ARRIS Announces Completion of Holding Company Formation

SUWANEE, Ga., April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group, Inc. today announced that effective April 16, 2013, it has reorganized its business by creating a new holding company structure.  The primary purpose of the reorganization was to facilitate ARRIS' proposed acquisition of the Motorola Home business from a subsidiary of Google, which ARRIS expects to close Wednesday, April 17, 2013.  The business operations of the company and its subsidiaries will not change as a result of the reorganization.

The new holding company will retain the name "ARRIS Group, Inc."  Outstanding shares of the capital stock of the former ARRIS Group, Inc. were automatically converted, on a share for share basis, into identical shares of common stock of the new holding company.  As a result, stockholders will not need to exchange their old stock certificates.  The common stock of the new holding company will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market System under the symbol "ARRS."  The certificate of incorporation, bylaws, executive officers and board of directors of the new holding company are the same as those of the former ARRIS Group, Inc. in effect immediately prior to the reorganization.  In addition, the rights, privileges and interests of the company's stockholders will remain the same with respect to the new holding company.

Additional information can be found in the Form 8-K which will be filed today with the Securities Exchange Commission.
