Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Plan Administrator and Participants of
Sirius XM Radio 401(k) Savings Plan:

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Sirius XM Radio 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Opinion on the Supplementary Information
The supplementary information included in Schedule H, line 4(i) – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2021 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplementary information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplementary information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplementary information. In forming our opinion on the supplementary information in the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplementary information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplementary information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

1. Background and Plan Description
    
Sirius XM Radio Inc. (the “Plan Sponsor”) sponsors the Sirius XM Radio 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) to provide eligible employees (as defined in the Plan) with a method of saving for their retirement and other needs. The Plan Sponsor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”). Holdings has no operations independent of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan's inception date was September 1, 1998. The Plan was amended as of October 1, 2020 to change service providers from Prudential Retirement Services to Fidelity Management Trust Company.

The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions and information regarding eligibility, contributions, distributions, vesting, withdrawals, loans and definitions of all terms.

Eligibility
Participation in the Plan begins on the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or immediately following the date on which a covered employee (as defined in the Plan) first satisfies the following requirements: the individual has (a) been classified as a Class A Employee (as defined in the Plan); (b) attained the age of 21; and (c) completed one month of eligible service (as defined in the Plan). New and rehired employees who meet the Plan's eligibility requirements are auto-enrolled in the Plan and, those who do not elect out of this auto-enrollment feature or do not change the preselected contribution election, have a contribution election of 3% of compensation (as defined in the Plan). Unless the employee designates otherwise, contributions under the auto-enrollment feature are deposited into the Qualified Default Investment Alternative (“QDIA”) fund. As of December 31, 2021, the QDIA fund was the appropriate T. Rowe Price Retirement Trust Class F Fund based on the employee's age.

Contributions / Contribution Receivable
Participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 50% of compensation (as defined in the Plan) provided contributions do not exceed maximum allowable amounts under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Under the Code, individual contributions for which taxes may be deferred were limited to $19.5 in 2021. The Code also allows participants age 50 and over to make supplemental “catch-up” contribution on a pre-tax basis, which were limited to $6.5 in 2021. Participants' contributions are immediately vested and can only be withdrawn pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Code. Participants may roll over amounts from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans and certain other plans. Rollovers for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approximately $8,329.

Participants also have the ability to make Roth contributions. All Roth contributions are made on an after-tax basis and, if certain requirements are met, the withdrawals from the Roth account made at retirement can be exempt from federal income tax. The individual contributions to the Roth account, including of any additional pre-tax Plan contributions, were limited to $19.5 under the Code for 2021.  Roth contributions are matched using the same formula as the employee contributions (see below); however, the employer match is not treated as Roth contributions. Employer match for Roth contributions is made to the QDIA fund, in the absence of any investment allocation election for pre-tax contributions. Plan participants may elect a Roth In-Plan Rollover on amounts eligible for distribution, such as upon termination or on vested account balances after a participant reaches retirement age. This election converts pre-tax amounts to after-tax amounts which will be subject to immediate taxation and will be separately accounted for under the Plan.

The Plan provides for discretionary employer matching contributions based on participant elective deferral contributions (other than "catch-up" contributions). For the year ended December 31, 2021, discretionary employer matching contributions were equal to 50% of participants' elective deferral contributions per pay period on the first 6% of an employee's pre-tax salary up to a maximum of 3% of compensation. The employer matching contributions are made in cash and are credited proportionally to the funds into which participants otherwise invest their pre-tax employee contributions unless the participant elects a separate allocation for the Plan Sponsor's matching contributions. The total employer matching contributions for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approximately $19,741, inclusive of the true-up matching contributions.

The Plan Sponsor may also make additional discretionary matching, true-up matching and nonelective contributions to the Plan based on certain conditions. The Plan Sponsor elected to make a true-up matching contribution on behalf of eligible employees to provide the maximum matching contribution designated by the employer for the years ended December 31, 2021

and 2020. The true-up matching contribution for the year ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $2,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021. The amount was contributed to the Plan in 2022 and was recorded within Employer contributions receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. The true-up matching contribution for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $1,999 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021 and was contributed to the Plan in 2021.
    
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with participant contributions, discretionary employer matching contributions, nonelective employer contributions and allocations of Plan earnings, if any. Allocations of Plan earnings are based on participant account balances. A participant is entitled to the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account balance. Participants are allowed to allocate the employer contributions to other investment alternatives immediately following the contribution.
Fund investments are generally redeemable daily and have no restrictions.

Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, plus any earnings thereon. Discretionary employer matching contributions and nonelective contributions begin immediately upon enrollment in the Plan. These employer contributions vest at the following rates: 33% upon the completion of the first year of service, 67% upon the completion of the second year of service and 100% upon the completion of the third year of service. In addition, a participant becomes fully vested in his or her discretionary employer matching and nonelective contributions upon reaching the normal retirement age (defined in the plan as age 65), disability or death, or if there is a partial or full termination of the Plan.

Distributions of Benefits
Upon termination of employment, including termination due to death or disability, reaching the normal retirement age or upon satisfying the requirements for an in-service withdrawal, a participant may receive a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account (as defined in the Plan). In addition, participants may elect to withdraw funds from their respective accounts in the event of hardship (as defined in the Plan).

Loans Receivables from Participants
The Plan provides for loans to active participants. Participants may borrow up to the lesser of $50 or 50% of the vested portions of the participant's account balance. The amount available for future borrowings by participants is reduced by the amount of their highest outstanding loan balance during the previous one-year period. A participant with an outstanding loan may not apply for another loan until the existing loan is paid in full and may not refinance an existing loan or obtain a second loan for the purpose of paying off the existing loan. Participants may apply for only one loan each calendar year. There is a 14 day waiting period between when one loan is paid off and another one can be requested. Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime interest rate plus 1%. Except for loans grandfathered in from a previous plan merger, the term of any loan is no greater than five years, except in the case of a loan used to acquire a principal residence, in which case, the term may not exceed 10 years. Repayments must be in substantially equal installments, are generally made by payroll deductions and made not less frequently than quarterly. Certain exceptions are made for unpaid leaves as allowed under the Plan. Participant loans were $5,117 and $4,562 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the rates of interest on outstanding loans ranged from 3.25% to 6.50% with various maturities.

Forfeitures
Non-vested employer matching and non-vested nonelective contributions are forfeited upon termination of employment or a participant's withdrawal from the Plan. Forfeitures are used to pay Plan expenses and to reduce employer contributions. Forfeitures, inclusive of investment earnings, for the year ended December 31, 2021, were approximately $661. During the year ended December 31, 2021, forfeitures were used to pay administrative expenses and reduce employer contributions by approximately $694. Unallocated non-vested assets were approximately $179 and $212 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative expenses are paid by the Plan to the extent allowed by the Plan and applicable law and are not paid by the Plan Sponsor. Participants are also charged for certain transactions, such as the processing of a loan or a

(Dollars in thousands)
distribution. Certain other administrative expenses are paid by the Plan Sponsor. Investment fees and transaction-based fees charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, these fees are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments. There is a stock trading fee of $0.005 per share of common stock that is charged to participant accounts when participants request account transfers into or out of Holdings' common stock.

Assets Held in Trust
From April 1, 2005 through September 30, 2020, all assets of the Plan were held by Prudential Retirement Services, an operating division of Prudential Financial. The operations of Prudential Retirement Services are conducted principally through Prudential Retirement Insurance & Annuity Company (“PRIAC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial. PRIAC was responsible for, among other things, the custody and investing of the Plan's assets and the payment of benefits to eligible participants. Prudential Bank & Trust Company, FSB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, served as the trustee for which PRIAC was the record keeper of assets.
From October 1, 2020 to the present, all assets of the Plan were held by Fidelity Management Trust Company (“FMTC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity Investments. FMTC serves as the directed Trustee and custodian of the assets of the Plan. FMTC contracts with other Fidelity subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents to perform some of the trustee and investments management responsibilities. Fidelity Workplace Services LLC (“FWS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, serves as the record-keeper. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC is wholly owned by FWS and provides transaction processing and administrative recordkeeping services. National Financial Services (“NFS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, is the custodian of the self-directed brokerage accounts. NFS is responsible for providing trade execution, clearance, and settlement of securities transactions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Payment of Benefits
Participant withdrawals and distributions (benefits payments) are recorded when paid. To the extent that a participant's account is invested in employer securities, a participant may elect to receive distribution of his or her account under the lump sum payment method in shares of employer securities instead of in cash.

Use of Estimates
In presenting the Plan's financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and accompanying notes. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Table of Contents
SIRIUS XM RADIO 401 (k) SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
(Dollars in thousands)
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Refer to Note 3 for valuation methodology by investment type.

Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments consists of realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized gains and losses in the Plan's investments. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are computed using the participant's cost basis in the investment aggregated at the Plan level. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in investments represents the difference between the fair value of investments held at year-end and the cost of investments purchased in the current fiscal year or the fair value of investments held at the end of the preceding year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gains exclusively from mutual funds are included in dividend income.

Investment in Insurance Contracts
As described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 962, Plan Accounting-Defined Contribution Pension Plans, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at contract value. The Guaranteed Income Fund is a group annuity contract issued by PRIAC and is backed by the full faith and creditworthiness of the issuer. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of PRIAC and not on the value of the securities within the insurer's general account.  The credit rating of the issuer at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was considered investment grade and there are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. Only an event causing liquidity constraints at PRIAC could limit the ability of the Plan to transact at the contract value to be paid within 90 days or, in rare circumstances, the contract value to be paid over time. There are not any events that allow the issuer to terminate the contract and which require the Plan sponsor to settle at an amount different than contract value to be paid either within 90 days or over time. The Plan considers this contract to be benefit responsive. The Guaranteed Income Fund is included at its contract value in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The Guaranteed Income Fund does not operate like a mutual fund, variable annuity product, or conventional fixed rate individual annuity product. Under the group annuity contract that supports this product, participants may ordinarily direct a permitted withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their account balance at contract value, within reasonable timeframes. Contract value represents deposits made to the contract, plus earnings at guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and fees.

Loans Receivable from Participants
Loans receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the provisions of the Plan document.


3. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, provides a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Plan considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

The Plan maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the following fair value measurement.

•Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
8
Table of Contents
SIRIUS XM RADIO 401 (k) SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
(Dollars in thousands)
active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or
•Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There was no change in the Plan's investment valuation methodologies as of December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.

Investments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investments measured at fair value consisted of the following types of instruments as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are defined above):

 As of December 31, 2021As of December 31, 2020

The Plan's valuation methodology for mutual funds, the money market fund, and Holdings' common stock was derived from quoted market prices as these instruments have an active market which results in a Level 1 asset categorization.

Self-directed brokerage accounts primarily consist of mutual funds and common stocks that are valued on the basis of readily determinable market prices.

Common collective trusts are valued at the respective net asset values ("NAV") as reported by the underlying trusts' financial instruments, which are reported at fair value. These underlying assets are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. However, the T. Rowe Price Retirement Trust Class F Funds themselves are not actively traded or do not have observable market data for the same or similar instrument, which results in a Level 2 asset categorization.


4. Risks and Uncertainties
    
The Plan may invest in various types of investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and/or credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The Plan may invest indirectly in securities with contractual cash flows, such as asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate
9
Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
(Dollars in thousands)
value, delinquencies or defaults, or both, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

The Plan provides for investment in Holdings' common stock. At both December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 8% and 10%, respectively, of the Plan's total net assets were invested in the common stock of Holdings. The underlying value of Holdings' common stock is dependent upon the performance of Holdings and the market's evaluation of such performance.


5. Tax Status
    
The Plan received a favorable determination letter dated October 25, 2016 from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Plan is required to operate in conformity with Section 401(a) of the Code to maintain its tax qualification. As there were not any required or discretionary amendments to the Plan for year ended December 31, 2021 and the Plan’s management has concluded that the Plan operated in conformity with Section 401(a) of the Code, the Plan remains qualified and the related trust continues to be tax exempt. Therefore, there is no provision for income taxes recorded in the Plan's financial statements.
    
GAAP requires the Plan's management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan's management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the Plan's financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions, however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The IRS generally has the ability to examine the Plan for the years 2018 through 2021.


6. Plan Termination
     
The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event that such termination occurs, all non-vested amounts credited to participants' accounts will become 100% vested and the trustee, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will distribute the net assets of the Plan in a uniform and non-discretionary manner.


7. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with FMTC (the current Trustee), FWS (the current record keeper of assets), the Plan Sponsor and Holdings qualify as party-in-interest transactions. At December 31, 2021, the Plan held an investment of 11,310,131 shares of Holdings common stock. The fair value of Holdings common stock held by the Plan at December 31, 2021 approximated $71,820.
