(a)We elected to account for the Convertible Notes using the fair value option. The Convertible Notes are the obligations of Sirius XM Holdings. SiriusXM is not an obligor or guarantor of the Convertible Notes. Changes in the fair value of the Convertible Notes recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is convertible. We isolate the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognize such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the Convertible Notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a gain of $2 and a gain of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cumulative change in fair value since issuance was a loss of $17 as of March 31, 2026, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.
