• Annual retainer of $80,000 for board and committee service.
• Additional annual retainer of $30,000 for service as chair of the Audit Committee; $20,000 for service as chair of the Compensation Committee; and $15,000 for service as chair of the Governance and Stockholder Relations Committee.
• Additional annual retainer of $25,000 for service as the Lead Director.
• Annual grant of a 10-year option to purchase TI common stock pursuant to the terms of the Texas Instruments 2009 Director Compensation Plan (Director Plan), which was approved by stockholders in April 2009. The grant-date value is approximately $100,000, determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model (subject to the board’s ability to adjust the grant downward). These non-qualified (NQ) options become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant and also will become fully exercisable in the event of termination of service following a change in control (as defined in the Director Plan) of TI.
• Annual grant of restricted stock units pursuant to the Director Plan with a grant date value of approximately $100,000 (subject to the board’s ability to adjust the grant downward). The restricted stock units vest on the fourth anniversary of their date of grant and upon a change in control as defined in the Director Plan. If a director is not a member of the board on the fourth anniversary of the grant, restricted stock units will nonetheless settle (i.e., the shares will issue) on such anniversary date if the director has completed eight years of service prior to termination or the director’s termination was due to death, disability or ineligibility to stand for re-election under the company’s by-laws. The director may defer settlement of the restricted stock units at his or her election. Upon settlement, the director will receive one share of TI common stock for each restricted stock unit. Dividend equivalents are paid on the restricted stock units at the same rate as dividends on TI common stock.
• $1,000 per day compensation for other activities designated by the chairman.

The board has determined that grants of equity compensation to non-employee directors will be timed to occur when grants are made to our U.S. employees in connection with the annual compensation review process. Accordingly, equity grants to non-employee directors are made in January. Please see the discussion regarding the timing of equity compensation grants in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 76.

     Directors are not paid a fee for meeting attendance, but we reimburse non-employee directors for their travel, lodging and related expenses incurred in connection with attending board, committee and stockholders meetings and other designated TI events. In addition, non-employee directors may travel on company aircraft to and from these meetings and other designated events. On occasion, directors’ spouses are invited to attend board events; the spouses’ expenses incurred in connection with attendance at those events are also reimbursed.
     Under the Director Plan, some directors have chosen to defer all or part of their cash compensation until they leave the board (or certain other specified times). These deferred amounts were credited to either a cash account or stock unit account. Cash accounts earn interest from TI at a rate currently based on Moody’s Seasoned Aaa Corporate Bonds. For 2011, that rate was 4.54 percent. Stock unit accounts fluctuate in value with the underlying shares of TI common stock, which will be issued after the deferral period. Dividend equivalents are paid on these stock units. Directors may also defer settlement of the restricted stock units they receive.
     We have arrangements with certain customers whereby our employees may purchase consumer products containing TI components at discounted pricing. In addition, the TI Foundation has an educational and cultural matching gift program. In both cases, directors are entitled to participate on the same terms and conditions available to employees.
     Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in any TI-sponsored pension plan.
