NEW YORK, March 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today announced that it intends to resume its common stock repurchase program. Yesterday, Liberty Media announced that its January 3, 2014 proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of SiriusXM common stock not owned by Liberty Media is no longer applicable. SiriusXM had previously suspended its stock repurchase program in connection with Liberty Media's proposal.
SiriusXM also reaffirmed its previously issued guidance for 2014 of:
- Net subscriber additions of 1.25 million,
- Revenue of over $4.0 billion,
- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.38 billion, and
- Free cash flow approaching $1.1 billion.
Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, including in transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates. The Company will fund the repurchases through cash on hand, future cash flow from operations and future borrowings. Repurchases will be made in compliance with all SEC rules and other legal requirements and may be made in part under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which permits stock repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so.
