On September 5, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Sirius XM Holdings Inc.

Mr. Stephenson will serve as a Class III director and is expected to stand for reelection at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Stephenson satisfies the definition of an “independent director” under the Nasdaq listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Mr. Stephenson has been the Chief Business Officer and Head of Employee Experience of Airbnb, Inc.

Mr. Stephenson currently serves on the board of directors of Lyft, Inc. (“Lyft”).
As the Chief Business Officer and Head of Employee Experience of Airbnb and having served in executive positions in other technology and e-commerce companies, Mr. Stephenson brings extensive knowledge of the technology and e-commerce industries and operational experience to the boardroom, including an understanding of the operational, financial and strategic issues facing businesses in these sectors. In addition, through his prior roles as Chief Financial Officer at Airbnb and Lyft, Mr. Stephenson brings valuable business and financial insight and experience to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors has named Mr. Stephenson to serve on the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.
Mr. Stephenson will be eligible to receive compensation for his service on the Board of Directors consistent with that provided to all non-employee directors, which is described under the caption “Item 1 – Election of Directors – Director Compensation” in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2025 as adjusted by the Board of Directors from time to time.
There was no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Stephenson and any other person with respect to his appointment to the Board of Directors. In addition, there have been no transactions involving Mr. Stephenson that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
