ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On December 21, 2001, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement which,
under certain circumstances, may allow us to sell to Acqua Wellington North
American Equities Fund, Ltd. up to $14,000,000 of our common stock over the next
14 months. We view this purchase agreement as an auxiliary financing tool with
the potential to provide us with an efficient and flexible mechanism to raise
small amounts of incremental cash to fund our working capital needs, depending
upon the market price of our common stock and certain other conditions set forth
in the purchase agreement.
The purchase agreement provides that any stock we sell pursuant to the purchase
agreement will be sold at a discount to the market price at the time of the sale
of between 3% to 5.4%. The amount and timing of each sale of common stock under
the purchase agreement will be at our discretion. The shares of common stock
which we may sell pursuant to the purchase agreement are registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (File No. 333-53152).
We expect to use the net proceeds from any sales of our common stock under the
purchase agreement for general corporate purposes, which may include funding
research, development, sales and marketing, increasing our working capital,
reducing indebtedness, and capital expenditures Pending the application of the
net proceeds, we expect to invest the proceeds in investment-grade, interest-
bearing securities.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms
of the common stock purchase agreement, dated as of December 21, 2001, by and
between TiVo Inc. and Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd., which
is incorporated herein by reference. The common stock purchase agreement is
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
