ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Liberty Media Corporation (Nasdaq: LCAPA, LCAPB, LINTA, LINTB, LSTZA, LSTZB), and QVC, Inc. today announced the refinancing of QVC's bank credit facilities with a new Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver"). The Revolver is a multi-currency facility, provides a line of credit of up to $2 billion and replaces QVC's existing credit facilities set to expire between 2011 and March 2014. Of the $2 billion of capacity available on the Revolver, QVC drew the USD equivalent of $1.83 billion at closing.

"We are pleased with the successful refinance of QVC's bank debt," said Greg Maffei, President and CEO of Liberty. "The new facilities enhance QVC's credit profile and further strengthen its balance sheet by providing additional financial flexibility and liquidity."

The interest rate on the Revolver is at a lower rate than the weighted average rate of the previous bank credit facilities and the Revolver extends maturities to September 2015. QVC's maximum leverage ratio covenant under the Revolver is 3.5x (as compared to 3.75x currently), through September 2012 and 3.25x thereafter. The Revolver is secured by the stock of QVC and certain of its subsidiaries.
