Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

In connection with the Transactions (as defined below in Item 1.01), Pandora Media, LLC (as successor to Pandora Media, Inc., as issuer (“Pandora”), and Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM”), as guarantor, executed (i) a supplemental indenture, dated as of February 1, 2019 (the “2020 Notes Supplemental Indenture”), with Citibank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to the Indenture, dated as of December 9, 2015 (as amended and supplemented prior thereto, the “2020 Notes Indenture”), between Pandora and the Trustee relating to Pandora’s 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) and (ii) a supplemental indenture, dated as of February 1, 2019 (the “2023 Notes Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the 2020 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”), with the Trustee, to the Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2018 (as amended and supplemented prior thereto, the “2023 Notes Indenture” and, together with the 2020 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), between Pandora and the Trustee relating to Pandora’s 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes” and, together with the 2020 Notes, the “Pandora Convertible Notes”). As of the date hereof, approximately $152.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes and approximately $192.9 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes remain outstanding.

to each Supplemental Indenture, and as a result of the Transactions, the conversion consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of each series of the Pandora Convertible Notes has been changed into the right to convert such principal amount of each series of the Pandora Convertible Notes into a corresponding number of shares of Sirius XM’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Sirius XM Common Stock”), that a holder of such number of shares of Pandora’s common stock equal to the applicable conversion rate immediately prior to the Transactions would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of the Transactions. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the conversion rate applicable to the 2020 Notes was 87.7032 shares of Sirius XM Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, and the conversion rate applicable to the 2023 Notes was 150.4466 shares of Sirius XM Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes. In addition, to the Supplemental Indentures, Sirius XM has provided an unconditional guarantee of the payment and performance obligations of Pandora under each series of the Pandora Convertible Notes and the Indentures.

Each series of the Pandora Convertible Notes is convertible under certain circumstances into cash, Sirius XM Common Stock or a combination thereof, at Pandora’s election (such election, the “Settlement Method”). to the 2020 Notes Supplemental Indenture, Pandora has irrevocably elected and determined that the Settlement Method to settle all conversion obligations from and after February 1, 2019 with respect to the 2020 Notes shall solely be cash.

The Indentures provide for customary events of default, which include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness and certain events of bankruptcy.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the Supplemental Indentures, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety

by reference to the 2020 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2023 Notes Supplemental Indenture, which are filed hereto as Exhibits4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 1, 2019, to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated September 23, 2018, by and among Sirius XM, Pandora, Billboard Holding Company, Inc., Billboard Acquisition Sub, Inc., White Oaks Acquisition Corp. and Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM Radio”), through a series of transactions Pandora became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sirius XM (the “Transactions”).

As a result of the Transactions, each share of Pandora common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Pandora Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, was converted into the right to receive 1.44 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Sirius XM Common Stock.

Further, to the Transactions:

· each option granted by Pandora under its stock incentive plans to purchase shares of Pandora Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, was assumed and converted into an option to purchase shares of Sirius XM Common Stock, with appropriate adjustments (based on the Exchange Ratio) to the exercise price and number of shares of Sirius XM Common Stock subject to such option, and has the same vesting schedule and exercise conditions as in effect as of immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions; provided that any Pandora stock option that had an exercise price per share that was equal to or greater than the value, at the closing of the Transactions, of Sirius XM Common Stock issued as merger consideration in exchange for each share of Pandora Common Stock, was cancelled without payment therefor;
· each unvested restricted stock unit granted by Pandora under its stock incentive plans was assumed and converted into an unvested restricted stock unit of Sirius XM, with appropriate adjustments (based on the Exchange Ratio) to the number of shares of Sirius XM Common Stock to be received, and has the same vesting schedule and settlement date as in effect as of immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions; and
· each unvested performance award granted by Pandora under its stock incentive plans was cancelled since the per share value of merger consideration at the closing of the Transactions as determined to the Merger Agreement was less than $20.00.

At the closing of the Transactions, Sirius XM assumed Pandora’s (i) 2014 Stock Incentive Plan of AdsWizz Inc., (ii) Pandora Media, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, (iii) Pandora Media, Inc. 2004 Stock Plan and (iv) TheSavageBeast.com, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Pandora Stock Plans”). All shares available under the Pandora Stock Plans, which were previously approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of the Transactions, became additional shares available for grant to the terms of the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. 2015 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Sirius XM 2015 Plan”) (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect the application of the Exchange Ratio). Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Sirius XM 2015 Plan, such shares may be used for awards under the Sirius XM 2015 Plan.
