Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 5, 2012, InterDigital, Inc. ("InterDigital") issued a news release (the "News Release") announcing that the company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on its common stock on December 2, 2012. The dividend is payable on December 28, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 17, 2012. The company also announced that the Board approved its regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, which will be paid on December 28, 2012. In prior years, this quarterly dividend was paid on or around January 25. The total cost to the company of the special dividend is $61,425,424.50, and the total cost to the company of the regular dividend is $4,095,028.30. In connection with the payment of the special dividend, the conversion rate for the company’s 2.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2016 will be adjusted. The conversion rate applicable to the notes currently is 17.3458 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes. As a result of the special dividend, the conversion rate will be increased by multiplying the previous conversion rate by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the average closing price of the company’s common stock for the period between the December 2, 2012 declaration date and the ex-dividend date for the special dividend, which is expected to be December 13, 2012, and the denominator of which will be such average closing price minus the special dividend amount of $1.50. The conversion rate adjustment will become effective immediately after 9 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for the special dividend. A copy of the News Release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
