Both Dr. Helmes and Ms. Southern will also be members of the Board's Audit Committee.
"In the spirit of diversity of thought we are pleased to find two new competent directors," said Rick Clemmer, President and CEO of NXP.

Vikram Bhatia, who was originally nominated to the Board by the Philips UK Pension Fund ("PPTL") in May 2011, has resigned as of today as non-executive director in view of the decreased shareholding of PPTL.
