As previously announced, XM is using the proceeds to repurchase or redeem existing outstanding 14% Senior Secured Notes due 2009, 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 and Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009, which are the subject of a cash tender offer scheduled to expire on MAY 10, 2006, and to make a prepayment of $240 million to retire approximately $320 million of fixed payment debt obligations to GENERAL MOTORS.
