The following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and the timing of events to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
forward-looking statements: our substantial competition, which is
likely to increase over time; our ability to attract or increase
the number of subscribers, which is uncertain; our ability to
profitably attract and retain more price-sensitive consumers;
failure to protect the security of personal information about our
customers; interference to our service from wireless operations; a
decline in the effectiveness of our extensive marketing efforts;
consumer protection laws and their enforcement; our failure to
realize benefits of acquisitions or other strategic initiatives,
including the acquisition of Pandora Media, Inc.; unfavorable
outcomes of pending or future litigation; the market for music
rights, which is changing and subject to uncertainties; our
dependence upon the auto industry; general economic conditions;
existing or future government laws and regulations could harm our
business; failure of our satellites would significantly damage our
business; the interruption or failure of our information technology
and communications systems; rapid technological and industry
changes; failure of third parties to perform; our failure to comply
with FCC requirements; modifications to our business plan; our
indebtedness; damage to our studios, networks or other facilities
as a result of terrorism or natural catastrophes; our principal
stockholder has significant influence over our affairs and over
actions requiring stockholder approval and its interests may differ
from interests of other holders of our common stock; impairment of
our business by third-party intellectual property rights; and
changes to our dividend policies which could occur at any time.
Additional factors that could cause our results to differ
