All Three Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms Support All Xperi Board Candidates


Xperi Inc. (NYSE: XPER) (the "Company" or "Xperi") today announced that a third independent proxy advisory firm, Egan-Jones Ratings Company ("Egan-Jones"), has joined Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC ("Glass Lewis") in recommending that Xperi stockholders vote "FOR" all of the Company's director nominees on the BLUE proxy card ahead of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held on May 24, 2024. One of the Company's stockholders, Rubric Capital Master Fund LP ("Rubric"), has nominated two candidates to replace half the Company's independent directors on the Xperi Board of Directors (the "Board").

Following the same recommendation as ISS and Glass Lewis, Egan-Jones concluded that "change in leadership is unwarranted as it would disrupt the transformation that is currently underway," and recommended that "voting FOR [Xperi's] nominees is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders."

Specifically, Egan-Jones highlighted Xperi's "compelling... transformation strategy":

Egan-Jones also highlighted Darcy Antonellis and David Habiger, the two incumbent directors being targeted by Rubric for removal, as "integral to Xperi's strategy execution given their industry expertise and public company experience."

As noted, ISS also recommended in favor of all five of Xperi's nominees, noting:

Glass Lewis recommended in favor of all five of Xperi's director nominees as well, stating:

Commenting on the recommendations of all the major U.S. proxy advisory firms, the Board said, "We welcome the recommendations from Egan-Jones, Glass Lewis and ISS that Xperi stockholders should vote for all five of Xperi's director nominees." The Board continued, "receiving unanimous support from all three leading U.S. proxy advisory firms reinforces our confidence in our strategy and serves as a strong endorsement of the actions the Board and leadership team have taken to transform the Company for sustainable, profitable growth."

The Board urges stockholders to vote "FOR" all five of Xperi's skilled and experienced director candidates, and "WITHHOLD" on Rubric's two candidates, using the BLUE proxy card.

Stockholders who have any questions or need assistance voting their shares should contact the Company's proxy solicitor Morrow Sodali at (203) 658-9400 or [email protected].
