TESSERA TECHNOLOGIES FILES INVESTOR PRESENTATION WITH THE SEC

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 25, 2013 — Tessera Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSRA) (“Tessera” or the “Company”) today filed a presentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will be using with stockholders in advance of its Annual Meeting to be held on May 23, 2013.

The presentation discusses in detail the Company’s strategies to improve performance and fortify its financial profile. Among other things, the presentation outlines Tessera’s progress in positioning itself to capture the significant and evolving market opportunities for both business units, the merits of its highly experienced slate of director nominees, and its blueprint for increasing value and returning that value to stockholders over time.

Starboard Value LP, an activist hedge fund led by Peter Feld and Jeffrey Smith, owning approximately 7.6% of Tessera, is seeking complete control of the Board by replacing all six of the Company’s directors standing for reelection, a step the Company strongly believes will disrupt its progress on key initiatives currently underway.

Please refer to the investor relations section of the Tessera website for the full presentation.
