Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Completion of Separation of Xperi Inc. from Adeia Inc.
On October 1, 2022 (the "Distribution Date"), the previously-announced spin-off
(the "Spin-Off") of the product business of Adeia Inc. (formerly known as Xperi
Holding Corporation) ("Adeia") into Xperi Inc. (the "Company" or "Xperi Inc."),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Adeia, was completed. The Spin-Off was achieved
through Adeia's distribution (the "Distribution") of 100% of the shares of Xperi
Inc.'s common stock to holders of Adeia's common stock as of the close of
business on the record date of September 21, 2022 (the "Record Date"). Each
Adeia stockholder of record received four shares of Xperi Inc. common stock for
every ten shares of Adeia common stock that it held on the Record Date.
Following the Distribution, Xperi Inc. became an independent, publicly-traded
company with its common stock listed under the symbol "XPER" on the New York
Stock Exchange, and Adeia retains no ownership interest in Xperi Inc.
In connection with the Spin-Off, Xperi Inc. entered into several agreements with
Adeia on the Distribution Date that, among other things, effect the Spin-Off and
provide a framework for Xperi Inc.'s relationship with Adeia after the Spin-Off,
including the following agreements:
• Separation and Distribution Agreement;
• Tax Matters Agreement;
• Employee Matters Agreement;
• Cross Business License Agreement;
• Transition Services Agreement; and
• Data Sharing Agreement.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
The separation and distribution agreement ("Separation and Distribution
Agreement") governs the overall terms of the Spin-Off. Generally, the Separation
and Distribution Agreement includes Adeia's and Xperi Inc.'s agreement relating
to the principal actions taken to complete the Spin-Off, including the assets
and rights transferred, liabilities assumed and related matters. It also sets
forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of Adeia's relationship with
Xperi Inc. following the Spin-Off. The description of the Separation and
Distribution Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Separation and
Distribution Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated by
reference herein.
Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities. The Separation and
Distribution Agreement identifies assets and liabilities to be allocated to each
of Adeia and Xperi Inc. as part of the separation. The allocation of
employee-related liabilities (including pension liabilities) and related assets
is set forth in the employee matters agreement (see the section below entitled
"Employee Matters Agreement" for a summary of such allocation) and the
allocation of tax liabilities and assets is set forth in the tax matters
agreement (see the section below entitled "Tax Matters Agreement" for a summary
of such allocation). In particular, the Separation and Distribution Agreement
provides that, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Separation
and Distribution Agreement:
Assets
• Generally, assets primarily related to the product business are assigned
to or retained by Xperi Inc.;
• Xperi Inc. is allocated the equity interests of subsidiaries that are
intended to be Xperi Inc.'s subsidiaries after the distribution;
• Xperi Inc. accepts or retains certain real property set forth on a
schedule and Adeia accepts or retains certain real property set forth on
a schedule;
. . .
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On the Distribution Date, Adeia completed the Spin-Off effective as of 12:01
a.m. Eastern Time and the common stock of Xperi Inc. was distributed, on a pro
rata basis, to Adeia's stockholders of record as of the close of business on the
Record Date. On the Distribution Date, each of the stockholders of Adeia
received four shares of Xperi Inc.'s common stock for every ten shares of
Adeia's common stock held by such stockholder on the Record Date. Fractional
shares of Xperi Inc. common stock were not delivered in the Distribution. Any
fractional share of Xperi Inc. common stock otherwise issuable to an Adeia
stockholder was sold in the open market on such stockholder's behalf, and such
stockholder will receive a cash payment for the fractional share based on the
stockholder's pro rata portion of the net cash proceeds from sales of all
fractional shares.
The Spin-Off was completed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution
Agreement. The description of the Separation and Distribution Agreement is
included under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Separation
and Distribution Agreement attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.01.
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.
Xperi Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adeia immediately prior to the
Distribution. On October 1, 2022, Adeia completed the Distribution of 100% of
the outstanding capital stock of Xperi Inc. to holders of Adeia common stock on
the Record Date. Adeia holders of record on the Record Date received four shares
of Xperi Inc. common stock for every ten shares of Adeia common stock. Following
completion of the Distribution, Xperi Inc. became an independent,
publicly-traded company, and Adeia retains no ownership interest in Xperi Inc.
