Rhea-AI Filing Summary

InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC) filed an 8-K reporting that an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration panel has finalized royalty terms for the company鈥檚 patent license with Samsung Electronics covering products other than digital televisions and computer monitors. The panel set aggregate royalties at $1.05 billion for the eight-year term running from 1 Jan 2023 to 31 Dec 2030.

The ruling will provide InterDigital with approximately $131 million of recurring revenue per year, a 67 % increase over the prior Samsung agreement. In Q2 2025, the company will book a one-time $119 million catch-up revenue in addition to the quarter鈥檚 regular $33 million recurring portion. No further financial metrics or payment schedules were disclosed. The decision resolves a key licensing dispute and secures multi-year revenue visibility for InterDigital鈥檚 core royalty business.

Positive

$1.05 billion total royalties secured through 2030
Annual recurring revenue rises 67 % to about $131 million
One-time $119 million catch-up boosts Q2 2025 revenue
Eight-year term provides long-term revenue visibility and reduces litigation risk

Negative

License explicitly excludes Samsung鈥檚 TV and monitor products, limiting coverage of certain hardware categories

Insights

TL;DR: $1.05 B award boosts IDCC鈥檚 annual license revenue 67 % and delivers $119 M one-time catch-up, materially improving cash flow visibility.

The arbitration outcome is decidedly positive. Annual royalties rise from roughly $78 M to $131 M, adding predictable, high-margin cash flows through 2030. The immediate $119 M catch-up should lift Q2-25 results and strengthen the balance sheet. Because InterDigital鈥檚 valuation hinges on monetizing its patent portfolio, locking in an eight-year, billion-dollar deal with a top-tier OEM materially de-risks forecasts and could support multiple expansion.

TL;DR: Long-term license secured, but scope excludes TVs/monitors, leaving some revenue untapped.

The award confirms Samsung鈥檚 continued reliance on InterDigital鈥檚 wireless IP and demonstrates the legal enforceability of the portfolio. However, the agreement omits television and monitor categories, which remain under a separate contract; investors should avoid assuming incremental upside from those segments. Still, the combination of an eight-year term and fixed royalties reduces litigation risk and supports strategic planning for both parties.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.2

The Company is a Virginia corporation. The Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) permits indemnification of a corporation’s directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act. Sections 13.1-697 and 13.1-702 of the VSCA generally authorize a Virginia corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation if acting in his or her official capacity with the corporation or, in all other cases, at least not opposed to its best interests, and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Additionally, Section 13.1-704 of the VSCA provides that a Virginia corporation has the power to make any further indemnity to any director or officer, including under its articles of incorporation or any by-law or shareholder resolution, except an indemnity against their willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. The Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation require the Company to indemnify the Company’s directors, officers and other eligible persons to the full extent permitted by the VSCA.

The Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation also provide that, to the full extent that the VSCA permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, officers and other eligible persons, no director, officer or such eligible person of the Company shall be liable to the Company or the Company’s shareholders for monetary damages arising out of any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct. Section 13.1-692.1 of the VSCA permits the elimination of liability of directors and officers in any proceeding brought by or in the right of a corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of a corporation, except for liability resulting from such persons having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law, including, without limitation, any unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security. Sections 13.1-692.1 and 13.1-696 to -704 of the VSCA are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Company’s directors pursuant to which the Company agrees to (i) indemnify, including advancing expenses to, each of them against any liabilities that he or she may incur as a result of his or her service as a director of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and (ii) advance expenses reasonably incurred by him or her to the extent not prohibited by applicable law and in accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation. The Company carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees or agents that may cover liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, on July 29, 2025.
