(Reuters) - NXP Semiconductors NV NXPI.O, whose buyout deal with U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm Inc QCOM.O fell through due to lack of approval from China, said on Thursday it would buy back $5 billion worth of shares.
The company said Qualcomm has informed the company it would pay $2 billion breakup fee by 9 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday.
NXP also reported second-quarter revenue of $2.29 billion, a 4 percent increase from last year, missing the average analyst estimate of $2.36 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
