01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard Transfer of Listing
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard Transfer of Listing. On June 10, 2024, Qurate Retail, Inc. (the "Company") received written notice (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company's Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("QRTEA"), has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of QRTEA on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of QRTEA, the Company's Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Company's 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 9, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of QRTEA must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to December 9, 2024. If at any time during this 180-day compliance period the closing bid price of QRTEA meets these requirements, then Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with respect to QRTEA by December 9, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if it applies to transfer the listing of QRTEA to the Nasdaq Capital
