NEW YORK, March 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today announced that it intends to resume its common stock repurchase program.

SiriusXM also reaffirmed its previously issued guidance for 2014 of:
-- Net subscriber additions of 1.25 million,
-- Revenue of over $4.0 billion,
-- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.38 billion, and
-- Free cash flow approaching $1.1 billion.
Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, including in transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates. The Company will fund the repurchases through cash on hand, future cash flow from operations and future borrowings. Repurchases will be made in compliance with all SEC rules and other legal requirements and may be made in part under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which permits stock repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so.
