Mechanics of election feature
Each
Sonic

may
be

Exchange offer dynamics
If
the
initial
exchange
offer
and
related
actions
permitted
by
the
agreement
do
not
result
in
Rovi
owning
at
least
90
percent
of
the
outstanding
shares
of
Sonic
common
stock,
the
consideration
paid
to
Sonic
shareholders
in
the
second-step/back-end
merger
may
consist
entirely
of
Rovi
common
stock
at
an
exchange
ratio
of
0.2489
shares
of
Rovi
common
stock.
However,
we
have
no
plans
for
that
happening
because
we
may,
and
are
permitted
to:
Extend the exchange offer
Seek a permit from the CA Department of Corporations to use the same 55%/45% mix in the back-end merger
Close on 49.9% and do a long-form merger with the same 55%/45% mix in the back-end merger
But Sonic shares have traded at a premium to as-if-converted value
Thus, arbs
betting on getting all stock should consider the losses that may be incurred using this strategy
Background of merger (see upcoming filings for further details)
Sonic is the recently formed combination of Sonic and DivX
DivX
noted that it had performed a market check prior to the Sonic combination
Sonic
reported
that
it
performed
a
market
check
prior
to
signing
exclusivity
with
Rovi
Timing –
file TO week of Jan. 10, close initial tender offer week of Feb. 10th, close deal in Q1
Assumes successful exchange and satisfaction of other closing conditions (including anticipated HSR clearance)

15-20% long-term revenue growth (standalone) driven by industry trends and new licenses
Sonic
to

accelerates
High
operating
margins
-
minimal

-
Low COGS –
patent defense & applications, data, & implementation services supporting launches (primarily IPG & CP)
-
Low recurring R&D requirement inherent in patent licensing model
-
But
making
sufficient
R&D
investments
to
drive
new
solutions,
e.g.,
TotalGuide
&
new
patent
development
-
Long technology lifecycles/high ROI
-
Patents generally last 20 years from filing
-
RoxioNow
to suppress margins due to gross revenue recognition and overall lower margin profile
-
But potential synergies could eventually return margins to Rovi-standalone levels
