The termination affects Avnet Silica and Farnell in Europe.

That explains a couple of things. A few designs I've worked on this year involve Nat Semi and TI parts, and I was puzzled as to why they were going end-of-line at Farnell, which I normally consider to be a one-stop-shop for all the parts needed for a design. So I've had to tell my customers to buy them from Mouser and Digi-key instead. I think it's a sad loss for Farnell and CPC, because it means that they won't be able to supply some of the key parts for a design, so they're likely to lose the business of the rest of the parts too. Shame.
