• TiVo's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per common share, to be paid on March 15, 2017, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2017. TiVo's Board believes it can reward its stockholders with a meaningful quarterly dividend, while maintaining ample capacity for the company to invest in the business, pursue its long term growth aspirations, and consider additional capital allocation alternatives such as opportunistic stock repurchases. On that front, the Board also increased the Company's stock repurchase program authorization to $150 million. Pursuant to its strategy of allocating excess capital to the highest risk-adjusted return alternative available, the Board will continue to regularly review all available capital allocation opportunities.
