Exhibit 99.1

Freescale All Employee Letter

TO: All Freescale Employees:

Today, we announced that Freescale and NXP have agreed to merge in a transaction valued at approximately $40 billion (see press release attached). The combination is based on compelling strategic logic that brings together two highly successful and complementary industry leaders to create one of the world’s best-positioned semiconductor companies. The combined company would have revenues of approximately $10 billion and would be one of the industry’s largest companies.

As the transaction is subject to stockholder and regulatory approvals, the merger will likely not close until the second half of 2015. For now, and until the close of the transaction, it will be business as usual, and all of us should continue to be focused on our current responsibilities, and remain committed to meeting and surpassing the expectations of our customers. It is critical that we maintain the strong momentum we have worked so hard to establish as a team.

Let me offer some context on why we are so excited by what this transaction means for Freescale. As we all know, over the last several years, we have collectively worked very hard to successfully transform Freescale into the company it is today. Thanks to you, Freescale is a stronger and significantly more competitive company than ever before in its history. That said, the semiconductor industry is undergoing continued and rapid change where the marketplace will increasingly reward those who possess scale, size, and global reach.

This partnership brings together two companies that are an excellent fit, with highly complementary cultures, assets, and geographic footprints – and very little direct product overlap, with the exception being the RF Power business. NXP’s plan is to sell their RF Power Business. By combining with NXP, we will be in an excellent position to accelerate the growth of our business and enhance our competitiveness while continuing to create value and opportunities for all of our stakeholders – including our shareholders, customers and employees. Based on all of your hard work over the past few years, we enter this transaction from a position of strength and momentum.

This combination will provide Freescale employees with new and exciting opportunities. Over the next several months, an integration team comprised of Freescale and NXP executives will carefully analyze the operations of our two companies to ensure that we are best structured to succeed in the market. And, while we are very early in the process, we expect the vast majority of Freescale’s team will have the opportunity to be integrated into the new company.

In closing, let me emphasize that we have reached this exciting milestone for our business as a result of your hard work and dedication, and our combined company will succeed by continuing to leverage your tremendous talents. Thank you for all of your hard work, and we look forward to a bright future for our company, employees, customers, and partners.

Sincerely,

Gregg Lowe

President and Chief Executive Officer
