**InterDigital, Inc. Commences a Modified "Dutch Auction" Tender Offer to Repurchase up to $200 Million of its Common Stock**

**WILMINGTON, DEL.** — January 23, 2023 —InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), ("InterDigital" or the "Company") announced today that it has commenced a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash up to $200 million of its common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price per share not less than $60.00 and not greater than $69.00, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, using available cash on hand. On January 20, 2023, the closing price of the Common Stock was $62.92 per share. The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 17, 2023, unless extended or terminated.

If the Tender Offer is fully subscribed, the Company will purchase between 2,898,550 shares and 3,333,333 shares, or between 9.8% and 11.2%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (which excludes shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units, conversion of our convertible notes or exercise of the related warrants, or shares that are reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plan). If shares having an aggregate purchase price of more than $200 million are tendered in the Tender Offer and not properly withdrawn, the Company reserves the right to accept for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer up to an additional 2% of its outstanding Common Stock without extending the expiration date of the Tender Offer. Any shares tendered may be withdrawn prior to expiration of the Tender Offer. Stockholders that do not wish to participate in the Tender Offer do not need to take any action. None of our directors or executive officers will tender any of their shares in the Tender Offer.

A modified "Dutch auction" tender offer allows stockholders to indicate how many shares of Common Stock and at what price within the range described above they wish to tender their shares. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, the Company will determine the lowest per-share price that will enable it to acquire up to $200 million of Common Stock. All shares accepted in the Tender Offer will be purchased at the same price even if tendered at a lower price.

To tender shares of Common Stock, stockholders must follow the instructions described in the "Offer to Purchase" and the "Letter of Transmittal" that the Company is filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These documents contain important information about the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. Participants in the InterDigital, Inc. Savings and Protection Plan seeking to tender shares held by such plan must follow the tender procedures and instructions that will be provided separately to participants by or on behalf of the plan trustee by the earlier deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 14, 2023.

The Tender Offer will not be contingent upon any minimum number of shares being tendered or any financing conditions. The Tender Offer will, however, be subject to other conditions. The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") believes that a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer is an efficient mechanism that will provide all stockholders with the opportunity to tender all or a portion of their shares. In the future, the Board may consider additional tender offer(s) or other measures to enhance stockholder value based on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Common Stock.

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP is serving as legal advisor to the Company.

The Board has authorized the Tender Offer. However, none of the Company, the Board or the dealer manager, the information agent, or the depositary for the Tender Offer or any of their respective affiliates are making any recommendation to stockholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their shares in the Tender Offer or as to the price at which stockholders may choose to tender their shares. No person is authorized to make any such recommendation. Stockholders must decide how many shares they will tender, if any, and the price within the stated range at which they will offer their shares for purchase. In doing so, stockholders should read carefully the information in, or incorporated by reference in, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal (as they may be amended or supplemented), including the purposes and effects of the Tender Offer. Stockholders are urged to discuss their decisions with their own tax advisors, financial advisors and/or brokers.

Jefferies LLC is acting as dealer manager for the Tender Offer. The information agent for the Tender Offer is D.F. King & Co. Inc., and the depositary is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. The Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and related documents will be mailed to registered holders. Beneficial holders will receive the Offer to Purchase and a communication from their bank, broker or custodian. For questions and information, please call the information agent toll-free at (800) 549-6864.
