This excerpt taken from the SIRI DEF 14A filed Apr 30, 2009.
Cash received in lieu of fractional shares
 
A U.S. holder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of common stock in the reverse stock split will generally be treated as having received such fractional share and then as having received such cash in redemption of such fractional share interest. A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the basis of the pre-reverse stock split common stock allocable to such fractional interest. Such gain or loss generally will constitute capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in our common stock exchanged therefore was greater than one year as of the date of the exchange.
