NXP Announces Extension of the Tender Offer for 9 3/4% Senior Secured Notes Due 2018

Nov 21, 2012 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN ITALY - NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (together with its subsidiaries, "NXP") today announced the extension of the expiration time (the "Expiration Time") of the previously announced tender offer (the "Tender Offer") by NXP B.V. for up to $500 million in cash of outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated 9 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the "Notes"), jointly and severally issued by NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC. The purpose of the Tender Offer is to allow NXP to lower its interest cost and to extend the maturity profile of its debt. NXP expects to use funds raised in the debt securities or term loan markets to fund the purchase of the Notes in the Tender Offer.

Expiration Time. Pursuant to the terms of the offer to purchase dated October 24, 2012 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), the Expiration Time for the Tender Offer will be extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 10, 2012, unless the Tender Offer is further extended or earlier terminated. The early tender deadline, which was also the withdrawal deadline, passed at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 9, 2012. As a result, validly tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn or revoked. Holders who have validly tendered or will validly tender additional Notes after the early tender deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Time will receive $1,142.50 per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes tendered and accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to proration.

Settlement Date. The settlement date in respect of any Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Expiration Time and that are accepted for purchase, will be promptly after the Expiration Time and is now expected to be on or about December 12, 2012, the second business day after the Expiration Time.

Amount of Notes Tendered. The table below sets forth the results of the Tender Offer for the Notes, according to information provided by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the "Tender Agent"), as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 20, 2012. As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered exceeds the $500 million maximum tender amount, the amount of Notes, if any, that will be accepted for purchase will be prorated pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

Terms and Conditions. The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain terms and conditions, including the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, including the Financing Condition and the proration described above, can be found in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.
