SiriusXM intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of its outstanding 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022 and to repay, in part, borrowings outstanding under its senior secured credit facility. Beginning August 1, 2021, the company may redeem the 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022 at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. Pending application of the offering proceeds to redeem the 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022, SiriusXM currently expects to use all of the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under its senior secured credit facility.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S.
