Remarks: |
As previously disclosed, the Issuer is proposing to separate its Liberty SiriusXM Group on September 9, 2024 by means of a redemptive split-off (the "Transaction"). To effect the Transaction, on September 9, 2024, the Issuer expects to contribute all of the assets and liabilities of the Liberty SiriusXM Group to Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Inc. ("New Sirius") and to redeem each share of its Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock ("LSXMA"), Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock ("LSXMB") and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock ("LSXMK") for a fraction of a share of common stock of New Sirius equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in that certain Reorganization Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2023, by and among Issuer, New Sirius and Sirius XM Holdings Inc., as amended from time to time (the "Reorganization Agreement")), with no shares of LSXMA, LSXMB or LSXMK remaining outstanding and with cash (without interest) paid in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of New Sirius, after aggregating all shares of common stock of New Sirius issuable by series of LSXMA, LSXMB and LSXMK. As a result of effecting the foregoing Transaction, New Sirius will be split-off from the Issuer and the Issuer will cease to have an equity interest in New Sirius. In connection with the proposed Transaction, the vesting of the equity award reported herein was accelerated to August 23, 2024 and such performance-based restricted stock units were deemed satisfied at 100% of "target" in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement. |
