(“Qurate Retail”), issued a press release announcing the commencement of two separate exchange offers for eligible holders of QVC’s Old Notes (as defined below): (i) an offer to exchange any and all of QVC’s outstanding 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (“Old 2027 Notes”) for QVC’s newly issued 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (“New Notes”) and cash; and (ii) an offer to exchange any and all of QVC’s outstanding 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (“Old 2028 Notes” and, together with the Old 2027 Notes, the “Old Notes”) for New Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference herein.
