XM and Sirius to merge
Press Release Source: SIRIUS Satellite Radio; XM Satellite Radio
SIRIUS and XM to Combine in $13 Billion Merger of Equals
Monday February 19, 2:47 pm ET
Provides Consumers with Enhanced Content, Greater Choices and Accelerated Technological Innovation
Enables Satellite Radio to Better Compete in Rapidly Evolving Audio Entertainment Industry
Extraordinary Value Creation for Shareholders
Mel Karmazin to Serve as Chief Executive Officer and Gary Parsons to Serve as Chairman of Combined Company
WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR - News) and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News)
today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement, under which the companies will be combined in a tax-free, all-stock merger of
equals with a combined enterprise value of approximately $13 billion, which includes net debt of approximately $1.6 billion.
ADVERTISEMENT
Under the terms of the agreement, XM shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 4.6 shares of SIRIUS common stock for each share of XM they
own. XM and SIRIUS shareholders will each own approximately 50 percent of the combined company.
Mel Karmazin, currently Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS, will become Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and Gary Parsons, currently
Chairman of XM, will become Chairman of the combined company. The new company's board of directors will consist of 12 directors, including Messrs.
Karmazin and Parsons, four independent members designated by each company, as well as one representative from each of General Motors and American
Honda. Hugh Panero, the Chief Executive Officer of XM, will continue in his current role until the anticipated close of the merger.
The combined company will benefit from a highly experienced management team from both companies with extensive industry knowledge in radio, media,
consumer electronics, OEM engineering and technology. Further management appointments will be announced prior to closing. The companies will continue
to operate independently until the transaction is completed and will work together to determine the combined company's corporate name and headquarters
location prior to closing.
The combination creates a nationwide audio entertainment provider with combined 2006 revenues of approximately $1.5 billion based on analysts'
consensus estimates. Today the companies have approximately 14 million combined subscribers. Together, SIRIUS and XM will create a stronger platform
for future innovation within the audio entertainment industry and will provide significant benefits to all constituencies, including:
* Greater Programming and Content Choices -- The combined company is
committed to consumer choice, including offering consumers the ability
to pick and choose the channels and content they want on a more a la
carte basis. The combined company will also provide consumers with a
broader selection of content, including a wide range of commercial-free
music channels, exclusive and non-exclusive sports coverage, news,
talk, and entertainment programming. Together, XM and SIRIUS will be
able to improve on products such as real-time traffic and rear-seat
video and introduce new ones such as advanced data services including
enhanced traffic, weather and infotainment offerings.
* Accelerated Technological Innovation -- The merger will enable the
combined company to develop and introduce a wider range of lower cost,
easy-to-use, and multi-functional devices through efficiencies in chip
set and radio design and procurement. Such innovation is essential to
remaining competitive in the consumer electronics-driven world of audio
entertainment.
* Benefits to OEM and Retail Partners -- The combined company will offer
automakers and retailers the opportunity to provide a broader content
offering to their customers. Consumer electronics retailers, including
Best Buy, Circuit City, RadioShack, Wal-Mart and others, will benefit
from enhanced product offerings that should allow satellite radio to
compete more effectively.
* Enhanced Financial Performance -- This transaction will enhance the
long-term financial success of satellite radio by allowing the combined
company to better manage its costs through sales and marketing and
subscriber acquisition efficiencies, satellite fleet synergies, combined
R&D and other benefits from economies of scale. Wall Street equity
analysts have published estimates of the present value of cost synergies
ranging from $3 billion to $7 billion.
* More Competitive Audio Entertainment Provider -- The combination of an
enhanced programming lineup with improved technology, distribution and
financials will better position satellite radio to compete for
consumers' attention and entertainment dollars against a host of
products and services in the highly competitive and rapidly evolving
audio entertainment marketplace. In addition to existing competition
from free "over-the-air" AM and FM radio as well as iPods and mobile
phone streaming, satellite radio will face new challenges from the rapid
growth of HD Radio, Internet radio and next generation wireless
technologies.
"We are excited for the many opportunities that an XM and SIRIUS combination will provide consumers," said Gary Parsons, Chairman of XM Satellite
Radio and Hugh Panero, CEO of XM Satellite Radio, in a joint statement. "The combined company will be better positioned to compete effectively with
the continually expanding array of entertainment alternatives that consumers have embraced since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) first
granted our satellite radio licenses a decade ago."
"This combination is the next logical step in the evolution of audio entertainment," said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS Satellite Radio. "Together, our
best-in-class management team and programming content will create unprecedented choice for consumers, while creating long-term value for shareholders
of both companies. The combined company will be positioned to capitalize on SIRIUS and XM's complementary distribution and licensing agreements to
enhance availability of satellite radios, offer expanded content to subscribers, drive increased advertising revenue and reduce expenses. Each of our
companies has a strong commitment to providing listeners the broadest range of music, news, sports and entertainment and the best customer service
possible. We look forward to sharing the benefits of the exciting new growth opportunities this combination will provide with all of our
stakeholders."
The transaction is subject to approval by both companies' shareholders, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory review and
approvals, including antitrust agencies and the FCC. Pending regulatory approval, the companies expect the transaction to be completed by the end of
2007.
SIRIUS's financial advisor on the transaction is Morgan Stanley and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Wiley Rein LLP are acting as legal counsel.
XM's financial advisor on the transaction is J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP; Jones Day; and Latham & Watkins
LLP are acting as legal counsel.

Im really happy with Sirius. I listen to it all the time in my car, and I love the variety. Sirius just recently added a 90s station that plays all
of the grunge and alternative I grew up listening to in junior high and high school. You know... all of the stuff most people on Thorp hate. 
This merger has me pretty excited by the possibilities. Things will change with both services, obviously, but now we'll get the best of both
services. I'll get to hear red sox games now! I wonder what's gonna happen to some of the DJs though. There wont be a need for 2 metal stations.
How are they gonna choose which one they'll keep? That goes across the board obviously.

the words "never saw that coming". = SARCASM.
Now I may have to get it and then tolerate all the original XM and sirius customers talking about "the way it was" before the merge.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

People have been asking Stern about this for a while.
Competition is a good thing. Therefore this merger is a bad thing in my opinion.

I like the "greater choices" line when 2 companies merge. Well since you are selling the same product, there's now a lot of redundant channels in the
service that will likely be axed. I'm guessing they mean some channels or genres one had but not the other, now offering that choice after the merge.
My guess is cut 10% of channels as redundant and the new services on either side will only account for about 1%, hardly greater choice.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

well there are redundant channels but there is a ton of shit that one service has that the other doesn't
Sirius has Howard, Bubba The Love Sponge, Marth Stewart, NBA, NFL, NASCAR, Eminem channel, The Who channel, Rolling Stones, and Elvis channels, etc
XM has O&A, Oprah, punk/hardcore channel, MLB and I'm sure a bunch of other shit I don't know about. As long as the price doesn't go up too much and
I don't have to buy all new radios then it will be cool.

ahaha agreed. I stopped listening to radio years ago, 1 good song out of 20 got boring. My new iPod with only 1,000 songs is keeping me busy and I'm
ripping cd's and adding more all the time. Shuffle mode is good variety

I've recently come to the conclusion that without Howard, Sirius is a complete waste. Like Muttley said they play the same fuckin shit on the music
channels all the time. I can make infinite playlists on my iPod and that's free. When Howard hits the road so will I.

i disagree about sirius "needing" stern, i dont have nor do i want an ipod and regular radio is terrible, not to mention all the commercials. with
satellite you have a channel that for the most part will meet your needs whenever you have a mood for a particular type of music. i dont like bringing
tons of cds in the car because a. they have been stolen in the past, b. i never know for sure what im going to want to listen to. its well worth a few
bucks a month....imo

the numbers alone prove without a doubt that Sirius needs Stern. he, alone, increased their subscriptions by the millions literally.

from a business point of view, absolutely. im saying for me personally, being a stern fan for probably 15 years, its not the only reason to enjoy
sirius. to me its one of the best purchases i ever made. i may have used the wrong word, "need", yes sirius needs him. but without him, sirius is
still a great music, talk and sports service....

You know how on most Sirius units you can set alerts for bands you like? I have all 30 of mine set with different bands and it's always the same
fuckin song for every band. For instance...I get a Madball alert, it's that song "Heaven/Hell" off their new album, or Life Of Agony is always
"Through And Through" or "This Time". For the past month every time Hard Attack plays Megadeth it's this new song "Gears Of War", always. It drives
me nuts. Not to mention they repeat entire playlists sometimes. Example...I'll listen to whatever channel from 5 to 6 pm today...and then on Sunday
it will be the exact same playlist in the same order and everything. I listen to music almost constantly and shit like this just irritates me.

You have to clarify these things!
I personally don't own any of these services and probably never will, I just don't spend that much time around a radio, when I'm in my vehicle I
listen to Cd's or AM talk radio. The more I hear about the repetitiveness of the playlists, the more I wonder why anyone messes with this stuff. Thats
why I figured Stern was the only thing they had goin, they lose him and they lose ALOT of subscribers I think.
