Item 8.01 Other Events
The special meetings of the stockholders of TiVo and Rovi Corporation (“Rovi”) to approve the proposed business combination transaction between TiVo and Rovi and certain related matters have both been scheduled for September 7, 2016. TiVo expects that, subject to obtaining the approval of the TiVo and Rovi stockholders and the other customary closing conditions described in the joint proxy statement / prospectus distributed to TiVo stockholders, the TiVo Merger (as defined below) will become effective on September 7, 2016.
As previously announced, on April 28, 2016, TiVo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rovi, Titan Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Rovi (“Parent”), Nova Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Rovi Merger Sub”), and Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“TiVo Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, TiVo Merger Sub will merge with and into TiVo with TiVo surviving as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “TiVo Merger”), and Rovi Merger Sub will merge with and into Rovi with Rovi surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
TiVo is required to give notice of the anticipated effective date of the TiVo Merger to the holders of its 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (CUSIP No. 888706AF5) (the “Notes”) and the TiVo Merger would constitute a “Fundamental Change” and a “Make Whole Change” (as those terms are defined under the Indenture, dated as of September 22, 2014, between TiVo and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, relating to the Notes).
Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements relating to the completion of the proposed transactions. A number of factors could cause Rovi’s and TiVo’s actual results to differ from anticipated results expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, 1) uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the transaction and the ability of each party to consummate the transaction; 2) the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the transaction, including the approval of the transaction by Rovi’s and TiVo’s stockholders; and 3) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including as a result of delay in completing the transaction or integrating the businesses of Rovi and TiVo. The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the Risk Factors included in Rovi’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 and Rovi’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016, TiVo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 31, 2016 and TiVo’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2016, and other securities filings which are on file with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov). Neither company assumes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
