Scott Anderson, president and chief operating officer (COO), will end his 27-year career with the company. Freescale will streamline its governance structure and has no current plans to fill the role of president and COO.

"Now that Freescale is firmly established as a fully independent company, I believe this is the right time for me to move on," Anderson said.

"I appreciate Scott remaining with Freescale after my arrival in mid-2004 to help see us through the IPO and manage our operations while I became better acquainted with our company, our customers and our employees," said Michel Mayer, Freescale's chairman and chief executive officer. "Scott has been very supportive over these past months, and I thank him for his service."

Anderson held a number of management positions and served as president and CEO of Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector before its spin-off from Motorola and July 2004 initial public offering (IPO) as Freescale Semiconductor, a global leader in embedded processing.

In addition, Chris Belden, senior vice president - manufacturing, also will leave Freescale. Belden held various management positions with the company during his 22-year career with Motorola and Freescale.
