(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/26/14 -- TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO) Represents a significant portion of current cash & short-term investments TiVo intends to repurchase the first $100 million of stock during current fiscal year with the remainder in the next two fiscal years TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), a leader in the advanced television entertainment market, today announced a new $350 million share repurchase plan.



Tom Rogers, President and CEO of TiVo, said, "On the capital allocation front, we have made meaningful progress in our efforts to deploy our significant cash resources to drive value. We are taking another step forward by announcing a new $350 million stock repurchase program, representing a significant portion of our current cash & short-term investments. This decision was a product of our thorough assessment of numerous capital deployment opportunities and the continued view that our business has significant upside potential as we continue to innovate and drive subscription growth." These new share repurchases are planned to occur through January 31, 2017, with the intention to repurchase the first $100 million of stock during TiVo's current fiscal year ending January 31, 2015. The new repurchase plan will replace TiVo's prior authorization. As of July 31, 2014, TiVo had purchased a total of $214.2 million of common stock under the prior repurchase program and the new plan upon completion will bring total repurchases upon completion to well over half a billion dollars, which is expected to significantly reduce the number of TiVo shares outstanding.

Repurchases may be made from time-to-time via open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchases, and pre-planned trading programs, and may be discontinued without prior notice.
