This committee also has the responsibility to select investment managers and assign funds to investment managers of benefit plan trust funds; to approve the compensation of trustees and investment managers and other matters; and to report to the board concerning the performance and adequacy of trustees and investment managers. Directors Compensation Directors who are not employees are annually paid a retainer of $40,000, a fee of $7,500 for each committee on which they serve, $2,500 for service as a committee chair, $2,500 for attendance at the Company's strategic planning conference, and $2,500 for attendance at the Company's annual planning conference. Compensation for other designated activities, such as visits to TI facilities and attendance at certain company events, is provided at the rate of $1,000 per day. In 1993, the Company made payments (an aggregate of $26,669) relating to premiums for life, medical, dental, travel and accident insurance policies covering directors. Subject to certain limitations, directors may elect that all or part of their fees be deferred until retirement from the board or other specified times. Deferred fees earn interest from the Company at a rate (currently based on interest rates on certain certificates of deposit) determined from time to time by the board or the Compensation Committee. 6 The Company maintains a directors retirement plan under which directors who have not at any time been entitled to receive benefits under a pension plan maintained by the Company will, upon retirement from the board, death, or disability, after at least five years of service as a director, be entitled to receive benefits. The benefits will be payable for life, or if greater, the number of years served as a director, and will be in an annual amount equal to 75% of the annual retainer payable to directors for the year in which the director retires, dies, or becomes disabled. Individuals who were directors on February 18, 1994 will receive a reduced benefit equal to 60% of the annual retainer payable to directors for the year in which they retire unless they elect to forego life, medical, dental and accident insurance currently provided by the Company. Directors may elect to receive the retirement benefit in the form of a lump sum payment in lieu of periodic payments. Each director who has completed five years of service as a member of the board of directors, and whose board membership terminates as a result of ineligibility for reelection after the attainment of a specified age or, in the case of non-employee directors, as a result of death or disability, will be eligible to participate in a Director Award Program. The program was established to promote the Company's interest in supporting educational institutions. The Company may contribute a total of $500,000 with respect to each eligible director to up to three eligible educational institutions (or other charitable institutions approved by the Board Organization and Nominating Committee) recommended by the director and approved by the Company. The contributions will be made in five annual installments of $100,000 each, commencing as soon as practicable following the director's death. Directors derive no financial benefit from the program and all charitable deductions will accrue solely to the Company. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Compensation Overview The Company is committed to building shareholder value through improved performance and growth. To achieve this objective, TI seeks to create an environment in which employees recognize that they are valued as individuals and treated with respect, dignity and fairness. The Company uses a merit-based system of compensation to encourage individual employees to achieve their productive and creative potential, and to link individual financial goals to Company performance. The Company regularly compares its compensation system with those of competitors and refines its system as necessary to encourage a motivated and productive work force. The following tables provide information regarding the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers. 7 Summary Compensation Table The following table sets forth information with respect to the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers for services in all capacities to the Company in 1991, 1992 and 1993.

These options are fully exercisable during the ninth and tenth year without regard to earnings per share and also may become fully exercisable in the event of a change in control (as defined in the options) of the Company. Currently, the exercise price may be paid by delivery of already-owned shares and tax withholding obligations related to exercise may be paid in shares, subject to certain conditions. (2) The price of TI common stock at the end of the 10-year term of the stock options granted at a 5% annual appreciation would be $89.18 and at a 10% annual appreciation would be $142.01. (3) The gain is calculated from $54.75, the exercise price of the options listed above, based on all the outstanding shares of common stock on April 15, 1993, the grant date of the options. (4) The data presented for all employees represents the gain employees would realize through the appreciation of the stock price of TI stock held in TI profit sharing plans from the date of grant of the stock options listed above, assuming 5% and 10% annual appreciation over the 10-year option term.

10 Pension Plan Table The following table sets forth the approximate annual benefits relating to the U.S. pension plan that would be payable as of December 31, 1993 under various assumptions as to average credited earnings (as defined in the plan) and years of credited service (as defined in the plan) to employees in higher salary classifications who are 65 years of age as of such date. Benefits are based on eligible earnings. Eligible earnings include (a) salary as shown in the summary compensation table; (b) bonus as shown in the summary compensation table; and (c) the value, at the time of payment, of stock awarded under the Company's former Incentive Compensation Plan (see "Restricted Stock Awards" column, and related footnote, in the summary compensation table). Other elements of compensation shown in the summary compensation table or referred to in the footnotes to that table are not included in eligible earnings.
Estimated Annual Benefits Under Pension Plan for Specified Years of Credited Service(2)(3) Average -------------------------------------------------------------------- Credited Earnings (1) 15 Years 20 Years 25 Years 30 Years 35 Years 40 Years 45 Years - -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- $250,000 $ 53,694 $ 71,593 $ 89,491 $107,389 $125,287 $144,037 $162,787 $350,000 $ 76,194 $101,593 $126,991 $152,389 $177,787 $204,037 $230,287 $450,000 $ 98,694 $131,593 $164,491 $197,389 $230,287 $264,037 $297,787 $550,000 $121,194 $161,593 $201,991 $242,389 $282,787 $324,037 $365,287 $650,000 $143,694 $191,593 $239,491 $287,389 $335,287 $384,037 $432,787 $750,000 $166,194 $221,593 $276,991 $332,389 $387,787 $444,037 $500,287 $850,000 $188,694 $251,593 $314,491 $377,389 $440,287 $504,037 $567,787 - -------------------- (1) Calculated by dividing (a) the average annual eligible earnings during the five consecutive years of highest earnings prior to 1993 multiplied by the total years of credited service prior to 1993, plus 1993 eligible earnings, by (b) the total years of credited service. At December 31, 1993, the named executive officers were credited with the following years of credited service and had the following average credited earnings, respectively, under the U.S. pension plan: Mr. Junkins, 35 years, $767,137; Mr. Mitchell, 32 years, $404,737; Mr. Weber, 32 years, $443,324; Mr. Hayes, 26 years, $287,556; and Mr. Agnich, 21 years, $335,978. (2) If the amount otherwise payable under the pension plan should be restricted by the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the amount in excess of the Act's restrictions will be paid by the Company. (3) The benefits under the plan are computed as single life annuity at age 65. The amounts shown in the table reflect the offset provided in the pension plan under the pension formula adopted July 1, 1989 to comply with social security integration requirements. The integration offset is $2,556 for 15 years of credited service, $3,407 for 20 years of credited service, $4,259 for 25 years of credited service, $5,111 for 30 years of credited service, $5,963 for 35 years of credited service, $5,963 for 40 years of credited service and $5,963 for 45 years of credited service.
11 Early Retirement Agreements The Company has a policy providing for optional early retirement agreements for the chairman of the board, the president and such other personnel as the board of directors may designate, upon attainment of age 58 and such minimum lengths of service as the board may specify. Participants enter into early retirement agreements with the Company which among other things prohibit competition with the Company until the attainment of age 69. Payments under the agreements are based on the difference between the retirement benefits the individual is to receive from the Company's U.S. pension plan and the retirement benefits the individual would have received from the pension plan had the individual remained in employment with the Company until the attainment of age 65 at a rate of compensation equal to the average annual eligible earnings (as defined in the pension plan) received during the three years immediately preceding early retirement. The individual may elect payment under the early retirement agreement in the form of monthly payments for life, monthly payments to the individual or the individual's estate or survivors until the date of the individual's 69th birthday, or a 50% joint and survivor's payment. 12 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the board of directors has furnished the following report on executive compensation paid or awarded to executive officers for 1993: The executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the Committee), which is composed of the individuals listed below, all of whom are independent directors of the corporation. The program consists of base salaries, annual incentive awards and long-term compensation. At higher management levels, the mix of compensation is weighted more to the performance-based components--annual incentive and long-term compensation. In determining the compensation of the executive officers, the Committee considered guidelines developed for each component of compensation. As indicated below, the guidelines took account of compensation practices of competitor companies (as reported in various surveys administered by national compensation consulting firms) and the relative performance of TI and competitor companies. The competitor companies are primarily major high- technology competitors in one or more of the markets - semiconductor, defense and information technology - in which the Company operates. While many of these companies are included in the S&P High-Technology Composite Index appearing in the graph regarding total shareholder return on page 16, these companies are not the same as the companies comprising that index. Each guideline was set including the best available data from as many competitor companies as practicable. The Committee also considered the performance of the executive officers toward the Company's prior year and long-term strategic objectives; in this connection, the CEO made recommendations regarding the components of each executive's compensation package except his own. In its considerations, the Committee did not assign quantitative relative weights to different factors or follow mathematical formulae. Rather, the Committee exercised its discretion and made a judgment after considering the factors it deemed relevant. The Committee's decisions regarding 1993 executive compensation were designed to: (1) align the interests of executives with the interests of the stockholders by providing performance-based awards; and (2) allow the Company to compete for and retain executives critical to the Company's success by providing an opportunity for compensation that is comparable to the levels offered by other companies in our markets. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in a taxable year to the extent that the employee's compensation exceeds $1 million. In December 1993, the Internal Revenue Service published proposed regulations governing the $1 million deductibility cap. Pursuant to those proposed regulations, the Company's "covered employees" will be those who, at the end of the year, are the chief executive officer and the four other highest compensated officers of the Company as determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission governing executive compensation disclosure. Under the transitional rules set forth in the proposed regulations, all compensation attributable to stock options granted under the Company's Long- Term Incentive Plan prior to the Company's 1997 Annual Meeting is expected to qualify for deductibility under Section 162(m). Also, the Committee expects that the annual incentive awards granted to date to the Company's executive officers will, together with their 1994 salaries and any other compensation paid to them in 1994, qualify for deductibility. The Committee's policy with respect to qualifying other compensation to be paid to its executive officers in the future has not yet been determined. 13 Annual Compensation Annual compensation (base salary and annual incentive) guidelines were established such that TI executives will receive a level of annual compensation at, above or below the median annual compensation paid by competitor companies depending upon whether TI's actual ROA is at, above or below its internally established performance threshold, as described below. Base Salary. Base salary guidelines were established at the median level of salaries for similarly situated executives of competitor companies, or of organizations within competitor companies, of similar size (in terms of total revenue). The Committee in its discretion, made recommendations regarding officer salaries to the board in January 1993 at what it considered to be appropriate levels after reviewing performance toward prior year objectives (such as attaining positive cash flow for 1992) and long-term strategic objectives (such as a shift in the product mix of the Company's semiconductor business, or achievement of a target sustained after-tax return on total assets for a specific Company unit or, in the case of the CEO, the Company itself). In January 1993, the CEO received a base salary adjustment to an annual salary rate of $700,200. Although the Company's guidelines are to provide base salary at the median of competitor companies, the Committee had not adjusted Mr. Junkins' salary in the prior two years. Noting the improvement in the financial performance of the Company during 1992, as evidenced by a return to profitability, the Committee adjusted Mr. Junkins' salary to the level stated above, which, in the Committee's judgment, remained somewhat below the median of CEOs of competitor companies. Annual Incentive. The Committee determined annual incentive awards in December 1993 and January 1994. As the performance component of annual compensation, the annual incentive award varies significantly based on the Company's profitability and the individual's contribution toward the Company's performance. The performance threshold established for purposes of determining annual incentive awards is stated in terms of after-tax return on total assets (ROA). The ROA performance threshold was established for 1993 taking into account (a) the ROA performance, in recent years, of competitor companies, and (b) the ROA the Company believes would be likely to increase shareholder value over the long term. Taking into account each executive's contributions toward prior year objectives and the degree to which TI's ROA performance exceeded the ROA performance threshold, the Committee granted annual incentive awards to TI's executive officers such that the level of the officers' annual compensation (base salary plus incentive award) for 1993 slightly exceeded the median of competitors' annual compensation. In determining the CEO's annual incentive award, the Committee noted that progress was made in a number of strategic milestones, essential for achieving the Company's goal of sustained ROA performance and building shareholder value. In semiconductors, operating margins increased sharply as differentiated products increased to about 50% of total semiconductor revenues. In defense electronics, profit margins were maintained despite the continued decline in U.S. defense spending. For information technology, new client/server software was successfully introduced to market and actions taken to improve financial performance. With success in cycle-time reduction and asset management programs, TI generated a positive cash flow, despite the higher level of capital expenditures. Collectively, these accomplishments have permitted an acceleration in the R&D in 1993 by more than $100 million, laying the foundation for TI's future growth. Taking into account these performance factors and the degree to which TI's ROA exceeded the performance threshold, the Committee granted Mr. Junkins an annual incentive award of $740,000 for 1993. Mr. Junkins' annual compensation (base salary plus incentive award) for 1993 approximated the median for competitor companies. 14 Long-Term Compensation The Committee determined long-term compensation in April 1993. Stock options constitute TI's primary long-term incentive vehicle. Stock options granted in 1993 were granted at 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, have a 10-year term and do not become exercisable until after eight years, although exercisability may be accelerated to the extent that earnings per share goals are achieved (or in the event of a change in control of the Company). Any value received by the executive from an option grant depends completely upon increases in the price of TI common stock. Guidelines for awards granted under TI's long-term incentive program were set with the intention of providing TI executives an opportunity for financial gain equivalent to the median opportunity provided by competitor companies through all their long-term compensation programs. For this purpose, the future rate of appreciation of the shares underlying stock-based awards is assumed to be the same for all companies. Although not considered in establishing guidelines for stock option grants, the size of prior grants was considered in administering the guidelines. The Committee reviewed the guidelines. Taking into account each executive's contribution toward prior year objectives and expected contribution toward meeting the Company's long-term strategic objectives, the Committee determined to follow the guidelines for all but the CEO and one other executive officer. In the case of the General Counsel, the Committee granted stock options slightly in excess of the guidelines and also granted a stock award of 1340 shares in recognition of his contribution to the generation of significant royalty revenues and the ongoing protection of the Company's intellectual property rights. The stock award vests over a period of three years. In determining the CEO's stock option grant, the Committee reviewed progress made toward the Company's long-term objectives: a shift in the product mix of the semiconductor business toward differentiated products was proceeding ahead of schedule; steady progress was being made toward meeting the Company's ROA goal; profit margins were being maintained in defense electronics while sizing that business to a smaller market; and R&D investments were being increased in areas that could provide significant new business opportunities for the Company. The Committee determined that the grant of the option to purchase 50,000 shares at a price per share of $54.75 (the market value of TI's common stock on the date of grant), would, in its judgment, provide the CEO with a competitive financial opportunity. Although substantial progress was made toward the Company's long-term objectives, the option grant was, in the Committee's judgment, slightly below the median; the Committee anticipates that as this progress toward the objectives is sustained, future grants will be nearer to or may exceed the median. Until the year 2001, the exercisability of the option depends primarily on the achievement of specific earnings per share goals. William S. Lee, Chair David M. Roderick Gerald W.

17 Cost of Solicitation The solicitation is made on behalf of the board of directors of the Company. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, the Company will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy material to their principals and will reimburse them for their expenses in so doing. Officials and regular employees of the Company, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally, by telephone or telegram, from some stockholders if proxies are not promptly received. In addition, the Company has retained Georgeson & Company, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost of $15,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Proposals of Stockholders The deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Company's 1995 proxy material is November 2, 1994. Suggestions from stockholders concerning the Company's business are welcome and all will be carefully considered by the Company's management. To assure appropriate board review of such suggestions, the Stockholder Relations and Public Policy Committee of the board of directors periodically reviews correspondence from stockholders and management's responses. Through this activity, stockholders are provided access at the board level without having to resort to formal stockholder proposals. As a general matter, the board would prefer that stockholders present their views through the mechanism provided by its Stockholder Relations and Public Policy Committee rather than through the process of formal stockholder proposals. Vote Required The ten nominees for election as directors at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders who receive the greatest number of votes cast at that meeting by the holders of the Company's common stock entitled to vote at that meeting, a quorum being present, shall become directors at the conclusion of the tabulation of votes. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company's common stock, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, a quorum being present, is necessary to approve any other matters as may properly come before the meeting. Under Delaware law and the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, whether those stockholders vote FOR, AGAINST or abstain from voting, will be counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval of such matters, and the total number of votes cast FOR each of these matters will be counted for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. An abstention from voting on a matter by a stockholder present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting has the same legal effect as a vote AGAINST the matter even though the stockholder or interested parties analyzing the results of the voting may interpret such a vote differently. Other Matters Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires certain persons, including the Company's directors and executive officers, to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding beneficial ownership of certain equity securities of the Company. During 1993, John W. White, a former vice president of the Company, filed one late report. 18 The firm of Ernst & Young has been selected by the board of directors, pursuant to the recommendation of its Audit Committee, as independent auditors for the Company. Representatives of such firm are expected to be present, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions, at the annual meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so; they have indicated that, as of this date, they do not desire to do so. By Order of the Board of Directors, RICHARD J.
