Prior to the closing of the Transactions, the board of directors of Old Sirius had approved the repurchase of an aggregate of $18.0 billion of its common stock. As of the closing of the Transactions, Old Sirius' cumulative repurchases since December 2012 under that stock repurchase program totaled 373 million shares for $16.8 billion, and $1.166 billion remained available under that stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program of Old Sirius was terminated on the closing date of the Transactions.
On September 10, 2024, we announced that our board of directors had approved for repurchase an aggregate of $1.166 billion of our common stock. The board of directors did not establish an end date for this stock repurchase program. Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, including in accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or otherwise. We intend to fund any stock repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future borrowings. The size and timing of any purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

COMPARISON OF CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
Set forth below is a graph comparing the cumulative performance of our common stock with the Standard & Poor's Composite-500 Stock Index, or the S&P 500, and the S&P 500 Media & Entertainment Index, the published industry index we previously used for the purposes of the SEC rules, and the S&P 1500 Media & Entertainment Index, the new published industry index we have selected to use, from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2024. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2019, in each of our common stock, the S&P 500, the S&P 500 Media & Entertainment Index and the S&P 1500 Media and Entertainment Index .
The information in the graph represents the performance of the common stock of Old Sirius for the period from December 31, 2019 to September 9, 2024, the closing of the Transactions, and the performance of our common stock from September 10, 2024 to December 31, 2024.
We determined to change the published industry index used for the required performance graph to the S&P 1500 Media & Entertainment Index following a review by the Compensation Committee’s independent consultants, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, to identify the most-appropriate index for determining a part of our executive compensation awards. This review concluded that the S&P 1500 Media & Entertainment Index was more closely aligned with companies in our executive compensation peer group than the S&P 500 Media & Entertainment Index. From an investor perspective, the S&P 1500 Media & Entertainment Index also was found to consist of additional companies that more closely aligned as peers than those contained in the S&P 500 Media & Entertainment Index and other alternatives that were tested, supporting its relevance to investors for relative capital-market performance comparisons.
Our board of directors expects to declare regular quarterly dividends.
