H.            Disclosure Statement.

 

8.             The Disclosure Statement contains (a) sufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all applicable non-bankruptcy laws, rules, and regulations, including the Securities Act, and (b) “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein. The Filing of the Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). The Debtors’ use of the Disclosure Statement in solicitation of acceptances of the Plan is approved, and the Disclosure Statement is approved on a final basis pursuant to this Confirmation Order.

 

I.            Ballots.

 

9.            Class B3 (RCF Claims), Class B4 (QVC Notes Claims), and Class C3 (LINTA Notes Claims) were the only classes of claims entitled under the Plan to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the “Voting Classes”).

 

10.            The ballots the Debtors used to solicit votes to accept or reject the Plan from Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes (the “Ballots”) adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases and were appropriate for Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes to

 

vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 

J.            Solicitation.

 

11.           The solicitation of votes on the Plan was appropriate and satisfactory based upon the circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases and was in compliance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and any other applicable rules, laws, and regulations, including the Securities Act.

 

10

 

 

12.           As described in the Confirmation Declarations, the Voting Report, the Affidavits, the Scheduling Motion, and the Confirmation Brief, prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors caused the Solicitation Packages to be transmitted and served to all Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes that held such Claims as of April 13, 2026 (the “Voting Record Date”) in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126 thereof, the Bankruptcy Rules, including Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law. The posting and service of the Solicitation Packages were timely, adequate, and sufficient under the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases. The establishment and notice of the Voting Record Date was reasonable and sufficient, and the period during which the Debtors solicited votes to accept or reject to the Plan was a reasonable and sufficient period for Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan and complies with Bankruptcy Rule 2002 and 17 CFR § 240. 14e-1(a), to the extent applicable. None of the post-solicitation technical modifications to the Plan merit re-solicitation. No other or further notice or opportunity to vote on the Plan is or shall be required.

 

13.           Certain Holders were not provided a Solicitation Package because such Holders (a) are unimpaired under, and conclusively presumed to accept pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan (the “Unimpaired Non-Voting Classes”), (b) do not receive or retain any property under, and are conclusively deemed to reject pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan (the “Impaired Non-Voting Classes” or the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”), or (c) are Holders of certain Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Interests that are either (i) unimpaired and conclusively presumed to accept the Plan or (ii) do not receive or retain any property under, and are conclusively deemed to reject, the Plan pursuant to sections 1126(f) and 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, respectively (the “Non-Voting Intercompany Classes”). 4 Accordingly, Holders of Claims and Interests in the Unimpaired Non-Voting Classes, the Impaired Non-Voting Classes, and the Non-Voting Intercompany Classes (collectively, the “Non-Voting Classes”) were not solicited. No further notice shall be required for Holders of Claims and Interests in Non-Voting Classes.

 

 

4The Unimpaired Non-Voting Classes include Holders of Claims in Class A1 (Other Secured Claims against QVCG), Class A2 (Other Priority Claims against QVCG), Class A3 (General Unsecured Claims against QVCG), Class A4 (QVC-QVCG Settlement Claims), Class B1 (Other Secured Claims against the QVC Debtors), Class

As evidenced by the Voting Report, the Voting Classes voted to accept the Plan with respect to each applicable Debtor.

The process described in the Scheduling Motion (as authorized by the Scheduling Order) and the Voting Report that the Debtors and the Claims and Noticing Agent followed to identify the relevant parties on which to serve the applicable Ballot or Notice of Non-Voting Status and Opt-Out Form or Opt-In Form (a) is consistent with practices used in other complex chapter 11 cases, and (b) was reasonably calculated to ensure that each Holder of Claims and Interests in each Class was informed of its ability to opt out of or opt into the Third-Party Release, as applicable, and the consequences for failure to do so timely. Any party that elected in its Ballot, its Opt-Out Form or its Opt-In Form, as applicable, to opt out of or opt into the Third-Party Release and timely submitted such election to the Claims and Noticing Agent in accordance with the Solicitation Procedures prior to any deadline to submit such Ballot, Opt-Out Form, or Opt-In Form, as applicable, whether under any original or extended deadline, shall be neither a Released Party nor a Releasing Party under the Plan. The procedures used for tabulation of elections to opt out of the Third-Party Release are approved in all respects.

The Debtors served the Plan Supplement on all members of the Voting Classes and made the Plan Supplement publicly available on the Claims and Noticing Agent’s website. No other or further notice is or shall be required.

 

O.            Compliance with Bankruptcy Code Requirements—Section 1129(a)(1).

 

18.            The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the Plan is dated and identifies the Entities submitting it, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The discharge, release, injunction, and exculpation provisions of the Plan are set forth in bold therein and in the Disclosure Statement, thereby complying with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c).

 

(i)Proper Classification—Sections 1122 and 1123.

 

19.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests into twenty-nine Classes. Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of such Classes of Claims and Interests. The classification scheme contained in the Plan does not reflect any improper purpose and does not unfairly discriminate between, or among, Holders of Claims or Interests. Each Class of Claims and Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class.

 

14

 

 

(ii)Specified Unimpaired Classes—Section 1123(a)(2).

 

20.         The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan specifies the Claims in the following Classes that are Unimpaired (the “Unimpaired Classes”) under the Plan within the meaning of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code:

 

Class Designation
Class A1 Other Secured Claims against QVCG
Class A2 Other Priority Claims against QVCG
Class A3 General Unsecured Claims against QVCG

Class C4 General Unsecured Claims against the LINTA Debtors
Class D1 Other Secured Claims against the CBI Debtors
Class D2 Other Priority Claims against the CBI Debtors
Class D3 General Unsecured Claims against the CBI Debtors

 

21.            Class A4 (QVC-QVCG Settlement Claim) is properly designated as Unimpaired in accordance with section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, Article II of the Plan specifies that Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, DIP LC Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Disinterested Director Fee Claims, QVC Restructuring Expenses, and LINTA Restructuring Expenses will be paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Plan; although these Claims are not classified under the Plan.

 

15

 

 

(iii)Specified Treatment of Impaired Classes—Section 1123(a)(3).

 

22.           The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan specifies the Claims and Interests in the following Classes that are Impaired (the “Impaired Classes”) under the Plan within the meaning of section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, and describes the treatment of such Classes:

 

Class Designation
Class A6 QVCG Preferred Equity Interests
Class A7 QVCG Common Equity Interests
Class A8 Section 510(b) Claims against QVCG
Class B3 RCF Claims against the QVC Debtors

Class C3 LINTA Notes Claims
Class C7 Section 510(b) Claims against the LINTA Debtors
Class D6 Section 510(b) Claims against the CBI Debtors

 

23.            For the avoidance of doubt, Holders of Claims and Interests in the Non-Voting Intercompany Classes are Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to accept the Plan (to the extent Reinstated), or are Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan (to the extent canceled), and, in either event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 

(iv)No Discrimination—Section 1123(a)(4).

 

24.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Interest in each respective Class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Interest.

 

16

 

 

(v)Adequate Means for Plan Implementation—Section 1123(a)(5).

 

25.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article IV of the Plan, the exhibits and attachments to the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Disclosure Statement, provide, in detail, adequate and proper means for the Plan’s implementation, including: (a) the general settlement of Claims and Interests; (b) the Intercompany Settlement; (c) authorization to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions, including all New Debt Documents and related security agreements and mortgages; (d) the vesting of authority in the Reorganized Debtors; (e) the funding and sources of consideration for distributions under the Plan, including the Cash on hand, QVC New Equity Interests, and the Exit Financing; (f) the preservation of each Debtor’s corporate existence after the Effective Date; (g) the vesting of assets in the Reorganized Debtors; (h) the cancellation of all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests, including credit agreements, note purchase agreements, and indentures; (i) the authorization and approval of certain corporate actions under the Plan; (j) the adoption of the New Organizational Documents by the Reorganized Debtors; (k) the appointment of the New Board and the other Governing Bodies; (l) the effectuation and implementation of other documents and agreements contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate, the transactions contemplated by the Plan; (m) the exemption from certain securities laws; (n) the exemptions consistent with section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code; (o) the assumption of certain employment obligations; (p) the assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies; (q) the authorization of the Management Incentive Plan as adopted and implemented by the New Board following the Effective Date; (r) the preservation of Claims and Causes of Action not released pursuant to the Plan; (s) the release of Avoidance Actions; and (t) Reorganized QVC’s emergence from chapter 11 as a public company.

 

(vi)Voting Power of Equity Securities—Section 1123(a)(6).

 

26.           The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article IV.J of the Plan provides that the New Organizational Documents will comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. The New Organizational Documents will prohibit the issuance of non-voting securities to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(vii)Directors and Officers—Section 1123(a)(7).

 

27.           The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article IV.K of the Plan provides for the appointment of the New Board and the other Governing Bodies, the initial members of which (and any successors thereto) (a) will be designated, selected, and appointed, as applicable, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Governance Term Sheet and the New Organizational Documents, as applicable, which is consistent with the interests of creditors and equityholders and with public policy; and (b) were disclosed in the Plan Supplement to the extent known.

 

17

 

 

(viii)Impairment / Unimpairment of Classes—Section 1123(b)(1).

 

28.          The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves Unimpaired each Class of Claims and Interests.

 

(ix)Assumption—Section 1123(b)(2).

 

29.          The Plan is consistent with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, and the payment of Cures, if any, related thereto, not previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected during these Chapter 11 Cases under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates.

 

(x)Compromise and Settlement—Section 1123(b)(3).

 

30.          In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(A)  of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under the Plan, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan (including the Intercompany Settlement) shall constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies released, settled, compromised, discharged, satisfied, or otherwise resolved pursuant to the Plan. The compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan (including the Intercompany Settlement) are the result of extensive, arm’s-length, good-faith negotiations that, in addition to the Plan, resulted in the execution of the RSA, which preserve value for the Debtors, their Estates, and all their stakeholders, avoid extended, uncertain, time-consuming, and value-destructive litigation, and represent a fair and reasonable compromise of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies, and entry into which represented a sound exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment. The compromises and settlements in the Plan (including the Intercompany Settlement) are fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates and satisfy the requirements of applicable law for approval pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

 

18

 

 

(xi)Debtor Release.

 

31.          Article VIII.C of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Debtors in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Release”). The Debtors have demonstrated that the releases provided under the Debtor Release constitute a sound exercise of their business judgment, and the Debtors have otherwise established the propriety of the Debtor Release and satisfied the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 9019 with respect thereto. Each of the Released Parties has made a substantial contribution to the Plan and to the Debtors’ reorganization. The Debtor Release is a necessary and integral element of the Plan, and is fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ pursuit of any such Claims and Causes of Action against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates’ various constituencies because the costs involved would outweigh any potential benefit from pursuing such Claims and Causes of Action. The scope of the Debtor Release is appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtor Release is appropriate in light of, among other things, the value provided by the Released Parties to the Estates and the critical nature of the Debtor Release to the Plan.

 

19

 

 

32.          The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties who provided consideration to the Debtors and whose participation in the Debtors’ restructuring process and these Chapter 11 Cases was and continues to be critical to the Debtors’ successful implementation of the Restructuring Transactions and emergence. Specifically, the Released Parties under the Plan made significant concessions and contributions to these Chapter 11 Cases, including by actively supporting the Plan and these Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the Holders of RCF Claims, QVC Notes Claims, and LINTA Notes Claims comprise the Voting Classes and voted in favor of the Plan. The Consenting RCF Lenders, the Consenting QVC Noteholders, and the Consenting LINTA Noteholders have supported and committed to continue to support the Debtors’ restructuring pursuant to the RSA, including the Intercompany Settlement. With the support of the Consenting Stakeholders, certain Consenting RCF Lenders (the DIP LC Issuing Banks) agreed to provide the DIP LC Facility, which enabled the Debtors to continue to issue and extend letters of credit to critical trade vendors and other critical counterparties of the Debtors. The Required Consenting RCF Lenders and the Required Consenting QVC Noteholders agreed to equitize portions of their claims to facilitate the Debtors’ reorganization efforts and have worked with the Debtors to secure or provide, as applicable, the Exit Financing to support the Debtors’ businesses on a go-forward basis following consummation of the Plan.

 

33.         The Debtor Release for the Debtors’ current and former directors, officers, and managers is appropriate because the Debtors’ directors, officers, and managers share an identity of interest with the Debtors, supported and made substantial contributions to the success of the Plan and these Chapter 11 Cases, and actively participated in meetings and negotiations during these Chapter 11 Cases. In sum, the Released Parties played an integral role in the formulation of the Plan, made significant contributions that are essential to the Plan’s success, and expended significant time and resources analyzing and negotiating the Plan and the issues presented by the Debtors’ prepetition capital structure.

 

20

 

 

34.           As such, the Debtor Release is: (a) the result of a sound exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment; (b) an essential part of the agreement among those participating in the negotiations and formulation of the Plan; (c) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by or on behalf of the Released Parties; (d) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action released herein negotiated at arm’s-length; (e) in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, all Holders of Claims and Interests, and any other parties in interest; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (h) without limiting the Debtor Release, a bar to any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Debtors’ Estates from asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to the Debtor Release. Further, described in each of the Walper and Foster Declarations and the other evidence in support of the Plan that was proffered or adduced at, prior to, or in connection with the Combined Hearing, the Disinterested Directors of the Governing Bodies of QVCG, LINTA, QVC, and CBI each conducted an investigation that analyzed and considered all potential Claims and Causes of Action held by each such respective Debtor and determined that the Debtor Release was appropriate and necessary under the circumstances. In light of the foregoing, the Debtor Release is approved.

 

(xii)Release by Holders of Claims and Interests.

 

35.           Article VIII.D of the Plan describes certain releases granted by the Releasing Parties (the “Third-Party Release”). The Third-Party Release is: (a) consensual; (b) essential to the Confirmation; (c) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (d) a good faith settlement and compromise of such Claims and Causes of Action; (e) in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, Holders of Claims and Interests, and all other parties in interest; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (h) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to the Third-Party Release.

 

21

 

 

36.            The Third-Party Release is an integral part of the Plan. Similar to the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release was integral to the formulation of the Plan. Like the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release was critical to incentivizing parties to support the Plan, facilitated participation in the RSA, the Plan, and the chapter 11 process generally, and prevented potentially significant, time-consuming, and value-depleting litigation. The Third-Party Release was a core negotiation point and an integral component of the RSA and was instrumental in developing a Plan that maximized value for the Debtors’ stakeholders. As such, the Third-Party Release appropriately offers certain protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors’ restructuring process by, among other things, supporting the Plan. The scope of the Third-Party Release is appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases. The Third-Party Release is appropriate in light of, among other things, the value provided by the Released Parties to the stakeholders and the critical nature of the Third-Party Release to the Plan.

 

37.            The Third-Party Release is consensual as to all relevant parties, including all Releasing Parties, and such parties were provided sufficient notice of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, and the deadline to object to Confirmation, received the Combined Hearing Notice and the Opt-Out Form, Opt-In Form, or a Ballot, as applicable, and were properly informed that certain of the Holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtors (the Voting Classes and the Unimpaired Non-Voting Classes) that did not check a prominently featured and clearly labeled box on the applicable Ballot or Opt-Out Form, returned in advance of the Voting Deadline, would be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally, generally, individually, and collectively consented to the release and discharge of all Claims and Causes of Action against the Debtors and the Released Parties. The other Holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtors (the Impaired Non-Voting Classes) were given the opportunity to participate in the Third Party Release as a Releasing Party by affirmatively opting in to the Third Party Release. Furthermore, the Plan provides that any Entity shall not be a Released Party if it timely opts out of, or objects to, the Third-Party Release. Additionally, the release provisions of the Plan were conspicuous, emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Ballots, the Opt-Out Form, the Opt-In Form, and the Combined Hearing Notice. The Ballot, Opt-Out Form, and the Opt-In Form also contained information on how to return the Opt-Out Form or Opt-In Form, as applicable, by mail and how to access an electronic online portal whereby a Holder can opt out of or opt in to the Third-Party Release, as applicable.

 

22

 

 

38.          The Third-Party Release provides finality for the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Released Parties regarding the parties’ respective obligations under the Plan and with respect to the Reorganized Debtors. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, is integral to and a condition of the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan, and is appropriately tailored under the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases. The Combined Hearing Notice sent to Holders of Claims and Interests and published in The New York Times on April 23, 2026, and The New York Times International Edition on April 27, 2026, and the Ballots sent to all Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote on the Plan, in each case, unambiguously stated that the Plan contains the Third-Party Release. The Releasing Parties were given due and adequate notice of the Third-Party Release, including the deadline to object to, opt out of, or opt into the Third-Party Release, as applicable, and thus the Third-Party Release is consensual under controlling precedent in the Fifth Circuit as to those Releasing Parties that did not timely object or elect to opt out of or affirmatively elect to opt into granting the Third-Party Release. The Third-Party Release is authorized and approved.

 

23

 

 

(xiii)Exculpation.

 

39.           The exculpation provision set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan and incorporated into this Confirmation Order is essential to the Plan, appropriate under applicable law, including In re Highland Capital Management, L.P., 48 F.4th 419 (5th Cir. 2022) and In re Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P., 132 F. 4th 353 (5th Cir. 2025) (hereinafter Highland II), and constitute a proper exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment. The record in these Chapter 11 Cases fully supports the exculpation and the exculpation provision set forth in Article VIII.E of the Plan, which are appropriately tailored to protect the Debtors and the Exculpated Parties from inappropriate litigation. The exculpation, including the carve-out for actual fraud, willful misconduct, and/or gross negligence, is consistent with section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Exculpated Parties subject to the exculpation provision have, and upon entry of this Confirmation Order will be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan, and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable Law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan, or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.

 

(xiv)Injunction.

 

40.          The injunction provision set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan is necessary to implement, preserve, and enforce the Debtors’ discharge, the Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, and exculpation provision. The injunction provisions are appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes and appropriate under applicable law, including Highland II. Without limiting Article VIII.F of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation Order, no Person or Entity may commence or pursue a Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, of any kind against the Exculpated Parties, as applicable, that relates to or is reasonably likely to relate to any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of a Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, subject to the terms of the Plan, without the Bankruptcy Court (a) first determining, after notice and a hearing, that such Claim or Cause of Action represents a colorable Claim not subject to exculpation under the Plan, and (b) specifically authorizing such Person or Entity to bring such Claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, against any such Exculpated Party.

 

24

 

 

(xv)Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action.

 

41.          Article IV.R of the Plan appropriately provides that the Reorganized Debtors will retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtors, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, in accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, other than the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII of the Plan, which shall be released and waived by the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date. The provisions regarding the preservation of Causes of Action in the Plan, including the Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and all Holders of Claims and Interests.

 

(xvi)Release of Liens.

 

42.          The release and discharge of all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates described in Article VIII.B of the Plan (the “Release of Liens”) are necessary to implement the Plan. The provisions of the Release of Liens are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and Holders of Claims and Interests.

 

25

 

 

(xvii)Additional Plan Provisions—Section 1123(b)(6).

 

43.          The other discretionary provisions of the Plan are appropriate and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(xviii)Cure of Defaults—Section 1123(d).

 

44.          Article V.C of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cures associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay the Cure amount, if any, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, with the amount and timing of payment of any such Cure dictated by the underlying agreements and/or the ordinary course of business among the parties thereto, as applicable; provided, however, that with respect to any Cure amount payable in connection with an assumption or assumption and assignment of an Executory Contract or an Unexpired Lease to which any of the LINTA Debtors is a party, such payment shall be payable by the Reorganized QVC Debtors and shall not be payable by any LINTA Debtor or any Reorganized LINTA Debtor, provided, that the Required Consenting RCF Lenders and Required Consenting QVC Noteholders consent to such assumption or assumption and assignment. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease all requests for payment of Cures that differ from the amounts paid or proposed to be paid, including in the ordinary course, by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to a counterparty must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any such request that is not timely Filed shall be disallowed and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of the Cure in the Debtors’ ordinary course of business; provided that nothing in the Plan shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to File such request for payment of such Cure. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, any objection to the assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease under the Plan must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such assumption.

 

26

 

 

45.          If there is any dispute regarding any Cure, the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of the Cure amount shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable (with the consent of the Required Consenting QVC Noteholders and the Required Consenting RCF Lenders) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), reserve the

 

right at any time to move to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease based upon the existence of any such unresolved dispute.

 

P.            Debtors’ Compliance with the Bankruptcy Code—Section 1129(a)(2).

 

46.          The Debtors complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, each Debtor:

 

a.is an eligible debtor under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a proper proponent of the Plan under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

b.has complied with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the Bankruptcy Court; and

 

c.complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 1125 and 1126, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Bankruptcy Local Rules, any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, regulation, and all other applicable Law, in transmitting the Solicitation Packages, and related documents and notices, and in soliciting and tabulating the votes on the Plan.

 

Q.            Plan Proposed in Good Faith—Section 1129(a)(3).

 

47.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors proposed the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions (and all documents necessary to effectuate the Plan, including the Plan Supplement) in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, and all acceptances and rejections of the Plan were solicited and submitted in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In so determining, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the Filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the RSA, all Definitive Documents, the process leading to Confirmation, including its overwhelming support by Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes, and the transactions to be implemented pursuant thereto. The Debtors and their agents Filed these Chapter 11 Cases and proposed the Plan in good faith with the legitimate purpose of allowing the Debtors to implement the Restructuring Transactions on an prepackaged timeline so as to minimize disruption to the Debtors’ business operations, reorganize, and emerge from bankruptcy with a capital and organizational structure that will allow the Reorganized Debtors to conduct their business and satisfy their obligations with sufficient liquidity.

 

27

 

 

R.            Payment for Services or Costs and Expenses—Section 1129(a)(4).

 

48.           The procedures set forth in the Plan for the Bankruptcy Court’s review and ultimate determination of the fees and expenses to be paid by the Debtors in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to these Chapter 11 Cases, satisfy the objectives of, and are in compliance with, section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

S.            Directors, Officers, and Insiders—Section 1129(a)(5).

 

49.          Article IV.K of the Plan provides for the appointment of the New Board and the other Governing Bodies, the initial members of which (and any successors thereto) (a) will be designated, selected, and appointed, as applicable, in accordance with the Governance Term Sheet and the applicable New Organizational Documents, as applicable, which is consistent with the interests of creditors and equityholders and with public policy; and (b) were disclosed in the Plan Supplement to the extent known. Accordingly, the Debtors satisfy the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

T.            No Rate Changes—Section 1129(a)(6).

 

50.           Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is not applicable to these Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan does not contain any rate changes subject to the jurisdiction of any governmental regulatory commission and will not require governmental regulatory approval.

 

U.            Best Interest of Creditors—Section 1129(a)(7).

 

51.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit D and the other evidence related thereto in support of the Plan that was proffered or adduced at, prior to, or in connection with the Combined Hearing: (a) are reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; and (d) establish that Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests in each Class will recover at least as much under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest, as of the Effective Date, as such Holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

28

 

 

V.            Acceptance by Certain Classes—Section 1129(a)(8).

 

52.           Classes A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B5, C1, C2, C4, D1, D2, and D3 constitute Unimpaired Classes, each of which is conclusively presumed to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Voting Classes (Class B3, B4, and C3) voted to accept the Plan. Classes A5, B6, B7, C5, C6, D4, and D5 are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan (to the extent reinstated) or are Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan (to the extent canceled), and, in either event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. The Deemed Rejecting Classes (Classes A6, A7, A8, B8, C7 and D6) are conclusively deemed to reject the plan and consequently are not entitled to vote on the Plan. Given not all Classes have accepted the Plan, the Plan does not satisfy section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes; however, as discussed below, the Plan can be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

W.Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority under Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code—Section 1129(a)(9).

 

53.          The treatment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, DIP LC Claims, and Professional Fee Claims under Article II of the Plan, and of Other Priority Claims, under Article III of the Plan, satisfies the requirements of, and complies in all respects with, section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

29

 

 

X.            Acceptance by At Least One Impaired Class—Section 1129(a)(10).

 

54.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code. As evidenced by the Voting Report, the Voting Classes voted to accept the Plan by the requisite numbers and amount of Claims, without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider (as that term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code), specified under the Bankruptcy Code. As to QVCG and the CBI Debtors, section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable because there are no Classes of Claims against QVCG or the CBI Debtors Impaired by the Plan.

 

Y.            Feasibility—Section 1129(a)(11).

 

55.          The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Financial Projections attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit C, the Wafford Declaration, and the other evidence supporting Confirmation proffered or adduced by the Debtors at, or prior to, the Combined Hearing: (a) are reasonable, persuasive, credible, and accurate as of the dates such analysis or evidence was prepared, presented, or proffered; (b) utilize reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions; (c) have not been controverted by other evidence; (d) establish that the Plan is feasible and Confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization of, the Reorganized Debtors or any successor to the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan, except as provided in the Plan;

 

(e) establish that the Reorganized Debtors will have sufficient funds to meet their obligations under the Plan; and (f) establish that the Reorganized Debtors will have the financial wherewithal to pay any Claims that accrue, become payable, or are Allowed following the Effective Date.

 

Z.            Payment of Fees—Section 1129(a)(12).

 

56.           The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article XII.C of the Plan provides for the payment of all fees payable by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or the Disbursing Agent on behalf of each of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors) under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a).

 

30

 

 

AA.      Continuation of Retiree Benefits—Section 1129(a)(13).

 

57.           The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code. Article IV.O of the Plan provides that, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the Debtors shall (a) assume all employment agreements, indemnification agreements, or other employment-related agreements entered into with current or former employees as of the Petition Date or (b) enter into new agreements with such employees, including the Compensation and Benefits Program, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Reorganized Debtors and such employees, and, in the case of any executive officer of the Reorganized QVC Debtors, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting QVC Noteholders and Required Consenting RCF Lenders. A counterparty to or participant in a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan shall have the same rights under such Compensation and Benefits Program as such counterparty had thereunder immediately prior to such assumption (unless otherwise agreed by such counterparty and the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s)); provided that any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the Plan or any of the Restructuring Transactions (including the disposition of, dissolution, winding down, or liquidating of the Reorganized LINTA Debtors and/or Reorganized QVCG) shall not (a) trigger or be deemed to trigger any provisions relating to any change of control, change in control, “approved transaction,” “board change,” “control transaction” or other same or similar term, including with respect to accelerated, immediate, or enhanced vesting, severance or termination, or similar provisions therein or (b) be deemed to constitute an involuntary or constructive termination or otherwise trigger or be deemed to trigger an event of “Good Reason” (or a term of like import), in each case, as a result of or in connection with the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions or any other transactions contemplated by the Plan, including with respect to any changes in corporate structure which will not, in and of itself, be deemed to result in an adverse change (or term of like import) to any employee’s employment (including, without limitation, any duties, authority or responsibilities of any employee); provided, further, that any “Good Reason” (or term of like import) resignation rights relating to a failure to provide any specific long-term or equity incentives (including, without limitation, under the Management Incentive Plan or otherwise) set forth in any Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan shall cease to apply, and no counterparty thereunder shall have any rights, claims or entitlements in connection with any such rights from and after the assumption of such Compensation and Benefits Program under the Plan. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

 

31

 

 

BB.         Non-Applicability of Certain Sections—Sections 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16).

58.          Sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and 1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to these Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors owe no domestic support obligations, are not individuals, and each of the Debtors is a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation.

CC.         “Cram Down” Requirements—Section 1129(b)

59.          Notwithstanding the fact that the Deemed Rejecting Classes are deemed to reject the Plan, the Plan may be confirmed pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. First, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code other than section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied or are inapplicable. Second, the Plan is fair and equitable with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes. The Plan has been proposed in good faith, is reasonable, and meets the requirements that (a) no Holder of any Impaired Claim or Interest that is junior to each such rejecting Class will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest and (b) no Holder of a Claim or Interest in a Class senior to such Impaired Class is receiving more than 100% on account of its Claim. Accordingly, the Plan is fair and equitable to all Holders of Claims and Interests in the Deemed Rejecting Classes. Third, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly with respect to the Deemed Rejecting Classes because similarly situated Claim and Interest Holders in such Classes that have not accepted the Plan will receive substantially similar treatment on account of their Claims and Interests irrespective of Class.

32

 

 

60.           As a result, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and can be confirmed even though not all Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan and section 1129(a)(8) is not satisfied. After entry of this Confirmation Order and upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Plan shall be binding on the members of the Deemed Rejecting Classes.

DD.         Only One Plan—Section 1129(c).

61.           The Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan is the only chapter 11 plan Filed in each of these Chapter 11 Cases.

EE.           Principal Purpose of the Plan—Section 1129(d).

62.           Section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable. The principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of section 5 of the Securities Act. No Governmental Entity has requested that the Bankruptcy Court refuse to confirm the Plan on the grounds that the principal purpose of the Plan is such avoidance.

FF.          Small Business Case—Section 1129(e).

63.          None of these Chapter 11 Cases are a “small business case,” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and, accordingly, section 1129(e) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable.

GG.         Good Faith Solicitation—Section 1125(e).

64.           The Exculpated Parties, the Consenting Stakeholders, the directors and officers of any of the Debtors, each of the Reorganized Debtors, and with respect to the foregoing, the Related Parties thereto, have acted fairly, in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in a manner consistent with the Disclosure Statement, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations in connection with all of their respective activities relating to support and consummation of the Plan, including the execution, delivery, and performance of the RSA, the solicitation and tabulation of votes on the Plan, and the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, and are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

33

 

65.           The Debtors and their agents participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including section 1125(g), with regard to the offering, issuance, and distribution of recoveries under the Plan and therefore are not, and on account of such distributions will not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or distributions made pursuant to the Plan, so long as such distributions are made consistent with and pursuant to the Plan.

HH.         Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements.

66.           Based on the foregoing and all other pleadings and evidence proffered or adduced at or prior to the Combined Hearing, the Plan satisfies the requirements for Confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The failure to specifically address a provision of the Bankruptcy Code in this Confirmation Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of this Confirmation Order.

II.             Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date.

67.          The Plan shall not become effective unless and until the conditions set forth in Article IX.A of the Plan have been satisfied or waived in accordance with Article IX.B of the Plan. The Debtors are authorized to take all actions necessary to satisfy each of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in Article IX.A of the Plan that have not yet been satisfied or waived in accordance with the RSA Rights and Article IX.B of the Plan.

34

 

JJ.           Implementation.

68.           All documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan, including those contained in the Plan Supplement, the Definitive Documents, and all other relevant and necessary documents, have been or will be negotiated in good faith and at arm’s-length, are in the best interests of the Debtors, and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable documents and agreements not in conflict with any federal, state, or local law. The documents and agreements are essential elements of the Plan, and entry into and consummation of the transactions contemplated by each such document or agreement are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and the Holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtors have exercised reasonable business judgment in determining which documents and agreements to enter into and have provided sufficient and adequate notice of such documents and agreements. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to finalize, execute, and deliver all agreements, documents, instruments, and certificates relating thereto and perform their obligations thereunder in accordance with the Plan.

KK.         Disclosure of Facts.

69.           The Debtors disclosed all material facts regarding the Plan, including with respect to consummation of the Restructuring Transactions, and the fact that each Debtor will emerge from its respective Chapter 11 Case as a validly existing separate corporate entity, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as applicable.

35

 

LL.          Good Faith.

70.           The Debtors proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means prohibited by law, with the legitimate and honest purpose of maximizing the value of the Debtors’ Estates for the benefit of their stakeholders. The Plan accomplishes this goal. The Plan is the product of extensive, good faith, arm’s-length negotiations among the Debtors and their principal constituencies, including the Consenting Stakeholders. Accordingly, the Debtors, the Released Parties, and the Exculpated Parties have been, are, and will continue to be acting in good faith within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code if they proceed to: (a) consummate the Restructuring Transactions in accordance with the Plan and the agreements, settlements, transactions, transfers, and other actions contemplated thereby, regardless of whether such agreements, settlements, transactions, transfers, and other actions are expressly authorized by this Confirmation Order; and (b) take any actions authorized and directed or contemplated by this Confirmation Order and the Plan to reorganize the Debtors’ businesses and effectuate the Restructuring Transactions and the Intercompany Settlement.

MM.        Essential Elements of the Plan.

71.          The New Debt Documents and the New Organizational Documents are essential elements of the Plan, are necessary for Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan, and are critical to the overall success and feasibility of the Plan. The execution, performance, and incurrence of all obligations by the Reorganized Debtors, and/or any successors, assigns, or transferees of the applicable Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, including in connection with the Restructuring Transactions, are necessary and appropriate for Confirmation and the operations of the Reorganized Debtors. The Debtors have exercised sound business judgment in deciding to pursue and enter into the New Debt Documents and the New Organizational Documents and have provided adequate notice thereof.

36

 

72.          The Debtors have provided sufficient and adequate notice of the material terms of the New Debt Documents and the New Organizational Documents to all parties in interest in these Chapter 11 Cases. The execution, delivery, or performance by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, of all Definitive Documents and any agreements related thereto and compliance by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the terms thereof is authorized by, and will not conflict with, the terms of the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

NN.        Valuation.

73.          The evidence with respect to the valuation analysis of the Debtors that was (a) set forth in Exhibit E to the Disclosure Statement filed on May 4, 2026 [Docket No. 196] and (b) introduced at the Combined Hearing with respect to the CBI Debtors, provides the basis and support for the distributions and recoveries to Holders of Claims and Interests, as applicable, under the Plan, is reasonable, persuasive, and credible, and uses reasonable and appropriate methodologies and assumptions. All parties in interest have been given a fair and reasonable opportunity to challenge the valuation analysis. Given such valuation of the Debtors, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, the Plan’s treatment of Claims and Interests is appropriate and reasonable as set forth herein.

OO.        Modifications to the Plan

74.           Pursuant to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the modifications to the Plan described or set forth in this Confirmation Order, including any modifications to the Plan after solicitation of the Plan, constitute technical or clarifying changes, changes with respect to particular Claims by agreement with Holders of such Claims, or modifications that do not otherwise materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of any other Claim or Interest under the Plan. These modifications are consistent with the disclosures previously made pursuant to the Disclosure Statement and the Solicitation Packages served prior to the Petition Date, and notice of these modifications was adequate and appropriate under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of votes under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they do not require that holders of Claims or Interests be afforded an opportunity to cast new votes on the Plan or change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan. All Holders of Claims and Interests who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan are deemed to have accepted the Plan, and all Holders of Claims and Interests who are conclusively deemed to have rejected the Plan are deemed to have rejected the Plan.

37

 

75.           Accordingly, the Plan is properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan prior to such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND DETERMINED THAT:

76.           Disclosure Statement. The Disclosure Statement is APPROVED in all respects.

77.           Confirmation. The Plan, as may be amended by this Confirmation Order, is approved in its entirety and CONFIRMED under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The terms of the Plan, including the Plan Supplement (including any supplements, amendments, or modifications thereof in accordance with this Confirmation Order, the Plan, and the RSA Rights) and the Definitive Documents, are incorporated by reference into and are an integral part of this Confirmation Order. Subject to the RSA Rights, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their successors are authorized and empowered to make all modifications to all documents included as part of the Plan Supplement that are consistent with and subject to the Plan and the RSA Rights.

38

 

78.            Solicitation. To the extent applicable, the solicitation of votes on the Plan complied with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Bankruptcy Local Rules, and was appropriate and satisfactory and is approved in all respects.

79.           Objections Overruled. To the extent that any objections (including any reservations of rights, joinders, or statements contained therein) pertaining to the final approval of the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled before entry of this Confirmation Order, are not cured by the relief granted in this Confirmation Order, or have not otherwise been resolved as stated on the record at the Combined Hearing, all such objections (including any reservation of rights, joinders, or statements contained therein), are hereby OVERRULED in their entirety and DENIED on the merits.

80.           All objections to Confirmation or final approval of the Disclosure Statement not Filed and served prior to the Objection Deadline (as may have been extended by the Debtors) are deemed waived and shall not be considered by the Bankruptcy Court.

81.           Deemed Acceptance of Plan. In accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, all Holders of Claims who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan are deemed to accept the Plan, as modified.

82.           No Action Required. Under section 1142(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and any other comparable provisions under applicable law, no further action of the respective directors, managers, members, stockholders, or other equityholders of any of the Debtors is required to authorize the Debtors to enter into, execute, deliver, file, adopt, amend, restate, consummate, or effectuate, as the case may be, the Plan, the Restructuring Transactions, this Confirmation Order, and any contract, assignment, certificate, instrument, or other document to be executed, delivered, adopted, or amended in connection with the implementation of the Plan, including the Definitive Documents.

39

 

83.           The transactions described in the Plan (as may be subsequently amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time consistent with the Plan), the Plan Supplement (as may be subsequently amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time consistent with the Plan), the Definitive Documents, and this Confirmation Order, including the Restructuring Transactions, are hereby approved. Subject to the RSA Rights and the Plan, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Date, as applicable, and without any further order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, all Holders of Claims and Interests, as applicable, and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, members, agents, attorneys, financial advisors, and investment bankers, are hereby authorized, directed, and empowered pursuant to section 1142(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable law to, and shall take any action that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors determine is reasonably necessary, advisable, or appropriate to implement, effectuate, and consummate the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Definitive Documents, the Restructuring Transactions, or any other transaction set forth in, contemplated by, or consistent with the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) or this Confirmation Order.

84.           Binding Effect. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement) shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any and all Holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether such Claims or Interests are presumed to have accepted or deemed to reject the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors. Pursuant to sections 1123(a) and 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this Confirmation Order and the Plan shall apply and be binding and enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy Law.

40

 

85.           Incorporation by Reference. The terms and provisions of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, this Confirmation Order, the Definitive Documents, all other relevant and necessary documents, and each of the foregoing’s schedules and exhibits constitute essential elements of the Plan and shall, on and after the Effective Date, be incorporated herein by reference and are an integral part of this Confirmation Order.

86.           Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors. Except as otherwise provided in this Confirmation Order, the Plan, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated herein, on the Effective Date, all property in each Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, Causes of Action, or other encumbrances (except for Liens granted to secure the obligations under the New Debt Documents). On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, this Confirmation Order, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property, enter into transactions, agreements, understandings or arrangements, whether in or other than in the ordinary course of business, and execute, deliver, implement and fully perform any and all obligations, instruments, documents and papers or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, no Reorganized Debtor shall be treated as being liable on any Claim that is discharged pursuant to the Plan. After the Effective Date, a certified copy of this Confirmation Order may be Filed with the appropriate clerk or recorded with the recorder of any federal, state, province, country, or local authority whether foreign or domestic, to effectuate the transfer of all property in each Estate to each respective Reorganized Debtor, vesting the Reorganized Debtors with all rights, titles, and interests of the Debtors to the property in each Estate, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, Interests, and other encumbrances of record. The terms and provisions of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, this Confirmation Order, the Definitive Documents, all other relevant and necessary documents, and each of the foregoing’s schedules and exhibits shall, on and after the Effective Date, be binding in all respects upon, and shall, in the case of the Reorganized Debtors, inure to the benefit of, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates and their creditors, and their respective successors and assigns, any affected third parties, all Holders of Claims and Interests, whether known or unknown, against the Debtors, including to any trustees, examiners, administrators, responsible state officers, estate representatives, or similar entities for the Debtors, if any, subsequently appointed in any of these Chapter 11 Cases or upon a conversion to chapter 7 under the Bankruptcy Code of any of these Chapter 11 Cases, and each of their respective affiliates, successors, and assigns.

41

 

87.           Cancellation of Existing Securities, Agreements, and Interests. On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including with respect to the DIP LC Credit Agreement), this Confirmation Order, or other Definitive Documents (including the Plan Supplement and the New Debt Documents), as applicable, all notes, instruments, certificates, credit agreements, note purchase agreements, indentures, and other documents evidencing Claims (excluding Reinstated Claims and Unimpaired Claims, but including, for the avoidance of doubt, the RCF Credit Agreement, the QVC Notes Indentures, the LINTA Notes Indenture, the LINTA Promissory Note, the DIP LC Credit Agreement, and all related collateral and credit documentation to the extent provided in the Plan and, with respect to the DIP LC Credit Agreement, to the extent the obligations thereunder are satisfied in accordance with the DIP LC Credit Agreement, the DIP LC Orders, and the Plan), and Interests, shall, be canceled, and any rights of any Holder in respect thereof shall be deemed canceled and of no force or effect, and all prior, present and future obligations and liabilities, actions, suits, accounts or demands, or covenants (other than indemnities preserved by the Plan), under or in connection with the RCF Credit Agreement, the QVC Notes Indentures, the LINTA Notes Indenture, the LINTA Promissory Note, the DIP LC Credit Agreement the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and any Non-Debtor Affiliates, or any other parties thereunder, or in any way related thereto, shall be deemed satisfied in full, released, canceled, discharged, and of no force or effect, and the Agents/Trustees and each of the lenders and holders and their respective agents, successors and assigns, shall each be automatically and fully released and discharged of and from all duties and obligations thereunder without any need for further action or approval by the Bankruptcy Court or for a Holder to take further action; provided, that the Liens granted to the DIP LC Agent pursuant to the DIP LC Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all letters of credit thereunder are treated in accordance with the Plan, the DIP LC Credit Agreement, and the DIP LC Orders provided, further, that the rollover of DIP Letters of Credit into the Exit ABL Facility in accordance with the Plan shall be deemed to satisfy the lien release requirements under the DIP LC Credit Agreement, the DIP LC Orders, and the Plan.

42

 

88.           Effectiveness of All Actions. All actions contemplated by the Plan, including all actions in connection with or pursuant to the RSA and the Definitive Documents, as may be modified, in accordance with their respective terms, from time to time prior to the Effective Date (including any restructuring transaction steps set forth in one or more exhibits to the Plan Supplement), are hereby effective and authorized to be taken on, prior to, or after the Effective Date, as applicable, under this Confirmation Order, without further application to, or order of the Bankruptcy Court, or further action by the respective officers, directors, managers, members, or equityholders of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and with the effect that such actions had been taken by the unanimous action, consent, approval, and vote of each of such officers, directors, managers, members, or equityholders.

89.           Restructuring Transactions. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, are authorized to enter into and effectuate the Restructuring Transactions contemplated by the Plan, the RSA, and the other Definitive Documents, and to take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) that are consistent with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan (and in accordance with the RSA Rights, where applicable) including the transactions described in Article IV.C and Article VI.N of the Plan and in the Restructuring Steps Plan. Any transfers of assets or equity interests effectuated or any obligations incurred through the Restructuring Transactions are hereby approved and shall not constitute fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers or otherwise be subject to avoidance. To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, all transfers contemplated herein and in the Plan shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, transfer tax, sales tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental assessment. Distributions of the QVC New Equity Interests and the Other Securities and other instruments pursuant to the Plan, in each case, comply with applicable securities laws.

43

 

90.           Distributions. The provisions governing distributions contained in Article VI of the Plan are approved in their entirety.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the injunctions set forth above do not enjoin Claims or Causes of Action against the Exculpated Parties or the Released Parties, as applicable, that relate to (a) the rights of any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest (as applicable) to receive distributions under the Plan; (b) any post-Plan Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, this Confirmation Order, any Restructuring Transaction, or any document, instrument, or Agreement (including any Definitive Document, the New Debt Documents, the New Organizational Documents, and other documents set forth in the Plan Supplement), executed to implement the Plan or any claim or obligation arising under the Plan; or (c) Claims or Causes of Action related to any act or omission that is determined in a Final Order by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud or willful misconduct.

All parties’ rights to challenge any such rights or interests on any ground other than the Plan or this Confirmation Order are expressly preserved.


72

 

 

138.            Nothing in the Plan or this Confirmation Order shall be deemed to affect the Surety’s right, if any, to seek the refund or return of any payment made to United States Customs and Border Control under the Travelers Bonds; provided, however, that any such right shall be subject to any other party’s right to challenge the Surety’s interest in or entitlement to refund or return on any grounds other than the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

 

139.            Nothing in the Plan or this Confirmation Order shall relieve any applicable Debtor or non-Debtor (including for the avoidance of doubt the Reorganized Debtors and their Non-Debtor Affiliates, as applicable) of any obligations under the Travelers Bonds, Existing Surety Agreements, or under applicable nonbankruptcy law, including but not limited to the common law of suretyship (as may be applicable under the circumstances) and/or any statutory law or regulation.

147.            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, the Liens granted in connection with the Exit Financing shall not encumber (a) leasehold interests of non-residential real property that prohibit or restrict the granting of such Liens in the applicable Unexpired Lease except as permitted pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy Law (but shall include the proceeds of the sale or disposition of such Unexpired Leases) and (b) any security deposits (in possession of the landlord) or the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’, as applicable, interests, if any, in prepaid rent, unless Liens on such security deposits or prepaid rent are expressly permitted pursuant to the underlying lease documents; provided that the Liens granted in connection with the Exit Financing shall extend to any such security deposits or prepaid rent upon reversion thereof to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, if applicable, if at all.
