Exhibit 99.2
EXECUTION VERSION
THIS SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 9th day of October, 2013, by and between Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), and Sirius XM Radio Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell shares beneficially owned by it of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Purchaser (“Common Shares”) to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase Common Shares from the Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Repurchase Transaction”).
WHEREAS, after due consideration, the board of directors of the Purchaser has (a) approved the Repurchase Transaction and related transactions that may be required in connection with the Repurchase Transaction and (b) determined that the Repurchase Transaction will be treated as an acquisition that is exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by reason of Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I SALE AND PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES
Section 1.1 Purchase of Common Shares.
(a) Subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the conditions listed in Section 4.1 hereof, on each of the Initial Closing Date (as defined below), January 27, 2014 and April 25, 2014 (each, a “Closing Date”), the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, a number of Common Shares (in respect of each Closing Date, the “Shares”), which is equal to the quotient of (a) the aggregate purchase price for the Shares on the applicable Closing Date as set forth on Schedule A hereto under the heading “Aggregate Purchase Price” (in respect of each Closing Date, the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) divided by (b) the Purchase Price per Share (as defined below) (rounded up to the nearest whole number of Common Shares).
(b) Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, upon the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion, the Purchaser may accelerate the purchase and sale of all or any portion of the Shares to be purchased on any Closing Date, and the term “Closing Date” as used herein shall also refer to each such accelerated date. The Purchaser shall provide the Seller at least six business days’ written notice of any request to accelerate the purchase and sale of all or any portion of the Shares. The Seller shall provide its consent, or indicate that it does not consent, to such acceleration no later than 1:00 pm, New York City time, four business days prior to such proposed accelerated Closing Date.
(c) To the extent the Purchaser is unable to purchase all of the applicable Shares subject to purchase on any Closing Date as set forth on Schedule A hereto, due to the failure to meet any of the conditions listed in Section 4.1 hereof (a “Condition Failure”), the Purchaser will notify the Seller at least one business day prior to such scheduled Closing Date, such notice to specify the number of Shares that the Purchaser is able to purchase without causing a Condition Failure, the condition listed in Section 4.1 which would fail to be satisfied after giving effect to the purchase of the amount of Shares scheduled to be purchased on such Closing Date and a brief description of the facts resulting in such Condition Failure, and thereafter, the Purchaser agrees (i) to purchase the maximum number of Shares on such Closing Date as would not result in a Condition Failure, and (ii) subject to the absence of a Condition Failure on the next subsequent Closing Date, to purchase the excess of those Shares not so purchased pursuant to clause (i) (the “Excess Shares”) on such next subsequent Closing Date, along with the Shares scheduled to be purchased on such subsequent Closing Date; provided, however, if the Purchaser is unable to purchase all Shares subject to purchase on April 25, 2014 (including all Excess Shares) as a result of a Condition Failure, then the Seller will have the option to (i)(x) sell to the Purchaser the maximum number of Shares that the Purchaser is able to purchase and satisfy the conditions in Section 4.1 and (y) either (I) terminate the Agreement immediately following such Closing Date or (II) extend the outside date for a period of ninety (90) days and require the Purchaser to purchase the Excess Shares on a Closing Date mutually agreed by the parties prior to the outside date as extended, subject to such purchase not resulting in a Condition Failure or (ii) terminate the Agreement without selling Shares at such final Closing Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.1 to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Seller shall decrease the Aggregate Purchase Price with respect to any Closing Date as necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to the Repurchase Transaction, the Seller continues to beneficially own Common Shares representing not less than 50.1% of the Purchaser’s outstanding Common Shares.
Section 1.2 Purchase Price.
(a) The purchase price per Share (the “Purchase Price per Share”) shall be a 1.5% discount to the average of the Daily VWAPs (as defined below) of the Common Shares for the first ten VWAP Trading Days (as defined below) beginning on the third VWAP Trading Day immediately following the date of the public release of the Purchaser’s third quarter 2013 earnings (the “VWAP Period”); provided that in no event shall such average be greater than $4.18 or less than $3.64. “Daily VWAP”, with respect to each VWAP Trading Day, shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for the entirety of such VWAP Trading Day as determined by reference to the screen displayed under the heading “SIRI <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) as reported by Bloomberg L.P. in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such VWAP Trading Day. Daily VWAP will be determined without regard to afterhours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours. “VWAP Trading Day” shall mean a Scheduled Trading Day on which there is no “market disruption event” (as defined below) and trading of the Common Shares occurs on the relevant stock exchange. “Market disruption event” shall mean (a) a failure by the relevant stock exchange to open for trading on a Scheduled Trading Day (as defined below) within 15 minutes of its scheduled opening time, or (b) the occurrence or existence on any Scheduled Trading Day during which trading of the Common Shares has been suspended or limited for more than a one half-hour period in the aggregate. “Scheduled Trading Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, a day on which the relevant stock exchange is not open for business, or a day on which the relevant stock exchange is scheduled, as of the date hereof, to close prior to its normal weekday scheduled closing time.
(b) On the business day immediately following the last day of the VWAP Period, the Purchaser will deliver to the Seller a certificate of an authorized officer of the Purchaser setting forth the
average of the Daily VWAP during the VWAP Period, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. Two business days following the last day of the VWAP Period, the Purchaser and the Seller shall finalize such average of the Daily VWAP during the VWAP Period.
Section 1.3 Closings. The initial closing date (the “Initial Closing Date”) shall occur on the third business day following the last day of the VWAP Period. On each Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the applicable Shares by an appropriate method reasonably agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller, together, in each case, with all documentation reasonably necessary to transfer to the Purchaser right, title and interest in and to such Shares. On each Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the applicable Aggregate Purchase Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions provided by the Seller to the Purchaser. Each closing of a purchase and sale of Shares on a Closing Date shall be deemed to have occurred at the offices of the Purchaser or at such other location as the parties shall mutually agree.
