This DEFM14A is the definitive proxy statement for the previously announced acquisition of Silicon Labs by Texas Instruments. While the core terms of the merger, including the $231 per share cash consideration, were disclosed earlier (e.g., in the 10-K filed on 2026-02-10), this filing provides comprehensive details necessary for shareholders to make an informed voting decision.
