Item 8.01 Other Events

(A) Rovi Corporation Announces Exchange Ratio, Per Share Cash Amount and Per Share Stock Amount

Rovi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Rovi”), and TiVo Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TiVo”), today announced the exchange ratio as determined based on the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28, 2016, by and among Rovi, TiVo, 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, and Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Agreement”). The TiVo merger consideration was designed to be valued at $10.70 per share of TiVo common stock in total at Rovi common stock per share values between $16.00 and $25.00, and consists of $7.95 in stock and $2.75 in cash, with the number of shares of Parent common stock issuable in respect of the $7.95 in stock based on the volume-weighted average of Rovi’s common stock price on the NASDAQ Stock Market, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., for the fifteen consecutive trading days ended on and including September 1, 2016 (the trading day three business days prior to September 7, 2016, the anticipated closing date of the mergers), which was $20.6344. The exchange ratio for TiVo stockholders as described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (as amended, supplemented or modified) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2016 by Parent is therefore 0.3853x.

Rovi and TiVo stockholders should consider the above calculations together with the illustrative calculations in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (as amended, supplemented or modified) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2016 by Parent.

A special meeting of Rovi stockholders is scheduled to take place on September 7, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time. The meeting will be held at Rovi’s principal executive offices at 2 Circle Star Way, San Carlos, California 94070. All stockholders of record of Rovi’s common stock as of the close of business on July 22, 2016 will be entitled to vote their shares either in person or by proxy at the stockholder meeting.

A special meeting of TiVo stockholders is scheduled to take place on September 7, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time. The meeting will be held at TiVo’s principal executive offices at 2160 Gold Street, San Jose, California 95002. All stockholders of record of TiVo’s common stock as of the close of business on July 22, 2016 will be entitled to vote their shares either in person or by proxy at the stockholder meeting.
