Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of 1,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock and 11,500,000 shares of B-2 Preferred Stock (collectively, the Shares) on March 6, 2009, in connection with the consummation of certain transactions (collectively, the Transaction) pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to invest up to an aggregate of $530 million in the form of loans to the Issuer and XM Satellite Radio Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (XM Radio). The Transaction was carried out in two separate phases and in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2009, between the Issuer and Purchaser (the Investment Agreement). On February 17, 2009, the Reporting Person and the Issuer entered into a credit agreement (the Sirius Credit Agreement) pursuant to which the Reporting Person made available to the Issuer a $280 million senior secured loan facility. On March 6, 2009, the Reporting Person and XM Radio entered into a credit agreement (the XM Credit Agreement) pursuant to which the Reporting Person made available to XM Radio a $150 million senior secured loan facility and purchased by assignment and assumption an additional $100 million of outstanding loans under XM Radios existing senior secured credit facilities. In connection with the foregoing, on March 6, 2009 (the Closing Date), the Issuer issued the Shares to Purchaser in exchange for an aggregate cash purchase price of $12,500 and as additional consideration for the XM Credit Agreement loans. The Reporting Person obtained the amounts required for the payment of such cash purchase price and the funding of the above-described loans from its working capital.
At the option of the holder, each share of B-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into 206.9581409 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations of the B-1 Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 5, 2009 (B-1 Certificate of Designations).
The shares of B-2 Preferred Stock are non-voting. Shares of B-2 Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of B-1 Preferred Stock (on a one-to-one basis) or into shares of Common Stock at the same conversion rate as the shares of B-1 Preferred Stock, subject in either case to the prior expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act). The expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act occured on March 30, 2009. On April 21, 2009, all shares of B-2 Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person were converted into shares of B-1 Preferred Stock, so that immediately after such conversion the Reporting Person held a total of 12,500,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock.
In the event that the holder transfers shares of Preferred Stock to unaffiliated third parties, such shares of Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock. |

From the second anniversary of the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written approval of the Independent Common Directors, none of Purchaser or any of its affiliates may, directly or indirectly, acquire, offer or propose to acquire or agree to acquire beneficial ownership of any Common Stock if such acquisition will result in Purchaser and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of 49.9% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, unless such acquisition or offer or agreement is made pursuant to a cash tender offer for all the outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not then beneficially owned by Purchaser or its affiliates at a price per share greater than the closing price of Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the earlier of the public announcement or commencement of such tender offer.
Unless otherwise permitted, until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written approval of the Independent Common Directors, none of Purchaser or any of its affiliates may, directly or indirectly:
· enter into or agree, offer, propose or seek to enter into an acquisition transaction, merger or other business combination relating to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or an acquisition transaction for their assets;

Anti-takeover Protections
In connection with the execution of the Investment Agreement, the board of directors of the Issuer adopted certain resolutions (the Section 203 Resolutions) approving the Liberty Parties (as defined in the Investment Agreement) and certain related persons as interested stockholders within the meaning of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (Section 203), thereby exempting such persons from the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203.
In addition, the Investment Agreement prohibits the Issuer from (i) amending, modifying or rescinding the Section 203 Resolutions, (ii) adopting any rights plan or charter or bylaw provision that would materially adversely affect Purchasers ability to acquire or dispose of the Issuers equity securities to a Liberty Party (as defined in the Investment Agreement) or in block transactions (after the third anniversary of the Closing Date), or that otherwise would impose material economic burdens on Purchasers ability to do so.
Transfer Restrictions
Except as otherwise permitted by the Investment Agreement, until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser may not transfer any Preferred Stock or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock to any person except for certain transfers, including:

If any Holder decides to distribute Registrable Securities through an underwritten or other marketed offering, the Issuer must take reasonable steps to facilitate such offering, subject to certain exceptions and black-out periods. The Holders are entitled to piggyback registration rights in respect of the Registrable Securities during any period when an effective shelf registration statement is not available. The Issuer will be obligated to indemnify the Holders, and each Holder will be obligated to indemnify the Issuer, against specified liabilities in connection with misstatements or omissions in any registration statement. |

Participation Right
Subject to certain requirements and limitations, in the event the Issuer issues or sells certain equity securities or rights to acquire equity securities in any one or a series of related transactions, Purchaser has the right to purchase from the Issuer either such equity securities or, at Purchasers option, securities of the Issuer having substantially the same terms as such equity securities issued or sold, up to an amount sufficient for Purchaser to maintain its then current pro rata equity interest in the Issuer. Participation rights may be assigned or transferred from Purchaser to a Liberty Party.

Prior to the third anniversary of the closing (unless Purchaser and the other Liberty Parties beneficially own in the aggregate a majority of the voting capital stock of the Issuer), Purchaser and each Liberty Party shall vote any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them (excluding for this purpose shares of B-1 Preferred Stock, which has the power to elect directors described below) in favor of the election of directors nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Issuer, and shall not nominate, designate, vote for or solicit proxies with respect to any director not so nominated.
B-1 Certificate of Designations
Voting with Common Stock
Holders of B-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of Common Stock, other than the election of directors, and are entitled to notice of stockholders meetings. When voting with Common Stock, the holders of B-1 Preferred Stock will have a number of votes per share of B-1 Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share of B-1 Preferred Stock is then convertible. Each share of B-1 Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 206.9581409 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the B-1 Certificate of Designations.
Representation on the Board of Directors and Committees of the Issuer
The B-1 Certificate of Designations provides that so long as the holders of B-1 Preferred Stock hold a specified number of shares of B-1 Preferred Stock, they will have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to appoint and elect directors (B-1 Directors) as follows:
· for as long as at least 1,000,000 but less than 3,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock (or, if less than 1,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock are then outstanding, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock and B-2 Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock may appoint and elect one director;

· for as long as at least 5,000,000 but less than 7,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock may appoint and elect three directors (at least one of whom must be an independent director);
· for as long as at least 7,000,000 but less than 9,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock may appoint and elect four directors (at least two of whom must be independent directors); |
8
· for as long as at least 9,000,000 but less than 11,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock may appoint and elect five directors (at least two of whom must be independent directors); and
· for as long as at least 11,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock may appoint and elect six directors (at least three of whom must be independent directors).
If at any time the total number of directors does not equal 15, the number of directors the holders of B-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to appoint and elect will be adjusted proportionately. The holders of B-1 Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect the B-1 Directors in connection with any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer at which directors are to be elected or by written consent in lieu of a meeting. If there are not sufficient vacancies on the board of directors to permit the election or appointment of all B-1 Directors which the holders of B-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to elect, the number of directors will be increased to accommodate such additional B-1 Directors. Holders of B-1 Preferred Stock have the right to designate a replacement director to the board of directors of the Issuer in order to fill any vacancy of a B-1 Director.
For so long as at least 3,000,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock have the right, subject to compliance with law, to designate one or more B-1 Directors as members of each committee of the Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations and restrictions such as the requirement of independent directors under applicable stock exchange rules.
John C. Malone, Gregory B. Maffei and David J.A. Flowers currently serve as B-1 Directors. Each of Messrs. Malone, Maffei and Flowers is an executive officer of Liberty, and Mr. Malone and Mr. Maffei are members of Libertys board of directors.
Consent Rights
For so long as an aggregate of at least 6,250,000 shares of B-1 Preferred Stock and B-2 Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries will take any of the following actions without obtaining the prior written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of B-1 Preferred Stock and B-2 Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class:

9

· conducting or engaging in any business in any material respect other than the business in which the Issuer and its subsidiaries are engaged as of the date hereof and any business reasonably related or complementary thereto;
· amending, altering, repealing, or adding any provision to the Certificate of Incorporation of Issuer (including, without limitation, the B-1 Certificate of Designations) or By-laws of Issuer in a manner that adversely affects the powers, rights, privileges or preferences of the holders of B-1 Preferred Stock and/or the B-2 Preferred Stock;
