Auditors
Ernst & Young, or its predecessor, has served as TI's independent registered
public accounting firm for more than 40 years.
We have built-in safeguards to assure their independence. For example, there
is regular turnover at the junior level each year; there is a slow rolling turnover
at the senior level for continuity; and the coordinating partner changes every
five years in accordance with SEC requirements. We continue to ask for stockholder
ratification of our auditor at our annual stockholders meeting.
