XM Radio Inc. is currently indirectly owned and controlled by Sirius XM Radio Inc.
through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: XM Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio
Holdings Inc. Pursuant to a proposed transaction, these two subsidiaries will be merged
with and into Sirius XM Radio Inc. As a result, XM Radio Inc. will become a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sirius XM Radio Inc.2 The proposed change constitutes a

          The FCC has previously approved the transfer of control of existing grants of, and requests for,
special temporary authority as part of the transfer of control of the satellite licenses. See Sirius Satellite
Radio Inc., Application for Transfer of Control of Station Authorization, Order, 18 FCC Rcd 215, 217 n.16

non-substantial (pro forma) transfer of control because ultimate ownership and control of
XM Radio Inc. will be exactly the same before and after the proposed transactions. The
current and proposed ownership structures for XM Radio Inc. are depicted in Exhibit E.

Grant of this pro forma transfer of control application will serve the public interest. The
ability to make non-substantial changes in corporate structure enhances the flexibility of
Sirius XM Radio Inc.’s capital structure without any adverse effects on competition.
Moreover, this application raises no new issue related to XM Radio Inc.’s legal
qualifications because the Commission has previously approved the ultimate ownership
and control of XM Radio Inc. by Sirius XM Radio Inc.3

XM Radio Inc. requests that the FCC expeditiously grant this application for a non-
substantial transfer of control without prior public notice. XM Radio Inc. will
supplement, as necessary, any applications that are pending upon the consummation of
the proposed transaction to reflect the pro forma change in ownership.4 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 XM Radio Inc. prior to the closing of the
proposed transaction, XM Radio Inc. requests that the grant of this application include
consent with respect to all such subsequently granted authorizations. Further, XM Radio
Inc. requests that grant of this application include authority for the pro forma transfer of
control of any special temporary authorizations held by XM Radio Inc., or applications
for special temporary authority that are pending, at the time of the consummation of the
proposed pro forma transfer of control.

companies with and into Sirius XM Radio Inc. occurs more than 60 days after the date of FCC
authorization, XM Radio Inc. will seek an extension of the closing deadline specified in Section 25.119(f)
of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.119(f).
