No Offer or Solicitation
This document is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or
the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities or a solicitation of any vote of approval, nor shall there be any
sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements are based on Xperi's and TiVo's current
expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of
the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and
industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by Xperi and TiVo,
all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements
often address expected future business and financial performance and financial
condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend,"
"plan," "believe," "could," "seek," "see," "will," "may," "would," "might,"
"potentially," "estimate," "continue," "expect," "target," similar expressions
or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey
uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by
their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which
are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as
statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the
anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements,
including the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take
any filing or other action required to consummate the transaction on a timely
matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should
not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in
relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the completion of the
proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining
shareholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen
liabilities and other conditions to the completion of the transaction;
(ii) 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 Xperi and TiVo; (iii) potential litigation relating to the
proposed transaction that could be instituted against Xperi, TiVo or their
respective directors; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the proposed
transaction will harm Xperi's or TiVo's business, including current plans and
operations; (v) the ability of Xperi or TiVo to retain and hire key personnel;
(vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting
from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction;
(vii) uncertainty as to the long-term value of HoldCo Common Stock;
(viii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting Xperi's and
TiVo's businesses; (ix) general economic and market developments and conditions;
(x) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which Xperi and TiVo
operate; (xi) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing
business relationships, during the pendency of the proposed transaction that
could affect Xperi's and/or TiVo's financial performance; (xii) restrictions
during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact Xperi's or
TiVo's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic
transactions; (xiii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events,
including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or
hostilities, as well as Xperi's and TiVo's response to any of the aforementioned
factors; (xiv) failure to receive the approval of the stockholders of Xperi
and/or TiVo; and (xv) any plans regarding a potential separation of the combined
businesses. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed
transaction, are more fully discussed in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to
be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. While the
list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the
Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be, considered representative, no such
list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and
uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to
the realization of forward looking statements. Consequences of material
differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational
problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on Xperi's or TiVo's
consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Neither
Xperi nor TiVo assumes any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates
to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as
otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
