Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A reports the decision of Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. (“Freescale”) regarding the frequency of future advisory and non-binding shareholder votes on the compensation of Freescale’s named executive officers. Freescale reported the results of the matters submitted to vote at its 2012 annual general meeting of shareholders on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2012 (the “Original 8-K”). The sole purpose of this Form 8-K/A is to disclose Freescale’s decision regarding the frequency of future advisory and non-binding shareholder votes in light of the shareholder vote. Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not supersede the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.

Item 5.07.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As reported in the Original 8-K, at Freescale’s annual general meeting of shareholders held on April 25, 2012, a majority of the shares were cast in favor of holding an advisory and non-binding shareholder vote regarding named executive compensation on an annual basis.  In light of this result and the other factors considered by Freescale’s Board of Directors in making its original recommendation to the shareholders, Freescale’s Board of Directors has decided to hold future advisory and non-binding shareholder votes on named executive compensation on an annual basis, until such time as the next advisory vote is submitted to shareholders regarding the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation, or until Freescale’s Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of Freescale’s shareholders.
