ENGLEWOOD, Colo., November 15, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qurate Retail, Inc. ("Qurate Retail") (Nasdaq: QRTEA, QRTEB, QRTEP) today announced the payment of a semi-annual interest payment and Regular Additional Distribution to the holders as of November 1, 2024 of the 4.0% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due 2029 (the "Debentures") issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Interactive LLC ("LI LLC").The semi-annual interest payment amount is $20.00 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures (a "Debenture"), and the amount of the Regular Additional Distribution is $0.4302 per $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures.
Under the Indenture for the Debentures, the original principal amount of the Debentures is reduced by an amount equal to each Extraordinary Additional Distribution made to holders of the Debentures. Thereafter, the adjusted principal amount is further reduced on each successive semi-annual interest payment date to the extent necessary to cause the semi-annual interest payment to represent the payment of an annualized yield of 4.0% of the adjusted principal amount. This latter adjustment, to the extent it is made by reason of a particular Extraordinary Additional Distribution that results in an adjustment to the principal amount of the Debentures, takes effect on the second succeeding interest payment date after the payment of that Extraordinary Additional Distribution.
To date, there has been one Extraordinary Additional Distribution to holders of the Debentures. On August 7, 2013, LI LLC made an Extraordinary Additional Distribution of $63.0960 per $1,000 original principal amount of the Debentures arising from the merger transaction between Sprint Nextel Corporation and SoftBank Corp.
Adjustments to the principal amount of the Debentures do not affect the amount of the semi-annual interest payments received by holders of the Debentures, which will continue to be a rate equal to 4.0% per annum of the original principal amount of the Debentures. Below is a detail of the amount of the semi-annual interest payment being made on the Debentures announced today, its allocation between payment of interest and repayment of principal and the revised adjusted principal amount resulting from such payment, per $1,000 original principal amount of the Debentures:
November 15, 2024 Beginning Adjusted Principal | Total Payment | Interest | Additional Payment of Principal | November 15, 2024 Ending Adjusted Principal |
$904.3676 | $20.0000 | $18.0874 | $1.9126 | $902.4550 |
LI LLC is also making a Regular Additional Distribution to holders of the Debentures as of November 1, 2024 of $0.4302 per Debenture, which is attributable to the regular quarterly cash dividend paid by T-Mobile US, Inc. of $0.65 per share on June 13, 2024 and September 12, 2024. The payment of the Regular Additional Distribution will not result in a reduction to the adjusted principal amount of the Debentures.
