ITEM 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On November 14, 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated ("TI") announced that it will reduce costs and focus investments in its Wireless business on embedded markets with greater potential for sustainable growth. Cost reductions include the elimination of about 1,700 jobs worldwide. TI estimates that these actions will be substantially complete by the end of 2013.
Total charges for these actions are estimated to be about $325 million, of which about $220 million is for severance and related benefits and most of the remainder is for noncash impairments of intangible assets related to the Wireless business, including goodwill. Most of these charges will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012. The severance and related benefits will result in future cash expenditures.
As a result of these actions, TI expects annualized savings of about $450 million by the end of 2013.
