SIRIUS XM Radio and Liberty Media Reach Agreement for Investment
Tuesday February 17, 7:57 am ET


Liberty Makes Loan to SIRIUS XM to Repay 2 1/2% Convertible Notes due February 17, 2009
Agreement Provides for Additional Loan

Liberty to Acquire SIRIUS XM Preferred Stock and Board Representation in Connection with Investments

Publicit�

NEW YORK and ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) and Liberty Media Corporation (Nasdaq: LINTA - News, LINTB - News, LCAPA - News, LCAPB - News, LMDIA - News, LMDIB - News) today announced that they have entered into agreements pursuant to which Liberty will invest an aggregate of $530 million in the form of loans to SIRIUS XM and its subsidiaries and receive an equity interest in SIRIUS XM.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/200 ... YTU044LOGO )

Under the terms of the agreements, the investments will be funded in two separate phases.


The first phase includes a $280 million senior secured loan from Liberty to SIRIUS XM, $250 million of which will be funded today. The proceeds of that loan will be used by SIRIUS XM to repay $171.6 million of its maturing 2 1/2% Convertible Notes due February 17, 2009, and the balance will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and transaction costs. The loan will bear interest at a rate of 15%, mature in December 2012, and be secured by the assets securing SIRIUS XM's existing term credit agreement.

The second phase provides an additional loan of $150 million to XM Satellite Radio, SIRIUS XM's wholly owned subsidiary. Liberty has also agreed to offer to purchase up to $100 million of the loans outstanding under XM Satellite Radio's existing credit facilities from the lenders.
Upon completion of the second phase of the Liberty investments, SIRIUS XM will issue Liberty an aggregate of 12.5 million shares of preferred stock convertible into 40% of the common stock of SIRIUS XM. In addition, Liberty will receive seats on the SIRIUS XM Board of Directors proportionate to its equity ownership. It is expected that John Malone and Greg Maffei will join the SIRIUS XM Board of Directors. Liberty's obligation to consummate the second phase of its investment is subject to various closing conditions.

Mel Karmazin, Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS XM Radio, said, "We are pleased to have come to this agreement with Liberty Media, particularly in light of today's challenging credit markets. Liberty's investment is an important validation of what SIRIUS XM has already achieved and a vote of confidence in what we will achieve. This agreement enables Sirius XM to continue to develop the opportunities first outlined in the merger of Sirius and XM. By strengthening our capital structure and enhancing our financial flexibility, this investment allows us to continue providing the great content and innovative programming our subscribers know and love."

"We are excited to be investing in SIRIUS XM. We have been impressed with the company, its operations and management team," said Greg Maffei, president and CEO of Liberty. "SIRIUS XM's ability to grow subscribers and revenue in a difficult financial and auto market is indicative of how listeners view this as a "must have" service."

The agreements, and the transactions contemplated by the agreements, do not constitute a change in control for SIRIUS XM under its outstanding debt instruments and are not subject to the approval of the Federal Communications Commission. The receipt by Liberty of voting stock is subject to expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

Important details of the agreements relating to this investment will be available on a Current Report on Form 8-K which SIRIUS XM expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liberty has advised that its investment will be attributed to the Liberty Capital group and is not expected to affect the timing of the previously announced split-off of a portion of Liberty Entertainment.

Para restruturar a SIRI, se calhar o melhor era mesmo a falençia, tem de renegoçiar contratos milionários com NFL, Howard Stern, Oprah, GM, Chrysler... Se pedissem o Ch. 11, podiam fazer novos contratos com novas condições, apesar de que poderia criar a debandada dos cerca de 19 milhões de utilizadores devido ao descredito de recorrer á falençia.

Mas caso decretem a falencia para depois fazerem a restruturação os titulos que temos valem 0$?Ou caso reabram com novas administração ainda valem alguma coisa?

Eu estava a falar apenas da SIRI, devido a tua questão em relação a Mel Karmazin em eventualmente pretender o Ch. 11.

Quanto a nós iamos á vida e sem €. Claro que não é isto que eu quero, nem outros investidores e inclusive credores.

O unico que pretende a falençia é Charles Ergen que tem comprado a divida de forma a provocar a falençia, visto que o Mel odeia-o e não aceitou uma proposta dele em Dezembro. ergen ia correr com o Mel da SIRI.

Under the proposed agreement, Liberty would invest several hundred million dollars in Sirius in two stages and eventually control about half of the company, the people said.

Both sides were still negotiating final details, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. But Liberty Media appeared as if it would edge out media tycoon Charles Ergen for a significant stake in Sirius XM, the report added. Liberty Media and Sirius XM hoped to announce a deal before the opening of the New York stock market Tuesday, the report said.

The New York Times reports Malone is to pay about $265 million now -- which will be used to pay off the $175 million that Sirius XM owes Ergen -- as well as make a second payment of up to about $200 million in the fall to help pay off about another $400 million that Sirius will owe.

The deal also would allow Mel Karmazin, CEO of Sirius XM, to save his job, the Times reports.

It was reported by the Journal on Monday that a group of Sirius XM creditors says it is ready to try to oust Karmazin and other top executives if the troubled satellite radio company files for bankruptcy protection.

Liberty Media controls DirecTV(DTV Quote - Cramer on DTV - Stock Picks), the nation's leading satellite-TV operator.

Sirius XM shares closed Friday up 3 cents at 10 cents. U.S. stock markets were closed Monday in observance of Presidents' Day.

Liberty Media has three tracking stocks: Liberty Interactive(LINTA Quote - Cramer on LINTA - Stock Picks), Liberty Capital(LCAPA Quote - Cramer on LCAPA - Stock Picks) and Liberty Entertainment(LMDIA Quote - Cramer on LMDIA - Stock Picks).

Liberty talks with Sirius do not involve takeover-source

Fri Feb 13, 2009 9:17am NEW YORK, Feb 13

Reuters) - Liberty Media Corp (LINTA.O) is in talks with Sirius XM Radio Inc (SIRI.O) to invest in the satellite radio company's capital structure, but the talks do not involve a takeover of the company, a source familiar with the talks said on Friday.

The talks between the two companies are friendly and do not include an equity stake, the source said.

Another person familiar with the talks said both EchoStar Corp (SATS.O) and Liberty Media continue intense talks with Sirius XM.

The discussions with EchoStar are more of a hostile nature while Liberty's talks are co-operative with Sirius management, but a winning party remains uncertain, the people said.

Sirius XM's talks with Liberty are seen as a last-ditch attempt by Sirius chief Mel Karmazin to stave off a takeover bid by Charles Ergen's EchoStar, which holds $175 million in Sirius convertible bonds due on Feb 17.

Industry experts have said a Sirius bankruptcy is likely if the company does not cut a deal with either party. (Reporting by Jui Chakravorty Das; Editing by Derek Caney)

Karmazin Seeks Sirius Salvation With Ergen-Malone ‘Cage Match’

By Serena Saitto and James Callan

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Mel Karmazin, chief executive of Sirius XM Radio Inc., is pitting two media billionaires in a “cage match” to save the satellite-radio company he formed almost seven months ago.

Karmazin is in talks with John Malone’s Liberty Media Corp. and DirecTV Group Inc., the satellite-television company it controls, about a possible transaction, according to people familiar with the situation, who declined to be identified. A deal may help avert a takeover by Charles Ergen’s EchoStar Corp., which holds $175 million in bonds due Feb. 17.

“John Malone and Charlie Ergen would both be absolutely satisfied to put down the other in a public way,” Bishop Cheen, a bond analyst at Wachovia Securities in Charlotte, North Carolina, said in an interview. “They’re natural cage-match contestants. This is media theater at its best.”

Malone and Ergen, both based in Englewood, Colorado, control the largest and second-largest satellite-TV broadcasters respectively and could use Sirius XM’s capacity to integrate radio and TV services, according to Fred Moran, an analyst at Stanford Group. Over the decades, the two men have competed for customers and over acquisitions. In 2003, Ergen, 55, abandoned a bid on DirecTV’s then-parent company, Hughes Electronics Corp.

EchoStar has been buying some of New York-based Sirius XM’s debt after Karmazin turned down its unsolicited bid for the company, a person familiar with the plan said Feb. 10.

‘Cunning Negotiators’

“These are three of the most cunning negotiators on the planet,” said Chris Marangi, an analyst for Rye, New York-based Gabelli & Co., whose affiliate Gamco Investors Inc. owns Liberty and EchoStar shares. “It’s logical for Karmazin to pick up the phone and call Malone. There are very few people in the world who know the value of the subscriber business and the spectrum and can come up with the financial engineering to pull it all off.”

A deal with Malone, 67, or Ergen may prevent Sirius XM from seeking bankruptcy protection. The broadcaster has been working with lawyers to prepare a possible filing, the New York Times said Feb. 10, citing unidentified people close to the company.

Karmazin, 65, completed the merger of Sirius and XM, the only two U.S. pay-radio providers, in July, after the credit- market crisis took hold. Sirius XM has about $3.25 billion in total debt. The stock has traded for less than $1 a share since September as investors became concerned that Karmazin wouldn’t be able to manage the debt or meet growth projections.

Patrick Reilly, a spokesman for Sirius XM, declined to comment, as did Marc Lumpkin, a spokesman for EchoStar. Robert Mercer, a spokesman for El Segundo, California-based DirecTV, said the company doesn’t comment on speculation.

Calls to Ergen’s and Malone’s offices weren’t returned.

EchoStar Dispute

Karmazin, who was president of Viacom Inc. until June 2004, has feuded with Ergen too. Viacom was at the time the owner of the CBS broadcast-TV network, since spun off.

Ergen, who founded EchoStar in 1980, sued Viacom in January 2004, claiming it was breaking antitrust laws by demanding that EchoStar carry less-popular cable networks to continue running the signals of the CBS stations.

During the dispute, resolved later that year, Viacom kept its channels off the Dish network for two days and callers to EchoStar were greeted with a recording that divulged Karmazin’s home telephone number, Mediaweek reported on Oct. 11, 2004.

Sirius XM rose 2 cents to 7 cents in Nasdaq Stock Market trading yesterday. EchoStar, down 57 percent in the past year, rose 6 cents to $15.21. DirecTV gained 54 cents to $23.48 and has declined 1.7 percent in the past year.

EchoStar, a satellite-equipment company, was separated from Dish Network Corp., the television service also controlled by Ergen, at the beginning of last year.

Ergen ranked 35th in Forbes’s list of the 400 wealthiest Americans with an estimated fortune of $8.1 billion last year. Malone’s net worth was $2.3 billion in 2008, according to Forbes.

Malone’s DirecTV

Malone gained control of DirecTV last year after buying out News Corp.’s stake. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. had bought the stake in 2003, after Ergen dropped his bid on DirecTV’s parent company because he couldn’t get regulatory approval.

Dish Network had 13.8 million customers as of Sept. 30, trailing DirecTV’s 17.3 million. Sirius XM, which lured customers with programs including talk-show host Howard Stern and the National Football League, has more than 18.9 million subscribers.

“All of these companies are satellite-delivered media,” said Stanford Group analyst Moran, who is based in Boca Raton, Florida. “If you can cross-market, cross-promote and intertwine services between satellite video and satellite audio, you could strengthen your competitive position.”

UBS AG, Switzerland’s largest investment bank, is advising DirecTV on its talks with Sirius, according to people familiar with the matter. Douglas Morris, UBS spokesman in New York, declined to comment.

Roger Altman, CEO of investment bank Evercore Partners Inc., confirmed on a conference call last week that his firm is working with Sirius XM. He wouldn’t say whether the work involves mergers and acquisitions or restructuring.

Isto está muito confuso e começam a aparecer outros interessados, até porque a falençia, pelos vistos, só interessa a SIRI. Penso que alguem vai ter de se chegar á frente...

February 12, 2009: 06:07 AM ET

(alleyinsider.com) -- Echostar mogul Charlie Ergen bought $175 million of Sirius bonds so he could force Sirius's Mel Karmazin to hand over the company when it came time (now) for Sirius to refinance the debt. The bonds Charlie bought, however, are subordinated, which means that, if Sirius files for bankruptcy, Charlie gets nothing.

Meanwhile, Sirius boss Mel Karmazin, who hates Charlie, has run to John Malone at Liberty for help. John Malone's no fool, though, so he's holding Mel's head under the water while Mel's cash runs out, hoping that the oxygen deprivation will soon force him to cut a super-sweet deal.

Charlie Ergen's bet is that Mel will get his pants sued off if he rejects an Echostar takeover because of a personal feud. Mel, meanwhile, is doing his best to show both Malone and Ergen that he's happy to throw the company into bankruptcy just to wipe out Ergen.

Stay tuned...

Matthew Karnitschnig, WSJ: Mr. Ergen, who controls a satellite empire around EchoStar Corp. and Dish, quietly began amassing Sirius debt in the fall. He is now using that debt, including about $175 million in bonds that mature on Feb. 17, as leverage to try to force Sirius into a deal. Sirius, which carries a total debt load of about $3.25 billion, is nearly out of cash and will likely be forced into bankruptcy proceedings or a deal with Mr. Ergen if the company can't secure funds to repay its obligations by Tuesday.

Mr. Ergen has offered to inject about $500 million into Sirius and restructure the roughly $375 million in short-term debt he holds in return for control of the company. Sirius rejected the offer.

The gamesmanship between Sirius and Mr. Ergen has escalated over the past week. Sirius had been trying to convert the $175 million debt tranche that matures Tuesday into more senior debt and equity with the previous holder of the notes, a hedge fund. Before it could secure a deal, however, Mr. Ergen swooped in last week and acquired the bonds.

It was a high-risk move because the notes in question are junior to about $600 million in bank loans and other debt Sirius has issued, and will likely be worthless if the company goes bankrupt.

This week, Sirius representatives responded to Mr. Ergen's move by spreading word that the company was preparing to file for bankruptcy and had hired bankruptcy and restructuring advisers. Company officials also privately told investors that Sirius has entered a "zone of insolvency" and that a bankruptcy filing would be preferable to cutting a deal with Mr. Ergen, according to people who participated in the discussions.

And, of course, Mel rushed to see John Malone.

Entao já cairam as tuas?

[rasteiro]

tenho duas ordens.
Uma a 0.04 e outra a 0.05.
Mas pareçe que a pré abertura já vai nos 0.07.
Ainda faltem 45m. para a abertura, por isso até lá ainda pode variar muito.

Abraços

a unica noticia recente que saiu á cerca da Sirius é a que o CORVO47, mencionou.

Por isso vamos esperar para ver.
Mas que a abertura pareçe RUIM, ai isso pareçe.
A minha ordem já lá está.
PURA ESPECULAÇÃO.
Se der para o bem, OK, se não der, cara alegre.
