QVC Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: QVCGA, QVCGB, QVCGP), a Fortune 500 company with six leading retail brands, has announced that it will be holding its virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Monday, May 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. M.T. The meeting will be accessible to stockholders of record as of the record date, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 24, 2025. Stockholders will need the 16-digit control number printed on their proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to enter the virtual Annual Meeting website.
The date of the Annual Meeting has been advanced by more than 20 days from the anniversary date of last year's annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on June 10, 2024. As a result, the deadline for stockholder proposals for consideration at the Annual Meeting and stockholder nominees for election to the board of directors at the Annual Meeting has been moved up to March 3, 2025. This earlier deadline may impact the timeline for stockholders to prepare, submit, and gain support for their proposals or nominations.
The reason for the advancement of the Annual Meeting date is to allow sufficient time for QVC Group to implement a proposed reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of Series A and Series B common stock. This action is intended to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the Series A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if necessary. A reverse stock split typically involves reducing the number of outstanding shares and increasing the price per share, which can have both short-term and long-term effects on the company's stock price, market capitalization, and overall investor sentiment.
In addition to the virtual Annual Meeting, access to the meeting will be available on the Investor Relations page of the QVC Group, Inc. website (https://investors.qvcgrp.com). An archive of the webcast will also be available on this website after appropriate filings have been made with the SEC.

The virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders is an opportunity for QVC Group to engage with its stockholders, address their concerns, and discuss the company's strategic plans for the future. By hosting the meeting virtually, QVC Group can increase accessibility for stockholders and promote more inclusive participation in the governance process. However, the advancement of the meeting date and the compressed timeline for stockholder proposals and nominations may present challenges for some stockholders in effectively participating in the process.
