EXPLANATORY NOTE
OpenTV Corp. (“OpenTV”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Form 10-K/A”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Form 10-K”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2010. The purpose of this Form 10-K/A is to disclose the information required in Part III, Items 10 through 14 and Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K. Accordingly, OpenTV hereby amends and replaces in their entirety Items 10 through 14 of the Form 10-K. Except as described above, this Form 10-K/A does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Form 10-K, including any of the financial information disclosed in Parts II and IV of the Form 10-K.
On February 19, 2010, Kudelski SA, together with two of its subsidiaries, which collectively owned ordinary shares as of such time representing more than 90% of the outstanding voting power of OpenTV, delivered a written notice to OpenTV pursuant to Section 176 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended, the “BVI Act”) directing OpenTV to redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than Class A ordinary shares held by Kudelski and those two subsidiaries). Pursuant to the BVI Act, upon the receipt of such written instructions OpenTV became obligated to redeem all of such outstanding Class A ordinary shares. Accordingly, on February 24, 2010, OpenTV announced the redemption of all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, other than such shares held by Kudelski and two of its subsidiaries, for $1.55 per share. OpenTV completed the redemption at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 26, 2010, and the Class A ordinary shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market at such time, subject to the negotiation and potential appraisal process to be completed with respect to dissenting shareholders. We refer to this transaction as the “Redemption.”

Board Composition
In considering whether to recommend a prospective nominee for selection by the board, including candidates recommended by shareholders, the compensation and nominating committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. However, OpenTV believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the board to fulfill its responsibilities.
Board Leadership Structure
Our board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer). André Kudelski holds the position of Chairman of the Board and leads our board and board meetings. Nigel W. Bennett holds the position of Chief Executive Officer and leads our management team.
Risk Oversight Policies
Our board is responsible for establishing risk oversight policies. Our management team is tasked with implementing these policies and managing our risk profile on a daily basis. The audit committee also meets regularly in executive session without management present to, among other things, discuss OpenTV’s risk management culture and process. As part of its charter, the audit committee is responsible for, among other things, discussing OpenTV’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
In accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations of the SEC, our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our ordinary shares are required to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market and to furnish us with copies of all of the reports they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us and written representations from the reporting persons, we are unaware of any failures during 2009 to file Forms 3, 4 or 5 or any failures to file such forms on a timely basis.
3
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers. Our code of conduct constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the “code of conduct” under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. Our code of conduct is available on our website at www.opentv.com.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
Messrs. Auvil, Deiss and Machovina are the members of our audit committee, and Mr. Auvil serves as chairman of the audit committee. Each of the members of the audit committee meets the applicable independence rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the SEC, as such rules and regulations exist on the date of this Form 10-K/A, and each is financially literate as determined by our board of directors in light of applicable regulatory standards. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Auvil is a “financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules and regulations.
Item 11. | Executive Compensation |
The following sections set forth information relating to, and analysis and discussion of, compensation paid by OpenTV to:
| • | | Nigel W. Bennett, who was appointed as Chief Executive Officer in March 2008 and served as our Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer between August 2007 and March 2008; |
| • | | Shum Mukherjee, who served as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer during the year ended December 31, 2009; and |
| • | | Mark Beariault, Michael Ivanchenko and Joel Zdepski, our three other most highly compensated executive officers as of December 31, 2009. |
We collectively refer to these executive officers as our “named executive officers.”
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Overview; Principles
The compensation and nominating committee of our board of directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and regularly monitoring adherence to the principles by which OpenTV determines compensation of its executive officers. Those principles seek to align the long-term interests of our company’s executive officers with those of our shareholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating and rewarding our executives in an effort to increase shareholder value. To that end, the compensation packages provided to our named executive officers generally include cash, equity and performance-based incentive compensation.
The compensation and nominating committee seeks to formulate a compensation package for each executive officer that is commensurate with the responsibilities and proven performance of that executive, and that is competitive relative to the compensation packages paid to executive officers with comparable experience, duties and responsibilities at other companies that are similarly situated in terms of industry, geography and financial position. The compensation and nominating committee believes that OpenTV’s compensation packages must be designed and maintained at levels that enable OpenTV to attract and retain key executive officers who are considered critical to our long-term success.
The compensation and nominating committee did not retain a compensation consultant to advise it in connection with its determination of the compensation paid to the named executive officers in 2009.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions
Although the compensation package of each named executive officer is within the discretion of and determined by the compensation and nominating committee and the board of directors, recommendations are obtained from the Chief Executive Officer as to each named executive officer’s total compensation package (other than that of the Chief Executive Officer). The Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations are based on his evaluation of the performance and contributions of the other named executive officers, given their respective areas of responsibility. When making recommendations, the Chief Executive Officer considers various qualitative factors such as:
| • | | named executive officer’s experience and overall effectiveness, including achievement of individual performance goals and contribution to the achievement of OpenTV’s goals; |
| • | | responsibilities assumed by the named executive officer, including as a result of any promotion; |
| • | | named executive officer’s demonstrated leadership and management ability; |
| • | | named executive officer’s compensation relative to other executive officers at our company and at other companies that are similarly situated in terms of industry, geography and financial position; |
| • | | named executive officer’s years of service with our company; and |
| • | | overall performance of the group for which the named executive officer is primarily responsible. |
Setting Executive Compensation
In making its compensation decision for each named executive officer, the compensation and nominating committee considers the following:
| • | | each element of the named executive officer’s historical compensation, including salary, bonus, equity and perquisites and other personal benefits; |
| • | | financial performance of our company compared to internal forecasts and budgets; |
| • | | scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities; |
| • | | performance of the group reporting to the named executive officer; |
| • | | compensation packages paid to executives with comparable experience, duties and responsibilities at other companies, based on broad-based data provided by third-party advisory firms, such as Radford, with a base salary range between the 45th and 75th percentiles derived from companies that were similarly situated in terms of geography (Northern California), amount of annual revenues (under $200 million) and industry (software products and services); and |
| • | | as to each named executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer), the performance evaluations and compensation recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer. |
Elements of Executive Compensation
The principal components of compensation for the named executive officers include:
| • | | annual bonuses designed to reward achievement of individual and company performance goals; |
| • | | equity incentive compensation; |
5
| • | | matching contributions under our 401(k) plan; and |
| • | | benefits under our health and welfare benefits plans. |
Base Salary. The compensation and nominating committee reviews the base salaries of the named executive officers on an annual basis, as well as at the time of a promotion or other change in responsibilities. Historically, after establishing a named executive officer’s base salary, the compensation and nominating committee has limited increases to adjustments based primarily on the following:
| • | | an evaluation of a named executive officer’s job performance, including OpenTV’s overall achievement of its financial and strategic goals and the contributions of the named executive officer toward OpenTV’s achievement of such goals, as discussed between the compensation and nominating committee and the Chief Executive Officer; |
| • | | a review of comparative market data compiled from third-party advisory firms, such as Radford, concerning other companies that are similarly situated in terms of industry, geography and financial condition; |
| • | | a review and comparison of the salary levels of the members of OpenTV’s management team to ensure, where appropriate, parity and fairness; and |
| • | | any changes in the scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities or duties since the date of the last salary adjustments to ensure, where appropriate, that the salary levels are commensurate with the level of responsibility assumed by the named executive officer. |
Bonus. Individual bonuses paid to our named executive officers are determined by the compensation and nominating committee annually and are intended to serve both as an incentive for achieving individual and company performance goals and as a retention mechanism. Target bonuses for our senior vice presidents and above, other than the Chief Executive Officer, are generally 35% of their annual base salary. Pursuant to his employment agreement, the target bonus amount for the Chief Executive Officer was established as $300,000 in 2008, but such target amount may change in subsequent years within the discretion of the compensation and nominating committee. The committee retains the discretion to award actual bonus amounts that are greater or less than the respective target bonus amounts based on individual and company performance and the other factors described elsewhere in this section.
In August 2007, our board of directors approved the adoption of the 2007 Management Bonus Plan, which was a special bonus plan designed both to better align management with certain profitability targets established by our board of directors and as a management retention mechanism following the change in control of our company in January 2007. Participants in the 2007 Management Bonus Plan included our named executive officers, as well as other members of management. The profitability targets were based on cumulative net income of OpenTV, as measured over any four consecutive fiscal quarters during the period commencing April 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2009, with cumulative net income being based on net income as publicly reported in the financial statements of OpenTV, subject to certain exclusions. The plan provided for bonus awards, comprised of a combination of a cash amount and a grant of restricted Class A ordinary shares pursuant to OpenTV’s 2005 Incentive Plan. The 2007 Management Bonus Plan provided for the vesting of the restricted shares and the right to receive the cash component, in each case on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the following schedule: (i) 62.5% upon our achievement of cumulative net income equal to or greater than zero, (ii) 12.5% upon our achievement of cumulative net income equal to or greater than $4,000,000, and (iii) 25% upon our achievement of cumulative net income equal to or greater than $6,000,000. All of the profitability targets under the 2007 Management Bonus Plan were achieved in May 2008, at which time restrictions as to the restricted shares lapsed and plan participants became eligible to receive payment of the cash component of the bonus awards.
For 2009, the compensation and nominating committee adopted an employee bonus plan that provided for bonus awards for our employees, including our named executive officers, based on individual target bonus amounts that generally range from 5% to 35% of annual base salary, depending upon the level of employee. Actual bonus
6
awards are determined in the discretion of the compensation and nominating committee and are based on achievement of individual and company performance goals, performance of the group in which the employee works and other factors deemed relevant by the committee. In making its determination concerning individual bonus awards (other than in respect of the bonus award for the Chief Executive Officer), the committee considers the performance evaluations and compensation recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer. In making its determination concerning the bonus award for the Chief Executive Officer, the committee considers the performance evaluation and compensation recommendation of the Chairman of the Board.
Performance criteria for the 2009 bonus awards were initially established by the committee in March 2009 and were comprised of both objective and subjective measures. The objective measures related to achievement of our financial targets for billings and net income in 2009, which are based on our publicly disclosed financial guidance. The subjective measures included, among other things, the number and quality of new customer accounts secured by OpenTV, the status of OpenTV’s relationships with key customers and partners, completion and availability of scheduled product roadmap items, successful launch and delivery of key customer commitments and achievement of internal process improvements. During the course of the year, the compensation and nominating committee periodically re-evaluated the criteria, including the continued appropriateness of the measures and the Company’s relative performance against such measures. As of the date of this Form 10-K/A, 2009 bonus amounts for our named executive officers had not yet been determined or paid.
Equity Incentive Compensation. The compensation and nominating committee has historically sought to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our shareholders by awarding share-based incentive compensation. The committee believed that this practice helped ensure that our management team had a continuing stake in our company’s long-term success. We do not have share ownership guidelines, and our equity incentive plans have historically been the principal means by which our executive officers acquired shares in our company.
The OpenTV Corp. 2005 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of a variety of incentive awards tied to our Class A ordinary shares, including stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. The compensation and nominating committee reviews OpenTV’s equity compensation practices on a regular basis and makes determinations as to whether to grant equity awards to employees. In 2009, no such equity awards were granted to our employees, except for restricted shares granted to our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of his employment agreement and, as described below, stock options granted to new employees that we hire from time to time. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table below for equity incentive compensation awarded to our Chief Executive Officer in 2009.
During 2009, our compensation and nominating committee granted stock options to certain employees in connection with the commencement of their employment. The stock options generally vest over a four-year period and are awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, generally measured by reference to the closing sale price on that date of our Class A ordinary shares, as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market. In accordance with the terms of the 2005 Incentive Plan under which these options were granted, all unvested options outstanding as of November 25, 2009 vested on November 25, 2009 in connection with the completion of the tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) by Kudelski Interactive Cayman, Ltd. to purchase all outstanding Class A ordinary shares not owned by Kudelski SA or its wholly-owned subsidiaries for $1.55 per share.
We do not coordinate the timing of our awards with the release of material non-public information. As a result of the completion of the Redemption, we do not expect to grant additional equity incentive compensation that is based on OpenTV’s equity to any of our employees.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. Historically, our primary means of compensation to our executive officers were cash and share-based compensation. We have not generally elected to offer a significant amount of perquisites to our employees. During 2009, we provided some perquisites and personal benefits to our Chief Executive Officer, Nigel W. Bennett, as described below in the summary of the employment arrangement we have with Mr. Bennett.
401(k) Plan. We maintain a 401(k) plan in which named executive officers may participate. During 2009, we matched 50% of participants’ contributions up to a maximum of $3,000. The amounts of matching contributions paid to our named executive officers are set forth below in the Summary Compensation table. Participation in the 401(k) plan is available to all United States-based employees on a non-discriminatory basis.
7
Health and Welfare Benefits. We provide health, life and disability insurance and other employee benefits programs to our employees, including our named executive officers. The compensation and nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the administration of these programs and believes that the employee benefits programs should be generally comparable to those maintained by comparable companies so that we are able to attract and retain qualified employees. Our employee benefits plans are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees, though depending upon the particular jurisdiction involved, our benefit plans may differ among OpenTV’s regional offices, particularly those located outside of the United States.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
In developing the compensation packages for the named executive officers, the compensation and nominating committee considered the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. That provision prohibits the deduction of compensation of more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. One exception is for performance-based compensation, including stock options granted under our OpenTV Corp. 2005 Incentive Plan. In order to maintain maximum flexibility in making compensation decisions and given OpenTV’s current tax position, the compensation and nominating committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible under Section 162(m).

Executive Compensation Arrangements
Employment Agreement with Chief Executive Officer
In November 2008, we entered into a new employment agreement with Nigel (Ben) Bennett, who has served as our Chief Executive Officer since March 2008 and our Acting Chief Executive Officer since August 2007. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Bennett’s annual salary, effective as of March 2008, is $475,000, and his target bonus amount was established as $300,000 in 2008. Such target amount may change in subsequent years within the discretion of the compensation and nominating committee. Pursuant to the employment agreement, we have granted Mr. Bennett an aggregate of 200,000 restricted Class A ordinary shares under the OpenTV Corp. 2005 Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2009. Such shares are subject to the terms and conditions of a restricted share agreement, which terms and conditions included, among other things, restrictions on the sale, transfer or assignment of such shares. In accordance with the terms of the 2005 Incentive Plan, those restrictions lapsed as to all of such shares in connection with the completion of the Tender Offer. In addition, we agreed to grant to Mr. Bennett, subject to the availability of sufficient shares under our 2005 Incentive Plan, awards of 100,000 restricted Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following each of January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011. Generally, the restrictions in respect of each grant will lapse as to one-third of the restricted shares on each anniversary of the applicable grant date over a three-year period. We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Bennett for lease payments and reasonable operating expenses for a company car.
Mr. Bennett’s employment agreement provides for an initial term of employment of one year and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods, unless either Mr. Bennett or we give notice of non-renewal at least twelve (12) months prior to the end of the then current employment term. Notwithstanding the notice requirement, we may relieve Mr. Bennett of his employment duties during the notice period, provided that we pay him a lump sum equal to the amount of his base salary that Mr. Bennett would have earned had he remained employed during the notice period. If Mr. Bennett’s employment is terminated by us other than for cause, death or disability or if Mr. Bennett resigns his employment due to a material reduction in his base salary or his authority, duties or responsibilities, then Mr. Bennett would receive the following:
| • | | payment for all unpaid salary, reimbursable business expenses not theretofore paid and accrued vacation time up to the date of termination; |
| • | | a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of his then current annual salary and, in lieu of any bonus payment, a lump sum payment equal to 65% of his annual salary then in effect (plus, in the event that we have relieved Mr. Bennett of his duties during the notice period described above, an additional lump sum in lieu of any bonus payment for the notice period that is calculated in the same manner but prorated for the period of time during which he was so relieved); |
12
| • | | immediate removal of restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment applicable to any of our restricted shares held by Mr. Bennett, which restrictions would have lapsed during the 12-month period following termination; |
| • | | on the 12-month anniversary of the date of termination, removal of any remaining restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment applicable to any of our restricted shares issued to Mr. Bennett under the terms of the employment agreement; |
| • | | immediate vesting of any stock options granted prior to termination that would have vested during the 12-month period following termination; |
| • | | continued exercisability of vested stock options until the earlier of the 12-month anniversary of the date of termination and the applicable expiration of such stock options; and |
| • | | reimbursement of a portion of his health coverage payments for up to 12 months after termination. |
If Mr. Bennett’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability, as those terms are defined in his employment agreement, then Mr. Bennett would receive the following:
| • | | payment for all unpaid salary, reimbursable business expenses not theretofore paid and accrued vacation time up to the date of termination; |
| • | | a lump sum payment equal to 6 months of his then current annual salary and, in lieu of any bonus payment, a lump sum payment equal to 65% of his then current annual salary prorated for the number of months worked during the applicable calendar year before the termination date; and |
| • | | immediate vesting of all restricted shares granted under the terms of the employment agreement. |
Our payment of the foregoing benefits is contingent upon Mr. Bennett, or if applicable his estate or legal representative, signing a full and complete waiver and release in our favor. No benefits are payable upon any termination of Mr. Bennett for cause or if Mr. Bennett resigns other than for good reason, as those terms are defined in the employment agreement.
In December 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Bennett that governed the terms of his employment as Acting Chief Executive Officer until his appointment as Chief Executive Officer in March 2008. The terms of that letter agreement provided for an annual salary of $400,000 and a target bonus amount equal to 60% of his annual base salary.
Employment Letter Agreements with Other Named Executive Officers
We have also entered into letter agreements with Mark Beariault, Michael Ivanchenko, Shum Mukherjee and Joel Zdepski, our other named executive officers. Pursuant to these letter agreements, these named executive officers are employees at-will. However, if the employment of any such named executive officer is terminated by us other than for “cause,” as defined in the letter agreements, or resigns due to a material reduction in duties or responsibilities or base salary, then the applicable named executive officer would receive the following:
| • | | payment for all unpaid salary, reimbursable business expenses not theretofore paid and accrued vacation time up to the date of termination; |
| • | | salary continuation for a period of six months after termination, unless such termination is within 12 months of a “change in control” (as defined in the employment letters), in which case such individual would be entitled to receive salary continuation for a period of 12 months after termination; |
13
| • | | continued vesting of stock options for a period of six months after termination, unless such termination is within 12 months of a “change in control,” in which case such individual would be entitled to receive 12 months of vesting; and |
| • | | continued exercisability of stock options for a period of 90 days following the date on which the last stock options referred to in the preceding bullet point shall have vested. |
In addition, these letter agreements, other than Mr. Ivanchenko’s agreement, contain an agreement not to compete with the business of our company for a period of one year from termination.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Our named executive officers have contractual rights to severance or change in control payments under their employment agreements. For a description of potential payments upon termination or change in control, please see the information included above under “Executive Compensation Arrangements—Employment Agreement with our Chief Executive Officer” and “—Employment Letter Agreements with Other Named Executive Officers.” In addition, these named executive officers hold stock options issued under our stock option plans and the vesting of options issued under those plans may be accelerated, under certain circumstances, upon or in connection with a change in control of OpenTV, including any change in control transaction in which such stock options are not assumed or substituted by the surviving entity in such a manner that the option holder retains, as nearly as may be practicable, substantially equivalent value taking into account, to the extent applicable, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets into or for which the Class A ordinary shares of OpenTV may be changed, converted or exchanged in connection with the transaction. In connection with the completion of the Tender Offer, all of the unvested options and restricted shares outstanding as of November 25, 2009 under our stock option plans vested or the restrictions lapsed in accordance with the terms of such plans on November 25, 2009.
If Mr. Bennett is terminated by us other than for “cause,” as defined in his employment agreement, or resigns his employment due to a material reduction in his base salary or his authority, duties or responsibilities, Mr. Bennett is entitled to certain benefits pursuant to his employment agreement, including payment of $783,750 and reimbursement of a portion of his healthcare benefits for up to 12 months after termination. In addition, Mr. Bennett’s employment agreement contains a 12-month notice period that is applicable if he is terminated by us other than for “cause.” In the event that this notice period becomes applicable, then Mr. Bennett would be entitled during the notice period to payment of his base salary, bonus (prorated for his actual period of service) and health benefits.
The Tender Offer constituted a change in control pursuant to the terms of the letter agreements entered into with our other named executive officers. Accordingly, in the event that a named executive officer is terminated by us other than for “cause,” as defined in the letter agreements, or resigns due to a material reduction in duties or responsibilities or base salary, prior to November 25, 2010, then such named executive officer would be entitled to certain benefits defined in his letter agreement, including salary continuation for 12 months. In the event we are required to make such salary continuation payments, the total amounts paid over the relevant period (based on base salary amounts in effect as of the date of this Form 10-K/A) would be as follows: $334,223 to Mr. Mukherjee, $265,000 to Mr. Beariault, $279,440 to Mr. Ivanchenko (based on the foreign exchange rate in effect for Australian dollars to U.S. dollars as of the date of this Form 10-K/A) and $267,000 to Mr. Zdepski.

The annual retainers were paid, subject to continued service as a director, in quarterly installments during 2009. If applicable, payments to directors were made on a pro rata basis to
14
reflect the actual period of service of such directors during the year.

All of our directors were reimbursed for actual expenses they incurred to attend board and committee meetings.
In addition, each member of the special committee of the board of directors that was formed to evaluate a proposal made by Kudelski in February 2009 to acquire all of our Class A ordinary shares it did not own received $75,000 for their service on that committee and the chairman of the committee received an additional $15,000.

Each entity has sole voting power and investment power with respect to the ordinary shares set forth opposite such entity’s name. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For the purpose of computing the percentage ownership and voting power, ordinary shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that are exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after March 31, 2010 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the entity holding the options, warrants or convertible securities, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership and voting power of any other entity. For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of OpenTV Class B ordinary shares, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into OpenTV Class A ordinary shares, is reported as beneficial ownership of OpenTV Class B ordinary shares only, and not as beneficial ownership of OpenTV Class A ordinary shares.
OpenTV completed the Redemption at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 26, 2010. As of the completion of the Redemption, 4 registered shareholders owning an aggregate of 100,593 Class A ordinary shares submitted letters seeking to dissent from the Redemption. Those Class A ordinary shares have not been redeemed and remain outstanding, but such dissenting shareholders have no rights with respect to such shares other than the right to receive the fair value of such shares as determined in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Accordingly, the percentage ownership information set forth in the following table is based upon 92,104,997 OpenTV Class A ordinary shares and 30,206,154 OpenTV Class B ordinary shares, in each case outstanding as of March 31, 2010, which does not include any Class A ordinary shares held by dissenting shareholders.

(4) | Does not include information regarding the weighted-average exercise price of Class A ordinary shares issuable under the Exchange Plan because such issuances do not involve the payment of an exercise price or the provision of other monetary consideration. |
As a result of our shareholders’ approval of our 2005 Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) on November 10, 2005, no further awards will be granted under the following plans:
| • | | our Amended and Restated 1999 Share Option/ Share Issuance Plan (the “1999 Plan”); |
| • | | our 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”); and |
| • | | our 2003 Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). |
In addition, our board of directors has suspended offering periods under our Amended and Restated 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), and no options or purchase rights are currently outstanding under the ESPP. The ESPP terminated on December 31, 2009.
2000 Exchange Plan
Exchange rights granted under the Exchange Plan enable the holder to exchange, generally on a one-for-one basis, shares of the common stock of our majority-owned subsidiary, OpenTV, Inc. (including shares of OpenTV, Inc. common stock that may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of options outstanding under OpenTV, Inc.’s Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Purchase/Stock Issuance Plan, which we refer to as the 1998 Plan), for our Class A ordinary shares. Although 800,868 Class A ordinary shares were reserved for future issuance under the Exchange Plan as of December 31, 2008, only 653,566 shares of OpenTV, Inc. common stock (62,000 of which were underlying options to purchase shares of OpenTV, Inc. common stock previously granted under the 1998 Plan at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.64) were actually eligible for exchange under the Exchange Plan as of that date. We no longer grant options under the 1998 Plan.
19
2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan
Our board of directors adopted the 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. The 2001 Plan did not require the approval of our shareholders, and no shareholder approval was obtained or sought. The material features of the 2001 Plan are summarized below.
Share Reserve. Options to purchase 137,534 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the 2001 Plan as of December 31, 2009. We no longer grant options under the 2001 Plan, and any previously issued options under the 2001 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated without being exercised would not become available for future grants.
Administration. The compensation and nominating committee of our board of directors administers the 2001 Plan. The compensation and nominating committee has complete discretion to make all decisions relating to the administration, interpretation and operation of the 2001 Plan.
Eligibility. The following groups of individuals are eligible to participate in the 2001 Plan:
| • | | employees (other than employees who are executive officers); and |
Structure of Plan. The 2001 Plan permits the grant of options to purchase Class A ordinary shares to eligible participants. Options to purchase our Class A ordinary shares that may be granted under the 2001 Plan are non-statutory options and do not qualify for the favorable tax treatment afforded incentive options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price and other terms of non-statutory options granted under the 2001 Plan are determined by the compensation and nominating committee. The compensation and nominating committee may provide that non-statutory options will be transferable.
Corporate Transaction. Options granted under the 2001 Plan will automatically vest in full upon the occurrence of certain change in control events if such options are not assumed or exchanged for equivalent rights by the successor entity in accordance with the terms of the 2001 Plan. In the event of a corporate transaction that does not result in the automatic vesting of options and other awards, the board of directors or the compensation and nominating committee has discretion to accelerate vesting of such options and other awards.
Amendment and Termination. The board of directors may amend the 2001 Plan at any time. If our board of directors amends the 2001 Plan, shareholder approval will be sought if required by applicable law. The 2001 Plan will terminate upon the earliest of (i) ten years after its adoption by our board of directors, or (ii) such earlier date as determined by our board of directors.
Change of Control
Other than as contemplated by the February 19, 2010 written instructions from Kudelski SA to acquire all of our Class A ordinary shares that are not currently owned by Kudelski or its affiliates, we know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Kudelski’s Written Instructions to Redeem all Class A ordinary shares not currently owned by Kudelski or its affiliates” below.
Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence |
Transactions with Related Persons
The following describes certain agreements we have with certain of our significant shareholders and describes certain transactions or proposed transactions involving related parties and us from January 2009 through the date of this Form 10-K/A. We believe that the terms of each of these agreements are no less favorable to us than
20
terms we would have obtained in arm’s length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties. Prior to entering into any related party transaction, OpenTV, and if applicable the audit committee of the board of directors, reviews and approves the proposed transaction in light of applicable law, NASDAQ Stock Market Rules, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and other appropriate considerations.
Commercial Arrangements with Affiliates of Kudelski
We offer products and services that are complementary to some of the products and services offered by Kudelski, and some of its affiliates, including Nagravision SA and its subsidiaries. As a result, we have many of the same customers as Kudelski and its other affiliates. Historically, even prior to Kudelski becoming our controlling shareholder, we sold products and professional services to Nagravision in support of their efforts to sell conditional access products to network operator customers who had deployed or wished to deploy OpenTV’s middleware products. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized $6.4 million of royalties and licenses revenues and $1.3 million of services and other revenues from Nagravision SA; $0.7 million of royalties and licenses revenues and $0.1 million of services and other revenues from Nagra Trading S.A.; and $0.1 million of royalties and licenses and services and other revenues from Nagra France SAS. These entities are subsidiaries of Kudelski or were formerly subsidiaries of Kudelski and have been consolidated within the Kudelski Group. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized $6.2 million of royalties and licenses revenues and $0.2 million of services and other revenues from Nagravision; $1.2 million of royalties and licenses revenues from Nagra Trading; and $0.2 million of royalties and licenses from Nagra France. As of December 31, 2009, our accounts receivable included $2.2 million from Nagravision SA and $0.1 million from Nagra France.
In February 2008, we signed a multi-year license and distribution agreement with Nagravision, which enables Nagravision to market and sublicense our middleware products, services and maintenance and support programs to cable, satellite and telecommunications network operators around the world. The agreement specifies the applicable license, support and professional services fees that are payable by Nagravision to OpenTV in connection with the license and distribution of our middleware products under the agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, including the fees payable by Nagravision, are generally consistent with the terms and conditions offered by OpenTV to other distributors, including other conditional access providers. The total amount of license, support and services fees payable to OpenTV under this agreement is dependent upon the number of network operator customers sublicensed by Nagravision, the number of set-top boxes containing OpenTV middleware deployed by such customers and the amount of professional services requested by Nagravision. As of December 31, 2009, Nagravision has sublicensed our products under the terms of this agreement to Reliance Communications in India, Portugal Telecom and TV Cabo in Portugal, Embratel in Brazil and Canal Digitaal in the Netherlands. In March 2008, we also signed a master services agreement with Nagravision, which includes the specific terms and conditions that apply to professional services provided from time to time by OpenTV for Nagravision. Unless otherwise agreed, professional services performed by OpenTV will be billed on a time and materials basis at a daily rate that is competitive with the rates we charge our other customers. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized $6.4 million in revenue under these arrangements with Nagravision.
Redemption of all Class A ordinary shares not currently owned by Kudelski
On February 19, 2010, Kudelski SA, together with two of its subsidiaries, which collectively own ordinary shares representing more than 90% of our outstanding voting power, delivered a written notice to us pursuant to Section 176 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended, the BVI Act) directing us to redeem all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than Class A ordinary shares held by Kudelski and those two subsidiaries). Pursuant to the BVI Act, upon the receipt of such written instructions we became obligated to redeem all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than any such shares held by Kudelski or its subsidiaries). Accordingly, on February 24, 2010, we announced the Redemption of all of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares, other than any such shares held by Kudelski and two of its subsidiaries, for $1.55 per share. We completed the Redemption at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 26, 2010, subject to the negotiation and potential appraisal process to be completed with respect to dissenting shareholders. Our Class A ordinary shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market at such time.
21
Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Executive Officers
We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with some of our executive officers and all of our directors.
Director Independence
It is our policy that certain members of our board of directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with our company. Our board of directors evaluates each director’s independence under the NASDAQ Global Market listing standards as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC. In accordance with these listing standards and rules, our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Auvil, Deiss and Machovina are each qualified as an independent director of our company.
We are a “controlled company” as defined in Rule 5615(c)(1) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because more than 50% of our voting power is beneficially owned by Kudelski. Please see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above. Therefore, we are not subject to the requirements of Rule 5605(b), (d) and (e) that would otherwise require us to have (i) a majority of independent directors on our board of directors; (ii) a compensation and nominating committee composed solely of independent directors; (iii) a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors; (iv) compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation and nominating committee composed solely of independent directors; and (v) director nominees selected, or recommended for our board of directors’ selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors.

(2) | Represents professional consultations with respect to accounting issues affecting our financial statements, new accounting pronouncements and acquisition-related services. |
The audit committee of our board of directors has policies and procedures that require the pre-approval by the audit committee of services performed by our independent registered public accountants. At the beginning of each year, the audit committee approves the proposed services, including the nature, type and scope of service contemplated and the related fees, to be rendered by our independent registered public accountants during the year. In addition, audit committee pre-approval is also required for those engagements that may arise during the course of the year that are outside the scope of the initial services and fees approved by the audit committee. The performance by our independent registered public accountants of any non-audit services additionally requires a determination by the audit committee that performance of such services will not impair independence. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the fees and services provided as noted in the table above were authorized and approved by the audit committee in compliance with the pre-approval policies and procedures described herein.
