“On May 2, 2008, the Issuer closed the previously announced transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, News Corporation disposed of its entire interest in the Issuer’s Common Stock in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $637 million, which represents a market value of $6.35 per share for 100,239,620 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on the effective date of the merger and 19,031,484 shares of Macrovision Solutions Corporation (“Macrovision Solutions”) common stock, which represents a value of 0.2548 of a share of Macrovision Solutions common stock for 74,691,854 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, excluding fractional shares. The merger results in the divestiture of the Reporting Persons’ entire interest in the Issuer, and the Reporting Persons are no longer the beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.”
