On June 17, 2015, our subsidiary, Sirius XM Radio Inc., entered into an agreement with Capitol Records LLC, Sony Music Entertainment, UMG Recordings, Inc., Warner Music Group Corp. and ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. to settle the case titled Capitol Records LLC et al. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc., No. BC-520981 (Super. Ct. L.A. County), which challenged our use of sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972 ("pre-1972 recordings"). Pursuant to the settlement, we will pay the plaintiffs, in the aggregate, $210 million on or before July 15, 2015 and the plaintiffs will dismiss their lawsuit with prejudice. The settlement resolves all past claims as to our use of pre-1972 recordings owned or controlled by the plaintiffs and enables us, without any additional payment, to reproduce, perform and broadcast such recordings in the United States through December 31, 2017. As part of the settlement, we have the right, to be exercised before December 31, 2017, to enter into a license with each plaintiff to reproduce, perform and broadcast its pre-1972 recordings from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022. The royalty rate for each such license will be determined by negotiation or, if the parties are unable to agree, binding arbitration. The plaintiffs have represented and warranted to us that in the United States they own, control or otherwise have the right to contract with respect to approximately 80% of the pre-1972 recordings we have historically used.
