Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the Rovi Merger (as defined in Item 5.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K), Rovi Corporation (“Rovi”) and TiVo Corporation (formerly known as Titan Technologies Corporation) (“Parent”) executed a supplemental indenture dated as of September 7, 2016 (the “Rovi Supplemental Indenture”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (“U.S. Bank”), to the indenture dated as of March 4, 2015 between Rovi and U.S. Bank relating to Rovi’s 0.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Rovi Notes”), as supplemented by the Rovi Supplemental Indenture (the “Rovi Indenture”). Pursuant to the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, Parent agreed to fully and unconditionally guaranty the obligations of Rovi under the Rovi Indenture (the “Guaranty”). The Rovi Supplemental Indenture provides that, at and after the effective time of the Rovi Merger, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Rovi Notes into shares of Rovi Common Stock (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 28, 2016, by and among Rovi, TiVo Inc. (now known as TiVo Solutions Inc.) (“TiVo”), Parent, Nova Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Nova”) and Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Titan”)) will be changed into the right to convert such principal amount of such Rovi Notes into shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at the same conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Rovi Merger.

The Rovi Indenture provides for customary events of default which are applicable to the Guaranty. Those customary events of default, which are set forth in Article 6 of the Rovi Indenture, include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants in the Rovi Indenture, payment defaults of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy. Generally, if an event of default occurs, U.S. Bank or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Rovi Notes may declare the Rovi Notes to be immediately due and payable.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In addition, in connection with the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, Parent guaranteed certain obligations of Rovi under its convertible note hedge transactions, which were also amended to cover the delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock, and the warrant transactions, which were also amended to be exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth under Item 5.01 below is incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above concerning the entry into the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, under Item 5.01 below concerning the conversion of issued and outstanding Rovi Common Stock into Parent Common Stock and the assumption by Parent of Rovi Stock Options, Rovi Restricted Stock Awards and Rovi RSUs (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) and under Item 5.03 below concerning the amendment and restatement of Rovi’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws is incorporated by reference in response to this item.

A copy of the Merger Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Rovi’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2016 and is incorporated by reference herein.
