The special independent committee of the board of directors of the Company and all non-interested members of the board of directors of the Company unanimously recommend that Company shareholders vote FOR the proposed transaction for the reasons set out in the Circular including, but not limited to:
It is a premium priced offer.
Company shareholders have the opportunity to remain invested in the satellite radio market.
The consideration is fair from a financial point of view based on third-party opinions and is within the formal valuation range.
The Arrangement facilitates better strategic and economic alignment of the Company and SIRI, significantly reducing risks that would reasonably be expected to impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including its ability to pay dividends.
Secured voting support.
SiriusXM Canada encourages Company shareholders to carefully read the Circular as it contains important information, including a full description of the Arrangement, background details on the extensive review and negotiation process undertaken, the detailed reasons behind the special independent committee’s recommendation in favour of the proposed transaction, as well as the complete third-party formal valuation and fairness opinion prepared by Ernst & Young LLP and fairness opinion prepared by National Bank Financial Inc.
The Circular will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s dedicated transaction website atwww.siriusxmcanadatransaction.ca. The Circular will also be mailed to all shareholders of record. The Company has fixed 5:00 p.m. eastern time on July 29, 2024 as the record date for the purpose of determining Company voting shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Process of Approval
As described in greater detail in the Circular, the Arrangement is subject to, among other things, the approval by 66 2/3% of the votes cast by SiriusXM Canada voting shareholders voting as a single class, as well as by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Class A Shares (other than interested Company shareholders for the purposes of such vote). The Arrangement is also subject to receipt of court and any necessary regulatory approvals, including Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approval.
