XPERI CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CEO TRANSITION; NAMES JON KIRCHNER TO SUCCEED TOM LACEY

San Jose, Calif., (BUSINESS WIRE) – Xperi Corporation (NASDAQ: XPER) (“Xperi” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Jon Kirchner, currently President of Xperi, as Chief Executive Officer, effective June 1, 2017. Mr. Kirchner will succeed Tom Lacey, who informed the board of his desire to retire as CEO of Xperi and from the Board of Directors. Mr. Lacey will remain with the Company as an advisor through the end of the year, with a focus on the Company’s IP licensing business.

Mr. Kirchner has extensive technology leadership experience, including almost two decades leading DTS, Inc., which was acquired by Xperi in December 2016. Under Kirchner’s leadership, DTS grew from a small startup to a leading audio technology enterprise, serving the global cinema, home, mobile and automotive markets. Mr. Kirchner assumes leadership of Xperi at a time of increasing opportunity for audio, imaging and semiconductor packaging solutions as the world moves toward ubiquitous, smart, connected devices and enhanced consumer experiences.

“Jon has an outstanding track record of business success and his experience with DTS makes him uniquely qualified to lead Xperi into the future,” said Rick Hill chairman of the Board of Directors. “Since joining Xperi through the DTS acquisition, Jon has established himself as a respected leader within our organization and is the ideal person to take Xperi forward and ensure we capitalize on the many opportunities that lay ahead for our business.”

“Xperi is in a unique position to deliver integrated solutions that enable a transformative consumer experience through the continued innovation of sight, sound and packaging solutions,” said Kirchner. “The combination of an exciting opportunity on the product and technology side of the business, coupled with the incredible strength of our team, track record and asset portfolio on the IP licensing side, is a fantastic foundation upon which to build a great future. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead such a talented global team.”

Commenting on Mr. Lacey’s departure, Mr. Hill said: “Tom has made an immense contribution to Xperi. He joined the Company during a difficult time and successfully transformed the business, strengthening its core as an IP licensor and further expanding its scope to include a product, technology and customer-focused business. The board and I wish to thank him for his many contributions to the company and sincerely wish him the best in his next chapter.”
