ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

This Schedule 13D is being jointly filed under Section 13 of the Act, by Kudelski SA and André Kudelski (the “Reporting Persons”).

Kudelski SA may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer held of record by Kudelski Cayman, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Kudelski SA. Kudelski SA may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer held of record by Kudelski US, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Kudelski SA. The Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares held by Kudelski Cayman and Kudelski US are referred to hereinafter as the “Purchased Shares.” André Kudelski controls the majority of the voting interest in Kudelski SA and accordingly may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Purchased Shares.

Kudelski SA’s technologies are used in a wide range of applications requiring access control and rights management, whether for securing transfer of information (digital television, broadband Internet, video-on-demand, interactive applications, etc.) or to control and manage access of people or vehicles to sites and events. The principal business address of Kudelski SA is 22-24, Route de Genève, Case Postale 134, 1033 Cheseaux, Switzerland.

André Kudelski, a citizen of Switzerland, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kudelski SA. Mr. Kudelski’s business address is 22-24, Route de Genève, Case Postale 134, 1033 Cheseaux, Switzerland.

The following information concerning each director, executive officer, and controlling person of Kudelski SA is set forth on Schedule 1: (i) name; (ii) residence or business address; (iii) principal occupation or employment and the name and principal business address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted; and (iv) citizenship.

During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor any person named in Schedule 1 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor any person named in Schedule 1 was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On January 16, 2007, Kudelski Cayman purchased 5,866,640 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer from Liberty IATV, Inc. (“IATV”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”), and 667,311 Class A ordinary shares from Liberty IATV Holdings, Inc. (“IATV Holdings”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty, and Kudelski US purchased 30,206,154 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer from IATV Holdings, each pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement by and among Kudelski SA, Kudelski Cayman, Kudelski US, Liberty, IATV and IATV Holdings dated October 18, 2006 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”). Mr. Kudelski was not a party to the Share Purchase Agreement. The purchase price for both Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares was $3.60 per share. The purchase price paid by each of Kudelski Cayman and Kudelski US came from the working capital or other available funds of Kudelski SA and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The purpose of the acquisition of securities of the Issuer by the subsidiaries of Kudelski SA is to acquire control of the Issuer. Upon the completion of the purchase, Kudelski SA, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Kudelski Cayman, beneficially owns 6,553,951 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer and through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Kudelski US beneficially owns 30,206,154 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer. Each Class A ordinary share has one vote per share and each Class B ordinary share has ten votes per share. Except as expressly provided in the Issuer’s Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association, or as required by applicable law or the terms of any outstanding series of preference shares of the Issuer, the holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares vote together as one class on all matters presented to shareholders of the Issuer for their approval.

The Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned by Kudelski SA represent approximately 26.7% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer and approximately 74.6% of the total voting power of the ordinary shares of the Issuer, based upon information provided by the Issuer with respect to the number of ordinary shares outstanding as of October 31, 2006. As a result of its beneficial ownership of shares of the Issuer and the voting power attributable thereto, Kudelski SA has the ability to elect all of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors and, subject to applicable law, to otherwise generally direct the business and affairs of the Issuer, including the power to approve mergers and other extraordinary corporate transactions and amendments to the Issuer’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.

On January 16, 2007 upon the closing of the share acquisition, three representatives of Liberty resigned from the Issuer’s board of directors, the Issuer’s board size was increased to eleven and the election by the board of the Issuer of seven persons designated by Kudelski became effective. Accordingly, as of the closing, André Kudelski, Alan Guggenheim, Joseph Deiss, Lucien Gani, Mercer Reynolds, Pierre Roy and Claude Smadja were elected to the board of the Issuer and persons designated by Kudelski SA constitute a majority of the Issuer’s board.

At the closing of the Transaction, Kudelski Cayman and Kudelski US deposited $20,000,000 of the purchase price into an escrow account, which will be available for the payment of any claims by Kudelski SA, Kudelski Cayman or Kudelski US for indemnification under the Share Purchase Agreement until the later of January 31, 2008 or twelve months following the closing of the Transaction.

Other than as described in this Item 4, Kudelski SA currently has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (e) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940; (f) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (g) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (h) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (i) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a) Kudelski SA may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6,533,951 Class A ordinary shares and 30,206,154 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer. The Class B ordinary shares are convertible at any time into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares. Based upon 107,138,661 Class A ordinary shares and 30,631,746 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2006 (according to information provided by the Issuer), and assuming the conversion of 30,206,154 Class B ordinary shares held by Kudelski US into the same number of Class A ordinary shares, Kudelski SA beneficially owns approximately 26.7% of the Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under Section 13 of the Act. André Kudelski may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Purchased Shares through his control of a majority of the voting securities of Kudelski SA.


Page 6 of 9

 

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the persons listed on Schedule 1 beneficially owns any Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer.

(b) Kudelski SA may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the vote as to, and to direct the disposition of, 36,740,105 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer. This includes 6,533,951 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Kudelski Cayman and 30,206,154 Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer issuable upon conversion of the same number of Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Kudelski US. André Kudelski may also be deemed to have the sole power to direct the vote as to, and to direct the disposition of, the Purchased Shares through his control of a majority of the voting securities of Kudelski SA.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the persons listed on Schedule 1 has the power to direct the vote as to, or to direct the disposition of, any Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days and none of the persons named in Schedule 1 has effected any transaction in Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

(d) The Reporting Persons do not know of any other person having the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.
