Approximately 89% principal amount of 2027 and 2028 notes successfully tendered

WEST CHESTER, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 23, 2024-- QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) announced today the results of its previously announced exchange offers (each, an “Exchange Offer,” and collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) for any and all of the outstanding notes listed in the table below (collectively, the “Old Notes”) for its newly-issued 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due April 2029 (the “New Notes”) and, as applicable, cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum, dated September 11, 2024 (as supplemented, the “Offering Memorandum” and, together with the eligibility letter and the notice of guaranteed delivery, the “Exchange Offer Documents”).

The Exchange Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 20, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”). The settlement date for the Exchange Offers (the “Settlement Date”) is expected to be September 25, 2024. The table below provides the aggregate principal amount of each series of Old Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date, excluding any Old Notes submitted using the notice of guaranteed delivery. The completion of the Exchange Offers improves QVC’s credit profile with a reduced debt balance and extended maturity profile, supporting a potential future extension of QVC and its affiliates’ existing senior secured credit facility.

* No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Old Notes or as contained in this press release, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification printed on the Old Notes. The CUSIP number is included herein solely for the convenience of the registered owners of the Old Notes.

(1) Based on information provided by the exchange agent to QVC as of the Expiration Date.

(2) The principal amounts and percentage tendered as reflected in the table above (a) do not include $15.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes and $31.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes that were submitted pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures and (b) include Old Notes that were validly tendered to QVC at or prior to the Expiration Date in its offers to purchase Old Notes from holders who were not Eligible Holders. Additional Old Notes may be tendered in QVC’s offers to holders who were not Eligible Holders as such offers expire at a later date.

QVC expects all of the conditions to each Exchange Offer, as described in the Offering Memorandum, to be satisfied prior to the Settlement Date. Accordingly, QVC expects to accept all of the Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Documents, Eligible Holders (as defined in the Exchange Offer Documents) who (i) validly tendered and who did not validly withdraw Old Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) delivered a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery and all other required documents at or prior to the Expiration Date and tender their Old Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 24, 2024 pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, and whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange by QVC, will receive the applicable Total Exchange Consideration (as defined in the Exchange Offer Documents) in the form of New Notes and, as applicable, cash, as well as cash for accrued and unpaid interest from the last applicable interest payment date to, but excluding, Settlement Date.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offering documents, on the Settlement Date QVC expects to deliver an aggregate principal amount of approximately $604.5 million in New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes validly tendered and accepted by QVC and approximately $352.0 million in cash in exchange for the Old Notes validly tendered and accepted by QVC in the Exchange Offers and its offers to purchase Old Notes from holders who were not Eligible Holders, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but excluding, the Settlement Date, without giving effect to any Old Notes that may be tendered through the guaranteed delivery procedures or in QVC’s offers to holders who were not Eligible Holders after the Expiration Date. Liberty Interactive LLC (“LI LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail, Inc., which is the indirect parent of QVC, through its subsidiaries, will contribute approximately $277.0 million in cash to fund a portion of the cash consideration to be paid in all the offers. The actual aggregate principal amounts of New Notes and the amount of cash that will be issued and paid on the Settlement Date and contributed by LI LLC are subject to change based on deliveries under the guaranteed delivery procedures and final validation of tenders, including compliance with the minimum denomination requirements.

The Exchange Offers were made to Eligible Holders pursuant to the Exchange Offer Documents, copies of which may be requested from the information agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (800) 628-8510 (Toll-Free) or (212) 269-5550, by email at QVC@dfking.com, or via the following web address: www.dfking.com/QVC.
