The CTI Board also resolved on October 30, 2012, in CTI’s capacity as the sole stockholder of the Company, to appoint Henry R. Nothhaft to fill the remaining vacancy on the Company Board and the other members of the Company Board appointed him to serve as Chairman.

Mr. Nothhaft is also the author of “Great Again: Revitalizing America’s Entrepreneurial Leadership,” a business policy book published in 2010 by Harvard Business Review Press. Prior to joining TESSERA, Mr. Nothhaft served as chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Danger Inc., a software company for wireless service providers from October 2002 to April 2008 when it was sold to Microsoft Corporation. From May 2001 to October 2002, he served as president and chief executive officer of Endforce, an IP software company, where he remained non-executive chairman of the board from October 2002 to March 2005. Mr. Nothhaft joined Concentric Network Corporation, a recognized market leader in Enterprise Virtual Private Networks, high-speed access and electronic commerce enabled web hosting, as president and chief executive officer in 1995, and became chairman of the board in 1998. Mr. Nothhaft led Concentric to a successful initial public offering, resulting in the listing of that company on the NASDAQ in August 1997. In June 2000, Concentric merged with Nextlink and became XO Communications, Inc., with Mr. Nothhaft serving as vice chairman until April 2001. From 1989 to 1994, Mr. Nothhaft was president and chief executive officer of David Systems, a data networking equipment firm, until it was sold to Chipcom Corporation. From 1983 to 1989, he held various executive positions and served on the Board of Directors of DSC Communications Corporation, a telecommunications company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets digital switching, access, transport and private network system products for the worldwide telecommunications marketplace. From 1979 to 1983, Mr. Nothhaft was vice president of marketing and sales for GTE Telenet Communications Corporation (now Sprint), the first public data network provider in the U.S. Mr. Nothhaft currently serves on the board of directors of Unwired Planet, Inc. (from October 2011) and as the chairman of the boards of directors of Vantage Data Centers (from June 2012) and SPTS Technologies (from November 2011). Mr. Nothhaft previously served on the boards of directors of a number of public and private companies, including DSC Communications Corporation (formerly known as Digital Switch Corporation), Openwave Systems, Inc., Ocular Networks, VMX, Inc. and XO Communications, Inc. He received an M.B.A. in Information Systems Technology from George Washington University and a B.S. with distinction in Politics & Economics from the U.S. Naval Academy, and is a former officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. Mr. Nothhaft has also completed the Stanford Law School’s executive education training on corporate governance and the AEA executive M.B.A. program at Stanford University.

Mr. Nothhaft brings over 35 years of leadership experience running technology companies to his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Additionally, Mr. Nothhaft is a recognized spokesperson on IP related matters and his broad industry knowledge and management acumen serve as critical resources for our Board of Directors. A serial entrepreneur, Mr. Nothhaft’s proven ability to grow pioneering start-ups, such as Concentric Network Corp., DSC Communications and GTE Telenet Communications (now Sprint), into mature industry leaders is crucial to the implementation of our strategic vision.

(e) In accordance with previously disclosed terms of the Spin-Off, our executive officers received equity compensation awards in replacement of previously outstanding awards of restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and stock options granted under various CTI stock incentive plans prior to the Spin-Off (the “Replacement Grants”). The Replacement Grants were granted under the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, which was filed as Exhibit 10.26 to the Registration Statement on Form 10 filed by the Company with the SEC on August 15, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference. Except as described in the section titled “Share Distribution- Treatment of Stock-Based Awards” of the Company’s Information Statement, which description is incorporated herein by reference (and which sets forth the manner in which the Replacement Grants were determined), all terms of the Replacement Grants are substantially the same as the terms of the prior CTI awards. The Replacement Grants were determined on the same basis for our executive officers as for our employees generally who held outstanding CTI equity compensation awards prior to the Spin-Off. The forms of Award Agreements for the Replacement Awards, the Restricted Stock Unit, Deferred Stock Unit, and Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreements, are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the resolution of the Company Board, Company’s amended and restated Bylaws became effective immediately prior to the Spin-Off (as so amended and restated, the “Bylaws”).
