The company, formerly known as Gemstar International Group Limited, was founded in 1992. It changed its name to Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc. in
2000 and is based in Los Angeles. It is best known as the publisher of TV Guide Magazine.
This acquisition will enable the combined company to offer solutions that have a transformative effect in the way consumers discover, acquire, manage and enjoy
content. This transaction will help the combined company address the interoperability, content and integration challenges that have restricted the industry until
today.
• Macrovision can enhance Gemstar-TV Guide’s market opportunity as well as integrate Macrovision’s platform with Gemstar-TV Guide’s guidance,
improving the offerings to this market segment.
• Integration of Gemstar-TV Guide’s data services with Macrovision’s recently announced pending acquisition of AMG can provide a more complete
solution for the market.
• Gemstar-TV Guide’s MSO and DBS customers will benefit from the integration of protection and standards-based connected platform with
guidance technology.
Q. Is the purchase of Gemstar-TV Guide solely motivated by Macrovision’s desire to access its patent portfolio, IP and licensing deals?
A: No, Macrovision’s motivation is to provide a broader set of solutions to content producers, distribution channels and device manufacturers to enable end users
to discover, acquire, manage and enjoy their content virtually anytime, any place.
The consideration for Gemstar-TV Guide shares will be comprised of 56 percent cash and 44 percent shares in the new holding company.
Q: How will the Gemstar- TV Guide’s executive team be integrated into Macrovision Corporation?
A: Fred Amoroso will be Chief Executive Officer and President of the combined company and James Budge will serve as Chief Financial Officer. The new
Board of Directors will be comprised of four members to be designated by Macrovision and three members to be designated by Gemstar-TV Guide. Upon close
of the transaction, Gemstar-TV Guide CEO Rich Battista and CFO Bedi Singh will be leaving the organization. Macrovision will carefully evaluate the
management structure of the new organization and will make additional announcements as information becomes available.
Macrovision and Gemstar-TV Guide bring together a unique combination of assets that will enable a broad set of partners the ability to enhance the consumer
experience by providing the tools to discover, acquire, manage and enjoy content virtually anytime, anywhere and thus drive new revenue opportunities for their
businesses.
The goal is to build upon and advance the capabilities of both companies and approach the market with a solution orientation.
• Guidance Technology – a leading interactive program guide (IPG) technology, intellectual property, as well as an extensive customer base including
consumer electronics manufacturers, system operators, direct broadcast satellite broadcasters and online service providers.
• Connected Services – Tools and infrastructure for the delivery of content and related services directly to end users for the improvement of a home
media environment both through enhancing the experience and providing content delivery. Current examples include MyTVguide services (e.g.,
personalization, recommendations, ad serving, click stream analysis, notifications) and device registration. Future examples could be video delivery,
internet radio and music services.
• Data Services – a broad set of metadata describing television shows, music, movies, and video games, including editorial content, relationship/cross
references (e.g., this song was in that movie, this singer also sang for that group). Additionally, the metadata encompasses images, clips, and
samples.
• Connected Platform – technologies embedded into devices enabling them to interoperate with other media-aware devices, resulting in an open
environment for secure distribution of digital media and content services. Support key open standards such as DLNA and UPnP.
• Content Protection – key technology and intellectual property for protecting analog and digital standard and high-definition video content.
• Consumer Sites – consumer facing websites providing users among the most detailed information television, music, movie, and games available.
Q. What are the practicalities and the processes over the next months prior to the final acquisition date, e.g., do we operate as normal or do we adjust
operations?
A. It is important, and a legal requirement, that Macrovision and the Gemstar-TV Guide teams continue to operate as independent organizations up to the close
date of the transaction. However, during this period a tremendous amount of planning will be conducted between the two management teams to prepare for the
close date and integration.
Communications/Branding
Q: How and when will this news be communicated to our customers and partners?
A: A customer letter will be posted on the Macrovision website and distributed and provide to key account managers to contact customers to handle concerns and
questions.
Q. What if we receive calls from outside of the company, what should we say?
A: If you are contacted by any member of the media or analyst community, please do not provide any comment or answer any questions. Please direct all calls to
Carolyn Newburn, cnewburn@macrovision.com.
Q: Does Macrovision intend to keep the Gemstar-TV Guide brand name intact?
A: The TV Guide brand is among the best known brands in the US, a strong publishing brand and a valuable franchise. Macrovision will be evaluating the future
role of the brand, however, there are no plans at this time to eliminate or change the brand as associated with key entertainment properties.
