achieved or accomplished. The following include some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to
differ materially from those anticipated:

• customer demand for our products and services and our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers

by anticipating customer demand and adapting to changes in demand;

• competitor responses to our products and services;

losses;

• advertising spending levels;

• changes in distribution and viewing of television programming, including the expanded deployment of video on demand

technologies and Internet protocol television and their impact on home shopping programming;

crises, and other catastrophic events or other events outside of our control, including climate change;

ANNUAL REPORT 2023 5

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

April 2024

What a difference a year can make. In early 2023, our business was in a challenged position. We reported large
declines in revenue, adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow for 2022 against a difficult macro backdrop and continued
impacts of the tragic Rocky Mount fire. While we were making progress on our Project Athens turnaround and
had confidence in our future, our efforts hadn’t come through to our financial results.

Through 2023, we improved our execution and reduced operating costs. These actions resulted in expanded gross
margins and optimized inventory. We divested Zulily in May, simplifying our portfolio and benefiting profitability
and our go-forward liquidity. We paid down nearly $1 billion in gross debt. The third quarter was a clear inflection
point in our operations. For the first time in over two years, we grew adjusted OIBDA1, up 54% year-over-year as
reported. We sustained this momentum in Q4, with adjusted OIBDA up 73%. For the full year 2023, we grew net
cash provided by operating activities by $725 million and free cash flow2 by $586 million from 2022.

We proved in 2023 that Qurate can deliver on its commitments. We are a relevant, profitable, cash-generative and
more streamlined business. Our momentum is promising, and we intend to sustain this through 2024 and beyond.

QVC US and HSN

Our video commerce businesses are based on a simple insight: a significant and valuable portion of consumers
view shopping as much more than a way to acquire material needs at the lowest possible price. These consumers
see shopping as an opportunity to explore, dream and connect. Retailers that provide this connection for
consumers, with the shopping experiences they crave, can be highly successful and profitable. Other retailers
focus on algorithms, efficiency and price, and this too can be a successful model, but we believe their “dehumanized”
experiences leave a large group of shoppers underserved.

QVC and HSN’s video commerce model engages our audience in uniquely powerful ways, as seen in the enviable
characteristics of our core customer. We serve an ideal customer segment: women ages 50+ who love to shop,
have impressive purchasing power and represent a growing percent of the population. In 2023, our existing customers
generated 90% of our annual sales, with an average of 31 items purchased and $1,600 in annual spend. At QVC
US, our best customers (those who purchase more than 20 items per year) bought 76 items and increased their
annual spend 9% year-over-year to $3,900. We saw improved stabilization in our customer count in 2023, along with
encouraging signs of customer behavior, including growing our new customers in the second half of the year for
the first time in over two years.

Our core customers continue to respond to our uniquely compelling video shopping experiences. In 2023, despite
ongoing shifts in how and where people view video, our total linear minutes viewed rose 15% year-over-year.
This growth reflects better execution in a variety of areas:

• We refreshed our assortment with more than 850 new brands, many of which deliver enhanced value at

higher price points. We ramped up Fire Light, a proprietary lab-grown diamond brand, which helped QVC
achieve an approximately 70% year-over-year increase in sales of real and lab-grown diamonds in 2023.
Average sales price for these items doubled year-over-year. Over Black Friday weekend, HSN sold out of a
Daymak e-bike priced at over $1,000.

• We elevated the appeal and urgency of our daily deals, and we generated excitement with our destination

events. QVC’s 49-hour nonstop holiday party attracted 680,000 customers including 40,000 new customers.

• We continue to shorten our delivery times and improve returns processes.

We are a unique retailer with a proven ability to drive high-volume, profitable sales through live video. This makes
QVC and HSN still the ideal growth platforms for entrepreneurs, celebrities and established brands. We empower our
vendors to share products and stories directly with our customers in live, interactive experiences that build
personal connections.

As the New York Times recently commented, QVC Host Shawn Killinger’s selling style is “mac-and-cheese
comforting” and further commented on QVC Host David Venable: “His nonjudgmental energy transforms solo
TV-watching into a communal experience… and he is never desperate to make a sale.” QVC and HSN remain highly
relevant to our target demographic across media platforms.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONTINUED)

We’re excited about expanding our celebrity lineups. At HSN, we celebrated a launch with musical icon Lionel
Richie over the summer. We wrapped up the year with a launch from the legendary Chaka Khan. In October, multi-
hyphenate music legend Dolly Parton chose to debut an exclusive version of her new, certified gold-selling
“Rockstar” album on HSN and said to People magazine: “We’ve had such success with everybody there, so we
thought, ‘Well, why not just promote my rock album, too?’” At QVC, recent launches include The Outset (founded
by actress Scarlett Johansson and Kate Foster) and BEAUTIFUL by Lawrence Zarian (style expert and host).

Our transformation is designed to reinvigorate our core value proposition through better execution. We’re not
fundamentally changing who we are. We remain highly confident in our unique model, and we look forward to
applying it across more distribution platforms.

Streaming

So far, no one has cracked the code on driving profitable merchandise sales at scale through streaming platforms.
Leveraging the fundamental strengths of our model as outlined in the prior section, we believe we bring specific
advantages to scale our streaming offering and further increase our relevance as digital shopping continues to
evolve.

First, we have a growing presence on every major streaming platform. We were early in putting our linear channels
on over-the-top, free, ad-supported TV (“FAST”) services—currently the fastest growing space in streaming. Our
reach in FAST grew 25% year-over-year, including recent launches with Redbox Free Live TV, Amazon Prime Video’s
Freevee, Sling Freestream and VIZIO WatchFree+. We are present on nearly all virtual subscription services, such
as YouTube TV and Sling TV. Our core QVC+ and HSN+ streaming service is available in over 100 million internet
connected US homes.

Second, through our production teams and our vendor relationships, we can create large amounts of high-quality
streaming content quickly and cost efficiently. HSN+ recently debuted “Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone,” which
features the award-winning chef cooking, chatting and engaging in friendly competition with celebrity guests. In
TV Insider, Stone called the show “the next chapter of my culinary journey with HSN and HSN+ as we enter the video
podcast arena together.” QVC+ announced “Busy This Week,” an original late-night talk show, hosted by author,
actor, activist and writer Busy Philipps. She told Variety that QVC+ is “perfect for reaching our audience.” Our
streaming content is driving increased engagement: in 2023, total minutes viewed on our owned platforms and FAST
channels increased 23% to 3.6 billion, representing 5% of our total US minutes viewed.

Third, we know how to monetize video content through product sales. Though still a small percentage of our
overall revenue base, streaming revenue grew more than 50% in 2023. We see similar growth rates continuing into
2024 as the business begins to scale.

We’re also experimenting beyond the TV screen with live shopping formats for smartphones and social pages. We
look forward to updating you on our progress.

QVC International

QVC International returned to top- and bottom-line growth in the back half of 2023 for the first time since the
second quarter of 2021, thanks to a series of initiatives targeting cost reductions, product margins and broadcast
execution.

We are pleased with the customer response to Integrated Experience, our immersive multi-platform digital concept
for enthusiasts in a specific market niche—such as gardening in the UK and culinary in Germany. The concept is
driving an uplift in sales in these categories. Gardening sales in the UK rose 14% year-over-year following the
April 2023 launch, while culinary sales in Germany rose 21% year-over-year following the July 2023 launch. Integrated
Experience combines live videos, interactive chats and digital journeys across our apps, websites, broadcast
channels and streaming to create a seamless, holistic experience for superfans of the category. We believe we can
scale this concept to other category segments and markets over time.

At the same time, QVC International continues to enhance its digital customer experience through other innovations.
In 2023, we upgraded our streaming capabilities, launched an improved online platform for customer ratings and
reviews and added an AI tool to our websites in the UK and Germany that helps customers choose the right size and
fit, which then drives them to buy. Moving forward, we’ve added and expanded growth initiatives in advanced
analytics, content innovation, digital optimization, returns management and more, much of which will leverage our
growing capabilities in generative AI being incubated out of the UK team.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023 7

Cornerstone Brands

Our Cornerstone Brands—Ballard Designs, Frontgate, Garnet Hill and Grandin Road—faced a challenging
environment in 2023, with housing starts and home sales at historically depressed levels and a highly promotional
marketplace. With this backdrop, the team diligently managed costs to grow gross margins for the full year and
deliver only modest contraction in adjusted OIBDA margins.

Expanding physical retail presence has been a successful tool for driving deeper customer engagement and
improved conversion with better access to our design services. We continue to expand our retail store network,
opening four new stores and relocating three others in 2023. We plan to open six more stores and relocate a seventh
in 2024. In addition, we are expanding our category assortment to lower our reliance on seasonal décor and
cover more rooms in the house.

Capital Structure

We are committed to continued capital structure improvements while the business progresses its operational
health. In 2023, we paid down nearly $1 billion in gross debt. We generated $919 million of net cash provided by
operating activities and $577 million of free cash flow2 and ended the year with QVC, Inc.’s net leverage at 2.4x,
providing sufficient cushion relative to the 4.5x maximum leverage covenant threshold in our credit facility. Earlier this
year, we completed the redemption of the QVC 4.75% notes due 2024 using cash on hand and revolver capacity.
In 2024, we will continue to benefit from growth in adjusted OIBDA and solid free cash flow generation and will
assess incremental opportunities to improve the balance sheet.

Closing

We are pleased with the hard work from our team in 2023 and significant results produced, specifically in returning
Qurate to free cash flow growth in 2023 and substantially improving profitability in the second half of the year.
While there is more work to be done, we made meaningful progress on stabilizing our revenue and our customer
file. In 2024, we plan to build on our momentum, reinforce our relevance in an evolving retail environment and set
Qurate in a strong position for 2025 and beyond.

We hope to see you at this year’s Liberty Investor Day which will take place on November 14th in New York City.
This year will be at a new location at Jazz at Lincoln Center at 10 Columbus Circle.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to updating you on our progress.

PURPOSE

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:

• the election of directors proposal, to elect Richard N. Barton, David Rawlinson ll and Gregory B. Maffei to continue
serving as Class II members of our Board until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation

• the say-on-pay proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as

described in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation”.

You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting,
although we are not aware at this time of any other business that might come before the annual meeting.

RECOMMENDATION OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals for inclusion in the proxy
materials and recommends that you vote FOR the election of each director nominee and FOR the
auditors ratification proposal and FOR the say-on-pay proposal.

QUORUM

In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that the holders of at
least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record
date and entitled to vote at the annual meeting must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy.
Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum at the meeting. For
purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if you indicate on your
proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the
broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if those shares
are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker non-votes)
will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See “—Voting Procedures
for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes” below.

WHO MAY VOTE

Holders of shares of our common stock, as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 16,
2024 (such date and time, the record date for the annual meeting), will be entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to
vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

THE ANNUAL ME ET IN G

VOTES REQUIRED

Each director nominee who receives a plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common
stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the
annual meeting, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office.

Approval of each of the auditors ratification proposal and say-on-pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority
of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and
entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of each required vote.

VOTES YOU HAVE

At the annual meeting, holders of shares of QRTEA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of QRTEB will
have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date. Holders of QRTEP will NOT
be eligible to vote at the annual meeting.

SHARES OUTSTANDING

As of the record date, 387,931,205 shares of QRTEA and 8,927,840 shares of QRTEB were issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

NUMBER OF HOLDERS

There were, as of the record date, 2,112 and 57 record holders of QRTEA and QRTEB, respectively (which amounts do
not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include
each such institution as one holder).

VOTING PROCEDURES FOR RECORD HOLDERS

Holders of record of our common stock as of the record date may vote via the Internet at the annual meeting or prior to
the annual meeting by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper copy of the proxy materials
by mail, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail.

Holders of record may vote their shares electronically during the meeting via the Internet by visiting
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/QRI2024. To enter the annual meeting, holders will need the 16-digit control number
that is printed on their Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting to ensure
that they are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on June 10, 2024.

Instructions for voting prior to the annual meeting by using the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy voting
instructions attached to the proxy card. In order to vote prior to the annual meeting through the Internet, holders should have
their Notices or proxy cards available so they can input the required information from the Notice or proxy card, and log
onto the Internet website address shown on the Notice or proxy card. When holders log onto the Internet website address,
they will receive instructions on how to vote their shares. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our common stock
represented by a proxy submitted as described herein and received at or before the annual meeting will be voted in
accordance with the instructions on the proxy.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is recommended that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting.
You may change your vote at the annual meeting.

If you submit a properly executed proxy without indicating any voting instructions as to a proposal enumerated in the
Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of each
director nominee and “FOR” each of the auditors ratification proposal and say-on-pay proposal.

QU RATE R ETAI L, I NC.

/ 9

THE ANNUAL ME ET IN G

If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the election of
directors proposal and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” each of the other proposals.

If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, and your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether
any of the proposals are approved (if a quorum is present).

VOTING PROCEDURES FOR SHARES HELD IN STREET NAME

GENERAL

If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by
your broker, bank or other nominee when voting your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of the
New York Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees
from voting shares on behalf of their clients without specific instructions from their clients with respect to numerous matters,
including, in our case, the election of directors and say-on-pay proposals, each as described in this proxy statement.
Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, we encourage you to provide promptly
specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

EFFECT OF BROKER NON-VOTES

Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our common stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a
quorum but will have no effect on any of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee
provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of common stock or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

REVOKING A PROXY

If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by attending the annual
meeting online and voting via the Internet at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed
proxy with a later date to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Any signed proxy
revocation or later-dated proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting. In addition, you may change your
vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 11:59 p.m.,
New York City time, on June 9, 2024 for shares held directly.

Your attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.

If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your
vote or revoke your proxy.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

We are soliciting proxies by means of our proxy materials on behalf of our Board of Directors. In addition to this mailing,
our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We also reimburse
brokers and other nominees for their expenses in sending paper proxy materials to you and getting your voting instructions.

If you have any further questions about voting or attending the annual meeting, please contact Qurate Retail Investor
Relations at (866) 876-0461 or Broadridge at (888) 789-8461 (outside the United States (626) 427-6421).

OTHER MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Our Board of Directors is not currently aware of any business to be acted on at the annual meeting other than that which
is described in the Notice and this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought to a vote at the annual
meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote or to act on these matters according to their best

Proposal

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERVIEW

What am I being
asked to vote on
and how should I
vote?

We are asking our stockholders to elect Richard N. Barton, David
Rawlinson II and Gregory B. Maffei to continue serving as Class II
members of our Board until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders
or their earlier resignation or removal.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine directors, divided among
three classes. Our Class II directors, whose term will expire at the 2024 annual
meeting, are Richard N. Barton, David Rawlinson ll and Gregory B. Maffei.
These directors are nominated for election to our Board to continue serving
as Class II directors, and we have been informed that each of Messrs. Barton,
Rawlinson and Maffei are willing to continue serving as a director of our

company. The term of the Class II directors who are elected at the annual meeting will expire at the annual meeting of our
stockholders in the year 2027. Our Class III directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders
in the year 2025, are John C. Malone, M. Ian G. Gilchrist and Andrea L. Wong. Our Class I directors, whose term will expire
at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2026, are Fiona P. Dias, Evan D. Malone and Larry E. Romrell.

If any nominee should decline election or should become unable to serve as a director of our company for any reason
before election at the annual meeting, votes will be cast by the persons appointed as proxies for a substitute nominee, if
any, designated by the Board of Directors.

The following lists the three nominees for election as directors at the annual meeting and the six directors of our company
whose term of office will continue after the annual meeting, and includes as to each person how long such person has
been a director of our company, such person’s professional background, other public company directorships and other
factors considered in the determination that such person possesses the requisite qualifications and skills to serve as a
member of our Board of Directors. For additional information on our Board’s evaluation of director candidates or incumbent
directors seeking re-election, see “Corporate Governance—Board Criteria and Director Candidates.” All positions
referenced in the biographical information below with our company include, where applicable, positions with our
predecessors. The number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned by each director is set forth in this proxy
statement under the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Messrs. Barton, Rawlinson
and Maffei, who are nominated for election at the annual meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our
company and such nominations were approved by the entire Board of Directors.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION
A plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented
by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the annual meeting, voting together as

Corporate Governance

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

It is our policy that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors be independent of our management. For a
director to be deemed independent, our Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or
indirect material relationship with us. To assist our Board of Directors in determining which of our directors qualify as
independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating
and corporate governance committee of our Board of Directors follows Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules on the criteria
for director independence.

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Richard N. Barton, Fiona P. Dias, M. Ian G. Gilchrist, Larry E. Romrell
and Andrea L. Wong qualifies as an independent director of our company.

BOARD COMPOSITION

As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our Board is comprised of directors with a
broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, science and technology, venture
capital, investment banking, auditing and financial engineering. Our Board is also chronologically diverse with our members’
ages spanning five decades. For more information on our policies with respect to Board candidates, see “—Board
Criteria and Director Candidates” below.

BOARD CLASSIFICATION

As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our Board of Directors currently consists of
nine directors, divided among three classes. Our Board believes that its current classified structure, with directors serving for
three-year terms, is the appropriate board structure for our company at this time and is in the best interests of our
stockholders for the following reasons.

LONG-TERM FOCUS & ACCOUNTABILITY

Our Board believes that a classified board encourages our directors to look to the long-term best interest of our company
and our stockholders, rather than being unduly influenced by the short-term focus of certain investors and special interests.
In addition, our Board believes that three-year terms focus director accountability on the Board’s long-term strategic
vision and performance, rather than short-term pressures and circumstances.

CONTINUITY OF BOARD LEADERSHIP

A classified board allows for a greater amount of stability and continuity providing institutional perspective and knowledge
to both management and less-tenured directors. By its very nature, a classified board ensures that at any given time
there will be experienced directors serving on our Board who are fully immersed in and knowledgeable about our
businesses, including our relationships with current and potential strategic partners, as well as the competition, opportunities,
risks and challenges that exist in the industries in which our businesses operate. We also believe the benefit of a classified
board to our company and our stockholders comes not from continuity alone but rather from the continuity of highly
qualified, engaged and knowledgeable directors focused on long-term stockholder interests. Each year, our nominating
and corporate governance committee works actively to ensure our Board continues to be comprised of such individuals.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

—

Our Board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer).
Gregory B. Maffei holds the position of Chairman of the Board, leads our Board and Board meetings and provides
strategic guidance to our Chief Executive Officer. David Rawlinson II, our President, holds the position of Chief Executive
Officer, leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our company. We believe this division
of responsibility effectively assists our Board in fulfilling its duties.

BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant
Board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks and risks relating to potential conflicts of
interest. Our compensation committee oversees the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements
with senior officers. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the nomination of individuals with the
judgment, skills, integrity and independence necessary to oversee the key risks associated with our company, as well as
risks inherent in our corporate structure. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full Board. In addition, the
oversight and review of other strategic risks are conducted directly by the full Board.

The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are
designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical short-,
intermediate- and long-term risks. These areas of focus include existing and emerging strategic, operational, financial and
reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, cybersecurity and other risks, including those related to
material environmental and social matters such as climate change, human capital management, diversity, equity and
inclusion, and community relations. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from our Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer, which are prepared with input from our senior management team, and also include
input from our internal audit group and our Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, who manages our company’s
sustainability efforts and remains in regular contact with senior sustainability leaders across our portfolio of companies who
provide feedback and disclosure on material issues. Our company also receives the benefit of Liberty Media’s Corporate

business objectives. With our Board’s oversight, we seek to collaborate across our portfolio of companies to drive best
practices through regular sustainability-focused internal meetings and discussions, including on topics such as sustainability
disclosure, diversity and inclusion and cybersecurity.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which
constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of business
conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.qurateretail.com/investors/corporate-governance/governance-
documents.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption, other
than Evan D. Malone, who is the son of John C. Malone.

During the past ten years, none of our directors and executive officers has had any involvement in such legal proceedings
as would be material to an evaluation of his or her ability or integrity.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has four standing committees: audit, compensation, executive and nominating and corporate
governance. The key responsibilities and focus areas of each committee, as well as their current members and information
on number of meetings during 2023 are set forth below. The written charters for the audit, compensation and nominating
and corporate governance committees as adopted by each such committee, as well as our corporate governance guidelines
(which were developed by the nominating and corporate governance committee), can be found on our website at
www.qurateretail.com.

Our Board of Directors, by resolution, may from time to time establish other committees of our Board of Directors,
consisting of one or more of our directors. Any committee so established will have the powers delegated to it by resolution
of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable law.

The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of each of the audit, compensation and nominating and
corporate governance committees are independent. See “—Director Independence.”

2 6 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

CO RPO RATE GOV E RNAN CE

BOARD CRITERIA AND DIRECTOR CANDIDATES

BOARD CRITERIA. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should
possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the
long-term interests of our stockholders. To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific
minimum criteria. As described in our corporate governance guidelines, director candidates are identified and nominated
based on broad criteria, with the objective of identifying and retaining directors that can effectively develop our company’s
strategy and oversee management’s execution of that strategy. In the director candidate identification and nomination
process, our Board seeks a breadth of experience from a variety of industries and from professional disciplines, along with
a diversity of gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one
recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• independence from management;

• his or her unique background, including education, professional experience, relevant skill sets and diversity of

gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics;

• judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;

• existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;

• personal conflicts of interest, if any; and

• the size and composition of the existing Board of Directors, including whether the potential director nominee would
positively impact the composition of the Board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the Board of Directors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular
criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.

OUTSIDE COMMITMENTS. In recent years, some investors and proxy advisors have instituted “bright-line” proxy voting
policies on the number of outside public company boards that a director may serve on. Our Board of Directors recognizes
investors’ concerns that highly sought-after directors could lack the time and attention to adequately perform their duties
and responsibilities, and considers each director’s performance and commitment to ensure their continued effectiveness as
a director. Given our company’s ownership interests in other public companies, our company and our Board values the
positions our directors and members of management hold on the boards of these entities, as they provide our company
with unique insight and input into those businesses and their operations. The nominating and corporate governance
committee also recognizes and values the benefits derived by our directors from their service on other public company
boards, as such service provides our directors with diverse perspectives, in-depth industry knowledge and cross-industry
insights, all of which enhance the knowledge base and skill set of our Board as a whole.

Our Board also recognizes the uniqueness of the relationships among Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband,
Atlanta Braves Holdings, and Liberty TripAdvisor, including the collaborative approach to addressing sustainability, as well
as with the portfolio of assets within each of these public companies. To the extent our directors serve on more than one of
the boards of these companies, we believe that such service is an important aspect of our directors’ (including Messrs.
Malone and Maffei) service, as it capitalizes on various synergies between and among these boards. For this reason, we
believe that a better presentation of these directors’ outside commitments is to consider the number of their “non-Liberty”
public company board directorships (see “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal—Our Board at a Glance”).
Based on this perspective, we have considered the facts-and-circumstances of the roles of our directors with our company,
including the following considerations:

• from a historical perspective, the significant time and resources each of these directors has regularly dedicated to

our company;

• the nature of their board commitments relating to their respective roles with these companies;

• the synergies between their respective service on these other boards and ours;

• their respective service on “non-Liberty” public company board directorships; and

• the respective directors’ personal skills, expertise and qualifications (including the broad industry knowledge of

each such director).

QU RATE R ETA IL , INC.

CO R PORATE GOV E RNAN CE

We believe that the outside service of our directors does not conflict with, and instead enhances, their respective roles
and responsibilities at our company.

DIRECTOR CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS. The nominating and corporate governance committee will
consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder provided that such recommendations are properly
submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the
recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary, Qurate Retail, Inc., 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood,
Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under “The
Annual Meeting—Stockholder Proposals” above, and contain the following information:

• the name and address of the proposing stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination
is being made, and documentation indicating the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially and
of record by such person and the holder or holders of record of those shares, together with a statement that the
proposing stockholder is recommending a candidate for nomination as a director;

• the candidate’s name, age, business and residence addresses, principal occupation or employment, business

experience, educational background and any other information relevant in light of the factors considered by the
nominating and corporate governance committee in making a determination of a candidate’s qualifications, as
described below;

• a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding between the proposing stockholder and/or

beneficial owner(s), if different, and any other person(s) (including their names) under which the proposing stockholder
is making the nomination and any affiliates or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such
proposing stockholder(s) or beneficial owner (each a Proposing Person);

• a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding that might affect the independence of the

candidate as a member of our Board of Directors;

• any other information that would be required under SEC rules in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election

of such candidate as a director;

• a representation as to whether the Proposing Person intends (or is part of a group that intends) to deliver any proxy

materials or otherwise solicit proxies in support of the director nominee;

• a representation by each Proposing Person who is a holder of record of our common stock as to whether the

notice is being given on behalf of the holder of record and/or one or more beneficial owners, the number of shares
held by any beneficial owner along with evidence of such beneficial ownership and that such holder of record is
entitled to vote at the annual stockholders meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual
stockholders meeting at which the person named in such notice is to stand for election;

• a written consent of the candidate to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director, if nominated and

elected;

• a representation as to whether the Proposing Person has received any financial assistance, funding or other

consideration from any other person regarding the nomination (a Stockholder Associated Person) (including the
details of such assistance, funding or consideration); and

• a representation as to whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction has been

entered into with respect to our company within the last six months by, or is in effect with respect to, the Proposing
Person, any person to be nominated by the proposing stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect
or intent of which transaction is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase
or decrease the voting power of, the Proposing Person, its nominee, or any such Stockholder Associated Person.

In connection with its evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may request additional information
from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee has sole
discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors. The nominating and corporate governance
committee will evaluate a prospective nominee suggested by any stockholder in the same manner and against the same
criteria as any other prospective nominee identified by the nominating and corporate governance committee.

When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from
incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee,
the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be

2 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

CO RPO RATE GOV E RNAN CE

suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with
management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to
our Board of Directors, it may recommend to the full Board that candidate’s nomination and election.

Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and
corporate governance committee will consider the director’s past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the
Board of Directors and its committees and the director’s formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted
by the Board and the Board committees of which such individual is a member. In addition, the nominating and corporate
governance committee will consider any outside directorships held by such individual. See “Proposal 1—The Election of
Directors Proposal—Outside Commitments” above.

BOARD MEETINGS

During 2023, there were four meetings of our full Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL MEETINGS

Our Board of Directors encourages all members of the Board to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders. Seven
of our nine directors then-serving attended our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATION WITH DIRECTORS

Our stockholders may send communications to our Board of Directors or to individual directors by mail addressed to the
Board of Directors or to an individual director c/o Qurate Retail, Inc., 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112.
All such communications from stockholders will be forwarded to our directors on a timely basis. Stockholders are also
encouraged to send communications to Qurate Retail Investor Relations, which conducts robust stockholder engagement
efforts for our company and provides our Board with insight on stockholder concerns.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

Under the Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, the independent directors are required to meet in regularly scheduled

NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

DIRECTOR FEES

Each of our directors who is not an employee of, or service provider to, our company is paid an annual fee for 2024 of
$261,300 (which, in 2023, was $248,850) (which we refer to as the director fee). For service on the Board in 2023, $130,200
of the director fee was payable in QRTEA restricted stock units (RSUs), which were granted in December 2022 under
the 2020 incentive plan (defined below) and vested one year from the grant date, and the remaining $118,650 of the director
fee was paid in cash. Due to share availability considerations under the 2020 incentive plan, the entirety of the 2024
director fee will be paid in cash.

Fees for service on our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee
are the same for 2024 and 2023, with each member thereof receiving an additional annual fee of $30,000, $10,000 and
$10,000, respectively, for his or her participation on each such committee, except that the chairperson of each such
committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $40,000, $20,000 and $20,000, respectively, for his or her
participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are
payable quarterly in arrears.

CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

If a director makes a donation to our political action committee, we will make a matching donation to a charity of his or her
choice in an amount not to exceed $10,000.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the Qurate Retail, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2020
incentive plan) are administered by our Board of Directors or our compensation committee. Our Board of Directors has
full power and authority to grant nonemployee directors the awards described below and to determine the terms and
conditions under which any awards are made. The 2020 incentive plan is designed to provide our nonemployee directors with
additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our common stock and to aid in attracting
persons of exceptional ability to become nonemployee directors of our company. Our Board of Directors may grant
non-qualified stock options (stock options or options), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, RSUs and
cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2020 incentive plan.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2020
incentive plan is 47,748,121, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions. Under the 2020 incentive plan, no
nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value determined on the date of grant in
excess of $1 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2020 incentive plan are
made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our Board of Directors previously had adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally required each nonemployee
director to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of their annual cash retainer fees.
Nonemployee directors had five years from the director’s initial appointment to our Board to comply with these guidelines.
In December 2023, our Board of Directors eliminated these stock holding guidelines.

DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, directors of our company were eligible to participate in the Qurate Retail,
Inc. Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the director deferred compensation plan), pursuant to which
eligible directors of our company could elect to defer all or any portion of their annual cash fees that they would otherwise be
entitled to receive. The deferral of such annual cash fees was effected by a reduction in the quarterly payment of such
annual cash fees by the percentage specified in the director’s election. Elections were required to be made in advance of
certain deadlines, which generally were on or before the close of business on December 31 of the year prior to the year to
which the director’s election would apply, and elections included the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or
substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed ten years. Compensation deferred under the director deferred
compensation plan that otherwise would have been received prior to 2015 will earn interest income at the rate of 9% per
annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. Compensation deferred under the director deferred
compensation plan that otherwise would have been received on or after January 1, 2015 will earn interest income at a rate
that is intended to approximate our company’s general cost of 10-year debt. For 2021, 2022 and 2023, the rate was, and
is 6.5%, 6.5% and 9.125%, respectively.

Effective December 8, 2022, our Board of Directors amended and restated the director deferred compensation plan in
order to freeze the plan as of December 8, 2022, which closed the director deferred compensation plan to new participants
and provided that no deferrals or deferral elections could be made under the director deferred compensation plan with
respect to annual cash fees for services performed in any plan year commencing on or after January 1, 2023. Deferrals
made on or before December 31, 2022 will continue to accrue interest income at the rate specified above.

JOHN C. MALONE

Mr. Malone’s employment agreement (as amended) and his deferred compensation arrangements with us, as described
below, were assumed by Liberty Media’s predecessor and later Liberty Media. The term of Mr. Malone’s employment
agreement is extended daily so that the remainder of the employment term is five years. The employment agreement was
amended in June 1999 to provide for, among other things, an annual salary of $2,600 (which was increased to $3,900 in
2014), subject to increase with the approval of Liberty Media’s board of directors. The employment agreement was amended
in 2003 to provide for payment or reimbursement of personal expenses, including professional fees and other expenses
incurred by Mr. Malone for estate, tax planning and other services, and for personal use of corporate aircraft and flight crew.
The aggregate amount of such payments or reimbursements and the value of his personal use of corporate aircraft was
originally limited to $500,000 per year but increased to $1 million effective January 1, 2007 by our compensation committee.
Although the “Director Compensation Table” below reflects the portion of the aggregate incremental cost of Mr. Malone’s
personal use of our corporate aircraft attributable to our company, the value of his aircraft use for purposes of his employment
agreement is determined in accordance with the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL), which aggregated $71,604 for use
of the aircraft by our company and Liberty Media during the year ended December 31, 2023. A portion of the costs, calculated
in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, incurred with respect to Mr. Malone were allocated to our
company and reimbursed to Liberty Media under the services agreement (as defined and described below).

In December 2008, the compensation committee determined to modify Mr. Malone’s employment arrangements to permit
Mr. Malone to begin receiving fixed monthly payments in 2009, while he remains employed by Liberty Media, in satisfaction
of our obligations to him under a 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, a 1982 deferred compensation arrangement
and an installment severance plan, in each case, entered into with him by our predecessors (and which had been assumed
by our company). At the time of the amendment, the amounts owed to Mr. Malone under these arrangements aggregated
approximately $2.4 million, $20 million and $39 million, respectively. As a result of these modifications, Mr. Malone
receives 240 equal monthly installments, which commenced February 2009, of: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 1993
deferred compensation arrangement, (2) approximately $237,000 under the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement
and (3) approximately $164,000 under the installment severance plan. Interest ceased to accrue under the installment
severance plan once these payments began; however, interest continues to accrue on the 1993 deferred compensation
arrangement at a rate of 8% per annum and on the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 13% per annum.
Following certain termination events, Mr. Malone (or, in the event of Mr. Malone’s death, his beneficiaries) would be
entitled to receive the remaining payments under these arrangements, subject to certain conditions. In 2011 and 2013,
Liberty Media’s predecessor and Liberty Media, respectively, assumed all outstanding obligations under these deferred
compensation arrangements and the installment severance plan.

Under the terms of Mr. Malone’s employment agreement, he is entitled to receive upon the termination of his employment
for any reason (other than for death or “cause”), a lump sum equal to his salary for a period of five full years following
termination (calculated on the basis of $3,900 per annum, the lump sum severance payment).

As described above, Liberty Media assumed Mr. Malone’s employment agreement and all outstanding obligations
thereunder, and we will reimburse Liberty Media for our allocated portion of any such lump sum severance payments
made thereunder.

PRO POSAL 2— THE AUD ITOR S R AT I F I C AT IO N P RO P OS A L

Proposal 2—The Auditors Ratification
Proposal

What am I being
asked to vote on
and how should I
vote?

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as
our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2024.

Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our
Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different
independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit
committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event
our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee
will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the year ending
December 31, 2024.

A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be available to answer appropriate questions at the annual meeting and will
have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are
present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to
approve the auditors ratification proposal.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because KPMG LLP is an
independent firm with few ancillary services and reasonable fees, and has significant industry and
financial reporting expertise.

AUDIT FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of our consolidated
financial statements for 2023 and 2022 and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP:

Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services
provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our
independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services):

• audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services
associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with
securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal
controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions;

• audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of

employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of
transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of
our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general
assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and

• tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and

review services, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if, in the reasonable judgment of our Chief Accounting Officer and
Principal Financial Officer, an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is likely to result in fees in
excess of $100,000, or if individual projects under $100,000 are likely to equal or exceed $500,000 during the period
between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval
of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of
the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval.
M. Ian G. Gilchrist currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is
required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred
during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved
services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.

Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to
the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

All services provided by our independent auditor during 2023 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy in
place.

Audit Committee Report

Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our Board of Directors, based on the
listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC’s independence requirements for
members of audit committees. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Gilchrist is an “audit committee financial
expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors. Management has
primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and
for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity
of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent
auditor also expresses its opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated
financial statements, as well as management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting and KPMG LLP’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) and the SEC, including that firm’s judgment about the quality
of our accounting principles, as applied in its financial reporting.

KPMG LLP has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable
requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence,
and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP that firm’s independence from our company and its subsidiaries.

Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our
Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

PRO PO SAL 3— THE SAY-O N-PAY P ROP O SA L

Proposal 3—The Say-on-Pay Proposal

What am I being
asked to vote on
and how should I
vote?

We are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the
compensation of our named executive officers as described in this
proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation.”

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on an
advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as
described below in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act. This
advisory vote allows our stockholders to express their views on the overall
compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our company values the
views of our stockholders and is committed to the efficiency and
effectiveness of our company’s executive compensation program.

Our most recent advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers was held at our 2023 annual meeting
of stockholders on June 6, 2023 (the 2023 annual meeting), at which stockholders representing a majority of our
aggregate voting power present and entitled to vote on the say-on-pay proposal voted in favor of, on an advisory basis,
our executive compensation as disclosed in our proxy statement for our 2023 annual meeting. At our 2023 annual meeting,
stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every year and our Board of Directors adopted this as the frequency at
which future say-on-pay votes would be held. We expect that our next advisory vote on executive compensation will be held
in 2025.

We are seeking stockholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy
statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which include the disclosures under “Executive Compensation—
Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables (including all related footnotes) and any additional
narrative discussion of compensation included herein. Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Executive Compensation—
Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our company’s
executive compensation policies and procedures and how they were applied for 2023.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of
good corporate governance, our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at
the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Qurate Retail, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation
paid to our company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC,
including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any related narrative discussion.”

ADVISORY VOTE

Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our Board and our company, our Board and the compensation committee,
which are responsible for designing and administering our company’s executive compensation program, value the
opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when
making future compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

This advisory resolution, which we refer to as the say-on-pay proposal, will be considered approved if it receives the
affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present
in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because the compensation
structure is aligned with our ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives to increase
long-term stockholder value.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

COMPENSATION OVERVIEW

Our compensation committee of our Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and regularly
monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy. That philosophy seeks to align the interests of the named executive
officers with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives to increase
long-term stockholder value. To that end, the compensation packages provided to the named executive officers include
significant performance-based bonuses and significant equity incentive awards, including equity awards that vest
multiple years after initial grant and equity awards that are performance-based.

Our compensation committee seeks to approve a compensation package for each named executive officer that is
commensurate with the responsibilities and proven or expected performance of that executive and that is competitive

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

relative to the compensation packages paid to similarly situated executives in other companies. Our compensation
committee believes that our compensation packages should assist our company in attracting and retaining key executives
critical to our long-term success.

Our feedback from stockholders on this pay philosophy has been positive. At our 2023 annual stockholder meeting,
stockholders representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of Qurate Retail present and entitled to vote on our
say-on-pay proposal voted in favor of, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation disclosed in our proxy statement
for the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. No material changes were implemented to our executive compensation program
as a result of this vote. In addition, at the 2023 annual stockholder meeting, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay
vote every year and our Board of Directors adopted this as the frequency at which future say-on-pay votes would be held.
At the annual meeting, we are submitting for consideration a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, our executive
compensation. See “Proposal 3—The Say-On-Pay Proposal.”

SERVICES AGREEMENT

In September 2011, we entered into a services agreement with our former subsidiary (the services agreement), which
agreement was assumed in January 2013 by its former subsidiary, then-known as Liberty Spinco, Inc. (currently known as
Liberty Media). In December 2019, the services agreement was amended (the amended services agreement) in
connection with Liberty Media entering into a new five-year employment agreement with Mr. Maffei (the 2019 Maffei
Employment Agreement). Under the amended services agreement, our company establishes, and pays or grants directly
to Mr. Maffei, our allocable portion of his annual performance-based cash bonus, his annual equity-based awards and
his Upfront Awards (as defined below), and we reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of the other components
of Mr. Maffei’s compensation, which are described in more detail below in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—
Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Maffei Employment Agreement.” Under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei’s
compensation is allocated across Liberty Media, our company and each of Liberty Broadband, Liberty TripAdvisor and,
following its split-off from Liberty Media, Atlanta Braves Holdings (each a Service Company, or, collectively the Service
Companies) based on two factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each series of stock of each
company and (ii) the average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media employees across all companies
and (b) Mr. Maffei’s percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different allocation method is agreed.
Our allocable portion of Mr. Maffei’s annual compensation was 11% in 2023. Pursuant to the amended services agreement,
in 2023, we also reimbursed Liberty Media for the portion of the base salary and certain other compensation Liberty
Media paid to our employees that was allocable to us for estimated time spent by each such employee related to our
company. All of Mr. Rawlinson’s compensation was paid by QVC, and none of his time was allocated to Liberty Media
because Mr. Rawlinson did not provide any services to Liberty Media in 2023. The 2023 performance-based bonuses earned
by the named executive officers of our company were paid directly by our company. During 2023, the estimate of the
allocable percentages of time spent performing services for Liberty Media, on the one hand, and our company, on the
other hand, were reviewed quarterly by our audit committee for appropriateness. The salaries and certain perquisite
information included in the “Summary Compensation Table” below (other than with respect to Mr. Rawlinson, whose cash
compensation is paid directly by QVC) include the portion of the compensation allocable to our company and for which we
reimbursed Liberty Media and do not include the portion of the compensation allocable to Liberty Media or any of the
other Service Companies. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the weighted average percentage of each such
named executive officer’s time that was allocated to our company was: Mr. Wendling—22%; Mr. Rosenthaler—6%; and
Ms. Wilm—11%.

ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Prior to entering into the amended services agreement with Liberty Media in connection with the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement, our compensation committee engaged FW Cook, an independent and experienced compensation consultant,
to assist in determining the reasonableness of compensation to be allocated to our company under the amended services
agreement.

In order to assess the reasonableness of compensation, FW Cook evaluated the market value of Mr. Maffei’s role at our
company and the proposed allocation to our company under the service arrangement. Given the unique nature of Mr. Maffei’s
role at our company, FW Cook evaluated the market value of the executive job at our company through two different
lenses: Chairman of the Board and managing partner of a private equity firm.

4 0 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

In assessing the reasonableness of pay as Chairman of the Board, FW Cook and the compensation committee reviewed
pay data for companies comparable to ours, including companies in the retail industry, and companies with which we may
compete for executive talent and stockholder investment and also included companies in those industries that are similar
to our company in size, geographic location or complexity of operations. In assessing the reasonableness of pay as a
managing partner of a private equity firm, FW Cook and the compensation committee reviewed survey data regarding
the compensation of private equity professionals.

SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In making its compensation decision for each named executive officer, our compensation
committee considers the following:

• each element of the named executive officer’s compensation, including salary,

performance-based bonus, equity compensation, perquisites and other personal
benefits, and weights equity compensation most heavily;

Pay-Setting

• the financial performance of our company compared to internal forecasts and budgets;

• the scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities;

• the competitive nature of the compensation packages offered based on general industry
knowledge of the retail and commerce industries and periodic use of survey information
provided by Mercer and FW Cook; and

• the performance of the group reporting to the named executive officer.

In addition, when setting compensation, our compensation committee considers the recommendations obtained from
Mr. Maffei as to all elements of the compensation packages of Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling, and Rosenthaler and
Ms. Wilm. To make these recommendations, Mr. Maffei evaluates the performance and contributions of each such named
executive officer. He also considers whether the pay packages afforded to such named executive officers are competitive
and are aligned internally. He also evaluates the named executive officer’s performance against individual, department and
corporate goals.

In December 2019, our compensation committee approved the amended services agreement, which established the
terms and conditions of our allocable portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation for the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement. See “—Services Agreement” above. Prior to entering into the amended services agreement with Liberty Media,
our compensation committee reviewed information from FW Cook with respect to Chairman of the Board compensation
packages at comparable retailers and e-commerce companies.

In July 2021, our compensation committee approved a new employment agreement with Mr. Rawlinson running through
December 31, 2024 (the Rawlinson Employment Agreement) and granted equity awards in connection with the execution
of the Rawlinson Employment Agreement. Prior to our compensation committee’s approval of the Rawlinson Employment
Agreement, our compensation committee reviewed relevant comparable CEO cash and equity compensation components as
a reference point for the proposed new compensation arrangements and considered the recommendation of Mr. Maffei
with respect to Mr. Rawlinson’s annual compensation package, which had been structured giving consideration to components
of cash and equity compensation paid to CEOs of comparable retailers and e-commerce companies. Based on this
review, our compensation committee determined to confirm and approve the proposed arrangements. See “—Executive
Compensation Arrangements—David Rawlinson II” for a description of Mr. Rawlinson’s employment agreement.

ELEMENTS OF 2023 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

For 2023, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

• base salary;

• a performance-based bonus, payable in cash;

• performance-based restricted stock units; and

• perquisites and other limited personal benefits.

QU RATE R ETA IL , INC.

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

BASE SALARY

Our compensation committee believes base salary should be a relatively smaller portion of each named executive
officer’s overall compensation package, allowing for a greater portion to be performance based, thereby aligning the
interests of our executives more closely with those of our stockholders. The base salaries of the named executive officers
are reviewed on an annual basis (other than Mr. Maffei’s base salary, which is set by the terms of his employment
agreement), as well as at the time of any change in responsibilities. Typically, after establishing a named executive officer’s
base salary, salary increases are limited to cost-of-living adjustments, adjustments based on changes in the scope of the
named executive officer’s responsibilities, and adjustments to align the named executive officer’s salary level with those of
our other named executive officers.

After completion of the annual review in December 2022, the 2023 base salaries of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler
and Ms. Wilm were increased by 5%, 5% and 6%, respectively, reflecting a cost-of-living adjustment. For 2023, Mr. Maffei’s
salary remained at $3,000,000 as prescribed by the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and the portion of Mr. Maffei’s
salary allocated to our company was 11%, or $330,000. For 2023, Mr. Rawlinson’s base salary was $1,250,000 per the terms
of the Rawlinson Employment Agreement.

2023 PERFORMANCE-BASED BONUSES

Overview. For 2023, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of
Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. Mr. Rawlinson participated in a separate performance-based
bonus program, described under “—QVC Bonus Award” below. The 2023 bonus program was comprised of two components:
a bonus amount payable based on each participant’s individual performance (the Individual Performance Bonus) and
a bonus amount payable based on the corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media, Liberty TripAdvisor and
Liberty Broadband (the Corporate Performance Bonus).

Individual Performance Bonus
(60% weighting)

• Based on each named executive officers’

personal, department and corporate
related goals

• Named executive officer provided a

self-evaluation of their achievements, and
in the case of Messrs. Wendling and

provided an evaluation

• Compensation committee reviewed goals,

approving a specific payout for each
named executive officer

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei was assigned a target bonus opportunity under the
performance-based bonus program equal to $17 million in the aggregate for Liberty Media, our company and each of the
other Service Companies. For 2023, that bonus amount was split among, and payable directly by, our company, Liberty
Media, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor, with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance
metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee. In 2023, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate
target bonus amount allocated to our company was 11% or $1,870,000. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target
bonus amount allocated to each of Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor pursuant to the amended
services agreements were 61% (or $10,370,000), 23% (or $3,910,000) and 5% (or $850,000), respectively.

4 2 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm were assigned in March 2023 a maximum bonus opportunity
under the performance-based bonus program, which would be allocated to each of our company, Liberty Media, Liberty
Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor in the same percentage as the allocation for Mr. Maffei’s target bonus opportunity (the
Maximum Performance Bonus). The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to the Qurate Retail program
was $3,740,000, $143,204, $262,007 and $264,600 for Messrs. Maffei, Wendling, Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively
(the Qurate Retail Maximum Performance Bonus). The Qurate Retail Maximum Performance Bonus amounts are up
to 200% of Mr. Maffei’s target annual bonus allocated to our company under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and
our company’s allocable portion of up to 200% of base pay for each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm.
The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor was
$20,740,000, $7,820,000 and $1,700,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $794,133, $299,427 and $65,093, respectively, for
Mr. Wendling, $1,452,945, $547,832 and $119,094, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $1,467,327, $553,254 and
$120,273, respectively, for Ms. Wilm.

Following the split-off of Atlanta Braves Holdings from Liberty Media in July 2023, a portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate
target bonus amount and Messrs. Maffei’s, Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s Maximum Performance Bonus
previously allocated to Liberty Media was reallocated to Atlanta Braves Holdings. Following such reallocation, the portion of
Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to each of Liberty Media and Atlanta Braves Holdings was 54% (or
$9,180,000) and 7% (or $1,190,000), respectively, and the portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to each of
Liberty Media and Atlanta Braves Holdings was $18,360,000 and $2,380,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $703,003 and
$91,130, respectively for Mr. Wendling, $1,286,214 and $166,731, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $1,298,945 and
$168,382, respectively, for Ms. Wilm. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount and Messrs. Maffei’s,
Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to each of our company, Liberty
Broadband and Liberty TripAdvisor remained the same.

Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the Qurate Retail Maximum Individual Bonus)
equal to 60% of the Qurate Retail Maximum Performance Bonus for that participant. The Qurate Retail Maximum Individual
Bonus was subject to reduction based on a determination of the participant’s achievement of qualitative criteria established
with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of our company. Under the corollary programs
of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from Liberty Media and the other
Service Companies a maximum individual bonus equal to 60% of his or her Maximum Performance Bonus allocable to
Liberty Media and each other Service Company subject to reduction based on a determination of the participant’s
achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of
Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. Our compensation committee believes this construct was appropriate in
light of the amended services agreement and the fact that each participant splits his or her professional time and duties.

Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the Qurate Retail Maximum Corporate Bonus)
equal to 40% of his or her Qurate Retail Maximum Performance Bonus, of which 30% would be based on a determination
of the consolidated corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies and 10% would
be based on corporate-level achievements. Under the corollary programs of Liberty Media and the other Service
Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from Liberty Media and the other Service Companies a bonus that is
40% of each of Liberty Media’s and the other Service Companies’ allocable portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus,
which were based on a determination of the consolidated corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media and the
other Service Companies and a determination of corporate-level achievements.

In December 2023, our compensation committee, the Liberty Media compensation committee and the compensation
committees of the other Service Companies reviewed contemporaneously our respective named executive officers’
individual performance and consolidated corporate performance under each company’s program. Notwithstanding this joint
effort, our compensation committee retained sole and exclusive discretion with respect to the approval of award terms
and amounts payable under our bonus program.

Individual Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee reviewed the individual performance of each participant
to determine the reductions that would apply to each participant’s Qurate Retail Maximum Individual Bonus. Our
compensation committee took into account a variety of factors, without assigning a numerical weight to any single
performance measure. This determination was based on reports to our Board, the observations of committee members
throughout the year, executive self-evaluations and, with respect to the participants other than Mr. Maffei, the observations
and input of Mr. Maffei. In evaluating the performance of each of the participants for determining the reduction that
would apply to each named executive officer’s Qurate Retail Maximum Individual Bonus, the following performance
objectives related to our company which had been assigned to each participant for 2023 were considered:

Following a review of the participants’ performance and a review of the time allocated to matters for our company, our
compensation committee determined to pay each participant the following portion of his or her Qurate Retail Maximum

Corporate Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee then made a determination as to the portion, if any, that
would be payable to each participant for his or her Qurate Retail Maximum Corporate Bonus, a portion of which is attributable
to consolidated financial measures of the Operating Companies (as defined below) as a group and a portion of which is
attributable to corporate-level achievements. In making this determination, our compensation committee reviewed forecasts
of 2023 Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below), revenue and free cash flow (financial measures) for QVC, HSN, Inc.,
Cornerstone Brands, Inc., Sirius XM, Atlanta Braves Holdings, LLC, Formula 1, GCI Holdings, LLC and proportionate
shares of Live Nation, Charter and Tripadvisor (collectively, the Operating Companies), all of which forecasts were
prepared in December 2023 and are set forth in the table below. Also set forth in the table below are the corresponding
actual financial measures achieved for 2023, which deviated from our forecasts as indicated below. Although forecasted
revenue, Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow deviated from the actual result, none of the deviations would have materially
affected the amounts paid under the Corporate Performance Bonus portion of the program.

For purposes of the bonus program, Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, transaction related costs (including
acquisition, restructuring, integration, and advisory fees), impairments and fire related costs. Sirius XM, Live Nation, Charter,
and Tripadvisor do not report Adjusted OIBDA information. As a result, in order to determine their financial results, we
used the most similar non-GAAP measures reported by each of these companies. We used Adjusted EBITDA as reported
by Sirius XM, Charter, and Tripadvisor and Adjusted Operating Income, or AOI, as reported by Live Nation. For a definition
of Adjusted EBITDA as defined by Sirius XM, see Sirius XM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023, filed on February 1, 2024. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as defined by Charter, see Charter’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on February 2, 2024. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA as
defined by Tripadvisor, see Tripadvisor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on
February 16, 2024. For a definition of AOI as defined by Live Nation, see Live Nation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on February 22, 2024.

to 10% if forecasted financial measures were less than or greater than budgeted financial measures. Our compensation
committee then translated the achievement of these financial measures into a percentage payable (20% of a possible 30%,
or 67%) to each participant of his or her Qurate Retail Maximum Corporate Bonus related to financial measures, as

Our compensation committee then noted that, when combined with the total 2023 performance-based bonus amounts
paid by Liberty Media and the other Service Companies to the overlapping named executive officers, Messrs. Maffei,
Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm received $26,090,750, $1,012,195, $1,851,911 and $2,050,650, respectively. For
more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below.

QVC Bonus Award.

Mr. Rawlinson’s 2023 performance-based bonus was structured to align with the 2023 performance-based bonus program
established at QVC for QVC senior global officers. Pursuant to the program, Mr. Rawlinson was paid a cash bonus based
50% upon 2023 Revenue and 50% upon 2023 Adjusted OIBDA (in each case for QVC, HSN, Inc. and Cornerstone Brands,
Inc.) performance on a constant currency basis. His target bonus amount was 125% of his base salary and his maximum
bonus amount was 200% of his base salary, as required by the terms of his employment agreement.

For any bonus to be paid, 2023 Revenue would need to equal or exceed $11,362.95 million (as adjusted to exclude Zulily
following its sale, $10,485.15 million) or 2023 Adjusted OIBDA would need to equal or exceed $1,017.45 million (as adjusted
to exclude Zulily following its sale, $1,065.9 million). 2023 Revenue was $10,655 million and 2023 Adjusted OIBDA was
$1,148 million, each of which exceeded the relevant threshold for receiving a bonus payment. As a result, Mr. Rawlinson
received 65% of the portion of his target bonus attributable to 2023 Revenue, or $510,853, and 72% of the portion of his
target bonus attributable to 2023 Adjusted OIBDA, or $561,121. In the aggregate, Mr. Rawlinson’s 2023 performance-
based bonus equaled $1,071,974, or 85% of his base salary.

EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The 2020 incentive plan provides, and the Qurate Retail, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2016
incentive plan), before its replacement by the 2020 incentive plan, and the Liberty Interactive Corporation 2012 Incentive
Plan (the Qurate Retail, Inc. 2012 Incentive Plan) (as amended), before its expiration, provided, for the grant of a
variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, RSUs, SARs and performance awards. Subject to
share availability considerations, our compensation committee has a preference for grants of stock-based incentive awards
(RSUs, restricted stock and options) as compared with cash incentive awards based on the belief that they better promote
retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. It is the policy of our
compensation committee that stock options be awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of
grant, typically measured by reference to the closing price on the grant date.

In consultation with the compensation committees of each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies (except for
the compensation committee of Atlanta Braves Holdings because such decisions were made prior to its split-off from Liberty
Media), our compensation committee determined that each of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service
Companies (except for Atlanta Braves Holdings for the reason described above) would grant a proportionate share of the
aggregate equity grant value to each named executive officer other than Mr. Rawlinson, who receives equity awards from our
company only, for their service to our company and each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. With
respect to the awards made to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, the proportionate share for each company
was determined based 50% on relative market capitalization and 50% on relative time spent by Liberty Media’s employees
working for such issuer. With respect to awards made to Mr. Maffei, the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides
that Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award value will be granted across Liberty Media and the Service Companies by
Liberty Media’s compensation committee, our compensation committee and the compensation committees of Liberty
TripAdvisor and Liberty Broadband based on two factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each
series of stock of each company and (ii) the average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media
employees across all companies and (b) Mr. Maffei’s percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different
allocation method is agreed.

Annual Equity Awards

Maffei Annual Equity Awards. The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides Mr. Maffei with the opportunity to earn
annual equity awards during the employment term. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Annual Awards” for additional information about the annual awards provided under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement.

When structuring the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, to further align Mr. Maffei’s interests with those of the other
stockholders, the compensation committee structured his annual equity award grants as either option awards or performance-
based restricted stock units with meaningful payout metrics determined annually. This structure was designed to provide

QU RATE R ETA IL , INC.

/ 47

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

for alignment of interests with our company’s stockholders and flexibility to the compensation committee to incent
achievement of strategic objectives that may change or evolve over the term of the agreement.

The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provided that Mr. Maffei was entitled to receive from our company, Liberty Media
and the other Service Companies in 2023 (except for Atlanta Braves Holdings, because such grant occurred prior to its split-
off from Liberty Media) a combined target equity award value of $17.5 million comprised of time-vested stock options,
performance-based restricted stock units or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election. In 2023, our
compensation committee granted performance-based RSUs to Mr. Maffei in satisfaction of our obligations under the 2019
Maffei Employment Agreement for 11% of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award value for 2023, or $1,925,000.
Our compensation committee believed that Mr. Maffei’s RSU grants should be subject to performance metrics that
incentivize and reward Mr. Maffei for successful completion of our company’s strategic initiatives.

As a result, our compensation committee granted to Mr. Maffei 352,564 performance-based RSUs with respect to QRTEB
shares (the 2023 Maffei RSUs). Our compensation committee granted to Mr. Maffei the 2023 Maffei RSUs on March 3,
2023, which would vest only upon attainment of the performance objectives described below.

Our compensation committee reviewed the financial performance of our company along with the personal performance of
Mr. Maffei. Based on the compensation committee’s assessment of his individual performance against the goals
established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and general observation of his leadership and
executive performance, our compensation committee approved vesting of all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs previously granted
to Mr. Maffei.

For more information regarding Mr. Maffei’s equity awards as provided in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, see
the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below and “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—
Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual
Equity Awards” in Liberty Media’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of
stockholders; “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive

Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Liberty Broadband’s Definitive Proxy
Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Chief Performance-based RSU Awards. Our compensation committee granted 45,269, 81,776 and 81,776 QRTEA
annual performance-based RSUs to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively, on March 3, 2023
(collectively, the 2023 Chief RSUs), which would vest subject to the satisfaction of the performance objectives described
below.

Our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based program for payment of the 2023 Chief RSUs and
reviewed each named executive officer’s performance against that performance program to determine what portion of the
award would be paid. Our compensation committee reviewed the 2023 personal performance of Messrs. Wendling and
Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and considered the recommendations from Mr. Maffei. Mr. Maffei recommended that our
committee vest 100% of the 2023 Chief RSUs based on his assessment of their individual performance against the goals
established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and his general observation of their leadership and
executive performance. Accordingly, our compensation committee approved vesting in full of the 2023 Chief RSUs previously
granted to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm.

QVC CEO RSUs.

Pursuant to the Rawlinson Employment Agreement, Mr. Rawlinson is eligible for an annual $4 million grant of performance-
based RSUs with respect to QRTEA stock. Accordingly, our compensation committee granted to Mr. Rawlinson 1,869,159
QRTEA performance-based RSUs on March 3, 2023 (the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs), which would vest subject to the
satisfaction of the performance objectives described below.

Our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based program for payment of the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs.
As set forth in the Rawlinson Employment Agreement, the number of 2023 Rawlinson RSUs that would vest was based
60% on objective performance criteria and 40% on subjective performance criteria. Regarding the objective portion of the
performance-based RSUs, none of the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs would vest unless 2023 Adjusted OIBDA equaled or exceeded
$1,017.45 million (as adjusted to exclude Zulily following its sale, $1,065.9 million). For purposes of the 2023 Rawlinson

4 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

RSUs, 2023 Adjusted OIBDA was defined in the same manner as the cash performance bonus program for Mr. Rawlinson.
See “—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—2023 Performance-based Bonuses—QVC Bonus Award” above.

After review of our company’s 2023 Adjusted OIBDA results, our compensation committee determined and certified that
70% of the amount of 2023 Rawlinson RSUs related to objective performance criteria could be paid to Mr. Rawlinson. In
addition, our compensation committee reviewed the personal performance self-evaluation of Mr. Rawlinson and adopted the
recommendation of Mr. Maffei as to the payout of the subjective portion of the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs. Mr. Maffei
recommended 100% payout of the amount of 2023 Rawlinson RSUs related to subjective performance criteria. Based on
the combined subjective and objective performance criteria, our compensation committee determined to vest 82% of the
2023 Rawlinson RSUs, or 1,532,711 RSUs.

Multiyear Equity Awards

Maffei Restricted Share Award. In June 2021, pursuant to the Waiver Letter and Amendment of 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement dated June 3, 2021 between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei (the Letter Agreement), Mr. Maffei received a
grant of 1,101,321 QRTEB restricted shares, which vest in two equal tranches on December 10, 2024 and the fifth
anniversary of the grant date (the 2021 Maffei Restricted Share Award). See “Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions—Waiver Letter and Amendment of 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement,” and the “Outstanding Equity Awards
at Fiscal Year-End” table below for more information on the 2021 Maffei Restricted Share Award.

Chief Multiyear Awards. In the past, our compensation committee has made larger stock option grants (equaling
approximately three to four years’ value of the named executive officer’s annual grants) that vest between two and four years
after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multiyear grants provided for delayed vesting
and generally expired seven years after grant to encourage executives to remain with our company over the long-term and
to better align their interests with those of the stockholders.

Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm each received a multiyear stock option award in December 2020, which
equaled, for Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler, the value of the annual grants that were expected to be granted to
each for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and for Ms. Wilm, a top up in value over grants
already made for the same period to reflect the increased responsibilities associated with her new role beginning in 2021
of Chief Administrative Officer. One-half of each named executive officer’s options vested on each of December 10, 2022
and December 10, 2023.

Our company did not grant Mr. Wendling or Ms. Wilm multiyear options in 2023. As part of Liberty Media’s December 2023
multiyear awards, Liberty Media granted to each of Mr. Wendling and Ms. Wilm a multiyear stock option award and a
multiyear RSU award, in each case, with respect to Liberty Media common stock. Our company will reimburse Liberty
Media for a portion of the grant date fair value of Mr. Wendling’s and Ms. Wilm’s awards (approximately $333,832 and
$651,380, respectively), which reimbursements have been and will be paid quarterly over 2024. For more information
regarding the multiyear stock option awards and multiyear RSU awards Liberty Media granted to Mr. Wendling and Ms. Wilm,
see the “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—
Equity Incentive Compensation—Multiyear Equity Awards—Chief Multiyear Awards” in Liberty Media’s Definitive Proxy
Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. Due to the timing of these grants and
Mr. Rosenthaler’s retirement, Mr. Rosenthaler was not granted multiyear awards.

QVC CEO Multiyear Awards. In line with the philosophy described in “—Chief Multiyear Awards” above, in connection
with entering into, and pursuant to the terms of, the Rawlinson Employment Agreement, Mr. Rawlinson was entitled to two
upfront equity awards. In August 2021, Mr. Rawlinson received a grant of options to purchase 1,185,053 QRTEA shares
with an exercise price of $10.50, of which 50% vested on December 31, 2023 and 50% will vest on December 31, 2024 (the
2021 Rawlinson Term Options). Such options expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Also in August 2021,
Mr. Rawlinson received a grant of 508,865 QRTEA RSUs, of which 13% vested on December 10, 2021, 29% vested on each
of December 10, 2022 and December 10, 2023 and 29% will vest on December 10, 2024 (the 2021 Rawlinson Term
RSUs). See the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table below for more information about the 2021 Rawlinson
Term Options and 2021 Rawlinson Term RSUs.

PERQUISITES AND OTHER PERSONAL BENEFITS

The perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executives (that are not otherwise available to all of our
salaried employees) consist of:

• limited personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft (pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between

our company and Liberty Media);

• in the case of Mr. Rawlinson, payment of legal expenses pertaining to his employment arrangement; and

• occasional, personal use of Liberty Media’s apartment in New York City (pursuant to a sharing arrangement

between our company and Liberty Media), which is primarily used for business purposes, and occasional, personal
use of a company car and driver.

Taxable income may be incurred by our executives in connection with their receipt of perquisites and personal benefits.
We have not provided gross-up payments to our executives in connection with any such taxable income incurred during the
past three years.

Aircraft Usage. On occasion, and with the appropriate approvals, executives may have family members and other guests
accompany them on Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft when traveling on business. Under the terms of the employment
arrangements with our Chairman, our Chairman and his guests may use the corporate aircraft we share with Liberty Media
for non-business purposes subject to specified limitations.

Pursuant to a February 5, 2013 letter agreement between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours
per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued
right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the
time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. During 2023, pursuant to
November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was
entitled to 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time if he reimbursed Liberty Media for such usage through the
first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. If
Mr. Maffei’s employment is terminated due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to
continued use of the corporate aircraft for 12 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable
income, calculated in accordance with the SIFL rates, for all personal use of the corporate aircraft under the February 5,
2013 letter agreement. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income at the SIFL rates minus amounts paid under time sharing agreements
with Liberty Media for travel. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against
the 120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a
NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of
budgeted hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight
cost as compared to the cost of using company-owned aircraft.

For disclosure purposes, we determine the aggregate incremental cost to our company of the executives’ personal flights
by using a method that takes into account all operating costs related to such flights, including:

• landing and parking expenses;

• crew travel expenses;

• supplies and catering;

• aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight;

• aircraft maintenance and upkeep;

• any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and

• passenger ground transportation.

Because our company’s aircraft is used primarily for business travel, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not
change based on usage, such as salaries of pilots and crew, and purchase or lease costs of aircraft.

Pursuant to our aircraft time sharing agreements with Liberty Media, we pay Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in
accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using Liberty Media’s corporate
aircraft for our company’s business matters along with the approved personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft that

5 0 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

are allocable to our company. Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei,
Mr. Maffei was responsible for reimbursing Liberty Media for costs associated with his 50 additional hours per year of
personal flight time and such costs include the expenses listed above, insurance obtained for the specific flight and an
additional charge equal to 100% of the aircraft fuel and oil expenses for the specific flight.

For purposes of determining an executive’s taxable income, personal use of Liberty Media’s aircraft is valued using a
method based on SIFL rates, as published by the Treasury Department. The amount determined using the SIFL rates is
typically lower than the amount determined using the incremental cost method. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004, the amount we may deduct for U.S. federal income tax purposes for a purely personal flight is limited to the amount
included in the taxable income of the executives who took the flight. Also, the deductibility of any non-business use will
be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent that the named executive officer’s compensation that is subject to
that limitation exceeds $1 million. See “—Deductibility of Executive Compensation” below.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In developing the 2023 compensation packages for the named executive officers, the deductibility of executive
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code is considered. That provision prohibits the deduction of compensation of
more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. Following the enactment of the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act of 2017, beginning with the 2018 calendar year, the executives potentially affected by the limitations of
Section 162(m) of the Code have been expanded and there is no longer any exception for qualified performance-based
compensation. Therefore, portions of the compensation we pay to the named executive officers may not be deductible due
to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation committee believes that the lost deduction on
compensation payable in excess of the $1 million limitation for the named executive officers is not material relative to the
benefit of being able to attract and retain talented management.

RECOUPMENT PROVISIONS

In August 2023, the Board of Directors approved a policy for the recovery or erroneously awarded compensation, or
“clawback” policy, applicable to executive officers. The policy implements the incentive-based compensation recovery
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as required under the Nasdaq listing
standards, and requires recovery of incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers
during the three fiscal years preceding the date it is determined that our company is required to prepare an accounting
restatement, including to correct an error that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the
current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The amount required to be recovered is the excess of the amount
of incentive-based compensation received over the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined
based on the restated financial measure. In addition, our company has maintained its recoupment provisions whereby
our company may require an executive to repay or return to our company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation
(including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or SARs). That right will arise if
(1) a material restatement of any of our financial statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of our
compensation committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement
under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In
determining the amount of such repayment or return, our compensation committee may take into account, among other
factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected
by the errors giving rise to the restatement. Under these recoupment provisions, the cash, stock or other compensation
that we may require the executive to repay or return must have been received by the executive during the 12-month period
beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the SEC, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial
statement requiring restatement, and the compensation required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or company
stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise during that 12-month period of any stock appreciation right held by
the executive or (B) upon the payment during that 12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is
determined by reference to the value of company stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the
disposition during that 12-month period of company stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment
during that 12-month period of any award of equity-based incentive compensation. Additionally, beginning in December 2020,
we began including in new forms of equity-based award agreements a right, in favor of our company, to require the
executive to repay or return to our company, upon a reasonable determination by our compensation committee that the
executive breached the confidentiality obligations included in the agreement, all or any portion of the outstanding award,

any shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach and
any proceeds from the disposition of shares received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach
or any time after such breach.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES AND HEDGING POLICIES

Our Board of Directors previously had adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally required our executive officers to
own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of the annual performance RSUs granted by
our company to such executive officer. Our executive officers had five years from the date of their appointment to an
executive officer role to comply with these guidelines. In December 2023, our Board of Directors eliminated these stock
holding guidelines. For information regarding our policies with respect to the ability of our officers and directors to hedge
or offset any decrease in the market value of our equity securities, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management—Hedging Disclosure.”

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

GREGORY B. MAFFEI

2019 Maffei Employment Agreement

Liberty Media entered into the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement with Mr. Maffei, effective December 13, 2019. The
arrangement provides for a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2024, with
an annual base salary of $3 million (with no contracted increase) and a one-time cash commitment bonus of $5 million paid
in 2019, an annual target cash performance bonus equal to $17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one
or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee with respect to its
allocable portion), upfront equity awards (with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million to be granted in two
equal tranches) and annual equity awards with an aggregate target grant date fair value of $17.5 million.

Maffei Term Equity Awards

On December 13, 2019, in connection with the execution of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei became
entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million (the Upfront Awards) to be
granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche consisted of time-vested stock options from each of our company,
Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from Liberty TripAdvisor that
vested, in each case, on December 31, 2023 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which
vested on December 15, 2023). Qurate Retail’s portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2019 consisted of
stock options to purchase 2,133,697 QRTEA shares, with a term of seven years.

The second tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2020 and consisted of time-vested stock options
from each of our company, Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from
Liberty TripAdvisor. The Upfront Awards granted in December 2020 will vest, in each case, on December 31, 2024 (except
Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vests on December 7, 2024), subject to Mr. Maffei’s
continued employment, except as described below. Qurate Retail’s portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2020
consisted of stock options to purchase 1,190,529 QRTEA shares, with a term of seven years (the 2020 Maffei Term
Options).

Annual Awards

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, the aggregate grant date fair value of Mr. Maffei’s annual equity
awards is $17.5 million for each year during the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and is comprised of awards
of time-vested stock options (the Annual Options), performance-based restricted stock units (Annual Performance
RSUs) or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election, allocable across our company, Liberty Media and each of
the other Service Companies (collectively, the Annual Awards). Vesting of any Annual Performance RSUs will be
subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics to be approved by our compensation committee and the
compensation committee of Liberty Media or the applicable Service Company with respect to its allocable portion of the
Annual Performance RSUs. For a description of Mr. Maffei’s Annual Awards, see “—Compensation Discussion and
Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei
Annual Equity Awards.”

Aircraft Usage

Pursuant to a February 5, 2013 letter agreement between Mr. Maffei and Liberty Media, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours
per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, subject to any continued
right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment arrangement in effect at the
time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. During 2023, pursuant to the
November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was
entitled to 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time if he reimbursed us for such usage through the first to occur
of (i) the termination of his employment or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. If Mr. Maffei’s
employment is terminated due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to continued use
of the company’s aircraft for 12 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated
in accordance with the SIFL value, for all personal use of corporate aircraft under the February 5, 2013 letter agreement.

5 6 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income at the SIFL rates minus amounts paid under time sharing agreements with Liberty
Media. Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between Liberty Media and Qurate Retail, we pay Liberty Media for
any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91 of the Federal Aviation regulations associated with Mr. Maffei using the
corporate aircraft that are allocable to us. We reimburse Liberty Media for Mr. Maffei’s use of the corporate aircraft for our
business, and we also reimburse Liberty Media for Mr. Maffei’s personal use of the corporate aircraft. Pursuant to the
aircraft time sharing agreements between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei reimburses Liberty Media for costs
associated with his up to 50 hours of personal use of the corporate aircraft under the November 11, 2015 and December 13,
2019 letter agreements. Flights where there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the
120 hours of personal flight time per year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets,
Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed personal flight would be disadvantageous to Liberty Media due to (i) use of budgeted
hours under the then current Liberty Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as
compared to the cost of using company owned aircraft.

Termination Payments and Benefits

Mr. Maffei will be entitled to the following payments and benefits from Liberty Media (with Liberty Media being reimbursed
by our company for its allocated portion of the severance benefits pursuant to the amended services agreement) if his
employment is terminated at Liberty Media under the circumstances described below, subject to the execution of releases
by Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei in a form to be mutually agreed. The following discussion also summarizes the termination
payments and benefits that Mr. Maffei would be entitled to if his services are terminated at our company under the
scenarios described below.

Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is
terminated by Liberty Media without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Maffei terminates
his employment for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and as amended pursuant to the
Letter Agreement), he is entitled to the following: (i) his accrued base salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior
completed year, any unpaid expense reimbursements and any amounts due under applicable law; and (ii) subject to the
execution of a mutual release, (A) a severance payment of two times his base salary during the year of his termination to
be paid in equal installments over 24 months; (B) fully vested shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million
consisting of shares of the applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband, Liberty TripAdvisor,
Atlanta Braves Holdings and us; (C) full vesting of his unvested Upfront Awards and full vesting of the Annual Awards for
the year in which the termination occurs (including the grant and full vesting of such Annual Award if the termination occurs
before they have been granted); (D) lump sum cash payment of two times the average annual cash performance bonus
paid for the two calendar years ending prior to the termination, but in no event less than two times his target annual cash
performance bonus of $17 million, with (subject to certain exceptions) up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of the
applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband, Liberty TripAdvisor, Atlanta Braves Holdings
and us; (E) a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of (x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus
otherwise payable for the year of termination, in each case, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within
the year of termination (including the date of termination), with (subject to certain exceptions) up to 25% of such amount
payable in shares of the applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media, Liberty Broadband, Liberty TripAdvisor and
us; and (F) continued use for 12 months after such termination of certain services and perquisites provided by Liberty
Media, including continued use of Liberty’s aircraft (collectively, the severance benefits).

On June 3, 2021, our Company and Liberty Media entered into the Letter Agreement with Mr. Maffei pursuant to which
Mr. Maffei waived his right to assert that the Specified Events (as defined below) would constitute a change in control (as
defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement),
with respect to our company, and agreed not to terminate his employment with our company for good reason in connection
with or arising out of the Option Cancellation (as defined below) or any of the Specified Events.

Termination at our Company by our Company without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei’s
services at our company are terminated by us without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by
Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and as amended pursuant to the
Letter Agreement), he will be entitled to full vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term Options and the portion of the Annual Awards
granted by us for the year of his termination, and if Mr. Maffei remains employed by Liberty Media at or following the
date of termination of his services to our company, he will also be entitled to payment of our allocated portion of the annual
cash performance bonus for the year, prorated for the portion of the calendar year in which Mr. Maffei served as an
officer of our company. Other than as described above, no severance benefits will be due to Mr. Maffei if he remains
employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company.

QU RATE R ETA IL , INC.

/ 57

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. In the event of Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he will be entitled to the
same payments and benefits as if his services had been terminated without cause or for good reason as described in
“—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason.”

For Cause Termination at our Company. In the event Mr. Maffei’s services to our company are terminated by us for
cause, he will forfeit the 2020 Maffei Term Options, and if the termination for cause occurs before the close of business
on December 31 of the relevant grant year, Mr. Maffei will forfeit our allocated portion of the annual cash performance bonus
and the portion of his Annual Awards granted by our company for that grant year. If Mr. Maffei’s services are terminated
by our company for cause after the close of business on December 31 of the relevant grant year, but prior to the date on
which our compensation committee certifies achievement of the performance metric for any outstanding Annual Performance
RSUs granted by our company for that grant year, the award will remain outstanding until such date and will vest to the
extent determined by our compensation committee.

Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei voluntarily terminates the services he
provides to us without good reason, he will be entitled to pro rata vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term Options (based on the
number of days that have elapsed over the four-year vesting period), pro rata vesting of the portion of his Annual Awards for
the year of termination granted by us (based on the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) and a
pro rata payment of our allocated portion of his annual cash performance bonus of $17 million (based upon the elapsed
number of days in the calendar year of termination). Any Annual Performance RSUs granted by our company for the year
of termination that are unvested on the date of termination will remain outstanding until the performance criteria is
determined and will vest pro rata (based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) to the
extent determined by our compensation committee (at a level not less than 100% of the target award). Other than as
described above, no severance benefits will be due to Mr. Maffei if he remains employed by Liberty Media at or following
the date of termination of his services to us. If Mr. Maffei also voluntarily terminates his employment with Liberty Media,
rather than being entitled to payment of our allocated portion of his annual cash bonus, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to
receive a payment from Liberty Media equal to $17 million, prorated based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar
year of termination. Our company would reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of this payment.

DAVID RAWLINSON II

Rawlinson Employment Agreement

We entered into the Rawlinson Employment Agreement with David Rawlinson II, effective July 12, 2021. The arrangement

vested stock options that vested 50% on December 31, 2023 and will vest 50% on December 31, 2024 subject to
Mr. Rawlinson’s continued employment, except as described below. These stock options provide Mr. Rawlinson with the

stock units, of which 13% vested on December 10, 2021, 29% vested on each of December 10, 2022 and December 10,
2023 and 29% will vest on December 10, 2024 subject to Mr. Rawlinson’s continued employment, except as described below.

Agreement (the Rawlinson annual performance RSUs). Vesting of any Rawlinson annual performance RSUs will be
subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics to be approved by our compensation committee. For
additional information on the Rawlinson annual performance RSUs received in 2023, see “—Compensation Discussion and
Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—QVC
CEO RSUs” above.

Termination Payments and Benefits

Upon a termination of Mr. Rawlinson’s employment for any reason, he will be entitled to his accrued base salary and any
accrued vacation through the date of termination, any unpaid expense reimbursements, any vested benefits owed in
accordance with other applicable plans, programs and arrangements and any amounts due under applicable law (the
standard entitlements). Subject to Mr. Rawlinson’s execution of a release in our favor with the procedures set forth in the
Rawlinson Employment Agreement and his compliance with restrictive covenants, including perpetual confidentiality
provisions, non-competition and non-interference provisions for 18 months following the termination of his employment
and non-solicitation of employees provisions for 2 years following the termination of his employment, Mr. Rawlinson will also
be entitled to the following payments and benefits if his employment is terminated under the circumstances described
below.

Termination without Cause or for Good Reason

If Mr. Rawlinson’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Rawlinson Employment Agreement) or if
Mr. Rawlinson terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the Rawlinson Employment Agreement), in addition
to the standard entitlements, Mr. Rawlinson will be entitled to (i) a severance payment of one-and-a-half times the sum of
his base salary and his target annual performance bonus, to be paid in equal installments over 24 months and (ii) any
awarded but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which his termination occurs. Any unvested Rawlinson
term awards will vest pro rata on a tranche-by-tranche basis based on the number of days that have elapsed from August 1,
2021 through his termination date, plus 365 days, and the stock option portion of the awards will remain exercisable for
90 days following termination. The Rawlinson annual performance RSUs relating to the year in which Mr. Rawlinson’s
termination occurs will vest to the extent our compensation committee determines that the performance criteria were met,
and Mr. Rawlinson will receive a pro rata portion thereof based on the number of days he was employed during the year
of his termination. If Mr. Rawlinson’s employment is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment for good
reason 12 months following an approved transaction (as defined in the 2020 incentive plan), any unvested Rawlinson
term awards and Rawlinson annual performance RSUs will vest in in full.

Termination by Reason of Death or Disability

In the event of Mr. Rawlinson’s death or disability, in addition to the standard entitlements, Mr. Rawlinson (or in the event of
his death, his designated beneficiary or estate) will be entitled to receive (i) continued payment of his base salary for one
year and (ii) any awarded but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which his termination occurs. In addition,
any unvested Rawlinson term awards and Rawlinson annual performance RSUs will vest in in full. The stock option
portion of Mr. Rawlinson’s term awards will remain exercisable for a one-year period.

Termination At or Following the Term of the Rawlinson Employment Agreement

If Mr. Rawlinson’s employment is terminated at or following the expiration of the term of the Rawlinson Employment
Agreement, in addition to the standard entitlements, Mr. Rawlinson will receive any awarded but unpaid bonus for the
calendar year prior to the year in which his termination occurs. If his employment ends on December 31, 2024, he will also
be eligible to receive his 2024 annual cash performance bonus and his 2024 Rawlinson annual performance RSUs will
continue to vest, in each case, as if he had remained employed through the certification date and the stock option portion
of the Rawlinson term awards will remain exercisable for 90 days.

Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination without Good Reason

The Rawlinson Employment Agreement provides that, in the event Mr. Rawlinson is terminated for cause (as defined in
the Rawlinson Employment Agreement) or Mr. Rawlinson terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in

QU RATE R ETA IL , INC.

/ 59

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

the Rawlinson Employment Agreement), he will be entitled only to the standard entitlements. In each case, Mr. Rawlinson
will forfeit all rights to his unvested Rawlinson term awards and any unvested Rawlinson annual performance RSUs. If
Mr. Rawlinson’s employment is terminated for cause, he will forfeit any vested stock options granted as part of the
Rawlinson term awards. If Mr. Rawlinson terminates his employment without good reason, any vested stock options
granted as part of the Rawlinson term awards will remain exercisable for 90 days and he will be entitled to any awarded
but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which his termination occurs.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The 2020 incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors with regard to all
awards granted under the 2020 incentive plan (other than awards granted to the nonemployee directors), and the
compensation committee has full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions of such awards. The 2020
incentive plan is administered by the full Board of Directors with regard to all awards granted under the 2020 incentive plan
to nonemployee directors, and the full Board of Directors has full power and authority to determine the terms and conditions
of such awards. The 2020 incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to officers, employees,
nonemployee directors and independent contractors for service to our company and to encourage those persons’ investment
in our company. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance
awards or any combination of the foregoing (collectively, incentive plan awards) may be granted under the 2020 incentive
plan.

As of December 31, 2023, (i) the maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which incentive plan
awards may be issued under the 2020 incentive plan is 47,748,121 subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions
of the 2020 incentive plan and (ii) no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year incentive plan
awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $1 million. Shares of our common
stock issuable pursuant to incentive plan awards made under the existing incentive plans are made available from either
authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

PAY RATIO INFORMATION

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees
and the total compensation of Mr. Rawlinson, our chief executive officer on December 31, 2023, pursuant to the SEC’s
pay ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We believe our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate
calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules. However, because these rules provide flexibility
in determining the methodology, assumptions and estimates used to determine pay ratios and the fact that workforce
composition issues differ significantly between companies, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported
by other companies.

To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of December 31, 2023, which consisted
of employees located in the U.S., China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland and the United Kingdom, representing all full-
time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees employed by our company and our consolidated subsidiaries, QVC,
Cornerstone Brands, Inc. and HSN, Inc., on that date. As is typical for a retail company, a significant portion of our employee
population works in call centers, warehouses and distribution centers operated by our subsidiaries. Using information
from our payroll records and Form W-2s (or its equivalent for non-U.S. employees), we then measured each employee’s
gross wages for calendar year 2023, consisting of base salary, commissions, actual bonus payments, long-term incentive
cash payments, if any, realized equity award value and taxable fringe benefits. We did not annualize the compensation
of employees who were new hires or took a leave of absence in 2023. Also, we did not annualize the compensation of our
temporary or seasonal employees. In addition, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to the gross wages
information.

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined the median employee’s total compensation, including any
perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our named executive
officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above.

The ratio of our chief executive officer’s total annual compensation to that of the median employee was as follows:

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN
CONTROL

The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment had terminated
or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2023, which was the last day of our last completed
fiscal year. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei’s employment had terminated at each of
Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and the other Service Companies. In the event of such a termination or change in control, the
actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these
arrangements from time to time.

The amounts provided in the table are based on the closing market prices on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day in
2023) for our QRTEA common stock, which was $0.88, and QRTEB common stock, which was $6.54. All outstanding option
awards held by the named executive officers, whether vested or unvested, had an exercise price that was more than the
closing market price of our QRTEA common stock or QRTEB common stock, as applicable, on December 29, 2023, and
therefore have been excluded from the table below. The value of the RSUs and restricted shares shown in the table is based
on the applicable closing market price and the number of unvested RSUs or restricted shares that would have vested in
the applicable termination scenario according to the terms of the applicable award.

Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under the existing incentive plans. Additionally,
each of Messrs. Maffei and Rawlinson is entitled to certain payments and acceleration rights upon termination under his
respective employment agreement.

The circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout
are described below and in the footnotes to the table (other than those described under “—Executive Compensation
Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—
David Rawlinson II—Termination Payments and Benefits,” which are incorporated by reference herein):

VOLUNTARY TERMINATION

Each of the named executive officers holds equity awards that were issued under our existing incentive plans. Under
these plans and the related award agreements, in the event of a voluntary termination of his or her employment with our
company for any reason, each named executive officer would typically only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior
to his or her termination date. However, if Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason
(i) his 2020 Maffei Term Options would have been subject to pro rata vesting (based on the number of days elapsed during
the four-year vesting period) and, (ii) assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31,
2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have
been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Mr. Rawlinson would
have forfeited all rights to his unvested 2021 Rawlinson Term RSUs, 2023 Rawlinson RSUs and 2021 Rawlinson Term
Options upon a voluntary termination without good reason as of December 31, 2023. Each of Messrs. Maffei and Rawlinson
would have been entitled to certain other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment with our company as
of December 31, 2023. The type and amount of severance pay and benefits Mr. Maffei would receive would depend on
whether he remained employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company or
whether his employment with Liberty Media was also voluntarily terminated. These additional severance payments and
benefits and Rawlinson’s benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Termination Payments and Benefits—Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason,” and “—Executive
Compensation Arrangements—David Rawlinson II—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination for Cause or
Voluntary Termination without Good Reason.” Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm are not entitled to any
severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his or her employment.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

All outstanding equity grants constituting options, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, and all equity grants
constituting unvested RSUs under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer who is
terminated for “cause” (other than Mr. Maffei in the case of equity grants constituting vested options or similar rights).
However, if Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated for cause after the close of business on December 31, 2023,
his 2023 Maffei RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been

6 4 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. Unless there is a different
definition in the applicable award agreement, each of the 2012 incentive plan, 2016 incentive plan and 2020 incentive plan,
define “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the
refusal to perform duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided that, if such termination
is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), “cause” means a felony conviction for fraud,
misappropriation or embezzlement. With respect to Mr. Maffei’s equity grants, “cause,” as defined in the applicable award
agreement, means (i) Mr. Maffei’s willful failure to follow the lawful instructions of the Board of Directors of our company;
(ii) the commission by Mr. Maffei of any fraud, misappropriation or misconduct that causes demonstrable material injury
to our company or its subsidiaries; (iii) Mr. Maffei’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; or
(iv) Mr. Maffei’s failure to comply in any material respect with any written agreement between him and our company or any
of our subsidiaries if such failure causes demonstrable material injury to our company or any of our subsidiaries, except
that Mr. Maffei is entitled to certain procedural and cure rights relating to a termination for cause, except in the case of a
termination for cause based on a felony conviction. Mr. Maffei has certain continuing rights to exercise vested options or
similar rights following a termination for cause under his equity award agreements. With respect to Mr. Rawlinson’s equity
grants, “cause,” as defined in his employment agreement, means (i) Mr. Rawlinson’s material breach of his employment
agreement, (ii) Mr. Rawlinson’s engagement in illegal conduct or misconduct, which, in each case, is materially injurious
to our company, (iii) the commission by Mr. Rawlinson of fraud or embezzlement or other serious misconduct against our
company, (iv) the conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, Mr. Rawlinson of any felony, or (v) the conviction of
Mr. Rawlinson of a misdemeanor which conviction relates to Mr. Rawlinson’s suitability for employment in his then-current
positions (excluding any conviction for minor traffic violations).

TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON

As of December 31, 2023, Mr. Maffei’s unvested equity awards consisted of the 2020 Maffei Term Options, the 2021
Maffei Restricted Share Award and the 2023 Maffei RSUs. Upon a termination of his employment by our company without
cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei
Employment Agreement and as amended pursuant to the Letter Agreement), the 2020 Maffei Term Options and the 2021
Maffei Restricted Share Award would have vested and, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business
on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been
determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee.
Mr. Maffei would also be entitled to severance pay and benefits from our company upon a termination without cause or
by him for good reason. The type and amount of severance pay and benefits Mr. Maffei would receive would depend on
whether he remained employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company or
whether his employment with Liberty Media was also terminated without cause or for good reason. These additional
severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason” and
“—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination at our
Company without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason.”

As of December 31, 2023, Mr. Rawlinson’s unvested equity awards consisted of the final tranche of the 2021 Rawlinson
Term RSUs, the final tranche of the 2021 Rawlinson Term Options and the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs. Upon a termination of his
employment by our company without cause (as defined in the Rawlinson Employment Agreement) or by him for good
reason (as defined in the Rawlinson Employment Agreement), given the forward-vesting provisions in the applicable award
agreements (which provide for pro rata vesting on a tranche-by-tranche basis based on the number of days that have
elapsed from his start date through the termination date plus an additional 365 days), the unvested portions of the 2021
Rawlinson Term RSUs and 2021 Rawlinson Term Options would have vested. Upon a termination without cause or by
Mr. Rawlinson for good reason as of December 31, 2023, the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs would have remained outstanding and
vested to the extent the compensation committee determined that the performance criteria were met. Mr. Rawlinson
would also be entitled to severance pay and benefits from our company upon a termination without cause or by him for
good reason. These additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation
Arrangements—David Rawlinson II—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination without Cause or for Good Reason.”

As of December 31, 2023, Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s only unvested equity awards were their
2023 Chief RSUs. Upon a termination without cause as of December 31, 2023, the 2023 Chief RSUs held by these officers
would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would
have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. None of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm
is entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination without cause.

DEATH

In the event of death of any of the named executive officers, the existing incentive plans and applicable award agreements
would have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share or RSU
awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s death occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023
Maffei RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not
and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Each of Mr. Maffei and Mr. Rawlinson
is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits if he dies while employed by our company, as described above in
“—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by
Reason of Death or Disability,” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—David Rawlinson II—Termination Payments
and Benefits—Termination by Reason of Death or Disability.”

No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to life insurance policies, which Liberty Media makes available to all of its
employees, including Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm in their capacity as named executive officers
of Qurate Retail, and which Qurate Retail makes available to Mr. Rawlinson.

DISABILITY

If the employment of any of the named executive officers had been terminated due to disability, which is defined in the
existing incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements would have provided for vesting of any
outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share or RSU awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s
termination due to disability occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs would
have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have
vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Each of Mr. Maffei and Mr. Rawlinson is also entitled to
certain payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment due to disability, as described above in
“—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by
Reason of Death or Disability,” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—David Rawlinson II—Termination Payments
and Benefits—Termination by Reason of Death or Disability.”

No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to short-term and long-term disability policies, which Liberty Media makes
available to all of its employees, including Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm in their capacity as
named executive officers of Qurate Retail, and which Qurate Retail makes available to Mr. Rawlinson.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting of any outstanding options (other than the 2020
Maffei Term Options) and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU or restricted share awards (other than the 2021 Maffei
Restricted Share Award) held by the named executive officers. A change in control is generally defined as:

• The acquisition by a non-exempt person (as defined in the incentive plans) of beneficial ownership of at least 20%

of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the
election of directors, other than pursuant to a transaction approved by our Board of Directors.

• The individuals constituting our Board of Directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a

majority of the Board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the Board to approve new members by approval of
at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.

• Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were common stockholders of

our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the
successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily
having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of the assets of our company or the
dissolution of our company.

In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to
accelerate the existing equity awards of the named executive officers if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing
awards. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that our named executive officers’ existing
unvested equity awards (other than the 2020 Maffei Term Options and the 2021 Maffei Restricted Share Award) would vest
in the case of a change in control described in the last bullet. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment

6 6 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

Agreement as amended pursuant to the Letter Agreement) of Liberty Media would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time
period during which to exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason, which would result in vesting of his
2020 Maffei Term Options and the 2021 Maffei Restricted Share Award. For purposes of the tabular presentation below,
we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason in connection with
a change in control of our company.

If Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason at Qurate Retail, Liberty Media and each of the other
Service Companies (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) as of December 31, 2023, subject to execution of a
mutual release, he would have been entitled to receive $17 million in a lump sum, prorated based on the number of days that have
elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more
detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination
Payments and Benefits—Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason” above. The amount in the table includes
our allocable portion of this payment (11%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media.

If Mr. Maffei’s employment at Qurate Retail, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies had been terminated as of
December 31, 2023 by Qurate Retail, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies without cause (as defined in the 2019
Maffei Employment Agreement), by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether before
or within a specified period following a change in control), in each case, subject to execution of a mutual release, or due to Mr. Maffei’s
death or disability, he would have been entitled to receive (i) a payment of two times his 2023 base salary payable in 24 equal
monthly installments, (ii) fully vested shares of common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million, (iii) a lump
sum payment of an amount equal to two times his average annual bonus paid for the two calendar years prior to separation, but in
no event an amount that is less than two times his aggregate target bonus of $17 million and (iv) a lump sum cash payment
equal to the greater of (x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus otherwise payable for the year of termination, in
each case, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount
payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive
Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Liberty Media without
Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason” above. The amount in the table includes our allocable portion of this payment (11%) for
which we would reimburse Liberty Media. The amount in the table does not include the lump sum cash payment described in
(iv) because Mr. Maffei had already been paid his 2023 cash bonus prior to December 31, 2023.

(3) Based on the number of unvested RSUs held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 that would vest pursuant to the following: If

Mr. Maffei terminated his employment without good reason, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on
December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined
to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee, and the 2021 Maffei
Restricted Share Award would have been forfeited. As described above in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements
of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our
compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. Mr. Maffei would have also been

6 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

entitled to pro rata vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term Options, (based on the number of days that had elapsed over the four-year
vesting period) but because the exercise prices of all options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023, whether vested or unvested,
are more than the closing price of QRTEA and QRTEB shares, as applicable, on December 29, 2023, no value has been included
for any of Mr. Maffei’s options in the table.

(4) Based on the number of unvested RSUs held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 that would vest pursuant to the following: If

Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated for cause, he would have forfeited his 2020 Maffei Term Options and his 2021 Maffei
Restricted Share Award and, assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023
Maffei RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and
would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. As described above, in “—Compensation Discussion
and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei
Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs, which is reflected in the table above.
Because the exercise prices of all vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 are more than the closing price of QTREA
and QRTEB shares, as applicable, on December 29, 2023, no value has been included for Mr. Maffei’s vested options in the
table.

(5) Based on the number of unvested RSUs and restricted shares held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 that would vest pursuant
to the following: If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement), for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether before or within a specific period
following a change in control) or due to Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, his 2021 Maffei Restricted Share Award would have vested
in full and, assuming such terminations occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs would
have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested
to the extent determined by the compensation committee. As described above, in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—
Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,”
our compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. Mr. Maffei’s 2020 Maffei
Term Options would have also vested in full, but because the exercise prices of all options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023,
whether vested or unvested, are more than the closing price of QRTEA and QRTEB shares, as applicable, on December 29,
2023, no value has been included for any of Mr. Maffei’s options in the table.

(6) Based on the number of 2023 Maffei RSUs. As described above, our compensation committee vested Mr. Maffei at 100% of his

2023 Maffei RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement)
of our company would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise his rights to terminate his employment
for good reason, which would result in vesting of his 2020 Maffei Term Options and his 2021 Maffei Restricted Share Award, but for
purposes of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his
employment for good reason in connection with a change in control of our company. Because the exercise prices of all vested
options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 are more than the closing price of QRTEA and QRTEB shares, as applicable, on
December 29, 2023, no value has been included for Mr. Maffei’s vested options in the table.

If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated at our company’s election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for
good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) or by reason of disability, as of December 31, 2023, he would have been
entitled to receive (i) personal use of the corporate aircraft for 120 hours per year, (ii) information technology support from our
company, as reasonably requested by Mr. Maffei, and (iii) continuation of such other perquisites as Mr. Maffei was entitled to
receive prior to such termination, in each case, over a 12-month period. The maximum potential cost of using the corporate aircraft
for 120 hours based on an hourly average of the incremental cost of use of the corporate aircraft is $922,496. The amount in the
table includes our allocable portion of this payment (11%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media.

If Mr. Rawlinson’s employment had been terminated by reason of his death or disability as of December 31, 2023, subject to the
execution of a release by him or in the event of his death, his estate, he or his estate would have been entitled to receive continued
payment of his 2023 base salary for a period of one year following his termination.

If Mr. Rawlinson’s employment had been terminated by our company without cause (as defined in the Rawlinson Employment
Agreement) or by him for good reason (as defined in the Rawlinson Employment Agreement), subject to execution of a release, he
would have been entitled to receive a payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of (a) his 2023 base salary and (b) his 2023 target
bonus, payable in 18 equal monthly installments.

(10) Mr. Rawlinson would have forfeited all rights to his unvested 2021 Rawlinson Term RSUs, 2021 Rawlinson Term Options and 2023

Rawlinson RSUs upon a voluntary termination without good reason as of December 31, 2023. If Messrs. Wendling’s or
Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated by him or her as of December 31, 2023, all of the 2023 Chief
RSUs would have been forfeited. Messrs. Rawlinson’s, Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options would have
remained outstanding and exercisable in accordance with their terms in the event each of Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling and
Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm terminated his or her employment as of December 31, 2023, but because the exercise prices of all vested
options held by Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm at December 31, 2023 are more than the closing
price of QRTEA shares on December 29, 2023, no value has been included for their vested options in the table.

(11) If each of Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm was terminated by Qurate Retail for “cause” as of

December 31, 2023, all of his or her outstanding option and RSU grants would have been forfeited.

(12) Based on the number of unvested RSUs held by the named executive officer as of December 31, 2023 that would have vested
pursuant to the following: If Messrs. Rawlinson’s, Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated
without cause or, for Mr. Rawlinson, if he terminated his employment for good reason, in each case, as of December 31, 2023, the
2023 Rawlinson RSUs and the 2023 Chief RSUs would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been
determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee. As described
above in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive
Compensation—Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested 82% of the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs and all of the
2023 Chief RSUs, which is reflected in the table above. The unvested portions of each of Mr. Rawlinson’s 2021 Rawlinson Term
RSUs and 2021 Rawlinson Term Options would have vested pursuant to the forward-vesting provisions in such named executive
officer’s award agreements. Because the exercise prices of all options held by Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling and Rosenthaler and
Ms. Wilm at December 31, 2023, whether vested or unvested, are more than the closing market price of QRTEA shares on
December 29, 2023, no value has been included for any of the named executive officers’ options in the table.

(13) Based on the number of unvested RSUs held by the named executive officer as of December 31, 2023 that would vest pursuant to
the following: If Messrs. Rawlinson’s, Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated due to death
or disability as of December 31, 2023 all of the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs and 2023 Chief RSUs would have vested. The unvested
portions of the 2021 Rawlinson Term RSUs and the 2021 Rawlinson Term Options would have also vested. Because the exercise
prices of all options held by Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm at December 31, 2023, whether vested
or unvested, are more than the closing price of QRTEA shares on December 29, 2023, no value has been included for any of the
named executive officers’ options in the table.

(14) Upon a change of control, we have assumed for purposes of the tabular presentation above that all of the 2023 Rawlinson RSUs

and 2023 Chief RSUs would have vested. The unvested portions of the 2021 Rawlinson Term RSUs and the 2021 Rawlinson Term
Options would have also vested. Because the exercise prices of all options held by Messrs. Rawlinson, Wendling and Rosenthaler
and Ms. Wilm at December 31, 2023, whether vested or unvested, are more than the closing market price of QRTEA shares on
December 29, 2023, no value has been included for any of the named executive officers’ options in the table.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

This section provides information about the relationship between compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive
Officer and other named executive officers and certain financial performance measures of our company. For purposes of
this section, the amount of compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers
is determined using the valuation methods prescribed by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Although the rules
describe such amount as compensation actually paid, these amounts are not reflective of the taxable compensation actually
paid to our named executive officers in a covered year. As described in more detail below, to determine the amount of
compensation actually paid in a covered year, Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K requires that in each covered year we (1) deduct
the grant date value of equity awards reported in the Stock Awards or Option Awards columns in the Summary
Compensation Table from the Total column in the Summary Compensation Table; (2) add, for awards granted in the
covered year, the fair value of the equity awards (i) as of the end of a covered year or (ii) as of the vesting date, as applicable;
and (3) add or subtract, for awards granted in, and outstanding at the end of, a prior year (i) the change in the fair value
from the end of the prior year to the end of the current year or (ii) from the end of the prior year to the date the awards vest
in the covered year, as applicable.

Table in each of the fiscal years indicated.

(b) The adjustments made to the fair value of equity awards in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K do not

include adjustments for dividends paid or the fair value of equity awards received in lieu of cash compensation foregone
at a named executive officer’s election where such amounts are reported in the Salary, Bonus or All Other Compensation
columns of the Summary Compensation Table in accordance with SEC guidance. Amounts with respect to our
performance-based awards have been revised from those provided in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
with respect to our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders in accordance with SEC guidance released in September 2023
to reflect that vesting occurred as of the last day of the performance year (which is the last day the NEOs were required
to provide services to receive the awards) instead of the date our compensation committee certified the level at which the
performance goals were achieved.

(c) Reflects, with respect to each of our Current PEO and Former PEO, the fair value and, with respect to the non-PEO
NEOs, the average of the fair values, as of the end of the covered fiscal year of awards granted in, and remaining
outstanding and unvested (in whole or in part) as of the end of, the covered fiscal year.

(d) Reflects, with respect to each of our Current PEO and Former PEO, the change in fair value, and with respect to the non-
PEO NEOs, the average of the change in fair values, from the end of the prior fiscal year to the end of the covered
fiscal year of awards granted in prior fiscal years that remained outstanding and unvested (in whole or in part) as of the
end of the covered fiscal year.

(e) Reflects, with respect to each of our Current PEO and Former PEO, the fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO

NEOs, the average of the fair values, as of the day awards became vested in the covered fiscal year, when such awards
were also granted in the covered fiscal year.

(f) Reflects, with respect to each of our Current PEO and Former PEO, the change in fair value, and with respect to the non-
PEO NEOs, the average of the change in fair values, from the end of the prior fiscal year to the day awards became
vested in the covered fiscal year, when such awards were granted in a prior fiscal year.

(4) For each covered fiscal year, represents the cumulative total stockholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment in each of our
Series A and Series B common stock (Nasdaq: QRTEA and QRTEB) from December 31, 2019 through December 31 of each
covered fiscal year.

(5) For each covered fiscal year, represents the cumulative total stockholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment in the S&P 500

Retail Index from December 31, 2019 through December 31 of each covered fiscal year.

(6) Represents the amount of net income reflected in our consolidated financial statements for each covered fiscal year.

(1) Upon adoption of the 2020 incentive plan, as amended, the Board of Directors ceased making any further grants under the prior

incentive plans, including the 2016 incentive plan, as amended. The amounts reported for the 2016 incentive plan reflect 18,339,817
shares of QRTEA and 722,738 shares of QRTEB to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and 793,921 shares of
QRTEA and 23,805 shares of QRTEP to be issued upon the settlement of restricted stock units. The weighted average exercise
prices relate solely to outstanding options and do not take into account restricted stock units, which by their nature do not have an
exercise price.

(2) The 2020 incentive plan, as amended, permits grants of, or with respect to, shares of any series of our common stock. Shares

remaining in the 2016 incentive plan as of the adoption of the 2020 incentive plan are available for issuance under the 2020 incentive
plan. The amounts reported for the 2020 incentive plan reflect 4,146,262 shares of QRTEA to be issued upon exercise of
outstanding options and 13,888,432 shares of QRTEA, 352,564 shares of QRTEB and 198 shares of QRTEP to be issued upon
the settlement of restricted stock units or deferred stock units. For restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting
requirements, such amounts vested at 100 percent of target performance and therefore are reflected as such in the above table. As
described in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive
Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei
RSUs, but had 150 percent of the 2023 Maffei RSUs vested, 528,846 shares of QRTEB would have been issuable upon the
settlement of restricted stock units. The weighted average exercise prices relate solely to outstanding options and do not take into
account restricted stock units or deferred stock units, which by their nature do not have an exercise price.

(3) On October 1, 2015, in connection with our acquisition of Zulily, we assumed each outstanding award issued pursuant to the Zulily,
Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and the Zulily, Inc. 2013 Equity Plan (together, the Zulily Plans and such awards collectively, the
Assumed Zulily Awards). The Assumed Zulily Awards were converted into a corresponding award with respect to shares of
QRTEA. We do not intend to issue any new grants under the Zulily Plans in the future. Although Zulily was sold in May 2023, certain
of our employees retained their Assumed Zulily Awards. As of December 31, 2023, under the Zulily, Inc. 2013 Equity Plan, the

QU RATE R ETA IL , INC.

/ 75

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights was 1,351 QRTEA shares, which have
a weighted average exercise price of $31.03.

On December 29, 2017, in connection with our acquisition of HSN, Inc., we assumed each outstanding award issued pursuant to
the HSN, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan and the HSN, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan
(together, the HSN Plans and such awards collectively, the Assumed HSN Awards). The Assumed HSN Awards were converted
into a corresponding award with respect to shares of QRTEA. We do not intend to issue any new grants under the HSN Plans in the
future. As of December 31, 2023, the number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights
under the HSN, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan was 1,042,463 QRTEA shares, which
have a weighted average exercise price of $13.69 and 3,510 shares of QRTEA and 104 shares of QRTEP to be issued upon the
settlement of deferred stock units . With respect to the HSN, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, reflects 5,535 shares of QRTEA and
165 shares of QRTEP to be issued upon settlement of deferred stock units.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive
officers (as defined herein) and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group of shares of QRTEA, QRTEB and
QRTEP. The security ownership information with respect to our capital stock is given as of February 29, 2024 and, in the
case of percentage ownership information, is based upon (1) 383,047,720 QRTEA shares, (2) 8,700,380 QRTEB shares
and (3) 12,706,843 QRTEP shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. The percentage voting power is presented
on an aggregate basis for all QRTEA and QRTEB shares. QRTEP shares are, however, non-voting and, therefore, in the
case of percentage voting power, are not included.

Shares of restricted stock that have been granted pursuant to Qurate Retail’s incentive plans are included in the outstanding
share numbers, for purposes of the table below and throughout this proxy statement. Shares of capital stock issuable
upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and convertible securities
that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after February 29, 2024 are deemed to be outstanding and to
be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights or
convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person and for the
aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding
for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person. For purposes of the following
presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of QRTEB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of QRTEA,
are reported as beneficial ownership of QRTEB only, and not as beneficial ownership of QRTEA. So far as is known to
us, the persons indicated below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares indicated as owned by
them, except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

dividends paid on QRTEP. Ms. Dias’s restricted stock units and dividend equivalent stock unit rights will vest upon her termination
of service from the Board of Directors.

(10) Mr. Rosenthaler retired from his position as our Chief Corporate Development Officer on December 31, 2023. Mr. Rosenthaler’s

beneficial ownership of QRTEA shares includes beneficial ownership of 143,897 shares that may be acquired upon exercise of, or
which relate to, stock options exercisable within 60 days after February 29, 2024.

(11) The 291,314 QRTEA shares and 7,944 QRTEP shares held by the trust described in footnote (6) above and included in the
number of shares beneficially owned by both Messrs. Malone and Evan Malone are only included once in these totals.

HEDGING DISCLOSURE

We do not have any practices or policies regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of
their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and
exchange funds) or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any
decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

We know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a
subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent
of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.

Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms filed with the SEC and
written representations made to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that, during the year ended
December 31, 2023, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent
beneficial owners were met, with the exception of one Form 4 by Albert E. Rosenthaler reporting one transaction.

Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer
has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed “related party transaction” (as
defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated
by our Board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company
without the approval of the audit committee of our Board or another independent body of our Board designated to address
such actual or potential conflicts.

MALONE STOCK EXCHANGE AND MAFFEI ARRANGEMENTS

On May 18, 2021, Gregory B. Maffei, the Chairman of the Board and a director of our company, delivered a written offer
(the Offer) to John C. Malone, a director of our company, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of QRTEB beneficially
owned by Mr. Malone, his wife Leslie Malone and certain trusts for the benefit of Mr. Malone, Mrs. Malone and/or their
children (the Malone Group, and such shares, the Subject Shares) at a per share price of $14.00 payable in cash,
securities or such other form of consideration as to which Mr. Maffei and Mr. Malone might mutually agree. The transfer by
the Malone Group of the Subject Shares was subject to the terms of that certain call agreement, dated February 9,
1998 (the Call Agreement), among our company, as successor-in-interest to the assignee of TCI Mr. Malone and
Mrs. Malone, which provided us with the right to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Subject Shares at a per share price
equal to the lower of (x) the Offer price or (y) 110% of the average closing prices of a share of QRTEA for the 30
consecutive trading days ending on May 17, 2021 (with the price calculated pursuant to clause (y) equal to $13.62 per
share (the Call Price)) (the Call Right). On May 18, 2021, Mr. Malone provided written notice to us of his desire to accept
the Offer, subject to the approval by our Board of Directors of the transactions contemplated thereby for purposes of
Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, pursuant to the terms of the Call Agreement.
However, in the event we determined to exercise the Call Right, Mr. Malone indicated a preference for the payment of the
per share price in the form of shares of QRTEA such that he would continue to hold a substantial investment in our company.

STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH JOHN C. MALONE

On June 2, 2021, we delivered written notice to Mr. Malone to exercise the Call Right and to pay the per share Call Price
required by the Call Agreement in shares of QRTEA. On June 3, 2021, we and the Malone Group entered into a Stock
Exchange Agreement (the Malone Stock Exchange Agreement) to effect the closing of the Call Right exercise, pursuant
to which the Malone Group transferred to us an aggregate of 27,655,931 shares of QRTEB, and in exchange (the
Malone Exchange), we issued to the Malone Group an aggregate of 30,421,522 shares of QRTEA. Under the terms of
the Call Agreement, the aggregate Call Price converts into an equivalent ratio of 1.1 shares of QRTEA for each share of
QRTEB with the aggregate number of shares of QRTEA issued to each member of the Malone Group rounded down to the
nearest whole share.

ARRANGEMENTS WITH GREGORY B. MAFFEI

As a result of the Malone Exchange and in the absence of the negotiated Letter Agreement (defined below) Mr. Maffei
would have had the right to assert that a “Change of Control” (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), by
and between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei) with respect to our company had occurred and that Mr. Maffei had “Good Reason”
(as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) to resign from and terminate his employment with our company.
This would have resulted in the acceleration of the vesting of Mr. Maffei’s outstanding and unvested equity-based awards
with respect to our company, our obligation to pay Mr. Maffei certain severance related benefits and our obligation to make a
termination payment to Liberty Media pursuant to that certain Services Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2011,
between us and Liberty Media, as clarified by that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2011, by and
between us and Liberty Media, and as amended by that certain First Amendment to Services Agreement, effective as of
December 13, 2019, by and between us and Liberty Media (the Services Agreement).

WAIVER LETTER AND AMENDMENT OF 2019 MAFFEI EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

On June 3, 2021, we, Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei entered into a Waiver Letter and Amendment of 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement (the Letter Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Maffei (x) waived his rights to assert that
our exercise of the Call Right, the transactions to be consummated pursuant to the Malone Stock Exchange Agreement or
the resulting reduction in the Malone Group’s voting power with respect to our company (collectively, the Specified
Events) would constitute a “Change in Control” or “Good Reason,” in each case, as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement, with respect to our company, and agreed not to terminate his employment with our company for “Good
Reason” in connection with or arising out of the Option Cancellation (as defined below) or any of the Specified Events,
and (y) consented to the cancellation (the Option Cancellation) of stock option awards to purchase shares of QRTEB that
had been granted to Mr. Maffei on each of December 24, 2014, and March 31, 2015 for 1,137,228 shares at an exercise
price of $16.97 per share, and 197,783 shares at an exercise price of $16.71 per share, respectively. In consideration for the
foregoing, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, (i) Mr. Maffei received a grant of 1,101,321 restricted shares of QRTEB that
are scheduled to vest, subject to Mr. Maffei’s continued employment with our company, in two equal tranches on December 10,
2024 and the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier vesting under certain circumstances, and (ii) we
agreed that the portion of the Annual Equity Awards (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) to be granted
by our company to Mr. Maffei pursuant to Section 4.11 of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement for calendar years
2022, 2023 and 2024 shall be granted with respect to QRTEB.

MAFFEI STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

Also, on June 3, 2021, we and Mr. Maffei entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the Maffei Stock Exchange
Agreement) pursuant to which, among other things: (i) on June 3, 2021, Mr. Maffei transferred to us an aggregate of
5,378,308 shares of QRTEA, and in exchange we issued to Mr. Maffei an equivalent number of shares of QRTEB; (ii) we
agreed that on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Maffei Stock Exchange Agreement, Mr. Maffei, at his option
(during the six-month period following the vesting of the performance-based restricted stock unit award granted to
Mr. Maffei on March 10, 2021), may transfer to us the number of shares of QRTEA actually received by Mr. Maffei upon
vesting of such performance-based restricted stock unit award in exchange for an equivalent number of newly-issued shares
of QRTEB (the Subsequent Exchange); (iii) Mr. Maffei agreed that until December 31, 2024 (the Cap Period), which is
also the end of the current term of his employment as set forth in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, he will not, and
will not authorize or permit any of his affiliates that he controls (Controlled Affiliates) to, acquire or agree to acquire (or
announce publicly an intent to acquire) by purchase or otherwise, beneficial ownership of our voting securities (or direct or
indirect rights or options to acquire any such voting securities) if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of securities,
the aggregate voting power of our voting securities beneficially owned by Mr. Maffei and his Controlled Affiliates would
exceed 20.0% of the voting power of all of the outstanding voting securities (assuming, for purposes of this calculation that
all voting securities beneficially owned by Mr. Maffei which are not outstanding are included in the calculation) (the Cap);
and (iv) the foregoing transactions by which Mr. Maffei and certain of his related persons became an “interested stockholder”
were approved for purposes of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The Cap is subject to certain exceptions, including (i) the Subsequent Exchange, (ii) the receipt, exercise or vesting of his
equity compensation awards and (iii) any dividend or other distribution made, or similar action taken, by us (including the
receipt in connection therewith of any rights, warrants or other securities granting the holder the right to acquire voting
securities of our company, and any acquisition of voting securities of our company upon the exercise thereof). However,
if during the Cap Period, the voting power of our outstanding voting securities beneficially owned by Mr. Maffei and his
Controlled Affiliates exceeds the Cap, Mr. Maffei will, and will cause his Controlled Affiliates to, vote his voting securities that
represent voting power in excess of the Cap, in the same proportions as the votes cast by our stockholders unaffiliated
with Mr. Maffei on any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders. In addition, Mr. Maffei and his Controlled Affiliates may
not transfer voting securities of our company to any other Controlled Affiliate of Mr. Maffei unless such transferee has
agreed to be bound by the terms of the Maffei Stock Exchange Agreement.

On March 25, 2022, we and Mr. Maffei completed the Subsequent Exchange. Pursuant to the terms of the Maffei Stock
Exchange Agreement, at the closing of the Subsequent Exchange, Mr. Maffei transferred to us 229,022 shares of QRTEA
and in exchange we issued to Mr. Maffei an equivalent number of shares of QRTEB.

The foregoing descriptions of the Malone Stock Exchange Agreement, the Maffei Stock Exchange Agreement, the Letter
Agreement and Mr. Maffei’s restricted stock award do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their
entirety by, such agreements, which are incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4,
respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 4, 2021.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Qurate Retail defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, expenditures for
television distribution rights, investments in green energy and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests. Qurate Retail
believes free cash flow is an important indicator of the financial stability of its business. Qurate Retail believes cash flows
from operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Free cash flow is not meant to replace or supersede
this GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measure in order to present investors with a supplemental
metric of financial performance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial
condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto. Additionally, see note 2 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for an overview of new
accounting standards that we have adopted or that we plan to adopt that have had or may have an impact on our financial
statements.

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of video and online commerce companies. Our
largest businesses and reportable segments are QxH (QVC U.S. and HSN, Inc. (“HSN”)) and QVC International. QVC,
Inc. (“QVC”), which includes QxH and QVC International, markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the
United States (“U.S.”) and several foreign countries via highly engaging video-rich, interactive shopping experiences.
Cornerstone Brands, Inc. (“CBI”) consists of a portfolio of aspirational home and apparel brands, and is a reportable
segment. Our “Corporate and other” category includes various cost method investments.

Zulily, LLC (“Zulily”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail until its divestiture on May 24, 2023.
Qurate Retail recognized a loss on the divestiture of $64 million in the second quarter of 2023. Zulily is included in
Corporate and other through May 23, 2023 and is not presented as a discontinued operation as the disposition did not
represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on Qurate Retail’s operations and financial results.

Included in revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is $301 million, $906 million and
$1,453 million, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to Zulily. Included in net
earnings (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations is a loss of $44 million, a loss of $470 million,
and a loss of $412 million, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, related to Zulily. Included
in total assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 is $257 million, related to Zulily.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant disruption to the global economy and negatively impacted us
and our operations. For example, as a result of COVID-19, many traditional brick-and-mortar retailers temporarily closed
their stores while distance retailers, such as QVC, continued operating. As a result, QVC initially experienced an increase
in new customers and an increase in demand for certain categories, such as home and electronics. However, as traditional
brick-and-mortar retailers were allowed to reopen their stores and consumers were able to resume prepandemic shopping
habits, we observed a decline in customers and a decline in demand for our products.

F-2

Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, QVC experienced escalating shipping disruptions due to challenges in
the global supply chain and labor market. These factors caused extended lead time on inventory orders. As a result, the
delayed receipt of inventory ordered in prior periods impacted QVC’s ability to have the right products at the right time.
These factors also impacted QVC’s ability to offer certain goods and ship orders timely to our customers. Although these
product shortages and supply chain disruptions have moderated, in the event of resurgences of COVID-19, including new
variants in the future, or the occurrence of another pandemic or epidemic, QVC cannot be certain that they will be able to
identify alternative sources for their products without delay or without greater cost to us.

In addition, as a result of COVID-19 QVC experienced material negative impacts to our financial results,
including our capital and liquidity, decreases in the disposable income of existing and potential new customers, heightened
inflation, increased currency volatility resulting in adverse currency rate fluctuations and higher interest rates.

QVC has seen inflationary pressures during the period, including higher wages and merchandise costs. If these

pressures persist, inflated costs may result in certain increased costs outpacing QVC’s pricing power in the near term.

On December 18, 2021, QVC experienced a fire at its Rocky Mount fulfillment center in North Carolina. Rocky
Mount was QVC’s second-largest fulfillment center, processing approximately 25% to 30% of volume for QVC U.S., and
also served as QVC U.S.’s primary returns center for hard goods. The building was significantly damaged as a result of
the fire and related smoke and would not reopen. QVC took steps to mitigate disruption to operations including diverting
inbound orders, leveraging its existing fulfillment centers and supplementing these facilities with short-term leased space
as needed. QVC sold the property in February 2023 and as of December 31, 2023 received net cash proceeds of
$19 million. QVC continues to assess its network footprint and is making investments to expand capacity and increase
throughput as a result of the loss of the Rocky Mount fulfillment center.

Based on the provisions of QVC’s insurance policies certain fire related costs were recoverable. In June 2023,
QVC agreed to a final insurance settlement with its insurance company and received all remaining proceeds related to the
Rocky Mount claim. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, QVC recorded cumulative fire related costs of $407 million and
$439 million, respectively. Cumulative costs as of December 31, 2022 and 2023 include $119 million of costs that were
not reimbursable by QVC’s insurance policies. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, QVC received cumulative insurance
proceeds of $380 million and $660 million, respectively and recorded net gains, representing the proceeds received in
excess of recoverable losses recognized, of $132 million and $208 million, respectively. Of the $280 million of insurance
proceeds received during the year ended December 31, 2023, $210 million represents recoveries for business interruption
losses. The fire related costs and gains related to insurance recoveries are included in restructuring, penalties and fire
related costs, net of (recoveries) in the consolidated statement of operations.

While QVC took steps to minimize the overall impact to the business, it experienced increased warehouse and
logistics costs during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. QVC does not anticipate these increased warehouse
and logistics costs will have a material impact on future periods.

In June 2022, QVC modified the finance lease for its distribution center in Ontario, California which reduced the
term of the lease and removed QVC’s ability to take ownership of the distribution center at the end of the lease term. QVC
will make annual payments over the modified lease term. Since the lease was modified and removed QVC’s ability to take
ownership at the end of the lease term, the Company accounted for the modification similar to a sale and leaseback
transaction, and as a result, recognized a $240 million gain on the sale of the distribution center during the second quarter
of 2022 calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received (including cash of $250 million and
forgiveness of the remaining financing obligation of $84 million) and the carrying value of the distribution center. The
gain is included in gains on sale of asset and sale leaseback transactions in the consolidated statement of operations. The
Company accounted for the modified lease as an operating lease and recorded a $37 million right-of-use asset and a
$31 million operating lease liability, with the difference attributable to prepaid rent.

F-3

leaseback during the year ended December 31, 2022, calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration
received and the carrying value of the properties. The Company accounted for the leases as operating leases and recorded
a $207 million right-of-use asset and a $205 million operating lease liability, with the difference attributable to initial direct
costs.

In November 2022, QVC entered into agreements to sell two properties located in Germany and the U.K. to an
independent third party. Under the terms of the agreements, QVC received net cash proceeds of $102 million related to its
German facility and $80 million related to its U.K. facility when the sale closed in January 2023. Concurrent with the sale,
QVC entered into agreements to lease each of the properties back from the purchaser over an initial term of 20 years with
the option to extend the terms of the property leases for up to four consecutive terms of five years. QVC recognized a
$69 million and $44 million gain related to the successful sale leaseback of the German and U.K. properties, respectively,
during the first quarter of 2023 calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the carrying
value of the properties. The Company accounted for the leases as operating leases and recorded a $42 million and
$32 million right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for the German and U.K. properties, respectively.

Strategies and Challenges

QVC

On June 27, 2022, Qurate Retail announced a five-point turnaround plan designed to stabilize and differentiate
its QVC U.S. and HSN brands and expand the Company's leadership in video streaming commerce (“Project Athens”).
Project Athens main initiatives include: (i) improve customer experience and grow relationships; (ii) rigorously execute
core processes; (iii) lower cost to serve; (iv) optimize the brand portfolio; and (v) build new high growth businesses
anchored in strength.

Improve Customer Experience and Grow Relationships. Qurate Retail is focused on rebuilding stronger
connections with their customers. In order to improve customer experience and grow relationships, Qurate Retail is
working to optimize programming using advanced analytics to align product offerings, promotions and airtime with
customer preferences. In addition, we expect to invest in infrastructure which will endeavor to improve the customer's
order to delivery experience by reducing shipping time and improving shipment tracking visibility. We will continue to
focus on customer loyalty through providing customers with a more personalized experience.

Rigorously execute core processes. Qurate Retail is enhancing its core processes to deliver the human story telling
experience behind a product while also sharing a clear and compelling value proposition. In order to rigorously execute
core processes, Qurate Retail will optimize pricing and assortment by investing in enhanced IT systems that will support
real-time pricing and promotion adjustments at an item level. We will also focus on growing our private label brands to
drive revenue and margin at productive scale.

Lower cost to serve. Qurate Retail is right sizing its cost base to improve profitability and cash generation. In
order to lower cost to serve, Qurate Retail will enhance review of spending to identify cost savings opportunities and
opportunities to create new operational efficiencies, through end-to-end product and process reviews, and leveraging
technology and process automation. Additionally, we will improve product margin through lower fulfillment costs, freight
optimization and higher productivity.

Optimize the brand portfolio. Qurate Retail divested Zulily in the second quarter of 2023, consistent with its goal

of optimizing the brand portfolio. Qurate Retail is exploring untapped opportunities to maximize brand value.

Build new high growth businesses anchored in strength. Finally, Qurate Retail is focused on expanding in the
video streaming shopping market. In order to build new high growth businesses anchored in strength, Qurate Retail expects
to expand streaming viewership by improving the current streaming experience with enhanced video and navigation and
seamless transactions. Additionally, we are shaping the future streaming experience with exclusive content, program and
deal concepts. We are also building a next generation shopping app featuring vendors with self-made content.

F-4

QVC’s future net revenue will depend on its ability to grow through digital platforms, retain and grow revenue
from existing customers and attract new customers. QVC's future net revenue may also be affected by (i) the willingness
of cable television and direct-to-home satellite system operators to continue carrying QVC's programming service;
(ii) QVC's ability to maintain favorable channel positioning, which may become more difficult due to governmental action
or from distributors converting analog customers to digital; (iii) changes in television viewing habits because of video-on-
demand technologies and Internet video services; (iv) QVC's ability to source new and compelling products; and
(v) general economic conditions.

The current economic uncertainty in various regions of the world in which our subsidiaries and affiliates operate
could adversely affect demand for their products and services since a substantial portion of their revenue is derived from
discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Global financial markets
may experience disruptions, including increased volatility and diminished liquidity and credit availability. If economic and
financial market conditions in the U.S. or other key markets, including Japan and Europe, continue to be uncertain or
deteriorate, customers may respond by suspending, delaying, or reducing their discretionary spending. A suspension, delay
or reduction in discretionary spending could adversely affect revenue. Accordingly, our businesses’ ability to increase or
maintain revenue and earnings could be adversely affected to the extent that relevant economic environments decline. Such
weak economic conditions may also inhibit QVC’s expansion into new European and other markets. The Company is
currently unable to predict the extent of any of these potential adverse effects.

During 2022, QVC commenced the first phase of Project Athens, including actions to reduce inventory and
planned a workforce reduction that was completed in February 2023. These initiatives are consistent with QVC’s strategy
to operate more efficiently as it implements its turnaround plan, and QVC expects to incur additional expenses related to
Project Athens initiatives in future periods. During the year ended December 31, 2023, QVC implemented a workforce
reduction and recorded restructuring charges of $13 million in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of
(recoveries) in the consolidated statements of operations.

CBI.

CBI’s goal is to continue to provide customers with appealing home furnishings and apparel products that delight
and inspire. As customers shop CBI’s breadth of products through its websites, retail stores or through its catalog mailings,
they will find products that allow them to outfit their lives and homes to their unique style. CBI’s brands, including Ballard
Designs, Frontgate, Grandin Road and Garnet Hill, provide a selection of fresh, unique and aspirational merchandise
curated every season. CBI intends to employ the following strategies to achieve these goals and objectives: (i) acquire new
customers through effective direct-to-consumer marketing; (ii) expand brick-and-mortar retail in attractive markets; (iii)
further develop proprietary product that is unique to its brand positioning; (iv) invest in cross brand loyalty programs and
a redesigned mobile platform; and (v) build out a successful low cost supply chain network to support the growth of the
business.

CBI looks to leverage its sourcing network by leaning on its merchandising team for further proprietary product
development. As CBI grows, continuing to identify a stable and reliable supplier base that can partner with its brand
merchants to develop future collections and offering will be key to the long-term health and growth of the business. If CBI
is not able to identify markets capable of manufacturing at a logistics cost structure that aids the brand desire for further
proprietary product, it may lose customers to lower cost competitors who rely on trading houses for product. Even if CBI
identifies new vendors, it may not be able to purchase desired merchandise in sufficient quantities or on acceptable terms
in the future, and products from alternative sources, if any, may be of a lesser quality or more expensive than those from
existing vendors. An inability to purchase suitable merchandise on acceptable terms or to source new vendors could have
an adverse effect on CBI’s business.

As a direct-to-consumer company, CBI endeavors to effectively target consumers to drive acquisition, repeat
buyers and reactivated purchasers. CBI uses a balance of retail stores and digital marketing to entice customers to shop its
assortment. CBI must incur costs related to its marketing efforts, including but not limited to, photography, digital
analytics, paper purchases, catalog print relationships, and real estate development. As CBI grows, there will be challenges
to market in a way that enables further consumer purchase expansion at a cost that continues to return value back to the
business.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue decreased 9.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the

corresponding prior year period.

QxH, CBI and QVC International revenue decreased $364 million, $148 million and $74 million, respectively,
during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in the prior year. See "Results of Operations –
Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of QVC and CBI. Corporate and other
revenue decreased $605 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in the prior year,
due to Zulily’s results only being recorded through May 23, 2023.

Operating income (loss). Our consolidated operating income increased $2,631 million for the year ended

December 31, 2023 as compared to the corresponding prior year period.

F-6

QxH and QVC International operating income increased $2,095 million and $64 million, respectively, and CBI
decreased by $13 million, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. See
"Results of Operations – Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of QVC and CBI.
Operating income for Corporate and other increased $485 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to
the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily related to Zulily’s operations only being recorded through May 23,
2023 as a result of the divestiture of Zulily.

Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”). To provide investors with
additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based
compensation, and where applicable, separately identified impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring, penalties and
fire related costs, net (including Rocky Mount inventory losses), and gains on sale of assets and leaseback transactions.
Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other
measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this
is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses by identifying those items that are
not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure
allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify
strategies to improve performance. Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,
operating income, net income, cash flows provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The following table provides a reconciliation of Operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA.

Years ended December 31,

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to
the corresponding prior year period, due to the reversal of interest expense accrued in prior periods related to QVC’s
settlement of state income tax reserves during the current period, and a decrease in Corporate level interest expense due to
the exchanges of the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (as defined below) during the current period, partially offset
by higher interest expense as a result of the outstanding balance and a higher interest rate on QVC’s senior secured credit
facility (the “Credit Facility”) during the current period.

Interest and dividend income. Interest and dividend income increased $42 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily related to increases in cash balances
during the first half of 2023 and higher interest rates on invested cash balances compared to the prior year.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on

financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:

The changes in these accounts are due primarily to market factors and changes in the fair value of the underlying
stocks or financial instruments to which these relate. The increase in realized and unrealized losses for the year ended
December 31, 2023 as compared to the corresponding prior year was primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on
the exchangeable senior debentures driven by increases in stock prices of the securities underlying the debentures
compared to the prior year, and an increase in unrealized losses on the Company’s equity securities, partially offset by a
decrease in unrealized losses on the indemnification asset (see note 4 of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements).

Loss on disposition of Zulily. The Company recorded a net loss of $64 million associated with the disposition of

Zulily during the year ended December 31, 2023 (see note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

F-8

Tax sharing income (expense) with Liberty Broadband. The Company has a tax sharing agreement with Liberty
Broadband. As a result, the Company recognized tax sharing loss of $11 million and tax sharing income of $79 million
for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other, net. Other, net decreased $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to the
corresponding prior year periods. The activity captured in Other, net is primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains
(losses) and tax sharing income. The increase in Other, net for the year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily due to the
result of foreign exchange losses in the current year compared to foreign exchange gains in the prior year, and the sale of
warrants at QVC in the prior year and no similar sale in the current year, partially offset by tax sharing income from Liberty
Media Corporation (“LMC”).

Income taxes. Earnings (losses) before income taxes and income tax (expense) benefit are as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2023 income tax expense was greater than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due
to state income tax expense, foreign income tax expense, the impairment of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes,
non-deductible interest expense related to Preferred Stock and stock compensation, partially offset by tax benefits from a
decrease in effective tax rate used to measure deferred taxes.

For 2022, the most significant portion of the losses before income taxes relates to a goodwill impairment that is

not deductible for tax purposes.

Net earnings (loss). We had net losses of $94 million and $2,532 million for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in net earnings (loss) was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our
revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

F-9

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023 substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury
securities, other government securities or government guaranteed funds, AAA rated money market funds and other highly
rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, equity issuances, dividend and interest
receipts, proceeds from asset sales, debt (including availability under the Credit Facility, as discussed in note 6 of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements), and cash generated by the operating activities of our wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Cash generated by the operating activities of our subsidiaries is only a source of liquidity to the extent such
cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted. For example, under QVC’s bond
indentures, it is able to pay dividends or make other restricted payments if it is not in default on its senior secured notes
and its consolidated leverage ratio is no greater than 3.5 to 1.0 (“the senior secured notes leverage basket”). In addition,
under the Credit Facility, QVC is able to pay dividends or make other restricted payments if it is not in default on the
Credit Facility and its consolidated net leverage ratio is no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. Further, under QVC’s bond indentures
and the Credit Facility credit agreement, unlimited dividends are permitted to service the debt of Qurate Retail so long as
there is no default (i.e., no leverage test is needed).

As of December 31, 2023, QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under QVC’s senior secured notes)
was greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and as a result QVC is restricted in its ability to make dividends or other restricted payments
under the senior secured notes. Although QVC will not be able to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments
under the senior secured notes leverage basket, QVC will continue to be permitted to make unlimited dividends to parent
entities of QVC to service the principal and interest when due in respect of indebtedness of such parent entities (so long as
there is no default under the indentures governing QVC’s senior secured notes or the Credit Facility) and permitted to
make certain restricted payments to Qurate Retail under an intercompany tax sharing agreement in respect of certain tax
obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries.

Qurate Retail and certain of its subsidiaries’ debt credit ratings were downgraded during the year ended
December 31, 2023 as follows: (i) Fitch Ratings downgraded Qurate Retail, LI LLC, and QVC’s long-term issuer default
ratings from “BB-” to “B”, LI LLC’s senior unsecured rating from “BB-” to “CCC+”, and QVC’s senior secured rating
from “BB+” to “B+”; (ii) S&P Global downgraded LI LLC’s issuer credit rating from “B-” to “CCC+”, LI LLC’s senior
unsecured rating from “CCC” to “CCC-”, and QVC’s senior secured rating from “B+” to “B-”; and (iii) Moody’s
downgraded LI LLC corporate family rating from “B1” to “B3”, LI LLC’s senior unsecured rating from “B3” to “Caa2”,
and QVC’s senior secured debt ratings from “Ba3” to “B2.”

Qurate Retail and its subsidiaries are in compliance with their debt covenants as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, Qurate Retail's liquidity position consisted of the following:

To the extent that the Company recognizes any taxable gains from the sale of assets, we may incur tax expense
and be required to make tax payments, thereby reducing any cash proceeds. Additionally, we have $2.28 billion available
for borrowing under the Credit Facility at December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, QVC had approximately $204
million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash held in foreign subsidiaries that is available for domestic purposes
with no significant tax consequences upon repatriation to the U.S. QVC accrues taxes on the unremitted earnings of its
international subsidiaries. Approximately 76% of this foreign cash balance was that of QVC Japan. QVC owns 60% of
QVC Japan and shares all profits and losses with the 40% minority interest holder, Mitsui & Co, LTD.

F-10

Our cash generated by operating activities was significantly higher in 2023 than it was in 2022 due to receipt of
insurance proceeds and favorable working capital trends. We believe our businesses will continue to generate positive
cash from operating activities in future periods.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Qurate Retail's primary sources of cash were insurance proceeds of
$280 million, proceeds from the sales of fixed assets of $208 million, and proceeds of $71 million from disposition of
investments, partially offset by capital expenditures of $230 million, expenditure for television distribution rights of $113
million, and dividends paid to noncontrolling interest of $53 million.

The projected uses of Qurate Retail’s cash in the next year, outside of normal operating expenses (inclusive of
tax payments), are the costs to service outstanding debt including approximately $330 million for estimated interest
payments on corporate level and other subsidiary debt, anticipated capital improvement spending between $235 million
and $250 million, the repayment of certain debt obligations, payments related to television distribution rights, payment of
dividends to the holders of the Preferred Stock, and additional investments in existing or new businesses. The Company
also may be required to make net payments of income tax liabilities to settle items under discussion with tax authorities.
The Company expects that cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities in future periods and outstanding
borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund projected uses of cash.

The Company may from time to time repurchase any level of its outstanding debt through open market purchases,
privately negotiated transactions, redemptions, tender offers or otherwise. Repurchases or retirement of debt, if any, will
depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts
involved may be material.

On February 27, 2024, QVC delivered a notice of redemption to the trustee and holders of QVC’s 4.85% senior
secured notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). Pursuant to the notice of redemption, QVC expects to redeem the remaining
outstanding 2024 Notes in full on March 28, 2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Material Cash Requirements

In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by our Company, we may retain liabilities that relate to events
occurring prior to the sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. We generally indemnify the
purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by us. These
types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential
liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the
amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be
determined at this time. Historically, we have not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements
and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these
indemnification obligations.

We have contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course
of business. Although it is reasonably possible we may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any
loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be
required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

(1) Amounts are reflected in the table at the outstanding principal amount, assuming the debt instruments will remain
outstanding until the stated maturity date, and may differ from the amounts stated in our consolidated balance sheet
to the extent debt instruments (i) were issued at a discount or premium or (ii) have elements which are reported at fair
value in our consolidated balance sheets. Amounts do not assume additional borrowings or refinancings of existing
debt.

(2) Amounts (i) are based on our outstanding debt at December 31, 2023, (ii) assume the interest rates on our variable
rate debt remain constant at the December 31, 2023 rates and (iii) assume that our existing debt is repaid at maturity.

(3) This amount reflects the annual 8.0% dividend on shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and

redemption of the Preferred Stock on March 15, 2031.

(4) Amounts include open purchase orders for inventory and non-inventory purchases along with other material cash

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Listed below are the accounting estimates that we believe
are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved
and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. All of these accounting estimates and
assumptions, as well as the resulting impact to our financial statements, have been discussed with the audit committee of
the Board of Directors.

Fair Value Measurements of Non-Financial Instruments. Our non-financial instrument valuations are
primarily comprised of our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangible
assets, such as tradenames and our evaluation of the recoverability of our other long-lived assets upon certain triggering
events, and our determination of the estimated fair value allocation of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired in business combinations. If the carrying value of our long-lived assets exceeds their undiscounted cash flows,
we are required to write the carrying value down to fair value. Any such write down is included in impairment of long-
lived assets in our consolidated statements of operations. A high degree of judgment is required to estimate the fair value
of our long-lived assets. We may use quoted market prices, prices for similar assets, present value techniques and other
valuation techniques to prepare these estimates. We may need to make estimates of future cash flows and discount rates
as well as other assumptions in order to implement these valuation techniques. Due to the high degree of judgment involved
in our estimation techniques, any value ultimately derived from our long-lived assets may differ from our estimate of fair

F-12

value. As each of our operating segments has long-lived assets, this critical accounting policy affects the financial position
and results of operations of each segment.

As of December 31, 2023, the intangible assets not subject to amortization for each of our significant reportable

segments were as follows:

We perform our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other non-amortizable intangible
assets during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently, if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have
occurred. We utilize a qualitative assessment for determining whether a quantitative goodwill and other non-amortizable
intangible asset impairment analysis is necessary. The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount
as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In evaluating
goodwill on a qualitative basis the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting unit and evaluates other
relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an
indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there are any negative
macroeconomic conditions, industry specific conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing
business, management challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact company specific
performance in future periods. As part of the analysis the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain
reporting units that have been made at various points throughout the current and prior years for other purposes. In 2023 an
impairment of $326 million was recorded to QxH’s goodwill. In 2022, an impairment of $2,535 million was recorded to
QxH’s goodwill. In 2022 and 2021, impairments of $226 million and $233 million were recorded to Zulily’s goodwill,
respectively. No tradename impairments were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2022, an impairment
of $180 million was recorded to the QxH tradename (related to the tradename associated with HSN). In 2022 and 2021,
impairments of $140 million and $130 million were recorded to Zulily’s tradename, respectively.

Retail Related Adjustments and Allowances. QVC records adjustments and allowances for sales returns,
inventory obsolescence and uncollectible receivables. Each of these adjustments is estimated based on historical
experience. Sales returns are calculated as a percent of sales and are netted against revenue in its consolidated statements
of operations. Sales returns represented 16.3% and 15.3% of gross product revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively. The inventory obsolescence reserve is calculated as a percent of QVC's inventory at the end of a
reporting period based on, among other factors, the aging of its inventory balance, the likely method of disposition, and
the estimated recoverable values based on historical experience of inventory markdowns and liquidation. The change in
the reserve is included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023, QVC's
inventory was $860 million, which was net of the obsolescence reserve of $115 million. As of December 31, 2022, QVC’s
inventory was $1,035 million, which was net of the obsolescence reserve of $143 million. QVC's allowance for credit
losses is calculated as a percent of accounts receivable at the end of a reporting period, and is based on historical experience,
with the change in such allowance recorded as a provision for credit losses in selling, general and administrative expenses
in the consolidated statements of operations. Trade accounts receivable (including installment payment, credit card and
customer receivables) were $1,294 million and $1,319 million, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Allowance for credit losses related to uncollectible trade accounts receivable was $82 million and $87 million as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Each of these estimates requires management judgment and may not reflect
actual results.

Income Taxes. We are required to estimate the amount of tax payable or refundable for the current year and
the deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in our
financial statements or tax returns for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. This process requires our management
to make judgments regarding the timing and probability of the ultimate tax impact of the various agreements and

F-13

transactions that we enter into. Based on these judgments we may record tax reserves or adjustments to valuation
allowances on deferred tax assets to reflect the expected realizability of future tax benefits. Actual income taxes could vary
from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate,
our inability to generate sufficient future taxable income or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year's
liability by taxing authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position.

QVC

QVC is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-

focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications.

In the U.S., QVC's televised shopping programs, including live and recorded content, are distributed across
multiple channels nationally on a full-time basis, including QVC, QVC2, QVC3, HSN, and HSN2. The Company's U.S.
programming is also available on QVC.com and HSN.com, which we refer to as QVC's "U.S. websites"; virtual
multichannel video programming distributors (including Hulu + Live TV, DirectTV Stream and YouTube TV);
applications via streaming video; Facebook Live, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Xfinity Flex and Samsung TV Plus;

QVC's digital platforms enable consumers to purchase goods offered on its televised programming, along with a
wide assortment of products that are available only on its U.S. websites. QVC.com and its other digital platforms (including
its mobile applications, social media pages and others) are natural extensions of its business model, allowing customers to
engage in its shopping experience wherever they are, with live or on-demand content customized to the device they are
using. In addition to offering video content, QVC’s U.S. websites allow shoppers to browse, research, compare and perform
targeted searches for products, read customer reviews, control the order-entry process and conveniently access their
account.

Internationally, QVC's televised shopping programs, including live and recorded content, are distributed to
households outside of the U.S., primarily in Germany, Austria, Japan, the United Kingdom ("U.K."), the Republic of
Ireland, and Italy. In some of the countries where QVC operates, QVC's televised shopping programs are distributed across
multiple QVC channels: QVC Style and QVC2 in Germany and QVC Beauty, QVC Extra and QVC Style in the U.K.
Similar to the U.S., QVC’s international businesses also engage customers via websites, mobile applications and social
media pages. QVC's international business employs product sourcing teams who select products tailored to the interests of
each local market.

QVC's consolidated net revenue decreased 4.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the
corresponding prior year. The $438 million decrease in 2023 net revenue was primarily due to a 5.3% decrease in units
shipped across both segments, $40 million in unfavorable foreign exchange rates, a $41 million decrease in shipping and
handling revenue at QxH and to a lesser extent QVC International and a $55 million increase in estimated product returns
at QxH. These declines were partially offset by a 2.7% increase in average selling price (“ASP”) across both segments.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the change in revenue and expenses was affected by the change in the
exchange rates for the U.K. Pound Sterling, the Euro and the Japanese Yen. In the event the U.S. Dollar strengthens against
these foreign currencies in the future, QVC's revenue and operating cash flow will be negatively affected.

In discussing QVC’s operating results, the term “currency exchange rates” refers to the currency exchange rates
QVC uses to convert the operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. QVC
calculates the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated
using the prior period's currency exchange rates. Throughout this discussion, we refer to the results of this calculation as
the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. When we refer to “constant currency operating results”, this means
operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations. The disclosure of constant currency
amounts or results permits investors to understand better QVC’s underlying performance without the effects of currency
exchange rate fluctuations.

In 2023, the QxH net revenue decrease was primarily due to a 6.3% decrease in units shipped, a $55 million
increase in estimated product returns, and a $34 million decrease in shipping and handling revenue. These declines were
partially offset by a 3.1% increase in ASP. For the year ended December 31, 2023, QxH experienced shipped sales declines
across all categories. The increase in estimated product returns was primarily driven by higher return rates and shifts in
sales mix. QVC International net revenue decline in constant currency was primarily due to a 3.1% decrease in units
shipped across all markets except the U.K. and a $7 million decrease in shipping and handling revenue. These declines
were partially offset by a 2.3% increase in ASP driven by Germany and Japan. For the year ended December 31, 2023,
QVC International experienced shipped sales growth in constant currency in beauty and home with declines across all
other product categories.

QVC's cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue was 66.4%, and 68.3% for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue in 2023 is primarily due to
product margin expansion across both segments and lower inventory obsolescence and lower freight costs driven by QxH.
These decreases were partially offset by higher warehousing costs primarily in QVC International and to a lesser extent
QxH. Higher warehousing costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 are primarily due to higher rent expense of $33
million as a result of warehouses sold and leased back during the prior year and current period, partially offset by
favorability at QxH as a result of strains on our fulfillment network due to the loss of the Rocky Mount fulfillment center
impacting the prior year that did not recur at the same level in the current year.

QVC’s operating expenses are principally comprised of commissions, order processing and customer service
expenses, credit card processing fees, and telecommunications expenses. Operating expenses decreased $21 million or 3%
for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year. Operating expenses were 7.8% and 7.7% of net
revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in 2023 was primarily due to a
decrease of $19 million in personnel costs primarily at QxH, a decrease in credit card processing fees of $5 million
primarily at QxH and a $5 million decrease as a result of favorable exchange rates, partially offset by an increase of $10
million in commissions expense at QxH, primarily due to higher fixed MSO commission contracts.

QVC’s SG&A expenses excluding stock-based compensation include personnel, information technology,
provision for doubtful accounts, production costs and marketing and advertising expense. Such expenses increased $98
million, and were 14.5% of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the prior year.

The increase in 2023 was due to a $71 million increase in consulting fees, a $55 million increase in personnel
costs and an $8 million increase in rent, all of which were primarily driven by QxH. These increases were partially offset
by a $16 million decrease in estimated credit losses and a $12 million decrease in marketing costs, both primarily driven
by QxH. The decrease to estimated credit losses was due to an unfavorable adjustment recognized in the prior year
compared to favorable adjustments recognized in the current year based on actual collections experience, lower sales
volume and shifts in sales mix.

QVC recorded a gain of $196 million and a gain of $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively, in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of recoveries. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
gain related to a $240 million gain on insurance proceeds received in excess of fire losses and a $17 million gain on the
sale of the Rocky Mount property, partially offset by $32 million of other fire related costs, a Consumer Product Safety
Commission (“CPSC”) civil penalty of $16 million and $13 million of restructuring costs related to workforce reduction.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the gain primarily related to insurance proceeds received for inventory and fixed
asset losses partially offset by write-downs on Rocky Mount inventory and restructuring costs primarily related to
workforce reduction. Expenses indirectly related to the Rocky Mount fulfillment center fire, including operational
inefficiencies, are primarily included in Cost of goods sold.

F-16

QVC recorded $113 million of gains on sale of assets and sale leaseback transactions for the year ended
December 31, 2023. These gains primarily related to the sale leaseback of two owned and operated properties located in
Germany and the U.K. QVC recorded $520 million of gains on sale leaseback transactions for the year ended December 31,
2022. These gains related to the sale leaseback of six owned and operated U.S. properties.

QVC recorded an impairment loss of $326 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the decrease
in fair value of the QxH reporting unit as a result of the quantitative assessment that was performed by the Company (see
note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

QVC recorded an impairment loss of $2,715 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 related to the decrease
in the fair value of the HSN indefinite-lived tradename and the QxH reporting unit (see note 5 to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements).

Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to options and restricted stock granted to certain
officers and employees. QVC recorded $37 million and $36 million of stock-based compensation expense for the years
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $29 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the
corresponding prior year. Depreciation and amortization included $62 million of acquisition related amortization during
each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, depreciation
and amortization was primarily related to the six owned and operated U.S. properties sold and leased back during 2022
and the Germany and the U.K. properties sold and leased back during the first quarter of 2023, as well as lower channel
placement amortization and related expenses due to adjustments recognized related to lower subscriber counts and a
reduction in channel placement assets due to reduced contract terms, partially offset by an increase in software amortization
due to software additions including an enhancement to QVC's Enterprise Resource Planning system that was placed into
service in the second quarter of 2023.

CBI's consolidated net revenue decreased 11.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the
corresponding prior year, primarily attributable to a decrease in ASP and units shipped compared to the prior year. The
decrease in ASP was primarily the result of increased promotional activity.

F-17

CBI's cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue was 61.5% and 64.7% for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue decreased for the year ended December 31,
2023, compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower inbound logistics costs driven by lower storage fees and ocean
container rates.

CBI’s operating expenses are principally comprised of credit card fees and customer service expenses. Operating
expenses decreased $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the prior year, driven by decreased
credit card fees and customer service charges due to decreased revenue.

CBI’s SG&A expenses include print, digital and retail marketing. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A
increased to 28.8% from 25.7% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This increase is primarily
due to lower revenues compared to the prior year.

CBI’s stock-based compensation expense increased $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared

to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to a valuation adjustment.

CBI’s depreciation and amortization expense increased $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to increased capital investments, primarily in retail
stores and technology.

CBI had restructuring charges of $2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a corporate

restructuring in May 2023. The costs relate to severance expense and outplacement services.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial
activities and the conduct of operations by our subsidiaries in different foreign countries. Market risk refers to the risk of
loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can
be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established
policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments
to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which
include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund
business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future
requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we
believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We
have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to
maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate
swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2023, our debt is comprised of the following amounts:

Qurate Retail is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related primarily to the monetary assets and
liabilities and the financial results of QVC's foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which
the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the
statements of operations are generally translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on

F-18

translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. Dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to
as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings
(loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates
result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or
realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the
average rate for the period. Accordingly, Qurate Retail may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings
and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. QVC's reported
Adjusted OIBDA for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 would have been impacted by approximately $3
million, $4 million and $6 million, respectively, for every 1% change in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the
U.S. Dollar.

We periodically assess the effectiveness of our derivative financial instruments. With regard to interest rate swaps,
we monitor the fair value of interest rate swaps as well as the effective interest rate the interest rate swap yields, in
comparison to historical interest rate trends. We believe that any losses incurred with regard to interest rate swaps would
be largely offset by the effects of interest rate movements on the underlying debt facilities. These measures allow our
management to evaluate the success of our use of derivative instruments and to determine when to enter into or exit from
derivative instruments.

Reporting” there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the

F-19

Company’s quarter ended December 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

See “Controls and Procedures - Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and
“Controls and Procedures - Material Weakness in Internal Control” contained in the 2022 Annual Report for disclosure of
information about the material weakness that was reported as a result of the Company’s annual assessment as of
December 31, 2022 and remediation plans for that material weakness.

In response to the material weakness identified in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting as set forth in the 2022 Annual Report, the Company developed a plan with oversight from the audit committee
of the Board of Directors to remediate the material weakness. The remediation efforts implemented include the following:

• Enhanced the information technology general controls (“ITGC”) risk assessment process;
• Evaluated talent and addressing identified gaps;
• Delivered training on internal control over financial reporting;
•

Improved change management and logical access control activities that contributed to the ITGC material
weakness including removing all inappropriate information technology system access associated with the
ITGC material weakness;
Implemented user activity monitoring for control activities contributing to the ITGC material weakness; and
Implemented additional compensating control activities over the completeness and accuracy of data provided
by the affected systems.

•
•

For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed the testing and evaluation of the operating
effectiveness of the controls and determined that the controls were designed and operating effectively as of December 31,
2023. Accordingly, the Company concluded the previously reported material weakness was remediated as of December 31,
2023.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the
Company’s financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management, with participation of the Executives, under the oversight of the Company’s Board
of Directors, evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, using the
criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm audited the consolidated financial statements and

related notes in the Annual Report and issued an audit report on the Company's effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting. KPMG LLP’s report appears on page F-22 of this Annual Report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Qurate Retail, Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Qurate Retail, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity, for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and
our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Qurate Retail, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Qurate Retail, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as
of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash
flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes
(collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated
financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate
to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involve our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our
opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they
relate.

Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue

As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, and disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations,
the Company generated $10,915 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $6,995 million related
to QxH, $2,454 million related to QVC International, $1,165 million related to Cornerstone Brands, Inc., and $301 million
related to corporate and other revenue. The processing of these revenue streams is reliant upon multiple information
technology (IT) systems and the IT systems differ between revenue streams.

F-23

We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the
sufficiency of audit evidence required subjective auditor judgment due to the number of revenue streams and the highly
automated nature of certain processes to record revenue that involve interfacing significant volumes of data across multiple
IT systems. The complexity of the IT environment required the involvement of IT professionals with specialized skills and
knowledge.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment
to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over the processing and recording of revenue, including
the IT systems tested. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to
the processing and recording of revenue. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted
in testing certain general IT, manual, and automated internal controls over the IT systems used for the processing and
recording of revenue, as well as certain internal controls to reconcile information produced by the various systems to the
Company’s general ledger. We assessed the revenue recorded by comparing cash receipts, adjusted for reconciling items,
to the revenue recorded in the general ledger. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained over revenue by
assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of such evidence.

Fair value of the QxH reporting unit and tradenames with indefinite lives

As discussed in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s reporting units align with its
operating segments and the QxH operating segment goodwill balance was $2,367 million as of December 31, 2023.
Tradenames with indefinite lives were $2,698 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company performs goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing on an annual basis and more frequently if events and circumstances
indicated that the asset might be impaired. The fair value of the QxH reporting unit was determined using a discounted
cash flow method, and a goodwill impairment of $326 million was recorded. The fair value of tradenames with indefinite
lives was determined using the relief from royalty method. The goodwill impairment loss was recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2023.

We identified the evaluation of the fair values of the QxH reporting unit and tradenames with indefinite lives as a critical
audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the discount rates used to estimate the fair value of the
QxH reporting unit and tradenames with indefinite lives. Minor changes in these assumptions could have had a significant
impact on the fair values. Additionally, the evaluation of the discount rates required the involvement of professionals with
specialized skills and knowledge.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and
tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets impairment processes. This included a control related to the discount rate assumptions. In addition, we
involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the discount rates used
by management by comparing them to a range of independently developed discount rates using publicly available market
data for comparable companies.

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Qurate Retail, Inc. and its controlled
subsidiaries (collectively, "Qurate Retail," the "Company," “we,” “us,” and “our”) unless the context otherwise requires).
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Qurate Retail is made up of
wholly-owned subsidiaries QVC, Inc. (“QVC”), Cornerstone Brands, Inc. (“CBI”), and other cost method investments,
and is primarily engaged in the video and online commerce industries in North America, Europe and Asia.

Qurate Retail and GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI Liberty”) entered into a tax sharing agreement in connection with a
split-off transaction that occurred in the first quarter of 2018 (the “GCI Liberty Split-Off”). Pursuant to that tax sharing
agreement, GCI Liberty agreed to indemnify Qurate Retail for taxes and tax-related losses resulting from the GCI Liberty
Split-Off to the extent such taxes or tax-related losses (i) result primarily from, individually or in the aggregate, the breach
of certain restrictive covenants made by GCI Liberty (applicable to actions or failures to act by GCI Liberty and its
subsidiaries following the completion of the GCI Liberty Split-Off), or (ii) result from Section 355(e) of the Internal
Revenue Code applying to the GCI Liberty Split-Off as a result of the GCI Liberty Split-Off being part of a plan (or series
of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more persons acquire, directly or indirectly, a 50-percent or greater interest
(measured by vote or value) in the stock of GCI Liberty (or any successor corporation). Following a merger between
Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) and GCI Liberty, Liberty Broadband has assumed the tax sharing
agreement. Qurate Retail had a tax sharing payable of approximately $16 million and $18 million as of December 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively, included in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Qurate Retail and Liberty Media Corporation (“LMC”) entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain
of the ongoing relationships between the two companies. These agreements include a reorganization agreement, a services
agreement (the “Services Agreement”) and a facilities sharing agreement (the “Facilities Sharing Agreement”). Pursuant
to the Services Agreement, LMC provides Qurate Retail with general and administrative services including legal, tax,
accounting, treasury, information technology, cybersecurity, and investor relations support. See below for a description of
an amendment to the Services Agreement entered into in December 2019. Qurate Retail reimburses LMC for direct, out-
of-pocket expenses incurred by LMC in providing these services and for Qurate Retail's allocable portion of costs
associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to
Qurate Retail. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreement, Qurate Retail shares office space with LMC and related amenities
at LMC's corporate headquarters. Under these various agreements approximately $7 million, $7 million and $10 million
of these allocated expenses were reimbursable from Qurate Retail to LMC for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022
and 2021, respectively.

In December 2019, the Company entered into an amended services agreement. Under the amended services
agreement components of LMC’s Chief Executive’s Officer’s (“CEO”) compensation is either paid directly to him or
reimbursed to LMC, in each case, based on allocations set forth in the amended services agreement. For the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the allocation percentage for the Company was 11%, 13% and 17%, respectively.
See note 10 for additional information.

On November 4, 2021, Qurate Retail announced the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend (the
“November Special Dividend”) in the amount of $1.25 per common share for an aggregate cash dividend of approximately
$488 million based on shares outstanding as of October 31, 2021. The November Special Dividend was payable on
November 22, 2021 to stockholders of record of Qurate Retail’s Series A and Series B common stock as of the close of
business on November 15, 2021.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three

months or less at the time of acquisition.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are reflected net of an allowance for credit losses and sales returns. A provision for bad debts
is provided as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical experience in the period of sale and included in
selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”). A provision for vendor receivables are determined based on an
estimate of probable expected losses and included in cost of goods sold.

A summary of activity in the allowance for credit losses is as follows:

Inventory, consisting primarily of products held for sale, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the average cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Assessments about the
realizability of inventory require the Company to make judgments based on currently available information about the likely
method of disposition including sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, liquidations and the estimated
recoverable values of each disposition category. Inventory is stated net of inventory obsolescence reserves of $121 million
and $154 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

All of the Company's derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance
sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and

F-32

QURATE RETAIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow
hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive earnings
and are recognized in the statements of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes
in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in
the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings.

The Company generally enters into derivative contracts that it intends to designate as a hedge of a forecasted
transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge).
For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how
the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and
a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's
inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in
offsetting cash flows of hedged items. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated
and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent that the derivative
is effective as a hedge, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The
ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a derivative instrument that qualifies as a cash flow hedge is reported in
earnings.

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, is stated at amortized cost, less impairment losses,
if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 2 to 9 years for support
equipment and 8 to 20 years for buildings and improvements. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31,
2023, 2022 and 2021 was $102 million, $158 million and $167 million, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their
estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment upon certain triggering events. Goodwill and other intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives (collectively, "indefinite lived intangible assets") are not amortized, but instead are tested
for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed
during the fourth quarter of each year.

In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting
unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it was more

F-33

QURATE RETAIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. A reporting unit is defined in accounting
guidance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as an operating segment or one
level below an operating segment (also known as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit
if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management
regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company considers its reporting units to align with its
operating segments. The Company considers whether there are any negative macroeconomic conditions, industry specific
conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing business, management challenges, the legal
environments and how these factors might impact company specific performance in future periods. As part of the analysis
the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain reporting units that have been made at various points
throughout the current year and prior year for other purposes. If based on the qualitative analysis it is more likely than not
that an impairment exists, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying
value. Developing estimates of fair value requires significant judgments, including making assumptions about appropriate
discount rates, perpetual growth rates, relevant comparable market multiples, public trading prices and the amount and
timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in Qurate Retail's valuation analyses are based on
management's best estimates considering current marketplace factors and risks as well as assumptions of growth rates in
future years. There is no assurance that actual results in the future will approximate these forecasts.

The accounting guidance also permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is
more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. The accounting guidance
also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period
and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in
any subsequent period. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the
Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative assessment is
performed. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is
recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and its intangible assets
(other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate
that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the expected
undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset group, including its ultimate disposition, an impairment adjustment
is to be recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such asset groups exceeds their
fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar asset groups or by discounting
estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. Considerable management judgment is necessary to
estimate the fair value of asset groups. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Asset
groups to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company reports noncontrolling interests of subsidiaries within equity in the balance sheet and the amount
of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is presented in the statements of
operations. Also, changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries in which the Company maintains a controlling interest are
recorded in equity.

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of the Company's foreign
operations generally is the applicable local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of foreign
subsidiaries are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of
operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized
cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive earnings in stockholders' equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates
at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are
reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss) as unrealized
(based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. These realized and
unrealized gains and losses are reported in the Other, net line item in the consolidated statements of operations.

Consumer Product Revenue and Other Revenue. Qurate Retail's revenue includes sales of consumer products in
the following categories: home, beauty, apparel, accessories, electronics and jewelry, which are primarily sold through live
merchandise-focused televised shopping programs and via our websites and other interactive media, including catalogs.

Other revenue consists primarily of income generated from our company branded credit cards in which a large
consumer financial services company provides revolving credit directly to the Company’s customers for the sole purpose
of purchasing merchandise or services with these cards. In return, the Company receives a portion of the net economics
of the credit card program.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when obligations with our customers are satisfied; generally this
occurs at the time of shipment to our customers consistent with when control of the shipped product passes. The recognized
revenue reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods, net of allowances for returns.

The Company recognizes revenue related to its company branded credit cards over time as the credit cards are

used by Qurate Retail's customers.

Sales, value add, use and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from

revenue.

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control
of the goods as a fulfillment cost and not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the Company accrues the related
shipping costs and recognizes revenue upon delivery of goods to the shipping carrier. In electing this accounting policy,
all shipping and handling activities are treated as fulfillment costs.

The Company generally has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical

expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money.

Significant Judgments. Qurate Retail’s products are generally sold with a right of return and we may provide other
credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to
recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as

additional information becomes available. The Company has determined that it is the principal in vendor arrangements as
the Company can establish control over the goods prior to shipment. Accordingly, the Company records revenue for these
arrangements on a gross basis.

An allowance for returned merchandise is provided as a percentage of sales based on historical experience. Sales

tax collected from customers on retail sales is recorded on a net basis and is not included in revenue.

A summary of activity in the allowance for sales returns, is as follows:

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold primarily includes actual product cost, provision for obsolete inventory, buying allowances

received from suppliers, shipping and handling costs and warehouse costs.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs generally are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense aggregated $509 million, $548 million
and $560 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advertising costs are reflected in
the SG&A, including stock-based compensation line item in our consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

As more fully described in note 11, the Company has granted to its directors, employees and employees of its
subsidiaries options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights relating to shares of Qurate Retail and/or Liberty
Ventures common stock ("Qurate Retail common stock") (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of
employee services received in exchange for an Award of equity instruments (such as stock options and restricted stock)
based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the
employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of
employee services received in exchange for an Award of liability instruments (such as stock appreciation rights that will
be settled in cash) based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting
date.

Stock compensation expense, which was included in SG&A expense in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations, was $53 million, $60 million and $72 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and
2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value

F-37

QURATE RETAIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing
jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more likely than
not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes
interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest
expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any accrual of
penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in other income (expense) in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

The Company has operating leases, finance leases, and has entered into sale leaseback transactions. Refer to

note 7 for a discussion on accounting for leases and other financial disclosures.

Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Qurate Retail Stockholders and Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per
share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented.

Series A and Series B Common Stock

EPS for all periods through December 31, 2023, is based on the following WASO. Excluded from diluted EPS
for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are approximately 26 million, 33 million and 24 million potentially
dilutive common shares, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current year presentation.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of repurchases of Series A common stock, the Company’s
additional paid-in capital balance was in a deficit position in certain quarterly periods. In order to maintain a zero balance
in the additional paid-in capital account, we reclassified the amount of the deficit at December 31, 2021 to retained
earnings.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Qurate
Retail considers (i) fair value measurements of non-financial instruments, (ii) accounting for income taxes and
(iii) estimates of retail-related adjustments and allowances to be its most significant estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment
disclosure requirements, primarily through additional disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods
presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the disclosure requirements related to
the new standard.

In December 2023, the FASB

to Income Tax Disclosures, which
issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements
requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about
their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure
requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The effective date for
the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the
process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the related disclosures.

(4) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2
inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have any recurring
assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

The majority of the Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are debt instruments with quoted market
prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in GAAP. Accordingly, the debt instruments are
reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value.

Pursuant to an indemnification agreement initially entered into by GCI Liberty and assumed by Liberty
Broadband in connection with a merger between the two companies, Liberty Broadband had agreed to indemnify Liberty
Interactive LLC (“LI LLC”) for certain payments made to holders of LI LLC’s 1.75% exchangeable senior debentures
due 2046 (the “1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures”). An indemnity asset in the amount of $281 million was recorded
upon completion of the GCI Liberty Split-Off. The remaining indemnification to LI LLC for certain payments made to
holders of the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures pertained to the holders’ ability to exercise their exchange right
according to the terms of the debentures on or before October 5, 2023. Such amount equaled the difference between the
exchange value and the sum of the adjusted principal amount of the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and estimated
tax benefits resulting from the exchange at the time the exchange occurred. The indemnification asset recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 represented the fair value of the estimated exchange feature included
in the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures primarily based on observable market data as significant inputs (Level 2).
As of December 31, 2023, all remaining 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures were either retired or exchanged and
indemnification payments of $45 million were made by Liberty Broadband to the Company in connection with exchanges
of $330 million of the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures that settled in the period.

The Company has elected to account for its exchangeable debt using the fair value option. Changes in the fair
value of the exchangeable senior debentures recognized in the consolidated statement of operations are primarily due to
market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable.
The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to the change in the instrument specific credit
risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the exchangeable
senior debentures attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk were gains of $50 million, gains of $341
million and losses of $44 million, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses, for the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized
$60 million of previously unrecognized gains related to the retirement of a portion of the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior
Debentures, which was recognized through realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net on the
consolidated statement of operations. The cumulative change was a gain of $539 million as of December 31, 2023, net of
the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.

The weighted average life of these amortizable intangible assets was approximately nine years at the time of
acquisition. However, amortization is expected to match the usage of the related asset and will be on an accelerated basis
as demonstrated in table below.

Amortization expense for intangible assets with finite useful lives was $305 million, $323 million and $352
million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Based on its amortizable intangible assets as

Impairments

During the fourth quarter of 2023, it was determined that an indication of impairment existed for the QxH
reporting unit. With the assistance of a third party specialist, the fair value of the QxH reporting unit was determined using
a discounted cash flow method (Level 3), and a goodwill impairment, in the amount of $326 million, was recorded to
impairment of intangible assets in the consolidated statements of operations. Based on the impairment losses recorded
during the year, the estimated fair value of the QxH reporting unit does not significantly exceed its carrying value as of
December 31, 2023.

During the third quarter of 2022, as a result of recent financial performance and macroeconomic conditions
including inflation and higher interest rates, the Company initiated a process to evaluate its current business model and
long-term business strategy. It was determined during the third quarter of 2022 that an indication of impairment existed
for the QxH and Zulily reporting units related to their tradenames and goodwill. With the assistance of a third party
specialist, the fair value of the tradenames was determined using the relief from royalty method, primarily using a
discounted cash flow model using QxH’s and Zulily’s projections of future operating performance (income approach) and
applying a royalty rate (market approach) (Level 3), and impairments in the amounts of $180 million and $140 million for
QxH (related to the tradename associated with the HSN brand) and Zulily, respectively, were recorded during the third
quarter of 2022, in the impairment of intangible assets line item in the consolidated statements of operations. With the
assistance of a third party specialist, the fair value of the QxH and Zulily reporting units was determined using a discounted
cash flow method (Level 3), and goodwill impairments in the amounts of $2,535 million and $226 million for QxH and

Zulily, respectively, were recorded during the third quarter of 2022, in the impairment of intangible assets line item in the
consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2021, Zulily’s business deteriorated significantly. The same process
discussed above was followed and as a result, an impairment of the tradename and goodwill for the amounts of
$130 million and $233 million, respectively, were recorded in the impairment of intangible assets line item in the
consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2023 the Company had accumulated goodwill impairment losses of $2,861 million attributed

to the QxH reporting unit.

Debentures consist of 0.3309 shares of common stock of T-Mobile, and 0.7860 shares of common stock of Lumen
Technologies. LI LLC may, at its election, pay the exchange value in cash, T-Mobile and Lumen Technologies common
stock or a combination thereof. LI LLC, at its option, may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, for cash generally
equal to the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued interest. As a result of various principal payments made to
holders of the 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures, the adjusted principal amount of each $1,000 debenture is $906 as of
December 31, 2023.

Each $1,000 debenture of LI LLC's 3.75% exchangeable senior debentures due 2030 (“3.75% Exchangeable
Senior Debentures”) was exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 2.3578 shares of Sprint common stock and
0.5746 shares of Lumen Technologies common stock. Following the TMUS/S Acquisition, each $1,000 debenture of
LI LLC’s 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures is exchangeable at the holder’s option for the value of 0.2419 shares of
T-Mobile common stock and 0.5746 shares of Lumen Technologies common stock. LI LLC may, at its election, pay the
exchange value in cash, T-Mobile and Lumen Technologies common stock or a combination thereof. LI LLC, at its option,
may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, for cash generally equal to the principal amount of the debentures plus
accrued interest. As a result of various principal payments made to holders of the 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures,
the adjusted principal amount of each $1,000 debenture is $933 as of December 31, 2023. On February 15, 2024, the
Company completed the semiannual interest payment of $18.75 per $1,000 debenture and made an additional distribution
of $0.1572 per debenture, resulting in an ending principal amount for each $1,000 debenture of $932 as of February 15,
2024.

LI LLC issued the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures. Each $1,000 debenture was exchangeable at the
holder’s option for the value of 2.9317 shares of Charter Class A common stock. Pursuant to a supplemental indenture
entered into in July 2023, LI LLC was required to deliver solely cash to satisfy its obligations. The number of shares of
Charter Class A common stock attributable to a debenture represented an initial exchange price of approximately
$341.10 per share. In October 2023, LI LLC redeemed the debentures, for cash generally equal to the principal amount of
the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures plus accrued interest. All of the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures were
either retired or exchanged as of December 31, 2023 for total principal amount of $330 million. See note 4 for additional
information about the 1.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures.

As part of a common control transaction with QVC completed in December 2020, QVC Global Corporate
Holdings, LLC (“QVC Global”), a subsidiary of QVC, became the primary co-obligor of LI LLC’s 3.5% exchangeable
senior debentures (the “Motorola Exchangeables”), allowing the Motorola Exchangeables to be serviced direct by cash
generated from QVC’s foreign operations. Concurrently, LI LLC issued a promissory note to QVC Global with an initial
principal amount of $1.8 billion, a stated annual interest rate of 0.48% and a maturity of December 29, 2029. Interest on
the promissory note is to be paid annually beginning on December 29, 2021. On December 29, 2021, LI LLC repaid $85
million principal amount of the promissory note along with a $9 million annual interest payment. Each $1,000 debenture
of the Motorola Exchangeables was exchangeable at the holder's option for the value of 5.2598 shares of Motorola
Solutions, Inc. (“MSI”). The exchange value was payable, at QVC Global's option, in cash or MSI stock or a combination
thereof. QVC Global had the option to redeem the Motorola Exchangeables, in whole or in part, for cash generally equal
to the adjusted principal amount of the Motorola Exchangeables plus accrued interest. On October 27, 2021, a notice was
issued to all holders to redeem any and all outstanding Motorola Exchangeables on December 13, 2021. Bondholders had
until the close of business on December 10, 2021 to exchange their bonds. During the fourth quarter of 2021, QVC Global
delivered MSI shares, which were acquired pursuant to a forward purchase contract, to the holders of the Motorola
Exchangeables with a fair value of approximately $573 million to settle the exchanges of the Motorola Exchangeables.

For holders who did not participate in the exchange, their bonds were redeemed on December 13, 2021 at adjusted
principal, plus accrued interest and dividend pass-thru for a total cash payment of approximately $1 million. No Motorola
Exchangeables remained outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

Qurate Retail has elected to account for all of its exchangeables using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes
in the fair value of these instruments are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statements of operations. On a
quarterly basis, Qurate Retail determines whether a triggering event has occurred to require current classification of certain
exchangeables, as discussed below.

The Company has classified the debentures that could be redeemed for cash as a current liability because the
Company does not own shares to exchange the debentures or they are currently exchangeable. The Company also reviews
the terms of the debentures on a quarterly basis to determine whether a triggering event for an open exchange window has
occurred, which requires current classification of the exchangeables as the exchange is at the option of the holder.
Exchangeable senior debentures classified as current totaled $219 million at December 31, 2023.

Interest on the Company's exchangeable debentures is payable semi-annually based on the date of issuance. At

maturity, all of the Company's exchangeable debentures are payable in cash.

Senior Debentures

Interest on the 8.5% senior debentures due 2029 and the 8.25% senior debentures due 2030 (collectively, the
“Senior Debentures”) is payable semi-annually based on the date of issuance. The Senior Debentures are stated net of
aggregate unamortized discount and issuance costs of $3 million at December 31, 2023 and $3 million at December 31,
2022. Such discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.

QVC Senior Secured Notes

During prior years, QVC issued $750 million principal amount of 4.375% senior secured notes due 2023 at an
issue price of 99.968%, $600 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes at an issue price of 99.927%, $600 million
principal amount of 4.45% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.860%, $400 million
principal amount 5.45% senior secured notes due 2034 at an issue price of 99.784%, $300 million principal amount of
5.95% senior secured notes due 2043 at an issue price of 99.973%, $225 million of 6.375% senior notes due 2067 (the
“2067 Notes”) at par, and $500 million of the 6.25% senior secured notes due 2068 (“2068 Notes”) at par.

During the second quarter of 2023, QVC purchased $177 million of the outstanding 2024 Notes and $15 million
of the outstanding 2025 Notes. As a result of the repurchases, QVC recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt, included
in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of
December 31, 2023, the remaining outstanding 2024 Notes are classified within the current portion of long term debt as
they mature in less than one year.

On February 27, 2024, QVC delivered a notice of redemption to the trustee and holders of the 2024 Notes.
Pursuant to the notice of redemption, QVC expects to redeem the remaining outstanding 2024 Notes in full on March 28,
2024.

The senior secured notes contain certain covenants, including certain restrictions on QVC and its restricted
subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating

liens on property or assets; making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends
and other restricted payments; consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale
or leaseback transactions; and restricting subsidiary distributions.

The senior secured notes permit QVC to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments so long as QVC
is not in default under the indentures governing the senior secured notes and QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio is not
greater than 3.5 to 1.0 (the “senior secured notes leverage basket”). As of December 31, 2023, QVC’s consolidated
leverage ratio (as calculated under QVC’s senior secured notes) was greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and as a result QVC is restricted
in its ability to make dividends or other restricted payments under the senior secured notes. Although QVC will not be
able to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments under the senior secured notes leverage basket, QVC will
continue to be permitted to make unlimited dividends to parent entities of QVC to service the principal and interest when
due in respect of indebtedness of such parent entities (so long as there is no default under the indentures governing QVC’s
senior secured notes) and permitted to make certain restricted payments to Qurate Retail under an intercompany tax sharing
agreement in respect of certain tax obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries.

Credit Facility

On October 27, 2021, QVC amended and restated its latest credit agreement (as amended and restated, the “Fifth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) and refinanced the Credit Facility by entering into the Fifth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement with Zulily, CBI, and QVC Global, each a direct or indirect (or former, in the case of Zulily)
wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail, as borrowers (QVC, Zulily, CBI and QVC Global, collectively, the
“Borrowers”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties named therein. In connection
with the Zulily divestiture (see note 1), Zulily is no longer a co-borrower in the Credit Facility, and Zulily repaid its
outstanding borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement using cash contributed from Qurate
Retail, which was approximately $80 million.

The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is a multi-currency facility providing for a $3.25 billion
revolving credit facility, with a $450 million sub-limit for letters of credit and an alternative currency revolving sub-limit
equal to 50% of the revolving commitments thereunder. The Credit Facility may be borrowed by any Borrower, with
each Borrower jointly and severally liable for the outstanding borrowings. Borrowings under the Fifth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either the ABR Rate or a LIBOR-based rate (or the applicable non-U.S. Dollar
equivalent rate) (such rate, the “Term Benchmark/RFR Rate”) at the applicable Borrower’s election in each case plus a
margin. Borrowings that are ABR Rate loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the base rate plus a margin that
varies between 0.25% and 0.625% depending on the Borrowers’ combined ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated
EBITDA (the “consolidated leverage ratio”). Borrowings that are Term Benchmark/RFR Rate loans will bear interest at a
per annum rate equal to the applicable rate plus a margin that varies between 1.25% and 1.625% depending on the
Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio. Each loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without penalty other
than customary breakage costs. No mandatory prepayments will be required other than when borrowings and letter of
credit usage exceed availability; provided that, if CBI, QVC Global or any other borrower under the Credit Facility (other
than QVC) is removed, at the election of QVC, as a borrower thereunder, all of its loans must be repaid and its letters of
credit are terminated or cash collateralized. Any amounts prepaid on the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

On June 20, 2023, QVC, QVC Global and CBI, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative
agent, and the other parties thereto entered into an agreement whereby, in accordance with the Fifth Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, LIBOR-based rate loans denominated in U.S. dollars made on or after June 30, 2023 would be replaced
with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” ) based rate loans. Borrowings that are SOFR-based loans will bear
interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate, plus a credit spread adjustment, plus a margin that varies
between 1.25% and 1.625% depending on the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio.

The loans under the Credit Facility are scheduled to mature on October 27, 2026. Payment of the loans may be

accelerated following certain customary events of default.

The payment and performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement are guaranteed by each of QVC’s, QVC Global’s, and CBI’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), if any, and certain other subsidiaries of any Borrower that such Borrower
has chosen to provide guarantees. Further, the borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are
secured, pari passu with QVC’s existing notes, by a pledge of all of QVC’s equity interests. The borrowings under the
Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are also secured by a pledge of all of CBI’s equity interests.

The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants,
including certain restrictions on the Borrowers and each of their respective restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain
exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on property or assets;
making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends and other restricted payments;
dissolving, consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale or leaseback
transactions; restricting subsidiary distributions; and limiting the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio.

Borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used to repay outstanding
indebtedness, pay certain fees and expenses, finance working capital needs and general purposes of the Borrowers and
their respective subsidiaries and make certain restricted payments and loans to the Borrowers’ respective parents and
affiliates.

Availability under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at December 31, 2023 was $2.28 billion,
including outstanding trade and standby letters of credit, on which CBI may also borrow. The interest rates on the Fifth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were 7.03%, 5.75%, and 1.5% at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.

Debt Covenants

Qurate Retail and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all debt covenants at December 31, 2023.

Fair Value of Debt

Qurate Retail estimates the fair value of its debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues
or on the current rate offered to Qurate Retail for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2). The 2067 Notes and
2068 Notes are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Company considers them to be actively traded. As such,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

the 2067 Notes and 2068 Notes are valued based on their trading price (Level 1). The fair value, based on quoted prices of
instruments not considered to be active markets, of Qurate Retail's publicly traded debt securities that are not reported at
fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is as follows (amounts in millions):

Due to the variable rate nature, Qurate Retail believes that the carrying amount of its subsidiary debt not discussed

above approximated fair value at December 31, 2023.

(7) Leases

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future lease
payments over the expected lease term. As for most leases the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses
a discount rate in determining the present value of future payments based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate
on a collateralized basis aligning with the term of the lease. Our lease agreements include both lease and non-lease
components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component. The Company’s leases have base rent periods
and some with optional renewal periods. Leases with base rent periods of less than 12 months are not recorded on the
balance sheet. For purposes of measurement of lease liabilities, the expected lease terms may include renewal options
when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.

Leases with an initial term greater than twelve months are classified as either finance or operating. Finance leases
are generally those that we substantially use or pay for the entire asset over its estimated useful life and are recorded in
property and equipment. All other leases are categorized as operating leases and recorded in operating lease right-of-use
assets.

We have entered into sale leaseback transactions. To determine whether the transaction should be accounted for
as a sale, we evaluate whether control of the asset has transferred to a third party. If the transfer of the asset is determined
to be a sale, we recognize the transaction price for the sale based on cash proceeds received, derecognize the carrying
amount of the asset sold, and recognize a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations for any difference between
the carrying value of the asset and the transaction price. The leaseback is accounted for according to our lease policy
discussed above. If the transfer of the asset is not determined to be a sale, we account for the transaction as a financing
arrangement.

The Company has finance lease agreements with transponder and transmitter network suppliers for the right to
transmit its signals. The Company is also party to a finance lease agreement for data processing hardware and a
warehouse. The Company also leases data processing equipment, facilities, office space, retail space and land. These
leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based
on the present value of the future lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate.

Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 19 years, some of which may include
the option to extend for up to 20 years, and some of which include options to or terminate the leases within less than one
year.

In June 2022, QVC modified the finance lease for its distribution center in Ontario, California which reduced the
term of the lease and removed QVC’s ability to take ownership of the distribution center at the end of the lease term. QVC
will make annual payments over the modified lease term. Since the lease was modified and removed QVC’s ability to take
ownership at the end of the lease term, the Company accounted for the modification similar to a sale and leaseback
transaction, and as a result, QVC received net cash proceeds of $250 million and recognized a $240 million gain on the
sale of the distribution center during the second quarter of 2022 calculated as the difference between the aggregate
consideration received (including cash and forgiveness of the remaining financing obligation of $84 million) and the
carrying value of the distribution center. The gain is included in gains on sale of assets and sale leaseback transactions in
the consolidated statement of operations. The Company accounted for the modified lease as an operating lease and recorded
a $37 million right-of-use asset and a $31 million operating lease liability, with the difference attributable to prepaid rent.

In December 2023, QVC modified the lease for its distribution center in Ontario, California pursuant to which
QVC extended the term of the lease through December 31, 2030 with an option to renew the lease for an additional 3-year
term ending December 31, 2033.

In July 2022, QVC sold five owned and operated properties located in the U.S. to an independent third party and
received net cash proceeds of $443 million. Concurrent with the sale, QVC entered into agreements to lease each of the
properties back from the purchaser over an initial term of 20 years with the option to extend the terms of the property
leases for up to four consecutive terms of five years. QVC recognized a $277 million gain related to the successful sale
leaseback for the year ended December 31, 2022, calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received
and the carrying value of the properties. The Company accounted for the leases as operating leases and recorded a
$207 million right-of-use asset and a $205 million operating lease liability, with the difference attributable to initial direct
costs.

In November 2022, QVC entered into agreements to sell two properties located in Germany and the U.K. to an
independent third party. Under the terms of the agreements, QVC received net cash proceeds of $102 million related to its
German facility and $80 million related to its U.K. facility when the sale closed in January 2023. QVC recorded a gain of
$69 million and $44 million related to the successful sale leaseback of the German and U.K. properties, respectively,
during the first quarter of 2023 calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the carrying
value of the properties. QVC accounted for the leases as operating at the close of the sale leaseback transaction and recorded
a $42 million and $32 million right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for the German and U.K. properties,
respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, the related assets of $71 million were classified as held for sale, and included in other
assets, at cost, net of accumulated amortization in the consolidated balance sheet, as the proceeds from the sale were used
to repay a portion of the Credit Facility borrowings which were classified as noncurrent as of December 31, 2022. Qurate
Retail classifies obligations as current when they are contractually required to be satisfied in the next twelve months.

On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional
amount of $167 million to mitigate the foreign currency risk associated with the sale and leaseback of Germany and U.K.
properties. The forward did not qualify as a cash flow hedge under U.S. GAAP. Changes in the fair value of the forward
are reflected in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net in the consolidated statements of
operations. The forward expired in January 2023 and was in a net liability position of $10 million as of December 31,
2022, which was included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The contracts expired in January 2023
which resulted in a net cash settlement of $12 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, income tax expense was greater than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due
to state income tax expense, foreign income tax expense, the impairment of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes,
non-deductible interest expense related to Preferred Stock, and stock compensation, partially offset by tax benefits from a
decrease in effective tax rate used to measure deferred taxes.

For 2022, the most significant portion of the losses before income taxes relates to a goodwill impairment that is

not deductible for tax purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, income tax expense was greater than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due
to state income tax expense, foreign income tax expense, the impairment of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes,
and non-deductible interest expense related to Preferred Stock, partially offset by benefits from tax credits generated by
our alternative energy investments.

During November and December of 2021, the Company, through a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, recognized
income related to the exchange and redemption of the outstanding Motorola Exchangeables and the extinguishment of
related hedges. The income is subject to tax under the U.S Global Intangible Low-taxed Income (“GILTI”) rules. The tax
effect of this GILTI income, including the federal tax benefit of related foreign tax credits, is treated by the Company as a
period cost. In addition, the Company recorded a U.S. federal tax benefit for foreign derived intangible income deductions
claimed on royalty income recognized by the Company in the U.S. during 2021. The tax effect of these items is included
in Tax on foreign earnings, net of federal tax benefit in the above table.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $297 million for net operating losses and
interest expense carryforwards. If not utilized to reduce income tax liabilities in future periods, $143 million of these loss
carryforwards will expire at various times between 2024 and 2043. The remaining $154 million of losses and interest
expense carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely. These carryforwards are expected to be utilized by the
Company, except for $180 million which, based on current projections, will not be utilized in the future and are subject to
a valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $99 million for foreign tax credit
carryforwards. If not utilized to reduce income tax liabilities in future periods, these foreign tax credit carryforwards will
expire at various times between 2026 and 2033. The Company estimates that $82 million of its foreign tax credit
carryforward will expire without utilization.

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company had recorded tax reserves of $67 million, $97 million
and $88 million, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. If such tax benefits were to
be recognized for financial statement purposes, $53 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, would be reflected in
the Company's tax expense and affect its effective tax rate. Qurate Retail's estimate of its unrecognized tax benefits related
to uncertain tax positions requires a high degree of judgment. The Company has tax positions for which the amount of
related unrecognized tax benefits could change during 2024. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to these
issues could change as a result of potential settlements, lapsing of statute of limitations and revisions of estimates. It is
reasonably possible that the amount of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve
months by up to $1 million.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's tax years prior to 2020 are closed for federal income tax purposes, and
the IRS has completed its examination of the Company's 2020 and 2021 tax years. However, 2020 and 2021 remain open
until the statute of limitations lapses on October 15 of 2024 and 2025, respectively. The Company's 2022 and 2023 tax
years are being examined currently as part of the IRS's Compliance Assurance Process ("CAP") program. Various states
and foreign jurisdictions are currently examining the Company's prior years’ state and foreign income tax returns.

The Company recorded $6 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the year
ended December 31, 2023, $33 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and $28 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021.

(9) Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

On September 14, 2020, Qurate Retail issued its Preferred Stock. There were 13,500,000 shares of Preferred
Stock authorized and 12,706,843 shares and 12,673,216 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.

Priority. The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of Qurate Retail common stock, with respect to dividend
rights, rights of redemption and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of Qurate Retail’s affairs. Shares of Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of Qurate Retail common
stock.

Dividends. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive quarterly cash dividends at a rate of 8.0% per
annum of the liquidation price (as described below) on a cumulative basis, during the term. If declared, accrued dividends

F-55

QURATE RETAIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

will be payable quarterly on each dividend payment date, beginning December 15, 2020 and thereafter on each March 15,
June 15, September 15, and December 15 during the term (or, if such date is not a business day, the next business day after
such date). If Qurate Retail fails to pay dividends or the applicable redemption price with respect to any redemption within
30 days after the applicable dividend payment or redemption date, the dividend rate will increase as provided by the
Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). Accrued dividends that are not paid
within 30 days after the applicable dividend payment date will be added to the liquidation price until paid together with all
dividends accrued thereon.

The ability of Qurate Retail to declare or pay any dividend on, or purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire, any of
its common stock or any other stock ranking on parity with the Preferred Stock will be subject to restrictions if Qurate
Retail does not pay all dividends and all redemption payments on the Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions as set
forth in the Certificate of Designations.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared and paid four quarterly cash
dividends, each for $2.00 per share to stockholders of record of the Preferred Stock. On February 13, 2024, the Company
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.00 per share, which will be payable in cash on March 15, 2024 to stockholders of
record of the Preferred Stock at the close of business on February 29, 2024.

Distributions upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon Qurate Retail’s liquidation, winding-up or
dissolution, each holder of shares of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any distribution is made to the
holders of Qurate Retail common stock, an amount equal to the liquidation price plus all unpaid dividends (whether or not
declared) accrued from the immediately preceding dividend payment date, subject to the prior payment of liabilities owed
to Qurate Retail’s creditors and the preferential amounts to which any stock senior to the Preferred Stock is entitled. The
Preferred Stock has a liquidation price equal to the sum of (i) $100, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or
not declared) that have been added to the liquidation price.

Mandatory and Optional Redemption. The Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption on March 15,
2031 at the liquidation price plus all unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) accrued from the most recent dividend
payment date. On or after the fifth anniversary of September 14, 2020 (the “Original Issue Date”), Qurate Retail may
redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, at the liquidation price plus all unpaid dividends
(whether or not declared) accrued from the most recent dividend payment date plus, if the redemption is (x) on or after the
fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date but prior to its sixth anniversary, 4.00% of the liquidation price, (y) on or after
the sixth anniversary of the Original Issue Date but prior to its seventh anniversary, 2.00% of the liquidation price and
(z) on or after the seventh anniversary of the Original Issue Date, zero. Both mandatory and optional redemptions must be
paid in cash.

Voting Power. Holders of the Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights or powers, except as specified in

the Certificate of Designations or as required by Delaware law.

Preferred Stock Directors. So long as the aggregate liquidation price of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock
exceeds 25% of the aggregate liquidation price of the shares of Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date, holders
of Preferred Stock will have certain director election rights as described in the Certificate of Designations whenever
dividends on shares of Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for two consecutive dividend periods and whenever
Qurate Retail fails to pay the applicable redemption price in full with respect to any redemption of the Preferred Stock or
fails to make a payment with respect to the Preferred Stock in connection with a liquidation or Extraordinary Transactions
(as defined in the Certificate of Designations).

Recognition. As the Preferred Stock is subject to unconditional mandatory redemption in cash and was issued in
the form of a share, the Company concluded the Preferred Stock was a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument and
should be classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The Preferred Stock was initially recorded at its fair
value, which was determined to be the liquidation preference of $100 per share. Given the liability classification of the
Preferred Stock, all dividends accrued are classified as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The
fair value of the Preferred Stock (level 1) was $457 million and $434 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.

Common Stock

Series A common stock has one vote per share, and Series B common stock has ten votes per share. Each share
of the Series B common stock is exchangeable at the option of the holder for one share of Series A common stock. The
Series A and Series B common stock participate on an equal basis with respect to dividends and distributions.

At an annual meeting of stockholders held on June 2, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment
to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation that increased (i) the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock
which the Company will have the authority to issue to 9,015 million shares, (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s
capital stock designated as “Common Stock” to 8,965 million shares and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock
designated as “Series A Liberty Ventures Common Stock,” “Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock” and “Series C
Liberty Ventures Common Stock” to 400 million shares, 15 million shares and 400 million shares, respectively.

At an annual meeting of stockholders held on May 23, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved an
amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which (i) eliminated the tracking stock capitalization structure of
the Company and (ii) reclassified each outstanding share of Series A and Series B QVC Group common stock into one
share of our Series A and Series B common stock, respectively. In addition, the amendment to the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation changed (i) the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock which the Company will have the
authority to issue to 8,200 million shares, (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock designated as “Common
Stock” to 8,150 million shares, (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock designated as “Series A Common Stock,”
“Series B Common Stock” and “Series C Common Stock” to 4,000 million shares, 150 million shares and 4,000 million
shares, respectively, and (iv) the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock designated as “Preferred Stock” to 50
million shares.

As of December 31, 2023, Qurate Retail reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options
approximately 23.5 million shares of Series A common stock and approximately 0.7 million shares of Series B common
stock.

In addition to the Series A and Series B common stock, there are 4 billion shares of Series C common stock
authorized for issuance, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, no shares of any Series C common stock were issued or
outstanding.

Purchases of Common Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 41,153,205 shares of Series A common
stock for aggregate cash consideration of $435 million. There were no shares of Series A common stock repurchased
during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

All of the foregoing shares were repurchased pursuant to a previously announced share repurchase program and

have been retired and returned to the status of authorized and available for issuance.

(10) Related Party Transactions with Officers and Directors

Chairman Compensation Arrangement

In December 2019, LMC entered into a new employment arrangement with Gregory B. Maffei, our Chairman.
The arrangement provides for a five year employment term which began on January 1, 2020 and ends December 31, 2024,
with an annual base salary of $3 million (with no contracted increase), a one-time cash commitment bonus of $5 million
(paid in December 2019), an annual target cash performance bonus of $17 million (with payment subject to the
achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s Compensation Committee),
upfront equity awards and annual equity awards (as described below).

The Chairman was entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate GDFV of $90 million (the “Upfront
Awards”) which were granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche consisted of time-vested stock options from each of
Qurate Retail, LMC, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) from Liberty
TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“Liberty TripAdvisor”) (collectively, the “2019 term awards”) that vested, in each case, on
December 31, 2023 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested RSUs, which vested on December 15, 2023). The
second tranche of the Upfront Awards consisted of time-vested stock options from each of LMC, Qurate Retail, Liberty
Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested RSUs from Liberty TripAdvisor (collectively, the “2020 term awards”) that
vest, in each case, on December 31, 2024 (except Liberty TripAdvisor’s award of time-vested RSUs, which vests on
December 7, 2024), subject to the Chairman’s continued employment, except under certain circumstances.

The Chairman is also entitled to receive annual equity award grants with an annual aggregate GDFV of $17.5
million, consisting of time-vested options, performance-based RSUs or a combination of both, at the election of the
Chairman. The annual equity awards are granted directly by Qurate Retail, LMC, Liberty Broadband, Atlanta Braves
Holdings, Inc. and Liberty TripAdvisor according to their applicable allocation percentage. The allocation percentage is
determined based on a combination of (1) relative market capitalizations, weighted 50%, and (2) a blended average of
historical time allocation on an LMC-wide and Chairman basis, weighted 50%, in each case, absent agreement to the
contrary by Qurate Retail, LMC, Liberty Broadband, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. and Liberty TripAdvisor in
consultation with the Chairman. The allocation percentage is then adjusted annually and following certain events. For the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the allocation percentage for Qurate Retail was 11%, 13% and 17%,
respectively. Vesting of any annual performance-based RSUs is subject to the achievement of one or more performance
metrics to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the applicable company with respect to its respective allocable
portion of the annual performance-based RSUs.

CEO Employment Agreement

On July 12, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Qurate Retail approved the
Company’s entry into an employment agreement with David Rawlinson II, effective July 12, 2021. Effective October 1,

Malone Stock Exchange and Maffei Arrangements

On May 18, 2021, Gregory B. Maffei, the Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company, delivered a
written offer (the “Offer”) to John C. Malone, a director of Qurate Retail, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Series
B common stock (“QRTEB”) beneficially owned by Mr. Malone, his wife Leslie Malone and certain trusts for the benefit
of Mr. Malone, Mrs. Malone and/or their children (the “Malone Group,” and such shares, the “Subject Shares”) at a per
share price of $14.00 payable in cash, securities or such other form of consideration as to which Mr. Maffei and
Mr. Malone might mutually agree. The transfer by the Malone Group of the Subject Shares was subject to the terms of that
certain call agreement, dated February 9, 1998 (the “Call Agreement”), among Qurate Retail, as successor-in-interest to
the assignee of Tele-Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Mr. Malone and Mrs. Malone, which provided Qurate
Retail with the right to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Subject Shares at a per share price equal to the lower of
(x) the Offer price or (y) 110% of the average closing prices of a share of QRTEA for the 30 consecutive trading days
ending on May 17, 2021 (with the price calculated pursuant to clause (y) equal to $13.62 per share (the “Call Price”)) (the
“Call Right”). As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2021, Mr. Malone provided written notice to Qurate Retail of his desire
to accept the Offer, subject to the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company of the transactions contemplated
thereby for purposes of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, pursuant to the terms of the
Call Agreement. However, in the event the Company determined to exercise the Call Right, Mr. Malone indicated a
preference for the payment of the per share price in the form of shares of QRTEA such that he would continue to hold a
substantial investment in the Company.

On June 2, 2021, Qurate Retail delivered written notice to Mr. Malone to exercise the Call Right and to pay the
per share Call Price required by the Call Agreement in shares of QRTEA. On June 3, 2021, the Company and the Malone
Group entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Malone Stock Exchange Agreement”) to effect the closing of the
Call Right exercise, pursuant to which the Malone Group transferred to the Company an aggregate of 27,655,931 shares
of QRTEB, and in exchange (the “Malone Exchange”), Qurate Retail issued to the Malone Group an aggregate
of 30,421,522 shares of QRTEA. Under the terms of the Call Agreement, the aggregate Call Price converts into an
equivalent ratio of 1.1 shares of QRTEA for each share of QRTEB with the aggregate number of shares of QRTEA issued
to each member of the Malone Group rounded down to the nearest whole share.

On June 3, 2021, the Company, LMC and Mr. Maffei entered into a Waiver Letter and Amendment of
Employment Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Maffei (x) waived his
rights to assert that Qurate Retail’s exercise of the Call Right, the transactions to be consummated pursuant to the Malone
Stock Exchange Agreement or the resulting reduction in the Malone Group’s voting power with respect to Qurate
Retail (collectively, the “Specified Events”) would constitute a “Change in Control” or “Good Reason,” in each case, as
defined in the Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2019, by and between LMC and Mr. Maffei
(the “Employment Agreement”), with respect to Qurate Retail, and agreed not to terminate his employment with Qurate
Retail for “Good Reason” in connection with or arising out of the Option Cancellation (as defined below) or any of the
Specified Events, and (y) consented to the cancellation (the “Option Cancellation”) of stock option awards to purchase
shares of QRTEB that had been granted to Mr. Maffei on each of December 24, 2014, and March 31, 2015
for 1,137,228 shares at an exercise price of $16.97 per share, and 197,783 shares at an exercise price of $16.71 per share,
respectively. In consideration for the foregoing, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, (i) Mr. Maffei received a grant
of 1,101,321 restricted shares of QRTEB that are scheduled to vest, subject to Mr. Maffei’s continued employment
with the Company, in two equal tranches on December 10, 2024 and the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to
earlier vesting under certain circumstances, and (ii) Qurate Retail agreed that the portion of the Annual Equity Awards (as
defined in the Employment Agreement) to be granted by Qurate Retail to Mr. Maffei pursuant to Section 4.11 of the
Employment Agreement for calendar years 2022, 2023 and 2024 shall be granted with respect to the QRTEB.

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

Also, on June 3, 2021, the Company and Mr. Maffei also entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Maffei
Stock Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things: (i) Mr. Maffei transferred to Qurate Retail an
aggregate of 5,378,308 shares of QRTEA, and in exchange Qurate Retail issued to Mr. Maffei an equivalent number of
shares of QRTEB; (ii) Qurate Retail agreed that on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Maffei Stock Exchange
Agreement, Mr. Maffei, at his option (during the six-month period following the vesting of the performance-based
restricted stock unit award granted to Mr. Maffei on March 10, 2021), may transfer to the Company the number of shares
of QRTEA actually received by Mr. Maffei upon vesting of such performance-based restricted stock unit award in
exchange for an equivalent number of newly-issued shares of QRTEB (the “Subsequent Exchange”); (iii) Mr. Maffei
agreed that until December 31, 2024 (the “Cap Period”), which is also the end of the current term of his employment as
set forth in the Employment Agreement, he will not, and will not authorize or permit any of his affiliates that he controls
(“Controlled Affiliates”) to, acquire or agree to acquire (or announce publicly an intent to acquire) by purchase or
otherwise, beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company (or direct or indirect rights or options to acquire any
such voting securities) if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of securities, the aggregate voting power of the
Company’s voting securities beneficially owned by Mr. Maffei and his Controlled Affiliates would exceed 20.0% of the
voting power of all of the outstanding voting securities (assuming, for purposes of this calculation that all voting securities
beneficially owned by Mr. Maffei which are not outstanding are included in the calculation) (the “Cap”); and (iv) the
foregoing transactions by which Mr. Maffei and certain of his related persons became an “interested stockholder” were
approved for purposes of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Cap is subject to
certain terms and exceptions, as described in the Maffei Stock Exchange Agreement. In addition, Mr. Maffei and his
Controlled Affiliates may not transfer voting securities of Qurate Retail to any other Controlled Affiliate of Mr. Maffei
unless such transferee has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Maffei Stock Exchange Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Maffei Stock Exchange Agreement, on March 25, 2022, Mr. Maffei transferred to
the Company an aggregate of 229,022 shares of QRTEA received by Mr. Maffei upon vesting of the performance-based
RSU award granted to Mr. Maffei on March 10, 2021 and in exchange, the Company issued to Mr. Maffei an equivalent
number of shares of QRTEB. Each share of QRTEB stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of
QRTEA.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation

Qurate Retail - Incentive Plans

The Company has granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock
(“RSAs”), RSUs and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company
measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and
restricted stock) based on the GDFV of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is
required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services
received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair
value of the Award at each reporting date.

Pursuant to the Qurate Retail, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), the Company may grant
Awards in respect of a maximum of 30.0 million shares of Qurate Retail common stock plus the shares remaining available
for Awards under the prior Qurate Retail, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), as amended, as of close of
business on May 20, 2020, the day before the effective date of the 2020 Plan. Any forfeited shares from the 2016 Plan
shall also be available again under the 2020 Plan. Awards generally vest over 1-5 years and have a term of 7-10 years.
Qurate Retail issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards.

to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives. Qurate Retail granted 509 thousand time-based RSUs and
143 thousand performance-based RSUs of QRTEA to Mr. Rawlinson in 2021. The time-based RSUs vest over three
years, and the performance-based RSUs cliff vested in March 2022, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance
objectives and based on an amount determined by the compensation committee. Grants were made in connection with
Mr. Rawlinson’s employment agreement (see note 10).

(7) Qurate Retail granted to Mr. George 684 thousand performance-based RSUs and 423 thousand time-based RSUs of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

respectively, and Qurate Retail granted 229 thousand performance-based RSUs of QRTEA in 2021. These grants vest
one year from the month of the grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives. Grants were made
in connection with our Chairman’s employment agreement. Qurate Retail also granted 1.1 million time-based RSAs
of QRTEB to our Chairman in 2021 as a result of the Letter Agreement discussed in Note 10 which vest in two equal
tranches on December 10, 2024 and June 3, 2026, subject to earlier vesting under certain circumstances.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2023, Qurate Retail granted 20.4 million performance-based, cash-
settled RSUs of QRTEA to subsidiary employees. These RSUs vest equally over three years, subject to the satisfaction of
certain performance objectives. The liability and compensation expense related to such awards is adjusted at the end of
each reporting period based on the closing market price of QRTEA on the last trading day of the quarter combined with
the probability of satisfying the performance objectives.

For awards that are performance-based, performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in
determining the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized. When the satisfaction of the performance
objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The probability of satisfying the performance
objectives is assessed at the end of each reporting period.

During the fourth quarter of 2021 and in connection with the November Special Dividend, holders of QRTEA or
QRTEB (together, “QRTEA/B”) RSAs and RSUs outstanding at the close of business on the record date received a special
cash dividend in the amount of $1.25 per share for each QRTEA/B RSA or RSU so held (“November Cash Dividend”).

The November Cash Dividend for RSA holders was paid upon distribution. The November Cash Dividend for

RSU holders is subject to the same vesting schedules as those applicable to the corresponding original QRTEA RSUs.

Also in connection with the November Special Dividend, outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights
(“SARs”) to purchase shares of QRTEA/B on the record date were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the
incentive plans under which the stock options and SARs were granted. The adjustment to the exercise price and the number
of shares subject to the original stock option or SAR award preserved:

ii.

the pre-November Special Dividend intrinsic value of the original QRTEA/B stock option or SAR, and

the pre-November Special Dividend ratio of the exercise price to the market price of the corresponding
original QRTEA/B stock option or SAR.

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton
model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For
grants made in 2021, the range of expected terms was 5.4 to 5.8 years. There were no options granted in 2023 and 2022.
The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. For grants
made in 2021, the range of volatilities was 53.7% to 57.1%. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate
for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options

Litigation

Qurate Retail has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the
ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible Qurate Retail may incur losses upon conclusion of such
matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts,
if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Fire at Rocky Mount Fulfillment Center

On December 18, 2021, QVC experienced a fire at its Rocky Mount fulfillment center in North Carolina. Rocky
Mount was QVC’s second-largest fulfillment center for QxH and QVC’s primary returns center for hard goods. The
Company maintains property, general liability and business interruption insurance coverage. Based on the provisions of
QVC’s insurance policies, the Company recorded estimated insurance recoveries for fire related costs for which recovery
was deemed probable. As of December 31, 2022 the Company had an insurance receivable of $40 million, recorded in
accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet.

QURATE RETAIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $157 million of fire related costs including
$95 million for the write-down of Rocky Mount inventory which was included in Cost of goods sold. Due to the
circumstances surrounding the write-down of the inventory, this write-down has been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA (as
defined in note 15).

In February 2023, QVC sold the Rocky Mount fulfillment center to an independent third party and as of
December 31, 2023 received net cash proceeds of $19 million. QVC recognized gains on the sale of $17 million during
the year ended December 31, 2023, calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the
carrying value of the property. The gain is included in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in
the consolidated statement of operations.

In June 2023, the Company agreed to a final insurance settlement with its insurance company and received all
remaining proceeds related to the Rocky Mount claim. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded
cumulative fire related costs of $439 million and $407 million, respectively. Cumulative costs as of December 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022 include $119 million of costs that were not reimbursable by QVC’s insurance policies. As of
December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company received cumulative insurance proceeds of $660 million and $380 million,
respectively and recorded net gains, representing the proceeds received in excess of recoverable losses recognized, of
$208 million and $132 million respectively. Of the $280 million of insurance proceeds received during the year ended
December 31, 2023, $210 million represents recoveries for business interruption losses. The fire related costs and gains
related to insurance recoveries are included in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the
consolidated statement of operations.

Project Athens

On June 27, 2022, Qurate Retail announced a five-point turnaround plan designed to stabilize and differentiate
its QVC-U.S. and HSN brands and expand the Company's leadership in video streaming commerce (“Project Athens”).
Project Athens main initiatives include: (i) improve customer experience and grow relationships; (ii) rigorously execute
core processes; (iii) lower cost to serve; (iv) optimize the brand portfolio; and (v) build new high growth businesses
anchored in strength.

During 2022, QVC commenced the first phase of Project Athens, including actions to reduce inventory and a
planned workforce reduction that was completed in February 2023. These initiatives are consistent with QVC’s strategy
to operate more efficiently as it implements its turnaround plan. During the year ended December 31, 2023, QVC
implemented a workforce reduction and recorded restructuring charges of $13 million in restructuring, penalties and fire
related costs, net of (recoveries) in the consolidated statement of operations.

Other

In October 2023, HSN entered into a settlement agreement with the CPSC in which HSN agreed to pay a civil
penalty of $16 million to settle the CPSC’s claim that HSN allegedly failed to timely submit a report under the Consumer
Product Safety Act (“CPSA”) in relation to handheld clothing steamers sold by HSN under the Joy Mangano brand names
My Little Steamer® and My Little Steamer® Go Mini that were subject to a voluntary recall previously announced on
May 26, 2021. The settlement agreement also requires HSN to implement and maintain a compliance program to ensure
compliance with the CPSA. The civil penalty was recorded in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of
(recoveries) in the consolidated statement of operations.

Zulily Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2022, Zulily began to execute a series of transformation initiatives, beginning with the
announcement of the closure of its fulfillment center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and reduction in corporate workforce.
Zulily recorded $5 million of restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2023, related to its reduction in
corporate workforce. Zulily recorded $13 million of restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2022,
approximately $9 million of which related to its regional office space strategy and expenses associated with the
Pennsylvania facility closure, and approximately $4 million of which related to a reduction in corporate workforce. Zulily
was a wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail until its divestiture on May 24, 2023 (see note 1).

(15) Information About Qurate Retail's Operating Segments

Qurate Retail, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the
video and on-line commerce industries. Qurate Retail identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated
subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and
(B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of Qurate Retail's annual pre-tax
earnings. The segment presentation for prior periods has been conformed to the current period segment presentation.

Qurate Retail evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments
based on financial measures such as revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units
shipped and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, Qurate Retail reviews nonfinancial measures such as
unique website visitors, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate.

For segment reporting purposes, Qurate Retail defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of goods sold,
operating expenses, and SG&A excluding stock-based compensation and, where applicable, separately identified items
impacting comparability. Qurate Retail believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and
performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or
indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform
analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This
measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and where applicable,
separately identified impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring, penalties, acquisition-related costs, fire related
costs, net of recoveries (including Rocky Mount inventory losses) and gains on sale leaseback transactions, that are
included in the measurement of operating income (loss) pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating
activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Qurate Retail generally
accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Qurate Retail has identified the following consolidated subsidiaries as its

reportable segments:

• QxH – QxH markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the U.S., primarily by means of its

televised shopping programs and via the Internet through their websites and mobile applications.

• QVC International – QVC International markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in several
foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its
international websites and mobile applications.
