Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On September 9, 2024 at 4:05 p.m., New York City time (the “Split-Off Effective Time”), Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”) completed its previously announced split-off (the “Split-Off”) of its former wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“New Sirius”). The Split-Off was accomplished by Liberty Media redeeming each outstanding share of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in exchange for 0.8375 of a share of New Sirius common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with cash being paid to entitled record holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of New Sirius.

 

Additionally, following the Split-Off, on September 9, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., New York City time (the “Merger Effective Time”), a wholly owned subsidiary of New Sirius merged with and into Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM”), with Sirius XM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Sirius (the “Merger” and together with the Split-Off, the “Transactions”). Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of common stock of Sirius XM, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than shares owned by New Sirius and its subsidiaries) was converted into one-tenth (0.1) of a share of New Sirius common stock, with cash being paid to entitled record holders of Sirius XM common stock in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of New Sirius. Concurrently with the Merger Effective Time, Sirius XM was renamed to “Sirius XM Inc.” and New Sirius was renamed to “Sirius XM Holdings Inc.”

 

As a result of the Transactions, New Sirius is an independent, publicly traded company.

 

The section of the proxy statement/notice/prospectus/information statement forming a part of Amendment No. 4 to New Sirius’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2024 (File No. 333-276758), entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” which describes the relationships and related party transactions between Liberty Media, on the one hand, and New Sirius or Sirius XM, on the other hand, is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On September 9, 2024, Liberty Media notified Nasdaq of the completion of the Split-Off and requested that the Liberty SiriusXM common stock, which traded under the symbols “LSXMA”, “LSXMB” and “LSXMK”, be delisted from Nasdaq effective on September 9, 2024 following the Split-Off Effective Time. Liberty Media also requested that Nasdaq file a notification of removal from listing and/or registration of the Liberty SiriusXM common stock on Form 25 under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
