Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share
We were authorized to issue up to 9,000,000,000 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. There were 3,824,178,762 and 3,753,201,929 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
As of June 30, 2012, approximately 3,266,609,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in connection with outstanding convertible debt, preferred stock, warrants, incentive stock awards and common stock to be granted to third parties upon satisfaction of performance targets.
To facilitate the offering of the Exchangeable Notes, we entered into share lending agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. (“MS”) and UBS AG London Branch (“UBS”) in July 2008, under which we loaned MS and UBS an aggregate of 262,400,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a fee of $0.001 per share. During the third quarter of 2009, MS returned to us 60,000,000 shares of our common stock borrowed. In October 2011, MS and UBS returned the remaining 202,400,000 shares loaned. The returned shares were retired upon receipt and removed from outstanding common stock. The share lending agreements have been terminated. Under GAAP, the borrowed shares were not considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting our net income (loss) per common share.
We recorded interest expense related to the amortization of the costs associated with the share lending arrangement and other issuance costs of $3,060 and $2,760, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and $6,042 and $5,450, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the unamortized balance of the debt issuance costs was $34,013, with $33,332 recorded in deferred financing fees, net, and $680 recorded in Long-term related party assets. As of December 31, 2011, the unamortized balance of the debt issuance costs was $40,054, with $39,253 recorded in deferred financing fees, net, and $801 recorded in Long-term related party assets. These costs will continue to be amortized until the debt is terminated.
In January 2004, Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. signed a seven-year agreement with a sports programming provider which expired in February 2011. Upon execution of this agreement, Sirius delivered 15,173,070 shares of common stock valued at $40,967 to that programming provider. These shares of common stock were subject to transfer restrictions which lapsed over time. We recognized share-based payment expense associated with these shares of $1,568 in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
We were authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. There were no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
There were 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of 206.9581409 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, representing approximately 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to such conversion). As the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock, Liberty Radio LLC is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of our common stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible. Liberty Radio LLC will also receive dividends and distributions ratably with our common stock, on an as-converted basis. With respect to dividend rights, the Series B Preferred Stock ranks evenly with our common stock and each other class or series of our equity securities not expressly provided as ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. With respect to liquidation rights, the Series B Preferred Stock ranks evenly with each other class or series of our equity securities not expressly provided as ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock, and ranks senior to our common stock.
Warrants
We have issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock in connection with distribution, programming and satellite purchase agreements. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 22,506,000 warrants to acquire an equal number of shares of common stock were outstanding and fully vested. These warrants expire at various times through 2015. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the weighted average exercise price of outstanding warrants was $2.63 per share. We did not incur warrant related expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
