Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

On November 30, 2017, Pendrell Corporation (the "Company") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Amendment"), pursuant to which the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the "Common Stock"), effective as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on November 30, 2017 (the "Effective Time"). A more detailed description of the Reverse Split is set forth under Item 8.01 below and in the Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

See the description of the Amendment in Item 3.03 above and the Reverse Split in Item 8.01 below.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Reverse Split:

The Company estimates that the Reverse Split has reduced the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock from approximately 24.4 million shares to approximately 240,000 shares. In connection with the Reverse Split, the CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock was changed to 70686R500 and the CUSIP number for the Class B Common Stock was changed to 70686R609. We anticipate the change to the CUSIP number and the impact of the Reverse Split will be evidenced on the NASDAQ stock exchange on or about December 5, 2017. The Reverse Split affects all Company shareholders uniformly and does not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that shares fractionalized by the Reverse Split are cashed-out. Shareholders who hold shares fractionalized by the Reverse Split (those shareholders with a share count not evenly divisible by 100) did not receive fractional shares. Instead, the fractionalized shares were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $6.73 per fractionalized share.

The Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates or book entry shares, and payment for fractional shares. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing shares of the Common Stock before the Reverse Split will automatically be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of one-one-hundredth (1/100) of the shares evidenced by such certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest whole share. All shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, and the exercise price per share, will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. In addition, outstanding restricted stock units will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.

De-Registration:

On December 4, 2017, the Board filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 to de-register the Class A common stock. The Company anticipates that the de-registration will be completed within 90 days thereafter.

Dividend:

On November 30, 2017, the Board assessed the Company’s financial position for 2017, recognized the likelihood of positive personal holding company income for 2017, and therefore determined that the Company will declare a dividend to shareholders, payable in 2017, to reduce or eliminate personal holding company tax liability. The Company issued a press release announcing that the Board declared a dividend of $12.32 per share, payable on shares outstanding after the Reverse Split. The dividend will be paid on December 27, 2017 to shareholders of record on December 15, 2017. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
