Governance guidelines

 

 

*The guidelines represent the current position of the board on various corporate governance matters; the board may, in its sole discretion, amend the guidelines from time to time if it deems it appropriate to do so in order to serve the best interests of the company and its stockholders.


 

The board, upon recommendation from the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee will establish appropriate compensation for board members from time to time. Until a change appears appropriate, members of the board who are not officers of TI will receive an annual retainer of $80,000; the chair of the Audit Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000; the chair of the Compensation Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000; and the chair of the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000.

From time to time, the chairman of the board may designate additional activities for board members. In the event designated activities are undertaken by a board member, compensation will be $1,000 per day, prorated based on time actually spent on such activities.

Under the Texas Instruments 2003 Director Compensation Plan, new members of the board who are not officers of TI will be awarded 2,000 restricted stock units. Also, each member of the board who is not an officer of TI will be annually granted a 10-year option to purchase 7,000 shares of TI common stock and 2,500 restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit represents one share of company common stock.
