===============================================================================









    This Amendment No. 1 to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO
relates to the results of an offer by Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), to exchange all of the Company's outstanding 8 3/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Convertible Notes") for the
Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), upon the
terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Prospectus and Solicitation
Statement dated January 30, 2003 and the related Letter of Transmittal and
Consent.

    The Company reports that $14,717,000 in principal amount, or 89.41% of the
outstanding principal amount, of the Convertible Notes was tendered in the
exchange offer for the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the
exchange offer, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of, and
accrued interest on, the outstanding debt of the Company reduced the minimum
tender condition to the exchange offer to 90% in aggregate principal amount of
outstanding indebtedness and eliminated any minimum requirement with respect to
the Convertible Notes. On March 7, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of
12,436,656 shares of Common Stock to holders of 8 3/4% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2009 who had validly tendered in the exchange offer.

    This Amendment No. 1 to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO
is being filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
