
than 2021 primarily due to higher equity awards in 2022, reflecting
an effort to align with the projected market range for similarly
situated executives in our Comparator Group.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 36
The compensation decisions shown above resulted in the following
2022 compensation mix for the named
executive officers:
* Average data for the named executive
officers other than Mr. Templeton
Equity dilution
The Compensation Committee’s goal is to keep net annual dilution
from equity compensation under 2%. “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 2022 resulted in 0.6% 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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 37
Recoupment policy
The committee has a policy concerning recoupment (“clawback”) 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 or senior vice president whose fraud or willful misconduct
contributed to the need for such restatement. Such action may
include (i) 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 (ii) 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 2022, 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
2022. Approximately 83% 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.
We have a U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan that was
closed to new participants in 1997. Then-current participants were
given 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. Messrs.
Templeton and Flessner chose to have their benefits frozen. The
other named executive officers 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 “2022
pension benefits.”
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.
All employees who are not accruing benefits in the qualified
pension plan are eligible to participate in a defined contribution
plan that provides employer matching contributions. All named
executive officers 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.
The committee considers the potential effect on the executives’
retirement benefits when it sets salary and performance bonus
levels.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 38
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 2022 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% 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
Note 6 to the summary compensation table for 2022 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 2022 based on this review.
The Texas Instruments 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan generally
establishes double-trigger change in control terms. 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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 39
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 six times base
salary, and the guideline for other executive officers is three
times base salary. 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 2022 is
discussed under “Analysis of compensation determinations – 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 with the company’s management. Based on

discussion of the assumptions used for purposes of the valuation of
the awards granted in 2021 and 2020 appears in Note 3 to the

(4)Consists
of the profit sharing amount paid to each of the named executive
officers for 2022.
(5)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,
2021, through December 31, 2022. This “change in the actuarial
value” is the difference between the 2021 and 2022 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 and Mr. Flessner’s benefits under the
company’s pension plans were frozen as of December 31, 1997.
Messrs. Lizardi, Ilan and Kozanian do not participate in any of the
company’s defined benefit pension plans.
(6)Consists
of (i) the amounts in the table below, which result from
programs available to all eligible U.S. employees, and
(ii) perquisites and personal benefits that meet the
disclosure thresholds established by the SEC and are detailed in
the paragraph below.

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% 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, 2022. 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 as at least age 55 with 10 or more years
of TI service or at least age 65.
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 “clawback”) 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 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% of the voting stock or at least 80% 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.
Stock awards
The “Stock Awards” column in the table of outstanding equity awards
at fiscal year-end 2022 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.

The table below shows the termination provisions of RSUs
outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

Vesting continues; shares are paid

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 2022 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 2022 non-qualified deferred compensation
table.
2022 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 2022 and the value of any RSUs that vested in
2022. 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.

2022 pension benefits
The following table shows the present value as of December 31,
2022, of the benefit of the named executive officers under our
qualified defined benefit pension plan (TI Employees Pension Plan)
and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans (TI Employees
Non-Qualified Pension Plan (which governs amounts earned before
2005) and TI Employees Non-Qualified Pension Plan II (which governs
amounts earned after 2004)). In accordance with SEC requirements,
the amounts shown in the table do not reflect any named executive
officer’s retirement eligibility or any increase in benefits that
may result from the named executive officer’s continued employment
after December 31, 2022.

(1)Messrs.
Lizardi, Ilan and Kozanian do not participate in any of the
company’s defined benefit pension plans because they joined TI
after these plans were closed to new participants.
(2)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 and Mr. Flessner chose to participate in
the defined contribution plan. Accordingly, their accrued pension
benefits under the qualified and non-qualified plans were frozen
(i.e., they 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
and Mr. Flessner’s benefits are included in the 2022 summary
compensation table.
(3)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. Flessner have been employed by TI for longer than the years
of credited service shown in the preceding table.
(4)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.
(5)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 2022 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, 2022, is
determined using either (i) the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) interest assumption of 1.75% in 2023; 2.60% in
2024+ or (ii) the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) corporate
bond yield interest assumption of 4.75% in 2023; and 5.60% in
2024+, whichever rates produce the higher lump-sum amount. A
discount rate assumption of 5.67% for the TI Employees Pension Plan
and 5.68% 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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 47
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, 2022,
Mr. Templeton was eligible for early 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% survivor annuity, (v) joint and 75% survivor annuity and
(vi) joint and 100% survivor annuity. Participants who do not
request payment will begin to receive benefits in April of the year
after reaching the age of 72 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%
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.
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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 48
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, “change in control” is defined as (i)
acquisition of 20% 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. 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.
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 Mr.
Templeton was eligible for early retirement as of December 31,
2022, his beneficiaries would be eligible for benefits under the
survivor benefit plan if he were to die.
2022 non-qualified deferred compensation

officer’s deferred compensation account in 2022 and the aggregate

(6)Of
this amount, $19,826,400 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% of their base salary, (ii) 90% of their
performance bonus and (iii) 90% 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 2022, 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-Lending,
Northern Trust MidCap 400 Index Fund-Lending, BlackRock Equity
Index Fund F, BlackRock (EAFE) (Europe, Australia, Far East) Equity
Index Fund F, BlackRock Lifepath Index 2030 Fund F, BlackRock
Lifepath Index 2040 Fund F, BlackRock Lifepath Index 2050 Fund F,
BlackRock Lifepath Index 2025 Fund F, BlackRock Lifepath Index 2035
Fund F, BlackRock Lifepath Index 2045 Fund F, BlackRock Lifepath
Index 2055 Fund F, BlackRock Lifepath Index 2060 Fund F and
BlackRock Lifepath Index Retirement Fund F.
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
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 50
programs on the compensation decisions for 2022, see “Analysis of
compensation determinations – 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 “2022
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 “2022 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 “2022 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 2022 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.
2023 PROXY STATEMENT • PAGE 51
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, 2022, would have
accelerated payment of the balance under that plan. See “2022
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 2022 table for further information
concerning change in control provisions relating to stock options
and RSUs.

The table below shows as of December 31, 2022, the potential
payments upon termination or change in control for each of the
named executive officers.
