NXP to focus on high-performance mixed-signal, says CEO
|
| Jul 28, 2009 |
| Speaking to EE Times after posting financial results for the second quarter of 2009, Clemmer said that while the company would continue to opportunistically reschedule debt and reduce the cost of servicing its endebtedness it would also improve the fundamentals of the business.
Clemmer said he was pleased that the company had reduced its level of endebtedness from $6 billion to just over $4.8 billion in recent months. "We want to take advantage of market rates and we will continue to work that." However, Clemmer pointed out that a recent note offer from NXP had not been fully subscribed and that the ability to drive down debt also depended on banks and institutional investors' appetites. "The good news is we don't have any bonds that mature before 2013," he said. [EEtimes.com] |
