*Historic Market Town Catches 'Litfest Fever'*

*PRNewswire*

*LONDON*

*April 16, 2010*

*LONDON, April 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- - Marlborough Wiltshire Launches Brand New Literature Festival 24 - 26 September 2010 It was announced today that the historic town of Marlborough, Wiltshire is to host its own literature festival for the first time this September. Headlining the 2010 festival are such literary giants as novelist Margaret Drabble, Lynn Barber - journalist and author whose intense memoir has been made into the BAFTA award winning film 'An Education' scripted by Nick Hornby, children's author Cressida Cowell, her latest book 'How to train your dragon' is out now as an animation by Dreamworks, poet Don Paterson, radio producer and bird enthusiast Tim Dee, broadcaster and novelist Louise Doughty, novelist Adam Foulds, journalist and biographer Valerie Grove, and novelist and artist Roma Tearne. There are a total of 15 events to choose from over the weekend with readings, discussions, children's events and a Poetry Cafe featuring local poets from Marlborough, Swindon and Reading. Other authors are: Anne Chisholm, Rachel Polonksy, Chris Wakling, Paul Sussman and Joshua Mowll. "We're committed to literature and putting writing, rather than celebrity first," says Mavis Cheek, local author and Festival founder member. "In a world where mass media prevails it's easy to overlook the value of the well written word in all its forms and the importance of those that write. It is writers, be they novelists, poets, playwrights, script writers, journalists or biographers, who record our world and shape our culture. Without them there would be no content for mass media." Marlborough has robust connections with the UK's literary heritage (such greats as Siegfried Sassoon, William Golding and Bruce Chatwin have links with the town) and an excellent range of venues offering the potential for both intimate and larger gatherings in historic, atmospheric buildings; these two features combined make it an ideal setting for a literature festival. Marlborough already hosts an annual jazz festival (July 10) and the Marlborough College Summer School (July/August); the new literature festival will add a complementary strand to its thriving cultural calendar. Over the last decade there has been an explosion of literary gatherings in both large and small towns across the country. Sometimes described as 'litfest fever', the success of this recent phenomenon has been ascribed to their inclusive nature and the fact that they offer a relatively inexpensive way for people to engage with culture at a grass roots level. The cost of meeting your favourite author at a litfest event when compared to a visit to the opera or theatre can appear extremely good value. Not only has the Literature Festival attracted some of the nation's best known and popular writers, it has also secured a wide range of commercial support. "The Authors Licensing & Collecting Society (ALCS) has been in on this since the beginning and has generously taken the role of founder sponsor," continues Mavis Cheek. "We couldn't have done this without them, or without the support of local businesses including Brewin Dolphin, specialist insurer Hiscox and Thring Townsend Lee and Pembertons. We are enormously grateful to all our sponsors and to our local partners such as libraries, schools and the army of volunteers who have helped to make this festival possible." Marlborough litfest goes on line The Marlborough LitFest website also launches today and full details of the events, venues and the Festival box office can be found at http://www.marlboroughlitfest.org Tickets go on sale from 1 June and range in price from GBP7.00. Editors' Notes Box Office Pound Arts Trust Limited, Corsham, +44(0)1249-701-628 Founder Sponsor, ALCS collects fees on behalf of the whole spectrum of UK writers: novelists, film & TV script writers, literary prize winners, poets and playwrights, freelance journalists, translators and adaptors, as well as thousands of professional and academic writers who include nurses, lawyers, teachers, scientists, and college lecturers. All writers are eligible to join ALCS: further details on membership can be found at http://www.alcs.co.uk The Society collects fees that are difficult, time-consuming or legally impossible for writers and their representatives to claim on an individual basis money that is nonetheless due to them. Fees collected are distributed to writers twice a year in February and August. Since its inception, ALCS has distributed over GBP230 million to the nation's writers. Lead Sponsor, Brewin Dolphin Brewin Dolphin is one of the UK's leading investment managers with 40 offices nationwide. The Marlborough branch is among the Group's larger regional offices with over 30 staff looking after the personal portfolios, pensions and financial planning needs of private individuals, Charities and Trusts, both locally and throughout the world.

These factors include, but are not limited to: the risk that customer use of DivX technology may not grow as anticipated; the risk that anticipated market opportunities may not materialize at expected levels, or at all; the risk that the Company's financial performance for the third quarter of 2010 may not meet expectations; the risk that the Company's activities may not result in the growth of profitable revenue; risks and uncertainties related to the maintenance and strength of the DivX brand; the Company's ability to penetrate existing and new markets; the effects of competition; the Company's dependence on its licensees and partners; the effect of intellectual property rights claims; the risks and uncertainties related to the failure to satisfy the conditions of the pending merger, including failure to obtain the required approvals of DivX and Sonic Solutions stockholders, including the approval of a majority of DivX stockholders; the costs and expenses associated with the pending merger; contractual restrictions on the conduct of DivX's business included in the merger agreement; the potential loss of key personnel, disruption of DivX's business or any impact on DivX's relationships with third parties as a result of the pending merger; any delay in consummating the proposed merger or the failure to consummate the transaction; and the outcome of, or expenses associated with, any litigation which may arise in connection with the pending merger; and other factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. DivX is providing this information as of the date of this release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this release as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required under applicable securities laws. *

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures; GAAP EPS*

*DivX has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation expense, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, the foreign exchange impact of our Euro-denominated intercompany loan, the impact of contingent consideration fair value adjustments related to the acquisition of AnySource Media, the non-cash charge for adjustments to our deferred tax assets, expenses related to the proposed merger transaction between DivX and Sonic Solutions, and the gain on the purchase of MainConcept Japan Controlling interest. This non-GAAP information is provided to enhance the reader's overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe this information provides useful comparative data by excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, which is not consistent from period-to-period. Also, we believe that the exclusion of amortization of purchased intangible assets, the impact of contingent consideration fair value adjustments related to the acquisition of AnySource Media, the foreign exchange impact of our Euro-denominated intercompany loan, the change in value of certain tax deferred assets, the expenses related to the proposed merger transaction, and the gain on purchase of MainConcept Japan Controlling interest provides useful comparative data by reflecting our business operations in a manner that is consistent with expected future operations. Management has historically used non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of our core operating results and facilitates comparisons of our core operating performance against prior periods and our business model objectives. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States*

*. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.*

*We will continue to evaluate the factors that might impact non-cash share-based compensation expense and accruals for income tax expense. The non-cash share-based compensation expense is expected to vary depending on the number of new grants issued to both current and new employees, and changes in the Company's stock price, stock market volatility, expected option life, and risk-free interest rates (all of which are difficult to estimate). In addition, the factors that impact our deferred tax assets are expected to vary from period-to-period, also making our effective tax rate difficult to estimate. *

*Additional Information *

*This press release is not a solicitation of a proxy, an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Sonic Solutions, and it is not a substitute for any proxy statement or other filings that may be made with the SEC with respect to the proposed merger.
