The following is being issued by “Save
Sirius”:
A group of incensed shareholders, over 500 strong and growing, have banned
together and accused SIRIUS XM management of unjustly enriching themselves at
the expense of shareholders.
A derivative suit on behalf of shareholders has been filed in the United
States District Court, Central District of
Case number SACV08-00790CJC
The case accuses management of violations of the FEDERAL RACKETEER
INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS ACT (RICO), BREACH OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTY
AND THE SHERMAN ACT.
This suit seeks to prevent management from further damaging its
shareholders with massive amounts of additional dilution (8 billion shares in
the fully diluted float) and as much as a 1 for 50 reverse stock split.
“We are working to gain control of our company by seeking to remove
current members of the board as well as top executive
15th
“Given Sirius XM’s low stock price, Mr. Karmazin said he would love to take
the company private. But given the state of the credit markets, ‘How do you
find [the money] today?’ If the company were generating positive cash flow,
which he expects it to do for the full year in 2009, privatization would
become much more feasible, he says.”
It is clear that management under Mr. Karmazin’s leadership has an agenda
to steal this company from its shareholders.
Given Management’s history of:
— Locking their shareholders into the longest merger delay in history;
— Preventing the Corporation from seeking alternatives or potential
suitors;
— Failing to commercially introduce interoperable radios;
— Their insistence on going forward with the merger at any and all costs;
— Consummating the merger issuing 300 million shares to the financiers of
XM’s debt to be sold short on the open market
Mr. Karmazin and the board have severely damaged shareholder value in violation of their fiduciary duties. Shareholders have lost over 90% of their value under Mr. Karmazin’s leadership.
“In light of the aforementioned, it is clear that they have lost sight of their obligations to shareholders and have breached and will continue to breach their fiduciary duties in the future. We, as a group, will not stand for this and will use any means possible to prevent and preclude them from stealing this company from its rightful owners — we the shareholders,” said Michael Hartleib, on behalf of Save Sirius and its members.
