NEW YORK, March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced today that its subsidiary Sirius XM Radio Inc. priced an offering of $1.0 billion of Senior Notes due 2025.

The notes are to be sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.  The notes will bear interest at an annual rate of 5.375%.  The price to investors will be 100% of the principal amount of the notes.  The company will receive gross proceeds of $1.0 billion from the sale of the notes before deducting the initial purchasers' commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses.

The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, from time to time and as market conditions warrant, the repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or tender of its outstanding indebtedness, including any borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility, and dividends or loans to SiriusXM, its parent corporation, to fund share repurchases of SiriusXM common stock.  Pending application of these amounts, the company currently expects to maintain any excess amount as cash on hand.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy any of these securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
