Friday June 13, 4:10 pm ET
Peter G. Peterson to Leave Board of Directors
NEW YORK, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium broadcast entertainment, today announced that affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. have distributed approximately 57 million shares of SIRIUS common stock to their limited partners. These shares of common stock represent approximately 5.75% of SIRIUS' outstanding common stock and are freely tradable and covered by a registration statement.
Blackstone has advised SIRIUS that each of its more than 150 outside limited partners will make its own investment decision with respect to the SIRIUS common stock being distributed to it. Blackstone has reported that it has no plans to sell in the near term any of the SIRIUS shares being distributed to Blackstone itself or any of its principals. In connection with this distribution by Blackstone to its limited partners, SIRIUS has also entered into a customary registration rights agreement for the benefit of Blackstone and its limited partners.
Blackstone has not informed SIRIUS of its intentions relating to the warrants it owns to purchase approximately 42 million shares of SIRIUS common stock. In connection with the recapitalization of its balance sheet on March 7, 2003, SIRIUS issued these warrants to Blackstone at a blended exercise price of $0.99 per share. In connection with the execution of the registration rights agreement, Blackstone has agreed to shorten the term of its warrants to expire in September 2004.
put some mutual funds in cash couple weeks ago waiting for the bubble to burst and missed some nice gains........if we only knew if this was going to happen today or 60 days from now <lol>
hey Lee - just hanging and observing....
Bearmove - IMAX near 7, getting close to entry, may get some a smidge about your 6.85.....sure sounds promising if they can deliver - opening IMAX theaters in existing theater structures - the biggest hangup i've had with IMAX is that their theaters were unique and hard to get to - now they may begin to pop up all over generating some good revenue
do you have an entry point for it? thanks
Bearmove - still in IMAX? - $7.10 here looks interesting....
thanks for your input - i like it to - bought at 1.67 and sold at 1.85 before i knew they owned some GERN and before GERN went on this run
Bear - with GERN upgrade and moving up what do you think of TBIO? I believe it owns some GERN shares? Thanks
thanks for MIR Bruce - in at 2.47 and out at 2.56 - some lunch money
morning Bear - nice calls yesterday - thought i could sneak in a question before the board gets rolling for the day - what are your thoughts on DHB? - thank you
Bear - any thoughts on LOUD? thanks
GERN down to $4.50 after hours (looks like it may have hit $4.40)
GERN thoughts today? remains unchanged all morning

re: Max Pain - is the max pain # a "monthly" number, or does it change? is there someplace one can keep track of the max pain #'s for a multitude of stocks? thanks
Maximum Pain is the price at which most options - puts and calls - expire worthless. Stock and Index prices tend to drift towards Max Pain as options expiration approaches.
augieboo - could you take another look at OPWV for me? - it had a very nice move into the close (up about .15 in the last 10 minutes) - i was wondering if the chart changes now? thank you
sorry - i knew you thought it "might" be a short - just came out wrong - hoping that "if" you did short you then went long in the 2.teens - can't figure it out but this stock doesn't want to crumble??? - got to break one way or the other - sure hope it doesn't do an AKLM.....
