Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On April 10, 2014, we entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 1 to the Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2012 (the “Indenture”), among us, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, relating to our 5.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) pursuant to which we agreed to grant a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Sirius XM Radio Inc. and the guarantors to the holders of the Notes. The liens securing the Notes are equal and ratable to the liens granted over such assets to secure our existing $1.25 billion five-year senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, as the administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions and other agents parties thereto.

 

As a result of the granting of liens referred to above to secure the Notes, the ratings of the Notes have been upgraded by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services from BB to BBB- and by Moody’s Investors Service from B1 to Baa3, in each case on April 10, 2014. Pursuant to Section 4.15 of the Indenture (which has been filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, 2012), certain covenants in the Notes are no longer applicable to the Notes as of such date.
