Rovi Corporation Comments on ISS Recommendation

Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ:ROVI) today issued the following statement in response to the recommendation issued by Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) regarding the election of directors at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held on May 13, 2015.

“We believe Rovi’s seven highly qualified directors are best positioned to continue executing Rovi’s strategic plan and drive value for Rovi stockholders. Our Board has taken deliberate actions to transform Rovi’s leadership, strategy and structure, and we are now well-positioned to leverage our compelling patent portfolio and continue developing next-generation products to drive sustainable returns. Engaged Capital has not articulated a vision or alternative plan for Rovi beyond generic corporate finance strategies, and we strongly disagree with ISS’ recommendation that stockholders vote for Engaged Capital nominees Raghavendra Rau and Glenn Welling. While we understand ISS has a history of supporting dissidents, we believe that supporting Engaged Capital’s slate of nominees, none of whom have compelling track records or expertise, is not in the best interests of our stockholders. We trust our stockholders will make an independent assessment in deciding the best path forward for Rovi.”

Rovi’s Board of Directors and management team intend to provide a more detailed response shortly. Rovi encourages its stockholders to vote the BLUE proxy card.
