 Item 5.02.     Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 9, 2012, TiVo Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that described, among other items, the approved terms of a new three-year employment package for the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Rogers. The following revised description of Mr. Rogers' new employment package amends and clarifies the prior Form 8-K with respect to the elimination of the gross-up for any taxes owed by Mr. Rogers under Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to any new equity awards made to Mr. Rogers after fiscal year 2015.
On April 3, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved, and on September 13, 2012 reviewed and ratified, the terms of a three-year employment package for President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Rogers. At least 50% of Mr. Rogers' equity compensation from his employment package will be contingent on the Company's future performance in addition to Mr. Rogers' annual bonus. The approved terms include an annual base salary of $1.15 million and a target annual bonus equal to 100% of his annual base salary, with a potential for 0 - 200% of the target. There are no allowances or retention bonuses under the agreement. Annual equity awards in the amounts of 500,000, 550,000 and 600,000 shares of restricted stock will be awarded in fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The fiscal year 2013 award of 500,000 shares of restricted stock will be split with 50% of the award vesting in three equal annual installments based on continued service and 50% vesting in the next four years upon achievement of either a specified performance goal related to share price appreciation or a specified financial performance metric. At least 50% of the fiscal year 2014 and 2015 awards will be performance-based, with the actual award mix and goals for future awards to be determined at the 2014 and 2015 grant dates. Mr. Rogers will receive an annual award of 75,000 cash-settled restricted stock units in each of the three years in recognition of the Company's past litigation performance. Each such grant will vest in equal annual installments over three years. In the event of a change in control of the Company, Mr. Rogers' performance-vesting awards will convert to time-based vesting in equal annual installments over four years from the date of grant, based on Mr. Rogers' continued service to the Company. Upon a qualifying termination, including in connection with a change in control or other termination as specified in Mr. Rogers' employment agreement, Mr. Rogers will be entitled to accelerated vesting of all these time- and performance-based grants that have been granted and will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the value of any of the awards of shares of restricted stock or cash-settled restricted stock units that, as of the date of such qualifying termination, have not been granted.
Additionally, Mr. Rogers has agreed to eliminate any gross-ups for any taxes owed by Mr. Rogers under Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code for equity awards granted to him after fiscal year 2015. Mr. Rogers' amended and restated change of control agreement with the Company, effective as of September 16, 2008, otherwise remains unchanged.
The foregoing description of Mr. Rogers' amended employment package is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of his amended and restated employment agreement and amended and restated change of control agreement which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ending October 31, 2012 and are incorporated by reference herein.

EXHIBIT 99.1
STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The TiVo Board of Directors announced today that it has entered into a new, three year employment agreement with its CEO, Tom Rogers. The Board issued the following statement.
“This new agreement recognizes that TiVo has entered into a pivotal period, as it optimizes its unique mix of intellectual property, consumer electronics know how, cable and satellite software development, and audience research data and ad solutions. Tom Rogers' leadership is a critical ingredient to TiVo's growing momentum and the transformation the Company has undergone.”
“Under Rogers' leadership, TiVo's team of talented professionals has transformed this unique hybrid media/technology company in four major areas: First, TiVo has turned the corner and is gaining subscribers after a prolonged period of subscriber loss. Second, TiVo's legal team has successfully begun the significant, on-going process of defending the Company's intellectual property, resulting in the collection and commitment of more than $800 million to date (with more legal actions pending). Third, TiVo's engineering efforts are leading the way for cable and satellite operators in the US and internationally to provide live, recorded, video-on-demand and over-the-top content in a single, fully integrated viewer experience. And fourth, the TiVo team has substantially improved the financial performance of the Company, including a transformation of the balance sheet.”
“By entering into this agreement, the Board of Directors is expressing its confidence in Rogers' leadership of the TiVo team, while aligning the ongoing interests of shareholders and management during this important period. The Board looks forward to working with Tom as he leads the Company in building an even better future for its shareholders, its customers, its employees, and television viewers around the world.”
