further comment at this time."
3.Refer to your statement that "[f]rom 2015 to 2017, management of the Former Parent also
met with certain other representatives of Rubric..." Please revise to clarify what entity you
mean by referring to "Former Parent" in this sentence given that Xperi Holding
Corporation, which you define as "Former Parent" in your disclosure, appears to have
been formed as a result of the combination between Xperi Corporation and TiVo
Corporation, which was completed in June 2020.

proxy card, even if they want to vote for one or both of the Rubric Nominees.

abstentions and broker non-votes?, page 61
5.Please adjust the location of the footnote indicator for footnote (2) to indicate
clearly which proposal that footnote is addressing. In addition, it is our understanding that
to the extent that a shareholder's broker receives solicitation materials from Rubric, it may
not exercise discretionary authority on any matter to be voted on. Please revise to clarify
the extent of broker's discretion with respect to all of the matters to be voted on.
