/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, April 17, 2014 /CNW/ - SiriusXM Canada Holdings Inc. ("SiriusXM Canada" or the "Company") (TSX: XSR), parent of SiriusXM Canada Inc., today announced that it has priced an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of senior unsecured notes, due 2021 ("the Notes") on a private placement basis ("the Offering"). The Notes will be offered through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by TD Securities and National Bank Financial and will also include BMO Capital Markets, Canaccord Genuity Corp., CIBC World Markets and RBC Capital Markets.

The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the Offering is expected to close on April 23, 2014. Upon completion of the offering, the net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund the redemption of all of the Company's $130.8 million outstanding 9.75% senior notes due 2018 (plus accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and fees) and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include a return of capital to shareholders, acquisition financing, reinvesting in the business or capital expenditures.

"Our strong track record of operational performance combined with favorable market conditions make this an ideal time to refinance our debt," said Michael Washinushi, Chief Financial Officer, SiriusXM Canada. "We expect that the new lending terms should result in interest expense savings on an annualized basis and additional flexibility on our balance sheet to pursue our strategic initiatives."

The Company expects that the Notes will receive a rating of BB- from Standard & Poor's Rating Services prior to or at closing of the Offering.

The Notes will be sold in Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to certain prospectus exemptions.

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