ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On June 18, 1998, Texas Instruments Incorporated (the "Registrant")
and Micron Technology, Inc. ("Micron") announced that they had entered into an
agreement for Micron to purchase the assets of Registrant's semiconductor
memory business (the "Memory Business"). The transaction included the purchase
of substantially all of Registrant's memory assets, including its wholly-owned
fabs in Avezzano, Italy and Richardson, Texas, its shares in its DRAM
manufacturing joint ventures in Japan and Singapore, and an assembly and test
operation in Singapore. The closing of the sale was consummated on September
30, 1998. Registrant received approximately 28.9 million shares of Micron
common stock valued at $881 million as of the closing date, $740 million in
6.5% notes convertible into an additional 12 million shares of Micron common
stock, and a $210 million 6.5% subordinated note. The aggregate market value of
the 6.5% convertible notes and the 6.5% subordinated note as of the closing
date was approximately $836 million.

In addition to Registrant's memory assets, Micron received $550 million in
proceeds from financing provided by Registrant to facilitate the deployment of
Micron's technology throughout the acquired business. As part of the
transaction, Micron also received a 10 year royalty free cross license
agreement. Additionally, Registrant agreed to guarantee the payment obligations
of one of its former joint ventures under a newly-syndicated $450 million
principal amount credit facility. At closing, the joint venture had borrowed
$210 million under the facility. As a result of the guarantee, Registrant was
granted a security interest in the joint venture's assets. In addition, the
guarantee is partially offset by certain contingent funding obligations of the
joint venture shareholders. Registrant recognized a before-tax gain of $127
million on the sale, which will be deferred until the repayment of the
Registrant-funded financing to Micron.
