RE:
Sirius XM Holdings Inc.
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013
Filed February 4, 2014
File No. 001-34295
Dear Mr. Spirgel:
We are writing to respond to your comment set forth in your comment letter, dated May 4, 2016, relating to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A of Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“we,” “our,” or the “Company”) filed with the SEC on February 2, 2016 and April 8, 2016, respectively. As we noted in a phone call with the Staff, the above heading incorrectly notes the period under review as December 31, 2013, instead of December 31, 2015. To assist your review, we have retyped the text of the Staff’s comments in italics below.

2015 Compensation Snapshot: Compensation of Our Chief Executive Officer, page 35

1.
You state on page 43 of Schedule 14A that James E. Meyer, under his new employment agreement, is “entitled to participate in any bonus plans generally offered to our executive officers, with an annual target bonus opportunity of 250% of his annual base salary. In future filings, please describe the specific circumstances underlying the Board’s decision to pay cash bonuses significantly higher than targeted amounts.

Response:
 
In future filings, we will describe the specific circumstances underlying the Board’s decision to pay cash bonuses significantly higher than targeted amounts within our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A.
