The Shares purchased for cancellation under the Offer represent approximately 0.8% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares as of June 11, 2025, the last full trading day prior to the date the Offer was publicly announced. After giving effect to the Offer, 193,318,469 Shares remain outstanding.
As the total number of Shares tendered was less than the total that could have been purchased by Saturn under the terms of the Offer, all Shares validly deposited and not withdrawn will be purchased under the Offer and no proration will be required. Payment for the Shares accepted for purchase under the Offer will occur in accordance with the terms of the Offer and applicable law.
To assist shareholders in determining the tax consequences of the Offer, Saturn estimates that based on the estimated paid-up capital of $2.18 per Share on the Expiration Date for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), shareholders who disposed of Shares pursuant to the Offer would not be expected to have received a taxable dividend.

Why Everyone Is Talking About Sirius XM Stock
Key Points Sirius XM generates recurring subscription revenue. Berkshire Hathaway owns over one-third of the company. However, Sirius XM faces challenges in expanding its reach. 10 stocks we like better than Sirius XM › Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI) isn't often the center of attention, unlike some of its larger media peers, such as Netflix or Spotify. But that's starting to change. The stock has dropped more than 40% from its highs (as of this writing) in the last 12 months, drawing interest from value hunters and long-term investors alike. And beneath the surface, there's more to the story than meets the eye. So why is everyone talking about Sirius XM stock right now? Here's what investors need to know. Sirius XM operates a recurring revenue business model Sirius XM operates a subscription-based satellite and streaming audio service. Its core business revolves around delivering a broad range of audio content, including music, sports, news, talk shows, and entertainment, to users across North America. For a monthly fee -- depending on the plan -- subscribers gain access via factory-installed satellite radios in vehicles, the SiriusXM app, and smart speakers or other connected devices. Subscription revenue accounts for 76% of the company's total, making it the cornerstone of the business. Sirius XM also generates revenue from advertising (20% of revenue), mainly from users who subscribe to the ad-supported content, primarily through Pandora and podcasting. The remaining 4% of revenue comes from licensing and other hardware sales. In other words, Sirius XM is effectively a hybrid between legacy media and digital streaming, built around vehicle-based installations and habitual listening patterns. Sirius XM has huge backing from smart investors One reason the stock is making headlines is that Berkshire Hathaway owns 35.4% of Sirius XM -- a sizable bet, and not a recent one. Warren Buffett's team has been accumulating shares for years, suggesting long-term conviction. While we can only speculate why Berkshire Hathaway has purchased such a massive stake in the company, there are at least two likely reasons. First, Sirius XM's subscription business is sticky and recurring, with a loyal base of drivers who regularly tune in -- a strong foundation for cash generation, even amid modest subscriber losses. And that brings us to the second point, which is Sirius XM's disciplined capital allocation framework. Historically, the media company has shown restraint in deploying excess capital, focusing on returning cash to shareholders through buybacks and dividends rather than on flashy acquisitions. In the last five years alone, it has repurchased $4 billion worth of stocks. This mix of reliable cash flow and conservative capital use aligns well with Berkshire's investing philosophy. A cheap stock, but not without risk Sirius XM's recent poor stock performance has led to its attractive valuation. As of the time of writing, it has a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 1, down from its five-year high of 3. Comparatively, Spotify trades at a P/S ratio of 8.3 times. The stock looks cheap, but there are real challenges: Sirius XM posted a net loss in 2024, a reversal from its history of profitability. While the loss was primarily due to one-time restructuring and impairment charges, it suggests that the company faces some challenges going forward. Revenue has declined from $9 billion in 2022 to $8.7 billion in 2024, signaling saturation in its core market. Paid subscribers are slipping -- down from 34.9 million in 2019 to 33.2 million in 2024. While Sirius XM remains highly profitable on the cash flow level, having generated $1 billion in free cash flow in 2024, its declining revenue suggests that it is struggling to compete against younger peers like Spotify in expanding its reach. Sirius XM is pinning hopes on its advertising and podcast business, including its acquisition of Pandora. But that turnaround remains a work in progress. Pandora remains far behind the category leaders, and competition in podcasting is fierce. Worse still, Panda's monthly active users have been declining over the last five years as well, down from 63.5 million to 43.3 million. In other words, while Sirius XM still has a loyal base of subscribers, this cohort is contracting over the years, with no sign of a turnaround anytime soon. What does it all mean? Sirius XM is a paradox: It's not growing, but it's still throwing off tons of cash. And while its audio subscription business model looks dated, it has the backing of one of the most respected investors of our time. Whether Sirius is a value trap or a misunderstood opportunity depends on investors' perspective. The company faces real risks, but if it can stabilize its subscriber base and revitalize Pandora, there could be meaningful upside from here. Either way, it's one worth keeping on your radar.

OPEC+ slated to increase oil output in bid to regain market share
Saudi Arabia, Russia and six other key members of the OPEC+ alliance are expected to further hike oil production in a meeting Sunday, a move analysts say is aimed at regaining market share amid resilient crude prices. The anticipated output increase by the group of eight oil-producing countries known as the "Voluntary Eight" (V8), would be the latest in a series of hikes that began in April. In a bid to boost prices, the wider OPEC+ group -- comprising the 12-nation Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies -- in recent years had agreed to three different tranches of output cuts that amounted to almost 6 million barrels per day (bpd) in total. Analysts expect the V8 group -- namely Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman -- to agree on another output increase of 548,000 bpd for September, a target similar to the one approved in August. According to UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo, the likely "quota increase is largely priced in" already, with the price of Brent, the global benchmark for oil, expected to remain near its current level of around $70 per barrel after Sunday's decision. Since April, the V8 group has placed increased focus on regaining market share over price stability, a policy shift after years of enforcing production cuts to prop up prices. - Likely pause in output hikes - But it remains unclear which strategy the group intends to pursue after Sunday's meeting. According to Warren Patterson, an analyst at ING, the V8 nations will likely "take a pause in supply hikes after September". Crude prices have held up better than most analysts had predicted since the production increases began. Experts say that is mainly due to traditionally high summer demand and significant geopolitical risk premiums being built into prices, particularly since the 12-day Iran-Israel war. Moreover, the actual increase in production between March and June was less than the increase in quotas during the same period, said Staunovo, quoting OPEC sources. However, the market is "set to move into large surplus" of oil supply from October, Patterson noted, warning that OPEC+ should remain careful not to be "adding to this surplus". "OPEC+ is doing the balancing act of regaining market share and not sending oil prices plummeting", which would lead to a drop it profits, Tamas Varga, an analyst at PVM, told AFP. Saudi Arabia, the group's most influential member, relies heavily on oil revenues to finance its ambitious plan aimed at diversifying the economy. The unwinding of another set of production cuts of around 3.7 million bpd is to be discussed at the next OPEC+ ministerial meeting in November. - Unstable environment - With demand being unstable in the face of US President Donald Trump's erratic policymaking on trade and supply under threat by geopolitical risks, experts say it is difficult to predict what is next for the oil market. In the latest twist in late July, Trump gave Moscow ten days to end the war in Ukraine, saying that his country would otherwise impose sanctions on Russia. "We're gonna put on tariffs and stuff," he vowed. Trump had previously hinted to an indirect 100-percent surcharge on countries that continue to buy Russian products, particularly hydrocarbons, in order to dry up Moscow's revenues. He has specifically targeted India, the second largest importer of Russian oil at around 1.6 million bpd since the beginning of the year. The developments could prompt OPEC+ to make further policy decisions. However, "OPEC+ will react only to real supply disruptions" and not to price increases linked to risk premiums, said Staunovo. pml-kym/rl/tc
