Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
in respect of
SIRIUS XM HOLDINGS INC.
This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Sirius XM Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Issuer and its predecessor by Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Reporting Person” or “Liberty”), on January 22, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on May 10, 2013, Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on October 15, 2013, Amendment No. 3 filed with the Commission on January 3, 2014, Amendment No. 4 filed with the Commission on March 17, 2014 and Amendment No. 5 filed with the Commission on November 3, 2014 (together, the “Liberty Schedule 13D”), is hereby further amended and supplemented to include the information set forth herein.
This amended statement on Schedule 13D constitutes Amendment No. 6 to the Liberty Schedule 13D (the “Amendment,” and together with the Liberty Schedule 13D, this “Statement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Liberty Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Liberty Schedule 13D is unmodified.
Item 2. Identity and Background
The information contained in Item 2(d)-(f) of the Liberty Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(d) - (f)
Schedule 1, attached to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference, provides the required information with respect to each executive officer and director, as applicable, of the Reporting Person (the “Schedule 1 Persons”). Each of such executive officers and directors is a citizen of the United States, unless otherwise noted on Schedule 1.
During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor any of the Schedule 1 Persons (to the knowledge of the Reporting Person) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The information contained in Item 3 of the Liberty Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
The information contained in Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Item.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The information contained in Item 4 of the Liberty Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On November 1, 2021, Liberty entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the counterparties thereto (collectively, the “Holders”) to acquire an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Common Stock in exchange (the “Exchange”) for the issuance by Liberty to the Holders of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Liberty’s Series A Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, in a transaction intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The exchange ratio was market-based with no premium. The Exchange closed on November 3, 2021 and, as a result, Liberty and the Issuer became members of the same consolidated tax group. As previously disclosed, on February 1, 2021, Liberty entered into a tax sharing agreement with the Issuer governing the allocation of consolidated and combined tax liabilities and setting forth agreements with respect to other tax matters. The tax sharing agreement was negotiated by Liberty with a committee of the board of directors of the Issuer consisting of independent and disinterested directors of the Issuer (the “Special Committee”).
Also on November 1, 2021, Liberty and the Issuer entered into an agreement (the “253 Letter Agreement”) whereby Liberty agreed not to effect any merger of the Issuer pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor to such statute) without obtaining the prior approval of the Special Committee (or any successor special committee of independent and disinterested directors of the Issuer) as well as an agreement regarding certain tax matters relating to the Exchange, including the adoption of the Exchange Agreement as a “plan of reorganization.” Each of these agreements between Liberty and the Issuer was negotiated by Liberty with the Special Committee.
The foregoing summaries of the Exchange Agreement and the 253 Letter Agreement are qualified by full reference to the full texts of such agreements, which documents are incorporated herein by reference and attached as Exhibit 7(d) and Exhibit 7(e) respectively to this Amendment.
