This excerpt taken from the SIRI 10-Q filed Nov 12, 2008.

Our indebtedness is substantial. We need to refinance portions of our debt in the near term, which refinancing may not be available.

We have approximately $1 billion of debt maturing in 2009, including;

 

 

 

At SIRIUS, $209,228,000 of 2 1/2% Convertible Notes that mature on February 15, 2009;

 

 

 

At SIRIUS, $1,744,000 of 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes that mature on September 29, 2009;

 

   

At XM, a $250,000,000 revolving credit facility, which is fully drawn and matures on May 5, 2009;

 

   

At XM, a $100,000,000 term loan which matures on May 5, 2009;

 

   

At XM Holdings, $400,000,000 of 10% Convertible Senior Notes that mature on December 1, 2009; and

 

   

At XM Holdings and XM (as co-obligors), $33,200,000 of 10% Senior Secured Discount Convertible Notes that mature on December 31, 2009.

As a result of these maturities, our cash flows from operating activities will not be sufficient to fund our projected cash needs in 2009. We may not be able to access additional sources of refinancing on similar terms or pricing as those that are currently in place, or at all, or otherwise obtain other sources of funding. An inability to access additional sources of liquidity to fund our cash needs in 2009 or thereafter or to refinance or otherwise fund the repayment of our maturing debt could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results of operations, and our ability to make payments on our debt, and could force us to seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws. It will be more difficult to obtain additional financing if prevailing instability in the credit and financial markets

continues. Tightening credit policies could also adversely impact our operational liquidity by making it more difficult or costly for our customers to access credit, and could have an adverse impact on our operational liquidity as a result of possible changes to our payment arrangements that credit card companies and other credit providers could unilaterally make.

SIRIUS is the sole stockholder of XM Holdings and its subsidiaries and its business is operated as an unrestricted subsidiary under SIRIUS’ indebtedness. Under certain circumstances, SIRIUS may be unwilling or unable to contribute or loan XM capital to support its operations. Similarly, under certain circumstances, XM may be unwilling or unable to contribute or loan SIRIUS capital to support its operations. To the extent XM’s funds are insufficient to support its business, XM may be required to seek additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If XM is unable to secure additional financing it could be forced to seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws.

Our operations will also be affected by the FCC order approving the Merger. In addition, our future liquidity may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in our operations or business plans, or by the nature and extent of the benefits, if any, achieved by operating XM as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
