Safe Harbor Statement

All

statements

contained

herein,

as

well

as

oral

statements

that

may

be

made

by

Rovi

Corporation

(the

“Company”)

or by officers, directors or employees of the Company acting on the Company’s behalf, that are not statements of

historical

fact,

including

but

not

limited

to

any

description

of

the

Company’s

or

its

management’s

future

plans,

objectives,

or

goals,

constitute

“forward-looking

statements”

and

are

made

pursuant

to

the

Safe-Harbor

provisions

of

the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause

the actual results of the Company to be materially different from the historical results and/or from any future results or

outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the

Company’s estimates of future revenues, earnings and growth rates, business strategies, the Company’s

assumptions

and

estimates

relating

to

guide

advertising,

the

Company’

ability

to

pay

down

its

debt,

whether

markets

materialize as anticipated and customer demand for the Company’s technologies and integrated offerings. Such

factors

also

include

the

expected

timetable

and

structure

of

the

transaction

between

the

Company

and

Sonic

Solutions, the transaction’s anticipated strategic and financial benefits; and the potential impacts of the transaction on

both the Company’s and Sonic’s

organizations. The statements made by the Company in this document are based

upon current expectations and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ

materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the

satisfaction of closing conditions for the acquisition, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of

common stock of Sonic Solutions; market conditions; the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the

Company’s and Sonic’s

respective businesses; the impact of any failure to complete the exchange offer and the

merger; the risk that the Company will not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition; the potential inability to

successfully operate or integrate Sonic’s

business and expand product offerings as a result thereof; general industry

and

economic

conditions;

and

other

factors

beyond

the

companies’

control.

Such

factors

are

further

addressed

in

the

Company’s

Report

on

Form

10-Q

for

the

period

ended

September

30,

2010

and

other

documents

as

are

filed

with

the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time (available at www.sec.gov). The Company assumes no

obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or

circumstances that may arise after the date of this presentation.

One Final Reminder…

While Rovi

& Sonic continue actively planning for the

integration of the companies during this pre-closing

period, it is important that:

The companies operate as two separate and independent

companies until the close of the transaction

The transfer of competitively sensitive information must take

place only in the context of integration planning, with access

given to only a limited number of cleared employees
