Frequently Asked Questions

This Form 6-K filing reports the outcomes of NXP Semiconductors N.V.'s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 30, 2013. It primarily covers the adoption of financial statements, director appointments/re-appointments, and a share repurchase authorization.

While most directors were re-appointed to ensure continuity, Mr. Jean-Pierre Saad was appointed as a new non-executive director. The re-appointment of executive director Mr. R.L. Clemmer and other non-executive directors indicates a stable leadership team.

The authorization allows NXP's Board to buy back the company's own shares over an 18-month period. This can potentially reduce the number of outstanding shares, which could, in turn, increase earnings per share (EPS) and may signal management's confidence in the company's valuation.
