EXHIBIT F Response to Question A21 (Description of the Transaction and Public Interest Statement) Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM”) seeks Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) consent to a pro forma assignment of all of the licenses and authorizations held by Satellite CD Radio, Inc. Satellite CD Radio, Inc. is currently directly owned and controlled by Sirius XM. Pursuant to the proposed corporate reorganization, Satellite CD Radio, Inc. will be converted to a limited liability company and renamed Satellite CD Radio LLC. The proposed change constitutes a non-substantial (pro forma) assignment because ultimate ownership and control of all licenses and authorizations will be exactly the same before and after the proposed transaction. Grant of this pro forma assignment application will serve the public interest. The ability to make non-substantial changes in corporate structure enhances the flexibility of Sirius XM’s capital structure without any adverse effects on competition. Moreover, the Commission has previously approved the ultimate ownership and control of these licenses and authorizations by Sirius XM,1 and there have been no material changes in ownership since the date of the Sirius XM Merger Order. Sirius XM requests that the FCC expeditiously grant this application for a non-substantial assignment without prior public notice. Sirius XM will supplement, as necessary, any applications that are pending upon the consummation of the proposed transaction to reflect the pro forma assignment.2 To the extent that any pending applications, or any other applications for new facilities or for renewal or modification of existing facilities, are granted to Satellite CD 1 See Applications for Consent to the Transfer of Control of Licenses, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., 23 FCC Rcd 12348 (2008) (“Sirius XM Merger Order”). Sirius XM directly holds satellite, earth station, wireless, and experimental authorizations. These authorizations are not affected by the proposed transaction. 2 See 47 C.F.R. § 1.65.

Radio, Inc. prior to the closing of the proposed transaction, Sirius XM requests that the grant of this application include consent with respect to all such subsequently granted authorizations. Further, Sirius XM requests that grant of this application include authority for the pro forma assignment of any special temporary authorizations held by Satellite CD Radio, Inc., or applications for special temporary authority that are pending, at the time of the consummation of the proposed pro forma assignment. Satellite CD Radio, Inc. currently operates two space station authorizations that will be assigned as part of this pro forma transaction: S2105 S2812
