VOTING PROCEDURES
Beneficial Owners
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trustee or other nominee, which we refer to as your “broker,” you are considered to be the beneficial owner of these shares, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to vote on your behalf, and you are also invited to attend the Annual General Meeting. Your broker will send you a voting instruction form to direct the broker how to vote your shares. Since you are not the shareholder of record, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your broker giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual General Meeting. The overwhelming majority of our shareholders are beneficial owners (i.e., hold their shares through a broker rather than directly in their own name). Please refer to the voting instruction form provided by your broker for specific voting procedures.
Shareholders of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly known as American Stock Transfer & Trust Co), you are considered to be the shareholder of record with respect to those shares and these proxy materials are being sent to you by us. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to vote your proxy directly to NXP by submitting a written proxy or to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting. To vote by telephone or over the Internet, follow the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a proxy card. Please refer to the summary voting instructions and those included on your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability.
•Internet—You may vote by proxy on the Internet until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 p.m. Central European Time) on June 10, 2025. The website for Internet voting is http://www.proxyvote.com. Easy-to-follow prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote on the Internet, you can request electronic delivery of future proxy materials.
•Telephone—You may vote by proxy until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 p.m. Central European Time) on June 10, 2025 by using the toll-free number listed on your proxy card. Easy-to-follow prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.
•Mail—Mark, sign and date your proxy card and mail it to the address listed on the card or NXP at High Tech Campus 60, 5656 AG, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Attention: Secretary. In order for your vote to be counted, we must receive your proxy card no later than two days before the Annual General Meeting.
Revocability of Proxy
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, please refer to the instructions provided by your broker regarding how to change your vote. If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke a proxy given to a representative of NXP in any of the following ways:
•by sending a written notice of revocation to NXP at High Tech Campus 60, 5656 AG, Eindhoven, The Netherlands; Attention: Secretary, which notice must be received before shares of such shareholder are voted at the Annual General Meeting; or
•by properly submitting a later-dated, new proxy, which must be received before shares of such shareholder are voted at the Annual General Meeting (in which case only the later-dated proxy is counted and the earlier proxy is revoked); or
•by attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not, however, in and of itself, constitute a vote or revocation of a prior proxy.
General Matters
Pursuant to Dutch law, (i) common shares which are represented by “broker non-votes” (i.e. common shares held by brokers which are represented at the Annual General Meeting but which brokers are not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) and (ii) common shares represented at the Annual General Meeting, but which abstain from voting on any matter, are not included in the determination of the common shares voting on such matter, and are only counted for quorum purposes.
If you do not submit specific voting instructions to your broker, your broker will not have the ability to vote your shares in connection with proposals which are considered “non-discretionary” items for which brokerage firms require your voting instructions to vote your shares.
Each share will be entitled to one vote. According to the Company’s Articles of Association, the chair of the Annual General Meeting determines the method of voting, establishes the outcome of the votes taken, determines the existence of a quorum and validity of proxies and ballots, and certifies the results of the voting.
2

GENERAL MATTERS
The adoption of resolutions at the Annual General Meeting shall require that at least the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s issued share capital is present or represented, excluding shares for which no vote can be cast pursuant to article 29, paragraph 2 of the Company’s Articles of Association. Unless otherwise provided for in this proxy, resolutions can be adopted with a simple majority of votes cast.
Other than the proposals described in this proxy statement and matters incident to the conduct of the Annual General Meeting, we do not expect any matters to be presented for a vote at the Annual General Meeting. However, if you grant a proxy and additional matters are properly presented for a vote at the Annual General Meeting, the persons named as proxy holders, Jennifer B. Wuamett or Timothy Shelhamer, will have the discretion to vote your shares on these additional matters.
We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual General Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual General Meeting. If the final voting results are not available within four business days after the Annual General Meeting, we will provide the preliminary results in the Current Report on Form 8-K and the final results in an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the final voting results are known to us.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board, as well as the management team and the NXP Ethics Committee, promote openness and engagement through SpeakUp, a confidential reporting system described in more detail below. Furthermore, we maintain a Code of Conduct in order to promote a culture of good governance, excellence and consistency that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees and complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules thereunder, as well as applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

It covers our policy on a wide array of subjects, including corporate gifts, privacy, child labor, International Labor Organization conventions, trade compliance, working hours, sexual harassment, free-market competition, bribery and the integrity of financial reporting.
The Code of Conduct is built around the campaign “Know Right, Do Right” and consists of a framework of a variety of controls, a strict non-retaliation policy, a training program for employees, the SpeakUp telephone line and online site where people can report potential issues in a confidential manner, a confidential investigation process, risk assessments, background checks and audits. Any reports related to the Code of Conduct are brought to the attention of our Ethics Committee to ensure that all reports are properly investigated and addressed. Each quarter the Ethics Committee communicates to the Audit Committee a summary of all reports and investigations.
SUSTAINABILITY
Enabling a better, safer, more secure, and sustainable world
NXP has been committed to corporate responsibility and sustainability within our organization and throughout our stakeholder community since our founding in 2006. As we continue to evolve our sustainability programs, we’re emphasizing two aims: expanding the ways our technologies contribute to a more sustainable world and ensuring our sustainability initiatives are effectively integrated into our business.
We report our progress on our sustainability initiatives annually in our corporate sustainability report, which includes more details about our commitment to sustainable practices, products that support a sustainable future, and transparency and responsibility in our business and supply chain. Our current and past corporate sustainability reports are available on our website. The corporate sustainability report and any other information on our website are expressly not part of this proxy statement. Any targets or goals discussed in our corporate sustainability report and in this proxy statement are aspirational, and as such, no guarantees or promises are made that these goals will be met. In addition, statistics and metrics discussed in this proxy statement and in the corporate sustainability report may be based on assumptions that turn out to be incorrect.

Sustainability Scorecard for 2024
We have, since 2022, connected our sustainability efforts to employee remuneration by adding a sustainability component to our short-term Annual Incentive Plan (AIP). The sustainability component of the AIP contains multiple aspirations that support year-on-year progress toward our long-term environmental and people-related aspirations. The target weighting of the sustainability component is set at 20% of our AIP.
Please reference the "Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2024 Compensation Decisions—Annual Incentive Program" section of this proxy statement for a list of our specific 2024 annual sustainability scorecard goals, why we chose them and the progress we made toward meeting those goals over the past twelve months.
Sustainability Governance
Our sustainability strategy is aligned with and incorporated into the company’s long-term business strategy. NXP's Board of Directors has ultimate oversight responsibility for sustainability matters. The full Board focuses on significant sustainability matters, with Board Committees undertaking oversight of sustainability issues relevant to their responsibilities. NXP has had third-party consultants with sustainability expertise present to the Board of Directors to help the Board make business decisions that best align with sustainable development.
Sustainability Program oversight is delegated to the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, which oversees integration of a broad set of sustainability considerations into business functions. Specific aspects of sustainability oversight are delegated to the Audit and Human Resources Compensation Committees for sustainability matters within their core areas of expertise.
•Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee – Oversight of policies and practices relating to significant sustainability issues Oversee policies and practices related to sustainability initiatives
◦Review sustainability initiatives and goals including progress toward achieving those goals
1 NXP’s approach is to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035 by prioritizing the implementation of technically and socio-economically feasible solutions. We intend to offset any remaining Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This carbon neutrality goal is not aligned with SBTi.
2 We aim to achieve our renewable electricity goal through the use of unbundled renewable energy certificates, power purchase agreements and, in select cases, self-generation. This goal is not aligned with SBTi.

SUSTAINABILITY
Environment
As an environmentally responsible manufacturer committed to continuous improvement, we focus on optimizing natural-resource usage, minimizing environmental emissions, enhancing operational efficiency and promoting workplace health and safety. In accordance with criteria from the International Organization of Standardization (ISO), our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) management system is certified to both ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 at all our manufacturing sites as well as our headquarters.
Emissions
We measure our carbon footprint in accordance with the GHG Protocol, a set of internationally recognized standards for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions. Our reporting encompasses all three of the protocols' defined categories: Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions, owned) and Scope 3 (upstream and downstream emissions across the value chain).
Our manufacturing sites generate Scope 1 (direct) emissions, including perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and heat-transfer fluids (HTFs), and Scope 2 (indirect) emissions, primarily from purchased electricity. While these inputs are essential to semiconductor manufacturing and currently cannot be fully eliminated, we have established reduction targets for both Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
In 2024, we reached a significant milestone by completing the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validation process. This validation reflects our commitment to climate action. Our validated targets include:
•55% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 (2021 baseline) - aligned with a 1.5°C pathway
•35% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2033 (2022 baseline) - aligned with a well-below 2°C pathway
Due to a combination of factors, including increased purchases of renewable electricity, lower factory utilization and targeted emission-reduction projects, our absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased 20% compared to 2023.

SUSTAINABILITY
Energy
Primary sources of energy for our manufacturing, testing and office sites come from the electrical grid. We purchase renewable electricity when available and continue to purchase electricity from fossil-fuel sources in jurisdictions where reliable and abundant alternative energy sources are not available. Additionally, we completed on-site renewable electricity installations at a few select manufacturing locations to supplement the higher carbon-content energy we purchase.
Electricity
We produce increasingly complex devices that involve many more processing steps, requiring greater electricity consumption. Our ongoing efforts to conserve electricity and optimize our manufacturing processes have helped us use electricity more efficiently.
Water Efficiency
Since drastically reducing the amount of water used within our manufacturing processes is not currently feasible, we anticipate that our demand for water will increase in line with our increases in production. To reduce the amount of incoming water we consume, we focus on a mid-term goal of increasing our water recycling rate to 60% by 2027.
In 2024, our absolute water withdrawal decreased by 2% compared to 2023. Semiconductor wafer fabrication represents 66% of our total manufacturing water withdrawal, while assembly and test represent 34%. We recycled 55% of our water and have created a task force to identify opportunities for water recycling.
Waste
We continue to evolve our approach to the sourcing, consumption and disposal of materials critical to the manufacturing and testing of our products. We have set a mid-term goal of recycling 90% of our waste by keeping products and materials in use via reuse, resale, repurposing and recycling.
In 2024, we recycled 89% of our total waste (hazardous and non-hazardous), an increase of 3 percentage points compared to 2023. Our recycling rate includes waste-to-energy activities, which involves the conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into usable heat, electricity or fuel through incineration.

To assess and improve engagement, we consistently invite team members to share their feedback through the Winning Culture Survey, which covers various factors such as engagement, ethics and inclusion.
Results have remained high year over year. Ethics remains a key strength, and sentiments around sustainability improved. The majority of the survey items ranked above the seventy-fifth percentile benchmark for the technology sector. Opportunity areas from the results include bolstering confidence in the future, improving communication and addressing barriers in work processes. As we make improvements in these areas and become more transparent, we can build stronger, higher performing teams, thereby strengthening our culture of accountability and performance.

Compensation and Benefits
NXP’s competitive compensation and benefits programs are designed to attract and retain the best talent as well as drive and reward high performance and meaningful contribution across all areas of our workforce.
Compensation
NXP provides team members with a merit-based total rewards packages, including base salary, short-term incentives and equity-based long-term incentives.
Rewarding performance is a critical element of our overall program. NXP is committed to managing all reward-based compensation programs, including annual salary reviews, Annual Incentive Program (AIP) payouts, Sales Incentive Program (SIP) payments and long-term incentive awards, to deliver on our pay-for-performance philosophy. Since 2022, we have linked a portion of our executive and team member compensation to our sustainability goals.
NXP has policies and procedures in place to evaluate pay equity. We perform pay equity reviews twice a year, alongside NXP's rewards processes, to ensure we deliver pay decisions with an appropriate focus on fairness. We developed this proactive process to evaluate each compensation program in real time, to provide leaders with feedback to create more visibility into fair and equitable compensation while decisions are being made.
We also analyze potential compensation recommendations or changes within functional areas and departments in order make appropriate adjustments and promote pay equity. The summarized results of this analysis are presented to our CEO and Chief People Officer, reflecting our commitment to making compensation-related decisions based only on performance, tenure and skill-related factors
We believe that pay decisions should be made based on four factors: 1) external considerations (i.e., market conditions), 2) team-member performance/contributions, 3) specific knowledge and skills and 4) internal equity. NXP utilizes third-party data to formulate compensation and benefits programs that are fair, equitable and competitive. We then empower leaders to recognize both individual and team accomplishments through a variety of compensation programs. Each year, we conduct a formal assessment of the individual's specific achievements and the demonstrated behaviors – consistent with our values – to deliver those achievements through our Enabling Performance process.
Benefits
NXP is committed to providing a comprehensive benefits package that includes various offerings that support the overall health and well-being of our team members.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO DISCHARGE THE MEMBER OF THE BOARD FOR THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024.
ITEM 3: RE-APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS
The Company has a one-tier board structure, consisting of one or more executive directors and non-executive directors. The Board currently consists of ten directors, one executive director and nine non-executive directors. The number of executive and non-executive directors is determined by the Board.
Kurt Sievers is standing for re-election but has announced he will be retiring as executive and CEO director effective October 28, 2025. The Board has appointed Rafael Sotomayor to succeed Mr. Sievers as President, effective April 28, 2025 and designated Mr. Sotomayor as CEO and temporary executive director of the Company in accordance with article 18.7 of our Articles of Association as of the retirement of Mr. Sievers on October 28, 2025. The Board intends to nominate Mr. Sotomayor for appointment by the general meeting of NXP as executive director and member of the Board with effect from the date of the annual general meeting of NXP to be held in 2026.
If each nominated director discussed below is appointed at the AGM, the Board will consist of ten directors, and upon the retirement of Mr. Sievers on October 28, 2025, the Board will consist of nine non-executive directors with Mr. Sotomayor serving as a temporary executive director of the Company as per that date.
Under our Articles of Association and Dutch corporate law, the directors are collectively responsible for the management, general and financial affairs and policy and strategy of our Company. Our executive director (who serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company and for the preparation and execution of Board resolutions, to the extent these tasks are not delegated to a committee of the Board. Our Chief Executive Officer or all directors acting jointly may represent the Company with third parties.
Consistent with our Articles of Association and Dutch law, the executive director and non-executive directors are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders upon a binding nomination by the Board. The Board has nominated the ten directors listed below for re-appointment to serve until their term expires at the end of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, until their appointment is terminated in accordance with the Articles of Association or until their earlier retirement or resignation. The binding nominations by the Board are made in accordance with Section 14.4 of the Articles of Association. The shareholders at an annual general meeting may at all times overrule the
14

ITEM 3: (RE-)APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS
binding nature of such a nomination by a resolution adopted by at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, provided such majority represents more than half of our issued and outstanding share capital. If the nomination is not overruled, the nominated member of the Board shall be appointed. If the nomination is overruled, the Board may then make a new nomination. If a nomination has not been made or has not been made in due time, this shall be stated in the notice and the general meeting of shareholders shall be free to appoint a member of the Board at its discretion. The latter resolution of the general meeting of shareholders must also be adopted by at least two-thirds majority of the votes cast, provided such majority represents more than half of our issued share capital.
Our directors are appointed for one year and will be, if nominated by the Board, re-electable each year at a general meeting of shareholders. Our directors may be suspended or dismissed at any time by the general meeting of shareholders. A resolution to suspend or dismiss a director must be adopted by at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, provided such majority represents more than half of our issued share capital unless the proposal to suspend or dismiss a director is made by the Board, in which case resolutions shall be adopted by a simple majority of votes cast. An executive director can also be suspended by the Board.
If appointed, each director’s term begins at the annual general meeting at which he or she is appointed and, unless such director resigns or is dismissed at an earlier date, his or her term of office ends immediately after the next annual general meeting held after his or her appointment.
The Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee have carefully considered the experience, structure, culture, operation, interactions, collaboration and performance of the current Board; the talents, expertise and contributions of individual directors; the growth and creation of shareholder and other stakeholder value under the Board’s leadership; the continued evolution of the Company; the Board’s critical role in continuing to develop and lead the strategic direction of the Company; the continued change and consolidation in the semiconductor industry; anticipated future challenges and opportunities facing the Company; and the Board’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Company to the benefit of shareholders and other stakeholders.
The Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee also believe that, at the current time, fostering continuity on the Board by nominating ten current directors for re-appointment is instrumental to the ongoing execution of our mission and strategy as well as the delivery of sustainable long-term value to shareholders while also serving the interests of our other stakeholders. Based on these considerations, among others, NXP’s Board recommends a vote “FOR” the appointment of each director. The persons named as proxies intend to vote the proxies for the election of these nominees to the Board.
Each of the proposed appointments is considered a separate voting item under Dutch law. Information concerning each of the ten nominated directors is set forth below. All nominees have consented to act as directors if appointed at the AGM. This Item 3 comprises the “explanatory notes” to the agenda of the Annual General Meeting as referred to in Section 25.5 of the Articles of Association.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, the Board has unanimously adopted resolutions to nominate the persons set forth below for director. Our nominees for director, their ages, principal occupations or positions, experience and the year first elected as a director, are described below. None of the nominees are related by blood, marriage or adoption to each other or to any other director or to any executive officer of NXP or its subsidiaries. Except for Mr. Kurt Sievers, who is currently executive director and chief executive officer, no nominee for director has been an employee of the Company within the past five years.

The current executive director, Mr. Sievers, as our chief executive officer, is not an independent director under the above standards. If each nominated director is appointed at the AGM, the full Board (including non-executive directors and our executive director) will consist of 90% independent directors.
As of June 11, 2025, our non-executive director nominees who are nominated for re-appointment will have an average tenure of 5.8 years, and four of our non-executive independent nominees have been members of the Board for five years or less.
HOW OUR BOARD GOVERNS AND IS GOVERNED
Rules Governing the Board
The Board has adopted written Rules Governing the Board (the “Rules of Procedure”) governing its performance, its decision making, its composition, the tasks and working procedures of the committees and other matters relating to the Board, the chief executive officer, the non-executive directors and the committees established by the Board. In accordance with our Rules of Procedure, resolutions of our Board will be adopted by a simple majority of votes cast in a meeting at which at least the majority of its members is present or represented. Each director has the right to cast one vote. In a tie vote, the proposal will be rejected.
In addition to the Rules of Procedure, the Board has adopted charters of its committees, to which the plenary Board, while retaining overall responsibility, has assigned certain tasks: the Audit Committee, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. Each committee reports to the plenary Board. The Articles of Association, Rules of Procedure and the committee charters are posted on our Investor Relations website at http://investors.nxp.com under the “Corporate Governance” section. Copies of our corporate governance materials are also available to shareholders who request them. Requests must be in writing and sent to: NXP Semiconductors N.V., High Tech Campus 60, 5656 AG, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Attention: Secretary.
The Board is assisted by the Secretary. The Secretary sees to it that correct procedures are followed and that the Board acts in accordance with its statutory obligations and its obligations under the Articles of Association. Furthermore, the Secretary assists the Chair of the Board (the “Chair”) in the functioning of Board business (information, agenda, evaluation, introductory program). The Secretary, in this capacity, is appointed and dismissed
22

HOW OUR BOARD GOVERNS AND IS GOVERNED
by the Board. Shareholders or other interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board, including the Chair and the non-executive directors individually or as a group, may send correspondence in care of the Secretary at NXP’s principal offices at High Tech Campus 60, 5656 AG, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Our Secretary will receive all communications sent to this address, and will provide all substantive communications to the Chair, excluding simple administrative requests that are appropriately addressed by the Secretary.
Our non-executive directors oversee the general affairs of the Company and supervise and provide general advice to the executive director. Furthermore, the non-executive directors perform such acts that are delegated to them pursuant to our Articles of Association or by our Rules of Procedure.
Under the Rules of Procedure, Board members must comply with any provisions on the maximum number of directorships and board memberships as decided by the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee. Currently, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee has determined that members of the Board shall have no more than four board memberships in public companies in addition to service on the Board of NXP, and not more than two of such board memberships if they are an executive officer.
Each director owes a duty to us to properly perform the duties assigned to him or her and to act in the corporate interest of our Company. Under Dutch law, the corporate interest extends to the interests of all corporate stakeholders, such as shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and suppliers.
Board Leadership and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Chair works closely with our chief executive officer to set the agenda for Board meetings and to facilitate information flow between the Board and management. Ms. Julie Southern currently serves as the Chair. The Chair presides at the Board meetings, as well as regularly scheduled executive sessions of the non-executive directors.
Our independent directors regularly meet in executive session without executive directors or management present. Additionally, the Board and each committee have the power to hire, at the expense of the Company, independent legal, financial or other advisors as they may deem necessary, without consulting or obtaining the approval of any officer of the Company in advance.
The Board believes that its current structure continues to provide robust and highly effective oversight based on, among other factors:

•The nine non-executive directors nominated for re-appointment are independent; the sole board member who is not independent is the executive director (the CEO); •Robust corporate governance principles, which are reviewed annually; •A Chair that provides strategic leadership for the Company, consistent with Dutch law and the Company’s organizational documents—a role that the Board believes remains critically important as our industry continues to experience significant change and disruption at a rapid rate; •The Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, and Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committees all are composed entirely of independent directors (as defined in the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and within the meaning of the DCGC); •Approval of any appointment of members to the Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, and Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committees must include at least a majority of the independent directors; •All Board committees operate pursuant to written charters and conduct annual self-assessments; •The independent directors of the Board and its committees receive extensive information and input from multiple layers of management and external advisors, engage in detailed discussion and analysis regarding matters brought before them (including in executive session) and consistently and actively engage in the development and approval of significant corporate strategies; •The Board and its committees have unrestricted access to management; •The Board and its committees can retain, at Company expense, any advisors they deem necessary with respect to any matter brought before them; and •In 2024, the Board held four executive sessions of independent non-executive members, and its committees collectively held 20 sessions.

This has substantially impacted the long-term value creation strategy as referred to in best practice provision 1.1.1 of the DCGC as further outlined in the Sustainability section and in the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility Report. In addition to quarterly updates on the business
26

HOW OUR BOARD GOVERNS AND IS GOVERNED
performance and detailed presentations by the various business managers, the Board reviewed and discussed the mid- to long-term strategy of the Company in its November meeting.
The Board is committed to maintaining a dialogue with shareholders to ensure that they understand our differentiated strategy and business model and have an opportunity to discuss and engage on a broad range of topics, including our strategy. The Board will also review the implementation of our strategy at our annual general meeting of shareholders, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss our annual Dutch management board report and the accompanying financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”). We also regularly discuss our strategy in shareholder engagement sessions.
Risk Oversight
Our management is directly responsible for executing the Company’s risk management processes. Our Board is responsible for overseeing these risk management processes. In exercising its oversight, the Board and, as appropriate, the relevant Board committees, assesses the material risks facing the Company and evaluate management’s plans for managing material risk exposures. The Company conducts a formal annual risk assessment to identify, analyze and report on enterprise risks. The results of this risk assessment are reported to and discussed with the Board.
Our Board performs this oversight function through periodic reports from management and Board committees. While our Board generally has ultimate oversight responsibility of the Company’s risk management processes, it has delegated to its committees the responsibility to oversee risk management processes associated with their respective areas of responsibility and expertise. For example, the Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for the Company’s internal audit function, compliance with the Code of Conduct, internal controls and financial reporting practices, information technology and cybersecurity risks, litigation, and compliance processes. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee has oversight responsibility for the Company’s executive talent management and succession planning, and risks related to the Company’s compensation policies and practices, as described in more detail in the Compensation Practices and Risk section of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee has oversight responsibility for the Company’s compliance with its corporate governance principles, CEO succession planning, policies and practices relating to initiatives and reporting on environmental, social and governance and proposes recommendations to the Board for updates to risk oversight responsibilities of the committees and the Board. The Board receives regular reports from each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions. The Board also receives regular updates from management on the Company’s business operations, financial results and strategy and, as appropriate, discusses and provides feedback with respect to risks related to these topics. Annually, the Board holds strategic planning sessions with senior management to discuss strategies, key challenges, and risks and opportunities for our business.
NXP, similar to other semiconductor companies, operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many risks. In addition to general market, research and development, and economic risks, the Company faces potential risks related to its industry; information technology and cybersecurity; data privacy; financial controls and reporting; legal, regulatory and compliance; finances and taxation; global operations; environment and social responsibility; and product portfolio and commercialization, among others. As a company committed to operating ethically and with integrity, we proactively seek to manage and, where possible, mitigate risks to help ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations, maintain integrity and continuity in our operations and business and protect our assets. Risk management is an enterprise-wide objective subject to oversight by the Board and its committees.
It is the responsibility of management and employees to implement and administer risk-management processes to identify material risks to our business. In addition, management must assess, manage and monitor those risks, all while maintaining flexibility in how we operate. To further embed risk management and compliance into our culture, we implement relevant policies and procedures and train employees on the specifics of such policies and procedures. All of our committees have regular access to management and the Board and committees also schedule sessions without members of management present
The purpose of our enterprise risk management ("ERM") is to timely identify, evaluation, prioritize, respond to, and manage material business risks impacting NXP Semiconductors’ strategic objectives.
The objectives of ERM are to:
•Identify our key risks in a timely manner, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors.
•Mitigate risk and keep risk impact at acceptable levels, particularly those risks that could result in a strategic impact event.
•Ensure there is an effective risk-management framework in place which covers our key risks and is supported by risk-monitoring mechanisms.
27

HOW OUR BOARD GOVERNS AND IS GOVERNED
•Prioritize and align risk-management efforts, to use resources effectively.
•Ensure risk-management governance, including quarterly monitoring, reporting and evaluation.
Key ERM activities include:
•Assessment (identification and evaluation of risks)
•Response (building capabilities, mitigation)
•Management Assurance (effective management methods, clear accountabilities)
•Monitoring (audit, inquire, verify)
•Communication (internally and externally)
•Periodically evaluate effectiveness method
The procedures plan for reasonable coverage of the potential risks. Despite the thoroughness of the process, unforeseen events that impact the strategy may happen.
Risk Management Governance
The Board of Directors oversees NXP’s processes and procedures related to risk assessment and risk management, reviews NXP top identified risks and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee makes proposals to the Board on oversight.
Our management team oversees, identifies and manages the top risks NXP faces in executing its strategy, defines the risk appetite and manages risks consistently with the risk appetite. The ERM function enables management to make risk management more efficient and effective by providing and maintaining a risk management framework, a risk monitoring mechanism and facilitation of the execution of the ERM process to mitigate the risks to levels consistent with the risk appetite of NXP. We believe that our risk appetite is consistent with our peers in the semiconductor industry and a reflection of the risk in the semiconductor industry. This risk appetite varies for the different identified risks and therefore the level of mitigation can be different. For mitigation of the operational, financial disclosure and compliance risk we merely rely on our framework of business controls, processes, authorizations and “tone at the top.” For more strategic risks a more top-down approach to mitigating the risks is applied.
A risk owner performs an assessment and prioritizes the most likely and impactful risk elements and takes appropriate measures to mitigate the risk within the given appetite. The Internal Audit function, as part of annual audit plan approved by the Audit Committee, provides assurance of effectiveness of NXP’s risk management. A structured risk management process is put in place to identify and manage the most crucial risks for NXP, taking into account both internal and external information sources. The ERM process consists of the following elements:
•Yearly interviews with all NXP MT members, starting from the strategy and seeking their insight in the most important risks for NXP
•Assessment of a consolidated risk list on both likelihood and impact by different layers in the organization
•Based on likelihood and impact, the top risk list is (re-)confirmed by the MT and reported to the Board of Directors
•Risk owners drive required mitigation actions to ensure the risk meets the risk specific appetite
•Corrective actions are taken where necessary as a result of evaluation of the controls by internal audit and/or self-assessments
•Effectiveness of the controls are measured by specified risk indicators, updated on at least a quarterly basis
•Risk status and controls in place are discussed each quarter in Board or the selected board committee
•At least once per year, the risk process is reviewed with the Board of Directors and improved where needed.
Information Technology Risks
The Company’s Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for reviewing the effectiveness of NXP’s governance and management of information technology risks, including those relating to business continuity, cybersecurity, malware, regulatory compliance and data management. NXP senior leadership regularly briefs the Audit Committee on information security matters and briefs the full Board on information security matters at least annually or as needed. NXP is certified and externally audited to ISO 27001 with certain additional certifications such as Common Criteria 6+, PCI DSS and GSMA Security for focused functions. We have multiple cybersecurity training initiatives as part of our information security training and compliance program. We regularly deploy simulated attacks and related trainings. We deliver a Cyber Security orientation to new employees and maintain a library of cyber security learning sessions available to our employees. Where appropriate, we use external service providers to assess, evaluate, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and processes.
28

HOW OUR BOARD GOVERNS AND IS GOVERNED
NXP uses a multi-layer approach to identify and mitigate information security risks. On a tactical level, NXP maintains a 24x7x365 Security Operating Center (SOC) that actively monitors for and identifies cyber security threats and initiates appropriate mitigation processes. The SOC reports to the Chief Information Security Officer, who can in case of an incident establish a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). When needed, a task force containing Security, IT, Communications, Legal and Business representatives is established. This task force leads mitigation activities where the potential threat or risk is elevated. In addition to SOC the NXP IT Service Desk and NXP employees are trained to identify Cyber Security issues and to escalate them to correct owners. On a strategic level, NXP’s information technology risk management program is a component of the ERM process described above. NXP’s chief information security officer manages the information security risks identified in the ERM process, performing an initial risk assessment, prioritizing the most likely and impactful risk elements and recommending appropriate measures to mitigate the risk.
The Board, in turn, directly or through its committees, oversees management’s implementation of risk management. We have approved a robust Code of Conduct and other related policies, and the Board and its committees rigorously review with management actual and potential significant risks at least on a quarterly basis.
Board Education
Individual members of the Board participate in director education seminars, conferences and other director education programs presented by external and internal resources, on matters that relate to, among other topics, compensation, sustainability, governance, board processes, risk oversight, business, industry, audit and accounting, credit and financial, regulatory, digitalization and other current issues.
HOW OUR DIRECTORS ARE SELECTED AND EVALUATED
Consideration of Director Nominees
For purposes of identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the following general criteria, among others, in nominating director candidates. These criteria reflect the traits, abilities and experience that the Board looks for in determining candidates for election:
•Directors shall have relevant expertise and experience and be able to offer advice and guidance to the CEO based on that expertise and experience;
•Directors shall have the ability to exercise sound business judgment;
•Directors shall represent different viewpoints; the personal backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide the Company with a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities; and
•Unless otherwise approved by the Board, directors shall not be a member of the board of directors or an officer or employee of a competitor (or an affiliate of a competitor) of the Company.
In addition to the criteria set forth above, and any others the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee or the Board may consider, a majority of the Board’s members must be “independent,” as that term may be defined from time to time by the applicable Nasdaq listing standards, the Rules of Procedure, as well as best practice provision 2.1.8 of the DCGC, including that an independent director must be free of any relationships which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
As needed, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee may identify new potential director nominees by, among other means, requesting current directors and executive officers and external advisors to notify it if they become aware of persons meeting the criteria described above who would be suitable candidates for service on the Board. The committee also may, as needed, engage one or more firms that specialize in identifying director candidates.
As appropriate, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will review publicly available information regarding a potential candidate, request information from the candidate, review the candidate’s experience and qualifications, including in light of any other candidates the committee might be considering, and conduct, together with other members of the Board, one or more interviews with the candidate. Committee members or their designees also may contact one or more references provided by the candidate or may contact other members of the business community or persons who may have first-hand knowledge of the candidate’s talents and experience.
29

HOW OUR DIRECTORS ARE SELECTED AND EVALUATED
Skills and Experience
The Board is committed to supporting, valuing and leveraging a broad range of perspectives, backgrounds, skills and experience among other qualities that the Board believes serve the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders. As part of these efforts, the Board, while taking into account the overall profile and selection criteria for appointments of suitable candidates, has proposed a slate of nominees that reflects a mix of experience, knowledge and abilities and is in line with Dutch corporate governance guidelines on gender diversity.
Board Refreshment
The Board, with the support of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, maintains an orderly, robust process for Board refreshment and succession that is aimed at maintaining an appropriate balance with respect to the expertise, experience and perspectives on the Board. The Board and its Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee regularly evaluates Board and committee composition with respect to, among other matters, director independence, skills, experience, expertise and other factors to ensure the Board remains well-qualified to provide effective oversight of the Company and management. The Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee regularly consider the Company’s strategy, performance, operations, relevant industry and market conditions, and current and anticipated needs in terms of particular areas of experience and expertise (e.g., risk oversight, industry, science), among many other factors, to inform these refreshment practices. In 2023, the Board appointed Ms. Julie Southern as the new Chair of the Board upon the retirement of our former Chair, Sir Peter Bonfield.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Under the Rules of Procedure, a conflict of interest must be reported to the Board and the Board shall determine the consequences of such conflict, if any. In case of a conflict of interest, the director concerned is not allowed to participate in discussions or vote on such matter. If all directors have a conflict of interest, the resolution concerned will be voted on by shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders.
Other than the compensation items described below, no decisions to enter into material transactions in which there were conflicts of interest with directors occurred during the financial year 2024.
HOW OUR DIRECTORS ARE COMPENSATED
Non-Employee Director Compensation for 2024
The Human Resources and Compensation Committee has responsibility for reviewing and considering any revisions to compensation for non-executive directors. Annually the Committee reviews peer group benchmark data using the Peer Group described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis as well as relevant additional market perspectives provided by the independent executive compensation consult. This information is used to inform the amount of cash and equity compensation and overall total compensation package of the non-executive directors to support the Board’s ability to attract and retain talented non-executive directors. The Board reviews the Human Resources and Compensation Committee’s recommendations and makes the final recommendation to the general meeting of shareholders regarding compensation for non-executive directors. It is our policy to reimburse all directors for reasonable expenses incurred in performing their duties as a director.
Cash Compensation
The Chair of the Board receives an annual fixed fee of €275,000 for serving as non-executive director and Chair of the Board. Effective May 29, 2024, per our shareholders' approval, non-executive directors, other than the Chair, receive an annual fixed fee of $100,000. Prior to May 29, 2024, non-executive directors, other than the Chair, received an annual fixed fee of $85,000. Members of the Audit Committee, Human Resources and Compensation Committee and Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee receive an additional annual fixed fee of $15,000 and effective May 29, 2024 the Chairs of each of these committees receive the following additional annual fixed fee: $15,000 for the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee Chair; $20,000 for the Human Resources and Compensation Committee Chair and $25,000 for the Audit Committee Chair. Prior to May 29, 2024, the Chairs of each of these committees received an additional annual fixed fee of $15,000.
30

HOW OUR DIRECTORS ARE COMPENSATED
Equity Compensation
In 2024, each director received an annual restricted share unit award with a grant value of $225,000. The awards were granted on the date of the 2024 annual general meeting, and the restricted share units fully vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Unvested portions of their equity award are forfeited upon the termination of a director’s service on the Board, except in the case of termination of service upon death or at the request of the Board, in which case the unvested portion is fully accelerated.
Share Ownership Guidelines
Members of our Board are subject to share ownership guidelines. Subject to a five-year compliance window, non-executive directors must retain shares of the Company received through annual equity grants until they own shares (or have the right to receive shares through unvested restricted share unit awards) that are valued at no less than five times the annual cash fixed fee paid to the director. Our executive director and President/CEO is subject to the share ownership guidelines described in Agenda Item 9.

ITEM 4: AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO ISSUE ORDINARY SHARES AND GRANT RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE ORDINARY SHARES
The Board considers it in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders for the Board to be able to react in a timely manner when strategic business opportunities arise that require the issuance of ordinary shares.
At the 2024 AGM, the shareholders authorized the Board to issue ordinary shares and to grant rights to acquire ordinary shares equal to 10% of the issued share capital for a period of 18 months, effective from May 29, 2024 until November 29, 2025, and to exclude pre-emptive rights in connection with such issue or grant of rights. It is proposed to renew the authorization to issue ordinary shares and to grant rights to acquire ordinary shares for a new period of 18 months, effective from June 11, 2025 until December 11, 2026, and up to 10% of the issued share capital as of April 15, 2025. The Company’s issued share capital as of April 15, 2024 was 274,519.638 ordinary shares.
Although we presently do not have specific plans to issue ordinary shares for any purpose, the Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interest of our shareholders to provide this general authorization in order to avoid the delay and expense of obtaining shareholder approval at a later date, and to provide us with greater flexibility to pursue financing opportunities, such as the issuance of convertible notes, or acquisitions when market conditions are favorable.
The issuance of a large number of ordinary shares could be dilutive to existing shareholders or reduce the trading price of our shares on Nasdaq. Therefore, in accordance with standard Dutch practice, it is proposed to grant the Board the authorization to issue ordinary shares and grant rights to acquire ordinary shares up to 10% of the issued share capital as per April 15, 2025 and for a period of 18 months, effective from June 11, 2025 until December 11, 2026, within the limits provided in the Articles of Association, which authorization can be used for general purposes. If this proposal is approved the prior authorization (from the 2024 AGM) will immediately lapse.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD TO ISSUE ORDINARY SHARES AND GRANT RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE ORDINARY SHARES.
ITEM 5: AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO RESTRICT
OR EXCLUDE PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS ACCRUING IN CONNECTION WITH AN ISSUE OF SHARES OR GRANT
OF RIGHTS
To the extent that the Board issues ordinary shares or grants rights to acquire ordinary shares under the authorization as set out in Item 4, it is proposed to authorize the Board for a period of 18 months, effective from June 11, 2025 until December 11, 2026, to restrict or exclude pre-emptive rights accruing in connection with such issuance or grant. If this proposal is approved the prior authorization (from the 2024 AGM) will lapse.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD TO RESTRICT OR EXCLUDE PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS ACCRUING IN CONNECTION WITH AN ISSUE OF SHARES OR GRANT OF RIGHTS.
32

ITEM 6: AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO REPURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY
At the 2024 AGM, shareholders authorized the Board to acquire ordinary shares in the Company’s capital for a period of 18 months. It is proposed to renew this authorization for a period of 18 months from the Annual General Meeting, as set out below. If this proposal is approved the prior authorization (from the 2024 AGM) will lapse.
The purpose of this Item is to create flexibility to return capital to the shareholders and to cover obligations of the Company to deliver ordinary shares. In addition to being a means to return value to shareholders, repurchases of shares of the Company’s own share capital could be used by the Board to demonstrate a commitment to the Company’s business and confidence in the long-term growth of NXP, provide increased liquidity for investors and cover obligations under the Company’s share-based compensation plans. Since 2017, the Company has returned $20 billion to shareholders through previously announced share repurchases and dividend payments, reducing our diluted share count by approximately 21 percent, or 70 million shares.
The number of ordinary shares to be repurchased, if any, and the timing and manner of any repurchases will be determined after taking into consideration, amongst other things, prevailing market conditions and available resources. Under Dutch law, the number of shares held by the Company and its subsidiaries may not exceed 50% of the issued share capital.
As of April 15, 2025 the Company holds 21,717,835 treasury shares or 7.9 percent of the issued share capital. The Board considers it desirable to create the flexibility to continue with share repurchases. As such, it is proposed to the shareholders to authorize the Board for a period of 18 months, with effect from the Annual General Meeting, to repurchase ordinary shares up to 10% of the issued share capital as per the date of the Annual General Meeting. Shares may only be repurchased pursuant to this authorization so long as the total number of shares held by the Company in treasury does not exceed 20% of the Company’s issued share capital. The repurchases may take place on the open market, through privately negotiated repurchases, in self-tender offers, through accelerated repurchase arrangements and other repurchase arrangements.
Such repurchases may be made at prices ranging between €0.01 and a price equal to 110% of the market price of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq. The market price is defined as the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq ("VWAP") during a period of at least one trading day (as determined by the Board) within five trading days prior to the date of the acquisition, provided that for acquisitions through self-tender offers and accelerated repurchase arrangements the market price shall be the VWAP for the ordinary shares during a period as determined by the Board, which shall be at least one trading day.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD TO REPURCHASE THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES.
ITEM 7: AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO CANCEL THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES HELD OR TO BE ACQUIRED
It is proposed to authorize the Board to cancel any or all ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company held or repurchased by the Company resulting in a reduction of the Company’s issued ordinary shares. The cancellation may be executed in one or more tranches. The number of ordinary shares that will be cancelled (whether or not in a tranche) will be determined by the Board, with a maximum equal to the number of ordinary shares held or repurchased by the Company in its issued share capital.
Pursuant to Dutch law, cancellation may not be effected earlier than two months after the resolution to cancel ordinary shares is adopted and publicly announced; this will apply for each tranche. The purpose of this proposal is to authorize the cancellation of ordinary shares held by the Company or that have been acquired in accordance with Item 6, to the extent that such ordinary shares shall not be used to cover obligations under share-based remuneration or other obligations.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD TO CANCEL THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES HELD OR TO BE ACQUIRED.

ITEM 8: RE-APPOINTMENT OF EY ACCOUNTANTS B.V. AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Company's current independent auditor, EY Accountants B.V. (the legal successor of Ernst & Young Accountants LLP) (“EY”), was appointed for a period of one year at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting (for the audit of the fiscal year 2024). The mandate therefore expired after the audit of the 2024 fiscal year.
The Board, as advised and recommended by the Audit Committee, after having assessed the functioning of and relationship with EY, proposes that EY stand for re-appointment as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 pursuant to article 32 of the Company's Articles of Association.
Representatives of EY will participate in the 2025 AGM, will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders and may make a statement if they desire to do so.
The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by EY to NXP were $5.9 million for 2024 and $6.7 million for 2023.
Auditors’ Fees
The following table summarizes the fees for professional audit services provided by EY for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 as well as the fees billed for other services rendered by EY during these periods.

ITEM 8: RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies
The Audit Committee has adopted rules for the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services to be provided by the external auditor.
Proposed services may be pre-approved at the beginning of the year by the Audit Committee (annual pre-approval) or maybe pre-approved during the year in respect of a particular engagement (specific pre-approval). The pre-approval is based on a detailed, itemized list of services to be provided, designed to ensure that there is no management discretion in determining whether a service has been approved and to ensure the Audit Committee is informed of each service it is pre-approving. Unless covered by the pre-approved services, each proposed service requires specific pre-approval during the year. Any pre-approved services where the fee for the engagement is expected to exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. During 2024, there were no services provided to the Company by the external auditors which were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
In 2024, the external auditor attended all formal meetings of the Audit Committee. The risk analysis, the audit approach and the findings of the external auditor are also discussed at these meetings. The external auditor also refers in its reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board to the financial reporting risks and issues that were identified during the audit, internal control matters, and any other matters, as appropriate, requiring communication under the auditing standards generally accepted in The Netherlands and the United States.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPOINTMENT OF EY ACCOUNTANTS B.V. AS NXP’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.
ITEM 9: NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
We are providing the following non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as required under Section 14A of the Exchange Act. We are requesting our shareholders to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis (“CD&A”), related compensation disclosure tables and narrative disclosures of this proxy statement.
For the reasons more fully discussed in the CD&A, the Board unanimously recommends a vote “For” the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the accompanying compensation tables and related narrative disclosure in this proxy statement.”
You may vote “For” or “Against” this proposal, or you may abstain from voting. Although the vote on this Item 10 is advisory and non-binding, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the Board will review the voting results on the proposal and will consider shareholder views in connection with our executive compensation program. For shareholders to adopt the non-binding resolution approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, a majority of the votes cast must vote “For” this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be entirely excluded from the vote and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. The Board has determined that the current frequency of our “say-on-pay” advisory vote shall be annually, and the next “say-on-pay” advisory vote will be held at our 2026 AGM.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION.

The NEOs, under the leadership of our Executive Director, President and Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and the other members of the Board, are held accountable for delivering results, while simultaneously creating a culture of innovation and growth.
This CD&A explains our strategy in incentivizing, compensating and rewarding our NEOs. We are providing an overview of the philosophies, principles, and practices that we employ, as governed by the Board of Directors of NXP (the “Board”). The compensation of our CEO is determined by the HRCC under a delegation from the Board in accordance with the principles set forth in the remuneration policy for executive and non-executive directors previously approved by our general meeting of shareholders, as required under Dutch corporate law.

2024—Strong Execution Despite Challenging Market “NXP delivered resilient results throughout 2024, reflecting solid execution, consistent gross margin, and healthy free cash flow generation despite a challenging market environment. We rigorously focused on managing what was in our control, to navigate a soft landing while executing our growth strategy.” Kurt Sievers, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer

2024 Financial and Operational Context
NXP delivered good results in 2024 despite a challenging semiconductor market environment that persisted throughout the year.

Manufacturing Capacity for Future Growth
In 2024, we announced a series of investments addressing long-term manufacturing capacity expansion. Our hybrid approach to manufacturing leverages geographical diversity to allow for cost competitiveness and supply assurance. This past year, we announced the formation of a new joint venture (JV) between NXP and Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation (VIS) in Singapore. The 300mm wafer manufacturing JV, VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Pte Ltd (VSMC), broke ground in the second half of 2024, with initial production slated to begin in 2027. The JV will operate as an independent, commercial foundry supplier and complement our participation in the TSMC-led joint venture in Dresden, Germany.
The European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) was announced in 2023 and broke ground in August 2024. When fully operational, ESMC is expected to have a monthly production capacity of 40,000 300mm wafers.
In addition to VSMC and ESMC, NXP also announced the expansion of its factory in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which will provide further manufacturing flexibility and geographic resiliency.
Investing in Our People
We are committed to our purpose to bring together bright minds to create breakthrough technologies that make the connected world better, safer and more secure. In delivering this purpose and living our values we:
•Maintained our consistent investment in R&D, especially focused on growing and retaining critical R&D talent to continue delivering innovation enabling profitable growth.
•Enabled collaboration and knowledge-sharing across our global teams through various initiatives including the Innovation World Tour, showcasing the breakthrough innovations happening at different global sites and the bright minds behind them
•Continued to drive programming centered around retention for strategic roles and top-performing talent to ensure continuity, recognizing that a loss of our key management and other team members, or an inability to attract qualified new team members, could negatively impact the long-term growth of our business in a highly competitive environment. In 2024, our voluntary attrition rate was 5.5%, a year over year reduction from 6.5% in 2023
•Drove further progress toward our inclusion program and commitments to ensure our teams thrive in an environment built on respect, collaboration, and mutual understanding
•Consistently reinforced our purpose and values, including delivering a manager effectiveness program to ensure that all leaders are equipped to lead according to the NXP DNA
•Continued to take measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our team members, customers and suppliers
Shareholder Engagement and Results of 2024 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
At our annual general meeting of shareholders held on May 29, 2024, we received approximately 96% of the votes in favor of the proposal to approve our NEOs’ compensation, on a non-binding, advisory basis.
We recognize the importance of engaging with our shareholders to understand their perspectives about our compensation philosophy and program design to maintain our high shareholder support. Our investor outreach efforts were aimed at supporting two major goals. First, we maintained a consistent, proactive and timely engagement with current and potential shareholders to present our long-term strategy, tangible proof points and measurement of our execution as well as our resulting financial performance. These engagements are undertaken throughout the year by a combination of our CEO, CFO and other executives. In addition, we held our triennial Investor Day in November 2024, where members of our management presented the company's long-term strategy and vision for growth to analysts and investors. Second, we facilitated on-going dialogue with the governance and stewardship groups of our major shareholders. These discussions focused on our executive compensation programs, company management oversight, corporate governance, human capital management and sustainability topics.
The shareholders with whom we connected generally provided positive feedback on our overall ongoing executive compensation program design and found that we have an appropriate balance of short and long-term rewards, with sufficient performance-related elements. They acknowledged our commitment to include sustainability and people metrics in our annual incentive plan. They further appreciated that we were setting challenging sustainability goals. The shareholders also supported the use of relative total shareholder return as a long-term performance metric within our overall compensation program.
Our Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “HRCC” or the “Committee”) thoughtfully evaluated information gathered from our shareholder engagement process and considered it, together with feedback and input from our independent executive compensation consultant, when making decisions throughout the year.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Philosophy
As previously described in the ‘Corporate Governance’ section of this proxy statement, our long-term strategy is to maximize value for shareholders and other stakeholders of the Company. By driving revenue performance, strong adjusted gross margin and enhancing the product portfolio as well as developing, rewarding and retaining a highly engaged workforce, we have shown a strong return for shareholders with over $21 billion in capital return over the trailing 10 years. Our purpose is bringing together bright minds to create breakthrough technologies that make the connected world better, safer, and more secure. This purpose is reinforced by our values of innovation, expertise, collaboration, ownership and growth built on a strong foundation of trust and respect. We have directly and deliberately linked NEO pay to stakeholder interests including those of our shareholders. This will be discussed in detail in following sections of this CD&A.
We operate globally and our executives are located in multiple countries. As a result, our pay philosophy considers both the overall importance of consistency across the world and specific competitive pay practices in the local country where our executive talent resides. Our overarching pay strategy is to:

Pay for Performance — delivering highly competitive overall pay for leading performance.

Our executive compensation program is designed to:
✓Reward short and long-term strategic goal delivery which aligns to stakeholder interests, including those of our shareholders, customers, team members, suppliers, as well as local and international communities where we operate
✓Enable NXP to attract, retain, motivate, and grow highly qualified talent with competitive and comprehensive compensation programs
✓Reward both collective and individual performance
✓Ensure fiscally sound practices while maximizing the value of the various compensation programs to individuals and NXP
✓Align to and reward demonstration of our values in support of our strong culture
✓Focus our innovations and rewards on our commitment to sustainability

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Key Practices in Determining Executive Compensation
The compensation of our CEO is determined by the HRCC under delegation from the Board, in accordance with the principles set forth in the remuneration policy for executive and non-executive directors previously approved by our general meeting of shareholders, as required under Dutch corporate law.
The compensation of our other NEOs is also determined by the HRCC based on CEO recommendations and advice from our independent compensation advisor with specific actions taken to ensure the direct connection of rewards to key performance outcomes as well as align executive pay to stakeholder interests. Overall, our programs are competitive in the industry and highly incentive-based, with a large percentage of overall compensation ‘at-risk’ and earned via our short- and long-term incentive programs based on overall Company and individual performance.

What We Do |  | What We Do NOT Do
✓Tie a significant majority of our NEOs’ pay to Company performance ✓Use both long- and short-term performance metrics ✓Cap annual incentive and long-term performance share unit ("PSU") plan payouts at 200% of target ✓Cap PSUs at 100% of target if total shareholder return for the performance period is negative, regardless of the Company’s relative performance compared to the Peer Group ✓Include a “double-trigger” provision under our cash and equity incentive plans in the event of a change-in-control ✓Maintain meaningful stock ownership guidelines for executives and directors ✓Use an independent executive compensation consultant to guide the design of compensation plans ✓Evaluate competitive market practices to establish program design and targeted payout amounts ✓Conduct an annual risk assessment of our compensation programs ✓Maintain a clawback policy covering the executive officers consistent with NASDAQ listing standards ✓Follow principles of our shareholder approved executive and non-executive director remuneration policy ✓Conduct outreach to shareholders to elicit feedback on our compensation program |  | ✗Guarantee salary increases or payouts for performance-based awards ✗Provide dividends or dividend equivalents on unearned performance share units ✗Provide excise tax gross-ups resulting from M&A activity or terminations ✗Provide excessive separation payments, liberal definitions of change in control, or single-trigger cash severance upon a change in control ✗Provide above market returns on deferred compensation plans ✗Permit short sales, hedging, and transactions involving derivatives of our stock ✗Provide personal loans, guarantees or other similar arrangements to executives ✗Allow the pledging of Company stock by directors, executive officers, and certain other employees ✗Re-price or buyout options without shareholder approval ✗Provide excessive perquisites

45

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
A Large Majority of Our NEOs’ Target Pay is At-Risk
Our high performance culture and pay for performance philosophy strongly align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stakeholders. As shown in the following charts, our 2024 target executive compensation program was heavily weighted towards at-risk compensation. Our CEO has 93% of his target compensation at risk with variable components through the value of his target AIP, restricted share units and performance-based equity awards. Approximately 69% is directly linked to performance of the Company through the value of his target AIP and performance-based equity awards, which is 70% of the target long term incentive award made each year. While these graphs represent target awards made during the year, actual earned pay is impacted directly by performance measures as well as stock price performance during the year. On average, our other NEOs also have approximately 86% of their target compensation at risk and 64% of their compensation linked directly to performance. In line with our pay for performance philosophy, the 2024 AIP payout was 61.4% of target and the PSUs vested at 76.32% of target reducing the NEO's realized compensation versus their target compensation. Additionally, the realized pay of the NEOs was impacted by our performance-based compensation programs. For example, Mr. Sievers' realized pay was approximately $17.0M in 2024 and $27.0M in 2023.*
These figures include annualized salary, target AIP and annual target equity award grant values. Figures exclude the items outlined in the Summary Compensation Table as 'All Other Compensation.' The 'Average Other NEO' figures exclude the CEO.
*Realized pay is defined as Salary, Nonequity Incentive Plan Compensation and All Other Compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table in 2023 and 2024 and the reported value realized in the Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table in 2023 and 2024.
Peer Group Analysis and Benchmarking
Competitive data associated with our Peer Group is evaluated annually by the HRCC to:
•Inform setting target total compensation
•Establish pay levels to attract, retain, motivate, and develop our executives
•Ensure that we provide market competitive programs—both individually and in aggregate
•Determine relative shareholder return ranking which establishes the vesting of performance-based stock unit plans (see further discussion later in this CD&A)
46

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For 2024, NXP's peer group (the "Peer Group") consisted of the following companies:

PEER GROUP
Advanced Micro Devices | Marvell Technology | Seagate Technology
Analog Devices | Microchip Technology | Skyworks Solutions
Applied Materials | Micron Technology | STMicroelectronics
ASML Holding | ON Semiconductor | TE Connectivity
Corning | Qorvo | Texas Instruments
Infineon Technologies | QUALCOMM | Western Digital
Lam Research |  |

The HRCC reviews the Peer Group annually to ensure the relevance of the companies and that they will provide the most appropriate comparison in making executive compensation decisions. A variety of factors were considered by the HRCC to determine the companies included in the Peer Group, including revenue, market capitalization, enterprise value, number of employees, similarities to the industries in which we operate, and the overlapping labor market for top talent. In 2024, the HRCC, after a review of these factors, at the recommendation of Mercer, the HRCC's independent executive compensation consultant, removed NVIDIA and Broadcom from the peer group because their size profiles are no longer sufficiently comparable to NXP.
For 2024, the HRCC — with assistance from Mercer and management — reviewed detailed data of the Peer Group to understand market competitive pay levels for various executive positions, including base salary, incentive targets, and target equity award levels, as well as other competitive compensation practices and plan design components.
In addition to our Peer Group, the HRCC, along with Mercer and management, reviews compensation information from published surveys to assess select roles and provide a broader view of the local and global competitive marketplace. From time to time, we evaluate information on pay levels and plan designs from other comparable companies that we believe are important for a more comprehensive understanding of our industry and/or broader technology market employment practices.
The Peer Group benchmark data as well as relevant additional market perspectives are used to inform program design principles along with the amount of each pay program and overall total compensation package. While this information is used as a guideline, it is not used as a specific target. Other factors are also considered in making final decisions for each pay component such as experience, performance, role complexity, leadership capability and impact.
2024 Compensation Decisions
Below we provide more details about each pay component and how the related amounts were determined.
Base Salary
Base salary represents annual fixed compensation and is a foundational element of our executive compensation program necessary to attract and retain talent. The HRCC reviews base salaries annually and approves each NEO’s base salary after assessing the following:
•The role complexity and requirements
•The individual’s performance, contributions, experience and impact
•Pay level considerations relative to other executives with similar roles and responsibilities
•The competitive landscape, including the compensation practices of the companies in our Peer Group and, where appropriate, survey data from a broader index of comparable public and regionally relevant companies
•Our business strategy and compensation philosophy
•Past actions related to base salary and whether any further change is warranted
47

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
After consideration of these factors, the HRCC determined the following annualized base salaries for each of the NEOs.

Name | Annualized Base Salary as of December 31, 2024 ($) |  | Year over Year Increase |
Kurt Sievers | 1,311,435 (€1,213,056) |  | 8 | % |
William Betz | 650,000 |  |  | 8 | % |
Christopher Jensen | 540,000 |  |  | 6 | % |
Andrew Micallef | 560,000 |  |  | 5 | % |

Note: The average exchange rate of 1.0811 (internal annual average rate) was used to convert from Euros to USD for Mr. Sievers who is paid in Euros. The year over year increase is based on his salary in Euros.
During the annual review process in May 2024, the HRCC reviewed each of the NEO’s salaries in relation to the market median and also considered other factors such as their performance, contribution and experience, any added responsibilities to the role, and for roles other than the CEO, the recommendation of the CEO. When determining the CEO’s salary, the HRCC looked at a number of performance indicators including leadership, global team member engagement, team performance, winning culture survey results, investor feedback, net promoter score, managing through leadership changes, long-term strategy and the general financial performance of the Company. The HRCC also approved increases for our other NEOs to ensure the base salaries are competitive in the market.
Annual Incentive Program
The Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) is the primary incentive vehicle that we use to drive performance on a short-term basis with a mixture of financial and sustainability metrics that reflect a combination of environment and people goals. The AIP focuses on financial performance metrics critical to NXP’s success that are measured on a six-month performance period. The financial performance metrics are informed by the Company's annual operating plan as approved by our Board in December and the metrics and goals and their associated performance ranges are established by the HRCC near the start of each six-month performance period. The sustainability goals and associated performance ranges are established by the HRCC near the start of the annual performance period. The AIP is a plan under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan which was approved by shareholders in 2019.
The HRCC reviews and approves the AIP program and targets taking into consideration:
•Each NEO’s role, experience and expected contributions
•The competitive market for determining targets as a percentage of base salary
•The measures that best reflect the Company’s short-term strategy and performance expectations in the fiscal year and their alignment to stakeholder interests
The 2024 AIP targets approved for each of our NEOs remained unchanged from 2023.

Name | 2024 AIP Target (% of Base Salary)
Kurt Sievers | 170%
William Betz | 100%
Christopher Jensen | 80%
Andrew Micallef | 80%
Jennifer Wuamett | 80%

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For 2024, the framework of our AIP program consisted of five components — financial components in each 6-month performance period and an annual sustainability component, each weighted at 20% of the annual incentive target.
•1H Revenue
•1H Adjusted Gross Margin
•2H Revenue
•2H Adjusted Gross Margin
•Annual Sustainability Scorecard
T he HRCC approved a non-GAAP operating margin threshold for 2024 so that no payment related to the sustainability scorecard portion of the AIP will be made if non-GAAP operating margin does not meet or exceed 32%.
The overall payout opportunity is capped at 200% of target. Our NEOs and other members of the management team receive only one AIP payout per year. It is calculated using the average realization from the components above; and any payout earned is made in the second quarter of the following year, i.e. 2024 payouts are made in the second quarter of 2025.
The financial and sustainability measures were as follows:
•Revenue: NXP is a market leader in multiple end markets, and our continued success is dependent on our ability to deliver revenue in these markets. We continued our focus on a straightforward metric related to absolute revenue targets. Specifically, the revenue metric is GAAP revenue as publicly reported for the two quarters comprising each of the 6-month performance periods.
•Non-GAAP Gross Margin*: Non-GAAP gross margin forms the cornerstone of driving our overall profitability. Successfully delivering differentiated new products that deliver value to our customers is critical to driving profitable growth. This is consistent with the measure used in previous years representing continued focus on gross margin.
•Sustainability Scorecard: NXP's annual incentive plan contains a sustainability component with multiple objectives and short-term targets that support our long-term environmental and people related aspirations. It is important to us that all team members focus on this journey; therefore, these sustainability objectives are applicable to the incentive plan for all team members, including NEOs. The specific goals, why we chose them and our 2024 performance are listed below.
◦Non-GAAP Operating Margin*: We use non-GAAP operating margin to evaluate our ability to generate profit from core operations. This measure is used as a threshold for paying out the portion of the AIP related to the annual Sustainability Scorecard to help ensure appropriate shareholder return.
*Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Operating Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Operating Margin by adjusting Gross Margin and Operating Margin, respectively, to exclude the effects of purchase price accounting, restructuring, stock-based compensation, merger-related costs, and other incidentals. These measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Appendix A to this Proxy Statement quantifies and reconciles these measures to the comparable US GAAP financial measure.
The HRCC sets performance targets for the two separate financial performance periods near the start of the performance period – i.e. January 1 – June 30, 2024 (“1H 2024 Financial Performance Period”) and July 1 – December 31, 2024 (“2H 2024 Financial Performance Period”). The financial performance targets for each performance period were informed by our 2024 annual operating plan, aligning with our fiscal 2024 financial objectives; taking into account overall affordability of the bonus opportunities provided under the AIP for fiscal 2024.
The HRCC sets performance targets related to the sustainability scorecard near the start of the year. They review our long term aspirational sustainability goals and the progress we've made against those goals in previous years. Then targets are set to continue towards the long term goals.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For team members other than our NEOs and other members of the management team, payouts are made twice a year – in October 2024 using the 1H 2024 Performance Period Payout Factor and April 2025 using the 2H Performance Period Payout Factor and Annual Sustainability Payout Factor. This practice has been very well received by team members to build confidence and create more open communication. It also links to our commitment to shareholders. However, for our NEOs and other members of the management team, the payout, like prior years, will be made for all payout factors in one payment on an annual basis in the second quarter of 2025 using the formula below.
*Bonusable salary is determined based on year-end base salary prorated for the time in the role.
The semiconductor industry historically has experienced cyclical performance variations, especially in the markets NXP serves. Starting in 2021, NXP developed financial performance targets for each half of the year to be measured and judged independently for purposes of the AIP. Setting targets for each 6-month performance period at the beginning of the performance periods is reflective of business realities and allows us to better align rewards to performance expectations considering the dynamic market. This approach allows the HRCC to ensure that targets remain challenging and motivating, considering many factors including material uncontrollable impacts like natural disasters, supply chain challenges and geopolitical pressures as well as changing market conditions. This allows us to live up to our commitment not to change performance targets once they are set or make discretionary payments to our NEOs when performance is not achieved due to material external factors. It also allows us to more clearly align to shareholder interests and more transparently communicate with our team members about our performance commitments, building momentum to achieve them.
The following table shows the measures and performance targets of our 2024 AIP approved by the HRCC at the beginning of each performance period:

2024 AIP Framework, Performance Targets & Results |  |  |
| Measures | 2023 Results | Threshold (25%) | Target (100%) | Stretch (200%) | Annual Weighting | 2024 Results | Measure Realization |  |  |
1H 2024 | Revenue ($ millions) | $6,420 | $6,200 | $6,700 | $7,200 | 20% | $6,253 | 33.0% |  |  |
Non-GAAP Gross Margin | 58.3% | 57.2% | 58.2% | 59.2% | 20% | 58.4% | 116.4% |  |  |
2H 2024 | Revenue ($ millions) | $6,856 | $6,600 | $7,100 | $7,600 | 20% | $6,361 | —% |  |  |
Non-GAAP Gross Margin | 58.6% | 57.4% | 58.4% | 59.4% | 20% | 57.9% | 57.4% |  |  |
Annual | Sustainability Payout Factor* | 13 pts | 8 pts | 12 pts | 16+ pts | 20% | 12 pts | 100% |  |  |
| Annual NXP Payout Factor | 61.4% |  |  |

*Non-GAAP operating margin was 34.2%; and therefore exceeded the 32% payout threshold for the annual sustainability scorecard.
NXP’s performance in 2024 was a reflection of a challenging semiconductor market environment that persisted throughout the year. In line with our pay for performance strategy, the NEOs will receive AIP payouts below target.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table lists the goals identified in our 2024 annual sustainability scorecard. It explains why we chose each goal and describes the progress we've made toward meeting each one within the past twelve months.

2024 Sustainability Scorecard Goal | Why Chosen | Achievement
Retention Retain global team members at a high level worldwide by year-end 2024 based on voluntary attrition rates | NXP promotes stability and continuity of our talent by measuring team member retention. This continuity leads to increased innovation, productivity and efficiency and reflects a positive work culture. | 3 of 3 points earned. The retention rate of our global team members was at our pre-established stretch goal.
Team Member Engagement Achieve an IDL team member engagement index ≥75th percentile of technology benchmark | Engaging our team members is a key aspect of how NXP creates long-term value for our stakeholders. We use results from our global Winning Culture Survey to assess the level of team member engagement and compare that with an external technology benchmark. | 2 of 3 points earned. Our 2024 IDL team-member engagement index was between the 75th and 90th percentile of the technology benchmark.
Women in the Workforce Increase representation of women in our overall indirect labor ("IDL") population by year-end 2024 | Women are underrepresented in our broader industry and within NXP and we therefore established an aspiration for 2024 to improve the representation of women in our overall IDL population by year-end 2024. | 1 of 3 points earned. As of year-end 2024, the representation of women in our IDL was below our 2024 aspiration.
Energy Efficiency Reduce carbon emissions by end of 2024 corrected for loading (using a baseline factory utilization rate of 85%) | Our roadmap to carbon neutrality includes annual emission-reduction targets that put NXP on a path to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions in line with our stated mid-term and long-term goals. | 2 of 3 points earned. As of year-end, we reduced carbon emissions by 5%.
Water Efficiency Recycle water in manufacturing | Water is an important part of our production processes. In order to conserve and withdraw less water, we have focused on increasing our water recycling rate. | 3 of 3 points earned. As of year-end, we recycled water at our pre-established stretch goal.
Scope 3 Emissions Program Calculate emissions of sold products in a harmonized manner | We understand that our impact extends beyond our direct operations and recognize the importance of addressing emissions along the entire value chain. | 1 of 3 points earned. As of year-end, we calculated emissions of our sold products below our pre-established goal.

Below are the 2024 AIP target values and the actual AIP payments that will be made to our NEOs in the second quarter of 2024 assuming they do not voluntarily leave the Company prior to the payout date.

Name | 2024 AIP Target ($) | 2024 AIP Payment ($) |
Kurt Sievers | 2,229,439 |  | 1,368,876 |  |
William Betz | 650,000 |  | 399,100 |  |
Christopher Jensen | 432,000 |  | 265,248 |  |
Andrew Micallef | 448,000 |  | 275,072 |  |
Jennifer Wuamett | 472,000 |  | 289,808 |  |

Note: The average exchange rate of 1.0811 (internal annual average rate) was used to convert from Euros to USD for Mr. Sievers whose AIP payment is paid in Euros.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) Program
A fundamental underpinning of our LTI program design is to align our NEOs’ and other key strategic decision makers’ interests with those of our shareholders. Our NEOs are critical to NXP’s long-term success, including driving our vision, strategy, and culture along with delivering results.
In establishing the LTI program for 2024, consistent with previous years, the HRCC considered the following:
•Expected long-term contribution of each role and individual
•Competitive market practice for each role as compared to our Peer Group and general competitive talent market practice
•Connection to shareholder interests
•Input from shareholder engagement
•Importance of establishing and retaining our high performing executive team
•Appropriate balance between time-based and performance-based LTI in accordance with our pay-for-performance philosophy
•Simplicity and relativity of the performance measure
NXP granted the following types of LTI awards to our NEOs in 2024:

LTI Award Type | Target Weighting | Vesting Schedule |  | Vesting Provisions
PSUs | 70% | 100% after year 3 based on results certified by the Committee |  | Performance-based contingent on NXP’s relative total shareholder return performance against the Peer Group with a vesting range of 0 – 200%
RSUs | 30% | 1/3rd per year on each anniversary of the grant date |  | Time-based

PSUs: For all grants made under our 2024 LTI program, the number of shares earned will be contingent upon NXP’s relative total shareholder return ("RTSR") performance versus the Peer Group from November 5, 2024 through November 4, 2027. The peer group used for this purpose is the same Peer Group described above in the section ‘Peer Group Analysis and Benchmarking.’ For the awards granted in 2024, the Committee evaluated the overall PSU program design, including the payout structure, considered shareholder feedback and determined not to make any changes from the previous year, other than the change in peer group previously discussed.
The HRCC determined to continue RTSR as the performance measure used for our PSUs after reviewing other alternatives and evaluating the prevailing market practice. RTSR aligns directly with shareholder interests as it measures returns from stock price movements and dividends. The number of PSUs ultimately earned at the end of the three-year performance period will be based on the payout schedule in the table below, with the overall payout opportunity capped at 200% of target for performance at or above the 75th percentile of the Peer Group. There is also a secondary cap whereby the final number of PSUs earned will be capped at 100% of target if NXP’s total shareholder return for the performance period is negative, regardless of the Company’s relative performance compared to the Peer Group. Prevailing market practice within our Peer Group shows similar payout structure to that presented in the table below.

| NXP Relative TSR Percentile Rank vs. Peer Group | Target PSUs Vesting
Maximum | 75th Percentile or Greater—Top Quartile | 200%
Target | 50th Percentile—Third Quartile | 100%
Threshold | 25th Percentile—Second Quartile | 25%
Below Threshold | Less than 25th Percentile—First Quartile | 0%

For performance between the levels shown in the preceding table, the percentage of target PSUs that will vest will be determined using linear interpolation.
52

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Realization of Previously Granted PSU Awards
Since establishing the PSU program in 2018, the awards have had the following performance realizations:

Year of Grant/Start of Performance Period | Year of Vest/End of the Performance Period | Performance Realization (% of target PSUs earned)
2021 | 2024 | 76.32%
2020 | 2023 | 173.68%
2019 | 2022 | 84.21%
2018 | 2021 | 135.29%

This reflects a direct connection between our relative total shareholder return as compared to our Peer Group and demonstrates its intended relationship to pay. PSU performance is tracked throughout the performance period and made visible to the participants. Final results are then certified by an external consulting firm and are submitted for approval by the HRCC.
RSUs: The RSUs granted to our NEOs vest 1/3rd per year starting on the first anniversary of the grant date. We believe that RSUs provide an important long-term retention incentive for our NEOs and further align their interests with those of our shareholders. In accordance with our pay for performance philosophy, the time-based RSUs represent 30% of the LTI award grant value.
2024 Target LTI Awards
Following thoughtful consideration of all relevant factors including the competitive market, the complexity of and contribution to their role, and expected future growth and contribution, in November 2024, the HRCC approved our NEOs' individual annual target LTI awards eligible to be earned over the next three years (see the table below). These grants were made in the customary granting cycle for NEOs and other employees. The grants are fully outlined in the Grants of Plan Based Awards on page 59.
For the annual LTI award granted to our CEO, the HRCC considered many important factors including:
•Revenue generation, solid gross margin and healthy free cash flow generation in 2024 despite industry volatility
•Exceptional leadership in advancing NXP’s strategy and NXP's culture, purpose and values
•Continued professionalism in handling the evolution of the leadership team
•Customer support, inventory management and collaboration through supply chain challenges

Name | 2024 Target LTI Award Value ($) | 70% PSUs ($) | PSUs Granted (at Target) (#) | 30% RSUs ($) | RSUs Granted (#)
Kurt Sievers | 16,400,000 |  | 11,480,000 |  | 51,102 | 4,920,000 |  | 21,901
William Betz | 3,500,000 |  | 2,450,000 |  | 10,906 | 1,050,000 |  | 4,674
Christopher Jensen | 3,000,000 |  | 2,100,000 |  | 9,348 | 900,000 |  | 4,007
Andrew Micallef | 3,000,000 |  | 2,100,000 |  | 9,348 | 900,000 |  | 4,007
Jennifer Wuamett | 3,000,000 |  | 2,100,000 |  | 9,348 | 900,000 |  | 4,007

The number of shares awarded under the LTI program were determined by taking the target annual LTI award value and dividing it by the grant date closing price. For the annual LTI awards on November 5, 2024, the grant date closing price was $224.65. The amounts reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table reflect the grant date fair values (i.e., accounting values) of the awards, as required under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proxy disclosure rules, and not the target award value noted in the table above.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Share Ownership Guidelines
In addition to our strong pay-for-performance philosophy and overall executive compensation program design, we further align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders through the NXP Executive Equity Ownership Policy (the “EOP”). The EOP applies to all NEOs as well as other members of the management team. All the NEOs are in compliance with their respective ownership guideline.

EOP Level | NXP EOP Policy
President & CEO | 6x base salary
Management Team: Section 16 Officers (including the NEOs) | 3x base salary
Board of Directors | 5x annual cash retainer
Compliance Window | 5 years
Policy If EOP Not Met | Retain 100% of the net shares received from LTI grants until EOP is met, with HRCC discretion to assess special situations on a case-by-case basis
Shares Counted Towards EOP | Shares directly or beneficially owned; unvested time-based RSUs

Other Practices & Guidelines
Retirement Benefits
The Company provides retirement benefits to help attract and retain the most highly talented senior executives. Our NEOs participate in various pension and retirement arrangements consistent with other employees in their respective country of employment. Our US NEOs participate in the Company sponsored 401(k) program. Employer matching contributions for the Named Executive Offers are included in the "All Other Compensation" column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 58. In connection with Mr. Sievers’ employment by our German subsidiary, NXP Semiconductors Germany GmbH, he participates in the Defined Benefit Plan offered by that subsidiary. Information related to this pension plan is included in the Pension Benefits Table on page 62.
Other Benefits and Perquisites
Our NEOs participate in medical and dental insurance, life insurance, short- and long-term disability programs, leave of absence, and other similar policies on the same terms as our other employees in their country of residence except our CEO who is provided with an international medical insurance policy, reflective of his employment across two countries and the international travel required of his position.
We also provide limited perquisites and personal benefits based on considerations unique to each NEO’s position and location. These additional arrangements can include one or more expenses such as tax preparation, an executive physical, a car lease and residential security. The values of all perquisites and other personal benefits provided to our NEOs are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 58.
Consistent with regulatory requirements, the Company forbids personal loans, guarantees or similar arrangements to members of our Board and NEOs, and consequently no loans, guarantees or similar arrangements were granted.
Employment Arrangements of Named Executive Officers
We have employment agreements with each of our NEOs setting forth the terms and conditions of their employment. These agreements establish the NEOs' base salary, annual incentive target, potential equity awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and participation in certain benefits plans, policies and programs applicable to other NXP executives, and participation in certain severance arrangements. The agreements also outline share ownership requirements as well as non-competition and non-solicitation requirements. A detailed description of the NEOs' employment agreements can be found beginning on page 64. Key practices related to these agreements were outlined on page 44. We do not provide excessive separation payments, any excise tax gross ups or single trigger change in control arrangements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Key Policies and Practices
Clawback Policy
In 2023, NXP adopted a Dodd-Frank compliant Clawback Policy. Under this policy the Company is entitled to recover, in full or in part, any incentive-based compensation erroneously awarded to any person who served as an executive officer after an accounting restatement. To date, there has been no accounting restatement that required recovery pursuant to the Clawback Policy.
In addition, AIP payments and LTI grants are subject to the clawback provisions mandated pursuant to Dutch corporate law for our Board, including the Executive Director, President and CEO. Under this provision, the Company is entitled to recover any performance-based compensation awarded in full or in part to the extent that such payment was made based on incorrect information regarding the performance against pre-established goals or about the circumstances from which the entitlement to the award was made dependent.
Derivatives Trading, Hedging, and Pledging Policies
NXP employees and directors are prohibited from, either directly, or indirectly, purchasing financial instruments (including pre-paid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of NXP securities. No NXP employee or director may engage in hedging, pledging, hypothecating (including holding in margin accounts), or short selling NXP securities, or causing any other person to do so.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy and internal procedures governing the purchase, sale and/or disposition of our securities by directors, officers and employees. Such policy is designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations and NASDAQ listing standards. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy can be found as an exhibit to our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Change of Control Policy
The Board believes that having a clear, consistent policy that determines the appropriate treatment of our NEOs in the event of a change of control of the Company is in the best interest of NXP. This ensures our executives are able to fully focus on the potential transaction in the best interest of the shareholders, without concern for their own disposition. The change of control benefits for our NEOs are described in the table and narrative under the “Potential Payments Upon Termination of Change of Control Table” section of this proxy on page 63. All NEOs have a double-trigger provision such that, if they are involuntarily terminated without cause or leave with good reason (as defined in the applicable agreement) within 12 months following a change of control, they will receive the following benefits:
•Severance payment of a minimum of 24 months of base pay and 2 times target bonus or the local regulatory program in their country of residence, whichever is higher
•Accelerated vesting of outstanding unvested equity in accordance with the applicable equity plan or award agreement
•For those NEOs who are either citizens of the United States or reside in the United States, 12 months of benefits continuation
•Our NEOs are not entitled to excise tax gross-ups in connection with these payments
Compensation Practices and Risk
The HRCC has oversight responsibility for evaluating risks related to the Company’s compensation policies and practices. The Committee believes our compensation programs balance an appropriate mix of short- and long-term performance objectives, cash- and equity-based compensation, and risks and rewards for our employees. Our programs incorporate key design features to mitigate the likelihood of excessive risk-taking behavior, including:
•Reasonable performance goals established by the HRCC for the AIP incorporating top-line (e.g., revenue performance) and bottom-line (e.g., adjusted gross margin) business performance factors
•All eligible NXP employees, including NEOs, are measured against the same business performance factors for AIP
•A maximum payout of 200% of bonus target including individual performance factor under the AIP
•Long-term incentive awards for our NEOs containing a mix of performance-based and time-based vesting, with the performance-based awards measured using relative total shareholder return performance over a three-year performance period
•Performance-based restricted share units have a maximum performance factor of 200%, or 100% if TSR is negative regardless of relative performance
55

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We have a strong internal control environment, including a written Code of Conduct as well as ethics and compliance training for all employees including our NEOs. Based on a review of our compensation program design including a risk assessment by the independent consultant, the HRCC believes that there are no significant risks and our policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on our Company.
Governance
The HRCC oversees the compensation and benefits programs for our NEOs and is comprised solely of independent, non-employee members of the Board. The HRCC works very closely with its independent compensation consultant and with management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. The HRCC Charter, which may be accessed at http://investors.nxp.com, details the full authority and responsibility of the committee.
The Role of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee
The HRCC is accountable for ensuring that the links between our executive compensation program and our business goals are responsible, appropriate, and strongly aligned with shareholders’ and other stakeholders’ interests. Under the responsibility of and as assigned by the Board, the HRCC annually establishes the compensation levels of our NEOs and reports to the full Board for their approval considering several factors, including:
•Each NEO’s role, responsibilities, experience, capability, and performance
•NEO succession planning, excluding the CEO which is governed by the NGSC, and important talent management activities
•Human capital statistics and activities below NEOs
•Compensation practices of the companies in our Peer Group
•Survey data from a broader group of comparable public companies (where appropriate)
•Relationship between the Company’s compensation policies and practices and risk management
The HRCC is also responsible to review the remuneration of the non-executive directors, and recommend from time to time to the Board an amendment concerning the remuneration to be resolved by the General Meeting of Shareholders including retainers, fees and equity grants.
The HRCC has oversight responsibilities more broadly focusing on overall culture and human capital management.
Further, the compensation of our CEO is determined by the HRCC in accordance with the principles set forth in the remuneration policy for executive and non-executive directors previously approved by our general meeting of shareholders, as required under Dutch corporate law.
The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee is accountable for corporate governance and sustainability matters. Under the responsibility of and as assigned by the Board, the key focus areas for the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee in these activities are: managing CEO and Board succession, nominating director candidates, evaluating organization effectiveness, overseeing sustainability policies, goals and programs and reviewing NXP top identified risks making proposals to the Board on oversight.
The Role of Management
Our CEO makes key pay recommendations for his direct management team to the HRCC, which includes the non-CEO NEOs. In addition, staff from NXP’s Human Resources organization provides support to the HRCC on various compensation and benefits issues, including market practices, Company policies, and recommendations for program changes. Our CEO does not make recommendations to or participate in the deliberations of the HRCC regarding the CEO’s own compensation.
The Role of the Independent Consultant
The HRCC has retained Mercer since 2014 to serve as its independent executive compensation consultant. Mercer provides advice directly to the HRCC. Other teams within Mercer and its affiliates perform services for us as described below. The individuals supporting the HRCC did not perform any services for us other than as directed by the HRCC.
During fiscal 2024, Mercer advised the HRCC on a variety of subjects such as compensation plan design and trends, pay for performance analytics, external competitive compensation reference points, the peer group used for benchmarking and other such matters. Mercer reports directly to the HRCC, participates in meetings as requested and communicates with the HRCC Chair between meetings, as necessary. The HRCC has the sole authority to:
•Modify or approve Mercer’s compensation
•Determine the nature and scope of its services
•Evaluate its performance
56

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
•Terminate the engagement and hire a replacement or additional consultant at any time
As noted above, in 2024 other teams within Mercer or its affiliates provided services at the request of management to the Company not related to advising the HRCC on executive officer and director compensation matters. Fees paid to Mercer and its affiliates for services provided in 2024 related to executive and director compensation totaled approximately $350,000.
Fees paid to Mercer and its affiliates for actuarial valuations of pension plans, market compensation survey data and consulting services related to broad-based employee benefit plans totaled approximately $370,000. In addition, Mercer acts as the broker of record for broad-based employee benefit plans in various countries in which we operate. As broker of record they received commissions directly from the benefit providers of approximately $480,000.
In 2024, the Company paid Marsh, an affiliate of Mercer, approximately $125,000 for fees or commissions related to insurance brokerage services unrelated to employee benefit programs and site services. Additionally, as part of its insurance brokerage services, Marsh receives insurance premium payments from the Company which Marsh pays to insurance carriers on behalf of the Company. Because these other services were in the ordinary course of business, the HRCC did not specifically approve such services, although the HRCC reviewed these other services in connection with their independence review.
Mercer informed us that it has safeguards and procedures in place to maintain independence in its executive compensation consulting practice. These safeguards include a rigidly enforced code of conduct, a policy against investing in client organizations and separation between Mercer’s executive compensation consulting and their other administrative and consulting business units from a leadership, performance measurement and compensation perspective. Specifically, Mercer has adopted Global Business Standards for Executive Compensation to manage actual or perceived conflicts of interest and ensure the integrity of their advice. It addresses how they manage the executive compensation consulting relationship, ensure the quality of consulting services and structure their business to prevent conflicts of interest. Mercer’s executive compensation consultants are not managed or rewarded based upon client revenue from other lines of business or other Marsh & McLennan (MMC) companies other than to the extent all employees benefit from overall success of MMC. The HRCC has assessed the independence of Mercer under NASDAQ listing standards and has concluded that no conflict of interest exists.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee Report

1.All amounts presented in the Summary Compensation Table, and in the supporting tables that follow, are expressed in U.S. dollars. Certain amounts payable to Mr. Sievers were paid in Euros. The exchange rate used for the purpose of the Summary Compensation Table and the supporting tables that follow is the average monthly rates for the full year: (i) 1.0811 for 2024, (ii) 1.0829 for 2023 and (iii) 1.0559 for 2022. 2.These amounts represent the aggregate weighted grant date fair value of RSU and PSU awards in the fiscal years shown. The stock award value is calculated in accordance with ASC 718. See Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies ‘Share-based compensation’ and Note 17— Share-based Compensation, both found in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information. For a description of the grant terms, see the footnotes of the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below. Assuming maximum achievement of performance metrics in the performance period, using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant and 200% of the target shares, the maximum values of the 2024 PSUs at the date of grant are as follows: Mr. Sievers— $22,960,129; Mr. Betz— $4,900,066; Mr. Jensen— $4,200,056; Mr. Micallef— $4,200,056; and Ms. Wuamett— $4,200,056. The realized value of these awards, if any, will not be determined until November 2027 based on the comparative RTSR over the performance period. 3.The payout amount for 2024 represents 61.4% of the NEO’s target AIP as discussed in the section ‘Annual Incentive Program’ above. The payout amounts for 2023 and 2022 represent 122.6% and 143.8%, respectively, of the NEO’s target AIP. 4.The amounts shown in this column represent the actuarial change in the present value of accrued benefit for the defined benefit plan of Mr. Sievers, as described in the ‘Pension Benefits’ table below. Based on the actuarial assumptions, primarily the discount rate, used to value Mr. Sievers’ accumulated benefit in 2024, the value of Mr. Sievers’s pension decreased by $224,446 from 2023. NXP does not maintain defined benefit plans except for those in countries where it is standard practice. Mr. Sievers is the only NEO who participates in a defined benefit pension plan in connection with his employment with our German subsidiary. 5.The 2024 amounts shown in the All Other Compensation column include the incremental cost to the Company of the following: –Mr. Sievers—amounts paid by the Company for residential security, international insurance, tax return preparation, a company car, and tax gross-up payments ($57,477) associated with the services included in ‘All Other Compensation’ –Mr. Betz—amounts paid by the Company for tax return preparation and Company 401(k) contributions ($17,250), and a tax gross-up payment for the tax return preparation services –Mr. Jensen—amounts paid by the Company for executive physical and Company 401(k) contributions ($17,250) –Mr. Micallef—amounts paid by the Company for home office allowance consistent with our other California employees, tax preparation, and Company 401(k) contributions ($17,250) and a tax gross-up payment for the tax return preparation services –Ms. Wuamett—amounts paid by the Company for executive physical and Company 401(k) contributions ($17,250). |

1.Future payouts under the Annual Incentive Program ("AIP") are shown in USD from 5% if threshold of the Sustainability Scorecard portion is met but not exceeded and no other portion of the AIP is earned; target if performance target is achieved at 100% and a maximum of 200% of target AIP using the salary and target AIP as of December 31, 2024 per the terms of the 2024 AIP as described above. Actual 2024 AIP payments are listed in the Summary Compensation Table. 2.These amounts represent the number of PSUs granted to Messrs. Sievers, Betz, Jensen and Micallef, and Ms. Wuamett as part of the 2024 annual grant under the NXP Semiconductors N.V. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 OIP"). Each PSU, which cliff vests on the third anniversary of the date of grant, entitles the grant recipient to receive from 0 to 2 common shares for each of the target units awarded based on the relative total shareholder return (RTSR) of the Company’s share price as compared to the Peer Group. See Long-Term Incentive ("LTI") Program above for a more detailed descriptions of the terms of these awards. 3.These amounts represent the number of RSUs granted to Messrs. Sievers, Betz, Jensen and Micallef, and Ms. Wuamett as part of the 2024 annual grant under the 2019 OIP. These awards vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. See Long-Term Incentive ("LTI") Program for a more detailed descriptions of the terms of these awards. 4.Amounts in this column represent the weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted in fiscal year 2024 calculated in accordance with ASC 718. With respect to the PSUs, in accordance with SEC rules, amounts reflect the fair value at the grant date determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the probability-weighted payoffs of a share-based payment assuming a variety of possible stock price paths. It represents the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the requisite service period determined as of the grant date under ASC 718 resulting in a per share grant date value of $258.19. The fair value for RSUs is determined by using the grant date closing price corrected for future dividend payments resulting in fair value of $217.18 per share for grants. The Monte Carlo Simulation value used in calculating the value of PSUs was determined based on the following: the valuation date was November 5, 2024; the NXP share price on the grant date was $224.65; the performance period is November 5, 2024 to November 4, 2027; the volatility assumption was 38.60%; and the initial TSR performance was 5.67%. PSUs are subject to a RTSR performance hurdle, where vesting is dependent on NXP’s TSR performance relative to its Peer Group. TSR is based on the average closing share price over the 20 trading days prior to the start of the performance period compared to the average closing share price over the 20 trading days up to and including the end of the performance period. Dividends were assumed to be re-invested on the ex-dividend date. |

Pension Benefits
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the potential benefits to Mr. Sievers as of December 31, 2024. No other NEO participates in a Company-sponsored defined benefit pension plan.

Name | Plan Name | Number of Years Credited Service (#) | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($) | Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($) |
Kurt Sievers | Germany DBP | 26 |  | 3,962,455 |  | — |  |

In connection with Mr. Sievers’ employment by our German subsidiary, NXP Semiconductors Germany GmbH, he participates in the Defined Benefit Plan offered by that subsidiary (the “Germany DBP”). This Germany DBP is closed to new employees but was available to all eligible employees of that subsidiary until December 31, 2006. The value in this table has been converted from Euros using the rate of 1.0811, the average euro to U.S. dollar conversation rate for 2024.
Under the Germany DBP, participants receive notional contributions that are credited to their personal pension accounts in an amount of 11% of monthly base salary in excess of a calculated social security contribution ceiling that does not factor in the 2004 exceptional adjustment step (leading to a 2024 ceiling value of €6,800/month), less the additional contribution paid by the employer in the staff pension insurance. Contributions and returns on investments accumulated at retirement (normal retirement age is defined as between 60 – 67) are converted into an annuity based on fixed standard actuarial factors as mentioned in the plan rules. The Germany DBP also provides for certain disability, widow(er) and orphan beneficiary pension benefits.
In calculating the amounts shown in the column titled “Present Value of Accumulated Benefit” in the table above, we calculated the amounts reflected for Mr. Sievers in accordance with ASC 715 using the following assumptions: a calculation date of December 31, 2024, a 3.45% discount rate, a 2.0% pension increase rate, retirement occurring at age 63, and applicability of the “Heubeck-Richttafeln 2018 G” mortality table.

Amounts also include two times gross annual base salary and two times target annual AIP payment for each NEO as specified in the Change of Control Severance Policy. Equity Related Payments: RSUs: Amounts represent the value of the accelerated vesting of the 2022, 2023 and 2024 RSU awards as per the terms of the equity award documents.

In the case of a change of control, the performance period would end effective as of the date of the change of control, assumed here as December 31, 2024, and the share delivery factor would be determined as of that date, subject to determination and certification by or on behalf of the Board. Benefits Continuation: Amounts represent an approximate cost for benefits continuation as specified in the Change of Control Severance Policy for Messrs. Betz, Jensen and Micallef and Ms. Wuamett, who are US citizens or residents. 5.No NEO is currently eligible for retirement, as defined in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 equity award agreements and the 2024 AIP as the participant’s termination of employment where the participant has attained both five (5) years of service with NXP and age sixty (60). 6.All unvested equity will be cancelled. No cash payments would be made.

Our equity awards agreements contain non-solicitation and non-competition provisions that are effective for 12 months following the termination of employment. Except as described above, unvested equity awards lapse if a participant’s employment terminates and such participant is no longer employed by NXP. If there is a violation by the participant of any provisions contained in the applicable equity award, plan or grant letter, then the equity award lapses on the date of such violation. The equity award agreements also require participants to execute and deliver a general release of claims upon termination.
NEO Employment Agreements
Mr. Sievers
In connection with Mr. Sievers’ nomination as Executive Director and President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sievers and the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) and NXP Semiconductors Germany GmbH, a wholly owned indirect affiliate of the Company, and Mr. Sievers entered into an addendum to Mr. Sievers’ existing employment agreement (the “Secondment Addendum” and together with the
64

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Management Agreement, are the “CEO Agreements”). A copy of the CEO Agreements can be found on Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 9, 2020. The CEO Agreements provide that effective May 27, 2020, Mr. Sievers serves as Executive Director and President and Chief Executive Officer until the date of the following annual general meeting, and will be extended if NXP‘s general meeting reappoints Mr. Sievers as Executive Director and President and CEO of NXP. The CEO Agreements outline terms and conditions of Mr. Sievers' employment including his base salary, annual incentive target and participation in certain benefits plans, policies and programs applicable to other NXP executives and officers. Considering Mr. Sievers’ tenure—he has been employed at NXP since 1995—the HRCC determined to provide in the CEO Agreements that in the event that Mr. Sievers’ employment is terminated at the initiative of the Company and other than for cause, Mr. Sievers will be entitled to a severance amount of two times the gross annual base salary and a pro-rata payment of the annual cash bonus, depending on achievement of the pay-out conditions and the period in which Mr. Sievers has performed actual work for the Company. One additional element the HRCC took into account was that Mr. Sievers, being employed by the Company’s German subsidiary NXP Semiconductors Germany GmbH, in the absence of the severance arrangements in the CEO Agreements, would be entitled to a severance amount that could be as high as four times his base salary, according to German employment law, in the absence of the lesser severance arrangements in the CEO Agreements. Mr. Sievers is subject to non-competition provisions that remain in effect for a period of one year following the termination of his employment agreement. Mr. Sievers is also subject to the change in control policy, which states that in the event Mr. Sievers' employment is terminated within twelve months following a change of control or if Mr. Sievers resigns for “good reason” within twelve months following a change of control, in either case not under certain conditions involving misconduct, then Mr. Sievers is entitled to the change of control arrangements approved from time to time by the Company’s HRCC, as described on page 55. These payments are estimated in the table above.
Other Executive Officers
Mr. Betz, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Micallef and Ms. Wuamett have entered into employment agreements with NXP USA, Inc. ("NXP USA"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of their employment, including their base salary, annual incentive target and participation in certain benefits plans, policies and programs applicable to other NXP executives. Each officer may terminate employment for any reason upon three months’ written notice and either NXP USA or the officer may terminate their employment immediately under certain conditions involving misconduct. In the event that NXP USA terminates an officer's employment absent certain conditions involving misconduct, such officer is entitled to receive a lump sum cash severance payment of one year's base salary and a pro rata payment of the annual incentive bonus for the period that such officer performed actual work, to the extent the conditions for a bonus payout have been met. In the event an officer's employment is terminated within twelve months following a change of control or the officer resigns for "good reason" within twelve months following a change of control, in either case not under certain conditions involving misconduct, then such officer is entitled to the change of control arrangements approved from time to time by the Company’s HRCC, as described on page 55. All severance payments are contingent on the officer signing and not revoking a release of claims. Each officer is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions for twelve months and customary prohibitions on disclosing confidential information following the termination of his employment for any reason.
CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
The annual total compensation for the median employee of NXP (other than our Chief Executive Officer) in 2024 was $46,891. The annual total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer was $20,694,772. We used the total compensation for Mr. Sievers, our CEO, as reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the median employee was approximately 441:1.
We have a global workforce operating in over 30 countries. Our locations in China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand have significant manufacturing activities and represent a total headcount of approximately 46% of our global population as of December 31, 2024. Excluding employees from those four countries, the global average base pay would be approximately $88,000.
To identify the median employee, we used the following methodology:
•We identified our median employee by considering our employee population as of December 31, 2024
•To determine the median employee, we used a consistently applied compensation measure that included annualized base pay, AIP or sales incentive plan at target and the approved value of the annual equity awards granted during 2024
•We applied the exchange rate we utilize in our HR recordkeeping system as of December 31, 2024
•Salaries were annualized for all employees who were hired or were on an unpaid leave during the fiscal year
To determine the pay ratio:
•We calculated the 2024 compensation elements for the median employee in accordance with the requirements of item 402(c)(2)(x) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The median employee resides in India in a research and development role.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2024, Ms. Clayton, Mr. Gavrielov, Ms. Olving, Mr. Summe and Mr. Sundström served on the HRCC. Other than Mr. Sundström, none of the members of the HRCC is or has been an executive officer or employee of NXP. Mr. Sundström held the role as CFO of NXP Semiconductors N.V. from 2008–2012. None of our executive officers serves on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company which has an executive officer who serves on our Board or HRCC.

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, which was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2022 pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we are providing the following disclosure regarding executive compensation versus Company performance for the fiscal years listed below. The amounts in the table below are calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not represent amounts actually earned or realized by NEOs.

1.For fiscal year 2020 Richard Clemmer served as our PEO through May 27, 2020. Kurt Sievers was appointed as our PEO on May 27, 2020 and has served as our PEO since that date. The Non-PEO NEOs for whom the average compensation is presented in this table are: (i) for fiscal year 2020, Peter Kelly, David Reed, Steven Owen and Jennifer Wuamett; (ii) for fiscal year 2021, Peter Kelly, William Betz, Andrew Micallef, Steven Owen and Jennifer Wuamett; and (iii) for fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024, William Betz, Christopher Jensen, Andrew Micallef and Jennifer Wuamett.
2.The amounts shown as Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S‑K and do not reflect compensation actually realized or received by a PEO or the other NEOs. Mr. Sievers is the only NEO who has participated in a pension during the reporting years. The amounts shown as Compensation Actually Paid reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") for each year, adjusted as required. The following table details those adjustments for 2024.

Year |  | Summary Compen- sation Table Total ($) | Grant Date Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted During Applicable Year from SCT ($) ( — ) | Year-End Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted During Applicable Year ($) ( + ) | Change in Fair Value as of Year-End of Any Prior Year Awards that Remain Unvested as of Year-End ($) ( + ) | Change in Fair Value as of the Vesting Date of Any Prior Year Awards that Vested During Applicable Year ($) ( + ) | Change in Pension Value for the Applicable Year from SCT ($) ( — ) | Pension Service Costs Attributable to the Applicable Year ($) ( + ) | Compensation Actually Paid ($) |

2024 | Kurt Sievers (PEO) | 20,694,772 |  | 17,950,484 |  | 15,829,660 |  | (9,125,566) |  | (5,060,216) |  | — |  | 177,740 |  | 4,565,906 |  |

For the equity values included in the above tables, the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of the grant. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. PSU awards outstanding as of December 31 of the reporting year have been valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. RSU awards outstanding as of December 31 of the reporting year have been valued using the value date closing stock price discounted for future dividend payments. The fair values as of the vesting date are calculated using the closing share price on the day prior to the vesting date. No dividends or dividend equivalents are paid or earned on unvested equity awards and no equity awards were granted and vested in the same year.
3.The Peer Group Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") set forth in this table utilizes the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index (“Philadelphia Sox Index”), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019 through the last trading day of the reporting year in the Company and in the Philadelphia Sox Index, respectively, assuming the reinvestment of any dividends. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
4.We are providing this as a supplement financial measure. Non-GAAP Gross Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate Non-GAAP gross margin by adjusting Gross Margin to exclude the effects of purchase price accounting, restructuring, stock-based compensation, merger-related costs, and other incidentals. These measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Appendix A to this Proxy Statement quantifies and reconciles this measure to the comparable US GAAP financial measure.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Relationship Between Performance Measures and Compensation Actually Paid
Below are graphic representations that help illustrate the relationship between 'compensation actually paid' ("CAP") and the financial measures in the table above as well as the relationship of NXP’s TSR and the TSR of the Philadelphia SOX Index as well as the S&P 500 Index as a supplemental measure. CAP, as required under SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the table based on year-end stock prices, various accounting valuation assumptions, and projected performance modifiers but does not reflect actual amounts paid out for those awards. Because our NEO compensation is heavily weighted on equity, specifically performance based equity, the largest determinants of CAP are year over year changes in NXP’s stock price, realized achievement on PSUs awards that vested during the reporting year and projected PSU realizations on the unvested PSU awards in the form of Monte Carlo valuations.

Tabular List of Most Important Performance Measures

*The SEC has provided guidance that multi-year performance measures cannot be used as the Company's selected measure included in the table; however because it is an important part of our compensation program we have listed it here.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Transactions
There were no transactions or series of similar transactions, since January 1, 2024, to which we were a party or will be a party other than compensation arrangements which are described under “Executive Compensation,” in which:
•the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and
•a director or director nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our common shares or any immediate family member of a director, director nominee or executive officer had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Statement of Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons
The Board has adopted a written policy that requires our Audit Committee to review and approve or ratify all related party transactions that involve a value of $120,000 or more (excluding employment relationships). The Human Resources and Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving or ratifying any employment relationship with a related party that involves compensation of $120,000 or more. In determining whether to approve or ratify, as applicable, a related party transaction, these committees are guided by our Code of Conduct which, among other things, requires that business decisions and actions be based on the best interests of NXP and not be motivated by personal considerations or relationships.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with NXP’s management and its independent auditor, EY Accountants B.V. (the legal successor of Ernst & Young Accountants LLP) (“EY”). The Audit Committee has also discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. In addition, EY provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with EY its independence from NXP and its management. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision of other non-audit services by EY to NXP is compatible with the auditors’ independence and has concluded that it is.
In reliance on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, the 2024 Statutory Annual Accounts and the inclusion of the audited financial statements in NXP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the SEC.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of such securities. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations that no other reports were required during 2024, we believe that all required reports were timely filed.

OTHER MATTERS
We have provided to you with this proxy statement a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including audited financial statements. Copies of these materials are also available online through the SEC at www.sec.gov. We may satisfy SEC rules regarding delivery of proxy materials, including this proxy statement, the notice and the Annual Report on Form 10-K, by delivering a single set of proxy materials to an address shared by two or more holders of ordinary shares, unless contrary instructions are received prior to the mailing date. This delivery method can result in meaningful cost savings for us.

APPENDIX A
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with US GAAP, this document contains references to non-GAAP financial measures and adjustments as included below. In managing NXP’s business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin and when assessing appropriate levels of research and development efforts. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting NXP’s business. We believe that they enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to operations, certain non-cash expenses and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in NXP’s underlying performance. This information also enables investors to compare financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management.
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these and other similar items in NXP’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure | Definition | Usefulness to Management and Investors
PPA Effects | Purchase Price Accounting ("PPA") effects reflect the fair value adjustments impacting acquisition accounting and other acquisition adjustments charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This typically relates to inventory, property, plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets, such as developed technology and marketing and customer relationships acquired. The PPA effects are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. These charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years. | We believe that excluding these charges related to fair value adjustments for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current cost of our products, our gross margin, our operating costs, our operating margin, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.
Restructuring | Restructuring charges are costs associated with a restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Charges related to restructuring are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements | We exclude restructuring charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.

72

APPENDIX A

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure | Definition | Usefulness to Management and Investors
Stock Based Compensation | Stock based compensation consists of incentive expense granted to eligible employees in the form of equity based instruments. Charges related to stock based compensation are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. | We exclude charges related to share-based compensation for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe these charges, which are non-cash, are not representative of our core operating performance as they can fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model, how management currently evaluates core operational performance, and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Other Incidentals | Other Incidentals consist of certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. These may include such items as process and product transfer costs, certain charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, litigation and legal settlements, costs associated with the exit of a product line, factory or facility, environmental or governmental settlements, and other items of similar nature. | We exclude these certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.
|  | We exclude these costs for purposes of reporting Non-GAAP Financial income (expense) to facilitate a useful evaluation of our core financial income (expense) performance by removing results associated with factors that are not within our control or are not regularly recurring in nature. We believe this also provides the most appropriate basis for comparisons to past results.
Foreign exchange gain (loss) | Foreign exchange gain (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of long-term debt | Gain (loss) on extinguishment of long-term debt include costs associated with (early) debt extinguishment.
Other financial income (expense) | Other financial income (expense) adjustments include such items as gains and losses on investments in marketable and non-marketable equity securities, interest related to non-forecasted uncertain tax positions, debt issuance costs, etc.
Non-GAAP Provision for income taxes | Non-GAAP provision for income taxes is NXP's GAAP provision for income taxes adjusted for the income tax effects of the adjustments to our GAAP measures, including the effects of purchase price accounting (“PPA”), restructuring costs, share-based compensation, other incidental items and certain other adjustments to financial income (expense) items. Additionally, adjustments are made for the income tax effect of any discrete items that occur in the interim period. Discrete items primarily relate to unexpected tax events that may occur as these amounts cannot be forecasted (e.g., the impact of changes in tax law and/or rates, changes in estimates or resolved tax audits relating to prior year tax provisions, the excess or deficit tax effects on share-based compensation, etc.). | The non-GAAP provision for income taxes is used to ascertain and present on a comparable basis NXP's provision for income tax after adjustments, the usefulness of which is described within this table. Additionally, the income tax effects of the adjustments to achieve the noted non-GAAP measures are used to determine NXP's non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and accordingly, our diluted non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to stockholders.

APPENDIX A

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure | Definition | Usefulness to Management and Investors
Non-GAAP Results relating to equity-accounted investees | Non-GAAP Results relating to equity-accounted investees excludes results from NXP’s investments over which it has significant influence, but not control, and whose business activities are not related to the core operating performance of NXP. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the NXP’s share of net assets of the equity-accounted investee since the acquisition date. NXP’s share of the results of operations of the equity-accounted investees are recognized in ‘Results relating to equity-accounted investees’. | We eliminate the defined results relating to equity-accounted investees for purposes of non-GAAP measures because excluding these results provides management and investors with a more direct composition of NXP's core operating results as well as period on period comparability.
Non-GAAP Diluted earnings per share (EPS) | Diluted non-GAAP EPS is NXP's Non-GAAP Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders, representing GAAP Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders as adjusted for those items noted within this table, divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for treasury shares held. | The use of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share allows management to evaluate the operating results of NXP's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including, generally, those adjustments noted within this table. In addition, these items are important components of management’s internal performance measurement, as they are used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, setting targets and forecasting future results. We present non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of NXP's core businesses and, to the extent comparable, to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against those of other companies in our industry.
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Revenue | Free Cash Flow represents operating cash flow adjusted for net additions to property, plant and equipment. This is also used as the numerator for our Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Revenue. | We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our cash-generating capability and our financial performance, and is an efficient means by which users of our financial statements can evaluate our cash flow after meeting our capital expenditure.

These factors, risks and uncertainties include the following: market demand and semiconductor industry conditions; the ability to successfully introduce new technologies and products; the demand for the goods into which NXP’s products are incorporated; global trade disputes, potential increase of barriers to international trade, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs, and resulting disruptions to NXP’s established supply chains; the impact of government actions and regulations, including as a result of executive orders, including restrictions on the export of products and technology; increasing and evolving cybersecurity threats and privacy risks; the ability to generate sufficient cash, raise sufficient capital or refinance corporate debt at or before maturity to meet both NXP’s debt service and research and development and capital investment requirements; the ability to accurately estimate demand and match our production capacity accordingly or obtain supplies from third-party producers; the access to production capacity from third-party outsourcing partners and any events that might affect their business or NXP’s relationship with them; the ability to secure adequate and timely supply of equipment and materials from suppliers; the ability to avoid operational problems and product defects and, if such issues were to arise, to correct them quickly; the ability to form strategic partnerships and joint ventures and to successfully cooperate with alliance partners; the ability to win competitive bid selection processes; the ability to develop products for use in customers’ equipment and products; the ability to successfully hire and retain key management and senior product engineers; global hostilities, including the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and resulting regional instability, sanctions and any other retaliatory measures taken against Russia and the continued hostilities and the armed conflict in the Middle East, which could adversely impact the global supply chain, disrupt our operations or negatively impact the demand for our products in our primary end markets; the ability to maintain good relationships with NXP’s suppliers; our ability to generate sufficient cash, raise sufficient capital or refinance our debt at or before maturity to meet our debt service, research and development and capital investment requirements; and a change in tax laws could have an effect on our estimated effective tax rate. In addition, this document contains information concerning the semiconductor industry, our end markets and business generally, which is forward-looking in nature and is based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which the semiconductor industry, our end markets and business will develop. NXP has based these assumptions on information currently available, if any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from those predicted. While NXP does not know what impact any such differences may have on its business, if there are such differences, its future results of operations and its financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak to results only as of the initial publication date of this document. Except for any ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the United States federal securities laws, NXP does not have any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this document, whether to reflect any future events or circumstances or otherwise.
