PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement contains information related to the annual meeting of stockholders of Sirius
XM Radio Inc. to be held on Wednesday, May 25, 2011, beginning at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, in The
Auditorium at The Equitable Center, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, and at any
postponements or adjournments thereof. This proxy statement is being distributed or made available, as the
case may be, to stockholders on or about April 15, 2011.
ABOUT THE MEETING
What is the purpose of the annual meeting?
At our annual meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the Notice of 2011 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, including:
the election of eight directors (the “Common Stock Directors”) to our board (Joan L. Amble, Leon D.
Black, Lawrence F. Gilberti, Eddy W. Hartenstein, James P. Holden, Mel Karmazin, James F. Mooney
and Jack Shaw — these eight nominees are referred to as the “Common Stock Director Nominees”),
which will be voted upon by the holders of our common stock;
the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accountants,
which will be voted upon by the holders of our common stock and our Series B-1 Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class;
the approval, in a non-binding, advisory vote, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers,
which will be voted upon by the holders of our common stock and our Series B-1 Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class;
the determination, in a non-binding, advisory vote, of the frequency of future advisory votes on the
compensation paid to our named executive officers, which will be voted upon by the holders of our
common stock and our Series B-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class; and
such other business that may properly be conducted at the annual meeting or any adjournment or
postponement thereof.
An affiliate of Liberty Media Corporation owns all of the outstanding shares of our Series B-1 Preferred
Stock. That holder of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock does not have the right to vote with the holders of our
common stock to elect the Common Stock Directors at the annual meeting. Instead, the Series B-1 Preferred
Stock is entitled to designate and elect members of our board of directors proportional to its interest in the
company (the “Preferred Stock Directors”). John C. Malone, Gregory B. Maffei and David J.A. Flowers were
first elected to our board of directors in 2009 as Preferred Stock Directors. Vanessa A. Wittman and Carl E.
Vogel were elected to our board of directors in April 2011 as Preferred Stock Directors.
