PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2014 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

JUNE 13, 2014

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING & VOTING

This proxy statement contains information about the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Pendrell Corporation (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at The Woodmark Hotel, 1200 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington 98033 on Friday, June 13, 2014, commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time.

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Pendrell Corporation (which is also referred to as Pendrell, the Company, we, us or our in this proxy statement), for use at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment of that meeting.

These proxy solicitation materials and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 are being mailed to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on or about May 13, 2014.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 17, 2014 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 212,422,686 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and entitled to vote (one vote per share) and 53,660,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote (ten votes per share).

Shareholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on the Record Date your shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization (your “Broker”), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your Broker. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your Broker regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your Broker.

What am I voting on?

There are two proposals scheduled for a vote:

• A proposal to elect eight directors; and

• A proposal to approve named executive officer compensation on an advisory basis.

-1-

How do I vote?

Shareholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote (i) in person at the Annual Meeting, (ii) by proxy using the enclosed proxy card, (iii) by proxy over the telephone, or (iv) by proxy on the Internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting to revoke your proxy and vote in person even if you previously voted by proxy.

• To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive.

• To vote using the proxy card, complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

• To vote over the telephone, dial toll-free 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from your enclosed proxy card. Your vote must be received by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on June 12, 2014, the day prior to the Annual Meeting, to be counted.

• To vote on the Internet, go to www.investorvote.com/PCO to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from your enclosed proxy card. Your vote must be received by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on June 12, 2014, the day prior to the Annual Meeting, to be counted.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your Broker, you received these proxy materials from your Broker rather than from Pendrell. To vote by proxy, you must complete and return to your Broker the voting instruction form, as directed by your Broker, to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your Broker. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your Broker. You may contact your Broker to request a proxy form.

How many votes do I have?

On each proposal to be voted upon, you will have one vote for each share of Class A common stock you own as of the Record Date and ten votes for each share of Class B common stock you own as of the Record Date.

What are “Broker non-votes”?

A broker non-vote generally occurs when a broker, who holds shares for the account of a customer with beneficial ownership of the shares, has not received voting instructions from such customer. If your shares are held by your Broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”) and you do not provide instructions to your Broker, your Broker cannot vote your shares with respect to the proposal to elect directors and the proposal to approve named executive compensation on an advisory basis, both of which are “non-discretionary” items.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies, either personally or by telephone, facsimile or written or electronic mail, but will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We also reimburse Brokers for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

-2-

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards or voting instruction forms you receive to ensure that all of the shares you hold are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

• You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

• You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at 2300 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington 98033.

• You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your Broker, you must follow the instructions provided by your Broker in order to revoke your proxy.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count votes as follows: (i) “For” and “Withhold” with respect to the election of directors; and (ii) “For,” “Against,” and “Abstain” with respect to the advisory (non-binding) resolution on executive compensation. Abstentions, withholds and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will have no effect in the outcome of any proposal.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you are a shareholder of record and you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted “For” the election of all eight nominees for director, and “For” the advisory (non-binding) resolution on executive compensation. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy holder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

-3-

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

Assuming that a quorum is present at the meeting, the following votes are required under our governing documents and Washington state law to approve each proposal:

Proposal	Vote Required	Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes on Vote Required
Proposal 1 — Election of directors	Plurality, or the largest number, of the votes cast	Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors; only votes cast “for” a director will affect the outcome of the vote for the election of directors.
Proposal 2 — Advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation*	Approval of the majority of votes cast	Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposal.

* This vote is advisory and not binding on us, our Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee have historically reviewed the voting results and taken them into consideration when making future decisions regarding the compensation of our named executive officers (who are identified in the “Summary Compensation Table” below).

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if shareholders holding shares representing a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock are present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the Record Date, there were 212,422,686 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 53,660,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, representing an aggregate of 749,022,686 potential votes, thereby requiring holders of shares representing 374,511,344 votes to be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are considered as shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum.

If there is no quorum, the Chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date or time.

Shareholder Proposals for 2015 Annual Meeting

In order for an eligible shareholder who desires to have a qualified proposal considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy prepared in connection with Pendrell’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, it must comply with SEC Rule 14a-8 and be received by us not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the date that this proxy statement was released to our shareholders, or, if the date of our 2015 annual meeting of shareholders has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting, then no later than a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials. Similarly, our Bylaws require that a shareholder who intends to present a proposal at our annual meeting in 2015, other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8, must provide us notice of such intention no later than March 15, 2015, and such proposal must be a proper matter for shareholder action under Washington corporate law. To be eligible to submit a proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement under either SEC Rule 14a-8 or pursuant to our Bylaws, a shareholder must have continually been a record or beneficial owner of shares of common stock having a market value of at least $2,000 (or representing at least 1% of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal), for a period of at least one year prior to submitting the proposal, and the shareholder must continue to hold the shares through the date on which the meeting is held.

-4-

You may obtain a copy of our Bylaws by mailing a written request to the Corporate Secretary of Pendrell Corporation at 2300 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington 98033 or by visiting the Company’s website at www.pendrell.com.

Proposals may be mailed to us, to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, Pendrell Corporation, 2300 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington 98033.

Shareholder Communication with the Board of Directors

Shareholders who wish to communicate with our Board of Directors, or with any individual member of the Board, regarding our business may send such communication in writing to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office, with a request to forward the communication to the intended recipient or recipients. In general, our Corporate Secretary forwards all such communications to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, who in turn determines whether the communication should be forwarded to the other members of the Board and, if so, forwards them accordingly. For communications addressed to a particular member of the Board, the Chair of a particular Board committee or the non-management directors as a group, the Corporate Secretary forwards those communications directly to those individuals. Shareholder communications must include confirmation that the sender is a Pendrell shareholder. Shareholder communications may be reviewed by our General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, Chief Financial Officer or other officer or employee in order to create an appropriate record of the communication and to ensure director privacy. Communications sent by shareholders to our Board of Directors are not confidential and we may use them for any purpose.

Communications that do not directly relate to the directors’ duties and responsibilities as directors of Pendrell will generally be excluded from distribution. Such excluded items include “spam,” advertisements, mass mailings, form letters and email campaigns that involve unduly large numbers of similar communications, solicitations for goods, services, employment or contributions, surveys, individual product inquiries or complaints, and communications that have no rational relevance to our business or operations. Additionally, communications that appear to be unduly hostile, intimidating, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate will not be forwarded to our directors.

Householding

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., Brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for the annual report to shareholders and proxy statement with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single annual report to shareholders and proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of Brokers with account holders who are Pendrell’s shareholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single annual report to shareholders and proxy statement will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your Broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate annual report to shareholders and proxy statement, please notify your Broker. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the annual report to shareholders and proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. Direct your written request to Pendrell Corporation, 2300 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington 98033, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their Brokers.

-5-

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within four business days after the conclusion of the meeting, or any postponement or adjournment of the meeting.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information, as of April 17, 2014, as to shares of common stock beneficially owned by: (i) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than five percent of either our Class A common stock or Class B common stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our named executive officers and (iv) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, directors and ten percent shareholders to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. The same persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us during the most recent fiscal year, we believe that all of our executive officers, directors and ten percent shareholders complied with the applicable filing requirements.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees

Pendrell’s Bylaws provide for a Board of Directors that consists of not less than one and no more than 17 members. The authorized number of directors is currently set at nine, and nine directors currently serve on the Board. After the Annual Meeting, if the nominees described below are elected as directors, the Board of Directors will consist of eight directors and the size of the Board will be reduced to eight effective immediately following the Annual Meeting.

Our Board proposes the election of eight directors of the Company, each to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his earlier retirement, resignation, removal or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. All nominees have been recommended by our Nominating and Governance Committee for nomination by our Board of Directors as candidates for election as directors at the Annual Meeting, and all are currently serving as directors of the Company. Director Richard P. Fox is not standing for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. All nominees were elected by the shareholders at the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders other than Mr. Mikles, who was first appointed to Board effective April 10, 2014.

Each person nominated for election as a director has agreed to serve if elected, and the Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable to serve. However, if any nominee is unable or declines to serve as director at the time of the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the Board to fill the vacancy. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them “FOR” the nominees named below.

Information Regarding the Nominees

The name and certain background information regarding each of the nominees for director, as of the Record Date, are set forth below. There are no family relationships among directors or executive officers of Pendrell. In addition to the information presented below regarding each director’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board of Directors to conclude that he is qualified to serve as a director of the Company, each of our directors has demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment to Pendrell and our Board of Directors as demonstrated by his past service.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Overview of Director Compensation Program

Our Board of Directors Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) provides for (i) an annual retainer, paid quarterly, to the Chairman of our Board of Directors and each of our independent directors, and (ii) an additional retainer for committee service, paid quarterly, to each of our independent directors serving on a committee (other than the Chairman of the Board), as follows:

Board of Directors and Committee Service	Annual Retainer
Chairman of the Board of Directors	$	250,000
Independent Director	$	50,000
Audit Committee Chair	$	20,000
Compensation Committee Chair	$	20,000
Nominating and Governance Committee Chair	$	15,000
Audit Committee Member (non-Chair)	$	8,000
Compensation Committee Member (non-Chair)	$	8,000
Nominating and Governance Committee Member (non-Chair)	$	8,000

The annual retainer earned by our Chairman of the Board and each of our independent directors is paid in four equal quarterly installments on or about the first day of July, October, January and April to those directors who served on our Board of Directors through the end of the applicable period. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for reasonable travel and accommodation expenses incurred in connection with Company business.

The Policy also provides for the grant of stock options to our independent directors. At the time of their election to the Board of Directors, all independent directors receive an initial option to purchase 75,000 shares of Class A common stock that vests in four equal annual installments. In addition, all independent directors receive an annual option to purchase 60,000 shares of Class A common stock on October 1 of each year that fully vests on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. All options granted to the independent directors have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the grant date and have a term of ten years.

To further align the interests of our directors with the interests of our shareholders, our non-employee directors may elect to receive all or part of their director fees in the form of Class A common stock. The number of shares issued is equal to the amount of the fee to be paid in stock divided by the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock (the closing price of our stock as reported on NASDAQ) on the final business day of the quarter for which payment is earned. Only whole numbers of shares of Class A common stock are issued; fractional shares are paid in cash.

Mr. Mikles joined our Board effective April 10, 2014 and did not serve as a director in 2013.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Controlled Company

Eagle River controls approximately 65.1% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock as of April 17, 2014. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) corporate governance rules and, as such, need not comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including (1) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) the requirement that the compensation of officers be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (3) the requirement that director nominees be selected, or recommended for the board of directors’ selection, by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors with a written charter or board resolution addressing the nomination process. We do not currently rely on any of these exemptions, but reserve the right to do so in the future. If we choose to do so, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Identification, Evaluation and Qualification of Director Nominees

In general, the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) will review director candidates identified by Board members and any third-party search firms engaged by the Nominating Committee as part of the director nomination process. The Nominating Committee and Pendrell’s Chief Executive Officer will interview and evaluate candidates that meet the criteria for serving as directors, and the Nominating Committee will select nominees that best suit the Board’s needs for recommendation to the full Board. Each candidate must be presented to the Nominating Committee with a reasonably detailed statement of their qualifications for serving as a director of Pendrell.

Qualifications required of individuals who are considered as board nominees will vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to our existing board composition at the time of any vacancy. All directors should possess the background, skills, expertise, and commitment necessary to make a significant contribution to Pendrell. Relevant qualifications for Pendrell’s directors include: (1) exemplary personal and professional ethics and integrity; (2) the ability to engage in objective, fair and forthright deliberations; (3) operating experience at a policy-making level in business(es) relevant to Pendrell’s current and future plans; (4) independent judgment; (5) adequate time and personal commitment to provide guidance and insight to Pendrell’s management; (6) a commitment to provide long term value to Pendrell’s shareholders; (7) sophisticated business skills to enable rigorous and creative analysis of complex issues; (8) understanding and experience in relevant markets, technology, operations, finance or marketing in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board as determined from time to time.

The Nominating Committee will evaluate potential nominees by reviewing qualifications and references, conducting interviews and reviewing such other information as Nominating Committee members may deem relevant. Once the Nominating Committee has approved a candidate, the candidate will be referred to the full Board for review. The Board ultimately makes all nominations for directors to be considered and voted upon at Pendrell’s annual meetings.

While Pendrell does not have a formal policy or guidelines regarding diversity of membership of its Board of Directors, the Board recognizes the value of having a Board of Directors that encompasses a broad range of skills, expertise, contacts, industry knowledge and diversity of opinion. Therefore, the Board gives consideration to obtaining a diversity of experience and perspective within the Board and solicits directors’ views on a variety of topics, including whether directors as a whole have the appropriate mix of characteristics, attributes, business experience and background to effectively serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

For the Annual Meeting, the Nominating Committee recommended that the Board of Directors nominate the eight individuals designated as director nominees in Proposal 1 above.

-18-

Shareholder Nominations and Recommendations for Director Candidates

Shareholder Nominations for Director

Pursuant to Pendrell’s Bylaws, shareholders who wish to nominate one or more candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of shareholders must give timely notice of the proposal to nominate such candidate(s) in writing to Pendrell’s Corporate Secretary. Consistent with SEC Rule 14a-8, the notice must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the date of the annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, or if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, not later than the close of business on the 10^th day following the day on which notice of the date of the upcoming annual meeting is publicly disclosed. To be effective, the notice must satisfy certain requirements specified in the Company’s Bylaws, a copy of which will be sent to any shareholder upon written request to Pendrell’s Corporate Secretary. A shareholder making a nomination must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including providing a nominee’s consent to being named in a proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected.

No shareholder has presented a timely notice of a proposal to nominate a director this year. Accordingly, the only directors nominated for election at the Annual Meeting are the individuals named in Proposal 1, “Election of Directors.” No other nominations are before, or may be brought at, the Annual Meeting.

Shareholder Recommendations for Director

In addition to the general nomination rights of shareholders, the Nominating Committee will consider Board candidates recommended by shareholders in accordance with a written policy adopted by the Nominating Committee and will evaluate such candidates in the same manner as other director candidates.

Any Board candidate recommended by a shareholder must be independent of the recommending shareholder in all respects (e.g., free of material personal, professional, financial or business relationships from the proposing shareholder), as determined by the Nominating Committee or applicable law. Any Board candidate recommended by a shareholder must also qualify as an “independent director” under applicable Nasdaq rules.

Shareholders who wish to recommend a candidate for the Nominating Committee’s consideration must submit the recommendation in writing to the Nominating Committee in accordance with the procedures described above under the caption “Shareholder Communication with the Board of Directors.” The recommendation must demonstrate that it is being submitted by a current Pendrell shareholder and must include the recommending shareholder’s name, business address and contact information and all other information that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act. With respect to the proposed Board candidate, the following information must be provided:

• name, age, business and residence addresses;

• principal occupation or employment;

• number of shares of Pendrell stock beneficially owned (if any);

• a written resume of personal and professional experiences;

• a statement from the recommending shareholder in support of the candidate, references for the candidate, and an indication of the candidate’s willingness to serve, if elected;

• all other information relating to the proposed Board candidate that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act; and

-19-

• information, documents or affidavits demonstrating to what extent the proposed Board candidate meets the required minimum criteria set forth above under the caption “Identification, Evaluation and Qualification of Director Nominees.”

The recommendation must also include the signature of each proposed Board candidate and of each shareholder submitting the recommendation, together with a written statement that the recommending shareholder and the proposed Board candidate will make available to the Committee all information reasonably requested in furtherance of the Committee’s evaluation.

Shareholders may make recommendations at any time, but recommendations for consideration of nominees for election at an annual meeting of shareholders must be received by the date described in Pendrell’s proxy statement released to shareholders in conjunction with the previous year’s annual meeting. Except as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation, the Nominating Committee will have no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the recommendation or otherwise communicate with the shareholder submitting the recommendation.

Independence of the Board of Directors

The Board has determined that Messrs. Emerson, Fox, Kauser, Mikles, Sloan and Thompson are independent directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. As such, a majority of our directors are currently independent, as are all members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. Members of the Audit Committee also satisfy a separate independence requirement pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which requires that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us or any of our subsidiaries other than their compensation for service as a director, or be an affiliated person of ours or any of our subsidiaries.

Each year, our directors are obligated to complete a questionnaire which requires them to disclose any transactions with us in which the director or any member of his or her immediate family might have a direct or potential conflict of interest. Based on its analysis of the responses, the Board determined that all directors, except for Messrs. Wolff and Salemme due to their employment relationship with the Company, and Mr. McCaw due to his ownership of Eagle River, are independent under its guidelines and free from any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment.

Board Leadership Structure

Currently, the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are held by two different individuals. Mr. Wolff serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. McCaw serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board has determined that the separation of these positions allows Mr. Wolff to devote his time to the Company’s key strategic objectives while Mr. McCaw provides non-executive oversight of Board activities. The Board believes that this leadership structure adheres to the Company’s commitment to monitor and oversee the Company’s compliance with sound principles of corporate governance, consistent with applicable laws and best practices.

The non-executive Chairman serves as the principal representative of the Board and presides at meetings of the Board.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all officers, directors and employees. The Code of Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s website located at www.pendrell.com, by clicking on “Investor Relations” and then “Corporate Governance.” If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code of Conduct and Ethics or grants any waiver from a provision of the Code of Conduct and Ethics to any executive officer or director, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on its website.

Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in formulating risk management policies and risk oversight policies and in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board of Directors regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Compensation Committee oversees the management of risks related to the Company’s compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee oversees the management of financial risks and enterprise risks. The chairmen of these committees regularly inform the entire Board of Directors of the conclusions and results of such risk management functions. Our management team is charged with implementing risk management policies that are established by our Board of Directors and with managing our risk profile on a daily basis.

Policy Regarding Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Shareholders

We have a policy that at least one member of our Board of Directors will attend each annual meeting of shareholders, and all directors are invited to attend such meetings. We will reimburse directors for reasonable expenses incurred in attending annual meetings of shareholders. One director attended the annual meeting of shareholders held on June 14, 2013.

Meetings of the Board and Committees

The Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis during the year to review significant developments affecting Pendrell and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings when an important matter requires Board action between regularly scheduled meetings. During fiscal year 2013, the Board of Directors met seven times and took action by unanimous written consent on two other occasions. The independent members of the Board of Directors regularly met in executive session without management present.

During fiscal year 2013, the Board of Directors had three principal committees — the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. These committees carry out certain responsibilities as identified in their respective charters, which have been adopted by the respective committees and by the Board. The charters of the current committees can be reviewed on our website at www.pendrell.com, by clicking on “Investor Relations” and then “Corporate Governance” and are also available free of charge in print to any shareholder who requests them.

During fiscal year 2013, each director attended, in the aggregate, more than 75% of the Board meetings and meetings of the Board committees on which the director served.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF AN ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to periodically conduct a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the compensation of our named executive officers. At our 2011 annual meeting of shareholders, our shareholders voted on the frequency of future advisory “say on pay” votes and agreed with our recommendation that such “say on pay” votes be conducted annually. At the Annual Meeting, an advisory (non-binding) shareholder resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement will be presented to our shareholders for consideration as follows:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related material in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

This vote will not be binding on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee or create or imply any additional fiduciary duty. It will also not affect any compensation paid or awarded to any executive officer. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee may, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The purpose of our compensation policies and procedures is to attract and retain experienced, highly qualified executives critical to our long-term success and enhancement of shareholder value. We believe that our compensation policies and procedures are strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee believe that the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, is reasonable and appropriate, is justified by our performance and is the result of a carefully considered approach.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of

the advisory (non-binding) resolution on executive compensation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This compensation discussion and analysis describes the principles underlying our executive compensation program and factors relevant to the analysis of the 2013 compensation of our named executive officers. Our named executive officers for 2013 are listed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 40 and include the following individuals:

• Mr. Wolff, our Chief Executive Officer;

• Mr. Rinn, our Chief Financial Officer;

• Mr. Neary, our former Chief Financial Officer;

• Mr. Salemme, our Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer;

• Mr. Jaffe, our former Vice President and General Counsel; and

• Mr. Siino, our former Chief IP Officer.

This compensation discussion and analysis is limited to a discussion of compensation and other benefits earned by the named executive officers for their performance in 2013.

Executive Summary

Our executive compensation program is designed to balance near-term results with our long-term success by encouraging our executives to build value through the achievement of key corporate objectives and strong individual performance. Our executive officers are critical to the evolution of our business and our long-term success. We believe these experienced executives have the knowledge, expertise and discipline necessary to build and maintain a strong platform for our core business and the flexibility to identify and capitalize on new market opportunities. It is essential for us to design and provide a compensation program that allows us to retain them and to attract other highly talented and skilled executives while emphasizing rigorous, performance-oriented compensation.

Key events related to executive compensation in fiscal 2013 are outlined briefly below. Each is described more fully in later sections of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

• We awarded merit-based salary adjustments to our named executive officers in 2013 ranging from 0% to 4.5% based on individual performance.

• We awarded 2013 performance-based cash incentive awards for our named executive officers ranging from 30% to 50% of target based on individual achievement of 2013 stated objectives.

• We recruited and hired a skilled and experienced Chief Financial Officer with a unique and diverse financial and corporate development background.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Pendrell believes that the skill, talent, judgment and dedication of its executive officers are critical factors affecting the long-term value of our company. The primary goals of our executive compensation program in 2013 were (i) to recruit and retain qualified executives who are well suited to lead us as the business evolves and who are able to contribute to our long-term success, (ii) to motivate performance consistent with clearly defined corporate and individual performance goals, and (iii) to align our executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders. We believe our executive compensation program provides a solid framework for implementing

-26-

and maintaining a balanced approach to compensation, has been instrumental in helping us accomplish our business objectives, and is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In more detail, our compensation program is designed to:

• provide a balance between fixed and variable compensation elements that are established at sufficient levels to discourage excessive risk-taking;

• attract and retain individuals with the leadership abilities and skills to successfully execute our business strategy and build long-term shareholder value;

• encourage and reward outstanding initiative, achievement and teamwork and motivate individuals to perform at their highest level;

• reflect varying degrees of executive responsibility, accountability and impact on our business;

• provide compensation and incentive packages to our executives that are competitive with our peer companies;

• emphasize performance-based pay that aligns incentives with our strategic objectives; and

• provide a meaningful ownership stake to appropriately align executive interests with shareholder interests.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of our executive compensation program. Each director who served on the Compensation Committee in 2013 was, and each current member of the Compensation Committee is, a non-employee director within the meaning of SEC Rule 16b-3, an outside director within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and an independent director under Nasdaq stock exchange listing rules. The Compensation Committee’s purpose is to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to executive compensation and to administer policies that govern our compensation and benefit programs in a manner that supports our business strategy. The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating our executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs, including:

• periodically reviewing and establishing the agreements with, and compensation of, our executive officers;

• establishing and periodically reviewing the operation and administration of our executive compensation programs;

• carrying out duties assigned to the Compensation Committee under any equity compensation plan or other incentive compensation plan, including granting equity awards to our executive officers; and

• performing other duties as assigned by the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee may delegate authority to subcommittees, retain or terminate compensation consultants and obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisers. The Compensation Committee may also consider recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, but has final authority to set compensation amounts or awards for our named executive officers and is bound by neither the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer nor those of any independent compensation consultant.

Say on Pay Feedback from Shareholders

Shareholders holding more than 96% of the votes cast at our 2013 annual meeting of shareholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee considered the results of the most recent advisory vote of the shareholders and, based in part on the significant level of shareholder support, made no changes to our executive compensation policies or decisions as a result of the vote. We will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation each year at our annual meeting of shareholders.

-27-

Role of Compensation Committee Consultants in Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee periodically engages independent compensation consultants to provide assistance and advice as it discharges its responsibilities under its written charter. The duties of compensation consultants engaged by the Compensation Committee may include periodically reviewing our compensation programs to confirm that they are consistent with our executive compensation philosophy and objectives established by the Compensation Committee. Compensation consultants may also advise the Compensation Committee on emerging trends and issues related to the compensation of executive officers and provide recommendations on the appropriate composition of peer group and market data sources to be used by the Compensation Committee as reference points for executive compensation decisions. In 2013, the Compensation Committee retained Barney & Barney as its independent third party consultant to provide peer data in connection with the establishment of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. In 2013, the Compensation Committee reviewed and assessed the independence of Barney & Barney in accordance with the factors set forth in the SEC and Nasdaq rules regarding compensation committee advisor independence and determined that Barney & Barney is independent, and that no conflict of interest exists as a result of the retention of Barney & Barney as an independent compensation consultant in 2013.

Role of Management in Compensation Decisions

Our Chief Executive Officer periodically assesses the performance of our executive officers (other than himself) and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of such executive officers. In 2013, Mr. Wolff assessed each executive officer’s contributions toward the achievement of our business and strategic objectives during the preceding year, as well as the executive officer’s effectiveness in overseeing the function for which the executive officer is responsible. He then made recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding base salaries, bonus targets and actual payments, performance goals and equity compensation awards for executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. He was not present for any of the executive sessions or for any discussion regarding his own compensation.

Peer Companies and Benchmarking

Our human resources staff periodically obtains executive compensation data from outside compensation consultants and/or salary surveys and considers this data when making recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding employment offers to and compensation packages for our executive officers.

The primary foundation for the establishment of the annual base salary of Mr. Wolff in 2013 was compensation data for the chief executive officers of a peer group of 11 companies in the technology and intellectual property industries (the “Compensation Peer Group”). The Compensation Peer Group was originally developed in 2011 by Barney & Barney, an independent compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee, based on data compiled from Equilar, a leading provider of executive compensation data. In 2013, Barney & Barney provided updated CEO compensation data based on the Compensation Peer Group that the Compensation Committee considered in establishing the 2013 compensation of Mr. Wolff. The companies in the Compensation Peer Group are:

Acacia Research Corporation	Dolby Laboratories, Inc.
DTS, Inc.	Immersion Corporation
InterDigital, Inc.	Rambus Inc.
Rovi Corporation	RPX Corporation
Tessera Technologies, Inc.	TiVO Inc.
VirnetX Holding Corporation

In determining the annual base salaries in 2013 for our named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considered data from the Radford Global Technology Survey

-28-

for technology companies with revenues that are comparable to those we are targeting in the near future (the “Radford Survey”). The Radford Survey was developed by Radford, an Aon Hewitt company that is a leading provider of executive compensation consulting and benchmarking services for technology companies.

In determining the long-term equity compensation of our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considered data compiled from the Radford Survey and the Compensation Peer Group.

Our ability to achieve success is largely dependent on the experience, talent, skills and performance of our staff. In order to retain the best talent, and to reward superior performance, our Compensation Committee does not rigidly apply competitive compensation data. Instead, the Compensation Committee generally benchmarks median cash compensation for our named executive officers between the 50^th and 75^th percentiles of the cash compensation paid to executives at peer companies. Actual cash compensation paid to any particular executive may be above or below the targeted range due to a number of factors, including but not limited to company and individual performance, differences in responsibilities between executives at peer companies, executives’ prior experience and experience and tenure with the company, executives’ performance, and contributions relative to other executives at the company. The Compensation Committee also benchmarks median equity compensation for executives against the 50^th percentile of the equity compensation paid to executives at peer companies. As with cash compensation, the value of equity compensation grants to particular executives may be above or below the targeted range due to the factors listed above, as well as perceived limitations in the compensation survey data as it relates to equity compensation, executives’ potential future contributions to us, executives’ expected tenure, and the retention value, or holding power, of existing equity compensation grants.

Elements of Compensation

Our 2013 executive compensation program consisted of the following primary elements: base salary, short-term performance-based cash incentive compensation, and with respect to our Chief Financial Officer, long-term equity incentive compensation awards. Each element is designed to achieve one or more of our performance, retention, and alignment goals as described below. The Compensation Committee determined that the long-term equity incentive compensation awards granted in August 2012 to those executive officers who joined us prior to 2013 were sufficient for purposes of the goals described below, and at the time such awards were granted in August 2012, the Compensation Committee determined that it did not expect to grant additional equity awards to our then-serving executive officers for at least 12 months.

Compensation Element	Designed to Reward	Relationship to Compensation Philosophy
Annual Base Salary	Executive officer’s experience, responsibilities, and contributions to the Company	Attract and retain talented executives through competitive pay programs that ensure a fixed level of annual cash compensation for our executives
Short-term Performance-based Cash Incentives	Achievement of corporate and individual performance goals	Motivate executives to achieve and exceed annual business and individual objectives that we believe are important to our long-term success
Long-term Equity Incentives (options and stock awards)	Increased shareholder value through the achievement of long-term strategic goals such as revenue growth, return on invested capital and stock price appreciation	Align executive and shareholder interests to optimize shareholder return; motivate executives to achieve and exceed business objectives

-29-

The Compensation Committee gives no single compensation factor any specific weight, but each executive’s compensation, including the mix of cash compensation, equity awards and compensation that is performance-based, ultimately reflects the Compensation Committee’s business judgment in consideration of these factors and shareholder interests.

Pendrell does not have established programs under which executive perquisites are offered. Pendrell does not offer guaranteed payouts under its performance-based cash incentive compensation program or executive retirement plans that are not provided to the general employee population.

2013 Executive Compensation

General Considerations

In reviewing named executive officers’ performance and determining cash and equity compensation awards in 2013, the Compensation Committee focused on each named executive officer’s individual responsibilities and performance, as well as our overall performance. It also recognized that 2013 was a year of evolution of our business as we refined our business strategy and made decisions intended to be in the long-term interests of our company and shareholders, and to position our company for future growth. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion in assessing the performance of our named executive officers and did not apply specific formulae to determine the relative mix of compensation elements. In evaluating the performance of our named executive officers in 2013, the Compensation Committee considered each executive’s fulfillment of his responsibilities, demonstrated leadership, management experience and effectiveness, in addition to our company’s performance. The recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer were also considered by the Compensation Committee in the evaluation of the performance of our named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee established 2013 performance milestones that included both financial and strategic goals, which it believed appropriate to create shareholder value and to position our company to capitalize on opportunities that will provide a strong foundation for future growth.

The following describes the primary components of our executive compensation program for each of our named executive officers during 2013.

Base Salary

We provide our named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered, to meet our objective of attracting and retaining the executive talent needed to run our business, and to mitigate the risks associated with variable cash incentive and equity incentive compensation. Base salaries for named executive officers are determined based on position, responsibility, experience, overall company budgets and competitive market data. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews base salaries and makes adjustments from time to time to recognize various levels of responsibility, individual performance, market conditions and internal equity issues. Base salary adjustments for named executive officers are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

-30-

The annualized base salaries of our current named executive officers at the end of 2013 and for 2014 are set forth below. Actual base salaries earned for our named executive officers in 2013 are reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 40.

Named Executive Officer and Principal Position	2013 Annual Base Salary (as of 12/31/13)			2014 Annual Base Salary (Current Salary)
Benjamin G. Wolff, President and Chief Executive Officer	$	772,500		$	795,675
David H. Rinn, Chief Financial Officer(1)	$	350,000		$	360,500
Thomas J. Neary, Former Chief Financial Officer		(2	)		(2	)
Robert S. Jaffe, Former Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary	$	350,000			(3	)
R. Gerard Salemme, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer	$	412,000		$	424,360
Joseph K. Siino, Former Chief IP Officer	$	418,000			(4	)

(1) Mr. Rinn joined Pendrell on March 11, 2013.

(2) Mr. Neary resigned from his position as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective March 8, 2013. As of March 8, 2013, Mr. Neary was paid an annual base salary of $250,000. Pursuant to a Severance and Release Agreement between Mr. Neary and the Company, Mr. Neary provided services to the Company as a non-executive employee at this salary through May 31, 2013, and at a rate equal to $10,417 per month through his employment termination date of August 31, 2013.

(3) Mr. Jaffe resigned from his position as Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company effective April 18, 2014. As of April 18, 2014, Mr. Jaffe was paid an annual base salary of $350,000.

(4) Mr. Siino resigned from his position as Chief IP Officer effective January 31, 2014. As of January 31, 2014, Mr. Siino was paid an annual base salary of $418,000.

Chief Executive Officer. In February 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an increase of 3% to Mr. Wolff’s annual base salary in recognition of his individual performance over the preceding twelve months, and after considering base salary market levels and the scope of his role and responsibilities. The 2013 salary of Mr. Wolff was established above the 75^th percentile of the annual base salaries paid to chief executive officers in the Compensation Peer Group. The Compensation Committee determined that the base salary of Mr. Wolff appropriately reflects his unique skills, extensive management and leadership experience, and his role and responsibilities as our Chief Executive Officer.

Named Executive Officers Other than the Chief Executive Officer. In 2013, the Compensation Committee considered data from the Radford Survey in determining the annual base salaries of Messrs. Rinn, Salemme and Siino. The annual base salary of Mr. Rinn was negotiated in connection with his hiring by the Company in March 2013 and was established at the 75^th percentile of the annual base salaries paid to chief financial officers as reflected in the Radford Survey. The Compensation Committee believed that Mr. Rinn brought a unique set of highly valuable skills and experiences that will be beneficial to us as we focus on building a strong foundation for our future growth and success, and determined that this salary appropriately reflected Mr. Rinn’s experience and the responsibilities that he would assume upon joining Pendrell. Effective February 1, 2013, the Compensation Committee increased the annual base salaries of Messrs. Siino and Salemme by 4.5% and 3%, respectively. In determining the amount of these salary increases, the Compensation Committee considered individual performance, base salary market levels and scope of responsibility. The annual base salary of Mr. Salemme was established above the 75^th percentile, and the annual base salary of Mr. Siino was established between the 25^th and 50^th percentiles, of the annual base salaries paid to similarly situated executives as reflected in the Radford Survey. The annual base salary of Mr. Neary was not adjusted at that time because the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Neary’s salary appropriately reflected his role and responsibilities, and the annual base salary of Mr. Jaffe was not adjusted in 2013 because he had recently joined us.

-31-

In February 2014, the annual base salaries of each of Messrs. Wolff, Rinn and Salemme were increased by 3% as part of a company-wide merit review. The annual base salary of Mr. Jaffe was not adjusted at that time because the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Jaffe’s salary appropriately reflected his role and responsibilities.

Performance-based Cash Incentive Compensation

In determining the annual discretionary performance-based cash incentive compensation for our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee is generally guided by an assessment of company and individual performance. The Compensation Committee holds executives to what it believes are very high standards when awarding cash bonuses and has determined that target payouts will be made only when executive officers consistently meet those very high standards

In March 2013, the Compensation Committee approved our 2013 cash bonus plan (the “2013 Bonus Plan”) for employees and executive officers. The 2013 Bonus Plan provided the Compensation Committee broad discretion to award bonuses to participants within a specified range based on the achievement of financial objectives, strategic objectives and individual performance. Each of these objectives was designed to be difficult to achieve but attainable. The Compensation Committee planned for payouts under the 2013 Bonus Plan at 100% to 125% for achievement above target, 76% to 100% for achievement at target, and 0% to 75% for achievement below target, with possible increased payouts under the 2013 Bonus Plan by up to 25% to recognize exceptional performance. The Committee reserved the authority and discretion to modify the performance goals and criteria under the 2013 Bonus Plan and to grant bonuses to participants even if the performance goals were not met.

In February 2014, the Compensation Committee assessed company and individual performance and, in consultation with the Board, determined that the company’s overall performance was below target for purposes of the 2013 Bonus Plan and that no portion of the bonus payout based on company achievement of objectives was warranted. However, the Compensation Committee recognized that management’s conscious decision to forego the achievement of certain short-term company objectives may have advanced the company’s long-term objectives. For example, the company could have entered into licensing arrangements on terms that were not representative of the value of our intellectual property assets, but management determined that doing so would not be in the best interests of the company or its shareholders. As such, the Compensation Committee determined that our executive officers each contributed to the advancement of our objectives in 2013. In assessing individual performance, the Compensation Committee considered each executive’s fulfillment of his responsibilities within his specific function, his contributions in support of company objectives, demonstrated leadership, management experience and effectiveness. The Compensation Committee determined that bonus payouts based on individual performance would range from 30% to 50% of target for the named executive officers who were employed by us on February 28, 2014, the date 2013 Bonus Plan payments were made.

The Compensation Committee approved bonus payouts at 30% of target for each of Messrs. Wolff, Salemme and Jaffe, and at 50% of target for Mr. Rinn, based on individual performance against established objectives under the 2013 Bonus Plan. The variances in the bonus payments resulted from the Compensation Committee’s subjective determinations regarding individual performance in 2013. In awarding Mr. Rinn a bonus equal to 50% of target, the Compensation Committee recognized Mr. Rinn’s exemplary performance during a transitional year as he assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer.

-32-

The performance-based cash incentive compensation awarded to our named executive officers for 2013 was as follows:

Named Executive Officer	2013 Annualized Target Bonus ($)		2013 Annualized Target Bonus as a Percentage of Annual Base Salary(1)			2013 Actual Bonus ($)
Mr. Wolff	$	772,500		100	%	$	231,750
Mr. Rinn	$	175,000		50	%	$	70,959	(2)
Mr. Neary(3)		—		—			—
Mr. Salemme	$	412,000		100	%	$	123,600
Mr. Siino(4)	$	313,500		75	%		—
Mr. Jaffe	$	175,000		50	%	$	52,500

(1) Reflects target annual cash incentive compensation for 2014 as set forth in the employment letter agreement between the Company and each executive officer, except for Mr. Siino. Mr. Siino’s employment letter agreement established Mr. Siino’s target annual cash incentive compensation at $300,000. In April 2013, the Compensation Committee revised Mr. Siino’s target annual cash incentive compensation to 75% of his annual base salary beginning in 2013.

(2) Reflects prorated bonus earned by Mr. Rinn for a partial year of service between March 11, 2013 and December 31, 2013.

(3) Due to Mr. Neary’s resignation from the position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective March 8, 2013, he was not be eligible to earn a cash incentive payment under the 2013 Bonus Plan.

(4) Due to Mr. Siino’s resignation from the position of Chief IP Officer effective January 31, 2014, prior to the date payments were made under the 2013 Bonus Plan, he was not eligible to receive a cash incentive payment under the 2013 Bonus Plan.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

Our long-term incentive program is designed to attract a highly skilled and talented executive team, encourage long-term retention of executive officers and enable us to recognize efforts put forth by executives who contribute to stock price appreciation. We believe the periodic vesting of long-term incentive compensation, which is contingent upon continued employment or the achievement of specific performance criteria, directly aligns executive officer interests with our shareholders’ interests by rewarding creation and preservation of long-term shareholder value.

In 2013, the Compensation Committee did not award long-term incentive compensation to executive officers who joined us prior to 2013. All equity awards granted in 2013 were made in connection with the hiring of new employees or the promotion of existing employees. In August 2012, the Compensation Committee approved broad-based equity awards for our then-serving employees and executive officers with the expectation that additional broad-based equity awards would not be granted for at least 12 months. It also determined that the retentive value, the opportunity to benefit from future equity appreciation and the vested versus unvested equity holdings of each named executive officer who joined us prior to 2013 were sufficient throughout 2013 to motivate these executives to focus on long-term company performance.

Mr. Rinn. Mr. Rinn’s employment offer letter provided for grants of time-based nonqualified stock options, time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and RSUs having both time-based and performance-based vesting requirements (in other words, specific performance goals must be achieved and Mr. Rinn must satisfy applicable continued employment requirements in order for vesting to occur). These equity awards were negotiated with Mr. Rinn in connection with the commencement of his employment in March 2013 and were designed

-33-

specifically to induce him to accept employment with the Company. The vesting of all equity awards is subject to the continued employment of Mr. Rinn through each award’s applicable vesting dates. Below is a description of each type of award.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A stock option is the right of a recipient to purchase a specified number of shares of our Class A common stock at a price designated on the date of grant. Stock options have value only to the extent the price of our stock on the date of exercise exceeds the stock price on the grant date. The Compensation Committee believes that stock options motivate our executive officers to improve and maintain Company performance, which in turn may drive stock price appreciation and increase the value of any unexercised stock options.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards. A restricted stock unit award (an “RSU”) is a grant valued in terms of Class A common stock, but shares of stock are not issued at the time the RSU is granted. After an RSU grant recipient satisfies applicable vesting requirements, shares of Class A common stock are issued to the award recipient. The Compensation Committee believes that RSUs directly link executive officer interests with those of our shareholders because the value of these awards is tied to the market value of our common stock.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Compensation Committee believes that the achievement of key corporate goals should directly and materially impact the total compensation opportunity for our named executive officers in order to closely align their interests with those of our shareholders Therefore, the Compensation Committee granted a significant portion of Mr. Rinn’s 2013 equity awards in the form of performance-based RSUs that vest only upon achievement of what we believe are ambitious stock price goals, together with continued service to the Company. The Compensation Committee believes these stock price goals are aggressive but do not encourage risk-taking or require performance outside of what the Compensation Committee believes is reasonable for the Company.

The equity awards granted to Mr. Rinn and the vesting criteria applicable to each award are as follows:

Type of Award	Number of Shares	Vesting
Nonqualified Stock Options (time-based)	600,000	25% of the options will vest on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.
RSUs (time-based)	200,000	25% of the RSUs will vest on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.
RSUs (performance-based)	150,000	25% of the RSUs will vest when both of the following have occurred: (i) the average closing price of Class A Common Stock, measured over a 20-day trading period, has reached or exceeded $3.00 per share (the “Initial Price Trigger”), and (ii) an anniversary of the grant date has occurred (the “Anniversary Date”). An additional 25% of the RSUs will vest when both the Initial Price Trigger and a subsequent Anniversary Date have occurred, such that all RSUs will be vested after both the Initial Price Trigger and the fourth Anniversary Date have occurred. If the Initial Price Trigger is not achieved by the fifth Anniversary Date, then none of the RSUs will vest.

-34-

Type of Award	Number of Shares	Vesting
RSUs (performance-based)	150,000	25% of the RSUs will vest when both of the following have occurred: (i) the average closing price of Class A Common Stock, measured over a 20-day trading period, has reached or exceeded $6.00 per share (the “Secondary Price Trigger”), and (ii) an anniversary date of the grant date has occurred (the “Anniversary Date”). An additional 25% will vest when both the Secondary Price Trigger and a subsequent Anniversary Date have occurred, such that all RSUs will be vested after both the Secondary Price Trigger and the fourth Anniversary Date have occurred. If the Secondary Price Trigger is not achieved by the fifth Anniversary Date, then none of the RSUs will vest.

The Compensation Committee determined that the mix of time- and performance-based equity awards was appropriate to recruit and retain Mr. Rinn and to align his interests with the interests of our shareholders.

The long-term equity incentive compensation awarded to Mr. Rinn upon the commencement of his employment was established above the 75th percentile of the long-term equity incentive compensation awarded to chief financial officers in the Radford Survey to reflect Mr. Rinn’s skills, experience and diverse background in both finance and corporate development. The Compensation Committee also considered the retentive value, the opportunity to benefit from future equity appreciation, the mix of time-based and performance-based equity awards, and the equity award guidelines established for executives having similar roles and responsibilities.

The equity awards granted to our named executive officers provide for both long-term vesting requirements and performance-based vesting conditions. Therefore, the grant date fair value of the equity awards is not necessarily reflective of actual compensation realized by the executives in a specific year or even the ultimate value of the awards. Accordingly, our Summary Compensation Table on page 40 should be read in conjunction with our Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table on page 44, which includes more information on compensation actually realized by our named executive officers in 2013.

Compensation Mix

For 2013, the mix of the total compensation elements for each of our named executive officers was as follows:

Percent of Total 2013 Compensation

Named Executive Officer	Base Salary and  Other Compensation			Annual Cash Incentive Compensation			Equity and Long-Term Incentive Awards
Mr. Wolff		77	%		23	%		0	%
Mr. Rinn		20	%		5	%		75	%
Mr. Neary		100	%		0	%		0	%
Mr. Salemme		77	%		23	%		0	%
Mr. Siino		100	%		0	%		0	%
Mr. Jaffe		87	%		13	%		0	%

The equity incentive awards granted prior to 2013 to our named executive officers who joined us prior to 2013 were deemed sufficient during 2013 to align the interests of such executives with those of our shareholders. The allocation of a significant portion of the 2013 total compensation of Mr. Rinn, who joined us in March 2013,

-35-

in the form of equity incentive awards reflects our philosophy that a substantial portion of total compensation should be delivered in the form of contingent compensation to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our shareholders.

Other Compensation

Employment, Severance and Change in Control Arrangements

Each named executive officer is employed on an “at will” basis, which means that his employment may be terminated at any time, at the election of either the executive officer or Pendrell, for any reason or no reason, with or without any advance notice. We issued employment letters to each of our named executive officers when he was hired that contain general employment terms. The employment letters for Mr. Wolff and Mr. Salemme were amended and restated in July 2011. The employment letters for Messrs. Wolff and Salemme, and the employment letter for Mr. Jaffe, describe certain benefits payable in connection with a termination of employment under certain circumstances, such as termination without “cause.” The terms of these arrangements are described in further detail in the section below captioned “2013 Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 45. These severance benefits are intended to ensure that key executives are focused on our goals and objectives, as well as the interests of our shareholders, by removing uncertainties related to unexpected termination of employment. The named executive officers are also subject to certain confidentiality, noncompetition and non-solicitation obligations as set forth in our standard form of employee intellectual property agreement.

In addition, all equity awards granted to our named executive officers and non-executive employees under our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, provide for 100% vesting acceleration in the event we are subject to a change in control and the equity obligation is not assumed, continued or substituted by the acquiring company. Under the Pendrell Corporation 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), the vesting of an equity award may accelerate upon a change of control if such acceleration is contemplated by the agreement evidencing an award, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur. The vesting of an equity award granted pursuant to the 2012 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions, including certain sales or dispositions of assets or securities, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions unless otherwise provided in the agreement evidencing an equity award or any other written agreement between us and the holder of such equity award, or unless otherwise expressly provided by the plan administrator of the 2012 Plan at the time an equity award is granted.

Mr. Neary. Effective March 8, 2013 (the “Resignation Date”), Mr. Neary resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to a Severance and Release Agreement between the Company and Mr. Neary (the “Neary Agreement”), which was approved by the Compensation Committee, Mr. Neary agreed to continue his employment through August 31, 2013 (the “Termination Date”) on a part-time basis by consulting on matters relating to his past duties for the Company in exchange for $10,417 per semi-monthly pay cycle through May 31, 2013 and $5,208 per semi-monthly pay cycle through the Termination Date. With the exception of the performance-based equity awards granted to Mr. Neary on July 21, 2011 and August 24, 2012 (the “Performance Awards”), Mr. Neary continued to vest in his outstanding time-based equity awards between the Resignation Date and the Termination Date. The Performance Awards remained outstanding through May 31, 2013, but did not vest and were therefore canceled as of that date. As part of the Neary Agreement, Mr. Neary provided us with a waiver and release of all claims and agreed to adhere to all post-employment obligations under our standard form of employee intellectual property agreement.

Benefits

We believe benefits are part of a competitive compensation package to attract and retain employees, including executives. Our executive officers are eligible to participate in the same benefit programs offered to other employees. These programs include medical, dental, vision, group life, accidental death and

-36-

dismemberment, and disability insurance; an elective health care savings account; a transportation subsidy or paid parking, as applicable; paid time off; and holiday pay. The same contribution amounts, percentages and plan design provisions are generally applicable to all employees.

Our employees, including our named executive officers, are also eligible to participate in our 401(k) savings plan, a tax-qualified retirement savings plan pursuant to which all U.S.-based employees are able to contribute a portion of their cash compensation (including base salary and overtime pay) on a before-tax basis, up to the limit prescribed each year by the Internal Revenue Service. We match 100% of the first 3% of pay and 50% of the next 2% of pay that is contributed to the 401(k) savings plan. All employee contributions, as well as matching contributions made by Pendrell, to the 401(k) savings plan are fully vested upon contribution. Our executive officers participate in the benefit programs described above on the same basis as our other employees.

We have no defined benefit pension plans or supplemental retirement plans for executives.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits

We may offer other benefits to our employees and executive officers from time to time, including relocation assistance, which benefits are typically offered to help us compete more effectively to attract or retain an executive officer.

In April 2013, the Compensation Committee adopted a Pre-Approval Policy for Nominal Payments pursuant to which the Compensation Committee delegated authority to each of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee to approve certain nominal payments to our executive officers from time to time. Our Chief Executive Officer is authorized to approve nominal payments to our executive officers (not including the CEO) up to an aggregate amount of $10,000 per year, per executive officer. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee is authorized to approve nominal payments to our executive officers up to an aggregate amount of $25,000 per year, per executive officer (when aggregated with any nominal payments approved by the CEO). These payments may include, without limitation, relocation assistance, transportation benefits, length of service awards, achievement awards and certain other payments.

There were no perquisites provided to any named executive officer in 2013.

Taxation of “Parachute” Payments and Deferred Compensation

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that we, or a successor, may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) also imposes additional significant taxes on the individual in the event that an executive officer, director or other service provider receives “deferred compensation” that does not meet the requirements of Section 409A. We do not provide any executive officer, including any named executive officer, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G or 4999 of the Code. The employment letters with Messrs. Wolff and Salemme allow us to accelerate severance payments to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A and Mr. Wolff’s employment letter provides for a gross up for all taxes or other payments that may be due pursuant to Section 409A.

Other Policies and Considerations

Assessment of Risk in our Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the various design elements of our compensation program and believes that the annual and long-term equity incentive compensation programs for our executive officers

-37-

appropriately focus these individuals on our current and future business needs without encouraging undue risk-taking. The Compensation Committee periodically assesses our compensation program to monitor and mitigate risk. This ongoing assessment includes consideration of the primary design features of the compensation plans, monitoring compliance with our code of ethics, structuring executives’ pay to include both fixed and variable compensation, and retaining broad discretion over the award of annual performance-based cash incentive compensation. We believe that our compensation policies and practices for all employees, including named executive officers, do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We currently do not require our executive officers to own a particular amount of our stock. The Compensation Committee is satisfied that stock and other equity holdings of our executive officers are sufficient at this time to provide appropriate motivation and to align the long-term interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. However, we may in the future require our executive officers to own a particular amount of our stock.

Policies Regarding Granting of Equity Awards

We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires the granting of stock options or other equity awards to any executive officer on specified dates, or that requires the named executive officers to hold stock options, restricted stock or RSUs beyond their vesting dates. All stock options are granted with exercise prices that are equal to the last sale price of our Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the respective date of grant. We do not have either a policy or practice in place to grant equity awards that are timed to precede or follow the release or withholding of material nonpublic information. The Compensation Committee typically grants equity awards to executive officers at its scheduled meetings or by unanimous written consent. The Compensation Committee may authorize the future grant of an equity award to an executive officer in advance of the commencement of such officer’s employment by us, in which case the Compensation Committee’s approval of the award is subject to and effective on the date of hire or on the 15^th day of the month that falls on or follows an executive officer’s employment start date.

Our Board of Directors has authorized our Chief Executive Officer, who is also a member of our Board of Directors, to grant equity awards to certain newly hired employees and consultants, subject to certain limitations, as follows:

• the awards will be granted on the 15^th day of the month following an individual’s employment start date;

• the individual cannot report directly to the Chief Executive Officer or be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

• the total number of shares granted under all awards to an individual during a single period may not exceed certain levels, as approved in advance by the Compensation Committee;

• the total number of shares granted under all awards by the Chief Executive Officer during a calendar year may not exceed 1,000,000 shares; and

• each stock option must have an exercise price equal to the closing share price on the date of grant.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code (“Section 162(m)”) generally disallows an income tax deduction to publicly traded companies for compensation over $1.0 million paid to the Chief Executive Officer or any of our other four most highly compensated executive officers. Under Section 162(m), we may deduct compensation in excess of $1.0 million if it qualifies as “performance-based compensation,” as defined in Section 162(m). Stock options granted under our equity plans will qualify as performance-based compensation and be exempt from the

-38-

Section 162(m) deductibility limit provided these stock options are approved by the Compensation Committee and granted in compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee believes that in certain circumstances factors other than tax deductibility take precedence when determining the forms and levels of executive compensation most appropriate and in the best interests of us and our shareholders. Given our changing focus, as well as the competitive market for outstanding executives, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important for it to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs consistent with our overall executive compensation program, even if some executive compensation is not fully deductible by us. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee may from time to time approve elements of compensation for certain officers that are not fully deductible, and reserves the right to do so in the future when appropriate.

Policies on Hedging Economic Risk

No director or officer designated by our Board of Directors as a “reporting person or insider” may engage in any transaction involving our securities or securities of certain companies with whom we transact business (including a stock plan transaction such as an option exercise, a gift, a loan or pledge or hedge, a contribution to a trust, or any other transfer), without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transaction from our legal department.

Recovery of Incentive-Based Compensation

We recognize that our compensation program will be subject to the forthcoming amendments to stock exchange listing standards required by Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires that stock exchange listing standards be amended to require issuers to adopt a policy providing for the recovery from any current or former executive officer of any incentive-based compensation (including stock options) awarded during the three-year period prior to an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance of the issuer with financial reporting requirements. We intend to adopt such a “clawback” policy which complies with all applicable standards when such rules become available.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for fiscal 2013 with Pendrell’s management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in Pendrell’s proxy statement relating to the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.

(1) The amounts reported in this column for 2011 represent discretionary cash bonus awards.

(2) Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted in the year shown, computed in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for stock and option awards granted during each year, rather than an amount paid to or realized by an executive officer. These equity grants are described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above and in the “2013 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2013” tables below.

Values not included in the table: In 2011, the Compensation Committee approved equity awards to the executives listed below with vesting tied to Company performance. On the grant date, achievement of the performance conditions was not deemed probable, and accordingly, pursuant to the SEC’s disclosure rules, no value is included in the table for these awards. Below are the fair values of such awards at the grant date assuming achievement of the highest level of performance condition.

(1) There is no threshold payout under the Company’s 2013 performance-based cash incentive compensation plan. The actual amounts paid for 2013 are shown in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 40. These awards are described in further detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 26.

(2) The exercise price is equal to the closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date, as reported on Nasdaq.

(3) The amounts reported in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted in 2013, determined in accordance with financial statement reporting rules rather than an amount paid to or realized by the executive officer. For a discussion of valuation assumptions, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The option exercise price has not been deducted from the amounts indicated above. Regardless of the value placed on a stock option on the grant date, the actual value of the option will depend on the market value of Pendrell Class A common stock at such date in the future when the option is exercised. The proceeds to be paid to the individual following the exercise of the option do not include the option exercise price.

(4) The stock options vest in four equal annual installments beginning March 15, 2013.

(5) The RSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning March 15, 2013.

(6) Twenty-five percent of the RSUs will vest when both of the following have occurred: (i) the average closing price of Class A Common Stock, measured over a 20-day trading period, has reached or exceeded $3.00 per share (the “Initial Price Trigger”), and (ii) an anniversary of the grant date has occurred (the “Anniversary Date”). An additional 25% of the RSUs will vest when both the Initial Price Trigger and a subsequent Anniversary Date have occurred, such that all RSUs will be vested after both the Initial Price Trigger and the fourth Anniversary Date have occurred. If the Initial Price Trigger is not achieved by the fifth Anniversary Date, then none of the RSUs will vest.

(7) Twenty-five percent of the RSUs will vest when both of the following have occurred: (i) the average closing price of Class A Common Stock, measured over a 20-day trading period, has reached or exceeded $6.00 per share (the “Secondary Price Trigger”), and (ii) an anniversary date of the grant date has occurred (the “Anniversary Date”). An additional 25% will vest when both the Secondary Price Trigger and a subsequent Anniversary Date have occurred, such that all RSUs will be vested after both the Secondary Price Trigger

-42-

and the fourth Anniversary Date have occurred. If the Secondary Price Trigger is not achieved by the fifth Anniversary Date, then none of the RSUs will vest.

(8) Mr. Neary resigned from the position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective March 8, 2013.

(9) Mr. Siino resigned from the position of Chief IP Officer effective January 31, 2014.

Mr. Siino	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Mr. Jaffe	$	—	$	350,000	$	—	$	—

(1) As described above, Messrs. Wolff, Salemme and Jaffe are entitled to certain severance payments in the event their employment is terminated without Cause or if they resign from the Company for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in their employment letters). Messrs. Wolff, Salemme and Jaffe are also entitled to these payments in the event their employment terminates due to Disability (as defined in their employment letters). Severance payments are conditioned upon an executive officer’s execution of a separation agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company. Each executive officer is also subject to certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations for one year following termination of employment, in addition to confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations. Also, it is generally the Company’s practice to pay out accrued but unused paid time off to employees upon termination of employment.

(2) Mr. Wolff’s severance payment is equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary ($772,500 as of December 31, 2013) and annual target performance bonus; Mr. Salemme’s severance payment is equal to his annual base salary ($412,000 as of December 31, 2013) plus 100% of his annual performance bonus; and Mr. Jaffe’s severance payment is equal to his annual base salary ($350,000 as of December 31, 2013).

(3) The total amount Mr. Wolff would be entitled to receive in the event of certain termination events (as set forth in the table above and described below), does not include a gross up amount for taxes that may become due under 409A, to which Mr. Wolff is also entitled if he receives a severance payment.

Change in Control

All equity awards granted to our named executive officers and non-executive employees under the 2000 Plan provide for 100% vesting acceleration in the event the Company is subject to a change in control and the equity obligation is not assumed, continued or substituted by the acquiring company. Under the 2012 Plan, the vesting of an equity award may accelerate upon a change of control if such acceleration is contemplated by the

-45-

agreement evidencing an award, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur. The vesting of an equity award granted pursuant to the 2012 Plan may also be accelerated in the event of certain corporate transactions, including certain sales or dispositions of assets or securities, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions unless otherwise provided in the agreement evidencing an equity award or any other written agreement between the Company and the holder of such equity award, or unless otherwise expressly provided by the plan administrator of the 2012 Plan at the time an equity award is granted.

Messrs. Wolff, Salemme and Jaffe are the only named executive officers who have severance provisions in their employment letters that may be triggered upon termination of employment. The following descriptions are based upon the terms of each such employment letter.

Benjamin G. Wolff. Mr. Wolff’s employment is at-will, and he is subject to termination with or without cause. However, if we terminate Mr. Wolff without Cause, or if he terminates his employment due to Disability or resigns from the Company for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in his employment letter), upon execution of a release of claims, he is entitled to: (i) payment of an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary then in effect plus 100% of his target bonus (which is currently $795,675); provided that the payments will be accelerated to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, plus a full gross up for all taxes and other payments that may be due pursuant to Section 409A; (ii) Company-paid health insurance coverage for up to two (2) years; and (iii) vesting of all options, RSUs and shares of restricted stock in which he would have vested had he remained actively employed through the second anniversary of the date of termination (with the exception of the July 5, 2011 grant of performance based restricted stock, the August 24, 2012 grant of performance-based RSUs, and any other performance-based equity awards that may be granted to Mr. Wolff after August 24, 2012).

R. Gerard Salemme. Mr. Salemme’s employment is at-will, and he is subject to termination with or without cause. However, if we terminate Mr. Salemme without Cause, or if he terminates employment due to Disability or resigns from the Company for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in his employment letter), upon execution of a release of claims, he is entitled to: (i) payment of an amount equal to his base salary then in effect plus 100% of his target bonus (which is currently $424,360); provided that the payments will be accelerated to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A and (ii) vesting of all options, RSUs and shares of restricted stock in which he would have vested had he remained actively employed through the second anniversary of the date of termination (with the exception of the July 5, 2011 grant of performance based restricted stock, the August 24, 2012 grant of performance-based RSUs, and any other performance-based equity awards that may be granted to Mr. Salemme after August 24, 2012).

If Mr. Jaffe’s employment was terminated without Cause or due to his Disability, or if he resigned from the Company for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in his employment letter), he was entitled to payment of an amount equal to his base salary then in effect upon his execution of a release of claims.

AUDITORS

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has the sole authority and responsibility to appoint the Company’s independent auditor. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Audit Committee has not appointed the independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Deloitte & Touche LLP was selected by the Audit Committee as the Company’s principal accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee charter permits the Audit Committee to delegate pre-approval authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more individuals, as well as to pre-approve defined categories of services. However, the Audit Committee has not done so, but has instead pre-approved all audit and non-audit services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP as part of the scope of the independent auditor engagement or on a case-by-case basis prior to engagement for service. All of the services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP in 2012 and 2013, as described under Audit Fees above, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 with management of the Company. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard AU Section 380 Communication with Audit Committees and Rule 2-07 of SEC Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

All proposed related-party transactions are subject to review and approval by the Audit Committee. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related-party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors deemed appropriate, whether the related-party transaction is on terms no more favorable to the counterparty than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. To assist with the identification of potential related-party transactions, we solicit information through questionnaires in connection with the appointment of new directors and executive officers and on an annual basis with respect to existing directors and executive officers.

Related Party Transactions

Eagle River Satellite Holdings, LLC (“ERSH”), Eagle River Investments, LLC, Eagle River, Inc. and Eagle River Partners, LLC (“ERP”)

The indemnification obligation is subject to certain exceptions, including losses and damages incurred through certain violations of the U.S. securities laws and damages caused by acts that a court determines to be a breach of fiduciary duties, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. We agreed to advance reasonable costs and expenses incurred for defending any claim upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined the indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under the agreement.

Under an indemnification agreement with Cascade Investment, we are similarly required to indemnify Cascade Investment, its affiliates (including Mente), and their respective members, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons.

We are also a party to an indemnification agreement with CDR-Satco, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, (“CD&R”) and The Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership which obligates us to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of those entities and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents and controlling persons under the same general terms as the indemnification agreement with Eagle River Investments, LLC, other than the addition of an obligation to indemnify for any claims arising out of or based upon the provision by CD&R of any consulting services (except to the extent a court finds that any of the indemnitees acted with gross negligence or intentional misconduct).
