Item 7.01.  Regulation FD.

 

On September 6, 2018, a putative class action complaint was filed by a purported stockholder of Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado: Bristol County Retirement System v. Qurate Retail, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-02300. The complaint names as defendants Qurate Retail, its president and chief executive officer, its chairman of the board, the former chief financial officer of QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) and the former president and chief executive officer of zulily, llc.  The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and alleges that the defendants made materially misleading statements with respect to growth at QVC and zulily, llc and QVC’s Easy-Pay program.  The complaint seeks compensatory damages and interest in an unspecified amount, costs and attorneys’ fees.  Qurate Retail intends to vigorously defend against this action and similar actions, if any, that might be filed in the future.
