Sending on behalf of Matt Milne.

Hi All,

In an effort to continue getting out information regarding the transition, we have posted a set of updated FAQ’s on the intranet site at http://home/DivX-Sonic_Transition that address new information regarding the treatment of options for both Continuing and Non-Continuing Employees. We are also posting a set of calculators you can use to assist you in your own calculations.

You’ll get the details in the FAQ’s, but just to give you an overview of what’s new:

The Sonic Price used in all of the calculations and conversions will be the closing price for a share of Common Stock of Sonic, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a cent, as reported on Nasdaq for the trading day immediately prior to the closing.

Non-Continuing Employees will not have to come up with cash in order to exercise their option grants and pay withholding taxes at closing. Instead, In-the-Money options held by a Non-Continuing Employee at closing will be automatically converted into the right to receive $3.75 cash and .514 shares of Sonic stock for each share of DivX Stock issuable upon exercise of the option grant after reducing the shares subject to the option grant by a number of shares necessary to cover the exercise price of the options. DivX will first withhold cash, and then stock if necessary, to cover the withholding taxes.

Please review the FAQ’s for more details. Hope you all enjoy the holiday weekend,

Matt
