• If
  you listen to your SIRIUS radio wirelessly through your vehicle’s FM
  radio, then please review the solutions listed below and select the one
  that works best for you. SIRIUS will provide you the best solution at
  no cost.

• If you use your SIRIUS radio only
  when docked in a boombox, or directly connected to your car radio or
  home stereo using audio cables or a cassette tape adapter, then no
  interference can occur and no further action is required, provided you
  have turned off your FM transmitter. To turn off the FM transmitter,
  first press the MENU button. Use the channel up/down buttons to
  highlight “FM Transmitter” and push the SELECT button. Use the channel
  up/down buttons to highlight the “FM On/Off” menu item and then press
  the SELECT button. Use the up/down buttons to highlight “FM Off” and
  press the SELECT button. To exit the “FM On/Off” menu, press the MENU
  button. Use the same procedure to turn off the FM transmitter if you use Solution 1 or Solution 2 below..

Solution 1 – Direct Wired Audio Connection:
If your vehicle radio has a “LINE IN” or “AUX IN” jack, you can use a
stereo cable to connect directly to your SIRIUS radio. This solution
is the easiest to install and provides the best audio performance.
Many newer vehicles provide the required audio input jack. It will
normally be found on or near the front faceplate of your vehicle’s
radio.

Solution 2 – Cassette Tape Adapter:
If your vehicle has a cassette tape player, you can use a cassette
adapter that allows you to play your SIRIUS radio through the cassette
portion of your vehicle radio. The adapter slips into your vehicle
radio as easily as a cassette tape and provides better performance than
a wireless connection.

Solution 3 – FM Extender Cable Kit:
An FM extender cable will provide a special transmitter antenna that
allows you obtain the best audio performance through your vehicle’s FM
radio. This solution is easy to self-install, but does require that an
easy-to-hide wire be run in your vehicle so the transmitter antenna can
be placed in close proximity to your vehicle’s radio antenna. Using
this FM Extender Cable Kit, you will continue to use your SIRIUS radio
exactly the same way as you do currently.

Solution 4 – FM Direct Adapter with Professional Installation:
An FM Direct Adapter provides a wired connection between your SIRIUS
radio and your vehicle’s radio. You will continue to listen to your
SIRIUS radio through the FM tuner of your car radio, but the FM Direct
Adapter eliminates the outside static and interference you sometimes
experience when using a wireless FM connection. This solution usually
requires professional installation. We will provide a certificate
redeemable for installation at an installation center in your area.

Please go to www.sirius.com/optimize
and select the solution that works best for you. If you have any
questions, please call 1-(877) 635-5130. Detailed instructions will be
included with your solution.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Inc. announced today the
commencement of an offering of shares of its common stock. The common
stock being offered represent shares of SIRIUS common stock that SIRIUS
will be lending to affiliates of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
and UBS Investment Bank, the share borrowers, pursuant to share lending
agreements between SIRIUS and each of the share borrowers. It is
estimated that, based on current market values, approximately
$375,000,000 of SIRIUS common stock will be sold in a fixed-price
public offering described below, and up to approximately $65,000,000 of
SIRIUS common stock will be sold as described below from time to time
at prevailing market or negotiated prices. The exact number of shares
of SIRIUS common stock to be offered will depend on the terms of the
concurrent offering of exchangeable senior subordinated notes described
below and the hedging to be conducted by investors in such notes. While
the borrowed shares will be considered issued and outstanding for
corporate law purposes, SIRIUS believes that under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles currently in effect, the borrowed shares
will not be considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and
reporting earnings (loss) per share because the borrowed shares are
required to be returned to SIRIUS.

The
common stock offering is being conducted concurrently with a private
offering by XM Satellite Radio Inc. of $550 million aggregate principal
amount of Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (“Notes”)
which will be exchangeable into shares of SIRIUS common stock. The
terms of the Notes, including the interest rate and exchange ratio,
will be determined at the time that such offering is priced. The Notes
have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or
to U.S. person absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of applicable securities laws.

In
connection with the common stock offering, SIRIUS will enter into a
share lending agreement with each of the share borrowers, pursuant to
which SIRIUS will lend shares to the share borrowers. The share
borrowers will sell a portion of the borrowed shares in a fixed-price
public offering expected to close concurrently with the Notes offering.
After the closing of the fixed- price offering, the share borrowers
will offer and sell the remaining borrowed shares in one or more
registered public offerings at prevailing market or negotiated prices.
Over the same period that the share borrowers sell the remaining
borrowed shares, the share borrowers or their affiliates expect to
purchase at least an equal number of shares of SIRIUS common stock on
the open market and/or enter into derivative transactions providing it
with a synthetic long position equal to such number of shares. SIRIUS
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of its common stock by the
share borrowers other than a nominal loan fee equal to $0.001 per share
issued to the share borrowers. The share borrowers will be required to
return the borrowed shares pursuant to the share lending agreements
following the maturity date of the Notes or their earlier retirement.

Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated and UBS Investment Bank will act as sole
underwriters for the sale of the borrowed shares. A prospectus can be
obtained by contacting Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, 180
Varick Street, New York, NY 10014; Attention: Prospectus Department or
by email at prospectus@morganstanley.com or by contacting UBS
Investment Bank, Attention: Prospectus Department, 299 Park Avenue, New
York, NY 10171, (888) 827-7275.

This press release shall not
constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities
laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

conversion rate is estimated to be approximately 48%, up from the first

revenue of $226 million. Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and
stock based compensation, are expected to remain approximately flat in
the second quarter 2008 as compared to the second quarter 2007. Second

Merrill Lynch’s Glen Campbell this morning raised his rating on Sirius Satellite Radio to Buy from Hold, while slightly trimming his price target to $2.70 from $2.80. Campbell says he expect “imminent approval” from the FCC for its pending merger with XM Satellite Radio. Campbell says the upgrade reflects the recent decline in the stock and the upbeat post-merger guidance the company provided yesterday. The company sees $400 million in merger synergies, positive free cash flow before satellite cap ex and $300 million in EBITDA before stock compensation.

Campbell contends the current valuation discounts 30 million subscribers in 2017, which would be about 1 million new subs a year after 2009. He thinks that may be too low, noting that satellite radio should become more appealing and affordable post merger with tiered and a la carte pricing.

Despite the upgrade, SIRI today is unchanged at $1.92.
