Summary
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) filed an 8-K report on April 27, 2020, detailing the outcomes of its annual meeting of stockholders held on April 23, 2020. The primary focus of the filing is the voting results on the election of the Board of Directors and two key Board proposals.

The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2020 was ratified by an even more substantial margin.
