On January 27, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of InterDigital, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) that became effective on the same date. The amendments include the following:

| |
• | the removal of language from Section 2.2 of the Bylaws that does not apply to “registered corporations,” like the Company, under the Pennsylvania BCL; |
| |
• | the revision of Section 2.4 of the Bylaws to conform to current business practices and provide InterDigital with the flexibility to communicate with its shareholders through electronic means; |
| |
• | the addition of language to Section 7.1 of the Bylaws to clarify the agents already covered by the indemnification provision and to make the language in subsections (a) and (h) of such section consistent; and |
| |
• | certain immaterial clean-up and conforming changes to the Bylaws, including without limitation conforming the use of terms throughout the Bylaws. |
This summary of the amendments to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, as amended and restated, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
