Introduction
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to OpenTV Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company
(OpenTV, the Company or the Filing Person), and all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares, no par value per share, of the Company that are not beneficially owned by Kudelski SA (Kudelski) or
any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The securities to which this Schedule 13E-3 relates are collectively referred to as the Subject Securities. This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by the Company. This Schedule 13E-3 relates to the
proposed redemption by the Company of all of the Subject Securities as more fully-described in (a) the preliminary redemption notice/transaction statement, which is attached as Exhibit (a)(3)(i) to this Schedule 13E-3 (the Redemption
Notice/Transaction Statement), and (b) the notice of redemption, which is attached as Exhibit (a)(3)(ii) to this Schedule 13E-3.
On January 8, 2010, OpenTV received written notice from Kudelski, Kudelski Interactive USA, Inc. (Kudelski USA) and Kudelski Interactive Cayman, Ltd. (Kudelski Cayman, and,
collectively with Kudelski and Kudelski USA, the Kudelski Control Group) stating that the Kudelski Control Group anticipated giving written instruction to OpenTV directing it to redeem all outstanding Class A ordinary shares of
OpenTV other than those shares registered in the name of any member of the Kudelski Control Group at such time as the SEC had cleared the preliminary documentation filed by OpenTV and the Kudelski Control Group in connection with the anticipated
redemption.
If the redemption is completed, all of the Subject Securities will be redeemed and the ordinary shares of OpenTV
held by the Kudelski Control Group will remain issued and outstanding and OpenTV will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kudelski. In addition, in connection with the redemption, OpenTV intends to delist the Class A ordinary shares from The
Nasdaq Global Market and terminate the registration of its Class A ordinary shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and to suspend its reporting obligations thereunder.
All information contained or incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13E-3 concerning Kudelski and its affiliates has been supplied by
the Kudelski Control Group, and OpenTV takes no responsibility for the accuracy of such information.
The cross reference
