RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, it would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities offered by this prospectus, in addition to the other information in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under the heading “Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results” in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under the Securities Exchange Act.

Additional Risks Related to this Offering

 

Our former independent public accountant, Arthur Andersen LLP, has been found guilty of federal obstruction of justice charges and you are unlikely to be able to exercise effective remedies against them in any legal action.

 

Although we have dismissed Arthur Andersen as our independent public accountants and engaged KPMG LLP, our consolidated financial statements as of and for the one-month transition period ended January 31, 2001, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 have only been audited by Arthur Andersen. On March 14, 2002, Arthur Andersen was indicted on federal obstruction of justice charges arising from the government’s investigation of Enron Corporation. On June 15, 2002, a jury in Houston, Texas found Arthur Andersen guilty of these federal obstruction of justice charges. On October 16, 2002, Arthur Andersen was sentenced to five years probation and fined $500,000 as a result. In light of the jury verdict and the underlying events, Arthur Andersen informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that it would cease practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission by August 31, 2002, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission determined another date was appropriate. A spokesperson for Arthur Andersen announced that, as of August 31, 2002, Arthur Andersen voluntarily relinquished, or consented to revocation of, its firm permits in all states where it was licensed to practice public accountancy with state regulators. A substantial number of Arthur Andersen’s personnel have already left the firm, including the individuals responsible for auditing our audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Accordingly, you are unlikely to be able to exercise effective remedies or collect judgments against them.

 

In addition, Arthur Andersen has not consented to the incorporation by reference of their audit report in this prospectus, and we have dispensed with the requirement to file their consent in reliance on Rule 437a under the Securities Act. Because Arthur Andersen has not consented to the incorporation by reference of their audit report in this prospectus, you may not be able to recover against Arthur Andersen under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated in those financial statements.

 

Moreover, as a public company, we are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic financial statements audited or reviewed by an independent public accountant. The Securities and Exchange Commission has said that it will continue accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen on an interim basis so long as a reasonable effort is made to have Arthur Andersen reissue its audit reports and to obtain a manually signed audit report from Arthur Andersen. Arthur Andersen has informed us that it is no longer able to reissue its audit reports because both the partner and the audit manager who were assigned to our account have left the firm. In addition, Arthur Andersen is unable to perform procedures to assure the continued accuracy

Table of Contents

of its audit report on our audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Arthur Andersen will also be unable to perform such procedures or to provide other information or documents that would customarily be received by us or underwriters in connection with financings or other transactions, including consents and “comfort” letters. As a result, we may encounter delays, additional expense and other difficulties in future financings. Any resulting delay in accessing or inability to access the public capital markets could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

The large number of shares available for future sale could adversely affect the market price for our stock.

 

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our common stock, or the availability of shares of our common stock for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Several of our significant stockholders own a substantial number of our shares. As of October 31, 2002 AOL owned 6,726,890 shares of our common stock and presently exercisable warrants to purchase an additional 295,428 shares of our common stock. On October 31, 2002 AOL also held unvested warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,207,806 shares of our common stock, which pursuant to their terms can never be exercisable. As of October 31, 2002, DIRECTV, Inc. owned 3,386,601 shares of our common stock and presently exercisable warrants to purchase an additional 155,941 shares. We have granted DIRECTV demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of their warrants and DIRECTV may sell their shares in registered offerings pursuant to their registration rights, and AOL and DIRECTV may sell their shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

In addition, in August 2001, we issued $51,750,000 aggregate principal amount of our convertible senior notes due 2006. During the period beginning on December 30, 2002 and ending on January 28, 2003, we temporarily reduced the conversion price of the notes from $3.99 per share to $3.70 per share. During this period, $22,701,000 principal amount of the notes were converted by the holders into 6,135,400 shares of our common stock. As of February 4, 2003, there was $20,450,000 in principal amount still outstanding, which were convertible into approximately 5,125,310 shares of our common stock. In connection with the convertible notes offering, we also issued five-year warrants to purchase 2,682,600 shares of our common stock, all of which were still outstanding as of February 4, 2003. The warrants expire on August 28, 2006 and have an exercise price of $7.85 per share. Pursuant to registration rights agreements with the holders of the notes, we have registered the resale of the convertible notes, warrants and shares of common stock issued and issuable upon conversion or exercise of the convertible notes or warrants.

 

As of February 3, 2003, options to purchase a total of 11,496,195 shares were outstanding under our option and equity incentive plans, and there were 10,225,932 shares available for future grants. We have filed registration statements with respect to the shares of common stock issuable under our option and equity incentive plans.

 

Future sales of the shares of the common stock described above, or the registration for sale of such common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The sale of such stock, as well as the existence of outstanding options and shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our option and equity incentive plans, as well as the shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible notes and warrants, also may adversely affect the terms upon which we are able to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any earnings to finance the expansion and development of our business. Any future determination of the payment of dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors based upon various conditions, including our earnings, future prospects, financial condition and capital requirements as well as economic and business conditions and such other factors as the board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Under the terms of the indenture governing our outstanding 7% convertible senior notes due 2006, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividends on, or making any distribution with respect to, our common stock, other than dividends or distributions we make in common stock or of rights pursuant to any stockholders’ rights plan adopted by us.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

On August 28, 2001, we issued $51,750,000 aggregate principal amount of our 7% Convertible Senior Notes due 2006 in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to persons we reasonably believed to be accredited investors as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. During the period beginning on December 30, 2002 and ending on January 28, 2002, the conversion price of the notes was temporarily reduced from $3.99 per share to $3.70 per share pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the notes. During this period, $19,101,000 principal amount of the notes which were “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act were converted into 5,162,428 shares of our common stock. Due to the temporary conversion price reduction, the resale of only 4,787,212 of these shares is covered by our existing resale registration statements on Form S-3 (Nos. 333-69530 and 333-100894). The resale of 375,216 restricted shares is covered by this prospectus.

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the selling stockholders and the number of shares of common stock owned by each selling stockholder that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, the information below is based on information which was provided to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders as of January 28, 2003. The selling stockholders, including their transferees, pledges or donees or their successors, may from time to time, offer all, some or none of the shares of common stock listed in the following table. In addition, the selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their shares of common stock since the date on which they provided the information regarding their holdings. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or some portion of such common stock, we have assumed for purposes of the following table that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus and that no other shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholders will be transferred or otherwise disposed of by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders and their successors, which term includes their transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors, may sell the common stock directly to purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers. These discounts, concessions or commissions as to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at:

 

  ·   fixed prices,

 

  ·   prevailing market prices at the time of sale,

 

  ·   prices related to the prevailing market prices,

 

  ·   varying prices determined at the time of sale, or

 

  ·   negotiated prices.

 

These sales may be effected in transactions:

 

  ·   on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including the Nasdaq National Market,

 

  ·   in the over-the-counter market,

 

  ·   otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market,

 

  ·   through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, or

 

  ·   through the settlement of short sales.

 

These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as agent on both sides of the trade.

 

In connection with the sale of the common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. These broker-dealers or financial institutions may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out such short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them by this prospectus will be the purchase price thereof less discounts and commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

 

Our outstanding common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(l1) of the Securities Act. Profits on the sale

of the common stock by selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any broker-dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(l1) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To the extent the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters,” they may be subject to statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in a distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Regulation M of the Exchange Act may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common stock by the selling stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. The selling stockholders have acknowledged that they understand their obligations to comply with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder relating to stock manipulation, particularly Regulation M, and have agreed that they will not engage in any transaction in violation of such provisions.

 

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling stockholder and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders.

 

A selling stockholder may decide not to sell any of the common stock described in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that any selling stockholder will use this prospectus to sell any or all of the common stock.

 

With respect to a particular offering of the common stock by a transferee of the securities, such that such transferee is not listed under “Selling Stockholders,” to the extent required, a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be prepared and will set forth the following information:

 

  ·   the common stock to be offered and sold,

 

  ·   the names of the selling stockholders,

 

  ·   the respective purchase prices and public offering prices and other material terms of the offering,

 

  ·   the names of any participating agents, broker-dealers or underwriters, and

 

  ·   any applicable commissions, discounts, concessions and other items constituting, compensation from the selling stockholders.

 

We entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of holders of the common stock to register their common stock under applicable federal and state securities laws under certain circumstances and at certain times. The registration rights agreement provides that the selling stockholders and TiVo will indemnify each other and their respective directors, officers and controlling persons against specific liabilities in connection with statements contained in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or in a supplemental registration statement, or will be entitled to contribution in connection with those liabilities.

ITEM 15.    LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

We are a Delaware corporation. Subsection (b)(7) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or any individual serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another organization, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding provided that such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided further that such director, officer, employee or agent had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any present or former director, officer, employee or agent who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such director, officer, employee or agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

II-1


Table of Contents

 

Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for, by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or any individual serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer or employee of another organization, against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of duty of loyalty to Registrant or to its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further states that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is later amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

 

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law and authorizes us to modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our officers and directors. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide, however, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to our contractual obligations to our directors and officers. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that we have the power to indemnify our officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with substantially all of our executive officers and directors, which provide indemnification under certain circumstances for acts and omissions which may not be covered by any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

ITEM 17.    UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price, set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-3


Table of Contents

 

(b)    The undersigned registrant herby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(h)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
