NXP Announces Launch of Senior Unsecured Notes Offering

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN ITALY

Eindhoven, Netherlands, May 18, 2016 - NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (together with its subsidiaries, “NXP”) announced today that its subsidiaries NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC intend to offer senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”, together with the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”) in a total aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by certain of NXP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the Netherlands and the United States (the “Notes Guarantors”) and will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of NXP’s subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the Notes. In addition, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all secured debt of the issuers and the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.

NXP intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes and cash on hand to repay $500 million aggregate principal amount of its existing secured term loan B due 2020 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior secured notes due 2021.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

The Notes, as guaranteed by the Notes Guarantors, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This announcement is for informational purposes only. No money, securities or other consideration is being solicited, and, if sent in response to the information contained herein, will not be accepted. Neither this document nor the information contained herein constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. No offer or sale of the Notes, as guaranteed by the Notes Guarantors, shall be made in any jurisdiction where such an offer or sale would be unlawful. Any securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold without registration thereunder or pursuant to an available exemption therefrom.

This press release is not for distribution to any Italian person or any address in the Republic of Italy. In the Netherlands, an offer is made exclusively to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended from time to time.
