[ ], 2012

Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders of Liberty Interactive Corporation (Liberty) to be held at [ ], local time, on July , 2012, at the corporate offices of Starz, LLC, 8900 Liberty Circle, Englewood, CO 80112, telephone (720) 852-7700. A notice of the annual meeting, a proxy card, and a proxy statement/prospectus containing important information about the matters to be acted on at the annual meeting accompany this letter.

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on the following:

•: the Tracking Stock Proposal, a proposal to create a new tracking stock to be designated the Liberty Ventures common stock and make certain conforming changes to our existing Liberty Interactive common stock and our certificate of incorporation;
•: the Adjournment Proposal, a proposal to authorize the adjournment of the annual meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, if sufficient votes are not represented at the annual meeting to approve the Tracking Stock Proposal (which, together with the Tracking Stock Proposal, we refer to as the Transaction Proposals);
•: the Election of Directors Proposal, a proposal to elect Gregory B. Maffei, Michael A. George and M. LaVoy Robison to continue serving as Class II members of our board of directors until the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal;
•: the Auditors Ratification Proposal, a proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 (which, together with the Election of Directors Proposal, we refer to as the Annual Business Matters Proposals and, together with the Transaction Proposals, we refer to as the Proposals); and
•: such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting.

As described above the Tracking Stock Proposal is a proposal to amend and restate our certificate of incorporation (as amended and restated, our restated charter) to create a new tracking stock to be designated the Liberty Ventures common stock and to make certain conforming changes to our existing Liberty Interactive common stock (as amended, the Liberty Interactive common stock), which we refer to as the recapitalization. The Liberty Ventures common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses and assets to be attributed to the Ventures Group, which will initially include our interests in Expedia, Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc., Tree.com, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., other smaller assets and investments in Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc. and AOL, Inc., as well as cash in the amount of approximately $1.588 million (which includes proceeds from the sale of shares of TripAdvisor, Inc. in May 2012). In addition, we would attribute to the Ventures Group the publicly traded exchangeable debentures in the principal amount of approximately $2,965 million (as of March 31, 2012) of our subsidiary Liberty Interactive LLC and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Interactive Group would have attributed to it the remainder of our businesses and assets, including our subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, CommerceHub and LMC Right Start, Inc., our equity interest in HSN, Inc. and approximately $500 million in cash. In addition, we would attribute to the Interactive Group liabilities that reside with QVC and the other entities listed as well as the publicly traded senior notes in the principal amount of approximately $1,100 million (as of March 31, 2012) of our subsidiary Liberty Interactive LLC and certain deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, if the Tracking Stock Proposal is approved and the Liberty Ventures common stock is issued, our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will no longer reflect the performance of the businesses and assets of Liberty as a whole.

The Liberty board of directors has determined, if the Tracking Stock Proposal is approved and certain other conditions are satisfied or, where applicable, waived, to distribute the newly created Liberty Ventures

Table of Contents

common stock and subscription rights to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock immediately following the recapitalization (collectively, the distribution). Each whole subscription right will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock at a subscription price to be determined following the distribution, as described in more detail below. This offering (the rights offering) for approximately 10,000,000 shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock will commence once the subscription price for the rights has been determined and will remain open for 20 trading days. The exact number of shares to be offered in the rights offering will depend on the number of outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive common stock on the record date for the distribution. We refer to the recapitalization, the distribution and the rights offering collectively as the Transaction.

If all conditions to the recapitalization and distribution are satisfied or, where applicable, waived, upon the filing of our restated charter, the recapitalization will occur, and each outstanding share of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will become, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, one share of the corresponding series of Liberty Interactive common stock. At 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the recapitalization (such date and time, the distribution record date), (i) each holder of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock will receive (a) 0.05 of a share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock held by them as of the distribution record date and (b) ¹/3 of a subscription right to purchase one share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock (a Series A Right) for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution, and (ii) each holder of our existing Series B Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date will receive (a) 0.05 of a share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock held by them as of the distribution record date and (b) ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution. Cash will be issued in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, and fractional Series A Rights will be rounded up to the nearest whole right. No rights to purchase shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock will be issued in the distribution. Based on the numbers of shares of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2012, we expect to distribute approximately 28.5 million shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and 1.5 million shares of our Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to holders of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock, respectively, in the distribution.

It is important to note that, following the Transaction, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock will have no direct investment in the businesses or assets attributed to the Interactive Group, and holders of Liberty Ventures common stock will have no direct investment in the businesses or assets attributed to the Ventures Group. Rather, an investment in either tracking stock will represent an ownership interest in our company as a whole.

In the rights offering, each Series A Right will entitle the holder to a basic subscription privilege and an oversubscription privilege. Under the basic subscription privilege, each whole Series A Right entitles its holder to purchase one share of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock at a subscription price equal to a 20% discount to the 20 trading day volume weighted average trading price of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock beginning on the first day on which the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock begins trading "regular way" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the distribution (the subscription price). Under the oversubscription privilege, each rightsholder which exercises its basic subscription privilege, in full, will have the right to subscribe, at the subscription price, for up to that number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock which are not purchased by rightsholders under their basic subscription privilege. If a rightsholder delivers an oversubscription request for shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and we receive oversubscription requests for more shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock than we have available for oversubscription, the rightsholder will receive its pro rata portion of the available shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock based on the number of shares it purchased under its basic subscription privilege or, if less, the number of shares for which it oversubscribed. All exercises of Series A Rights are irrevocable even if our board determines, in its sole discretion, to extend the expiration time. The rights offering will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 20th trading day following the commencement of the rights offering, unless we extend it, with the length of such extension to be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion. However, we may not extend the expiration time of the rights offering for more than 25 trading days past the original 20 trading day period. If we do not complete the rights offering by the 45th trading day of the subscription period, we will cause the subscription agent to return to each exercising holder the entirety of such holder's aggregate subscription price previously paid. If the rights offering is fully subscribed, based on the number of shares of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding as of

Table of Contents

April 30, 2012 and based on the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock expected to be issued in the distribution as described above, we expect that approximately 35.8 million shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock would be outstanding following the completion of the rights offering.

We expect to list the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols "LVNTA" and "LVNTB," respectively, and the Series A Rights on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "LVNAR"; however, the Series A Rights will not be tradeable until after the per share subscription price is determined and announced. Following the recapitalization, the Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols "LINTA" and "LINTB," respectively.

Our board of directors has unanimously approved each Proposal, and unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of each director nominee and "FOR" the Tracking Stock Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Auditors Ratification Proposal.

Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, please vote as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support and interest in Liberty.

Very truly yours,

Gregory B. Maffei
President and Chief Executive Officer

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information about the annual meeting and how to vote your shares.

Q:: What stockholder vote is required to approve the Tracking Stock Proposal?

Q: What stockholder vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal?

A:: The Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date that are present, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.
Q:: What stockholder vote is required to approve the Election of Directors Proposal?
A:: A plurality of the affirmative votes of the outstanding shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock that are entitled to vote at the annual meeting and are voted in person or by proxy, voting together as a single class, is required to elect Messrs. Maffei, George and Robison as Class II members of our board.

Q: What stockholder vote is required to approve the Auditors Ratification Proposal?

A:: The Auditors Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date that are present, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.
Q:: How many votes do stockholders have?
A:: At the annual meeting, (i) holders of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock have one vote per share and (ii) holders of our existing Series B Liberty Interactive common stock have ten votes per share. Only shares owned as of the record date are eligible to vote at the annual meeting.

As of the record date for the annual meeting, Liberty's directors and executive officers beneficially owned approximately [ ]% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of our existing

Table of Contents

Liberty Interactive common stock. Liberty has been informed that all of its executive officers and directors intend to vote "FOR" the election of each director nominee and "FOR" each of the Tracking Stock Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Auditors Ratification Proposal.

Q:: What if the Tracking Stock Proposal is not approved?
A:: The Tracking Stock Proposal must be approved for the Transaction to be completed. If the Tracking Stock Proposal is not approved, our restated charter will not be filed, and no shares of Liberty Ventures common stock will be distributed to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock in the distribution. Further, the rights offering will not be effected.
Q:: Why is Liberty seeking approval of the Adjournment Proposal?
A:: To ensure that a sufficient number of shares are voted to be able to determine whether the Tracking Stock Proposal has been approved or not approved, Liberty may need to adjourn the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies. In that case, if the Adjournment Proposal does not receive the requisite approval at the annual meeting, Liberty may need to call a new stockholders meeting at which it may again seek stockholder approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal, which could significantly delay Liberty's ability to complete the Transaction.
Q:: What do stockholders need to do to vote on the Proposals?
A:: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card by mail, or vote by telephone or through the Internet, in each case as soon as possible so that your shares are represented and voted at the annual meeting. Instructions for voting by telephone or through the Internet are printed on the proxy voting instructions attached to the proxy card. In order to vote through the Internet, have your proxy card available so you can input the required information from the card, and log onto the Internet website address shown on the proxy card. When you log onto the Internet website address, you will receive instructions on how to vote your shares. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by use of a personal identification number, which will be provided to each voting stockholder separately.

Stockholders who have shares registered in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee should follow the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank or other nominee in instructing them how to vote their shares. We recommend that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You may change your vote at the annual meeting.

If a proxy is properly executed and submitted by a record holder without indicating any voting instructions, the shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock represented by the proxy will be voted "FOR" the approval of each of the Proposals.

Q:: If shares are held in "street name" by a broker, bank or other nominee, will the broker, bank or other nominee vote those shares for the beneficial owner on the Proposals?
A:: If you hold your shares in "street name" and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your shares will not be voted on the Election of Directors Proposal or either of the Transaction Proposals. Accordingly, your broker, bank or other nominee will vote your shares held in "street name" on the Election of Directors Proposal and the Transaction Proposals only if you provide instructions on how to vote. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on the Election of Directors Proposal and the Transaction Proposals, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with

Table of Contents

respect to the Election of Directors Proposal or either of the Transaction Proposals, these shares are considered "broker non-votes" with respect to each such Proposal.

Broker non-votes will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is present, they will have no effect on either of the Annual Business Matters Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal but will be counted as a vote "AGAINST" the Tracking Stock Proposal (if a quorum is present). You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of common stock or when granting or revoking a proxy.

Q:: What if I do not vote on the Proposals?
A:: If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote in person at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, but your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether either of the Annual Business Matters Proposals or the Adjournment Proposal are approved (if a quorum is present). However, in the case of the Tracking Stock Proposal, your shares will be counted as a vote "AGAINST" the Tracking Stock Proposal. If you submit a proxy but do not indicate how you want to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote "FOR" each of the director nominees and each of the Transaction Proposals and Auditors Ratification Proposal.
Q:: What if a quorum is not present at the annual meeting?
A:: In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding on the record date must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. Although applicable New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market LLC rules do not permit discretionary voting by brokers with respect to the Proposals to be acted upon at the annual meeting (with the exception of the Auditors Ratification Proposal), broker non-votes will nevertheless count as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Liberty's bylaws until a quorum shall be present.
Q:: What if I respond and indicate that I am abstaining from voting?
A:: If you submit a proxy in which you indicate that you are abstaining from voting, your shares will count as present for purposes of determining a quorum and your proxy will have no effect on the Election of Directors Proposal and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" each of the Tracking Stock Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Auditors Ratification Proposal.
Q:: May stockholders change their vote after returning a proxy card or voting by telephone or over the Internet?
A:: Yes. You may change your vote by voting in person at the annual meeting or, before the start of the annual meeting, by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Liberty Interactive Corporation, c/o Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box [43102], Providence, Rhode Island 02940. Any proxy revocation or new proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting.

If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee who you previously contacted with voting instructions, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Q:: When will the recapitalization and distribution occur?
A:: We currently expect that, if the Tracking Stock Proposal is approved, we will complete the recapitalization and distribution as soon as practicable thereafter. We currently expect that at such time as all conditions to the recapitalization and distribution are satisfied or, where applicable, waived, we will file the restated charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the recapitalization. Prior to such time, the Liberty board of directors will declare a dividend (subject to, among other things, the approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal) to holders of record of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock to effect the distribution immediately following the recapitalization.
Q:: Can you terminate the recapitalization and the distribution?

Our board of directors reserves the right to terminate the recapitalization and the distribution at any time before we file the restated charter, even after the Tracking Stock Proposal has been approved by our stockholders and the other conditions to the recapitalization and distribution have been satisfied or waived, as applicable.

Q:

If the recapitalization and distribution are implemented, what do I need to do with my shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock?

A:

Regardless of how you hold your shares, you will not be required to take any action in connection with the recapitalization and the distribution. If you are a holder of certificated shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock:

•: each stock certificate you hold representing shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will automatically represent the same number and series of shares of Liberty Interactive common stock following the recapitalization;
•: you will receive a stock certificate representing the number and series of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock you are entitled to receive in the distribution with respect to the shares of Liberty Interactive common stock held by you as of the distribution record date, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares; and
•: you will receive a rights certificate representing the number of Series A Rights you are entitled to receive in the distribution with respect to the shares of Liberty Ventures common stock you are entitled to receive in the distribution.

If you hold shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock through book-entry, your account will be credited with the applicable number and series of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights you are entitled to receive in the distribution with respect to your shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock.

Q:: What do I do if I have additional questions?
A:: If you have any questions prior to the annual meeting or if you would like copies of any document referred to or incorporated by reference in this document, please call Investor Relations at (720) 875-5408.

Table of Contents

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information about the rights offering and the tax consequences of the Transaction. You should read carefully the entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the additional documents incorporated by reference herein, to fully understand the rights offering.

Q:

What is a rights offering?

A:

A rights offering is a distribution of subscription rights on a pro rata basis to all shareholders of a company. Immediately following the recapitalization, we are distributing:

•: to holders of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date, ¹/3 of a transferable subscription right (a Series A Right) for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution; and
•: to holders of our existing Series B Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date, ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution.

Q:

What is a Series A Right?

A:

Each whole Series A Right entitles its holder to purchase one share of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock at a subscription price equal to a 20% discount to the 20 trading day volume weighted average trading price of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock beginning on the first day on which the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock begins trading "regular way" (meaning once the common stock trades using a standard settlement cycle) on the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the distribution (the subscription price).

Q:

What is the basic subscription privilege?

A:

The basic subscription privilege entitles each holder of a whole Series A Right to purchase one share of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for the subscription price.

Q:

What is the oversubscription privilege?

A:

The oversubscription privilege entitles each holder of a whole Series A Right, if the holder fully exercises its basic subscription privilege, to subscribe at the subscription price for up to that number of shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that are offered in the rights offering but are not purchased by the other rightsholders under their basic subscription privilege.

Q:

What are the limitations on the oversubscription privilege?

A:

We will be able to satisfy exercises of the oversubscription privilege only if rightsholders subscribe for less than all of the shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that may be purchased under the basic subscription privilege of the Series A Rights. If sufficient shares are available, we will honor the oversubscription requests in full. If oversubscription requests exceed the shares available, we will allocate the available shares pro rata among those who oversubscribed in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that each rightsholder purchases pursuant to its basic subscription privilege or, if less, the number of shares for which it oversubscribed.

Q:

How will fractional Series A Rights be treated in the rights offering?

A:

We will not issue, or pay cash in lieu of, fractional rights. Instead, we will round up any fractional Series A Right to the nearest whole right.

Table of Contents

Q:: Do the Series A Rights provide the holder with any right to subscribe for shares of Liberty Interactive common stock or shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock?
A:: No. Series A Rights only entitle the holders to subscribe for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock. We will not distribute any rights to subscribe for shares of Liberty Interactive common stock or shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock in the rights offering.
Q:: Why are you only distributing rights to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and not rights to purchase shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock in the rights offering?
A:: The board determined not to distribute rights to purchase shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock due to the significantly fewer number of shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock expected to be held by non-affiliates (approximately 86,000 shares) relative to the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock expected to be held by non-affiliates (approximately 35.6 million shares). As a holder will receive only ¹/3 of a right for each share of Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the recapitalization, we believe that the number of rights to subscribe for shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock would have been too few to permit any meaningful trading market for those rights.
Q:: When will the rights offering commence and when will it expire?
A:: The rights offering will commence upon the determination of the subscription price, which we expect to occur promptly following the 20th "regular way" trading day after the distribution is completed. The rights offering will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 20th trading day following the commencement of the rights offering (such date and time, the expiration time), unless we extend it. We may extend the expiration time for any reason and for any length of time at the discretion of our board of directors. However, we may not extend the expiration time of the rights offering for more than 25 trading days past the original 20 trading day period. If we do not complete the rights offering by the 45th trading day of the subscription period, we will cause the subscription agent to return to each exercising holder the entirety of such holder's aggregate subscription price previously paid. We will announce by press release the determination of the subscription price, the commencement of the rights offering and the scheduled expiration time.
Q:: Are there any conditions to the consummation of the rights offering?
A:: The consummation of the rights offering is subject to the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of the conditions to the recapitalization and the distribution.
Q:: Can you terminate the rights offering?
A:: Yes. Even if the recapitalization and the distribution are effected, we may terminate the rights offering for any reason before the expiration time.
Q:: If you terminate the rights offering, will my subscription payment be refunded to me?
A:: Yes. If we terminate the rights offering, the subscription agent will return all subscription payments promptly. We will not pay interest on, or deduct any amounts from, subscription payments if we terminate the rights offering.

Table of Contents

Q:: Why are you conducting the rights offering and how will you use the proceeds received from the rights offering?
A:: We are conducting the rights offering to raise capital for general corporate purposes. The proceeds will be attributed to the Ventures Group and may be used, among other purposes, for investments in new business opportunities to be attributed to that group. We determined to offer our stockholders a 20% discount on the subscription price, and based the number of Series A Rights to distribute in the rights offering on the amount of proceeds, after any deductions for expenses related to the rights offering, we wish to raise.
Q:: Why are you conducting a rights offering in lieu of utilizing another form of financing?
A:: We have decided to obtain additional liquidity for the Ventures Group by issuing equity rather than incurring additional debt. Approximately $2,965 million of debt will initially be attributed to the Ventures Group, and we did not view the issuance and attribution of additional debt to the Ventures Group as prudent given the composition of the assets attributed to that group. We decided to use a rights offering rather than a more conventional equity offering to provide Liberty's shareholders with the opportunity to make an additional investment in the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock at a discount.
Q:: How many shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock do you expect to be outstanding following the rights offering?
A:: Based on 529,654,238 shares of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and 28,984,735 shares of our existing Series B Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2012 (exclusive of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock), and assuming the rights offering is fully subscribed, we would have outstanding approximately 35.8 million shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock immediately following the completion of the rights offering.
Q:: How might the rights offering affect the trading price of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock?
A:: We cannot assure you as to how the rights offering will impact the trading price of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock. Historically, due to the inclusion of a discounted subscription price and the resulting dilution, rights offerings have adversely impacted the trading price of the underlying shares, especially during the period the rights offering remains open. However, the market price typically rebounds once the rights offering is completed and the subscription proceeds have been received by the issuer.
Q:: How do I exercise my Series A Rights?
A:: Subscription materials, including rights certificates, will be made available to holders upon the commencement of the rights offering. Each holder who wishes to exercise the basic subscription privilege under its Series A Rights should properly complete and sign its rights certificate and deliver the rights certificate together with payment of the subscription price for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock subscribed for to the subscription agent before the expiration time. Each holder who further wishes to exercise the oversubscription privilege under its rights must also include payment of the subscription price for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock subscribed for under the oversubscription privilege. We recommend that any rightsholder who uses the United States mail to effect delivery to the subscription agent use insured, registered mail with return receipt requested. Any holder who cannot deliver its rights certificate to the subscription agent before the expiration time may use the procedures for

Table of Contents

guaranteed delivery described under the heading "The Rights Offering—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." We will not pay interest on subscription payments. We have provided more detailed instructions on how to exercise the rights under the heading "The Rights Offering" beginning with the section entitled "—Exercising Your Series A Rights," in the rights certificates themselves and in the document entitled "Instructions for Use of Series A Rights Certificates" that accompanies this prospectus.

Q:: How may I pay my subscription price?
A:: Your cash payment of the subscription price must be made by either check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank or postal, telegraphic or express money order payable to the subscription agent.
Q:: What should I do if I want to participate in the rights offering but my shares of Liberty Interactive common stock will be held in the name of my broker or a custodian bank on the distribution record date?
A:: We will ask brokers, dealers and nominees holding shares of Liberty Interactive common stock on behalf of other persons to notify these persons of the rights offering. Any beneficial owner wishing to sell or exercise its Series A Rights will need to have its broker, dealer or nominee act on its behalf. Each beneficial owner should complete and return to its broker, dealer or nominee the form entitled "Beneficial Owner Election Form." This form will be available with the other subscription materials from brokers, dealers and nominees holding shares of Liberty Interactive common stock on behalf of other persons on the distribution record date.
Q:: Will I receive subscription materials by mail if my address is outside the United States?
A:: No. We will not mail rights certificates to any person with an address outside the United States. Instead, the subscription agent will hold rights certificates for the account of all foreign holders. To exercise those Series A Rights, each such holder must notify the subscription agent on or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth day before the expiration date, and establish to the satisfaction of the subscription agent that it is permitted to exercise its Series A Rights under applicable law. The subscription agent will attempt to sell, if feasible, the Series A Rights held on behalf of any foreign holder who fails to notify the subscription agent and provide acceptable instructions to it by such time (and assuming no contrary instructions are received). The estimated proceeds, if any, of any such sale will be payable to the applicable foreign holder.
Q:: Will I be charged any fees if I exercise my Series A Rights?
A:: We will not charge a fee to holders for exercising their rights. However, any holder exercising its rights through a broker, dealer or nominee will be responsible for any fees charged by its broker, dealer or nominee.
Q:: May I transfer my Series A Rights if I do not want to purchase any shares?
A:: Yes. The Series A Rights being distributed to our shareholders are transferable, and we anticipate that they will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the determination of the subscription price and will cease trading at the close of market immediately prior to the expiration time. However, we cannot assure you that a trading market for the Series A Rights will develop.
Q:: How may I sell my Series A Rights?
A:: Any holder who wishes to sell its Series A Rights should contact its broker or dealer. Any holder who wishes to sell its Series A Rights may also seek to sell the Series A Rights through the

Table of Contents

subscription agent. Each holder will be responsible for all fees associated with the sale of its Series A Rights, whether the Series A Rights are sold through its own broker or dealer or the subscription agent. We cannot assure you that any person, including the subscription agent, will be able to sell any Series A Rights on your behalf. Please see "The Rights Offering—Method of Transferring and Selling Series A Rights" for more information.

Q:: Am I required to subscribe in the rights offering?
A:: No. However, any stockholder who chooses not to exercise its Series A Rights will experience dilution to its equity interest in our Liberty Ventures common stock and in our company.
Q:: If I exercise Series A Rights in the rights offering, may I cancel or change my decision?
A:: No. All exercises of Series A Rights are irrevocable.
Q:: If I exercise my Series A Rights, when will I receive the shares for which I have subscribed?
A:: We will issue the shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for which subscriptions have been properly delivered to the subscription agent prior to the expiration time as soon as practicable following the expiration time. We will not be able to calculate the number of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock to be issued to each exercising rightsholder until the third business day after the expiration time, which is the latest time by which rights certificates may be delivered to the subscription agent under the guaranteed delivery procedures described under "The Rights Offering—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that you purchase in the rights offering will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Q:: Have you or your board of directors made a recommendation as to whether I should exercise or sell my Series A Rights or how I should pay my subscription price?
A:: No. Neither we nor our board of directors has made any recommendation as to whether you should exercise or transfer your Series A Rights. You should decide whether to transfer your Series A Rights, subscribe for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, or simply take no action with respect to your Series A Rights, based on your own assessment of your best interests.
Q:: What are the tax consequences of the Transaction to me?
A:: It is a nonwaivable condition to the Transaction that we receive an opinion from our tax counsel to the effect that, among other things, no income, gain, or loss will be recognized by you for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the recapitalization and distribution (except with respect to the receipt by you of any cash in lieu of fractional shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock). Shareholders who receive Series A Rights in the distribution will not recognize taxable income in connection with the exercise of the Series A Rights. Any holder who sells its Series A Rights generally will recognize gain or loss upon such sale. For a complete summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction to holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, please see the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences."
Q:: What should I do if I have other questions?
A:: If you have questions or need assistance, please contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent for the rights offering, at: 1-888-628-9011.

SUMMARY

The following summary relates to the Transaction and includes information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the important information that you should consider before voting on the Transaction Proposals, investing in Liberty Ventures common stock or exercising the Series A Rights. You should read the entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents incorporated by reference herein, carefully. Throughout this proxy statement/prospectus, we refer to Liberty Interactive Corporation as "Liberty", "we" and "our company." In addition, the information described under "Questions and Answers" above is hereby incorporated in this summary by this reference.

General

Liberty Interactive Corporation (formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation) owns interests in subsidiaries and other companies which are primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries. Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we operate in North America, Europe and Asia. Our principal businesses and assets include our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc. (QVC), Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, CommerceHub and LMC Right Start, Inc., and our equity affiliate Expedia, Inc.

Our principal executive offices are located at 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112. Our main telephone number is (720) 875-5300 and our website is located at www.libertyinteractive.com. The information contained on our website is not a part of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Transaction

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to vote on the Tracking Stock Proposal, which, if approved and implemented, would result in the amendment and restatement of our certificate of incorporation (as amended and restated, the restated charter) to create a new tracking stock to be designated the Liberty Ventures common stock and to make certain conforming changes to our existing Liberty Interactive common stock.

The new Liberty Ventures common stock would be intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the Ventures Group, which would initially have attributed to it our interests in Expedia, Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc., Tree.com, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., other smaller assets and investments in Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc. and AOL, Inc., as well as cash in the amount of approximately $1,588 million (which includes proceeds from the sale of shares of TripAdvisor, Inc. in May 2012). The Ventures Group would have attributed to it the publicly traded exchangeable debentures in the principal amount of approximately $2,965 million (as of March 31, 2012) of our subsidiary Liberty Interactive LLC (Liberty LLC) and certain deferred tax liabilities. Our management intends for the Ventures Group to be primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities.

The Liberty Interactive common stock would be intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the Interactive Group, which would have attributed to it the remainder of our businesses and assets, including our operating subsidiaries QVC, Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, CommerceHub and LMC Right Start, Inc., as well as our interest in HSN, Inc. and cash in the amount of approximately $500 million. The Interactive Group would have attributed to it liabilities that reside with QVC and the other entities listed as well as the publicly traded outstanding senior notes in the principal amount of approximately $1,100 million (as of March 31, 2012) of our subsidiary Liberty LLC and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Interactive Group would be primarily focused on video and e-commerce operating businesses.

Table of Contents

The percentage of total revenues, net income, total assets and total liabilities of our company that we intend to be attributable to each of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, as of March 31, 2012, are as follows:



Interactive Group	100	%	127	%	87	%	60	%
Ventures Group	—	%	(27	)%	13	%	40	%

Tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or "track" the economic performance of a particular business or "group," rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. While the Interactive Group and Ventures Group would have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, neither of these groups will be separate legal entities and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of tracking stocks have no direct claim to the group's assets and are not represented by a separate board of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation.

If the Tracking Stock Proposal is approved, the recapitalization would be effected by filing the restated charter, in the form of Annex C hereto, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon such filing, the Liberty Ventures common stock will be created and certain conforming changes will be made to our existing Liberty Interactive common stock. Our board of directors has determined to distribute Liberty Ventures common stock and subscription rights to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to the holders of our Liberty Interactive common stock following this recapitalization. To effect this distribution, prior to the recapitalization our board will declare a dividend, subject to the receipt of the requisite approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal and the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of all other conditions to the recapitalization and distribution, pursuant to which the following distribution would occur:

•: each holder of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock would receive (i) 0.05 of a share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock held by such holder as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the recapitalization (the distribution record date), and (ii) ¹/3 of a transferable subscription right to purchase one share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock (a Series A Right) for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution; and
•: each holder of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock would receive (i) 0.05 of a share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock held such holder as of the distribution record date and (ii) ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution.

Cash will be issued in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, and fractional Series A Rights will be rounded up to the nearest whole right.

The number of outstanding shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock will not change as a result of the recapitalization. However, the terms of our Liberty Interactive common stock will be conformed in the recapitalization to reflect the fact that there will only be one other tracking stock authorized by our restated charter, the Liberty Ventures common stock. Currently, our restated certificate of incorporation (our current charter) authorizes two other tracking stocks, the Liberty Capital common stock and the Liberty Starz common stock, of which no shares have been outstanding since the September 23, 2011 split-off of our former Capital and Starz

Table of Contents

Groups (the LMC Split-Off). As a result of the LMC Split-Off, our existing Liberty Interactive common stock became our only series of issued and outstanding common stock, and the provisions contained in our current charter with respect to the Liberty Capital common stock, the Liberty Starz common stock, the Capital Group and the Starz Group ceased to be applicable. Our restated charter eliminates the remnants of our prior capital structure. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter" for a discussion of these conforming changes. Our restated charter would also continue to authorize the issuance of Series C Liberty Interactive common stock and would authorize the issuance of Series C Liberty Ventures common stock, in each case, none of which would initially be issued.

The following summarizes selected terms of the Tracking Stock Proposal and the Transaction. For more information, please see "The Tracking Stock Proposal" and "The Rights Offering."


The Tracking Stock Proposal; Our Restated Charter		Under the Tracking Stock Proposal, you are being asked to approve our restated charter. As a result of the recapitalization, instead of reflecting the performance of the businesses and assets of Liberty as a whole, as is currently reflected by our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Interactive common stock would be intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the modified Interactive Group, and the Liberty Ventures common stock would be intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the new Ventures Group. However, our board of directors reserves the right to change the businesses, assets and liabilities attributable to these groups at anytime in accordance with our management and allocation policies. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Management and Allocation Policies."
		As is the case with our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will each be divided into three series: the Series A common stock, the Series B common stock and the Series C common stock. The Series B common stock of each group will entitle the holder to 10 votes per share, the Series A common stock of each group will entitle the holder to 1 vote per share and the Series C common stock of each group will not entitle the holder to any voting rights, except to the extent required under Delaware law. The per share voting rights of each of the three series of existing Liberty Interactive common stock will not be changed by our restated charter; however, the aggregate voting power in our company represented by the outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive common stock will be diluted as a result of the issuance of the Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution and the rights offering. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Proposed Tracking Stock Structure—The Transaction may result in a dilution of the aggregate voting power held by the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock" and Risk Factors—Risk Factors Relating to the Rights Offering—Stockholders who do not exercise their Series A Rights will experience dilution."

		Other differences among the common stocks of the two groups, and among the series of each group's common stock, are described under "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter."
Reasons for the Tracking Stock Proposal, the Recapitalization and the Distribution		If the Tracking Stock Proposal is approved, we expect the Transaction to, among other things:
		• increase transparency for our investors by enabling the investment community to focus more attention on the performance of the separate businesses and assets attributed to each group, which should thereby encourage greater market recognition of the value of all of our businesses and assets and enhance stockholder value;
		• provide greater access to capital markets by enhancing investor awareness of the businesses and assets attributed to each group, better aligning investor bases and permitting investors to pursue distinct investment strategies;
		• raise capital for investment in new business opportunities to be attributed to the Ventures Group through the rights offering;
		• facilitate strategic acquisitions for the Interactive Group by creating a stronger acquisition currency with respect to the Liberty Interactive common stock, which will be a pure-play stock focused on our video and e-commerce businesses; and
		• provide our company with a greater ability to tailor management and employee incentives that are more closely aligned with the performance of the underlying businesses and assets attributed to each group.
		For a more detailed discussion of the background and positive and potentially negative results of the approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal, see "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Background and Reasons for the Tracking Stock Proposal."

Table of Contents


Not a Spin Off		Approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal will not result in a spin off of the businesses and assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group. All of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to both of the groups will remain part of our company. Our board of directors believes that stockholder value may be enhanced by creating from our company's businesses, assets and liabilities two separate series of tracking stock, one intended to track and reflect the economic performance of our video and e-commerce businesses and assets, which would be attributed to the Interactive Group, and the other intended to track and reflect the economic performance of our investments in those companies attributed to the Ventures Group. All of our businesses, however, would continue to benefit from the synergies of being part of the same company, such as an enhanced "consolidated" credit rating, possible tax benefits and shared treasury, finance and other functions. In the event businesses and assets of the Interactive Group and/or the Ventures Group were divided into separate companies, through a spin off or similar transaction, these synergies and benefits would no longer be available. No assurance can be given, however, that the benefits of each group being in the same company will exceed the potential value that could be realized if the groups were separate companies.
Management and Allocation Policies		In connection with the recapitalization and distribution, we are implementing management and allocation policies which are designed to assist us in managing and separately presenting the businesses and operations of the Interactive Group and Ventures Group. These policies establish guidelines to help us attribute debt, corporate overhead, interest, taxes and other shared benefits, liabilities or activities between the two groups. Our board may, in its sole discretion, modify these management and allocation policies at any time. Although our management and allocation policies do not require our company to notify our stockholders when an immaterial change to such policies has been made, we will notify our stockholders of any material modification, change or exception made to these policies, any rescission of these policies or adoption of any material additions to these policies through the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K.
No Effect on Management		No changes in management are currently planned as a result of the Transaction.

Table of Contents


Effect on Financial Statements		For purposes of preparing the financial information of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group included in this proxy statement/prospectus, we have attributed all of our consolidated assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows between these two groups. Following the Transaction, we will present unaudited consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement information that will show the attribution of our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flow between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group. In addition, we will present earnings per share for each of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock. We will, however, retain all beneficial ownership and control of the assets and operations we attribute to our two groups and you will be subject to the risks associated with an investment in our company as a whole.
The Rights Offering		The rights offering for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock will commence following the determination of the subscription price for the Series A Rights. Each Series A Right will entitle the holder to a basic subscription privilege and an oversubscription privilege. We will announce by press release the determination of the subscription price, the commencement of the rights offering and the intended expiration time of the rights offering. For more information, see "The Rights Offering."
Reasons for the Rights Offering		We are conducting the rights offering in order to raise capital for general corporate purposes. The proceeds will be attributed to the Ventures Group and may be used, among other purposes, for investments in new business opportunities to be attributed to that group.
Conditions to the Recapitalization and the Distribution		The recapitalization and the distribution are subject to the following conditions:
		• the receipt of the Tracking Stock Approval at the annual meeting;
		• the receipt of the opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (Skadden Arps) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Liberty to the effect that under applicable U.S. federal income tax law, (i) the recapitalization and distribution will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), (ii) the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will be treated as stock of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) the Series A Rights will be treated as rights of our company to

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Transaction		It is a nonwaivable condition to the completion of the Transaction that we receive the opinion of Skadden Arps in form and substance reasonably acceptable to us, to the effect that under applicable U.S. federal income tax law:
		• the recapitalization and distribution will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code
		• the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will be treated as stock of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
		• the Series A Rights will be treated as rights of our company to acquire stock of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
		• no gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Transaction;
		• holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will not recognize income, gain or loss as a result of the recapitalization and the receipt of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and the Series A Rights in the distribution (except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock); and
		• the Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Series A Rights will not constitute Section 306 stock within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code.
		Please see "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" for more information regarding the opinion of Skadden Arps.

Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards		Recapitalization and Distribution. As a result of the recapitalization and distribution, a holder of an option award or a stock appreciation right with respect to our existing Liberty Interactive common stock (such award, an original Interactive award) who is a director or a direct employee or consultant of Liberty will receive a new corresponding award with respect to shares of Liberty Ventures common stock (a new Ventures award) and an adjustment to his or her original Interactive award (an adjusted Interactive award), with the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the original Interactive award intended to be allocated between the new Ventures award and the adjusted Interactive award. Holders of original Interactive awards who are direct employees or consultants of any of Liberty's subsidiaries (all of which will be attributed to the Interactive Group following the recapitalization) will instead receive only an adjustment to their original Interactive awards as a result of the recapitalization and distribution, which adjustment is intended to preserve the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the original Interactive awards. All holders of outstanding restricted shares of Liberty Interactive common stock will receive restricted shares of Liberty Ventures common stock in the same manner as holders of outstanding unrestricted shares of Liberty Interactive common stock in the recapitalization and distribution. For additional information on the treatment of these equity awards in the recapitalization and the distribution, see "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Treatment of Stock Options and Other Awards."
		Rights Offering. Holders of options to purchase and stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, regardless of series, will not receive Series A Rights, unless they exercise their awards (where applicable) prior to the distribution record date and thus receive shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution. The compensation committee of our board of directors may make such equitable adjustments as it determines to be appropriate, if any, to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available pursuant to any such awards that remain outstanding and unexercised as of the distribution record date. Restricted shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding on the distribution record date will receive restricted shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution. These Series A Rights will not be subject to any similar vesting restrictions as apply to the restricted shares on which they were distributed due to the short-term nature of the rights offering. For additional information on the treatment of these equity awards in the rights offering, see "The Rights Offering—Treatment of Stock Options and Other Awards."
No Appraisal Rights		Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will not have appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction.

Risk Factors

Please see "Risk Factors" starting on page 25 for a discussion of risks that should be considered in connection with the Transaction and an investment in our common stock, including those relating to the following matters:

•

holders of our Liberty Interactive and Liberty Ventures common stock will be subject to risks associated with an investment in our company as a whole as opposed to an investment in one particular tracking stock group;

•

the stock prices of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock may not reflect the respective group's performance and could be adversely affected by events involving the assets and businesses attributed to the other group;

•

there may be potential conflicts of interest between holders of each of our tracking stock groups, and our board has not adopted any specific procedures for consideration of matters involving such conflicts of interest;

•

our board has the ability to elect to convert the common stock of one group into the common stock of the other group, which may result in a loss of value to certain of our stockholders;

•

because our tracking stock groups are not separate entities, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will not have the right to elect separate boards of directors, and our company's board of directors owes a fiduciary duty to all stockholders;

•

our board of directors may shift assets and liabilities between tracking stock groups and may change the focus or strategy of either or both groups in its sole discretion, at any time; and

•

holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock may receive less consideration upon a sale of the assets attributed to that group than if that group were a separate company.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in, incorporated by reference in or included as an Annex to this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to vote to approve the Tracking Stock Proposal or participate in the rights offering.

The risk factors described in this section have been separated into three groups:

•: risks that relate to our proposed tracking stock structure;
•: risks that relate to Liberty and the businesses to be attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group; and
•: risks that relate to the rights offering.

The risks described below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are not the only ones that relate to the Transaction and an investment in Liberty. The risks described below are considered to be the most material. However, there may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that also could have material adverse effects on Liberty or an investment in our common stock. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends may not foretell results or trends in future periods especially given the current economic environment.

If any of the events described below were to occur, the businesses, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows of Liberty could be materially adversely affected. In any such case, the price of any or all of our common stock could decline, perhaps significantly.

For the purposes of these risk factors, unless the context otherwise indicates, we have assumed that the Tracking Stock Proposal has been approved and that the recapitalization and distribution have been completed.

Risks Related to our Proposed Tracking Stock Structure

Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will be common stockholders of our company and are, therefore, subject to risks associated with an investment in our company as a whole, even if a holder does not own shares of common stock of both of our groups. Even though we have attributed, for financial reporting purposes, all of our consolidated assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to either the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group in order to prepare the separate financial statement schedules included in this proxy statement/prospectus for each of those groups, we retain legal title to all of our assets and our capitalization does not limit our legal responsibility, or that of our subsidiaries, for the liabilities included in any set of financial statement schedules. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will not have any legal rights related to specific assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group and, in any liquidation, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and holders of Liberty Ventures common stock will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of our available net assets based on their respective numbers of liquidation units. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter—Liquidation."

Our board of directors' ability to reattribute businesses, assets and expenses between tracking stock groups may make it difficult to assess the future prospects of either tracking stock group based on its past performance. Our board of directors is vested with discretion to reattribute businesses, assets and liabilities that are attributed to one tracking stock group to the other tracking stock group, without the approval of any of our stockholders. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Management and Allocation Policies." Any such reattribution made by our board, as well as the existence of the right in and of itself to effect a reattribution, may impact the ability of investors to assess the future prospects of

Table of Contents

either tracking stock group, including its liquidity and capital resource needs, based on its past performance.

We could be required to use assets attributed to one group to pay liabilities attributed to the other group. The assets attributed to one group are potentially subject to the liabilities attributed to the other group, even if those liabilities arise from lawsuits, contracts or indebtedness that are attributed to such other group. While our current management and allocation policies provide that reattributions of assets between groups will result in the creation of an inter-group loan or an inter-group interest or an offsetting reattribution of cash or other assets, no provision of our restated charter prevents us from satisfying liabilities of one group with assets of the other group, and our creditors will not in any way be limited by our tracking stock capitalization from proceeding against any assets they could have proceeded against if we did not have a tracking stock capitalization.

The market price of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may not reflect the performance of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively, as we intend. We cannot assure you that the market price of the common stock of a group will, in fact, reflect the performance of the group of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to that group. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will be common stockholders of our company as a whole and, as such, will be subject to all risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. As a result, the market price of each series of stock of a group may simply reflect the performance of our company as a whole or may more independently reflect the performance of some or all of the group of assets attributed to such group. In addition, investors may discount the value of the stock of a group because it is part of a common enterprise rather than a stand-alone entity.

The market price of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may be volatile, could fluctuate substantially and could be affected by factors that do not affect traditional common stock. We do not know how the market will react to the recapitalization and the distribution. In addition, to the extent the market prices of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock track the performance of more focused groups of businesses, assets and liabilities than our existing Liberty Interactive common stock does, the market prices of these new tracking stocks may be more volatile than the market price of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock has historically been. The market prices of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may be materially affected by, among other things:

•: actual or anticipated fluctuations in a group's operating results or in the operating results of particular companies attributable to such group;
•: potential acquisition activity by our company or the companies in which we invest;
•: issuances of debt or equity securities to raise capital by our company or the companies in which we invest and the manner in which that debt or the proceeds of an equity issuance are attributed to each of the groups;
•: changes in financial estimates by securities analysts regarding Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock or the companies attributable to either of our tracking stock groups;
•: the complex nature and the potential difficulties investors may have in understanding the terms of both of our tracking stocks, as well as concerns regarding the possible effect of certain of those terms on an investment in our stock; and
•: general market conditions.

Table of Contents

We cannot assure you that the combined market value of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock after the completion of the recapitalization and distribution will equal or exceed the current market value of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock. In addition, until an orderly trading market develops for Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock following the completion of the recapitalization and distribution, the trading prices of those stocks may fluctuate significantly.

The market value of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock could be adversely affected by events involving the assets and businesses attributed to either of the groups. Because we will be the issuer of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, an adverse market reaction to events relating to the assets and businesses attributed to either of our groups, such as earnings announcements or announcements of new products or services, acquisitions or dispositions that the market does not view favorably, may cause an adverse reaction to the common stock of our other group. This could occur even if the triggering event is not material to us as a whole. A certain triggering event may also have a greater impact on one group than the same triggering event would have on the other group due to the asset composition of the affected group. In addition, the incurrence of significant indebtedness by us or any of our subsidiaries on behalf of one group, including indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with acquisitions of or investments in businesses, could affect our credit rating and that of our subsidiaries and, therefore, could increase the borrowing costs of businesses attributable to our other group or the borrowing costs of our company as a whole.

We may not pay dividends equally or at all on Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock. We do not presently intend to pay cash dividends on Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock for the foreseeable future. However, we will have the right to pay dividends on the shares of common stock of each group in equal or unequal amounts, and we may pay dividends on the shares of common stock of one group and not pay dividends on shares of common stock of the other group. In addition, any dividends or distributions on, or repurchases of, shares relating to either group will reduce our assets legally available to be paid as dividends on the shares relating to the other group.

Our tracking stock capital structure could create conflicts of interest, and our board of directors may make decisions that could adversely affect only some holders of our common stock. Our tracking stock capital structure could give rise to occasions when the interests of holders of stock of one group might diverge or appear to diverge from the interests of holders of stock of the other group. In addition, given the nature of their businesses, there may be inherent conflicts of interests between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group. Our tracking stock groups are not separate entities and thus holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will not have the right to elect separate boards of directors. As a result, our company's officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to our company as a whole and all of our stockholders as opposed to only holders of a particular group. Decisions deemed to be in the best interest of our company and all of our stockholders may not be in the best interest of a particular group when considered independently. Examples include:

•: decisions as to the terms of any business relationships that may be created between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group or the terms of any reattributions of assets between the groups;
•: decisions as to the allocation of consideration among the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, or among the series of stocks relating to either of our groups, to be received in connection with a merger involving our company;
•: decisions as to the allocation of corporate opportunities between the groups, especially where the opportunities might meet the strategic business objectives of both groups;

Table of Contents

•: decisions as to operational and financial matters that could be considered detrimental to one group but beneficial to the other;
•: decisions as to the conversion of shares of common stock of one group into shares of common stock of the other;
•: decisions regarding the creation of, and, if created, the subsequent increase or decrease of any inter-group interest that one group may own in the other group;
•: decisions as to the internal or external financing attributable to businesses or assets attributed to either of our groups;
•: decisions as to the dispositions of assets of either of our groups; and
•: decisions as to the payment of dividends on the stock relating to either of our groups.

Our directors' or officers' ownership of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may create or appear to create conflicts of interest. If directors or officers own disproportionate interests (in percentage or value terms) in Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock, that disparity could create or appear to create conflicts of interest when they are faced with decisions that could have different implications for the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock.

Other than pursuant to the management and allocation policies described in this proxy statement/prospectus, we have not adopted any specific procedures for consideration of matters involving a divergence of interests among holders of shares of stock relating to our two groups, or among holders of different series of stock relating to a specific group. Rather than develop additional specific procedures in advance, our board of directors intends to exercise its judgment from time to time, depending on the circumstances, as to how best to:

•: obtain information regarding the divergence (or potential divergence) of interests;
•: determine under what circumstances to seek the assistance of outside advisers;
•: determine whether a committee of our board of directors should be appointed to address a specific matter and the appropriate members of that committee; and
•: assess what is in our best interests and the best interests of all of our stockholders.

Our board of directors believes the advantage of retaining flexibility in determining how to fulfill its responsibilities in any such circumstances as they may arise outweighs any perceived advantages of adopting additional specific procedures in advance. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Management and Allocation Policies."

Our board of directors may change the management and allocation policies following their implementation to the detriment of either group without stockholder approval. Our board of directors intends to adopt certain management and allocation policies described in this proxy statement/prospectus to serve as guidelines in making decisions regarding the relationships between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group with respect to matters such as tax liabilities and benefits, inter-group loans, inter-group interests, attribution of assets, financing alternatives, corporate opportunities and similar items. These policies also set forth the initial focuses and strategies of these groups and the initial attribution of our businesses, assets and liabilities between them. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Management and Allocation Policies." These policies will not be included in the restated charter. Our board of directors may at any time change or make exceptions to these policies. Because these policies relate to matters concerning the day-to-day management of our company as opposed to significant corporate actions, such as a merger involving our company or a sale of substantially all of our assets, no stockholder approval is required with respect to their adoption or

Table of Contents

amendment. A decision to change, or make exceptions to, these policies or adopt additional policies could disadvantage one group while advantaging the other.

Holders of shares of stock relating to a particular group may not have any remedies if any action by our directors or officers has an adverse effect on only that stock, or on a particular series of that stock. Principles of Delaware law and the provisions of our restated charter may protect decisions of our board of directors that have a disparate impact upon holders of shares of stock relating to a particular group, or upon holders of any series of stock relating to a particular group. Under Delaware law, the board of directors has a duty to act with due care and in the best interests of all of our stockholders, regardless of the stock, or series, they hold. Principles of Delaware law established in cases involving differing treatment of multiple classes or series of stock provide that a board of directors owes an equal duty to all stockholders and does not have separate or additional duties to any subset of stockholders. Judicial opinions in Delaware involving tracking stocks have established that decisions by directors or officers involving differing treatment of holders of tracking stocks may be judged under the business judgment rule. In some circumstances, our directors or officers may be required to make a decision that is viewed as adverse to the holders of shares relating to a particular group or to the holders of a particular series of that stock. Under the principles of Delaware law and the business judgment rule referred to above, you may not be able to successfully challenge decisions that you believe have a disparate impact upon the stockholders of one of our groups if a majority of our board of directors is disinterested and independent with respect to the action taken, is adequately informed with respect to the action taken and acts in good faith and in the honest belief that the board is acting in the best interest of Liberty and all of our stockholders.

Stockholders will not vote on how to attribute consideration received in connection with a merger involving our company among holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock. Our restated charter does not contain any provisions governing how consideration received in connection with a merger or consolidation involving our company is to be attributed to the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and holders of Liberty Ventures common stock or to the holders of different series of stock, and none of the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock will have a separate class vote in the event of such a merger or consolidation. Consistent with applicable principles of Delaware law, our board of directors will seek to divide the type and amount of consideration received in a merger or consolidation involving our company among holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock in a fair manner. As the different ways the board of directors may divide the consideration between holders of stock relating to the different groups, and among holders of different series of a particular stock, might have materially different results, the consideration to be received by holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock in any such merger or consolidation may be materially less valuable than the consideration they would have received if they had a separate class vote on such merger or consolidation.

We may dispose of assets of the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group without your approval. Delaware law requires stockholder approval only for a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of our company taken as a whole, and our restated charter does not require a separate class vote in the case of a sale of a significant amount of assets of any of our groups. As long as the assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group proposed to be disposed of represent less than substantially all of our assets, we may approve sales and other dispositions of any amount of the assets of such group without any stockholder approval.

If we dispose of all or substantially all of the assets attributed to any group (which means, for this purpose, assets representing 80% of the fair market value of the total assets of the disposing group, as determined by our board of directors), we would be required, if the disposition is not an exempt

Table of Contents

disposition under the terms of our restated charter, to choose one or more of the following three alternatives:

•: declare and pay a dividend on the disposing group's common stock;
•: redeem shares of the disposing group's common stock in exchange for cash, securities or other property; and/or
•: convert all or a portion of the disposing group's outstanding common stock into common stock of the other group. See "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter—Dividends and Securities Distributions," "—Optional Redemption for Stock of a Subsidiary," and "—Conversion at Option of Issuer."

In this type of a transaction, holders of the disposing group's common stock may receive less value than the value that a third-party buyer might pay for all or substantially all of the assets of the disposing group.

Our board of directors will decide, in its sole discretion, how to proceed and is not required to select the option that would result in the highest value to holders of any group of our common stock.

Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock may receive less consideration upon a sale of the assets attributed to that group than if that group were a separate company. If the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group were a separate, independent company and its shares were acquired by another person, certain costs of that sale, including corporate level taxes, might not be payable in connection with that acquisition. As a result, stockholders of a separate, independent company with the same assets might receive a greater amount of proceeds than the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock would receive upon a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the group to which their shares relate. In addition, we cannot assure you that in the event of such a sale the per share consideration to be paid to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock, as the case may be, will be equal to or more than the per share value of that share of stock prior to or after the announcement of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the applicable group. Further, there is no requirement that the consideration paid be tax-free to the holders of the shares of common stock of that group. Accordingly, if we sell all or substantially all of the assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, our stockholders could suffer a loss in the value of their investment in our company.

In the event of a liquidation of Liberty, holders of Liberty Ventures common stock and Liberty Interactive common stock will not have a priority with respect to the assets attributed to the related tracking stock group remaining for distribution to stockholders. Under the restated charter, upon Liberty's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Liberty Interactive common stock will be entitled to receive, in respect of their shares of such stock, their proportionate interest in all of Liberty's assets, if any, remaining for distribution to holders of common stock in proportion to their respective number of "liquidation units" per share. Relative liquidation units will be based on the volume weighted average prices of the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Liberty Interactive common stock over the 20 trading day period commencing shortly after the initial filing of the restated charter. Hence, the assets to be distributed to a holder of either tracking stock upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Liberty will have nothing to do with the value of the assets attributed to the related tracking stock group or to changes in the relative value of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock over time.

Table of Contents

Our board of directors may in its sole discretion elect to convert the common stock relating to one group into common stock relating to the other group, thereby changing the nature of your investment and possibly diluting your economic interest in our company, which could result in a loss in value to you. Our restated charter will permit our board of directors, in its sole discretion, to convert all of the outstanding shares of common stock relating to either of our groups into shares of common stock of the other group on terms described in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of Article IV, Section A.2. of Annex C. A conversion would preclude the holders of stock in each group involved in such conversion from retaining their investment in a security that is intended to reflect separately the performance of the relevant group. We cannot predict the impact on the market value of our stock of (1) our board of directors' ability to effect any such conversion or (2) the exercise of this conversion right by our company. In addition, our board of directors may effect such a conversion at a time when the market value of our stock could cause the stockholders of one group to be disadvantaged.

Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will vote together and will have limited separate voting rights. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will vote together as a single class, except in certain limited circumstances prescribed by our restated charter and under Delaware law. Each share of Series B common stock of each group will have ten votes per share, and each share of Series A common stock of each group will have one vote per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group will have no voting rights, other than those required under Delaware law. When holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock vote together as a single class, holders having a majority of the votes will be in a position to control the outcome of the vote even if the matter involves a conflict of interest among our stockholders or has a greater impact on one group than the other.

Transactions in our common stock by our insiders could depress the market price of our common stock. Sales of or hedging transactions such as collars relating to our shares by our Chairman of the Board or any of our other directors or executive officers could cause a perception in the marketplace that our stock price has peaked or that adverse events or trends have occurred or may be occurring at our company. This perception can result notwithstanding any personal financial motivation for these insider transactions. As a result, insider transactions could depress the market price for shares of one or more series of our tracking stocks.

Our capital structure, as well as the fact that the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are not independent companies may inhibit or prevent acquisition bids for the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group and may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. If the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group were separate independent companies, any person interested in acquiring the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group without negotiating with management could seek control of that group by obtaining control of its outstanding voting stock, by means of a tender offer, or by means of a proxy contest. Although we intend Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock to reflect the separate economic performance of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively, those groups are not separate entities and a person interested in acquiring only one group without negotiation with our management could obtain control of that group only by obtaining control of a majority in voting power of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of our company. The existence of shares of common stock, and different series of shares, relating to different groups could present complexities and in certain circumstances pose obstacles, financial and otherwise, to an acquiring person that are not present in companies that do not have capital structures similar to ours.

Certain provisions of our restated charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company that a stockholder may consider favorable. These provisions include:

•: authorizing a capital structure with multiple series of common stock, a Series B common stock of each group that entitles the holders to ten votes per share, a Series A common stock of each

Table of Contents

group that entitles the holder to one vote per share, and a Series C common stock of each group that except as otherwise required by applicable law, entitles the holder to no voting rights;

•: classifying our board of directors with staggered three-year terms, which may lengthen the time required to gain control of our board of directors;
•: limiting who may call special meetings of stockholders;
•: prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;
•: establishing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings;
•: requiring stockholder approval by holders of at least 66²/3% of our aggregate voting power or the approval by at least 75% of our board of directors with respect to certain extraordinary matters, such as a merger or consolidation of our company, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an amendment to our restated charter; and
•: the existence of authorized and unissued stock, including "blank check" preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors to persons friendly to our then current management, thereby protecting the continuity of our management, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of our company.

Following the recapitalization and distribution, and without giving effect to the rights offering or any effect that the recapitalization and distribution may have on his outstanding equity awards, our chairman, John C. Malone, will beneficially own shares representing the power to direct approximately 34% of the aggregate voting power in our company, due to his beneficial ownership of approximately 94% of the outstanding shares of each of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock.

The Transaction may result in a dilution of the aggregate voting power held by the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock. Although the per share voting rights of the Liberty Interactive common stock will be the same under our restated charter as they are under our current charter, the aggregate voting power in our company represented by the outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive common stock will decrease as a result of the issuance of Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution and the rights offering. Under our current charter, holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock possess all of the aggregate voting power in our company (as there are no shares of our former Liberty Capital common stock or Liberty Starz common stock issued and outstanding). Immediately following the recapitalization and distribution and after giving effect to the rights offering, if it is fully subscribed, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock will collectively direct approximately [ ]% of the aggregate voting power in our company, and holders of Liberty Ventures common stock will collectively direct approximately [ ]% of the aggregate voting power in our company.

No IRS ruling has been obtained by us with respect to the tax consequences to you or us of the Transaction. While we believe that no income, gain or loss will be recognized by you or us for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Transaction (except with respect to the receipt by you of any cash in lieu of fractional shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock), there are no Code provisions, Treasury Regulations, court decisions, or published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) directly addressing the characterization of stock with characteristics similar to the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock or rights with characteristics similar to the Series A Rights. In addition, the IRS has announced that it will not issue rulings on the characterization of stock similar to the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS and the conclusions expressed in the

Table of Contents

opinion of our tax counsel could be challenged by the IRS. Therefore, the tax treatment of the Transaction is not entirely certain and it is possible that the IRS could successfully assert that the recapitalization, the distribution to you of the Liberty Ventures common stock or the Series A Rights, or a combination thereof, and/or the exercise of the Series A Rights could result in material adverse tax consequences to you and/or us, as described in more detail below under "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—No IRS Ruling Will Be Requested," which description is incorporated by reference into this risk factor.

It is also possible that the IRS could successfully assert that the Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Ventures common stock and/or Series A Rights are Section 306 stock, within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code. If any of our stock (including any stock received upon exercise of the Series A Rights) or rights were determined to be Section 306 stock, you could be required to recognize ordinary income on the subsequent sale or exchange of such stock or rights treated as Section 306 stock, or dividend income on any redemption of such stock or rights treated as Section 306 stock, without regard to your basis in such stock and you generally would not be permitted to recognize any loss on such disposition, as described in more detail below under "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—No IRS Ruling Will Be Requested."

As indicated above, the IRS will not issue private letter rulings on the characterization of tracking stock. Although the past administrative practice of the IRS has generally been to accept a taxpayer representation that the relevant tracking stock is stock of the issuer in connection with a request for a private letter ruling on a corporate reorganization or division, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not change its administrative practice with respect to tracking stock in an adverse manner, which could preclude Liberty from obtaining, or otherwise make it more difficult for Liberty to obtain, a private letter ruling on a future corporate transaction.

Risk Factors Related to our Company, the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group

The risks described below apply to our company and to the businesses and assets attributable to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group.

The historical financial information of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group may not necessarily reflect their results had they been separate companies. One of the reasons for the creation of a tracking stock is to permit equity investors to apply more specific criteria in valuing the shares of a particular group, such as comparisons of earnings multiples with those of other companies in the same business sector. In valuing shares of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, investors should recognize that the historical financial information of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group has been extracted from our consolidated financial statements prior to and for a period of time following the LMC Split-Off and may not necessarily reflect what the Interactive Group's and the Ventures Group's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group been separate, stand-alone entities pursuing independent strategies during the periods presented.

The Company has overlapping directors and management with Liberty Media Corporation (LMC or Liberty Media), which may lead to conflicting interests. As a result of the LMC Split-Off, most of the executive officers of Liberty also serve as executive officers of LMC, and there is significant board overlap between Liberty and LMC. Although LMC does not have any ownership interest in Liberty, and Liberty does not have any ownership interest in LMC, most of Liberty's directors and officers continue to own LMC stock and options to purchase LMC stock as well as Liberty stock and options to purchase Liberty stock. The executive officers and the members of Liberty's board of directors have fiduciary duties to Liberty and its stockholders. Likewise, any such persons who serve in similar capacities at LMC have fiduciary duties to LMC and its stockholders. Therefore, such persons may have conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or

Table of Contents

affecting their respective companies. For example, there may be the potential for a conflict of interest when Liberty or LMC evaluates acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for either of them. Management's cross ownership interests could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when these individuals consider decisions that could have different implications for Liberty and/or LMC. Any potential conflict that qualifies as a "related party transaction" (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) is subject to review by an independent committee of the applicable issuer's board of directors in accordance with its corporate governance guidelines. Any other potential conflicts that arise will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind the applicable fiduciary duties owed by the executive officers and directors of each issuer. From time to time, LMC or its respective affiliates may enter into transactions with Liberty and/or its subsidiaries or other affiliates. Although the terms of any such transactions or agreements will be established based upon arms'-length negotiations between the companies involved, there can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to Liberty or its subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping officers or directors.

We may compete with LMC for business opportunities. Certain of LMC's subsidiaries and business affiliates own or operate programming services that may compete with the programming services offered by our businesses. For example, QVC and LMC's Starz both produce programming that is distributed via cable and satellite networks. We have no rights in respect of programming or distribution opportunities developed by or presented to the subsidiaries or business affiliates of LMC and the pursuit of these opportunities by such subsidiaries or affiliates may adversely affect our interests or those of our stockholders. Because we and LMC have overlapping directors and officers, a business opportunity that is presented to those individuals may result in a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Each of our directors and officers has a fiduciary duty to offer to our company any business opportunity that he or she may be presented in which we have an interest or expectancy. The directors and officers of LMC including those who are also our directors and officers, owe the same fiduciary duty to LMC and its stockholders.

Our programming and e-commerce subsidiaries as well as some of our business affiliates depend on their relationships with third party distribution channels, suppliers and advertisers and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our results of operation and those attributed to either of our groups. An important component of the success of our programming and e-commerce subsidiaries as well as some of our business affiliates is their ability to maintain their existing, as well as build new, relationships with a limited number of local and national cable and satellite providers, suppliers and advertisers, among other parties. There can be no assurance that our programming suppliers will be able to obtain or maintain carriage of their programming services by distributors on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Similarly, there can be no assurance that our subsidiaries and business affiliates will be able to maintain their existing supplier or advertising arrangements on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Adverse changes in existing relationships or the inability to enter into new arrangements with these parties on favorable terms, if at all, could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and those attributed to our groups.

Rapid technological advances could render the products and services offered by our Interactive Group's subsidiaries and our business affiliates attributed to both our Interactive Group and Ventures Group obsolete or non-competitive. Our subsidiaries and business affiliates attributed to each group must stay abreast of rapidly evolving technological developments and offerings to remain competitive and increase the utility of their services. These subsidiaries and business affiliates must be able to incorporate new technologies into their products and services in order to address the needs of their customers. There can be no assurance that they will be able to compete with advancing technology, and any failure to do so could result in customers seeking alternative service providers and may adversely affect the group to which they are attributed, thereby adversely impacting our revenue and operating income.

Table of Contents

The subsidiaries and business affiliates attributed to each group are subject to risks of adverse government regulation. Programming services, cable television systems, the Internet, telephony services and satellite service providers are subject to varying degrees of regulation in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission and other entities and in foreign countries by similar regulators. Such regulation and legislation are subject to the political process and have been in constant flux over the past decade. The application of various sales and use tax provisions under state, local and foreign law to the products and services of our subsidiaries and certain of our business affiliates sold via the Internet, television and telephone is subject to interpretation by the applicable taxing authorities, and no assurance can be given that such authorities will not take a contrary position to that taken by our subsidiaries and certain of our business affiliates, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses. In addition, there have been numerous attempts at the federal, state and local levels to impose additional taxes on online commerce transactions. Moreover, most foreign countries in which our subsidiaries or business affiliates have, or may in the future make, an investment regulates, in varying degrees, the distribution, content and ownership of programming services and foreign investment in programming companies and wireline and wireless cable communications, satellite and telephony services and the Internet. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated, and there can be no assurance that the businesses and assets attributed to each group will not become subject to increased expenses or more stringent restrictions as a result of any future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

The subsidiaries and business affiliates attributed to our Interactive Group conduct their businesses under highly competitive conditions. Although QVC and HSN are two of the nation's largest home shopping networks, they and our e-commerce companies have numerous and varied competitors at the national and local levels, including conventional and specialty department stores, other specialty stores, mass merchants, value retailers, discounters, and Internet and mail-order retailers. Competition is characterized by many factors, including assortment, advertising, price, quality, service, location, reputation and credit availability. If our Interactive Group subsidiaries and business affiliates do not compete effectively with regard to these factors, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The sales and operating results of our Interactive Group subsidiaries and business affiliates depend on their ability to predict or respond to consumer preferences. The sales and operating results of our Interactive Group subsidiaries and business affiliates depend in part on their ability to predict or respond to changes in consumer preferences and fashion trends in a timely manner. QVC and our e-commerce companies continuously develop new retail concepts and adjust their product mix in an effort to satisfy customer demands. Any sustained failure to identify and respond to emerging trends in lifestyle and consumer preferences could have a material adverse affect on the businesses of our Interactive Group subsidiaries and business affiliates. Consumer spending may be affected by many factors outside of their control, including competition from store-based retailers, mail-order and third-party Internet companies, consumer confidence and preferences, and general economic conditions.

Increased programming and content costs may adversely affect profits. One of our subsidiaries, QVC, and one of our business affiliates, HSN, both attributed to our Interactive Group, produce programming and other content and incur costs for all types of creative talent including writers, producers, actors and other on-air talent. An increase in the costs of programming and other content may lead to decreased profitability.

Table of Contents

Continuingly weak economic conditions may reduce consumer demand for our products and services. The current economic downturn in the United States and in other regions of the world in which our subsidiaries and affiliates operate could adversely affect demand for our products and services. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. A reduction in discretionary spending could adversely affect revenue across our tracking stock groups including lagging retail sales by satellite and cable television subscribers. Accordingly, our ability to increase or maintain revenue and earnings could be adversely affected to the extent that relevant economic environments remain weak or decline further. We currently are unable to predict the extent of any of these potential adverse effects.

The success of one of our subsidiaries, QVC, depends in large part on its ability to recruit and retain key personnel. QVC has a business model that requires it to recruit and retain key employees with the skills necessary for a unique business that demands knowledge of the general retail industry, television production, direct to consumer marketing, fulfillment and the Internet. QVC considers Michael A. George, QVC's President and CEO, Claire Watts, QVC's CEO, U.S., and QVC's on-air talent to be key employees. We cannot assure you that if QVC experiences turnover of these key persons, it will be able to recruit and retain acceptable replacements, in part, because the market for such employees is very competitive and limited.

Our subsidiary, QVC, has operations outside of the United States that are subject to numerous operational and financial risks. QVC has operations in countries other than the United States and are subject to the following risks inherent in international operations:

•: fluctuations in currency exchange rates, including instability in the EU due to the possible restructuring of the sovereign debt of certain countries;
•: longer payment cycles for sales in foreign countries that may increase the uncertainty associated with recoverable accounts;
•: recessionary conditions and economic instability, including fiscal policies that are implementing austerity measures in certain countries, which are affecting overseas markets;
•: potentially adverse tax consequences;
•: export and import restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;
•: increases in taxes and governmental royalties and fees;
•: involuntary renegotiation of contracts with foreign governments;
•: foreign and domestic regulations, laws and policies that govern operations of foreign-based companies;
•: difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and
•: political unrest that may result in disruptions of services that are critical to their international businesses.

The success of our subsidiaries and certain of our business affiliates depends on maintaining the integrity of their systems and infrastructure. A fundamental requirement for online commerce and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information, such as credit card numbers or other personal information, over public networks and the safe storage of such information. If the security measures of any of our subsidiaries or business affiliates engaged in online commerce were to be compromised, it could have a detrimental effect on their reputation, adversely affect their ability to attract customers, subject them to increased costs related to credit monitoring or result in fines and/or proceedings from governmental authorities and/or customers. Computer viruses transmitted over the Internet and unauthorized third party "hacking" have significantly increased in recent years, thereby

Table of Contents

increasing the possibility of disabling attacks on, unauthorized access to and damage to the websites and system infrastructure of our subsidiaries and those of our business affiliates whose businesses are dependent on the Internet. In addition, certain of these businesses rely on third-party computer systems and service providers to facilitate and process a portion of their transactions. Any interruptions, outages, attacks or delays in these services, or a deterioration in their performance, could impair the ability of these businesses to process transactions for their customers and the quality of service they can offer to them.

We do not have the right to manage our business affiliates attributed to either our Interactive Group or our Ventures Group, which means we are not able to cause those affiliates to act in a manner that we deem desirable. We do not have the right to manage the businesses or affairs of any of our business affiliates (generally those companies in which we have less than a majority voting stake or with respect to which we have provided a proxy over our voting power to a third party) attributed to our Ventures Group, including Expedia and TripAdvisor, or of our business affiliate HSN, which is attributed to our Interactive Group. Rather, our rights may take the form of representation on the board of directors or a partners' or similar committee that supervises management or possession of veto rights over significant or extraordinary actions. The scope of our veto rights varies from agreement to agreement. Although our board representation and veto rights may enable us to exercise influence over the management or policies of a business affiliate, enable us to prevent the sale of material assets by a business affiliate in which we own less than a majority voting interest or prevent us from paying dividends or making distributions to our stockholders or partners, they will not enable us to cause these actions to be taken as these companies are business affiliates in which we own a partial interest.

The liquidity and value of our public investments may be affected by market conditions beyond our control that could cause us to record losses for declines in their market value. Included among our assets are equity interests in publicly-traded companies that are not consolidated subsidiaries. The value of these interests may be affected by economic and market conditions that are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to liquidate or otherwise monetize these interests without adversely affecting their value may be limited.

A substantial portion of our consolidated debt attributed to each group is held above the operating subsidiary level, and we could be unable in the future to obtain cash in amounts sufficient to service that debt and our other financial obligations. As of December 31, 2011, our wholly-owned subsidiary Liberty LLC had $4,067 million principal amount of publicly-traded debt outstanding. Liberty LLC is a holding company for all of our subsidiaries and investments. Our ability to meet the financial obligations of Liberty LLC and our other financial obligations will depend on our ability to access cash. Our sources of cash include our available cash balances, net cash from operating activities, dividends and interest from our investments, availability under credit facilities at the operating subsidiary level, monetization of our public investment portfolio and proceeds from asset sales. There are no assurances that we will maintain the amounts of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities that we maintained over the past few years. The ability of our operating subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments or advances to us or Liberty LLC depends on their individual operating results and any statutory, regulatory or contractual restrictions to which they may be or may become subject. Some of our subsidiaries are subject to loan agreements that restrict sales of assets and prohibit or limit the payment of dividends or the making of distributions, loans or advances to stockholders and partners. Neither we nor Liberty LLC will generally receive cash, in the form of dividends, loans, advances or otherwise, from our business affiliates. See "—We do not have the right to manage our business affiliates attributed to either our Interactive Group or our Ventures Group, which means we are not able to cause those affiliates to act in a manner that we deem desirable" above.

We have disposed of certain of the reference shares underlying the exchangeable debentures of Liberty LLC attributed to our Ventures Group, which exposes us to liquidity risk. Liberty LLC currently

Table of Contents

has outstanding multiple tranches of exchangeable debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,967 million as of December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the exchangeable debentures, which are attributed to our Ventures Group, the holders may elect to require Liberty LLC to exchange the debentures for the value of a specified number of the underlying reference shares, which Liberty LLC may honor through delivery of reference shares, cash or a combination thereof. Also, Liberty LLC is required to distribute to the holders of its exchangeable debentures any cash, securities (other than publicly traded securities, which would themselves become reference shares) or other payments made by the issuer of the reference shares in respect of those shares. The principal amount of the debentures will be reduced by the amount of any such required distributions other than regular cash dividends. As Liberty LLC has disposed of some of the reference shares underlying certain of these exchangeable debentures, any exercise of the exchange right by, or required distribution of cash, securities or other payments to, holders of such debentures will require that Liberty LLC fund the required payments from its own resources, which will depend on the availability of cash or other sources of liquidity to Liberty LLC at that time. Additionally, in the event all reference shares underlying a series of exchangeable debentures are liquidated or otherwise cease to be outstanding without replacement, there is a possibility that the treatment of tax matters associated with that series could change. This may include acceleration of tax liabilities that are recorded as deferred tax liabilities in our financial statements, in amounts that may be significant.

Risk Factors Relating to the Rights Offering

If we terminate the rights offering, neither we nor the subscription agent will have any obligation to you except to return your subscription payments. Following the distribution, we may terminate the rights offering for any reason prior to the expiration time. However, you may not revoke any exercise of your Series A Rights. If we terminate the rights offering, neither we nor the subscription agent will have any obligation to you with respect to the Series A Rights, except to return your subscription payments, without interest or deduction. In addition, if you purchase Series A Rights on the public market and we later terminate the rights offering, you will lose the purchase price you paid for your Series A Rights.

The subscription price may not reflect the value of our company. Our board of directors determined the subscription price of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock. The subscription price will represent a discount of 20% to the 20 trading day volume weighted average trading price of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock beginning on the first day on which the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock begins trading "regular way" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the distribution. The subscription price does not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value of our assets, historic or future cash flows, financial condition, recent or historic stock prices or any other established criteria for valuation, and you should not consider the subscription prices as any indication of the value of our company.

Stockholders who do not exercise their Series A Rights will experience dilution. If you do not exercise your basic subscription privilege in full and the rights offering is completed, you will experience a decrease in your proportionate interest in the equity ownership of our Liberty Ventures common stock and our company. If you do not exercise or sell your Series A Rights, you will relinquish any value inherent in the Series A Rights. See "—The Transaction may result in a dilution of the aggregate voting power held by the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock" above.

Purpose

At the annual meeting, holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will be asked to consider and vote on the Transaction Proposal, which is described in greater detail under "The Tracking Stock Proposal—General," the Adjournment Proposal, and each of the Annual Business Matter Proposals, which are described in greater detail under "Annual Business Matters Proposals."

Quorum

In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding on the record date must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if you indicate on your proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on any Proposal, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker non-votes) will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See "—Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes" below. If a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, we expect the chairman of the meeting to adjourn the meeting in accordance with the terms of Liberty's bylaws for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies.

Who May Vote

Holders of shares of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and our existing Series B Liberty Interactive common stock, as recorded in Liberty's stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June , 2012, the record date for the annual meeting, may vote together at the annual meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Table of Contents

However, in the case of the Tracking Stock Proposal, your shares will be counted as a vote "AGAINST" the Tracking Stock Proposal.

Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name

You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of common stock or when granting or revoking a proxy.

Security Ownership of Management

The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive officers and by all of our directors and named executive officers as a group of shares of each series of our common stock. The security ownership information is given as of April 30, 2012, and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon (1) 529,654,238 LINTA shares and (2) 28,984,735 LINTB shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. The percentage voting power is presented in the table below on an aggregate basis for all series of common stock.

Shares of restricted stock that have been granted pursuant to our incentive plans are included in the outstanding share numbers, for purposes of the table below and throughout this proxy statement/prospectus. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after April 30, 2012, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person.

(8): In February 1998, in connection with the settlement of certain legal proceedings relative to the Estate of Bob Magness, the late founder and former Chairman of the Board of Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI), TCI entered into a call agreement with Mr. Malone and Mr. Malone's wife. In connection with the acquisition by AT&T Corp. (AT&T) of TCI, TCI assigned to Liberty's predecessor its rights under this call agreement. Liberty has since succeeded to these rights. As a result, Liberty has the right, under certain circumstances, to acquire LINTB shares owned by the Malones. The call agreement also prohibits the Malones from disposing of their LINTB shares, except for certain exempt transfers (such as transfers to related parties or public sales of up to an aggregate of 5% of their shares of LINTB after conversion to shares of LINTA) and except for transfers made in compliance with Liberty's call rights. The call agreement will also apply to the Series B Liberty Ventures common stock received by Mr. Malone and his wife in the recapitalization and distribution.
(9): Mr. Flowers ceased serving as our company's principal financial officer effective November 1, 2011.

Ownership of Subsidiary Securities

In February 2009, LMC Lockerz, LLC (LMC Lockerz), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty, and Kathy Savitt formed Lockerz, LLC (Lockerz), a Delaware limited liability company, which is engaged in the business of creating and operating a destination e-commerce, content and community website aimed primarily at teenagers and "Tweens." In November 2009, Gregory B. Maffei, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, invested $2.86 million in Lockerz for an approximate 24.2% aggregate equity interest. In January 2010, Mr. Maffei made an additional capital contribution of $857,143, and, in March 2010, Mr. Maffei made an additional capital contribution of $571,428. On May 28, 2010, Lockerz was restructured in connection with an investment by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and Lockerz, Inc. was formed as the new parent company. In January 2011, shares in Lockerz were issued to a new investor in connection with an acquisition by Lockerz. As of April 30, 2012, on a fully diluted basis, Mr. Maffei owns approximately 11% of Lockerz and LMC Lockerz owns approximately 29% of Lockerz, with the balance owned by the other shareholders. Mr. Maffei's investments in Lockerz have all been made on the same terms as those provided to LMC Lockerz. Mr. Maffei is also a director of Lockerz.

We know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

Pro Forma Security Ownership of Management

The following table sets forth information with respect to the estimated beneficial ownership by each of our directors and named executive officers and by all of our directors and named executive officers as a group of shares of LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA and LVNTB following the completion of the Transaction. The following table assumes (1) a distribution record date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 30, 2012, (2) the exercise by all Series A Rights holders of their basic subscription privilege in full (and no exercise of their oversubscription privilege) and (3) the completion of the

Table of Contents

rights offering. The percentage voting power is presented on an aggregate basis for all series of our common stock following the completion of the Transaction.

The security ownership information for our common stock following the Transaction has been estimated based upon outstanding stock information for Liberty Interactive common stock as of April 30, 2012, and, in the case of percentage ownership information, has been estimated based upon 529,654,238 shares of LINTA, 28,984,735 shares of LINTB, 35,793,360 shares of LVNTA, and 1,449,236 shares of LVNTB estimated to be issued and outstanding following the completion of the Transaction.

Restricted shares of LVNTA and LVNTB that will be issued in the distribution and restricted shares of LINTA and LINTB outstanding on April 30, 2012 are included in the outstanding share numbers provided in this section. Shares of LINTA and LINTB issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that would have been exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after April 30, 2012 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person. However, because of the difficulty in determining in advance the precise effect of the recapitalization and distribution on outstanding option awards and stock appreciations rights with respect to shares of LINTA and LINTB for our directors and named executive officers (as described in more detail under "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Treatment of Stock Options and Other Awards"), for purposes of the following presentation, we have not given effect to any adjustments to existing option awards and stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of LINTA and LINTB, and we have not included beneficial ownership information with respect to any new option awards or stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of LVNTA and LVNTB that may be received by the directors or named executive officers for whom beneficial ownership information is presented below.

For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of LINTB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of LINTA, is reported as beneficial ownership of LINTB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LINTA, but the voting power of the LINTA and LINTB has been aggregated. Similarly, beneficial ownership of shares of LVNTB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of LVNTA, is reported as beneficial ownership of LVNTB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LVNTA, but the voting power of LVNTA and LVNTB has been aggregated.

THE TRACKING STOCK PROPOSAL

General

At the annual meeting, holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will be asked to approve our restated charter, included as Annex C hereto, which would create a new tracking stock to be designated the Liberty Ventures common stock and to make certain conforming changes to our existing Liberty Interactive common stock. Our board has determined to distribute to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock, immediately after the filing of our restated charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights. To effect this distribution, prior to the recapitalization the board will declare a dividend, subject to the approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal and the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of all other conditions to the recapitalization and distribution, to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date, in which: (i) each holder of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date will receive (a) 0.05 of a share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock held as of the distribution record date and (b) ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution, and (ii) each holder of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date will receive (a) 0.05 of a share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock held as of the distribution record date and (b) ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution. Cash will be issued in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, and fractional Series A Rights will be rounded up to the nearest whole right.

In addition to designating the terms of the Liberty Ventures common stock and making certain conforming changes to the terms of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, the restated charter would provide for the initial attribution of the businesses, assets and liabilities of our company between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, as described under "—The Interactive Group and the Ventures Group" below. Our board of directors may change this initial attribution at any time in accordance with our management and allocation policies as described below. Notwithstanding the attribution of our businesses, assets and liabilities between the two groups, we would retain legal title to all of our assets. Thus, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock would not have any legal rights related to specific assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group. Each of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock would be divided into three series with different voting rights. See Article IV, Section A.1 of Annex C. The restated charter would also change the terms of our Liberty Interactive common stock by removing provisions that appear in our current charter relating to our former Liberty Capital common stock and our former Liberty Starz common stock, which ceased to be applicable following the LMC Split-Off. As a result of the LMC Split-Off, our existing Liberty Interactive common stock became our only series of common stock issued and outstanding. See "—Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter" below. The restated charter simplifies the capitalization of our company as set forth under our current charter by eliminating a third tracking stock from our capital structure.

Conditions to the Recapitalization and the Distribution

The recapitalization and the distribution (which, along with the rights offering (as described under "The Rights Offering" below), we refer to collectively as the Transaction) are subject to the following conditions:

(1): the receipt of the Tracking Stock Approval at the annual meeting;

Table of Contents

(2): the receipt of the opinion of Skadden Arps in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Liberty to the effect that under applicable U.S. federal income tax law, (i) the recapitalization and distribution will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will be treated as stock of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) the Series A Rights will be treated as rights of our company to acquire stock of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iv) no gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Transaction, (v) holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock will not recognize income, gain or loss as a result of the recapitalization and the receipt of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and the Series A Rights in the distribution (except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock), and (vi) the Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Series A Rights will not constitute Section 306 stock within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code;
(3): (i) the effectiveness under the Securities Act of the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, relating to the issuance of the shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and the Series A Rights in the distribution and the issuance of the shares of Liberty Ventures common stock acquirable upon exercise of the Series A Rights in the rights offering, and (ii) the effectiveness of the registration of the Liberty Ventures common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act;
(4): the approval of Nasdaq for the listing of the Liberty Ventures common stock;
(5): the approval of Nasdaq for the listing of the Series A Rights; and
(6): the receipt of any other regulatory or contractual approvals that our board determines to obtain.

Our board reserves the right to waive all of the foregoing conditions, other than those set forth in the first, second, third and fourth paragraphs (which are non-waivable).

Treatment of Stock Options and Other Awards

Options to purchase shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock and restricted shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock have been granted to various directors, officers, employees and consultants of Liberty and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the various stock incentive plans administered by the Liberty board of directors or the compensation committee thereof. Below is a description of the effect of the recapitalization and distribution (but not the rights offering) on these outstanding equity awards. For a description of the effect of the rights offering on these outstanding equity awards, see "The Rights Offering—Treatment of Stock Options and Other Awards."

Option Awards

Each holder of an outstanding option to purchase shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock (an original Interactive option award) who is a director or a direct employee or consultant of Liberty will receive an option award to purchase shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Ventures common stock (a new Ventures option award) and an adjustment to the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to the original Interactive option award (as so adjusted, an adjusted Interactive option award). The exercise prices of and number of shares subject to the new Ventures option award and the related adjusted Interactive option award will be determined based upon the exercise price of and number of shares subject to the original Interactive option award, the distribution ratio of 0.05, the pre-distribution trading price of the Liberty Interactive common stock and relative post-distribution trading prices of the Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures

Table of Contents

common stock, such that the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the original Interactive option award is allocated between the new Ventures option award and the adjusted Interactive option award.

The exercise prices of and number of shares subject to the original Interactive option awards held by direct employees or consultants of any of Liberty's subsidiaries (all of which will be attributed to the Interactive Group following the recapitalization) will be adjusted so as to preserve the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the original Interactive option award based upon the exercise prices of and number of shares subject to the original Interactive option awards, the distribution ratio of 0.05 and the pre- and post-distribution trading prices of the Liberty Interactive common stock. These original Interactive option award holders will not receive new Ventures option awards, as their performance will have little, if any, impact on the financial results of the businesses attributed to the Ventures Group following the recapitalization and their interests as stockholders of our company will be more closely aligned with the financial results of the businesses to be attributed to the Interactive Group.

Except as described above, all other terms of an adjusted Interactive option award and a new Ventures option award (including, for example, the vesting terms thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Interactive option award.

SAR Awards

Each holder of an outstanding stock appreciation right relating to shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock (an original Interactive SAR) who is a director or a direct employee or consultant of Liberty will receive a stock appreciation right relating to shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Ventures common stock (a new Ventures SAR) and an adjustment to the base price of and the number of shares subject to the original Interactive SAR. The base prices of and number of shares relating to the new Ventures SAR and the related adjusted Interactive SAR will be determined based upon the base price of and number of shares relating to the original Interactive SAR, the distribution ratio of 0.05, the pre-distribution trading price of the Liberty Interactive common stock and relative post-distribution trading prices of the Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, such that the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the original Interactive SAR is allocated between the new Ventures SAR and the adjusted Interactive SAR.

The base prices of and number of shares relating to the original Interactive SARs held by direct employees or consultants of any of Liberty's subsidiaries will be adjusted so as to preserve the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the original Interactive SAR based upon the base prices of and number of shares relating to the original Interactive SAR, the distribution ratio of 0.05 and the pre- and post-distribution trading prices of the Liberty Interactive common stock. These original Interactive SAR holders will not receive new Ventures SARs, as their performance will have little, if any, impact on the financial results of the businesses attributed to the Ventures Group following the recapitalization and their interests as stockholders of our company will be more closely aligned with the financial results of the businesses to be attributed to the Interactive Group.

Except as described above, all other terms of an adjusted Interactive SAR and a new Ventures SAR (including, for example, the vesting terms thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Interactive SAR.

Restricted Stock Awards

Each holder of a restricted stock award with respect to shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock (an original Interactive restricted stock award) will receive in the distribution 0.05 of a restricted share of the corresponding series of Liberty Ventures common stock (a new Ventures restricted stock award) for each restricted share of Liberty Interactive common stock held by them as of the distribution record date, with cash issued in lieu of fractional restricted shares. Except as described above, all new Ventures restricted stock awards (including, for example, the vesting terms

Table of Contents

thereof) will, in all material respects, be the same as those of the corresponding original Interactive restricted stock award.

The Interactive Group and the Ventures Group

Our restated charter will authorize and designate two tracking stocks: the Liberty Interactive common stock, intended to reflect the separate economic performance of the Interactive Group, and the Liberty Ventures common stock, intended to reflect the separate economic performance of the Ventures Group.

Last year, we completed the LMC Split-Off, in which we split-off our former Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups, with our company retaining the businesses, assets and liabilities that were attributed to our former Interactive Group at the time of the LMC Split-Off. In seeking to implement the recapitalization and create the new Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, we intend to create a new tracking stock structure for our company that highlights the unique operations and financial aspects of our businesses and assets and provides greater investor choice.

The Interactive Group would initially consist of our subsidiaries QVC, Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcounty.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, CommerceHub and LMC Right Start, Inc. and our approximate 34% interest in HSN, Inc. Also attributed to the Interactive Group would be approximately $500 million in cash. We would also attribute to this group certain deferred tax liabilities and the following debt obligations of our subsidiaries QVC and Liberty LLC:

Obligation	Approximate Outstanding Principal at March 31, 2012

QVC Bank Credit Facilities	$	382,000,000	(1)
QVC 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2017	$	500,000,000
QVC 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2019	$	1,000,000,000
QVC 7.375% Senior Secured Notes 2020	$	500,000,000
Liberty LLC 5.7% Senior Notes due 2013	$	309,000,000
Liberty LLC 8.5% Senior Debentures due 2029	$	287,000,000
Liberty LLC 8.25% Senior Debentures due 2030	$	504,000,000

(1): Immediately following the recapitalization and distribution, we expect that the outstanding principal amount under the QVC Bank Credit Facilities will be between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion. The additional incurrence under the QVC Bank Credit Facilities will be used to fund the attributed cash balances of both the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group.

The percentage of total revenues, net income, total assets and total liabilities of our company, as of March 31, 2012, that we intend to attribute to the Interactive Group are as follows:

Total Revenues		Net Income		Total Assets		Total Liabilities

100%		127%		87%		60%

The Interactive Group would focus primarily on our video and e-commerce operating businesses. Our strategy for this group following the recapitalization would be to continue to grow and enhance our video and e-commerce operating businesses, which will become better aligned with the retail and e-commerce industry as a result of the creation of the Liberty Ventures tracking stock and the attribution of our company's video and e-commerce operating businesses to the Interactive Group, and to use the cash flow of those attributed businesses to make acquisitions complementary to those businesses.

Table of Contents

The Ventures Group would initially consist of our non-consolidated assets, which are comprised of our interests in AOL, Inc., Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc., Tree.com, Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc. and various green energy investments. Also attributed to the Ventures Group would be approximately $1,588 million in cash (which includes proceeds from the sale of TripAdvisor, Inc. shares in May 2012). We would also attribute to this group certain deferred tax liabilities and the following publicly traded debt obligations of Liberty LLC (which we refer to as the Exchangeable Debentures):

Obligation	Approximate Outstanding Principal at March 31, 2012

3.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2023	$	1,138,000,000
4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029	$	469,000,000
3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2030	$	460,000,000
3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031	$	484,000,000
3.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031	$	414,000,000

The percentage of total revenues, net income, total assets and total liabilities of our company, as of March 31, 2012, that we intend to attribute to the Ventures Group are as follows:

Total Revenues		Net Income		Total Assets		Total Liabilities

0%		(27)%		13%		40%

The attributed financial data for the Ventures Group does not present any revenue and minimal net income because all of the assets attributed to the Ventures Group are accounted for by Liberty either as equity method investments or available-for-sale securities.

The Ventures Group would primarily focus on our business investments other than our video and e-commerce operating businesses. Our strategy for the Ventures Group would be to maximize the value of these investments and to make new investments that our management believes have attractive risk and return characteristics.

A more complete description of the businesses and assets to be attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group can be found in Annex A of this proxy statement/prospectus.

In determining the allocation of cash and debt between the Ventures Group and the Interactive Group, our board of directors took into consideration the liquidity needs of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to each group as well as the origin of the respective debt obligations of Liberty. In the case of the Ventures Group, the board considered that the assets to be attributed to that group do not presently generate cash available to Liberty, and hence a sufficient amount of cash needed to be attributed to that group for working capital purposes and to service the debt allocated to that group until their respective maturities (subject to specified assumptions). The board of directors decided to attribute the exchangeable debentures to the Ventures Group as the stock owned by Liberty and underlying those debentures constitutes part of the minority investments which are being attributed to the Ventures Group. The cash not attributed to the Ventures Group will be attributed to the Interactive Group. The debt obligations attributed to the Interactive Group will consist of Liberty's remaining debt obligations, including the debt evidenced by the QVC bank credit facility and the QVC senior secured notes (QVC being attributed to the Interactive Group).

We expect that both groups will include in the future other businesses, assets and liabilities that are complementary or related to the businesses and assets attributed to that group as our board of directors may determine. In addition, we may acquire and attribute to either group other businesses, assets and liabilities which are consistent with the focus of strategy of that group or which have financial or other attributes that fit well within a group. In cases where a business or an asset may fit into both groups, our board will have discretion to determine to which group that business or asset

Table of Contents

should be attributed. We expect that in making such decision, the board will consider not only whether the business or asset is principally related to those in a particular group but also which group has the financing capability and managerial expertise to best capitalize on the opportunities presented by the acquisition (in the case of a newly acquired business). Our board may change the focus or strategy of any group, in its sole discretion, at any time.

Background and Reasons for the Tracking Stock Proposal

Liberty is the product of the LMC Split-Off, which was effected in September 2011, to simplify the complexity engendered by the three layers of tracking stocks that existed at our company at that time. It was further hoped that the LMC Split-Off would provide greater market recognition to the businesses in our company's former Interactive Group at that time, make for a better acquisition currency, provide for more effective stock-based compensation programs, and eventually lead to improved credit ratings for QVC and Liberty. While we believe those goals were furthered by the LMC Split-Off, our board of directors has determined that effecting changes to our capital structure by reintroducing tracking stocks would further inure to the benefit of our stockholders and our company. Our board believes that the proposed tracking stock structure will provide us with even greater operational and financial flexibility in executing our business strategies, by permitting our company to bring greater clarity to our businesses and assets and thereby allowing the stock of each group to move more in line with the fundamentals of the more focused businesses and assets attributed to that group. Implementing this new tracking stock structure will also allow our company to create a stronger acquisition currency for the Interactive Group with respect to the Liberty Interactive common stock, which will be more of a pure-play stock focused on our company's video and e-commerce operating businesses.

At the time of the LMC Split-Off, the minority investments to be attributed to the Ventures Group remained with Liberty in the LMC Split-Off as they were viewed as complementary to the video and e-commerce businesses of the then-Interactive Group. However, our board of directors believes that the value of those assets are not properly represented in the trading price of the Liberty Interactive common stock. This is believed to be due largely to an information gap regarding those assets which our board of directors believes can be redressed through the additional disclosure and anticipated analyst coverage regarding those assets that will result from the reintroduction of a tracking stock structure.

Our board of directors did not consider a spin-off of the assets to be attributed to the Ventures Group. Several of those assets underlie Liberty's various series of exchangeable debentures, and those debentures could not be spun-off as our subsidiary, Liberty LLC, is the issuer of all of our publicly traded debt under a single indenture. Retaining these assets at Liberty also allows for access to the operating cash flows and credit facilities of the businesses to be attributed to the Interactive Group, by means of short- or long-term inter-group loans or the creation of inter-group interests.

Liberty's board of directors did not consider a sale of the assets to be attributed to the Ventures Group due to the disparate nature of the different assets, the preservation of tax efficiencies and the support for the exchangeable debentures provided by the underlying equity securities that we are attributing to the Ventures Group.

Positive Aspects of the Tracking Stock Proposal

In arriving at its determination and recommendation, our board of directors, with the assistance of its advisors, considered, among other things, the following:

•: Increased transparency for investors. The creation of the Liberty Ventures common stock and attribution of our businesses, assets and liabilities between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group will permit the market to review separate information about the more focused groups of businesses and assets, and associated liabilities, attributed to the Interactive Group

Table of Contents

and the Ventures Group. The creation of these tracking stock groups will improve visibility with respect to the investments our company holds and which it attributes between the two different groups, as these investments, specifically those attributed to the Ventures Group, may have been previously overlooked due to, or masked by, the large disparity in size of our company's primary operating business, QVC, as compared to these investments. It will also provide increased focus and additional clarity with respect to QVC and the e-commerce companies, allowing them to be viewed clearly as video and e-commerce operating businesses. Following the recapitalization and distribution, the investment community will be able to better analyze the performance of QVC and the e-commerce companies, as well as more accurately benchmark those businesses against comparable businesses in the retail and e-commerce industries (as opposed to businesses in the media industry, which prior to the recapitalization will have traditionally been the case). We believe this increased transparency will thereby encourage greater market recognition of the value of all of our businesses and assets and enhance stockholder value.

•: Facilitate strategic acquisitions and the creation of an attractive acquisition currency with respect to the Liberty Interactive common stock. The implementation of the tracking stock structure will facilitate strategic acquisitions by our company by creating a stronger acquisition currency for the Interactive Group with respect to the Liberty Interactive common stock, which will be more of a pure-play stock focused on our video and e-commerce operating businesses following the recapitalization and distribution rather than a more diversified collection of businesses and assets. In addition, we believe the Liberty Interactive common stock will be a more attractive currency to sellers of video or e-commerce companies, as the sellers will have a greater opportunity to participate in any gains enjoyed by the acquired company and similar or complementary businesses after the acquisition.
•: Greater access to capital markets. The creation of the Liberty Ventures common stock and the implementation of the tracking stock structure will increase investor awareness of the businesses and assets attributed to each of our groups, which will potentially provide a better alignment of investor bases and permit our investors to pursue distinct investment strategies. This will also permit the company to raise capital for the distinct needs and requirements of the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group by offering equity that tracks the performance of the businesses and assets attributed to such group (for example, the rights offering being conducted in connection with the Transaction).
•: Tailored management and employee incentives. The refinement of our businesses and assets into the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group will enable us to more effectively develop and adopt incentive compensation that more closely addresses the objectives and goals of each group. Such refinement may also facilitate our ability to create tailored incentive compensation plans, thereby allowing our company to reward our management and employees based solely on the performance of the underlying businesses and assets attributed to a particular group.
•: Greater stockholder choice. The creation of the Liberty Ventures common stock will allow our stockholders and future investors greater choice, depending on their particular investment objectives, to own one or two separate securities intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the businesses and assets attributed to the Interactive Group and/or the Ventures Group.
•: Advantages of doing business under common ownership. While the Ventures Group will not have any of our company's operating businesses attributed to it following the distribution, the implementation of the tracking stock structure will allow us to retain the advantages of doing business as a single company and allow the businesses attributed to the Interactive Group to capitalize on relationships with any businesses acquired by our company and attributed to the Ventures Group in the future. As part of a single company, the businesses within each group will be able to take advantage of the strategic, financial and other benefits of shared managerial

Table of Contents

expertise, synergies relating to technology and purchasing arrangements, consolidated tax benefits, lower borrowing costs in some instances and cost savings in corporate overhead and other expenses. Such benefits will also be valuable in assisting our management in monitoring, analyzing and valuing our company's investments in the assets it presently attributes, and will attribute in the future, to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group.

•: Preserves capital structure flexibility. The terms of our restated charter preserve the ability of our board of directors to unwind the tracking stock capitalization while retaining future restructuring flexibility by preserving our ability to undertake future asset segmentation and capital restructurings.
•: Implementation of the Transaction will not be taxable. We expect that the implementation of the Transaction will not be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes to us or to our stockholders (except with respect to the receipt by our stockholders of any cash in lieu of fractional shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock).

Potential Negative Aspects of the Tracking Stock Proposal

Our board of directors also evaluated the potential negative aspects of the Tracking Stock Proposal, including the following:

•: Uncertainty of market valuation. There can be no assurance as to the degree to which the market price of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively, or whether the combined market prices of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will exceed the market price of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock. In addition, we cannot predict the impact of the Tracking Stock Proposal on the market price of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock prior to the annual meeting or whether the implementation of the recapitalization and distribution will increase our aggregate market capitalization.
•: Expansion of the board of directors' responsibilities. The tracking stock structure can be expected to expand our board of directors' responsibilities due to the need for our board to review any matter involving the allocation of a business or corporate opportunity to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, a potential conflict of interest between or among the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, or the movement of assets and creation of inter-group interests between the two groups.
•: Creation of potential diverging or conflicting interests. The tracking stock structure may create additional, potentially diverging or conflicting interests among the holders of our tracking stocks due to the increase in the number of our issued and outstanding tracking stocks (as opposed to those created under our current charter but not presently issued and outstanding), and complex issues may arise in resolving such conflicts that effectively require our board of directors to benefit one group more than the other group.
•: Uncertainty of market reaction to tracking stock decisions. The market values of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock could be affected by the market reaction to decisions by our board of directors and management that investors perceive as affecting differently one series of common stock compared to the others. These decisions could include decisions regarding business transactions among the groups or the allocation of assets, expenses, debt or other financial liabilities between the groups.
•: Potential adverse tax consequences. The tax treatment of the Transaction is subject to some uncertainty, and the board considered the possibility that the IRS could successfully assert that the Transaction is taxable to the holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock and/or to us. The board considered the fact that if the IRS were successful in such a claim, material adverse tax consequences could result to holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock and us.
•: Capital structure complexity. Historically, tracking stocks have traded at a discount to the fair market value of their attributed assets and liabilities as a result of market confusion. The financial and legal disclosures made by companies with tracking stock structures is far more complex than that of companies which have a single class of common stock, and market participants may confuse the asset attributions when attempting to value the tracking stock. Our board of directors took into account the potential for a complexity discount in the market prices of our tracking stocks but determined that, even if such a discount applies, there was incremental benefit to the stockholders in unlocking value through the creation of the Liberty Ventures common stock.
•: Ability of board to change policies and reattribute assets may depress market price. The ability of our board of directors to change our management and allocation policies, reattribute assets between tracking stock groups or convert either tracking stock into stock of the other tracking

Table of Contents

stock group without the prior approval of or, in some cases, prior notice to our stockholders may depress the market price of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock. Tracking stocks may also trade at a discount due to the uncertainty created as a result of the flexibility vested in the board to take any of these actions, as investors have no guarantee that the businesses attributed to the stocks in which they invest will remain the same over time.

Our board of directors determined that the positive aspects of the Tracking Stock Proposal outweighed the negative aspects and concluded that it is in the best interest of our company and our stockholders. In light of the number and variety of factors that our board of directors considered, our board of directors believes it is not practicable to assign relative weights to the factors discussed above, and accordingly, our board of directors did not do so.

Management and Allocation Policies

We have established management and allocation policies for purposes of attributing all of our businesses and operations to either the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, and allocating between those two groups other items (such as debt, corporate overhead, taxes, corporate opportunities and other charges and obligations) in a manner we deem reasonable after taking into account all material factors.

As a general principle, we expect that all material matters in which holders of our Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may have divergent interests will continue to be generally resolved in a manner that is in the best interests of our company and all of our stockholders after giving fair consideration to the interests of the holders of each tracking stock, as well as such other or different factors considered relevant by our board of directors (or any committee of the board authorized for this purpose, including the executive committee of the board).

Policies Subject to Change Without Stockholder Approval

Set forth below are the management and allocation policies we expect to be effective upon the filing of the restated charter, in which the Liberty Ventures common stock, among other securities, are issued. Stockholder approval of these policies is not being sought in connection with the recapitalization.

Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, modify, change, rescind or create exceptions to these policies, or adopt additional policies. Such actions could have different effects on holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock. Our board of directors will make any such decision in accordance with its good faith business judgment that such decision is in the best interests of our company and the best interests of all of our stockholders as a whole.

Any such modifications, changes, rescissions, exceptions or additional policies will be binding and conclusive unless otherwise determined by our board. We will notify our stockholders of any material modification, change or exception made to these policies, any rescission of these policies and the adoption of any material additions to these policies through the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K. However, we will not notify our stockholders of any modification, change or exception made to these policies if we determine that it is not material to our company as a whole.

Attribution

The new Ventures Group will initially have attributed to it our interests in Expedia, Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc., Tree.com, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and other smaller assets, investments in Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc. and AOL, Inc., as well as cash in the amount of approximately $1,588 million (which includes proceeds from the sale of TripAdvisor, Inc. shares in

Table of Contents

May 2012). The Ventures Group will have attributed to it certain liabilities related to our Exchangeable Debentures and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group will be primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities.

The Interactive Group will initially have attributed to it the remainder of our businesses and assets, including our operating subsidiaries QVC, Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, and Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, CommerceHub and LMC Right Start, Inc., as well as our interest in HSN, Inc. and cash in the amount of approximately $500 million. The Interactive Group will have attributed to it liabilities that reside with QVC and the other entities listed as well as our outstanding senior notes and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Interactive Group will be primarily focused on our video and e-commerce operating businesses.

Our board currently contemplates that businesses, assets and liabilities acquired following the recapitalization will be attributed to one of the two groups principally based upon how strongly they complement or relate to the focus or strategy of that group.

Fiduciary and Management Responsibilities

Because the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group will be parts of a single company, our directors and officers will have the same fiduciary duties to stockholders of our company as a whole (and not to an individual tracking stock group). Under Delaware law, a director or officer may be deemed to have satisfied his or her fiduciary duties to our company and its stockholders if that person is independent and disinterested with respect to the action taken, is adequately informed with respect to the action taken and acts in good faith taking into account the interests of all of our stockholders as a whole. Our board of directors and chief executive officer, in establishing and applying policies with regard to intra-company matters such as business transactions between the two groups and allocation of assets, liabilities, debt, corporate overhead, taxes, interest, corporate opportunities and other matters, will consider various factors and information which could benefit or cause relative detriment to the stockholders of the respective groups and will seek to make determinations which are in our company's best interests and the best interests of our stockholders as a whole. If and when there are conflicting interests between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, our directors will use good faith business judgment to resolve such conflicts.

Dividend Policy

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock for the foreseeable future following the recapitalization. Our ability to pay dividends in respect of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock is addressed in Article IV, Section A.2.(c) of our restated charter.

Financing Activities

General. We will manage most of our financial activities on a centralized basis. These activities include the investment of surplus cash, the issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt and the issuance and repurchase of any preferred stock.

If we change the attribution of cash or other property from one group to the other group, we will account for such change as a short term loan unless our board of directors determines that a given change in attribution should be accounted for as a long-term loan, an inter-group interest, as a reduction of an inter-group interest or as a transfer in exchange for cash or other assets. See "—Inter-Group Loans" and "—Inter-Group Interests" below.

Table of Contents

Our board of directors will make these determinations, either in specific instances or by setting applicable policies generally, in the exercise of its informed business judgment. Factors our board of directors may consider in making this determination include:

•: the financing needs and objectives of the receiving group;
•: the investment objectives of the transferring group;
•: the current and projected capital structure of each group;
•: the relative levels of internally generated funds of each group; and
•: the availability, cost and time associated with alternative financing sources, prevailing interest rates and general economic conditions.

Our board of directors will make all changes in the attribution of material assets from one group to the other on a fair value basis, as determined by the board. For accounting purposes, all such assets will be deemed reattributed at their carryover basis. To the extent that this amount is different than the fair value of the inter-group loan or inter-group interest created in the transaction, this difference will be recorded as an adjustment to the group equity. No gain or loss will be recognized in the statement of operations information for the groups due to the related party nature of such transactions.

Inter-Group Loans. If one group makes a loan to the other group, our board of directors will determine the terms of the loan, including the rate at which it will bear interest. Our board of directors will determine the terms of any inter-group loans, either in specific instances or by setting applicable policies generally, in the exercise of its informed business judgment. Factors our board of directors may consider in making this determination include:

•: our company's needs;
•: the use of proceeds and creditworthiness of the receiving group;
•: the capital expenditure plans of and the investment opportunities available to each group; and
•: the availability, cost and time associated with alternative financing sources.

If an inter-group loan is made, we intend to account for the loan based on its stated terms, and the resulting activity, such as interest amounts, will be recorded in the separate group financial results to be included in our consolidated financial statements but will be eliminated in preparing our consolidated financial statement balances.

Inter-Group Interests. An inter-group interest is a quasi-equity interest that one group is deemed to hold in the other group. Inter-group interests are not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, rather they have an attributed value which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to one group with respect to an inter-group interest in the other group.

An inter-group interest in a group will be created when cash or property is reattributed from one group to the other group and the board of directors determines that the reattribution will not be treated as an inter-group loan or as a transfer in exchange for cash or other assets. Inter-group interests may also be created in the discretion of the board of directors for certain other transactions, such as when funds of one group are used to effect an acquisition made on behalf of the other group. Additionally, inter-group interests once created are subject to adjustment for subsequent events. For instance, if the Ventures Group holds an inter-group interest in the Interactive Group at the time of a reattribution of cash or property by the Interactive Group to the Ventures Group, the Corporation's board of directors may choose to reduce the Ventures Group's inter-group interest in the Interactive Group rather than create an inter-group interest in the Ventures Group in favor of the Interactive Group. Certain extraordinary actions that may be taken under our restated charter may also cause an increase or decrease in one group's inter-group interest in the other group. More information regarding inter-group interests is contained in the definitions of "Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures

Table of Contents

Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest" and "Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest" in Article IV, Section A.2.(i) of our restated charter.

If an inter-group interest is created, we intend to account for this interest in a manner similar to the equity method of accounting whereby the group holding the inter-group interest would record its proportionate share of such other group's net income or loss. Appropriate eliminating entries would be made in preparing our consolidated financial statement balances.

Equity Issuance and Repurchases and Dividends. We will reflect all financial effects of issuances and repurchases of shares relating to either group in our own attributed financial information. We will reflect financial effects of dividends or other distributions on, and purchases of, shares relating to either group in our own attributed financial information.

Inter-Group Contracts

The terms of all current and future material transactions, relationships and other matters between the groups, including those as to which the groups may have potentially divergent interests, will be determined in a manner considered by our board of directors to be in our company's best interests and the best interests of our stockholders as a whole.

Review of Corporate Opportunities

In cases where a material corporate opportunity may appropriately be viewed as one that could be pursued by more than one group, our board of directors may, independently or at the request of management, review the allocation of that corporate opportunity to one of, or between, such groups. In accordance with Delaware law, our board of directors will make its determination with regard to the allocation of any such opportunity and the benefit of such opportunity in accordance with their good faith business judgment of our company's best interests and the best interests of our stockholders as a whole. Among the factors that our board of directors may consider in making this allocation is:

•: whether a particular corporate opportunity is principally related or complementary to the business focus or strategy of the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group;
•: whether one group, because of operational expertise, will be better positioned to undertake the corporate opportunity than the other group;
•: existing contractual agreements and restrictions; and
•: the financial resources and capital structure of each group.

Financial Statements; Allocation Matters

We will present consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., consistently applied. We will also provide consolidating financial statement information that will show the attribution of our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to each of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group.

Consolidating financial statement information will also include attributed portions of our debt, interest, corporate overhead and costs of administrative shared services and taxes. We will make these allocations for the purpose of preparing such information; however, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will continue to be subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our company's businesses, assets and liabilities.

In addition to allocating debt and interest as described above, we have adopted certain expense allocation policies, each of which will be reflected in the attributed financial information of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group. In general, corporate overhead will be allocated to each

Table of Contents

group based upon the use of services by that group where practicable. Corporate overhead includes costs of personnel and employee benefits, legal, accounting and auditing, insurance, investor relations and stockholder services and services related to Liberty's board of directors. We will allocate in a similar manner a portion of costs of administrative shared services, such as information technology services. Where determinations based on use alone are not practical, we will use other methods and criteria that we believe are equitable and that provide a reasonable estimate of the cost attributable to each group.

Taxes

General Policies. From and after the distribution record date, taxes and tax benefits, payments that are required to be made by, or are entitled to be received by, us (tax sharing payments) under our tax sharing agreement (the Tax Sharing Agreement) with LMC and Liberty LLC, and certain tax-related losses will be allocated among the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group in accordance with the following tax sharing policies regardless of whether or not the applicable taxes, tax benefits, tax sharing payments or losses relate to—

•: a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the distribution record date (a Pre-Issue Period), or
•: a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the distribution record date (a Post-Issue Period).

References in these tax sharing policies to (i) the "Ventures Group" for any Pre-Issue Period refer to those assets, liabilities and businesses attributed to the Ventures Group on the distribution record date during such Pre-Issue Period, (ii) the "Interactive Group" for any Pre-Issue Period refer to the assets, liabilities and businesses of our company and our subsidiaries during such Pre-Issue Period other than the assets, liabilities and businesses of the Ventures Group during such Pre-Issue Period (or portion thereof), and (iii) a "group" for any Pre-Issue Period refer to the Ventures Group and/or the Interactive Group as described above for such Pre-Issue Period, as the context may require.

These tax sharing policies may differ from the manner in which taxes and tax benefits of each group are reflected in the financial statements. For financial statement purposes, taxes and tax benefits allocable to each group generally have been and will be accounted for in a manner similar to a stand-alone company basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles except as impacted by any special allocations discussed below. Any differences between the tax sharing policies described below and the taxes and tax benefits of each group reported in the financial statements will be reflected in the attributed net assets of the groups for financial statement purposes.

In general, for purposes of these tax sharing policies, any tax item (including any tax item arising from a disposition) attributable to an asset, liability or other interest tracked by the Liberty Interactive common stock recognized during any Post-Issue Period will be allocated to the Interactive Group and any tax item (including any tax item arising from a disposition) attributable to an asset, liability or other interest tracked by the Liberty Ventures common stock recognized during any Post-Issue Period will be allocated to the Ventures Group. Tax items recognized in any Post-Issue Period that are allocable to the Interactive Group that are carried forward or back and used as a tax benefit in another tax year will be allocated to the Interactive Group, and tax items recognized in any Post-Issue Period that are allocable to the Ventures Group that are carried forward or back and used as a tax benefit in another tax year will be allocated to the Ventures Group. Taxes and tax items recognized in any Post-Issue Period from employee or director compensation or employee benefits will be allocated to the group responsible for the underlying obligation (either through the allocation of the related expenses or through the issuance of stock of that group), and, except as contemplated by the special allocation rules below, taxes and tax items recognized in any Pre-Issue Period from employee or director compensation or employee benefits (other than any taxes or tax items that are allocable to LMC under the Tax Sharing Agreement) will be allocated to the Interactive Group.

Table of Contents

Consolidated Income Taxes for Post-Issue Periods. To the extent that federal, state, local or foreign income taxes are determined on a basis that includes the operations, assets, liabilities or other tax items of more than one group for any Post-Issue Period then, except as contemplated by the special allocation rules below, income taxes and income tax benefits (other than any income taxes or income tax benefits that are allocable to LMC under the Tax Sharing Agreement) will be shared among the groups based principally on the taxable income (or loss), tax credits and other tax items directly related to the activities of such group for such Post-Issue Periods. Such allocations will reflect each group's contribution, whether positive or negative, to our consolidated taxable income (or loss), income tax liabilities and tax credit position. Consistent with the general policies described above, income tax benefits that cannot be used by a group generating such benefits, but can be used to reduce the taxable income of the other group, will be credited to the group that generated such benefits, and a corresponding amount will be charged to the group utilizing such benefits. As a result, under this tax sharing policy, the amount of income taxes allocated to a group or the amount credited to a group for income tax benefits may not necessarily be the same as that which would have been payable or received by the group had that group filed separate income tax returns.

Consolidated Income Taxes for Pre-Issue Periods. To the extent that federal, state, local or foreign income taxes are determined on a basis that includes the operations, assets, liabilities or other tax items of more than one group for any Pre-Issue Period, then except as contemplated by the special allocation rules below, income taxes and income tax benefits (other than any income taxes or income tax benefits that are allocable to LMC under the Tax Sharing Agreement) will be allocated to the Interactive Group. However, any income tax benefit arising from tax items allocable to the Ventures Group that are carried back from any Post-Issue Period to any Pre-Issue Period will be for the benefit of the Ventures Group.

Non-Income Taxes and Non-Consolidated Income Taxes. In any taxable period, if any non-income taxes or tax items are determined on a basis that includes the operations, assets, liabilities or other tax items of more than one group, then any such non-income taxes or non-income tax benefits will be allocated to each group based upon their contribution to the consolidated non-income tax liability (or benefit). Non-income tax benefits that cannot be used by a group generating such benefits, but can be used to reduce taxes of the other group, will be credited to the group that generated such benefits, and a corresponding amount will be charged to the group utilizing such benefit.

Any income or non-income taxes or tax benefits that are determined on a basis that includes only the operations, assets, liabilities or other tax items of one group will be allocated to that group.

Special Allocation Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, special allocation rules apply as follows:

•: the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group shall each be allocated a proportionate amount, based upon the relative market capitalization of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock (in each case, determined based upon the volume weighted average price for the Series A Liberty Interactive common stock or the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, as applicable, over the first three trading days following the commencement of regular way trading of the Liberty Ventures common stock after the distribution, multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock, as applicable), of any taxes and losses resulting from (i) the recapitalization and distribution failing to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) the treatment, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of the Liberty Interactive common stock or the Liberty Ventures common stock as other than stock of our company, (iii) the treatment, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of the Series A Rights as other than rights of our company to acquire stock of our company, (iv) the treatment of the Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Ventures common stock or the Series A Rights as Section 306 stock within the meaning of Section 306(c)

Table of Contents

of the Code, (v) the actual or deemed disposition or exchange of any assets or liabilities of our company and our subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes caused by the Transaction, or (vi) any income, gain or loss recognized by holders of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the recapitalization or distribution (except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock); provided however, that any taxes and losses resulting from (x) deferred intercompany items or excess loss accounts that are triggered thereby, and that would otherwise be allocated to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, shall be allocated to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, respectively, (y) any actual or deemed exchange or disposition of Liberty LLC's senior notes for tax purposes shall be allocated to the Interactive Group, and (z) any actual or deemed exchange or disposition of Liberty LLC's Exchangeable Debentures for tax purposes shall be allocated to the Ventures Group;

•: the Interactive Group shall be allocated any taxes and tax items resulting from our split-off of LMC and related restructuring transactions;
•: the Ventures Group shall be allocated any taxes and tax items resulting from Expedia, Inc.'s spin-off of TripAdvisor, Inc.;
•: the Ventures Group shall be allocated any tax deduction attributable to the first payment after the distribution record date of stated interest on each series of Exchangeable Debentures, whether or not such stated interest was accrued in whole or in part during the Pre-Issue Period;
•: the Ventures Group shall be allocated any taxes and tax items resulting from any cancellation of indebtedness income recognized, or income recognized under the U.S. federal income tax regulations applicable to contingent payment debt instruments, with respect to the Exchangeable Debentures in any taxable period (whether beginning before, on or after the distribution record date);
•: the Ventures Group shall be allocated any taxes and tax items resulting from an aggregate of approximately $846.2 million in net taxable income to be recognized ratably in tax years 2014 through 2018 as a result of the cancellation in April 2009 of $400 million in principal amount of the 4% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due 2029 issued by Liberty LLC and $350 million in principal amount of the 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due 2030 issued by Liberty LLC and the cancellation in March 2009 of $10 million in principal amount of the 3.25% Senior Exchangeable Debentures due 2031 issued by Liberty LLC;
•: the Ventures Group shall be allocated any tax benefit that results from approximately $163 million in deferred straddle losses related to our stock in Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc. and AOL, Inc.;
•: for any tax period (whether beginning before, on or after the distribution record date), taxes and tax items of any subsidiary that is acquired after the distribution record date on behalf of the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group generally shall be allocated to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, respectively; and
•: tax sharing payments (and any taxes, tax items, or losses related thereto) pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement shall be allocated to the Ventures Group to the extent such payments are attributable to (x) the operations, assets or liabilities of the Ventures Group for any Post-Issue Period, or (y) taxes or tax items allocable under these tax sharing policies to the Ventures Group for any Post-Issue Period or Pre-Issue Period, and all other tax sharing payments (and any taxes, tax items, or losses related thereto) pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement shall be allocated to the Interactive Group.

Several Liability for Consolidated Taxes. Notwithstanding these tax sharing policies, under U.S. treasury regulations, each member of a consolidated group is severally liable for the U.S. federal income tax liability of each other member of the consolidated group. Accordingly, each member of our affiliated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes (whether or not such member is attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group) could be liable to the U.S. government for any U.S. federal income tax liability incurred, but not discharged, by any other member of our affiliated group.

Each Series B share of Liberty Ventures common stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one Series A share of Liberty Ventures common stock. Series A and Series C shares of Liberty Ventures common stock are not convertible at the option of the holder. See Article IV, Section A.2.(b)(i)(B) of Annex C.
Conversion at Option of Issuer
Liberty could convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C existing Liberty Interactive common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock, as applicable, at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock (or another series of existing Liberty Interactive common stock subject to certain limitations) and the Series A Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock, as applicable (or another series of Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock, as applicable, subject to certain limitations) over certain specified 60-trading day periods. See paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of Article IV, Section A.2. of the current charter. Liberty also could convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock, as applicable, into a number of shares of the corresponding series of existing Liberty Interactive common stock at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the Series A Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock, as applicable (or another series of Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock, as applicable, subject to certain limitations) to the our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock (or another series of existing Liberty Interactive common stock subject to certain limitations) over specified 60-trading day periods. See paragraphs (b)(v) and (b)(vi) of Article IV, Section A.2. of the current charter.	The conversion rights applicable to the Liberty Interactive common stock under our restated charter are substantially similar to those applicable to the Liberty Interactive common stock under our current charter, except (i) that shares of Liberty Interactive common stock can be converted into shares of Liberty Ventures common stock (instead of Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock) and shares of Liberty Ventures common stock (instead of Liberty Capital or Liberty Starz common stock) can also be converted into shares of Liberty Interactive common stock and (ii) the trading period used to determine the conversion ratio under our restated charter is 20 trading days (compared to 60 trading days under our current charter, which period has been shortened for our restated charter because 60 days is viewed as an unnecessarily long period of time during which market volatility could skew the conversion ratio). See paragraphs (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of Article IV, Section A.2. of Annex C.	Liberty can convert each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Ventures common stock into a number of shares of the corresponding series of Liberty Interactive common stock at a ratio based on the relative trading prices of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock (or another series of Liberty Ventures common stock subject to certain limitations) and the Series A Liberty Interactive common stock (or another series of Liberty Interactive common stock, subject to certain limitations) over a specified 20-trading day period.

Optional Redemption for Stock of a Subsidiary
Liberty may redeem outstanding shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock for shares of common stock of a subsidiary that holds assets and liabilities attributed to the existing Interactive Group (and may or may not hold assets and liabilities attributed to the Capital Group and/or the Starz Group), provided that its board of directors seeks and receives the approval to such redemption of holders of existing Liberty Interactive common stock, voting together as a separate class.

See Article IV, Section A.2.(g)(i) of the current charter.	The optional redemption provisions applicable to the Liberty Interactive common stock under our restated charter are substantially similar to those applicable to the Liberty Interactive common stock under our current charter, except that the subsidiary to be spun-off in any redemption of Liberty Interactive common stock may hold assets and liabilities of the Ventures Group (instead of the Capital Group and/or Starz Group), and any such redemption involving stock of a subsidiary that holds assets and liabilities of the Ventures Group would also be subject to the separate class vote of the holders of Liberty Ventures common stock.

If Liberty disposes, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the existing Interactive Group, it is required to choose one of the following four alternatives, unless its board obtains approval of the holders of existing Liberty Interactive common stock to not take such action or the disposition qualifies under a specified exemption (in which case Liberty will not be required to take any of the following actions):

•

pay a dividend to holders of existing Liberty Interactive common stock out of the available net proceeds of such disposition; or

•

if there are legally sufficient assets and the Interactive Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend, then: (i) if the disposition involves all of the properties and assets of the existing Interactive Group, redeem all outstanding shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock in exchange for cash and/or securities or other assets with a fair value equal to the available net proceeds of such disposition, or (ii) if the disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the properties and assets of the existing Interactive Group, redeem a portion of the outstanding shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock in exchange for cash and/or securities or other assets with a fair value equal to the available net proceeds of such disposition; or

Inter-Group Interest
Under our current charter, from time to time, our board of directors may determine to create an inter-group interest in the Capital Group and/or the Starz Group in favor of the existing Interactive Group, or vice versa, subject to the terms of our current charter. If the Capital Group and/or the Starz Group has an inter-group interest in the existing Interactive Group at such time as any extraordinary action is taken with respect to the existing Liberty Interactive common stock (such as the payment of a dividend, a share distribution, the redemption of such stock for securities of a subsidiary or an action required to be taken in connection with a disposition of all or substantially all of the existing Interactive Group's assets), the board of directors will consider what actions are required, or permitted, to be taken under our restated charter with respect to such other group(s)' inter-group interest in the existing Interactive Group. For example, in some instances, the board of directors may determine that a portion of the aggregate consideration that is available for distribution to holders of existing Liberty Interactive common stock must be allocated to the Capital Group and/or the Starz Group to compensate such other group(s) on a pro rata basis for such other group(s)' proportionate interest in the existing Interactive Group.

Under our restated charter, from time to time, the Liberty board may determine to create an inter-group interest in the Ventures Group in favor of the Interactive Group, or vice versa, subject to the terms of the restated charter.

Liquidation
Upon Liberty's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock will be entitled to receive in respect of such stock their proportionate interests in Liberty's assets, if any, remaining for distribution to holders of common stock (regardless of the group to which such assets are then attributed) in proportion to their respective number of liquidation units per share. See Article IV, Section A.2.(h) of the current proxy. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, each share of existing Liberty Interactive common stock is entitled to 0.22778 of a liquidation unit under the current charter.	The liquidation, dissolution and winding up provisions applicable to the Liberty Interactive common stock are substantially similar to those applicable to the existing Liberty Interactive common stock, except that the liquidation units attributable to the holders of Liberty Ventures common stock will also be taken into account in any such distribution, and each share of Liberty Interactive common stock will be entitled to one liquidation unit. See Article IV, Section A.2.(g) of the restated charter.	Upon Liberty's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock will be entitled to receive in respect of such stock their proportionate interests in Liberty's assets, if any, remaining for distribution to holders of common stock (regardless of the group to which such assets are then attributed) in proportion to their respective number of liquidation units per share. See Article IV, Section A.2.(g) of the restated charter. Each share of Liberty Ventures common stock will be entitled to a number of liquidation units equal to the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock over the 20-trading day (with a "trading day" defined as each day on which the share of common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market) period commencing on (and including) the first trading day on which the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock trades in the "regular way" market, by (y) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Series A Liberty Interactive common stock over the 20-trading day period referenced in clause (x).

Other Provisions of the Restated Charter

The restated charter will also contain the following terms. The following terms and provisions of the restated charter are substantially similar to the corresponding terms and provisions of the current charter.

Authorized Share Capital

Liberty is authorized to issue up to 8,607,500,000 shares of capital stock, which will be divided into the following two classes: (i) 8,557,500,000 shares of common stock (which class is divided into the series described above), and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock (which class is issuable in series as described below). The difference between the aggregate number of shares of capital stock under the restated charter and the current charter is that the capital structure of Liberty under the restated charter (i) includes the number of authorized shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and (ii) does not include the number of authorized shares of the company's former Liberty Capital common stock or Liberty Starz common stock.

Table of Contents

Preferred Stock

The restated charter authorizes the board of directors of Liberty to establish one or more series of preferred stock and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the terms and rights of the series, including:

•: the designation of the series;
•: the number of authorized shares of the series, which number Liberty's board may subsequently increase or decrease but not below the number of such shares of such series of preferred stock then outstanding;
•: the dividend rate or amounts, if any, and, in the case of cumulative dividends, the date or dates from which dividends on all shares of the series will be cumulative and the relative preferences or rights of priority or participation with respect to such dividends;
•: the rights of the series in the event of Liberty's voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative preferences or rights of priority of payment;
•: the rights, if any, of holders of the series to convert into or exchange for other classes or series of stock or indebtedness and the terms and conditions of any such conversion or exchange, including provision for adjustments within the discretion of Liberty's board of directors;
•: the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series;
•: the terms and conditions, if any, for Liberty to purchase or redeem the shares of the series; and
•: any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of the series.

Liberty believes that the ability of its board of directors to authorize the issuance of one or more series of preferred stock will provide flexibility in structuring possible future financing and acquisitions and in meeting other corporate needs which might arise. The authorized shares of Liberty's preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by its stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which Liberty securities may be listed or traded.

Although Liberty has no intention at the present time of doing so, it could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. Liberty's board will make any determination to issue such shares based upon its judgment as to the best interests of its stockholders. Liberty's board of directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of its board of directors, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of its stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of the stock.

Board of Directors

The restated charter provides that, subject to any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors, the number of its directors will not be less than three and the exact number will be fixed from time to time by a resolution of its board. The members of the Liberty board, other than those who may be elected by holders of any preferred stock, will be divided into three classes. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of a number of directors equal to one-third of the then authorized number of board members. The term of office of the Class I directors of Liberty will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2014. The term of office of Class II directors of Liberty will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2012. The term of office of Class III directors of Liberty will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2013.

Table of Contents

At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of that class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The directors of each class will hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

The restated charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, directors may be removed from office only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of Liberty's outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

The restated charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, vacancies on its board resulting from death, resignation, removal, disqualification or other cause, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors on its board, will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office (even though less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director. Any director so elected will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred or to which the new directorship is assigned, and until that director's successor will have been elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting its board will shorten the term of any incumbent director, except as may be provided in any certificate of designation with respect to a series of Liberty's preferred stock with respect to any additional director elected by the holders of that series of Liberty's preferred stock.

These provisions would preclude a third party from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of Liberty's board by filling the vacancies created by removal with its own nominees. Under the classified board provisions described above, it would take at least two elections of directors for any individual or group to gain control of Liberty's board. Accordingly, these provisions could discourage a third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of Liberty.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, Liberty's directors are not liable to it or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties while serving as a director. In addition, Liberty indemnifies, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person involved in any suit or action by reason of the fact that such person is a director or officer of Liberty or, at its request, a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or entity, against all liability, loss and expenses incurred by such person. Liberty will pay expenses of a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that such payment is made upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.

No Shareowner Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings

The restated charter provides that (except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of preferred stock), any action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may not be taken without a meeting and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Liberty's preferred stock, special meetings of Liberty's stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only by its Secretary at the written request of the holders of not less than 66²/3% of the total outstanding voting power or at the request of at least 75% of the members of Liberty's board of directors then in office. Liberty's bylaws provide that no business other than that stated in the notice of special meeting will be transacted at any special meeting.

Table of Contents

Amendments

The restated charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of its preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²/3% of the aggregate voting power of Liberty's outstanding capital stock generally entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to its stockholders, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the restated charter or to add or insert any provision in the restated charter, provided that the foregoing enhanced voting requirement will not apply to any adoption, amendment, repeal, addition or insertion (1) as to which Delaware law does not require the consent of Liberty's stockholders or (2) which has been approved by at least 75% of the members of its board then in office. The restated charter further provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²/3% of the aggregate voting power of its outstanding capital stock generally entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to its stockholders, voting together as a single class, is required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of its bylaws, provided that the foregoing enhanced voting requirement will not apply to any adoption, amendment or repeal approved by the affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the members of its board then in office.

Supermajority Voting Provisions

In addition to the voting provisions discussed under "—Description of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock Under Our Restated Charter and Comparison to Existing Liberty Interactive Common Stock Under Our Current Charter" above and the supermajority voting provisions discussed under "—Amendments" above, the restated charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of its preferred stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²/3% of the aggregate voting power of its outstanding capital stock generally entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to its stockholders, voting together as a single class, is required for:

•: its merger or consolidation with or into any other corporation, provided, that the foregoing voting provision will not apply to any such merger or consolidation (1) as to which the laws of the State of Delaware, as then in effect, do not require the consent of its stockholders, or (2) that at least 75% of the members of its board of directors then in office have approved;
•: the sale, lease or exchange of all, or substantially all, of its assets, provided, that the foregoing voting provisions will not apply to any such sale, lease or exchange that at least 75% of the members of its board of directors then in office have approved; or
•: its dissolution, provided, that the foregoing voting provision will not apply to such dissolution if at least 75% of the members of its board of directors then in office have approved such dissolution.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder." An "interested stockholder" for this purpose is a stockholder who is directly or indirectly a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the aggregate voting power of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain business combinations between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to the time that a stockholder became an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation's board of directors, (2) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the aggregate voting power of the corporation in the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, or (3) the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of 66²/3% of the aggregate voting power not owned by the interested stockholder at

or subsequent to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder. Liberty is subject to Section 203.

Accounting Treatment

The recapitalization, if completed, would not cause any accounting related adjustments.

THE RIGHTS OFFERING

General

Our board has determined to distribute to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock immediately following the recapitalization shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and subscription rights to acquire shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock. To effect this distribution, prior to the recapitalization the board will declare a dividend, subject to the approval of the Tracking Stock Proposal and the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of all other conditions to the recapitalization and the distribution, to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date, which will also serve as the rights offering record date, in which: (i) each holder of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date will receive (a) 0.05 of a share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock held as of the distribution record date and (b) ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution, and (ii) each holder of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date will receive (a) 0.05 of a share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock held as of the distribution record date and (b) ¹/3 of a Series A Right for each share of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to be received by such holder in the distribution. Cash will be issued in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, and fractional Series A Rights will be rounded up to the nearest whole right.

Each Series A Right entitles the holder to a basic subscription privilege and an oversubscription privilege. Under the basic subscription privilege, each whole Series A Right entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock at a subscription price equal to a 20% discount to the 20 trading day volume weighted average trading price of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock beginning on the first day on which the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock begins trading "regular way" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the completion of the distribution (the subscription price). Each Series A Right also has an oversubscription privilege, as described below under the heading "—Subscription Privileges—Oversubscription Privilege."

We are not offering shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock in the rights offering. Holders receiving shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution will receive Series A Rights on the same basis as holders receiving Series A Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution.

The following describes the rights offering in general and assumes (unless specifically provided otherwise) that you will be a holder of our Liberty Interactive common stock as of the distribution record date. If you will hold your shares of Liberty Interactive common stock in a brokerage account or through a dealer or other nominee as of the distribution record date, please see the information included below under the heading "—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment—Beneficial Owners." As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the term "business day" means any day on which securities may be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Reasons for the Rights Offering

We are conducting the rights offering in order to raise capital for general corporate purposes. The proceeds will be attributed to the Ventures Group and may be used, among other purposes, for investments in new business opportunities to be attributed to that group. The Liberty board originally considered distributing Series A Rights to holders receiving Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and rights to subscribe for shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to holders receiving Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. After further consideration, however, the Liberty board determined not to issue rights to acquire Series B Liberty Ventures common stock and to instead issue Series A Rights to holders of both series of Liberty Ventures common stock. The board determined

Table of Contents

that because of the small number of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock shares which will be outstanding following the distribution and the fact that over 90% of such shares will be beneficially owned by John C. Malone, the market for the Series B Liberty Ventures common stock may be limited, which may discourage other holders from exercising rights for Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. In addition, it is unlikely that a market for rights to purchase Series B Liberty Ventures common stock would develop, which would have made it difficult for other holders to sell such rights. Therefore, the board determined only to issue Series A Rights.

Determination of Subscription Price

On [ ], 2012, our board of directors determined the formula under which the subscription price will be calculated as described above. In determining this formula, our board of directors considered, among other things, the estimated market price of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock following the distribution, discounts used in similar rights offerings and the general conditions of the securities markets. Each right carries with it a basic subscription privilege and an oversubscription privilege.

No Fractional Series A Rights

We will not issue or pay cash in lieu of fractional Series A Rights. Instead, we will round up any fractional Series A Rights to the nearest whole Series A Right. For example, if you receive 34 shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution, you will receive 12 Series A Rights to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, instead of the 11.3 Series A Rights you would have received without rounding. If you receive 10 shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution, you will receive 4 Series A Rights to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, instead of the 3.3 Series A Rights you would have received without rounding.

You may request that the subscription agent divide your rights certificate into transferable parts if you are the record holder for a number of beneficial owners of common stock. However, the subscription agent will not divide your rights certificate so that (through rounding or otherwise) you would receive a greater number of Series A Rights than those to which you would be entitled if you had not divided your certificates.

Commencement of the Rights Offering

The rights offering will commence upon the determination of the subscription price, which we expect to occur promptly following the 20th "regular way" trading day after the distribution is completed. We will announce by press release the determination of the subscription price, the commencement of the rights offering and the expiration time of the rights offering.

Expiration Time

You may exercise the basic subscription privilege and the oversubscription privilege at any time before the expiration time, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 20th trading day following the commencement of the rights offering (as the same will be publicly announced by us), unless the rights offering is extended. Any Series A Rights not exercised before the expiration time will expire and become null and void. We will not be obligated to honor your exercise of Series A Rights if the subscription agent receives any of the required documents relating to your exercise after the expiration time, regardless of when you transmitted the documents, unless you have timely transmitted the documents pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

We may extend the expiration time for any reason. However, we may not extend the expiration time of the rights offering for more than 25 trading days past the original 20 trading day period. If we do not complete the rights offering by the 45th trading day of the subscription period, we will cause the

Table of Contents

subscription agent to return to each exercising holder the entirety of such holder's aggregate subscription price previously paid (without interest).

If we elect to extend the date the Series A Rights expire, we will issue a press release announcing the extension before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the most recently announced expiration time.

Subscription Privileges

Your Series A Rights entitle you to a basic subscription privilege and an oversubscription privilege.

Basic Subscription Privilege. The basic subscription privilege entitles you to purchase one share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock per whole Series A Right held, upon delivery of the required documents and payment of the applicable subscription price per share, prior to the expiration time. You are not required to exercise your basic subscription privilege, in full or in part, unless you wish to also purchase shares under your oversubscription privilege described below.

Oversubscription Privilege. The Series A Rights include an oversubscription privilege relating to shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock. The oversubscription privilege entitles you to purchase up to that number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock offered in the rights offering which are not purchased by other rightsholders pursuant to their basic subscription privilege, upon delivery of the required documents and payment of the applicable subscription price per share prior to the expiration time. You will be permitted to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock pursuant to your oversubscription privilege only if other holders of Series A Rights do not exercise their basic subscription privilege in full. You may exercise your oversubscription privilege with respect to Series A Liberty Ventures common stock only if you exercise your basic subscription privilege with respect to Series A Liberty Ventures common stock in full. If you wish to exercise your oversubscription privilege, you must specify the number of additional shares you wish to purchase, which may be up to the maximum number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock offered in the rights offering, less the number of shares you may purchase under your basic subscription privilege.

Pro Rata Allocation. If there are not enough shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock to satisfy all subscriptions pursuant to the exercise of the oversubscription privilege, we will allocate the shares that are available for purchase under the oversubscription privilege pro rata (subject to the elimination of fractional shares) among those rightsholders who exercise their oversubscription privilege. Pro rata means in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that you and the other holders of Series A Rights have purchased pursuant to the exercise of the basic subscription privilege. If there is a need to prorate the exercise of Series A Rights pursuant to the oversubscription privilege and the proration results in the allocation to you of a greater number of shares than you subscribed for pursuant to the oversubscription privilege, then we will allocate to you only the number of shares for which you subscribed pursuant to your basic and oversubscription privileges. We will allocate the remaining shares among all other rightsholders exercising their oversubscription privileges.

Full Exercise of Basic Subscription Privilege. You may exercise your oversubscription privilege only if you exercise, in full, your basic subscription privilege for all Series A Rights represented by a single rights certificate. To determine if you have fully exercised your basic subscription privilege, we will consider only the basic subscription privilege held by you in the same capacity under a single rights certificate. For example, if you were granted Series A Rights under a single Series A rights certificate for shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock you own individually and rights under a single Series A rights certificate for shares you own jointly with your spouse, you only need to fully exercise your basic subscription privilege with respect to your individually owned Series A Rights in order to

Table of Contents

exercise your oversubscription privilege with respect to those Series A Rights. You do not have to subscribe for any shares under the basic subscription privilege owned jointly with your spouse to exercise your individual oversubscription privilege. Similarly, if you were granted rights under a single Series A rights certificate based on the shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock you received in the distribution and rights under a single Series A rights certificate based on the shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock you received in the distribution, you only need to exercise your basic subscription privilege with respect to your Series A Rights based on your receipt of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock in order to exercise your oversubscription privilege with respect to those Series A Rights; you do not have to subscribe for any shares under the basic subscription privilege relating to the Series A Rights you received based on your receipt of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock in the distribution in order to exercise your oversubscription privilege relating to the Series A Rights you received in respect of the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock issued in the distribution. If you transfer a portion of your Series A Rights, you may exercise your oversubscription privilege if you exercise all of the remaining rights represented by the rights certificate you receive back from the subscription agent following the transfer.

You must exercise your oversubscription privilege at the same time as you exercise your basic subscription privilege in full.

If you will own your shares of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock through your broker, dealer or other nominee holder following the distribution and you wish for them to exercise your oversubscription privilege on your behalf, the nominee holder will be required to certify to us and the subscription agent:

•: the series and number of shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock held on the rights offering record date on your behalf;
•: the number of Series A Rights you exercised under your basic subscription privilege;
•: that your entire basic subscription privilege held in the same capacity has been exercised in full; and
•: the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock you subscribed for pursuant to the oversubscription privilege.

Your nominee holder must also disclose to us certain other information received from you.

Return of Excess Payment. If you exercise your oversubscription privilege and are allocated less than all of the shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock for which you subscribed, the funds you paid for those shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that are not allocated to you will be returned by mail or similarly prompt means, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the expiration time.

Exercising Your Series A Rights

Subscription materials, including rights certificates, will be made available to holders upon the commencement of the rights offering. You may exercise your Series A Rights by delivering the following to the subscription agent before the expiration time:

•: your properly completed and executed rights certificate evidencing the exercised Series A Rights with any required signature guarantees or other supplemental documentation; and
•: your payment in full of the subscription price for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription privilege and the oversubscription privilege.

Table of Contents

Alternatively, if you deliver a notice of guaranteed delivery together with your subscription price payment prior to the expiration time, you must deliver the rights certificate within three business days after the delivery of such notice of guaranteed delivery using the guaranteed delivery procedures described below under the heading "—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." You must, in any event, provide payment in full of the subscription price for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock being subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription privilege and the oversubscription privilege to the subscription agent before the expiration time.

Payment of Subscription Price. Your cash payment of the subscription price must be made by either check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank or postal, telegraphic or express money order payable to the subscription agent.

Your cash payment of the subscription price will be deemed to have been received by the subscription agent only when:

•: any uncertified check clears; or
•: the subscription agent receives any certified check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank or any postal, telegraphic or express money order.

You should note that funds paid by uncertified personal checks may take five business days or more to clear. If you wish to pay the subscription price in respect of your basic subscription privilege and oversubscription privilege by an uncertified personal check, we urge you to make payment sufficiently in advance of the time the Series A Rights expire to ensure that your payment is received and clears by that time. We urge you to consider using a certified or cashier's check or money order to avoid missing the opportunity to exercise your Series A Rights.

We will retain any interest earned on the cash funds held by the subscription agent prior to the earlier of the consummation or termination of the rights offering.

The subscription agent will hold your payment of the subscription price in a segregated escrow account with other payments received from holders of Series A Rights until we issue to you your shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock or return your overpayment, if any.

Exercising a Portion of Your Series A Rights. If you subscribe for fewer than all of the shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock that you are eligible to purchase pursuant to the basic subscription privilege represented by your rights certificate, you may, under certain circumstances, request from the subscription agent a new rights certificate representing the unused Series A Rights and then attempt to sell your unused Series A Rights. See "—Method of Transferring and Selling Series A Rights" below. Alternatively, you may transfer a portion of your Series A Rights and request from the subscription agent a new rights certificate representing the Series A Rights you did not transfer. If you exercise less than all of your Series A Rights represented by a single rights certificate, you may not exercise the oversubscription privilege.

Calculation of Rights Exercised. If you do not indicate the number of Series A Rights being exercised, or do not forward full payment of the aggregate subscription price for the number of Series A Rights that you indicate are being exercised, then you will be deemed to have exercised the basic subscription privilege with respect to the maximum number of Series A Rights that may be exercised for the aggregate subscription price payment you delivered to the subscription agent. If your aggregate subscription price payment is greater than the amount you owe for your basic subscription and no direction is given as to the excess, you will be deemed to have exercised the oversubscription privilege to purchase the maximum number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock available to you pursuant to your oversubscription privilege that may be purchased with your overpayment. If we do not apply your full subscription price payment to your purchase of shares of

Table of Contents

Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, we will return the excess amount to you by mail or similarly prompt means, without interest or deduction as soon as practicable after the expiration time.

Instructions for Completing the Rights Certificate. You should read and follow the instructions accompanying the rights certificate carefully. If you want to exercise your Series A Rights, you must send your completed rights certificates, any necessary accompanying documents and payment of the subscription price to the subscription agent. You should not send the rights certificates, any other documentation or payment to us. Any rights certificates and other items received by us will be returned to the sender as promptly as possible.

You are responsible for the method of delivery of rights certificates, any necessary accompanying documents and payment of the subscription price to the subscription agent. If you send the rights certificates and other items by mail, we recommend that you send them by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. You should allow a sufficient number of days to ensure delivery to the subscription agent and clearance of any payment by uncertified check prior to the expiration time.

Signature Guarantee May Be Required. Your signature on each rights certificate must be guaranteed by an eligible institution such as a member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, subject to standards and procedures adopted by the subscription agent, unless:

•: your rights certificate is registered in your name; or
•: you are an eligible institution.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. If you wish to exercise your Series A Rights, but you do not have sufficient time to deliver the rights certificates evidencing your rights to the subscription agent before the expiration time, you may exercise your Series A Rights by the following guaranteed delivery procedures:

•: provide your payment in full of the subscription price for each share of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock being subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription privilege and the oversubscription privilege to the subscription agent before the expiration time;
•: deliver a notice of guaranteed delivery to the subscription agent at or before the expiration time; and
•: deliver the properly completed rights certificate evidencing the Series A Rights being exercised, with any required signatures guaranteed, to the subscription agent, within three business days following the date the notice of guaranteed delivery was delivered to the subscription agent.

Your notice of guaranteed delivery must be substantially in the form provided [with the "Instructions For Use of Liberty Interactive Corporation Series A Liberty Ventures Rights Certificates" distributed to you with your rights certificate]. Your notice of guaranteed delivery must come from an

Table of Contents

eligible institution which is a member of, or a participant in, a signature guarantee program acceptable to the subscription agent. In your notice of guaranteed delivery you must state:

•: your name;
•: the number of Series A Rights represented by your rights certificates, the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock you are subscribing for pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, and the number of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, if any, you are subscribing for pursuant to the oversubscription privilege; and
•: your guarantee that you will deliver to the subscription agent any rights certificates evidencing the Series A Rights you are exercising within three business days following the date the subscription agent receives your notice of guaranteed delivery.

You may deliver the notice of guaranteed delivery to the subscription agent in the same manner as the rights certificate at the addresses set forth under "—Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment" above. You may also transmit the notice of guaranteed delivery to the subscription agent by facsimile transmission to [ ]. To confirm facsimile deliveries, you may call [ ].

The information agent will send you additional copies of the form of notice of guaranteed delivery if you need them. Please call the information agent at [ ].

Notice to Nominees. If you are a broker, a dealer, a trustee or a depositary for securities who will hold shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock for the account of others as a nominee holder following the distribution, you should notify the respective beneficial owners of those shares of the issuance of the Series A Rights as soon as possible to find out the beneficial owners' intentions.

You should obtain instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to the Series A Rights, as set forth in the instructions we have provided to you for your distribution to beneficial owners. If the beneficial owner so instructs, you should complete the appropriate rights certificates and submit them to the subscription agent with the proper payment. A nominee holder that holds shares for the account(s) of more than one beneficial owner may exercise the number of Series A Rights to which all such beneficial owners in the aggregate otherwise would have been entitled if they had been direct record holders of Liberty Ventures common stock on the rights offering record date, so long as the nominee submits the appropriate rights certificates and proper payment to the subscription agent.

Beneficial Owners. If you will be a beneficial owner of shares of our Liberty Interactive common stock on the distribution record date, and thus will be a beneficial owner of shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights that you hold through a nominee holder following the distribution, we will ask your broker, dealer or other nominee to notify you of this rights offering. If you wish to sell or exercise your Series A Rights, you will need to have your broker, dealer or other nominee act for you. To indicate your decision with respect to your Series A Rights, you should complete and return to your broker, dealer or other nominee the form entitled "Beneficial Owners Election Form." You should receive this form from your broker, dealer or other nominee with the other subscription materials.

Procedures for DTC Participants. If you will be a broker, a dealer, a trustee or a depositary for securities who holds shares of our Liberty Ventures common stock for the account of others as a nominee holder following the distribution, you may, upon proper showing to the subscription agent, exercise your beneficial owners' basic and oversubscription privileges through DTC. Any Series A Rights exercised through DTC are referred to as DTC Exercised Rights. You may exercise your DTC Exercised Rights through DTC's PSOP Function on the "agents subscription over PTS" procedures and instructing DTC to charge the applicable DTC account for the subscription payment and to deliver such amount to the subscription agent. DTC must receive the subscription instructions and payment for the new shares by the expiration time unless guaranteed delivery procedures are utilized, as described above.

Table of Contents

Determinations Regarding the Exercise of Series A Rights. We will decide all questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility of your exercise of Series A Rights. Our decisions will be final and binding. We, in our sole discretion, may waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected within whatever time we determine. We may reject the exercise of any of your Series A Rights because of any defect or irregularity. Your subscription will not be deemed to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived by us or cured by you within the time we decide, in our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to reject your exercise of Series A Rights if your exercise is not in accordance with the terms of the rights offering or in proper form. Neither we nor the subscription agent will have any duty to notify you of a defect or irregularity in your exercise of the Series A Rights. We will not be liable for failing to give you that notice. We will also not accept your exercise of Series A Rights if our issuance of shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock pursuant to your exercise could be deemed unlawful or materially burdensome. See "—Regulatory Limitation" and "—Compliance with State Regulations Pertaining to the Rights Offering" below.

Revocation of Exercised Series A Rights

Once you have exercised your basic subscription privilege and, should you choose, your oversubscription privilege, you may not revoke your exercise.

Subscription Agent

We have appointed Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as subscription agent for the rights offering. We will pay its fees and expenses related to the rights offering.

Method of Transferring and Selling Series A Rights

We anticipate that the Series A Rights will be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "LVNAR"; however, the Series A Rights will not be tradeable until after the per share subscription price is determined and announced. We will announce by press release the determination of the subscription price. We expect that Series A Rights may be purchased or sold through usual investment channels until the close of business on the last trading day preceding the expiration time. However, there has been no prior public market for the Series A Rights, and we cannot assure you that a trading market for the Series A Rights will develop or, if a market develops, that the market will remain available throughout the subscription period. We also cannot assure you of the prices at which the Series A Rights will trade, if at all. If you do not exercise or sell your Series A Rights you will lose any value inherent in the Series A Rights. See "—General Considerations Regarding the Partial Exercise, Transfer or Sale of Series A Rights" below.

Transfer of Series A Rights. You may transfer Series A Rights in whole by endorsing the rights certificate for transfer. Please follow the instructions for transfer included in the information sent to

Table of Contents

you with your Series A Rights certificate. If you wish to transfer only a portion of the Series A Rights, you should deliver your properly endorsed rights certificate to the subscription agent. With your rights certificate, you should include instructions to register such portion of the Series A Rights evidenced thereby in the name of the transferee (and to issue a new rights certificate to the transferee evidencing such transferred rights). You may only transfer whole Series A Rights and not fractions of a Series A Right. If there is sufficient time before the expiration of the rights offering, the subscription agent will send you a new rights certificate evidencing the balance of the Series A Rights issued to you but not transferred to the transferee. You may also instruct the subscription agent to send the rights certificate to one or more additional transferees. If you wish to sell your remaining Series A Rights, you may request that the subscription agent send you certificates representing your remaining (whole) Series A Rights so that you may sell them through your broker or dealer. You may also request that the subscription agent sell your Series A Rights for you, as described below.

If you wish to transfer all or a portion of your Series A Rights, you should allow a sufficient amount of time prior to the time the Series A Rights expire for the subscription agent to:

•: receive and process your transfer instructions; and
•: issue and transmit a new rights certificate to your transferee or transferees with respect to transferred Series A Rights, and to you with respect to any rights you retained.

If you wish to transfer your Series A Rights to any person other than a bank or broker, the signatures on your rights certificate must be guaranteed by an eligible institution.

Sales of Series A Rights Through the Subscription Agent. If you choose not to sell your Series A Rights through your broker or dealer, you may seek to sell your Series A Rights through the subscription agent. If you wish to have the subscription agent seek to sell your Series A Rights, you must deliver your properly executed rights certificate, with appropriate instructions, to the subscription agent. If you want the subscription agent to seek to sell only a portion of your Series A Rights, you must send the subscription agent instructions setting forth what you would like done with the Series A Rights, along with your rights certificate.

If the subscription agent sells Series A Rights for you, it will send you a check for the net proceeds from the sale of any of your Series A Rights as soon as practicable after the expiration time. If your Series A Rights can be sold, the sale will be deemed to have been made at the weighted average net sale price of all Series A Rights sold by the subscription agent. The aggregate fees charged by the subscription agent for selling Series A Rights will be deducted from the aggregate sale price for all such Series A Rights in determining the weighted average net sale price of all such Series A Rights. We cannot assure you, however, that a market will develop for the Series A Rights or that the subscription agent will be able to sell your Series A Rights.

You must have your order to sell your Series A Rights to the subscription agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day before the expiration time. If less than all sales orders received by the subscription agent are filled, it will prorate the sales proceeds among you and the other holders of Series A Rights based on the number of Series A Rights that each holder has instructed the subscription agent to sell during that period, irrespective of when during the period the instructions are received by it. The subscription agent is required to sell your Series A Rights only if it is able to find buyers. If the subscription agent cannot sell your Series A Rights by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day before the expiration time, the subscription agent will return your rights certificate to you by overnight delivery.

If you sell your Series A Rights through your broker or dealer, you will likely receive a different amount of proceeds than if you sell the same amount of Series A Rights through the subscription agent. If you sell your Series A Rights through your broker or dealer instead of the subscription agent,

Table of Contents

your sales proceeds will be the actual sales price of your Series A Rights rather than the weighted average sales price described above.

General Considerations Regarding the Partial Exercise, Transfer or Sale of Series A Rights. The amount of time needed by your transferee to exercise or sell its Series A Rights depends upon the method by which the transferor delivers the rights certificates, the method of payment made by the transferee and the number of transactions which the holder instructs the subscription agent to effect. You should also allow up to ten business days for your transferee to exercise or sell the Series A Rights transferred to it. Neither we nor the subscription agent will be liable to a transferee or transferor of Series A Rights if rights certificates or any other required documents are not received in time for exercise or sale prior to the expiration time.

You will receive a new rights certificate upon a partial exercise, transfer or sale of Series A Rights only if the subscription agent receives your properly endorsed rights certificate no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day before the expiration time. The subscription agent will not issue a new rights certificate if your rights certificate is received after that time and date. If your instructions and rights certificate are received by the subscription agent after that time and date, you will not receive a new rights certificate and therefore will not be able to sell or exercise your remaining Series A Rights.

You are responsible for all commissions, fees and other expenses (including brokerage commissions and transfer taxes) incurred in connection with the purchase, sale or exercise of your Series A Rights, except that we will pay any fees of the subscription agent associated with the exercise of Series A Rights. Any amounts you owe will be deducted from your account.

If you do not exercise your Series A Rights before the expiration time, your Series A Rights will expire and will no longer be exercisable.

Treatment of Stock Options and Other Awards

Holders of options to purchase shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, regardless of series, will not receive Series A Rights, unless they exercise their options prior to the distribution record date and thus receive shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution. Similarly, holders of stock appreciation rights with respect to shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock, regardless of series, will not receive Series A Rights, unless they exercise and settle their stock appreciation rights (to the extent applicable) for shares of Liberty Interactive common stock prior to the distribution record date and thus receive shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution. The compensation committee of our board of directors may make such equitable adjustments as it determines to be appropriate, if any, to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available pursuant to any such options or stock appreciation rights that remain outstanding and unexercised as of the distribution record date. Restricted shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding on the distribution record date will receive restricted shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution. These Series A Rights will not be subject to any similar vesting restrictions as apply to the restricted shares on which they were distributed due to the short-term nature of the rights offering.

No Recommendations to Rightsholders

Neither we nor our board of directors has made any recommendation as to whether you should exercise or transfer your Series A Rights. You should decide whether to transfer your Series A Rights, subscribe for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, or simply take no action with respect to your Series A Rights, based on your own assessment of your best interests.

Table of Contents

Termination

The consummation of the rights offering is subject to the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of the conditions to the recapitalization and the distribution. However, following the recapitalization and distribution, we may terminate the rights offering for any reason at any time before the expiration time. If we terminate the rights offering, we will promptly issue a press release announcing the termination, and we will promptly thereafter return all subscription payments. We will not pay interest on, or deduct any amounts from, subscription payments if we terminate the rights offering.

Foreign Shareholders

We will not mail rights certificates to shareholders on the rights offering record date or to subsequent transferees whose addresses are outside the United States. Instead, we will have the subscription agent hold the rights certificates for those holders' accounts. To exercise their Series A Rights, foreign holders must notify the subscription agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth business day prior to the expiration time, and must establish to the satisfaction of the subscription agent that such exercise is permitted under applicable law. If a foreign holder does not notify and provide acceptable instructions to the subscription agent by such time (and if no contrary instructions have been received), the Series A Rights will be sold, subject to the subscription agent's ability to find a purchaser. Any such sales will be deemed to be effected at the weighted average sale price of all Series A Rights sold by the subscription agent. See "—Method of Transferring and Selling Series A Rights" above. If the subscription agent sells the Series A Rights, the subscription agent will remit a check for the net proceeds from the sale of any Series A Rights to foreign holders by mail. The proceeds, if any, resulting from the sales of Series A Rights of holders whose addresses are not known by the subscription agent or to whom delivery cannot be made will be held in an interest bearing account. Any amount remaining unclaimed on the second anniversary of the expiration time will be turned over to us.

Regulatory Limitation

We will not be required to issue to you shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock pursuant to the rights offering if, in our opinion, you would be required to obtain prior clearance or approval from any state or federal regulatory authorities to own or control such shares and if, at the expiration time, you have not obtained such clearance or approval.

Issuance of Series A Liberty Ventures Common Stock

Unless we earlier terminate the rights offering, the subscription agent will issue to you the shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock purchased by you in the rights offering as soon as practicable after the expiration time. The subscription agent will effect delivery of the subscribed for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock through the subscription agent's book-entry registration system by mailing to each subscribing holder a statement of holdings detailing the subscribing holder's subscribed for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and the method by which the subscribing holder may access its account and, if desired, trade its shares. The statement of holdings will also detail the method by which shareholders may request to receive shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock in certificated form.

Your payment of the aggregate subscription price will be retained by the subscription agent and will not be delivered to us, unless and until your subscription is accepted and you are issued your subscribed for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock. We will not pay you any interest on funds paid to the subscription agent, regardless of whether the funds are applied to the subscription price or returned to you. You will have no rights as a shareholder of our company with respect to your subscribed for shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock until the shares are

delivered via the book-entry registration statement. Upon such delivery, you will be deemed the owner of the shares you purchased by exercise of your rights. Unless otherwise instructed in the rights certificates, the shares issued to you pursuant to your subscription will be registered in your name or the name of your nominee, if applicable.

We will not issue any fractional Series A Rights or shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock.

Shares of Series A Liberty Ventures Common Stock Outstanding Following the Rights Offering

Based on 529,654,238 shares of our existing Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and 28,984,735 shares of our existing Series B Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2012 (exclusive of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock), and assuming the rights offering is fully subscribed, we would have outstanding approximately 35.8 million shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock immediately following the completion of the rights offering.

Compliance with State Regulations Pertaining to the Rights Offering

We are not making the rights offering in any state or other jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to do so. We will not sell or accept an offer to purchase shares of our Series A Liberty Ventures common stock from you if you are a resident of any state or other jurisdiction in which the sale or offer of the rights would be unlawful. We may delay the commencement of the rights offering in certain states or other jurisdictions in order to comply with the laws of those states or other jurisdictions. However, we may decide, in our sole discretion, not to modify the terms of the rights offering as may be requested by certain states or other jurisdictions. If that happens and you are a resident of the state or jurisdiction that requests the modification, you will not be eligible to participate in the rights offering. We do not expect that there will be any changes in the terms of the rights offering.

Table of Contents

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE RIGHTS OFFERING

We will use any net proceeds we receive from the rights offering for general corporate purposes. The proceeds will be attributed to the Ventures Group and may be used, among other purposes, for investments in new business opportunities to be attributed to that group. We expect our expenses related to the rights offering to be approximately $[ ].

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are making this rights offering directly to holders of our Liberty Interactive common stock, on a pro rata basis, with respect to each share of our Liberty Ventures common stock to also be received in the distribution.

We will pay D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent, an estimated fee of approximately $[ ] and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the subscription agent, an estimated fee of approximately $[ ] for their services in connection with this rights offering (which includes the subscription agent's fees associated with the exercise but not the sale of rights). We have also agreed to reimburse the information agent and the subscription agent their reasonable expenses.

We estimate that our total expenses in connection with the rights offering, including registration, legal, printing and accounting fees, will be $[ ].

We have not employed any brokers, dealers or underwriters in connection with the solicitation or exercise of rights. Except as described in this section, we are not paying any other commissions, fees or discounts in connection with the rights offering. Some of our employees may solicit responses from you as a holder of rights, but we will not pay our employees any commissions or compensation for such services other than their normal employment compensation.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the recapitalization and the receipt of Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution and is the opinion of Skadden Arps, insofar as it relates to matters of U.S. federal income tax law and legal conclusions with respect to those matters. This opinion is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. The opinion of Skadden Arps is conditioned upon the accuracy of the statements, representations, covenants, and assumptions upon which the opinion is based and is subject to the conditions, limitations, and qualifications referenced below and in the opinion. This discussion assumes that the opinion of Skadden Arps described below under the heading "—Tax Implications of the Recapitalization and Distribution" will be delivered to us on the date of the recapitalization and that the statements, representations, covenants, and assumptions upon which such opinion is based will be accurate. Any inaccuracy in any of the statements, representations, or assumptions or breach of any of the covenants upon which either of the opinions of Skadden Arps are based could adversely affect their opinions and alter the conclusions described below.

This discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the Treasury Regulations), administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. In particular, changes in the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations could adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of stock with characteristics similar to the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock or stock rights with characteristics similar to the Series A Rights. Any future legislation, Treasury Regulation, or other guidance could be enacted or promulgated so as to apply retroactively to the recapitalization and distribution or the exercise of the Series A Rights. Any such changes could materially affect the continuing validity of this discussion.

This discussion addresses only those of you who hold your shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock and will, after the recapitalization and distribution, hold your shares of Liberty Interactive common stock, shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, and Series A Rights as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. We have included this discussion for general information only. This discussion is limited to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction and does not address all potential tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances. Further, this discussion does not address holders of existing Liberty Interactive common stock who are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

•: tax-exempt organizations;
•: S corporations and other pass-through entities and owners thereof;
•: entities taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and owners thereof;
•: insurance companies and other financial institutions;
•: mutual funds;
•: dealers in stocks and securities;
•: traders or investors in our common stock who elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for such stock;
•: stockholders who received our common stock from the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;

Table of Contents

•: stockholders who hold our common stock in a tax-qualified retirement plan, individual retirement account or other qualified savings account;
•: stockholders who hold their shares of our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, or a constructive sale or conversion transaction or other risk reduction or integrated investment transaction;
•: certain United States expatriates; and
•: individuals who are not citizens or residents of the United States, foreign corporations and other foreign entities.

This discussion also does not address the effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws that may apply or the application of the U.S. federal estate and gift tax or the alternative minimum tax. In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the recapitalization or distribution to current holders of options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of our stock.

You should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as the applicability of any U.S. federal estate and gift, state, local or foreign tax laws to which you may be subject.

Tax Implications of the Recapitalization and Distribution

It is a nonwaivable condition to the completion of the Transaction that we receive the opinion of Skadden Arps, dated as of the date of the recapitalization, to the effect that, under current U.S. federal income tax law:

•: the recapitalization and distribution will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;
•: the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock will be treated as stock of our company for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•: the Series A Rights will be treated as rights of our company to acquire stock of our company;
•: no gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Transaction;
•: except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, holders of existing Liberty Interactive common stock will not recognize income, gain or loss as a result of the recapitalization and the receipt of shares of Liberty Ventures common stock and the Series A Rights in the distribution; and
•: the Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Ventures common stock, and the Series A Rights will not constitute Section 306 stock within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code.

The opinion of Skadden Arps will be conditioned upon the accuracy of the statements, representations, covenants, and assumptions upon which the opinion is based and will be subject to the conditions, limitations, and qualifications referenced in the opinion and in this discussion under the heading "—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences." Any inaccuracy in any of the statements, representations, or assumptions or breach of any of the covenants upon which the opinion is based could adversely affect the conclusions reached in the opinion. Please see the discussion below under the heading "—No IRS Ruling Will Be Requested" for a further discussion of the opinion.

Table of Contents

Assuming that the opinion of Skadden Arps is delivered to us on the date of the recapitalization, as described above, and that the treatment of the recapitalization and distribution as described therein is respected, then:

•: your aggregate basis in your Liberty Interactive common stock will equal a portion of your aggregate basis in your existing Liberty Interactive common stock based on the relative fair market value of the Liberty Interactive common stock held by you immediately after the distribution as compared to the fair market value of the Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Ventures common stock, and Series A Rights held by you (the Aggregate Consideration) immediately after the recapitalization and distribution;
•: your aggregate basis in your Liberty Ventures common stock, including any fractional shares deemed received, will equal a portion of your aggregate basis in your existing Liberty Interactive common stock based on the relative fair market value of the Liberty Ventures common stock held by you immediately after the distribution as compared to the fair market value of the Aggregate Consideration immediately after the recapitalization and distribution;
•: your aggregate basis in your Series A Rights will equal a portion of your aggregate basis in your existing Liberty Interactive common stock based on the relative fair market value of the Series A Rights held by you immediately after the distribution as compared to the fair market value of the Aggregate Consideration immediately after the recapitalization and distribution;
•: the holding period of the Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Ventures common stock, and Series A Rights held by you immediately after the recapitalization and distribution will include the holding period of your existing Liberty Interactive common stock; and
•: no gain or loss will be recognized by us on the recapitalization or the issuance of the Liberty Ventures common stock and Series A Rights in the distribution.

Liberty Interactive stockholders that have acquired different blocks of their existing Liberty Interactive common stock at different times or at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregate basis among, and their holding period of, shares of Liberty Interactive common stock, shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, and the Series A Rights held immediately after the recapitalization and distribution.

If you receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, you will be treated as having received such fractional shares in the distribution and then as having sold such fractional shares for the cash received. This sale will generally result in the recognition of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, measured by the difference between the amount of cash received for such fractional shares and your tax basis in such fractional shares (determined as described above), which gain or loss will be capital gain or loss.

You must keep a permanent record of facts relating to the recapitalization and distribution and may be required to file with your U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the recapitalization and distribution occur a statement setting forth certain facts relating to such transaction.

Ownership of the Series A Rights

You will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange of, or the failure to exercise, a Series A Right or upon the termination of the rights offering. Your loss from a lapsed Series A Right or from the termination of the rights offering will be deemed to have occurred on the date the Series A Right expires or the date the rights offering was terminated, as applicable. The exercise of a Series A Right will not be a taxable event to you. Upon exercise of a Series A Right, you will take a basis in the Liberty Ventures common stock received equal to the exercise price of the Series A Right

Table of Contents

plus your basis in the Series A Right and your holding period in the Liberty Ventures common stock received should begin on the date you exercise the Series A Right.

No IRS Ruling Will Be Requested

We have not sought any ruling from the IRS, and do not intend to seek any ruling, relating to the Transaction. The IRS has announced that it will not issue advance rulings on the characterization of stock similar to the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock.

Opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS and the conclusions expressed in the opinion of Skadden Arps could be challenged by the IRS. In addition, there are no Code provisions, Treasury Regulations, court decisions, or published rulings of the IRS directly addressing the characterization of stock with characteristics similar to the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock or rights with characteristics similar to the Series A Rights. Therefore, the tax treatment of the Transaction is not entirely certain and it is possible that the IRS could successfully assert that the recapitalization, the distribution of the Liberty Ventures common stock or Series A Rights, or a combination thereof and/or the exercise of the Series A Rights could be taxable to you and/or us.

If the Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Ventures common stock, Series A Rights, or a combination thereof represent property other than stock or rights of our company (Other Property), the deemed receipt of Liberty Interactive common stock, the receipt of Liberty Ventures common stock and/or Series A Rights, or some combination thereof by you might be treated as a fully taxable dividend in an amount equal to the fair market value of such stock and/or rights constituting Other Property (subject, in the case of stockholders that are corporations, to any applicable dividends received deduction) or might be treated as a distribution in complete liquidation of our company, in which case you would recognize gain or loss with respect to your shares of existing Liberty Interactive common stock held immediately prior to the recapitalization. Furthermore, we or our subsidiaries could recognize a significant taxable gain as a result of the Transaction in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such stock and/or rights constituting Other Property over their federal income tax basis to us or our subsidiaries allocable to such Other Property and could also recognize significant taxable income as a result of a deemed exchange of Liberty LLC's publicly traded senior notes and exchangeable debentures. Pursuant to the management and allocation policies described under "The Tracking Stock Proposal—Management and Allocation Policies," the cash for the payment of these taxes generally would, subject to certain exceptions described more fully therein, be drawn proportionately from funds attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group based upon the relative market capitalization of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock (in each case, determined based upon the volume weighted average price for the Series A Liberty Interactive common stock or the Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, as applicable, over the first three trading days following the commencement of "regular way" trading of the Liberty Ventures common stock after the distribution, multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock, as applicable). In addition, we may no longer be able to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return which includes eligible entities attributed to both the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group. These tax liabilities, if they arise, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on us and each group.

In addition to the foregoing, there is a risk that the IRS could successfully assert that the Liberty Interactive common stock, the Liberty Ventures common stock, or the Series A Rights are Section 306 stock, within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code. Stock or a right to acquire stock will be Section 306 stock if, among other requirements, it is stock or a right to acquire stock that is "not common stock" within the meaning of Section 306(c)(1)(B) of the Code. The IRS has ruled that stock is other than common stock, for this purpose, if the stock does not participate in corporate growth to any significant extent. There are no Code provisions, Treasury Regulations, court decisions, or

Table of Contents

published rulings of the IRS directly addressing whether stock with characteristics similar to the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock or rights with characteristics similar to the Series A Rights would constitute Section 306 stock. While it is a condition to the Transaction that Skadden Arps opine that the Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Ventures common stock, and Series A Rights will not constitute Section 306 stock, there is a risk that the IRS or a court would reach a contrary result.

In general, if any of our stock and/or rights constitute Section 306 stock, then, except as provided below, the amount realized by you (without reduction by your basis in such stock and/or rights) on a subsequent taxable disposition of such stock and/or rights:

•: that is a redemption would be dividend income to the extent of our available earnings and profits; or
•: that is other than a redemption would be ordinary income to the extent that your earlier receipt of that stock and/or right in the Transaction would have been treated as a dividend if we had distributed cash in lieu of such stock and/or right in the Transaction.

Any excess of the amount realized from a subsequent taxable disposition over (i) the amount treated as ordinary income or dividend income plus (ii) the cost basis of the stock and/or right will be treated as capital gain. Except as provided below, no loss may be recognized on the disposition of Section 306 stock.

Under current tax law, non-corporate holders that satisfy certain holding period and other requirements will be subject to tax on the above dividend income and ordinary income at the same rates that apply to long-term capital gains. The current tax law provision pursuant to which dividends (and ordinary income realized from a non-redemption disposition of Section 306 stock) are taxed at long-term capital gains rates will not apply for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012. Unless any intervening tax legislation is enacted, ordinary income tax rates will be applicable for such income in tax years beginning after December 31, 2012. A corporation may be eligible for a dividends received deduction for amounts received in a redemption that are treated as dividends under these rules.

No amount realized on the disposition of Section 306 stock will generally be treated as ordinary income or dividend income if the disposition completely terminates your entire actual and constructive ownership interest (as defined in the Code) in our equity. Moreover, the limitation on the recognition of loss, if any, generally will not apply in the case of such a complete termination.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting to the IRS and backup withholding may apply to your receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock. Backup withholding (currently 28%) may apply to "reportable payments" if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number and certain other information, fail to provide a certification of exempt status or fail to report your full dividend and interest income. You are not subject to backup withholding if you (1) are a corporation or fall within certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrate that fact; or (2) provide a correct taxpayer identification number, certify under penalties of perjury that you are not subject to backup withholding, and otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. The information reporting requirements may apply regardless of whether backup withholding is required.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services):

•: audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services associated with our periodic reports, (iii) opinions on our internal controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or reporting of transactions;
•: audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial audits of employee benefit plans, (iii) services associated with registration statements and other documents filed or issued in connection with a securities offering (including comfort letters and consents), (iv) attestation services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of our consolidated financial statements and (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions; and
•: tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and review services, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is expected to result in fees in excess of $100,000, or if individual projects under $100,000 are expected to total $500,000 during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of

104

Table of Contents

the granting of any such approval. M. LaVoy Robison currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.

Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

All services provided by our independent auditor during 2011 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy.

Vote and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our existing Liberty Interactive common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the Auditors Ratification Proposal.

George, President and Chief Executive Officer of our subsidiary, QVC, who also serve as directors of our company and who are listed under "The Annual Business Matters Proposals—Election of Directors Proposal"), their ages and a description of their business experience, including positions held with our company. All positions referenced in the table below with our company include, where applicable, positions with our predecessors.


Charles Y. Tanabe Age: [60]		Executive Vice President of our company since January 2007 and the General Counsel of our company since January 1999. A Senior Vice President of our company from January 1999 to December 2006, and the Secretary of our company from April 2001 to December 2007.

Our executive officers will serve in such capacities until the next annual meeting of our board of directors, or until their respective successors have been duly elected and have been qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office. There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption, other than Evan D. Malone who is the son of John C. Malone.

During the past ten years, none of the above persons has had any involvement in such legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16 forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2011, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which constitutes our "code of ethics" within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of ethics is available on our website at www.libertyinteractive.com.

Director Independence

It is our policy that a majority of the members of our board of directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our board

106

Table of Contents

of directors in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors follows the Corporate Governance Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market on the criteria for director independence.

Our board of directors has determined that each of M. Ian G. Gilchrist, David E. Rapley, M. LaVoy Robison, Larry E. Romrell and Andrea L. Wong qualifies as an independent director of our company.

Board Composition

As described above under "The Annual Business Matters Proposals—Election of Directors Proposal", our board is comprised of directors with a broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, science and technology, venture capital, investment banking, auditing and financial engineering. Our board is also chronologically diverse with our members' ages spanning four decades. For more information on our policies with respect to board candidates, see "—Committees of the Board of Directors—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee" below.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer). John C. Malone, one of our largest stockholders, holds the position of Chairman, leads our board and board meetings and provides strategic guidance to our Chief Executive Officer. Gregory B. Maffei, our President, holds the position of Chief Executive Officer, leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our company. We believe this division of responsibility effectively assists our board in fulfilling its duties.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks and risks relating to potential conflicts of interest. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements, and our nominating and corporate governance committee manages risks associated with the independence of the board. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full board. The oversight responsibility of the board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the board about the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, and other risks. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from our Chief Executive Officer, which are prepared with input from our senior management team, and includes input from our Internal Audit group.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Executive Committee

Our board of directors has established an executive committee, whose members are John C. Malone and Gregory B. Maffei. Except as specifically prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the executive committee may exercise all the powers and authority of our board of directors in the management of our business and affairs, including the power and authority to authorize the issuance of shares of our capital stock.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our board of directors has established a nominating and corporate governance committee, whose chairman is David E. Rapley and whose other members are M. Ian G. Gilchrist, Larry E. Romrell and Andrea L. Wong. See "—Director Independence" above.

The nominating and corporate governance committee identifies individuals qualified to become board members consistent with criteria established or approved by our board of directors from time to time, identifies director nominees for upcoming annual meetings, develops corporate governance guidelines applicable to our company and oversees the evaluation of our board and management.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder provided that such nominations are properly submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary, Liberty Interactive Corporation, 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under "Additional Information—Stockholder Proposals" below, and contain the following information:

•: the name and address of the proposing stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, and documentation indicating the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially and of record by such person and the holder or holders of

108

Table of Contents

record of those shares, together with a statement that the proposing stockholder is recommending a candidate for nomination as a director;

•: the candidate's name, age, business and residence addresses, principal occupation or employment, business experience, educational background and any other information relevant in light of the factors considered by the nominating and corporate governance committee in making a determination of a candidate's qualifications, as described below;
•: a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding between the proposing stockholder and/or beneficial owner and any other person(s) (including their names) under which the proposing stockholder is making the nomination;
•: a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding that might affect the independence of the candidate as a member of our board of directors;
•: any other information that would be required under SEC rules in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate as a director;
•: a representation as to whether the proposing stockholder intends (or is part of a group that intends) to deliver any proxy materials or otherwise solicit proxies in support of the director nominee;
•: a representation that the proposing stockholder is a holder of record of our common stock entitled to vote at the annual stockholders meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual stockholders meeting at which the person named in such notice is to stand for election;
•: a signed consent of the candidate to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director, if nominated and elected;
•: a representation as to whether the proposing stockholder has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any other person regarding the nomination (a Stockholder Associated Person) (including the details of such assistance, funding or consideration); and
•: a representation as to whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transactions has been entered into with respect to our company within the last six months by, or is in effect with respect to, the proposing stockholder, any person to be nominated by the proposing stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which transaction is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, the proposing stockholder, its nominee, or any such Stockholder Associated Person.

In connection with its evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may request additional information from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee has sole discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. However, the nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the long-term interests of our stockholders. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

•: independence from management;
•: his or her unique background, including education, professional experience and relevant skill sets;
•: judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;

109

Table of Contents

•: existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;
•: personal conflicts of interest, if any; and
•: the size and composition of the existing board of directors, including whether the potential director nominee would positively impact the composition of the board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the board of directors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, our board and the nominating and corporate governance committee believe that it is essential that our board members represent diverse viewpoints.

When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to our board of directors, it may recommend to the full board that candidate's nomination and election.

Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the director's past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the board of directors and its committees and the director's formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted by the board and the board committees of which such individual is a member.

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Messrs. George, Maffei and Robison, who are nominated for election at the annual meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our company and such nomination was approved by the entire board of directors.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has also adopted corporate governance guidelines, which were developed by the nominating and corporate governance committee. The charter and the corporate governance guidelines are available on our website at www.libertyinteractive.com.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, whose chairman is M. LaVoy Robison and whose other members are M. Ian G. Gilchrist, David E. Rapley and Larry E. Romrell. See "—Director Independence" above.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Robison is an "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The audit committee reviews and monitors the corporate financial reporting and the internal and external audits of our company. The committee's functions include, among other things:

•: appointing or replacing our independent auditors;
•: reviewing and approving in advance the scope and the fees of our annual audit and reviewing the results of our audits with our independent auditors;
•: reviewing and approving in advance the scope and the fees of non-audit services of our independent auditors;

•: confirming compliance with applicable SEC and stock exchange rules; and
•: preparing a report for our annual proxy statement.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on our website at www.libertyinteractive.com.

Audit Committee Report

Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our board of directors, based on the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC's independence requirements for members of audit committees. M. LaVoy Robison is the company's "audit committee financial expert" under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our board of directors. Management has primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent auditor also expresses its opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated financial statements, as well as management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and KPMG's opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit committee has also discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications With Audit Committees, plus the additional matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, The Auditor's Communication with Those Charged with Governance, as modified or supplemented, including that firm's judgment about the quality of our accounting principles, as applied in its financial reporting.

KPMG has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG's communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG that firm's independence from the company and its subsidiaries.

Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed on February 23, 2012 with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section sets forth information relating to, and an analysis and discussion of, compensation paid by our company to:

•: Gregory B. Maffei, our Chief Executive Officer and President;
•: David J.A. Flowers, our principal financial officer through October 2011;
•: Christopher W. Shean, our principal financial officer beginning November 2011; and
•: Michael A. George, Charles Y. Tanabe and Albert E. Rosenthaler, our other three executive officers.

We collectively refer to these persons as our named executive officers.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Overview; Philosophy

The compensation committee of our board of directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and regularly monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy. That philosophy seeks to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating and rewarding our executives in an effort to increase stockholder value. To that end, the compensation packages provided to the named executive officers include both cash and stock-based incentive compensation, with an emphasis placed on performance-based compensation.

The compensation committee seeks to approve a compensation package for each named executive officer that is commensurate with the responsibilities and proven performance of that executive, and that is competitive relative to the compensation packages paid to similarly situated executives in other companies, including, as to the named executive officers other than Mr. George, companies in our reference group (as listed below). The compensation committee does not engage in any benchmarking analysis; rather, it is familiar with the range of total compensation paid by other companies and uses this range as a guide to ensure that the named executive officers receive attractive compensation packages. The compensation committee believes that our compensation packages should assist our company in attracting key executives critical to our long-term success. Taking into account the general industry knowledge of the members of the compensation committee, including its knowledge of the executive compensation paid by the reference group companies, and the input of our Chief Executive Officer (with respect to the compensation packages paid to our other named executive officers), the compensation committee determined to provide each named executive officer (other than Mr. George) with a 2011 compensation package comprised primarily of a base salary and a performance-based bonus. No equity awards were made to these named executive officers in 2011 as they all received grants of multi-year equity incentive awards in one of the preceding two years.

Mr. George is party to an employment agreement with QVC, which governs his compensation arrangements. This employment agreement is premised on the same compensation philosophy described above. Mr. George receives a base salary and a performance-based bonus that is based upon the bonus programs in place at QVC. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for reviewing and approving the executive compensation programs of our operating subsidiaries, including QVC. In addition, the compensation committee reviews and makes recommendations regarding the compensation package of the CEOs of our operating subsidiaries, including the compensation paid to Mr. George. The compensation committee generally applies the same standards as outlined herein when reviewing and making recommendations concerning executive compensation for our operating subsidiaries, including that of Mr. George. In 2011, Mr. George received a grant of multi-year equity

113

Table of Contents

incentive awards similar to those made to the other named executive officers in prior years. See "—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation."

In the case of all our named executive officers, the compensation committee believes that performance-based bonuses and equity incentive awards should represent a substantial portion of each named executive officer's compensation package. At our 2011 annual stockholders meeting, our stockholders' representing 96.6% of our aggregate voting power present and entitled to vote on our say-on-pay proposal approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation, as disclosed in our proxy statement for our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. The compensation committee did not implement any material changes to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote.

Services Agreement

In connection with the split-off of Liberty Media from our company (the LMC Split-Off), we entered into a services agreement with Liberty Media pursuant to which we compensate Liberty Media for the portion of the salary and other cash compensation Liberty Media pays to our employees, including the named executive officers (except Mr. George), that is allocable to our company for time spent by each such employee on matters related to our company. The allocable percentages of time spent performing services for Liberty Media, on the one hand, and our company, on the other hand, are evaluated semi-annually for reasonableness. The compensation information included in the "Summary Compensation Table" below (other than with respect to Mr. George, whose cash compensation is paid directly by QVC) includes the portion of the compensation paid by Liberty Media to the named executive officers that is allocable to our company and for which we have reimbursed Liberty Media and does not include the portion of any compensation allocable to Liberty Media under the services agreement. For the period between September 24, 2011 (the day after the LMC Split-Off) through December 31, 2011, the percentage of each such named executive officer's time that was allocated to our company was: 30% as to Messrs. Maffei and Tanabe; 40% as to Messrs. Rosenthaler and Shean; and 10% as to Mr. Flowers. Notwithstanding the services agreement, each of Liberty Media and Liberty directly paid its allocable portion of each such named executive officers' performance-based bonus to its respective named executive officers. See "—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—2011 Performance-based Bonuses" below.

Composition of our Named Executive Officers

In connection with the LMC Split-Off, our board determined to include Michael A. George, President and Chief Executive Officer of QVC, as an executive officer of our company. As a result, Mr. George became a named executive officer of our company for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Also, in the last quarter of 2011, David J.A. Flowers ceased to serve as our principal financial officer and treasurer, even though he remains with our company as a Senior Vice President. At that time, Christopher W. Shean, a Senior Vice President of our company and our then-controller, became our principal financial officer, and another officer of our company became our treasurer. As a result of these changes, Messrs. Flowers and Shean are both treated as named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In connection with the foregoing changes, our Chairman John C. Malone is no longer a named executive officer of our company; however, information relating to his compensation is included elsewhere herein. See "—Director Compensation—John C. Malone" and "—Director Compensation—Director Compensation Table."

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

Recommendations with respect to our executive compensation are obtained from our Chief Executive Officer as to all elements of each other named executive officer's compensation package,

114

Table of Contents

and, in the case of Mr. George, our Chief Executive Officer reviews and approves Mr. George's compensation package before it is submitted to the compensation committee for consideration. In taking these actions, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance and contributions of each other named executive officers, given their respective areas of responsibility, and, in doing so, considers various qualitative factors such as:

•: the named executive officer's experience and overall effectiveness;
•: the responsibilities of the named executive officer, including any changes to those responsibilities over the year;
•: the named executive officer's demonstrated leadership and management ability;
•: the named executive officer's compensation relative to other executives at our company with similar, greater or lesser responsibilities;
•: the named executive officer's compensation relative to compensation paid to similarly situated executives at companies within our reference group;
•: the named executive officer's years of service with us; and
•: the performance of any group for which the named executive officer is primarily responsible.

Setting Executive Compensation

In making its compensation decision for each named executive officer, the compensation committee considers the following:

•: each element of the named executive officer's historical compensation, including salary, bonus, equity compensation, perquisites and other personal benefits;
•: the financial performance of our company compared to internal forecasts and budgets;
•: the scope of the named executive officer's responsibilities;
•: the performance of the group reporting to the named executive officer; and
•: the performance evaluations and compensation recommendations given by our Chief Executive Officer as to each other named executive officer.

As mentioned above, the compensation committee also considers the range of total compensation paid by members of our reference group of companies and uses this range as a guide to ensuring that our named executive officers (other than Mr. George whose compensation is not guided by this reference group of companies) receive attractive compensation packages. This group of companies consists of publicly-traded media, telecommunications and entertainment companies and includes companies with which we may compete for executive talent and stockholder investment. This reference group also includes companies in those industries that are similar to our company in size and complexity of operations. Companies included in our reference group are:


Cablevision Systems Corporation		News Corporation
CBS Corporation		priceline.com Incorporated
Comcast Corporation		Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc.
Discovery Communications, Inc.		Sirius XM Radio Inc.
DIRECTV (f/k/a The DIRECTV Group, Inc.)		Time Warner Inc.
Dreamworks Animation SKG, Inc.		Time Warner Cable Inc.
Expedia, Inc.		Viacom Inc.
IAC/InterActiveCorp		The Walt Disney Company
Liberty Global, Inc.

Table of Contents

Given our company's focus on video and online commerce following the completion of the LMC Split-Off, the compensation committee may develop a new reference group of companies for future periods, which group may include some of the foregoing companies.

Although the compensation committee considers the compensation packages awarded by these companies, the compensation committee makes adjustments to these packages based on qualitative factors, such as:

•: the size, scope and complexity of the businesses of the companies in our reference group;
•: the cost of living and other factors related to the geographic location of these companies; and
•: the compensation philosophy of the particular company, including any policies relating to compensation of founders or others with substantial personal wealth.

In addition, the compensation committee recognizes that comparisons based on the roles performed by the named executive officers of companies in our reference group and roles performed by our named executive officers (other than Mr. George) may be difficult to draw. That difficulty is attributable, at least in part, to the fact that none of the named executive officers has the title of chief operating officer or, until the fourth quarter of 2011, chief financial officer, two positions commonly held by named executive officers of other companies. That difficulty is further pronounced when considering those companies in our reference group whose management has direct responsibility for operating businesses, because their named executive officers have responsibilities different from those of the named executive officers (other than Mr. George who has direct responsibility for QVC). As a result, the compensation committee does not seek to compare each element of our named executive officers' compensation packages to those provided by our reference group. Rather, the reference group data is merely used as a guide for industry practice on the basis of total compensation paid. At times, total compensation, or any specific element thereof, payable to our named executive officers may exceed that of our reference group or may be less than that of our reference group. For example, the multi-year equity incentive awards discussed below are not comparable to the incentive awards generally paid by the members of our reference group. See "—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation" below for a discussion of these awards.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Maffei, had primary responsibility for negotiating and approving Mr. George's employment agreement and continues to have primary responsibility for approving all elements of Mr. George's compensation because Mr. George is the chief executive officer of one of our operating subsidiaries, QVC. Mr. Maffei draws upon his industry knowledge of compensation paid to similarly situated executives at other video and online commerce companies and other consumer goods retailers in designing the performance-based bonus program for QVC executives, in which Mr. George participates, as well as the other components of Mr. George's compensation. Once Mr. Maffei approves a compensation package for Mr. George, the compensation committee considers and separately approves the package. The compensation committee applies similar standards to those outlined above in approving Mr. George's compensation arrangements.

With respect to all named executive officers, the compensation committee believes in weighing equity incentive compensation more heavily than cash compensation, which is a practice that may not be consistently followed by our reference group or other companies that operate in the same industry as our company.

Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation

For 2011 the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

•: base salary;
•: a performance-based bonus, payable in cash;

116

Table of Contents

•: in the case of Mr. George, a grant of multi-year equity incentive awards; and
•: perquisites and other limited personal benefits.

Base Salary. The compensation committee reviews the base salaries of the named executive officers on an annual basis (other than Messrs. Maffei and George, who are compensated pursuant to their respective employment agreements), as well as at the time of any change in responsibilities. Historically, after establishing a named executive officer's base salary, the compensation committee has limited increases to cost-of-living adjustments and adjustments based on an evaluation of a named executive officer's job performance, any changes in the scope of the named executive officer's responsibilities, and the named executive officer's salary level compared to other named executive officers. The compensation committee believes base salary should be a relatively smaller portion of each named executive officer's overall compensation package, thereby aligning the interests of our executives more closely with those of our stockholders. The compensation committee considered these factors when setting or approving, as applicable, the base salary and annual increases to be paid to Messrs. Maffei and George under their respective employment agreements. After completion of the annual review described above, the named executive officers (other than Messrs. Maffei and George) received cost of living adjustments to their base salaries for 2011.

2011 Performance-based Bonuses

Liberty Awards. For 2011, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. George who participated in a separate performance-based bonus program, described below), which was similar in structure to the program adopted for 2010. This bonus program, which is structured to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), based each participant's bonus on the achievement of an increase in the market capitalization of Liberty Media (assuming the LMC Split-Off occurred), which was subject to negative adjustment depending on a combination of corporate and personal performance measures. Pursuant to the 2011 bonus program, the aggregate market capitalization of Liberty Media's common stock would need to exceed $5 billion (the 2011 Market Capitalization Threshold) before any participant would be entitled to receive any bonus. Liberty Media's market capitalization was calculated using the average closing sales prices of Liberty Media's two series of common stock for the 50 trading days ending on December 15, 2011. The market capitalization calculation was subject to adjustment to reflect stock repurchases, extraordinary dividends, recapitalizations or similar events that could affect market capitalization. If the prescribed 2011 Market Capitalization Threshold were exceeded, 0.5% of the excess would be used to establish the available notional bonus pool from which performance-based bonuses would be payable under this program. Upon establishing the final award amounts, the compensation committee determined that the actual bonus amounts would be payable in cash. That determination was made after consideration of the named executive officers' holdings in Liberty Interactive common stock and options. In addition, the compensation committee determined to pay the bonuses in cash to better align the bonus payment structure with the bonus payment terms of Mr. Maffei's employment agreement. Finally, our compensation committee, with the concurrence of the Liberty Media compensation committee, allocated the final bonus amounts payable between our company and Liberty Media as discussed below.

Each participant was assigned a maximum bonus amount, expressed as a multiple of his 2011 base salary (without giving effect to the allocation of such salary between our company and Liberty Media). The maximum bonus amounts were 400%, 200% and 150% for our Chief Executive Officer, executive vice president and each senior vice president, respectively. If the bonus pool was insufficient to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts of all participants, each participant's maximum bonus amount would be reduced pro rata, for all purposes under the program, based upon his respective maximum

117

Table of Contents

bonus amount. Assuming the bonus pool was sufficient to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts:

•: The compensation committee then considered reducing the maximum bonus payable to each participant based on a subjective assessment of our and Liberty Media's financial performance. No more than 30% of a participant's maximum bonus amount (the Corporate Performance Component) would be affected by this measure. Any reduction would be based on the rating scale below, after review of the adjusted OIBDA (as defined in our and Liberty Media's public filings), revenue and cash flow performance of our company and Liberty Media.

Corporate Performance Component Rating

10	Full 30	%
9	27	%
8	24	%
7	21	%
6	18	%
5	15	%
4	12	%
3	9	%
2	6	%
1	3	%

•: Each participant would be entitled to receive the remaining 70% of his maximum bonus amount (the Individual Performance Component or IPC) subject to the right of the compensation committee to reduce the amount payable based upon its assessment of that participant's individual performance, as follows:

Individual Performance Rating (IPR)

10	Full 70	%
9	61.25	%
8	52.50	%
7	35.00	%
6	17.50	%
5 and below	0	%

In December 2011, after calculating the Liberty Media market capitalization using the formula described above, the compensation committee determined that the 2011 Market Capitalization Threshold was sufficiently exceeded, thereby creating a notional bonus pool large enough to cover the aggregate maximum bonus amounts of all the participants and enabling each participant to receive a bonus of up to his maximum bonus amount. The compensation committee then, in agreement with the Liberty Media compensation committee, made a subjective determination as to the corporate performance rating that would be ascribed for purposes of determining the Corporate Performance Component of each participating named executive officer's bonus. In making this determination, the compensation committee considered the adjusted OIBDA, revenue and cash flow results for each of our company's and Liberty Media's business groups in comparison to preliminary forecasts and took into account general economic conditions and industry developments during the year. A consensus rating for the Corporate Performance Component was then agreed upon.

The compensation committee then reviewed the individual performance of each participant to determine, in agreement with the Liberty Media compensation committee, his IPR and corresponding IPC. The compensation committee took into account a variety of factors, without assigning a numerical

118

Table of Contents

weight to any single performance measure. This determination was based on reports of our board, the observations of committee members throughout the year, executive self-evaluations and, with respect to the participants other than Mr. Maffei, the observations and input of Mr. Maffei. In evaluating the performance of each of the participating named executive officers, the compensation committee considered the various performance objectives related to Liberty which had been assigned to each named executive officer for 2011, including:

The following table presents information concerning the aggregate 2011 performance-based bonus payable to each named executive officer and the amount allocated to and paid by Liberty (as described below), including the Corporate Performance Component and IPC assigned to each participant.

Name	Total Cash Bonus		Cash Bonus Paid By Liberty

Gregory B. Maffei	$	4,441,500	$	1,587,600	18.00	%	52.50	%
Charles Y. Tanabe	$	1,271,489	$	454,490	18.00	%	52.50	%
David J.A. Flowers	$	707,996	$	147,625	18.00	%	52.50	%

Christopher W. Shean	$	751,932	$	323,369	18.00	%	56.91	%

After determining the total cash bonus for each participant, our compensation committee, in agreement with the Liberty Media compensation committee, allocated the final total bonus amounts between Liberty and Liberty Media, and we paid each of the named executive officers the amount allocated to our company. The allocation of the Individual Performance Component was determined by reference to the amount of time spent by a named executive officer on matters for each company as well as results produced by that executive officer for each company. The Corporate Performance Component was allocated according to the amount of such measure attributable to the revenue, adjusted OIBDA and cash flow performance of the Liberty Interactive business group as compared to the revenue, adjusted OIBDA and cash flow performance of the Liberty Capital and the Liberty Starz business groups.

QVC Award. As discussed above, Mr. George was designated as an executive officer of the company in the fourth quarter of 2011. As a result and consistent with the charter of our compensation committee, Mr. George's 2011 performance-based bonus program, was reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer of our company and our compensation committee. Mr. George's 2011 performance-based bonus was structured to align with the 2011 performance-based bonus program established at QVC for QVC senior officers. Pursuant to the program, Mr. George would be paid a bonus based upon QVC EBITDA growth year over year. EBITDA was defined as U.S. EBITDA Growth (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of QVC for fiscal year 2011. That bonus would then be subject to increase of up to 200% or decrease down to zero based on Mr. George's individual performance, as determined by a personal modifier grid that was adopted in connection with the program. The EBITDA payout grid ranged from a threshold payout of 70% of target for 5% EBITDA growth to 240% of target for 15% EBITDA growth.

Mr. George's target bonus was established as 100% of his base salary in connection with the signing of his employment agreement in 2011 as described below. QVC achieved a 5% EBITDA target for the year ended December 31, 2011, which resulted in a payout of 70% of target for the EBITDA performance portion of the bonus. Mr. George's personal performance modifier was 100%, resulting in no adjustment of his bonus up or down for his personal performance. Because Mr. George is now a named executive officer, pursuant to Mr. George's employment agreement, his 2012 and subsequent performance-based bonuses will be determined by our compensation committee.

For more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table below.

Equity Incentive Compensation. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, the compensation committee seeks to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders by awarding stock-based incentive compensation. This ensures that our executives have a continuing stake in our long-term success. The compensation committee weighs stock-based compensation more heavily than cash compensation in determining each named executive officer's overall compensation mix.

120

Table of Contents

The Liberty Interactive Corporation 2007 Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011) (the 2007 Incentive Plan) and the Liberty Interactive Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011) (the 2010 Incentive Plan) provide for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. Our executives have historically been granted stock options and awards of restricted stock in preference to other awards because of our company's belief that options and restricted shares better promote retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. Upon making the determination to grant equity incentive awards to our named executive officers, the compensation committee establishes the value of the awards to be made to each named executive officer, and, prior to the LMC Split-Off, that value had been allocated among our tracking stocks, pro rata, based on then-recent, relative market capitalizations of each tracker.

Stock options are awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, measured by reference to the closing sale price on the grant date. Historically, grants had been made to our employees once a year with a term of seven years and vesting over a three to five year period. In late 2009 and early 2010, however, the compensation committee determined to make larger grants (equaling approximately four to five years' value of the annual grants made in 2009) that vest between four and five and three-quarters years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These new grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and expire in 10 years rather than 7 years to encourage our executives to remain with our company over the long-term and to better align them with our shareholders. Mr. Maffei received such a multi-year grant in December 2009 and the other named executive officers (other than Mr. George) received similar multi-year stock option awards in March 2010. The grants to the named executive officers (other than Mr. Maffei and Mr. George) vest one-third of the shares subject to such options in each of June 2013, June 2014 and December 2015. Mr. Maffei's multi-year grant vests one-half in December 2013 and one-half in December 2014. In keeping with this compensation philosophy, Mr. George received a multi-year stock option award in March 2011. One-half of the shares subject to Mr. George's options vest in each of December 2014 and December 2015 and the options expire 7 years from grant. For more information regarding these equity incentive grants, please see the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table below.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. The perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executives (that are not otherwise available to all of our salaried employees, such as matching contributions to the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan and the payment of life insurance premiums) consist of:

•: limited personal use of Liberty Media's corporate aircraft (pursuant to an aircraft sharing arrangement between our company and Liberty Media);
•: occasional, personal use of Liberty Media's apartment in New York City (pursuant to a sharing arrangement between our company and Liberty Media), which is primarily used for business purposes, and occasional, personal use of a company car and driver;
•: in the case of the named executive officers other than Mr. George, for periods prior to the LMC Split-Off, a deferred compensation plan that provides above-market preferential returns; and
•: in the case of Mr. George, a tax gross-up relating to certain out of state income taxes to which Mr. George was subject in connection with the performance of his duties outside of QVC's headquarters.

On occasion, and with the approval of our Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, executives may have family members and other guests accompany them on Liberty Media's corporate aircraft when traveling on business. Under the terms of the employment arrangements with our Chairman and Chief

121

Table of Contents

Executive Officer, those individuals and their guests may use the corporate aircraft we share with Liberty Media for non-business purposes subject to specified limitations.

Pursuant to Mr. Maffei's employment agreement (which was assigned to Liberty Media in the LMC Split-Off), Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment, except as otherwise provided below, (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft or (iii) December 31, 2014. If Mr. Maffei's employment terminates due to disability, for good reason or without cause, Mr. Maffei will be entitled to continued use of the corporate aircraft for 18 months after termination of his employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates, for all personal use of the corporate aircraft. Pursuant to our services agreement and aircraft sharing arrangement with Liberty Media, we reimburse Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in accordance with SIFL rates, associated with Mr. Maffei using its corporate aircraft that are allocable to our company.

For disclosure purposes, we determine the aggregate incremental cost to our company of an executive's personal use of corporate aircraft using a method that takes into account:

•: landing and parking expenses;
•: crew travel expenses;
•: supplies and catering;
•: aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight;
•: any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and
•: passenger ground transportation.

Because the company's aircraft is used primarily for business travel, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as salaries of pilots and crew, purchase or lease costs of aircraft and costs of maintenance and upkeep.

For purposes of determining an executive's taxable income, personal use of corporate aircraft is valued using a method based on SIFL rates, as published by the IRS. The amount determined using the SIFL rates is typically lower than the amount determined using the incremental cost method. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the amount we may deduct for a purely personal flight is limited to the amount included in the taxable income of the executives who took the flight. Also, the deductibility of any non-business use will be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent that the named executive officer's compensation that is subject to that limitation exceeds $1 million. See "—Deductibility of Executive Compensation" below.

Deferred Compensation. Prior to the LMC Split-Off, the named executive officers (other than Mr. George who is an employee of our operating subsidiary, not our company), as well as other executives with the title of Senior Vice President and above, were entitled to participate in our former 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated) to help accommodate their tax and estate planning objectives. This plan was originally adopted by our board of directors and assumed by Liberty Media in the LMC Split-Off. Under the plan, participants were entitled to elect to defer up to 50% of their base salaries and their cash performance bonuses. Compensation deferred under the plan that otherwise would have been received in 2011 prior to the LMC Split-Off will earn interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. In the LMC Split-Off, Liberty Media assumed the plan and all outstanding obligations thereunder. Following the LMC Split-Off, our named executive officers may not participate in the plan with respect to any portion of their base salaries or cash performance bonuses allocable to our company, with the exception of the application of the previously made deferral elections to the 2011 performance-based

122

Table of Contents

bonuses which were paid by Liberty. Mr. Shean had a deferral election in place for such bonus, and we will be responsible for the payment of such deferred amount and all interest thereon going forward. For more information on the deferred compensation plan, see "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation Plan" and the "—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans" table below.

Employment Arrangements with Certain Named Executive Officers

In December 2009, the compensation committee approved a new compensation package for Mr. Maffei commencing January 1, 2010, which was later memorialized in his employment agreement. In connection with the LMC Split-Off, Liberty Media assumed his employment agreement but we effectively continue to be subject to the compensatory requirements included therein as we share Mr. Maffei's services with Liberty Media. In addition, in connection with the assignment of his employment agreement to Liberty Media, we entered into a separate agreement with Mr. Maffei pursuant to which we memorialized our respective rights and obligations with respect to his Liberty Interactive equity incentive awards. For a more detailed description of these arrangements, see "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" below.

In May 2011, in recognition of Mr. George's strong performance at our operating subsidiary, QVC, and to induce him to remain with QVC as its chief executive officer, QVC entered into an employment agreement with Mr. George. Consistent with our executive compensation policies, Mr. Maffei was primarily responsible for negotiating and approving the compensatory elements included in Mr. George's employment agreement (as described in more detail above). For a more detailed description of these arrangements, see "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George" below.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

In developing the compensation packages for the named executive officers, the compensation committee considered the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. That provision prohibits the deduction of compensation of more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. One exception is for performance-based compensation, including stock options granted under the existing incentive plans or to be granted under the 2010 Incentive Plan. The compensation committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code, in order to maintain flexibility in making compensation decisions. Portions of the compensation we pay to certain of the named executive officers may not be deductible due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Policy on Restatements

In those instances where we grant cash or equity-based incentive compensation, we include in the related agreement with the executive a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or stock appreciation rights). That right will arise if (1) a material restatement of any of our financial statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of our compensation committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In determining the amount of such repayment or return, our compensation committee may take into account, among other factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected by the errors giving rise to the restatement. The cash, stock or other compensation that we may require the executive to repay or return must have been received by the executive during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the SEC,

123

Table of Contents

whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement. The compensation required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or company stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise during that 12-month period of any stock appreciation right held by the executive or (B) upon the payment during that 12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is determined by reference to the value of company stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the disposition during that 12-month period of company stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment during that 12-month period of any award of equity-based incentive compensation.

Risk Assessment in Compensation Programs

Following the completion of a risk assessment of our compensation programs applicable to all employees, we have concluded that the design and operation of our compensation programs do not provide our employees with incentive to engage in business activities or other actions that would threaten the value of our company or the investment of our stockholders. We have also concluded that any risks associated with our compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. In making these determinations, we considered that the 2011 performance-based bonus program for our executive officers included, as a threshold requirement for the payment of any bonuses, a minimum aggregate market capitalization of our former subsidiary Liberty Media, which would have been supported by Liberty Media's ongoing stock repurchase program. However, we believe that the inclusion of the separate corporate performance evaluation and the individual performance evaluation to establish the actual bonus amounts payable under this program more than mitigate any perceived risk associated with the use of Liberty Media's market capitalization in determining executive compensation. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—2011 Performance-based Bonuses". This assessment also consisted of a review of program policies and practices, determinations as to the sufficiency of risk identification, and determinations as to our ability to manage significant risks arising from such programs.

(1): With respect to the year ended December 31, 2011, the amounts set forth in this table reflect compensation paid to our named executive officers from January 1, 2011 to September 23, 2011 (the date of the LMC Split-Off) and compensation paid to our named executive officers by Liberty Media, but allocable to our company under the services agreement, for the period September 24, 2011 to December 31, 2011 (except with respect to Mr. George, whose compensation reported below was paid directly by QVC with respect to the entire year and is not covered by the services agreement). With respect to the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amounts set forth in this table reflect all compensation paid to our named executive officers by our company (other than Mr. George who first became a named executive officer of our company in 2011). See "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Services Agreement."
(2): The aggregate grant date fair value of the equity incentive awards has been computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, but (pursuant to SEC regulations) without reduction for estimated forfeitures. For a description of the assumptions applied in these calculations, see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 (which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2012).

See "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—Deferred Compensation," and "—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans" below. Additionally, the 2011 amount reflected for Mr. Shean represents the portion of above-market earnings incurred prior to the LMC Split-Off and an additional amount of above-market earnings following the LMC Split-Off on the portion of Mr. Shean's year-end bonus which was allocated to our company under the services agreement.
(4): The Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan, which was sponsored and administered by our company prior to the LMC Split-Off, was transferred to and assumed by Liberty Media. The plan provides employees with an opportunity to save for retirement. The Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan participants may contribute up to 75% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis to the plan and an additional 10% of their eligible compensation on an after-tax basis (subject to specified maximums and IRS limits), and we contributed a matching contribution based on the participants' contributions as set forth in the plan. Participant contributions to the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan are fully vested upon contribution.

Prior to the LMC Split-Off, we owned an apartment in New York City which was primarily used for business purposes. The apartment was assigned to Liberty Media in the LMC Split-Off. Mr. Maffei makes use of this apartment and a company car and driver for personal reasons. From time to time, we also pay the cost of miscellaneous shipping and catering expenses for Mr. Maffei.

(9): Includes the grant date fair value of Mr. Maffei's multi-year option award granted in connection with his previous agreement in principle to continue serving as our Chief Executive Officer until 2014. See "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation" for information regarding our compensation practices relating to equity incentive awards. Although his amended compensation package, which applies to the period 2010-2014, was assumed by Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Split-Off, these awards were granted in December 2009 by our company and are, accordingly, reflected in his 2009 compensation information above. Mr. Maffei entered into a separate agreement with our company with respect to certain of his equity awards (including his Multi-Year Award) in connection with the LMC Split-Off. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards."
(10): Represents the grant date fair value of Mr. George's multi-year option award granted in March 2011. See "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2011 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation" and "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George" for more information. Mr. George's multi-year option award is similar in function to the multi-year awards previously granted to named executive officers, and it is anticipated that Mr. George will not receive any additional equity awards during the term of his employment agreement with QVC.
(11): Includes a tax gross-up relating to certain out of state income taxes to which Mr. George was subject in connection with the performance of his duties outside of QVC's headquarters.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

Gregory B. Maffei

Employment Agreement. On December 17, 2009, the compensation committee approved in principle a new compensation arrangement in favor of Mr. Maffei providing, among other things, for a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2014, with an annual base salary of $1.5 million, increasing annually by 5% of the prior year's base salary, and an annual

126

Table of Contents

target cash bonus equal to 200% of the applicable year's annual base salary. Also, on December 17, 2009, in connection with the approval in principle of his compensation arrangement, Mr. Maffei received a multi-year grant of options to purchase the following shares of our company with exercise prices equal to the closing sale prices of the applicable series of stock on the grant date: 8,743,000 shares of LINTA, 760,000 shares of our former Series A Liberty Starz common stock and 1,353,000 shares of our former Series A Liberty Capital common stock. One-half of the options will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date with the remaining options vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei's continued employment on the applicable vesting date. The options have a term of 10 years. See "—Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards" below for more information regarding these options.

On May 17, 2010, we entered into a definitive employment agreement with Mr. Maffei, memorializing the compensation arrangement that was approved in principle by the compensation committee on December 17, 2009. The employment agreement also included terms related to Liberty Interactive equity awards held by Mr. Maffei, including the multi-year award of options that was granted to him on December 17, 2009 (as described in more detail below).

In connection with the LMC Split-Off, Liberty Media assumed this employment agreement, and in February 2012 the agreement was amended and restated effective September 23, 2011 to reflect the change in employer and to specify the equity awards covered by the agreement following the LMC Split-Off. The amended and restated agreement with Liberty Media provides that: (i) in the event Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement) he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law; (ii) if Mr. Maffei terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior year, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law (Standard Payments); (iii) if Mr. Maffei is terminated by Liberty Media without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, the agreement provides for him to receive the Standard Payments and a severance payment of $7.8 million; and (iv) in the case of Mr. Maffei's death or his disability, the agreement provides for the right to receive the Standard Payments and a severance payment of $7.8 million. In addition, if Mr. Maffei is terminated without cause or due to disability, or terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. Maffei will be entitled to continuation of certain perquisites for 18 months, including use of our corporate aircraft. Although we are not a party to Mr. Maffei's amended and restated employment agreement, we are obligated to reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of any payments made to Mr. Maffei thereunder (other than payments relating to equity awards which are not allocable under the services agreement) pursuant to the services agreement.

Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards. Following the LMC Split-Off, Mr. Maffei continued to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of our company and we entered into an Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards with Mr. Maffei, effective as of September 23, 2011, pursuant to which we agreed that for so long as Mr. Maffei is employed by us he will be employed as the company's President and Chief Executive Officer and will be nominated and recommended for election to our board of directors at each annual meeting of shareholders occurring prior to December 31, 2014. The agreement includes provisions, similar to those in Mr. Maffei's December 2009 employment agreement, regarding his employment as our company's President and Chief Executive Officer while he is employed by our company and regarding his position on our board of directors, including his membership on the executive committee of the board. The agreement does not include an obligation to pay Mr. Maffei a salary or bonus or to provide him with benefits (other than reimbursement of expenses) or to pay him severance upon termination of his employment with us, but our company bears a portion of the cost to Liberty Media of Mr. Maffei's salary, bonus, severance and other benefits pursuant to agreements entered into between our company and Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Split-Off (as described above).

127

Table of Contents

The Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards also includes terms previously set forth in his 2009 employment agreement with us that relate to Liberty Interactive Corporation equity awards held by Mr. Maffei, including terms that affect the options to now purchase 8,743,000 shares of LINTA stock at an exercise price of $10.27 per share that were granted to Mr. Maffei on December 17, 2009 (the Multi-Year Award). One-half of the options granted in the Multi-Year Award will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date with the remaining options vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei being employed by our company on the applicable vesting date and to the early vesting events described below. The options have a term of 10 years.

The Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards provides that, in the event Mr. Maffei is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement), or if he terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will forfeit all rights to his unvested restricted shares and unvested options. However, in both cases, his vested, unexercised options and similar rights as of his termination date will remain exercisable either (1) for 90 days after his termination or until the original expiration date of the applicable award, if sooner, or (2) if any such termination of his employment occurs following December 31, 2014 or following a change in control of our company (as defined in the agreement), until the original expiration date of the applicable award. If Mr. Maffei is terminated by our company without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, the agreement provides for his unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights (including his Multi-Year Award) to vest pro rata based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date plus 18 months and for all vested and accelerated options and similar rights to remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates; provided, that if Mr. Maffei continues to be employed by Liberty Media following such a termination from our company without cause or for good reason, he may elect to have his unvested equity awards continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the agreement based on his continued service with Liberty Media. If a termination without cause or for good reason occurs within 90 days before or 210 days after members of the Malone Group (as defined in the agreement) cease to meet certain ownership requirements with respect to our company as described in the agreement, then Mr. Maffei's unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights granted by our company will instead vest in full and will remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. In the case of Mr. Maffei's death or his disability, the agreement provides for his unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights to fully vest and for his vested and accelerated options and similar rights to remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. Further, in the event of certain change in control transactions, including spin-off or split-off transactions which exceed a specified threshold of our company's consolidated assets, Mr. Maffei's unvested restricted shares and unvested options and similar rights would vest in full unless Mr. Maffei is named the Chief Executive Officer of the spin-off or split-off entity and his equity awards are adjusted in the transaction in such a manner as to preserve the intrinsic value thereof.

The Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards further provides that it is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and provides for certain reimbursements to Mr. Maffei in the event the agreement does not so comply. The agreement also contains customary provisions pertaining to confidentiality and limitations on outside activities.

Aircraft Usage. In 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Maffei, which was assumed by Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Split-Off, pursuant to which he is entitled to personal use of corporate aircraft not to exceed 120 hours of flight time per year through the first to occur of the termination of his employment agreement with Liberty Media or the cessation of aircraft ownership by Liberty Media. Mr. Maffei will continue to incur taxable income, calculated in accordance with SIFL, for all personal use of Liberty Media's corporate aircraft. Pursuant to our services agreement and aircraft sharing arrangement with Liberty Media, we reimburse Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in accordance with SIFL, associated with Mr. Maffei using its corporate aircraft that are allocable to our company.

Michael A. George

On May 3, 2011, QVC entered into an employment agreement with Mr. George. The agreement provides for, among other things, a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 15, 2015, with an annual base salary of $1 million, increasing annually by 3% of the prior year's base salary, and an annual target cash bonus equal to 100% of the applicable year's annual base salary which will be determined by the chief executive officer of our company pursuant to criteria established in QVC's annual bonus program (which program is approved each year by our company's chief executive officer) or, in the event Mr. George is considered a "covered employee" for any given year for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, his bonus will be determined by our company's compensation committee based on such criteria as approved in advance by such committee and that are designed in a manner such that the bonus will be treated as "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m). Also pursuant to the agreement, Mr. George is entitled to certain welfare, retirement and fringe benefits available to senior-level executives of QVC.

On March 2, 2011, Mr. George was granted 3.8 million options to acquire shares of LINTA (the 2011 LINTA Options) at an exercise price of $16.01 per share, which was the closing price of LINTA on such date. One-half of the 2011 LINTA Options will vest on December 15, 2014 with the remaining options vesting on December 15, 2015. The options have a term of 7 years. It is anticipated that Mr. George will not receive any additional equity award grants during the term of his employment agreement.

The agreement provides that, in the event Mr. George is terminated for cause (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expenses, his vested benefits and any amounts due under applicable law. In addition, all equity awards granted to Mr. George prior to January 1, 2011 that are outstanding and unvested at the time of his termination for cause (the Pre-2011 Unvested Awards) and all 2011 LINTA Options then held by Mr. George that have not become exercisable as of the date of such termination will be forfeited, and all equity awards granted to Mr. George prior to January 1, 2011 that are outstanding and vested but unexercised at the time of such termination (the Pre-2011 Vested Awards) and all 2011 LINTA Options that are outstanding and vested but unexercised as of the date of such termination will remain exercisable for a period of up to 90 days after the date of such termination or until the original expiration date of the options if sooner. If Mr. George terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to his accrued base salary though the date of termination, any declared but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year of termination, unpaid expenses, his vested benefits and any amounts due under applicable law. He will forfeit all rights to any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and to any 2011 LINTA Options then held that have not become exercisable as of the date of his termination, any Pre-2011 Vested Awards that are options or similar rights will be treated as specified in the applicable agreement governing such equity award, and any 2011 LINTA Options that are outstanding and vested but unexercised as of the date of termination will be exercisable for a period of 90 days after the date of termination or until the original expiration date of the options if sooner. If, however, Mr. George terminates his employment for good reason or if his employment is terminated by QVC without cause, then he is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of one year and a lump sum payment of $1.5 million, in addition to accrued base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expenses, his vested benefits and any other amounts due under applicable law. In addition, any Pre-2011 Unvested Awards held on the date of termination that would have vested during the 365-day period following the date of such termination had Mr. George continued to be employed by QVC during such period will vest as of the date of termination. Further, a pro rata portion of each tranche of the 2011 LINTA Options that is not vested on the date of termination will vest as of such date, with such pro rata portion based on the portion of time Mr. George was employed by QVC and its affiliates during the vesting period of such tranche plus 365 days. The exercisability of any Pre-2011 Vested Awards, any vested 2011 LINTA Options and any

129

Table of Contents

Pre-2011 Unvested Awards that vest pursuant to the foregoing sentence will be extended to the earlier of the original expiration date of the option or two years from the date of the termination. In the case of Mr. George's death or disability (as defined in the agreement), the agreement provides for the right to receive his base salary for a period of one year, his accrued base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expenses, any declared but unpaid bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which the termination occurs, his vested benefits and any amounts due under applicable law. In addition, the Pre-2011 Vested Awards, the Pre-2011 Unvested Awards and the 2011 LINTA Options will immediately vest and become exercisable (to the extent not already vested) and will be exercisable throughout the remainder of the full original term of such equity award.

Equity Incentive Plans

The 2007 Incentive Plan and the 2010 Incentive Plan are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The existing incentive plans are designed to provide additional remuneration to certain employees and independent contractors for exceptional service and to encourage their investment in our company. Our compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the existing incentive plans (collectively, awards).

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2007 Incentive Plan is 38,185,000 and under the 2010 Incentive Plan is 40,915,000, subject, in each case, to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the respective plans. With limited exceptions, no person may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 6,439,698 shares of our common stock under the 2007 Incentive Plan and 6,546,903 shares of our common stock under the 2010 Incentive Plan (subject, in each case, to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the plans) nor may any person receive under each of the existing incentive plans payment for cash awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the existing incentive plans are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. Each of the 2007 Incentive Plan and the 2010 Incentive Plan has a 5 year term.

2006 Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2007 and until the time of the LMC Split-Off, officers of our company at the level of Senior Vice President and above were eligible to participate in the Liberty Media Corporation 2006 Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the 2006 deferred compensation plan). In connection with the LMC Split-Off (pursuant to which employees of our company became employees of Liberty Media), Liberty Media assumed this plan and all obligations outstanding thereunder. Prior to the assumption of this plan by Liberty Media, each eligible officer of our company, including our Chief Executive Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, could elect to defer up to 50% of his annual base salary and the cash portion of his performance bonus under the 2006 deferred compensation plan. Elections were required to be made in advance of certain deadlines and could include (1) the selection of a payment date, which generally could not be later than 30 years from the end of the year in which the applicable compensation is initially deferred, and (2) the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal annual installments over two to five years. Compensation deferred under the 2006 deferred compensation plan earned interest at the rate of 9% per year, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.

As a result of the assumption by Liberty Media of this plan, an officer of our company is only permitted to defer up to 50% of the portion of such officer's annual base salary and the portion of

130

Table of Contents

such officer's performance bonus, in each case, allocable to Liberty Media pursuant to the services agreement. Our officers are no longer permitted to elect the deferral of a portion of their base salary and performance bonus allocable to our company, with the exception of the application of the previously made deferral elections to the 2011 performance-based bonuses which were paid by Liberty. Mr. Shean had a deferral election in place for such bonus, and we will be responsible for the payment of such deferred amount and all interest thereon going forward.

The Liberty Media board of directors reserves the right to terminate the 2006 deferred compensation plan at any time. An optional termination by the Liberty Media board of directors will not result in any distribution acceleration.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans

The following table sets forth information regarding the 2006 deferred compensation plan in which Mr. Shean participated during the year ended December 31, 2011. No other named executive officers participated in this plan during such time. In connection with the LMC Split-Off, this plan and the outstanding obligations thereunder were assumed by Liberty Media effective September 23, 2011. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation" for more information.

(a): Prior year amounts for Mr. Shean have been restated to correct a clerical error.

(3): As described above in "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2006 Deferred Compensation," Mr. Shean had a deferral election in place under the 2006 deferred compensation plan following the LMC Split-Off with respect to $32,336, which represents 10% of the portion of his 2011 performance-based bonus that was allocable to and paid by our company. While such amount is reflected in the amounts under the plan that were transferred to Liberty Media upon its assumption of the plan and obligations thereunder, Liberty will be responsible for the payment of the $32,336 of deferred principal amount and for the payment of interest income at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, thereon.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment had terminated or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2011. In the event of such a termination or change in control, the actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these arrangements from time to time.

The amounts provided in the tables are based on the closing market prices on December 30, 2011, the last trading day of such year, for each series of our common stock then-outstanding: LINTA—$16.22 and LINTB—$16.25. The value of the options and SARs shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise or base price of the award and the applicable closing market price. The value of the restricted stock shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of shares vested.

Table of Contents

Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under the existing incentive plans. Additionally, each of Messrs. Maffei and George is entitled to certain payments upon termination under his respective employment agreement. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements" above.

Set forth below is a description of the circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout:

Voluntary Termination. Under the existing incentive plans, each named executive officer would only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date.

Termination for Cause. All equity grants (whether vested or unvested) under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer (other than Mr. Maffei and Mr. George) who is terminated for "cause." The existing incentive plans define "cause" as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided that, if such termination is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), "cause" means a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement. Pursuant to Mr. Maffei's Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards, in the event of his termination for cause (as defined in his agreement), Mr. Maffei's vested stock options and similar rights would remain exercisable for a short period following his termination. Pursuant to Mr. George's employment agreement, his Pre-2011 Vested Awards and vested 2011 LINTA Options would also remain exercisable for a short period following his termination.

Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. Pursuant to the existing incentive plans and the related award agreements (and except as described below), if a named executive officer were terminated by our company without cause or by such named executive officer for good reason (as defined in the applicable award agreements), in addition to his vested equity awards, he would be entitled to vesting in full with respect to any outstanding options or SARs that would have vested during the calendar year in which the termination occurs. Mr. Maffei's Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards instead provides for an additional 18 months of vesting following a termination without cause or for good reason with respect to his equity incentive awards, including his Multi-Year Award. Similarly, the award agreements relating to Messrs. Tanabe's, Shean's, Flower's and Rosenthaler's multi-year awards and Mr. George's employment agreement with respect to his Pre-2011 Unvested Awards provide for an additional 12 months of vesting. Mr. George's employment agreement also provides that his 2011 LINTA Options would vest as to the portion of the unvested awards that could have vested during his employment with QVC (without regard to the cliff vesting feature of the 2011 LINTA Options) and an additional 12 months thereafter.

Death. In the event of death, the existing incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards.

No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to life insurance policies, which we make available to all our employees.

Disability. In the event of a disability, which is generally the inability to perform gainful activity for at least 12 months, the existing incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards.

No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to short-term and long-term disability policies, which we make available to all our employees.

136

Table of Contents

Change in Control. In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options or SARs and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards. A change in control is generally defined as:

•: The acquisition of beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors.
•: Any non-exempt person purchases our common stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer, without the prior consent of our board of directors.
•: The individuals constituting our board of directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a majority of the board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the board to approve new members by approval of at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.
•: Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were common stockholders of our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the company or the dissolution of the company.

In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to accelerate the existing equity awards (other than those held by Mr. Maffei, whose awards are more specifically covered by the terms of his Agreement Regarding LINTA Equity Awards, or by Mr. George, whose awards are more specifically covered by the terms of his employment agreement) if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing awards. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed no such determination was made.

(1): If Mr. Maffei's employment had been terminated at Liberty Media's election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control), as of December 31, 2011, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of $7,800,000. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above. Although Mr. Maffei's employment agreement (as amended) was assumed by Liberty Media in the LMC Split-Off, the 30% of such lump sum severance payment that would have been allocable to our company pursuant to the services agreement is reflected in the table.
(2): Based on the number of vested options and SARs held by each named executive officer at year-end. For more information, see the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.
(3): Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs held by Mr. Maffei at year-end and (ii) the number of unvested options and SARs and the number of shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Maffei at year-end that would vest during his 18-month severance period (January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013), pursuant to his employment arrangements. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei" above and the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.

(5): Does not include any portion of the multi-year awards granted to such named executive officer because, even giving effect to the additional 12 months of vesting, no portion of such multi-year awards would have become vested.
(6): If Mr. George's employment had been terminated at QVC's election without cause or by Mr. George for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control), as of December 31, 2011, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of $1,500,000. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George" above.
(7): If Mr. George's employment had been terminated at QVC's election without cause or by Mr. George for good reason (whether before or within a specified period following a change in control) or in the event of his death or disability, he would have been entitled to receive a base compensation continuing payment for one year equal to his base salary upon termination.
(8): Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. George at year-end, (ii) the number of Pre-2011 Unvested Awards that would vest within 365 days of his termination and (iii) a portion of the 2011 LINTA Options that could have vested during his employment with QVC (without regard to the cliff vesting feature of the 2011 LINTA Options) and an additional 12 months thereafter. See "—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael A. George" above and the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End" table above.
(9): Represents deferred compensation payable to Mr. Shean based on a one-time deferral election of a portion of his annual cash bonus that was allocable to and paid by Liberty pursuant to the services agreement.

(10): Under the 2006 deferred compensation plan, we do not, and Liberty Media does not, have an acceleration right to pay out account balances to Mr. Shean upon this type of termination. For purposes of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that we were permitted to make payments to Mr. Shean in accordance with his standing election under the plan described above in footnote (9), subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
(11): No immediate distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of this type of termination (other than pursuant to Liberty Media's compensation committee's right to distribute certain de minimus amounts from Mr. Shean's deferred compensation account).
(12): Assuming Mr. Shean filed an election to accelerate distributions upon his separation from service due to death or disability, he or his beneficiary, as applicable, has the option to accelerate distributions under the 2006 deferred compensation plan (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation above).
(13): The 2006 deferred compensation plan provides Liberty Media's compensation committee with the option of terminating the plan 30 days preceding or within 12 months after a change of control of Liberty Media and distributing the account balances (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation above).

Equity Incentive Plan. The Liberty Interactive Corporation 2002 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011) (the 2002 director plan) and the Liberty Interactive Corporation 2011 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective November 7, 2011) (the 2011 director plan) are administered by our entire board of directors. Our board of directors has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2002 director plan and the 2011 director plan are designed to provide our nonemployee directors with additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our common stock and to aid in attracting persons of exceptional ability to become nonemployee directors of our company. Our board of directors may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2002 director plan or the 2011 director plan. As of December 31, 2011, no grants had been made under the 2011 director plan.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2002 director plan is 1,785,000 and under the 2011 director plan is 815,000, in each case subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the plan. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2002 director plan and the 2011 director plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

Director Restricted Share Grants. Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the 2002 director plan, on December 15, 2011, our board of directors granted each of Mr. Gilchrist, Mr. Rapley, Mr. Robison and Ms. Wong 5,370 restricted shares of LINTA. These restricted shares will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be forfeited if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date.

Director Option Grants. Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the 2002 director plan, on December 15, 2011, our board of directors granted to each of Dr. Evan Malone and Mr. Romrell options to purchase 12,170 shares of LINTA at an exercise price equal to $15.31, which was the closing price of such stock on the grant date. The per share grant date fair value of these options for each director was $6.8998. The options will become exercisable on the second anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be terminated without becoming exercisable if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date. Once vested, the options will remain exercisable until the seventh anniversary of the grant date, or, if earlier, until the first business day following the first anniversary of the date the grantee ceases to be a director.

John C. Malone

In connection with the merger of TCI and AT&T in 1999, an employment agreement between John C. Malone and TCI was assigned to our company. In connection with the LMC Split-Off, Mr. Malone's employment agreement (as amended) and his deferred compensation arrangements, as described below, were assumed by Liberty Media. The term of Mr. Malone's employment agreement is extended daily so that the remainder of the employment term is five years. The employment agreement was amended in June 1999 to provide for, among other things, an annual salary of $2,600, subject to increase with board approval. The employment agreement was amended in 2003 to provide for payment or reimbursement of personal expenses, including professional fees and other expenses incurred by Mr. Malone for estate, tax planning and other services, and for personal use of corporate aircraft and flight crew. The aggregate amount of such payments or reimbursements and the value of his personal use of corporate aircraft was originally limited to $500,000 per year but increased to $1 million effective January 1, 2007 by our compensation committee. Although the "Director Compensation Table" table below reflects the portion of the aggregate incremental cost of Mr. Malone's personal use of our corporate aircraft attributable to our company, the value of his aircraft use for purposes of his employment agreement is determined in accordance with SIFL, which aggregated $80,381 for use of the aircraft by our company and Liberty Media during the year ended December 31, 2011. The costs, calculated in accordance with SIFL, incurred with respect to Mr. Malone prior to the LMC Split-Off were paid by our company, and following the LMC Split-Off a portion of the costs, calculated in accordance with SIFL, incurred with respect to Mr. Malone were allocated to our company and reimbursed to Liberty Media under the services agreement. For the period between September 24, 2011 (the day after the LMC Split-Off) through December 31, 2011, the percentage of Mr. Malone's time that was allocated to our company under the services agreement was 30%. Similarly, we are now allocated, and reimburse Liberty Media for, portions of the other components of the payments/reimbursements to Mr. Malone described above.

In December 2008, the compensation committee determined to modify Mr. Malone's employment arrangements to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving fixed monthly payments in 2009, while he remains employed by our company, in satisfaction of our obligations to him under a 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, a 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and an installment severance plan, in each case, entered into with him by our predecessors (and which had been assumed by our company). At the time of the amendment, the amounts owed to Mr. Malone under these arrangements aggregated approximately $2.4 million, $20 million and $39 million, respectively. As a result of these modifications, Mr. Malone receives 240 equal monthly installments, which commenced February 2009, of: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement, (2) approximately $237,000 under the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement and (3) approximately $164,000 under the installment severance plan. Interest ceased to accrue under the installment severance plan once these payments began; however, interest continues to accrue on the 1993 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 8% per annum and on the 1982 deferred compensation arrangement at a rate of 13% per annum. In connection with the LMC Split-Off, Liberty Media assumed all outstanding obligations under these deferred compensation arrangements and the installment severance plan.

Under the terms of Mr. Malone's employment agreement, he is entitled to receive upon the termination of his employment for any reason (other than for death or "cause"), a lump sum equal to his salary for a period of 5 full years following termination (calculated on the basis of $2,600 per annum, the lump sum severance payment). As described above, in connection with the LMC Split-Off, Liberty Media assumed Mr. Malone's employment agreement and all outstanding obligations thereunder, and we will reimburse Liberty Media for our allocated portion of any such lump sum severance payments made thereunder.

For a description of the effect of any termination event or a change in control of our company on his employment agreement, see "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" above.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed "related party transaction" (as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated by our board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company without the approval of the audit committee of our board or another independent body of our board designated to address such actual or potential conflicts.

The following transactions were approved by an independent committee of our board in accordance with the foregoing.

Lockerz

In February 2009, LMC Lockerz, LLC (LMC Lockerz), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty, and Kathy Savitt formed Lockerz, LLC (Lockerz), a Delaware limited liability company, which is engaged in the business of creating and operating a destination e-commerce, content and community website aimed primarily at teenagers and "Tweens." In November 2009, Gregory B. Maffei, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, invested $2.86 million in Lockerz for an approximate 24.2% aggregate equity interest. In January 2010, Mr. Maffei made an additional capital contribution of $857,143, and, in March 2010, Mr. Maffei made an additional capital contribution of $571,428. On May 28, 2010, Lockerz was restructured in connection with an investment by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and Lockerz, Inc. was formed as the new parent company. In January 2011, shares in Lockerz were issued to a new investor in connection with an acquisition by Lockerz. As of April 30, 2012, on a fully diluted basis, Mr. Maffei owns approximately 11% of Lockerz and LMC Lockerz owns approximately 29% of Lockerz, with the balance owned by the other shareholders. Mr. Maffei's investments in Lockerz have all been made on the same terms as those provided to LMC Lockerz. Mr. Maffei is also a director of Lockerz.

Reorganization Agreement

On August 30, 2011, Liberty and Liberty Media entered into a reorganization agreement to provide for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the LMC Split-Off, certain conditions to the LMC Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between Liberty and Liberty Media with respect to and resulting from the LMC Split-Off. The reorganization agreement also provides for mutual indemnification obligations, which are designed to make Liberty Media financially responsible for substantially all of the liabilities that may exist relating to the

145

Table of Contents

businesses included in Liberty Media at the time of the LMC Split-Off together with certain other specified liabilities, as well as for all liabilities incurred by Liberty Media after the LMC Split-Off, and to make Liberty financially responsible for all potential liabilities of Liberty Media which are not related to Liberty Media's businesses, including, for example, any liabilities arising as a result of Liberty Media having been a subsidiary of Liberty, together with certain other specified liabilities. These indemnification obligations exclude any matters relating to taxes. For a description of the allocation of tax-related obligations, please see "—Tax Sharing Agreement" below.

In addition, the reorganization agreement provides for each of Liberty and Liberty Media to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of the other party for five years following the LMC Split-Off, subject to customary exceptions, including disclosures required by law, court order or government regulation.

Services Agreement

On September 23, 2011, Liberty and Liberty Media entered into the services agreement, pursuant to which, following the LMC Split-Off, Liberty Media provides Liberty with specified services and benefits, including:

•: technical and information technology assistance (including management information systems, computer, data storage network and telecommunications services), computers, office supplies, postage, courier service and other office services;
•: insurance administration and risk management services;
•: other services typically performed by Liberty Media's treasury, legal, investor relations, tax, accounting, finance, payroll, cash management, human resources, and real estate management departments and personnel; and
•: such other services as Liberty and Liberty Media may from time to time mutually determine to be necessary or desirable.

Liberty makes payments to Liberty Media under the services agreement based upon a portion of Liberty Media's personnel costs (taking into account wages and benefits) of the Liberty Media officers and employees who are expected to provide services to Liberty. These personnel costs will be comparable to those arrived at on an arms'-length basis and will be based upon the allocated percentages of time spent by Liberty Media personnel performing services for Liberty under the services agreement. Liberty will also reimburse Liberty Media for direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by Liberty Media for third party services provided to Liberty. Liberty and Liberty Media will evaluate all charges for reasonableness semi-annually and make adjustments to these charges as Liberty and Liberty Media mutually agree upon. We have paid Liberty Media for fees and reimbursable expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 under the services agreement of approximately $1.5 million.

The services agreement will continue in effect until the close of business on the third anniversary of the LMC Split-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) by Liberty at any time on at least 30 days' prior written notice, (2) by Liberty Media upon written notice to Liberty, following certain changes in control of Liberty or Liberty being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events or (3) by Liberty upon written notice to Liberty Media, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

Facilities Sharing Agreement

On September 23, 2011, Liberty entered into a three-year facilities sharing agreement with a subsidiary of Liberty Media, pursuant to which, following the LMC Split-Off, Liberty shares office facilities with Liberty Media located at 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado. Liberty will pay

146

Table of Contents

a sharing fee for use of the office based on a comparable fair market rental rate and an estimate of the usage of the office facilities by or on behalf of Liberty. We have paid Liberty Media for fees and reimbursable expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 under the facilities sharing agreement of approximately $328,000. The facilities sharing agreement will continue in effect until the close of business on the third anniversary of the LMC Split-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) by Liberty at any time on at least 30 days' prior written notice, (2) by Liberty Media upon written notice to Liberty following a default by Liberty of any of its material obligations under the facilities sharing agreement, which default remains unremedied for 30 days after written notice of such default is provided, (3) by Liberty upon written notice to Liberty Media, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events or (4) by Liberty Media upon written notice to Liberty, following certain changes in control of Liberty or Liberty being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

Aircraft Time Sharing Agreements

On September 23, 2011, Liberty Media entered into an aircraft time sharing agreement with Liberty for each of two aircraft, the ownership of which was transferred to Liberty Media in connection with the LMC Split-Off. Each aircraft time sharing agreement will provide that Liberty Media will lease the aircraft to Lessee and provide a fully qualified flight crew for all operations on a periodic, non-exclusive time sharing basis. Liberty will pay Liberty Media an amount equal to 200% of the actual expenses for fuel for each flight conducted under each aircraft time sharing agreement. We have paid Liberty Media for fees and reimbursable expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 under the aircraft sharing agreements of approximately $51,700 (calculated pursuant to the aircraft time sharing agreements). The aircraft time sharing agreements will continue in effect until the close of business on the first anniversary of the LMC Split-Off, and then will be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis, unless terminated earlier by either party upon at least 30 days' prior written notice.

Tax Sharing Agreement

On September 23, 2011, Liberty Media, Liberty and Liberty LLC entered into a tax sharing agreement, which generally allocates taxes, tax benefits, tax items, and tax-related losses between Liberty and Liberty Media in a manner consistent with the tax sharing policies of Liberty in effect prior to the LMC Split-Off, with taxes, tax benefits, tax items, and tax-related losses attributable to the assets, liabilities and activities of Liberty's former Interactive Group being allocated to Liberty and taxes, tax benefits, tax items, and tax-related losses attributable to the assets, liabilities and activities of Liberty's former Capital Group and Starz Group being allocated to Liberty Media. In addition, the tax sharing agreement includes specific rules, not addressed by the Liberty tax sharing policies, related to the manner in which any taxes or tax-related losses arising from the LMC Split-Off or the issuance of Liberty Media's Liberty Capital common stock and Liberty Starz common stock in connection with the LMC Split-Off will be allocated between the parties and provides restrictive covenants intended to preserve the tax-free treatment of the LMC Split-Off and prior transactions that were effected by Liberty and its subsidiaries. The failure by a party to comply with its restrictive covenants may change the general allocation of taxes, tax benefits, tax items, or tax-related losses between the parties related to those transactions. The tax sharing agreement also provides for the agreements between the parties related to the filing of tax returns, control of tax audits, cooperation on tax matters, retention of tax records, indemnification, and other tax matters.

The parties must indemnify each other for taxes and losses allocated to them under the tax sharing agreement and for taxes and losses arising from a breach by them of their respective covenants and obligations under the tax sharing agreement. Liberty also assigns its indemnification payment and related rights under its tax sharing agreement with Liberty Entertainment, Inc., its former subsidiary,

147

Table of Contents

and its tax matters agreement with News Corporation to Liberty Media to the extent those rights relate to taxes or losses allocated to Liberty Media under the tax sharing agreement that Liberty Media has paid. In addition, Liberty LLC assigns all of its indemnification payment and related rights under its tax sharing agreement with, among others, AT&T and its tax sharing agreements with each of DHC and LMI to Liberty Media with respect to any liability for taxes, tax items, losses or payments allocated to Liberty Media under the tax sharing agreement that Liberty Media has paid.

These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Split-Off Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.8 to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Liberty Media's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on September 23, 2011.

ANNEX A: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

Though our ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, we are primarily engaged in the video and online commerce industries. We operate in North America, Europe and Asia. If the recapitalization and distribution are completed, we will have two tracking stocks: the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock, whose terms are intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively. Set forth in this section is a description of the businesses to be attributed to each of our two groups immediately following the recapitalization and distribution. Our board of directors may change the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to each tracking stock group at any time in accordance with our management and allocation policies. Although we have described these businesses separately for purposes of establishing our tracking stock structure and in order to give you a better understanding of the assets attributed to each group, the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are not separate legal entities and the holders of each tracking stock are common stockholders of our company as a whole. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will not have any legal rights related to specific assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group.

The Interactive Group

The Interactive Group is focused on video and online commerce through our operating subsidiaries. The strategy for the Interactive Group is to grow its existing business organically and use the cash flow of its attributed businesses to make acquisitions that complement those businesses. Set forth below is a description of the businesses and assets that we attribute to the Interactive Group.

QVC, Inc.

QVC, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the U.S. and several foreign countries primarily through live televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its U.S. and international websites. QVC programming is divided into segments that are televised live with a host who presents the merchandise, sometimes with the assistance of a guest who is knowledgeable about the merchandise, and conveys information relating to the product to QVC's viewers. QVC's websites offer a complement to televised shopping by allowing consumers to purchase a wide assortment of goods that were previously offered on the QVC television programs, as well as other items that are available from QVC only via its websites. For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 37% of QVC's U.S. revenue and approximately 31% of QVC's total revenue were generated from sales of merchandise ordered through its various websites and mobile applications.

QVC offers a variety of merchandise at competitive prices. QVC purchases, or obtains on consignment, products from domestic and foreign manufacturers and wholesalers, often on favorable terms based upon the volume of the transactions. QVC classifies its merchandise into four groups: home (including electronics), apparel, accessories (including beauty products) and jewelry. For the year ended December 31, 2011, home, apparel, accessories and jewelry accounted for approximately 55%, 12%, 23% and 10%, respectively, of QVC's total gross revenue. In 2010, such percentages for home, apparel, accessories and jewelry were 44%, 17%, 26% and 13%, respectively. QVC offers products in each of these merchandise groups that are exclusive to QVC, as well as popular brand names and other products also available from other retailers. QVC's products are often endorsed by celebrities, designers and other well known personalities who often join QVC's hosts to personally promote their products. QVC does not depend on any single supplier or designer for a significant portion of its inventory.

QVC distributes its television programs, via satellite or optical fiber, to multichannel television distributors for retransmission to subscribers in the U.S, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy

and neighboring countries that receive QVC's programming signals. In the U.S., QVC uplinks its analog and digital programming transmissions using a third-party service. Both transmissions are uplinked to protected, non-preemptible transponders on U.S. satellites. "Protected" status means that, in the event of a transponder failure, QVC's signal will be transferred to a spare transponder or, if none is available, to a preemptible transponder located on the same satellite or, in certain cases, to a transponder on another satellite owned by the same service provider if one is available at the time of the failure. "Non-preemptible" status means that, in the event of a transponder failure, QVC's transponders cannot be preempted in favor of a user of a failed transponder, even another user with "protected status." QVC's international business units each obtain uplinking services from third parties and transmit their programming to non-preemptible transponders on four international satellites. QVC's transponder service agreement for its U.S. transponders expires at the end of the lives of the satellites, which are currently estimated to be in 2019. QVC's transponder service agreements for its international transponders expire in 2012 through 2022.

QVC enters into long-term affiliation agreements with certain of its multichannel television distributors who downlink QVC's programming and distribute the programming to their customers. QVC's affiliation agreements with these distributors have termination dates ranging from 2012 to 2019. QVC's ability to continue to sell products to its customers is dependent on its ability to maintain and renew these affiliation agreements in the future. In this regard, QVC's September 2003 affiliation agreement with Comcast Corporation, which accounts for approximately 25% of QVC's U.S. distribution, was amended and extended in June 2009. The amendment to the agreement allows for quarterly extensions in perpetuity.

In return for carrying the QVC signals, each programming distributor in the U.S. receives an allocated portion, based upon market share, of up to 5% of the net sales of merchandise sold via the television programs to customers located in the programming distributor's service areas. In the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Italy programming distributors receive an agreed-upon annual fee, a monthly fee per subscriber regardless of the net sales or a variable percentage of net sales. In addition to sales-based commissions or per-subscriber fees, QVC also makes payments to distributors in the U.S. for carriage and to secure favorable positioning on channel 35 or below or in the general entertainment area on the distributor's channel line-up. QVC believes that a portion of its sales are attributable to purchases resulting from channel "surfing" and that a channel position near broadcast networks and more popular cable networks increases the likelihood of such purchases. As technology evolves, QVC continues to monitor optimal channel placement and attempts to negotiate agreements with its distributors to maximize the viewership of its television programming.

QVC's shopping program is telecast live 24 hours a day to approximately 100 million homes in the U.S. QVC shopping channel reaches approximately 24 million households in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and is broadcast 24 hours a day with 17 hours of live programming. QVC's shopping network in Germany reaches approximately 40 million households throughout Germany and Austria and is broadcast live 24 hours a day. QVC Japan, QVC's joint venture with Mitsui & Co., LTD, reaches approximately 26 million households and is broadcast live 24 hours a day. QVC's shopping network in Italy reaches approximately 20 million households and is broadcast live 17 hours a day on satellite and public television and an additional 7 hours a day of taped programming on satellite television. QVC strives to maintain promptness and efficiency in order taking and fulfillment. QVC has three U.S. phone centers, one phone center in each of the United Kingdom, Japan and Italy and two call centers in Germany. QVC's U.S. phone centers can direct calls from one call center to another as volume mandates, which reduces a caller's hold time, helping to ensure that orders will not be lost as a result of abandoned or unanswered calls. Each market, except Italy, also utilizes home agents allowing staffing flexibility for peak hours. QVC additionally utilizes computerized voice response units, which handle approximately 34% of all orders taken.

In addition to taking orders from its customers through phone centers and online, QVC continues to explore new ordering technologies. For example, QVC's United Kingdom customers can order products directly through a television remote control "buy button." QVC is also expanding mobile phone ordering capabilities in the U.S., United Kingdom and Germany including text to order, a WAP (wireless application protocol) website and marketing alerts. On a global basis, customers have placed approximately 6% of all orders directly through their mobile devices in 2011. QVC has eight distribution centers worldwide and is able to ship approximately 89% of its orders within 48 hours.

QVC.com ranked above the standard of excellence in internet retailer customer satisfaction according to the Forsee 2011 Holiday E-Retail Satisfaction Index. In the seven year history of the index, QVC.com has consistently ranked as a top 5 internet retailer in terms of customer service, which is a leading indicator of increased consumer spending, loyalty, and positive word-of-mouth recommendations. For the fourth year in a row, QVC secured a top ten spot in the NRF Foundation/American Express Customers' Choice survey. The survey gauges consumer attitudes toward retailers' customer service, promotes best practices in customer service and recognizes retailers providing excellent customer service. In April 2011, as well as the July 2011 Consumer Reports Magazine and the Consumer Reports Buying Guide 2011, Consumer Reports readers named QVC sixth Best Website for Computer Retailers.

QVC's business is seasonal due to a higher volume of sales in the fourth calendar quarter related to year-end holiday shopping. In recent years, QVC has earned between 22% and 23% of its global revenue in each of the first three quarters of the year and 32% of its global revenue in the fourth quarter of the year.

HSN, Inc.

HSN became a public company in August 2008 in connection with the separation of IAC/InterActiveCorp into five separate companies. HSN is an interactive multi-channel retailer with strong direct-to-consumer expertise among its two operating segments, HSN and Cornerstone Brands. HSN offers innovative, differentiated retail experiences on TV, online, in catalogs, and in brick and mortar stores. HSN ships 50 million items and handles 50 million inbound customer calls annually. HSN now reaches over 90 million homes (broadcast live 24 hours a day, seven days a week).

We have entered into an agreement with HSN pursuant to which, among other things, we have the right to nominate 20% of the members of HSN's board of directors for so long as we beneficially own at least 20% of the outstanding voting power of HSN. We have nominated two of the current nine board members.

Provide Commerce, Inc.

Provide Commerce, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary that we acquired in February 2006, operates an e-commerce marketplace of websites that offers high-quality perishable products direct from suppliers to consumers. In addition to its perishable products, Provide Commerce sells a wide range of unique and personalized gifts through its RedEnvelope and Personal Creations brands, which it acquired in 2008 and 2010, respectively. Provide Commerce combines an online storefront, proprietary supply chain management technology, established supplier relationships and integrated logistical relationships with FedEx Corporation and United Parcel Service, Inc. to create a market platform that bypasses

Table of Contents

traditional supply chains of wholesalers, distributors and retailers. Provide Commerce derives its revenue from the sale of flowers and plants on its proflowers.com and proplants.com websites and from the sale of gourmet foods from its branded websites: Cherry Moon Farms, for fresh premium fruits; Shari's Berries, for chocolate-dipped berries and related gifting products; and from the sale of gifts on RedEnvelope and Personal Creations.

Provide Commerce initially launched its marketplace to sell and deliver flowers which continues to be its most significant product. Provide Commerce later expanded its offerings to include fresh premium fruits and confections and unique personalized gifts. Provide Commerce's business is highly seasonal due largely to purchases of flowers and other gifts for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. In 2011, Provide Commerce earned approximately 62% of its revenue in the first half of the year. Provide Commerce depends on three suppliers for approximately 63% of its floral products. The loss of any of these suppliers could adversely impact Provide Commerce.

Provide Commerce believes that one of the keys to its success is its ability to timely deliver products, and perishable products fresher, than its competitors thereby providing a better value for its customers. Provide Commerce maintains a customer service center located at its corporate headquarters to respond to customer phone calls and emails 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Backcountry.com, Inc.

We acquired 81% of the equity of Backcountry.com, Inc. in June 2007, increasing our ownership to 87.5% through share purchases in 2011.

Five of the sites offer name-brand products at retail prices, one closeout site and four other sites offer substantial discounts to online shoppers on a one-deal-at-a-time basis.

Backcountry's primary site, Backcountry.com, offers over 500 brands and over 60,000 items of high-end gear and clothing for backpacking, camping, trail running, skiing, rock climbing, kayaking and other outdoor sports.

HucknRoll.com, CompetitiveCyclist.com and RealCyclist.com sell mountain bikes and road bikes, respectively, at retail prices.

Backcountry's one-deal-at-a-time sites, SteepandCheap.com, WhiskeyMilitia.com, Chainlove.com and BonkTown.com, feature a limited quantity of one highly discounted item at a time until such item sells out or times out, at which time it is immediately replaced with a new item. SteepandCheap.com serves backcountry adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. WhiskeyMilitia.com appeals to skateboarders, surfers, snowboarders and wakeboarders. Chainlove.com is geared toward mountain bikers. BonkTown.com sells road bike gear.

Backcountry's business is seasonal, with approximately 40% of its revenue earned in the fourth quarter.

Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC

Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC. (Celebrate) is a wholly-owned subsidiary that owns and operates BuyCostumes.com, the Celebrate Express family of websites, Evite and Gifts.com. Celebrate, an internet celebrations leader, provides a more streamlined party offering by giving individuals the resources necessary to plan, execute and attend a wide variety of celebrations and costuming events. These resources include event planning services, which are free to Evite customers as revenue is driven primarily through online advertising, party supplies primarily through the Celebrate Express brands, including an offering of proprietary product from exclusive license agreements, costumes for a wide variety of occasions (the primary occasion is Halloween) and a search engine for gifts of any occasion. While over 70% of the costume and accessory products offered on our website are also available from other on-line and traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, Celebrate believes that no other single retailer offers the range of costume and party supplies that Celebrate offers to its customers. Celebrate purchases its products from various suppliers, both domestic and international. Celebrate depends on three suppliers for approximately 33% of its costumes, accessories, and party supplies. The loss of any of these suppliers could adversely impact Celebrate.

Celebrate believes that it has a competitive advantage due to the combination of a large assortment of on-line products, value pricing and a high level of customer service. Celebrate's business is highly seasonal with over 50% of its revenue earned from the sale of costumes in September and October leading up to Halloween. Since the acquisition of Celebrate Express in 2008, Celebrate has seen the seasonality decrease due to significantly higher sales of birthday party supplies which is a less seasonal business. Additionally, with the acquisition of Evite and Gifts.com it is anticipated that seasonality will continue to decrease slightly as these businesses are integrated into Celebrate's operations. Celebrate maintains a customer service center at its corporate headquarters, and customer service representatives are available 18 hours a day, seven days a week during its busy season to respond to customer questions. The customer service center and warehouse staffing is scalable, and Celebrate employs seasonal labor to react to higher volume during the peak Halloween season.

Regulatory Matters

Programming and Interactive Television Services

In the United States, the FCC regulates broadcasters, the providers of satellite communications services and facilities for the transmission of programming services, the cable television systems and other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) that distribute such services, and, to some extent, the availability of the programming services themselves through its regulation of program licensing. Cable television systems in the United States are also regulated by municipalities or other state and local government authorities. Cable television systems are currently subject to federal rate regulation on the provision of basic service, except where subject to effective competition under FCC rules, which has become increasingly widespread. Continued rate regulation or other franchise conditions could place downward pressure on the fees cable television companies are willing or able to pay for programming services in which we have interests. Regulatory carriage requirements also could adversely affect the number of channels available to carry the programming services in which we have an interest.

Regulation of Program Licensing. The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the 1992 Cable Act) directed the FCC to promulgate regulations regarding the sale and acquisition of cable programming between MVPDs (including cable operators) and satellite-delivered programming services in which a cable operator has an attributable interest. The legislation and the implementing regulations adopted by the FCC preclude virtually all exclusive programming contracts between cable operators and satellite programmers affiliated with any cable operator (unless the FCC

A-8

Table of Contents

first determines that the contract serves the public interest) and generally prohibit a cable operator that has an attributable interest in a satellite programmer from improperly influencing the terms and conditions of sale to unaffiliated MVPDs. Further, the 1992 Cable Act requires that such affiliated programmers make their programming services available to cable operators and competing MVPDs such as multi-channel multi-point distribution systems, which we refer to as MMDS, and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) distributors on terms and conditions that do not unfairly discriminate among distributors. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 extended these rules to programming services in which telephone companies and other common carriers have attributable ownership interests. The FCC revised its program licensing rules by implementing a damages remedy in situations where the defendant knowingly violates the regulations and by establishing a timeline for the resolution of complaints, among other things. In 2007, the FCC extended the prohibition on exclusive programming contracts until 2012 and amended the program access complaint rules. The FCC initiated a rulemaking proceeding in March 2012 regarding the further extension of the exclusive programming contracts prohibition. In 2010, the FCC revised the program access rules to permit complainants to pursue program access claims involving terrestrially-delivered, cable-affiliated programming similar to the claims that they may pursue regarding satellite-delivered, cable-affiliated programming, where the purpose or the effect of a challenged act is to hinder significantly or prevent a complainant from providing satellite cable programming or satellite broadcast programming. Although we no longer own Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico, LLC (LCPR), FCC rules continue to attribute an ownership interest in LCPR to us, thereby subjecting us and satellite-delivered programming services in which we have an interest to the program access rules. As explained below in "Other Regulation," we are also subject to the program access rules as a condition of FCC approval of our transaction with News Corporation in 2008.

Regulation of Carriage of Programming. Under the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has adopted regulations prohibiting cable operators from requiring a financial interest in a programming service as a condition to carriage of such service, coercing exclusive rights in a programming service or favoring affiliated programmers so as to restrain unreasonably the ability of unaffiliated programmers to compete. In 2011, the FCC revised its program carriage complaint rules by, among other things, specifying what a program carriage complainant must demonstrate to establish a prima facie case of a program carriage violation. The FCC also has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking seeking comment regarding additional revisions to its program carriage complaint procedures.

Regulation of Ownership. The 1992 Cable Act required the FCC, among other things, (1) to prescribe rules and regulations establishing reasonable limits on the number of channels on a cable system that will be allowed to carry programming in which the owner of such cable system has an attributable interest and (2) to consider the necessity and appropriateness of imposing limitations on the degree to which MVPDs (including cable operators) may engage in the creation or production of video programming. In 1993, the FCC adopted regulations limiting carriage by a cable operator of national programming services in which that operator holds an attributable interest. However, in 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (District of Columbia Circuit) found that the FCC had failed to justify adequately the channel occupancy limit, vacated the FCC's decision and remanded the rule to the FCC for further consideration. In response to the Court's decision, the FCC issued further notices of proposed rulemaking in 2001 and in 2005 to consider channel occupancy limitations. Even if these rules were readopted by the FCC, they would have little impact on programming companies in which we have interests based upon our current attributable ownership interests in cable systems. In its 2001 decision, the Court of Appeals also vacated the FCC's rule imposing a thirty percent limit on the number of subscribers served by systems nationwide in which a multiple system operator can have an attributable ownership interest. After conducting a further rulemaking regarding this ownership limitation, in 2007, the FCC again adopted a thirty percent limit on the number of subscribers served by a cable operator nationwide. However, in 2009, the Court of Appeals again vacated the thirty percent limit.

Regulation of Carriage of Broadcast Stations. The 1992 Cable Act granted broadcasters a choice of must carry rights or retransmission consent rights. The rules adopted by the FCC generally provided for mandatory carriage by cable systems of all local full-power commercial television broadcast signals selecting must carry rights and, depending on a cable system's channel capacity, non-commercial television broadcast signals. Such statutorily mandated carriage of broadcast stations coupled with the provisions of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, which require cable television systems with 36 or more "activated" channels to reserve a percentage of such channels for commercial use by unaffiliated third parties and permit franchise authorities to require the cable operator to provide channel capacity, equipment and facilities for public, educational and government access channels, could adversely affect some or substantially all of the programming services in which we have interests by limiting the carriage of such services in cable systems with limited channel capacity. In 2007, the FCC adopted an order addressing cable operators' obligations to ensure that local broadcasters' primary video and program-related material are viewable by all subscribers following completion of the digital transition. The FCC's order allows cable operators to comply with the viewability requirements by carrying a broadcaster's digital signal in either analog format or digital format, provided that all subscribers have the necessary equipment to view the broadcast content. The FCC initiated a rulemaking proceeding in February 2012 to consider the extension of the viewability requirements, which are scheduled to expire on June 12, 2012.

Closed Captioning and Video Description Regulation. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 also required the FCC to establish rules and an implementation schedule to ensure that video programming is fully accessible to the hearing impaired through closed captioning. The rules adopted by the FCC require substantial closed captioning, with only limited exemptions. On January 12, 2012, the FCC adopted regulations pursuant to the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) that require, among other things, video programming owners to send caption files for Internet protocol (IP) delivered video programming to video programming distributors and providers along with program files. The IP delivered programming captioning requirements will be implemented over a four year period following Federal Register publication of the new rules, which occurred on March 30, 2012. As a result, the programming companies in which we have interests may incur additional costs for closed captioning.

The CVAA also required the FCC to reinstate the video description rules adopted by the FCC in 2000 but subsequently vacated by the District of Columbia Circuit. On August 24, 2011, the FCC adopted a report and order reinstating the requirements as to certain broadcast affiliates and cable programming services. The programming companies in which we have attributable interests are unaffected by these rules.

A-La-Carte Proceeding. In 2004, the FCC's Media Bureau conducted a notice of inquiry proceeding regarding the feasibility of selling video programming services "à-la-carte," i.e. on an individual or small tier basis. The Media Bureau released a report in 2004, which concluded that à-la-carte sales of video programming services would not result in lower video programming costs for most consumers and that they would adversely affect video programming networks. In 2006, the Media Bureau released a new report which stated that the 2004 report was flawed and which concluded that à-la-carte sales could be in the best interests of consumers. Although the FCC's authority to mandate à-la-carte sales has been questioned, its endorsement of the concept could encourage Congress to consider proposals to mandate à-la-carte sales or otherwise seek to impose greater regulatory controls on how programming is sold by MVPDs. The programming companies whose services are distributed in tiers or packages of programming services would experience decreased distribution if à-la-carte carriage were mandated.

Copyright Regulation. The programming companies in which we have interests must obtain any necessary music performance rights from the rights holders. These rights generally are controlled by the

A-10

Table of Contents

music performance rights organizations of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) and the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC), each with rights to the music of various artists.

Satellites and Uplink. In general, authorization from the FCC must be obtained for the construction and operation of a communications satellite. The FCC authorizes utilization of satellite orbital slots assigned to the United States by the World Administrative Radio Conference. Such slots are finite in number, thus limiting the number of carriers that can provide satellite transponders and the number of transponders available for transmission of programming services. At present, however, there are numerous competing satellite service providers that make transponders available for video services to MVPDs. The FCC also regulates the earth stations uplinking to and/or downlinking from such satellites.

Internet Services

The Internet businesses in which we have interests are subject, both directly and indirectly, to various laws and governmental regulations. Certain of our subsidiaries engaged in the provision of goods and services over the Internet must comply with federal and state laws and regulations applicable to online communications and commerce. For example, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act prohibits websites from collecting personally identifiable information online from children under age 13 without parental consent and imposes a number of operational requirements. Certain email activities are subject to the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, commonly known as the CAN-SPAM Act. The CAN-SPAM Act regulates the sending of unsolicited commercial email by requiring the email sender, among other things, to comply with specific disclosure requirements and to provide an "opt-out" mechanism for recipients. Both of these laws include statutory penalties for non-compliance. Various states also have adopted laws regulating certain aspects of Internet communications. In 2007, Congress enacted legislation extending the moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access and commerce until 2014.

Goods sold over the Internet also must comply with traditional regulatory requirements, such as the Federal Trade Commission requirements regarding truthful and accurate claims. To the extent that Bodybuilding.com, for example, markets or sells nutritional or dietary supplements, its activities may be regulated by the United State Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in certain respects. Dietary supplement distributors must comply with FDA regulations regarding supplement labeling and reporting.

Congress and individual states may consider additional online privacy legislation. Other Internet-related laws and regulations enacted in the future may cover issues such as defamatory speech, copyright infringement, pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. The future adoption of such laws or regulations may slow the growth of commercial online services and the Internet, which could in turn cause a decline in the demand for the services and products of the Internet companies in which we have interests and increase such companies' costs of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on their businesses, operating results and financial conditions. Moreover, the applicability to commercial online services and the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel, personal privacy and taxation is uncertain and could expose these companies to substantial liability.

In 2010, the FCC adopted rules in its open Internet proceeding that require all broadband providers to disclose network management practices, restrict broadband providers from blocking Internet content and applications, and prohibit fixed broadband providers from engaging in unreasonable discrimination in transmitting lawful network traffic. The open Internet rules could restrict the ability of broadband providers to block or otherwise disadvantage our Internet businesses.

A-11

Table of Contents

The rules are subject to appeals pending before the United States Court of Appeals and a petition for reconsideration pending at the FCC.

Other Regulation

To the extent that our subsidiaries market through other channels such as television, such efforts are regulated by a range of federal and state laws and regulations. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and FDA regulations may apply to certain claims made regarding products, and FTC regulations such as the Telemarketing Sales Rule may apply to contacts with customers or potential customers.

In June 2010, John C. Malone and DIRECTV completed a transaction that eliminated his and our attributable interests in DIRECTV under FCC rules. However, we remain subject to various conditions adopted by the FCC in approving our 2008 transaction with News Corporation, including program access, non-discrimination and program carriage. We do not believe that compliance with those conditions has any material adverse effect on any of our businesses.

Proposed Changes in Regulation

The regulation of programming services, cable television systems, DBS providers, Internet services, online sales and other forms of product marketing is subject to the political process and has been in constant flux over the past decade. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated and there can be no assurance that our business will not be adversely affected by future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

Competition

Our businesses that engage in video and on-line commerce compete with traditional bricks and mortar and online retailers ranging from large department stores to specialty shops, electronic retailers, direct marketing retailers, such as mail order and catalog companies, and discount retailers. In addition, QVC and HSN compete for access to customers and audience share with other conventional forms of entertainment and content. Provide Commerce competes with online floral providers such as 1-800-FLOWERS and floral wire services such as FTD and Teleflora. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which our electronic commerce businesses compete are high-quality products, freshness, brand recognition, selection, value, convenience, price, website performance, customer service and accuracy of order shipment.

Our businesses that offer services through the Internet compete with businesses that offer their own services directly through the Internet as well as with traditional offline providers of similar services including providers of lending services, travel agencies, operators of destination search sites and search-centric portals, search technology providers, online advertising networks, site aggregation companies, media, telecommunications and cable companies, Internet service providers and niche competitors that focus on a specific category or geography. Expedia also competes with hoteliers and airlines as well as travel planning service providers, including aggregator sites that offer inventory from multiple suppliers, such as airline sites, Orbitz, Travelocity and Priceline, and with American Express and Navigant International, providers of corporate travel services. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which our businesses that offer services through the Internet engage are selection, price, availability of inventory, convenience, brand recognition, accessibility, customer service, reliability, website performance, and ease of use.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, our corporate function is supported by a services agreement with Liberty Media Corporation (LMC) which has 77 corporate employees who are also considered

A-12

Table of Contents

employees of Liberty. Additionally, our consolidated subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately 20,000 full and part-time employees. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Properties

We lease our corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado under a facilities agreement with LMC. All of our other real or personal property is owned or leased by our subsidiaries and business affiliates.

QVC owns its corporate headquarters and operations center in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It also owns call centers in San Antonio, Texas; Port St. Lucie, Florida; Chesapeake, Virginia; Bochum and Kassel, Germany, as well as a call center and warehouse in Knowsley, United Kingdom. QVC owns a distribution center in Hücklehoven, Germany and distribution centers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Suffolk, Virginia; Rocky Mount, North Carolina; Florence, South Carolina and Sakura-shi, Chiba, Japan. To supplement the facilities it owns, QVC also leases various facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Italy for retail outlet stores, office space, warehouse space and call center locations.

Our other subsidiaries and business affiliates own or lease the fixed assets necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, including office space, transponder space, headends, cable television and telecommunications distribution equipment and telecommunications switches. Our management believes that our current facilities are suitable and adequate for our business operations for the foreseeable future.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information

(unaudited)

(1): The Interactive Group will initially comprise our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and Celebrate Interactive Holdings, Inc., and our interest in HSN, Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes the foregoing investments, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of QVC, Provide, Backcountry, Bodybuilding and Celebrate. We have also attributed certain of our subsidiaries' debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the Interactive Group. The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are detailed in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group as described in note 5 below.

The Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Interactive Group.

The Ventures Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group including our interest in equity method investments of Expedia, Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. and available-for-sale securities Time Warner, Time Warner Cable and AOL. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Ventures Group includes these investments. In addition, we have attributed to the Ventures Group all of Liberty Interactive LLC's ("Liberty LLC") exchangeable debentures (and related interest expense). See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Ventures Group.

Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the Interactive Group will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

The accompanying financial information does not reflect an anticipated attribution of cash to the Ventures Group of $1,250 million from the Interactive Group which is expected to occur at the distribution date. A portion of this cash is not currently included on Liberty's consolidated balance sheet as it will be borrowed under QVC's credit facility in connection with the completion of the recapitalization. As a result of Ventures Group not having any attributed cash in any periods prior to the distribution date all cash needs have been funded by the Interactive Group for purposes of these financials and have been included in the financing section of the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows Information. Upon distribution of the Liberty Ventures tracking stock, the Ventures Group will have the cash necessary to fund its own cash needs. Cash related to tax attributes utilized by either group will continue to be reimbursed on a current basis and it is expected that the Ventures Group will receive cash from the Interactive Group for tax attributes associated with the senior exchangeable debentures.

(a): During the fourth quarter of 2011 Expedia, Inc. completed the pro-rata split-off of TripAdvisor, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary. As of the TripAdvisor, Inc. split-off date, the Company had a 26% economic ownership interest in each of Expedia, Inc. and TripAdvisor, Inc. and, through ownership of class B common stock with 10 votes per share, had an approximate 58% voting interest in each respective company. Through a stockholders agreement, Liberty has given Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive Officer of both companies, the right to vote all of the common stock owned by Liberty. Through a governance agreement, Liberty has the right to nominate up to 20% of the board members for each entity and currently two members on each company's

10 member board were nominated by Liberty. Through Liberty's board representation, it was determined that the Company has significant influence over each respective company and continues to apply the equity method of accounting as a result. On March 26, 2012, Liberty entered into a forward sale agreement with respect to 12 million shares of Expedia common stock at a per share forward price of $34.316. The forward contract is settleable on or about October 8, 2012 in stock, in the form of a net-share settlement or in cash, at the election of Liberty. Liberty currently retains beneficial ownership of the shares subject to the forward contract, which are pledged to secure its obligations under the forward contract. The carrying value of the shares, held as collateral by the counterparty, was $216 million and the fair value was $348 million as of December 31, 2011.

(4): Debt attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group is comprised of the following:

	December 31, 2011

Total debt	$	6,583		6,039

(a): See note (1) above regarding additional incurrences to be drawn in connection with the closing of the recapitalization.

The attribution of the Liberty LLC debt between the two groups is intended: (i) in the case of a portion of the Senior Exchangeable Debentures being attributed to the Ventures Group, to match the attribution of the equity securities for which those Senior Exchangeable Debentures are

B-12

(unaudited)

exchangeable; (ii) in the case of the Senior Notes and Debentures being attributed to the Interactive Group, which are not subject to the more complex contingencies and uncertainties applicable to the Senior Exchangeable Debentures, to simplify the attributed capital structure of that group; and (iii) to provide the Ventures Group with a source of cash flow from the Interactive Group expected to be paid in consideration of the tax benefits of the Senior Exchangeable Debentures expected to be used by the Interactive Group.

(5): Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees will be allocated between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group. On an annual basis estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group which would require a timelier reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses are charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology. Amounts allocated, due to their direct nature, from the Interactive Group to the Ventures Group was determined to be $4 million, $3 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We note that stock compensation related to each tracking stock in the future will be calculated based on actual awards outstanding following the completion of the recapitalization and distribution.

While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.

(6): We have accounted for income taxes for the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group in the accompanying attributed financial information in a manner similar to a stand-alone company basis except as impacted by any special allocations as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. To the extent this methodology differs from our tax sharing policy, differences have been reflected as adjustments in the attributed net assets of the groups.

Table of Contents

The following tables present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that are intended to be attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively. The financial information should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 incorporated by reference herein. The attributed financial information presented in the tables has been prepared assuming the Ventures Group had been created as of January 1, 2009 (exclusive of the cash attribution described in note (1)). However this attribution of historical financial information does not purport to be what actual results and balances would have been during such periods if the Ventures Group had actually been created at that date.

Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, our tracking stock capital structure will not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to our assets or responsibility for our liabilities. We and our subsidiaries each continue to be responsible for our respective liabilities. Holders of Liberty Interactive tracking stock and Liberty Ventures tracking stock will be holders of our common stock and continue to be subject to risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. The issuance of Liberty Interactive tracking stock and Liberty Ventures tracking stock does not affect the rights of our creditors.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information

(unaudited)

(1): The Interactive Group will initially comprise our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC and Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC, and our interest in HSN, Inc. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes the foregoing investments, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of those consolidated subsidiaries. We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group, its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the Interactive Group. The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are detailed in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate, general and administrative expenses between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group as described in note 5 below.

The Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce businesses. Accordingly, currently we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the Interactive Group.

The Ventures Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group including our interest in equity method investments of Expedia, Inc., TripAdvisor, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. and available-for-sale securities Time Warner, Time Warner Cable and AOL. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Ventures Group includes these investments. In addition, we have attributed to the Ventures Group all of our senior exchangeable debentures (and related interest expense). See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Ventures Group.

We currently expect that any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the Interactive Group will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

The accompanying financial information does not reflect an anticipated attribution of cash to the Ventures Group of $1,250 million funded by the Interactive Group which is expected to occur at the distribution date. A portion of this cash is not currently included on Liberty's balance sheet as it will be borrowed under QVC's credit facility in connection with the completion of the recapitalization. As a result of Ventures Group not having any attributed cash in any periods prior to the distribution date all cash needs have been funded by the Interactive Group for purposes of these financials and have been included in the financing section of the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows Information. Upon distribution of the Liberty Ventures tracking stock, the Ventures Group will have the cash necessary to fund its own cash needs. Cash related to tax attributes utilized by either group will continue to be reimbursed on a current basis and it is expected that the Ventures Group will receive cash from the Interactive Group for tax attributes associated with the senior exchangeable debentures.

(a): During the fourth quarter of 2011 Expedia, Inc. completed the pro-rata split-off of TripAdvisor, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary. As of the TripAdvisor, Inc. split-off date, the Company had a 26% economic ownership interest in each of Expedia, Inc. and TripAdvisor, Inc. and, through ownership of class B common stock with 10 votes per share, had an approximate 58% voting interest in each respective company. Through a stockholders agreement, Liberty has given Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive Officer of both companies, the right to vote all of the common stock owned by Liberty. Through a governance agreement, Liberty has the right to nominate up to 20% of the

board members for each entity and currently two members on each company's 10 member board were nominated by Liberty. Through Liberty's board representation, it was determined that the Company has significant influence over each respective company and continues to apply the equity method of accounting as a result.

(b): Liberty entered into a forward sales contract on 12 million shares of Expedia common stock in March 2012 at a per share forward price of $34.316. The forward contract is settleable in October 2012 in stock, net-share settlement or cash, at the election of Liberty. Liberty delivered 12 million shares of Expedia as collateral under the forward contract. The carrying value of the shares, held as collateral by the counterparty, was $214 million and the fair value was $401 million as of March 31, 2012.
(c): In May 2012, Liberty sold approximately 8.5 million shares of TripAdvisor, Inc. for cash proceeds of $338 million. As TripAdvisor is attributed to the Ventures Group, the proceeds will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

(4): Debt attributed to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group is comprised of the following:

(unaudited)

The attribution of the Liberty LLC debt between the two groups is intended: (i) in the case of a portion of the Senior Exchangeable Debentures being attributed to the Ventures Group, to match the attribution of the equity securities for which those Senior Exchangeable Debentures are exchangeable; (ii) in the case of the Senior Notes and Debentures being attributed to the Interactive Group, which are not subject to the more complex contingencies and uncertainties applicable to the Senior Exchangeable Debentures, to simplify the attributed capital structure of that group; and (iii) to provide the Ventures Group with a source of cash flow from the Interactive Group expected to be paid in consideration of the tax benefits of the Senior Exchangeable Debentures expected to be used by the Interactive Group.

(5): Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees will be allocated between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group. On an annual basis estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group which would require a timelier reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses will be charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology. Amounts allocated, due to their direct nature, from the Interactive Group to the Ventures Group was determined to be $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We note that stock compensation related to each tracking stock will be calculated based on actual awards outstanding following the completion of the recapitalization and distribution.

While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.
(6): The Liberty Interactive tracking stock and the Liberty Ventures tracking stock will have voting and conversion rights under our restated charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group will be entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Series B common stock of each group will be entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group, if issued, will be entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of all series of our common stock will vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive Stock or the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures Stock.

At the option of the holder, each share of Series B tracking stock will be convertible into one share of the corresponding Series A tracking stock. At the discretion of our board, the common stock related to one group may be converted into common stock of the same series that is related to the other group.

The Corporation will not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of a certificate or certificates representing any shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock so converted were registered and no such issue or delivery will be made unless and until the person requesting the same has paid to the Corporation or its transfer agent the amount of any such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation or its transfer agent that such tax has been paid.

The aggregate number of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary to be delivered (the "Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities") in redemption of the Interactive Group Redemption Shares will be equal to: (A) if the Board of Directors makes a Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Election as described below, the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the product of (I) the number of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary owned by the Corporation and (II) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Corporation's equity interest in the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation's equity interest in the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Interactive Group (such product, the "Distributable Interactive Group

Subsidiary Securities"), by (y) the Interactive Group Outstanding Interest Fraction, in each case, as of the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date, or (B) if the Board of Directors does not make a Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, all of the Distributable Interactive Group Subsidiary Securities, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided below. The number of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary to be delivered in redemption of each Interactive Group Redemption Share will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the number of Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, by (y) the number of Interactive Group Redemption Shares.

If the Interactive Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one (1) on the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date for any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) and if (but only if) the Board of Directors so determines in its discretion (a "Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Election"), then concurrently with the distribution of the Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities in redemption of Interactive Group Redemption Shares, the Corporation will attribute to the Ventures Group an aggregate number of Distributable Interactive Group Subsidiary Securities (the "Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities") equal to the difference between the total number of Distributable Interactive Group Subsidiary Securities and the number of Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, subject to adjustment as provided below. If a Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Election is made, then: (I) the Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) of the definition of "Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest" in paragraph (i) of this Section A.2.; (II) the attribution of Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be made to the Ventures Group may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to the Ventures Group; and (III) the Board of Directors may determine that the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities so allocated or transferred to the Ventures Group will be distributed to holders of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(ii)(C) of this Section A.2.

If at the time of a redemption of Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock that would become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Distributable Interactive Group Subsidiary Securities as a result of such redemption, and the obligation to deliver securities of such Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities is not assumed or otherwise provided for by the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary, then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments as it determines to be appropriate to the number of Interactive Group Redemption Shares, the number of Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities and the number of Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities (and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest) to take into account the securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable.

In the event that not all outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock are to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (e)(i) for Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, then (1) the number of shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (e)(i) will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Interactive Group Redemption Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of such series and the denominator of which is the aggregate number

C-16

Table of Contents

of shares of all series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, in each case, outstanding as of the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date, and (2) the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (e)(i) will be redeemed by the Corporation pro rata among the holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock or by such other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be equitable.

To the extent that a Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary to be distributed pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) also holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to the Ventures Group, then (x) such Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary will also be deemed a Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (f)(i) and (y) in connection with the redemption of Interactive Group Redemption Shares pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) the Corporation will also redeem shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (f)(i), subject to the Corporation obtaining the Interactive Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and the Ventures Group Redemption Stockholder Approval. In connection with any such redemption of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock, the Board of Directors will effect such redemption in accordance with the terms of paragraphs (e)(i) and (f)(i), as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, with such changes and adjustments as the Board of Directors determines are reasonably necessary in order to effect such redemption in exchange for securities of a single Subsidiary holding the assets and liabilities of more than one Group. In effecting such redemption, the Board of Directors may determine to redeem the Interactive Group Redemption Shares and the Ventures Group Redemption Shares in exchange for one or more classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, for separate classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, (I) with the holders of Interactive Group Redemption Shares to receive Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Interactive Group held by such Subsidiary and (II) with holders of Ventures Group Redemption Shares to receive Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Ventures Group held by such Subsidiary, subject, in each case, to the applicable limitations on the class and series of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary set forth in the last paragraph of paragraphs (e)(i) and (f)(i).

Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i) will occur on a Interactive Group Redemption Date set forth in a notice to holders of Liberty Interactive Common Stock (and Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock (unless provision for notice is otherwise made pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities)) pursuant to paragraph (e)(iv)(C).

In effecting a redemption of Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i), the Board of Directors may determine either to (x) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in exchange for a single class or series of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary without distinction among series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, on an equal per share basis, (y) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in exchange for separate classes or series of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary, on an equal per share basis, or (z) redeem shares of one or more series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in exchange for a separate class or series of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary and, on an equal per share basis, redeem shares of all other series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in exchange for a different class or series of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary; provided, that, in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share

distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Interactive Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Interactive Common Stock, and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock in such redemption consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock. If the Board of Directors has made a Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, then the determination as to the classes or series of securities of the Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary comprising the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be so transferred or allocated to the Ventures Group will be made by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

(ii) Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of Interactive Group Disposition. In the event of a Interactive Group Disposition (other than an Exempt Interactive Group Disposition), the Corporation will, on or prior to the 120th Trading Day following the consummation of such Interactive Group Disposition and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section A.2., take the actions referred to in one of clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as elected by the Board of Directors:

(A) Subject to the first sentence of paragraph (c)(i) of this Section A.2. the Corporation may declare and pay a dividend payable in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, to the holders of outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Interactive Group Disposition as of the record date for determining the holders entitled to receive such dividend, as the same may be determined by the Board of Directors, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(i) and (d)(i) of this Section A.2.; or

(B) Provided that there are assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and the Interactive Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph (e)(ii) in lieu of effecting the redemption provided for in this clause (B), then:

(I) if such Interactive Group Disposition involves all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Interactive Group, the Corporation may redeem all outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Interactive Group Allocable Net

Table of Contents

Proceeds of such Interactive Group Disposition as of the Interactive Group Redemption Date, as determined by the Board of Directors, such aggregate amount to be allocated among the shares of all series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock outstanding as of the Interactive Group Redemption Date on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)); or

(II) if such Interactive Group Disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Interactive Group, the Corporation may apply an aggregate amount (subject to adjustment as provided below) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with a Fair Value equal to the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Interactive Group Disposition as of the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date (the "Interactive Group Redemption Amount") to the redemption of outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, such Interactive Group Redemption Amount to be allocated (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)) to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in the ratio of (x) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date to (y) the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock outstanding as of such date, and the number of shares of each such series to be redeemed will equal the lesser of (1) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date and (2) the whole number nearest the number obtained by dividing the aggregate amount so allocated to the redemption of such series by the Average Market Value of the Liberty Interactive Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Interactive Group Disposition; provided that, if following the foregoing allocation there remains any amount of the Interactive Group Redemption Amount which is not being applied to the redemption of shares of a series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, then such excess amount will be allocated to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock that, following the initial allocation referred to above, would have shares outstanding and not redeemed, with the number of outstanding and not redeemed shares to be redeemed from each such series to be calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentence based upon such excess amount of the Interactive Group Redemption Amount. The outstanding shares of a series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis among the holders of such series or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable; or

(C) The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Interactive Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty Ventures Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty Interactive Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty Ventures Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Interactive Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Interactive Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Ventures Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

(D) The Corporation may combine the conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock into Liberty Ventures Common Stock as contemplated by clause (C) of this paragraph (e)(ii) with the payment of a dividend on or the redemption of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock as described below, subject to the limitations specified in clause (A) (in the case of a dividend) or clause (B) (in the case of a redemption) of this paragraph (e)(ii) (including the limitations specified in other paragraphs of this Certificate referred to therein). In the event the Board of Directors elects the option described in this clause (D), the portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock will be determined by the Board of Directors and will be so converted at the conversion rate determined in accordance with clause (C) above and the Corporation will either (x) pay a dividend to the holders of record of all of the remaining shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock outstanding, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(i) and (d)(i) of this Section A.2., or (y) redeem all or a portion of such remaining shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend, in the case of a dividend, or the portion of the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption, in the case of a redemption, will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (I) an amount equal to the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Interactive Group Disposition as of, in the case of a dividend, the record date for determining the holders of Liberty Interactive Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend and, in the case of a redemption, the Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date (in the case of a partial redemption) or the Interactive Group Redemption Date (in the case of a full redemption), in each case, before giving effect to the conversion of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in connection with such Interactive Group Disposition in accordance with this clause (D) and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest, by (II) one minus a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be converted into shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in accordance with this clause (D) and the denominator of which will be the aggregate number of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock outstanding as of the record date, Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date used for purposes of clause (I) of this sentence. In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, if the Interactive Group Disposition was of all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Interactive Group, then all remaining outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the portion of the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption determined in accordance with this clause (D), such aggregate amount to be allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)). In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, if the Interactive Group Disposition was of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Interactive Group, then the number of shares of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be redeemed will be determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) of this paragraph (e)(ii), substituting for the Interactive Group Redemption Amount referred to therein the portion of the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with this clause (D), and such shares will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such portion of the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds and allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an

C-20

Table of Contents

equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (e)(ii)). The aggregate number of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock to be converted in any partial conversion in accordance with this clause (D) will be allocated among the series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in the ratio of the number of shares of each such series outstanding to the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock outstanding as of the Interactive Group Conversion Selection Date, and the shares of each such series to be converted will be selected on a pro rata basis or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable. In the case of a redemption, the allocation of the cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) and/or other assets to be paid in redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the selection of shares to be redeemed will be made in the manner contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (e)(ii).

For purposes of this paragraph (e)(ii):

(1) as of any date, "substantially all of the assets of the Interactive Group" means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-Fair Value of the assets of the Interactive Group as of such date;

(2) in the case of a Interactive Group Disposition of assets in a series of related transactions, such Interactive Group Disposition will not be deemed to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such transactions;

(3) if the Board of Directors seeks the approval of the holders of Liberty Interactive Voting Securities entitled to vote thereon to qualify a Interactive Group Disposition as an Exempt Interactive Group Disposition and such approval is not obtained, the date on which such approval fails to be obtained will be treated as the date on which such Interactive Group Disposition was consummated for purposes of making the determinations and taking the actions prescribed by this paragraph (e)(ii) and paragraph (e)(iv), and no subsequent vote may be taken to qualify such Interactive Group Disposition as an Exempt Interactive Group Disposition;

(4) in the event of a redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to clause (B)(II) or (D) of this paragraph (e)(ii) at a time when the Interactive Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one, if the Board of Directors so elects (a "Interactive Group Inter-Group Partial Redemption Election"), in its discretion, the Corporation will attribute to the Ventures Group concurrently with such redemption an aggregate amount (the "Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount") of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as described below, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the difference between (x) the Interactive Group Net Proceeds and (y) the portion of the Interactive Group Allocable Net Proceeds applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) or clause (D) of this paragraph (e)(ii). If the Board of Directors makes such election, the Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased in the manner described in subparagraph (ii)(E) of the definition of "Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest" in paragraph (i) of this Section A.2. The Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation to the Ventures Group or by a direct transfer to the Ventures Group of cash, securities and/or other assets;

(5) if at the time of a Interactive Group Disposition subject to this paragraph (e)(ii), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock that would give the holders thereof the right to receive any consideration related to such Interactive Group Disposition upon conversion, exercise or exchange or otherwise, or would adjust to give the holders equivalent economic rights, as a result of any dividend, redemption or other action taken by the Corporation with respect to the

C-21

Table of Contents

Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (e)(ii), then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments to (x) the amount of consideration to be issued or delivered as contemplated by this paragraph (e)(ii) as a dividend on or in redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and/or, if applicable, (y) the Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount and the Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest as it deems appropriate to take into account the Liberty Interactive Common Stock into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable;

(6) the Corporation may pay the dividend or redemption price referred to in clause (A), (B) or (D) of this paragraph (e)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, that the Board of Directors determines and which has an aggregate Fair Value of not less than the amount allocated to such dividend or redemption pursuant to the applicable of clauses (A), (B) or (D) of this paragraph (e)(ii), regardless of the form or nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the Interactive Group Disposition; and

(7) if all or any portion of the redemption price referred to in clause (B) or (D) of this paragraph (e)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Interactive Common Stock is paid in the form of securities of an issuer other than the Corporation, the Board of Directors may determine to pay the redemption price, so payable in securities, in the form of (x) identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, (y) separate classes or series of securities, on an equal per share basis, to the holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock or (z) a separate class or series of securities to the holders of one or more series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and, on an equal per share basis, a different class or series of securities to the holders of all other series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock; provided, that, in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Interactive Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Interactive Common Stock and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (as compared to the other series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock.

(iii) Certain Provisions Respecting Convertible Securities. Unless the provisions of any Convertible Securities that are or become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for

C-22

Table of Contents

shares of any series of Liberty Interactive Common Stock provide specifically to the contrary, or the instrument, plan or agreement evidencing such Convertible Securities or pursuant to which the same were issued grants to the Board of Directors the discretion to approve or authorize any adjustment or adjustments to the conversion, exercise or exchange provisions of such Convertible Securities so as to obtain a result different from that which would otherwise occur pursuant to this paragraph (e)(iii), and the Board of Directors so approves or authorizes such adjustment or adjustments, after any Interactive Group Conversion Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date on which all outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock were converted or redeemed, any share of Liberty Interactive Common Stock that is issued on conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Security will, immediately upon issuance and without any notice or any other action on the part of the Corporation or its Board of Directors or the holder of such share of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, be redeemed in exchange for, to the extent assets of the Corporation are legally available therefor, the amount of $.01 per share in cash.

(VI) if the Board of Directors has made a Interactive Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, the number of Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities attributable to the Ventures Group, and the Number of Shares Issuable to the Ventures Group with Respect to the Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest used in determining such number and attribution of Interactive Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities;

(VII) instructions as to how shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock may be surrendered for redemption; and

(VIII) if the Board of Directors so determines, that the Corporation will not be required to register a transfer of any shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock for a period of 10 Trading Days (or such shorter period as such announcement may specify) next preceding the specified Interactive Group Redemption Selection Date.

If, at the time of the issuance of the press release required by this paragraph (C), the Interactive Group Redemption Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, such

C-25

Table of Contents

press release shall include as much of the information set forth in subparagraphs (I) to (VIII) as is then available, and the Corporation will issue a second press release once the Interactive Group Redemption Stockholder Approval is obtained setting forth any such required information not included in the first press release.

(D) The Corporation will give such notice to holders of Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Liberty Interactive Common Stock as may be required by the terms of such Convertible Securities or as the Board of Directors may otherwise deem appropriate in connection with a dividend, redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to this Section A.2., as applicable.

(E) All public announcements (including any proxy materials to the extent approval of the stockholders of the Corporation is sought or required) made pursuant to clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this paragraph (e)(iv) will include such further statements, and the Corporation reserves the right to make such further public announcements, as may be required by law or the rules of the principal national securities exchange on which the Liberty Interactive Common Stock is listed or as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, deem appropriate.

(F) No adjustments in respect of dividends will be made upon the conversion or redemption of any shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise contemplated by paragraph (e)(ii)(D), if the Interactive Group Conversion Date or the Interactive Group Redemption Date with respect to any shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock will be subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution thereon or with respect thereto, but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution, the holders of record of such shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock at the close of business on such record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on or with respect to such shares on the date set for payment of such dividend or other distribution, notwithstanding the prior conversion or redemption of such shares.

(G) Before any holder of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock will be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates representing shares of any kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to be received by such holder with respect to shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. or this paragraph (e), such holder will surrender at such place as the Corporation will specify certificates representing such shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation will waive such requirement). The Corporation will as soon as practicable after such surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the office of the transfer agent for the shares or other securities to be delivered, to the holder for whose account shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to which such Person will be entitled as aforesaid, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (e)(iv)(I). If less than all of the shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be redeemed or converted, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock not redeemed or converted. Shares selected for redemption may not thereafter be converted pursuant to paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section A.2.

(H) From and after any applicable Interactive Group Conversion Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date, all rights of a holder of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock that were converted or redeemed on such Interactive Group Conversion Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date, as applicable, will cease except for the right, upon surrender of a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock, to receive a certificate or certificates representing shares of the kind and amount of capital stock or cash, securities (other than capital stock) or other assets for which such shares were converted or redeemed, as applicable, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (e)(iv)(I) of this Section A.2. and such holder will have no other or further rights in respect of the shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock so converted or redeemed, including, but not limited to, any rights with respect to any cash, securities or other assets which are reserved or otherwise designated by the Corporation as being held for the satisfaction of the Corporation's obligations to pay or deliver any cash, securities or other assets upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of such conversion or redemption. No holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the applicable Interactive Group Conversion Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date represented shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock will be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of any kind of capital stock into or in exchange for which the Liberty Interactive Common Stock was converted or redeemed until surrender of such holder's certificate for a certificate or certificates representing shares of such kind of capital stock. Upon such surrender, there will be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became payable with respect to a record date after the Interactive Group Conversion Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender. From and after a Interactive Group Conversion Date or Interactive Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Corporation will, however, be entitled to treat certificates representing shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock that have not yet been surrendered for conversion or redemption in accordance with clause (G) above as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of the kind or kinds of capital stock for which the shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock represented by such certificates will have been converted or redeemed in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (e), notwithstanding the failure of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates.

(I) The Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other securities in a smaller than authorized denomination to any holder of Liberty Interactive Common Stock upon any conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (e). In connection with the determination of the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock that will be issuable or the amount of other securities that will be deliverable to any holder of record of Liberty Interactive Common Stock upon any such conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution (including any fractions of shares or securities), the Corporation may aggregate the shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock held at the relevant time by such holder of record. If the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be issued or delivered to any holder of Liberty Interactive Common Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation will pay, or will cause to be paid, a cash adjustment in lieu of such fraction in an amount

C-27

Table of Contents

equal to the "value" of such fraction, as the Board of Directors shall in good faith determine to be appropriate (without interest).

(J) Any deadline for effecting a dividend, redemption or conversion prescribed by this paragraph (e) may be extended if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to enable the Corporation to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(f) Redemption and Other Provisions Relating to the Liberty Ventures Common Stock.

(i) Redemption for Securities of one or more Ventures Group Subsidiaries. At any time at which a Subsidiary of the Corporation holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to the Ventures Group, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to assets of the Corporation being legally available therefor but subject (in addition to any other approval of the Corporation's stockholders (or any series thereof) required under the DGCL in respect of such redemption, if any) to the Corporation having received the Ventures Group Redemption Stockholder Approval (and, to the extent applicable, the Interactive Group Redemption Stockholder Approval), redeem outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock (such shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be redeemed, the "Ventures Group Redemption Shares") for securities of such Subsidiary (a "Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary"), as provided herein. The number of Ventures Group Redemption Shares will be determined, by the Board of Directors, by multiplying (A) the number of outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock as of the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date, by (B) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Ventures Group that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation's equity interest in the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Ventures Group, in each case, as determined by the Board of Directors as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, as such percentage may be adjusted by the Board of Directors in its discretion to take into account such things as it deems relevant. The aggregate number of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary to be delivered (the "Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities") in redemption of the Ventures Group Redemption Shares will be equal to: (A) if the Board of Directors makes a Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Election as described below, the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the product of (I) the number of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary owned by the Corporation and (II) the percentage of the Fair Value of the Corporation's equity interest in the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary that is represented by the Fair Value of the Corporation's equity interest in the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary which is attributable to the Ventures Group (such product, the "Distributable Ventures Group Subsidiary Securities"), by (y) the Ventures Group Outstanding Interest Fraction, in each case, as of the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date, or (B) if the Board of Directors does not make a Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, all of the Distributable Ventures Group Subsidiary Securities, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided below. The number of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary to be delivered in redemption of each Ventures Group Redemption Share will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the number of Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, by (y) the number of Ventures Group Redemption Shares.

If the Ventures Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one (1) on the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date for any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) and if (but only if) the Board of Directors so determines in its discretion (a "Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Election"), then concurrently with the distribution of the Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities in redemption of Ventures Group Redemption Shares, the Corporation will attribute to the Interactive Group an aggregate number of Distributable Ventures Group Subsidiary Securities (the "Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities") equal to the difference between the total number of Distributable Ventures Group Subsidiary Securities and

C-28

Table of Contents

the number of Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, subject to adjustment as provided below. If a Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Election is made, then: (I) the Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) of the definition of "Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest" in paragraph (i) of this Section A.2.; (II) the attribution of Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be made to the Interactive Group may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to such Group; and (III) the Board of Directors may determine that the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities so allocated or transferred to the Interactive Group will be distributed to holders of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock as a Share Distribution pursuant to paragraph (d)(i)(C) of this Section A.2.

If at the time of a redemption of Liberty Ventures Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock that would become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Distributable Ventures Group Subsidiary Securities as a result of such redemption, and the obligation to deliver securities of such Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities is not assumed or otherwise provided for by the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary, then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments as it determines to be appropriate to the number of Ventures Group Redemption Shares, the number of Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities and the number of Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities (and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest), to take into account the securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable.

In the event that not all outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock are to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (f)(i) for Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities, then (1) the number of shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (f)(i) will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Ventures Group Redemption Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of such series and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, in each case, outstanding as of the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date, and (2) the outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be redeemed in accordance with this paragraph (f)(i) will be redeemed by the Corporation pro rata among the holders of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock or by such other method as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be equitable.

To the extent that a Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary to be distributed pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) also holds, directly or indirectly, assets and liabilities attributed to the Interactive Group, then (x) such Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary will also be deemed a Distributed Interactive Group Subsidiary for purposes of paragraph (e)(i) and (y) in connection with the redemption of Ventures Group Redemption Shares pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) the Corporation will also redeem shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (e)(i), subject to the Corporation obtaining the Ventures Group Redemption Stockholder Approval and the Interactive Group Redemption Stockholder Approval. In connection with any such redemption of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock, the Board of Directors will effect such redemption in accordance with the terms of paragraphs (e)(i) and (f)(i), as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith,

C-29

Table of Contents

with such changes and adjustments as the Board of Directors determines are reasonably necessary in order to effect such redemption in exchange for securities of a single Subsidiary holding the assets and liabilities of more than one Group. In effecting such redemption, the Board of Directors may determine to redeem the Interactive Group Redemption Shares and the Ventures Group Redemption Shares, in exchange for one or more classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, for separate classes or series of securities of such Subsidiary, (I) with the holders of Interactive Group Redemption Shares to receive Interactive Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Interactive Group held by such Subsidiary and (II) with holders of Ventures Group Redemption Shares to receive Ventures Group Distribution Subsidiary Securities intended to track the performance of the former assets and liabilities attributed to the Ventures Group held by such Subsidiary, subject, in each case, to the applicable limitations on the class and series of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary set forth in the last paragraph of paragraphs (e)(i) and (f)(i).

Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i) will occur on a Ventures Group Redemption Date set forth in a notice to holders of Liberty Ventures Common Stock (and Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of any series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock (unless provision for notice is otherwise made pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities)) pursuant to paragraph (f)(iv)(C).

In effecting a redemption of Liberty Ventures Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i), the Board of Directors may determine either to (x) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in exchange for a single class or series of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary without distinction among series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, on an equal per share basis, (y) redeem shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in exchange for separate classes or series of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary, on an equal per share basis, or (z) redeem shares of one or more series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in exchange for a separate class or series of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary and, on an equal per share basis, redeem shares of all other series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in exchange for a different class or series of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary; provided, that, in the case of clauses (y) and (z), (1) such separate classes or series do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), with holders of shares of Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.) among the Series A Liberty Ventures Common Stock, the Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock and the Series C Liberty Ventures Common Stock, and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock other than the Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock in such redemption consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion, redemption and share distribution provisions such as those set forth in this Section A.2.), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock (other than the Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock) (i) as the Board of Directors determines or (ii) such that the relative voting rights of the class or series of securities to be received by the holders of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights

Table of Contents

(as compared to the other series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, other than the Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock) of such series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock. If the Board of Directors has made a Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Election, then the determination as to the classes or series of securities of the Distributed Ventures Group Subsidiary comprising the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest Subsidiary Securities to be so transferred or allocated to the Interactive Group will be made by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

(ii) Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of Ventures Group Disposition. In the event of a Ventures Group Disposition (other than an Exempt Ventures Group Disposition), the Corporation will, on or prior to the 120th Trading Day following the consummation of such Ventures Group Disposition and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section A.2., take the actions referred to in one of clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as elected by the Board of Directors:

(A) Subject to the first sentence of paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section A.2. the Corporation may declare and pay a dividend payable in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, to the holders of outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Ventures Group Disposition as of the record date for determining the holders entitled to receive such dividend, as the same may be determined by the Board of Directors, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(ii) and (d)(ii) of this Section A.2.; or

(B) Provided that there are assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and the Ventures Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph (f)(ii) in lieu of effecting the redemption provided for in this clause (B), then:

(I) if such Ventures Group Disposition involves all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Ventures Group, the Corporation may redeem all outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value (subject to adjustment as provided below) equal to the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Ventures Group Disposition as of the Ventures Group Redemption Date, as determined by the Board of Directors, such aggregate amount to be allocated among the shares of all series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock outstanding as of the Ventures Group Redemption Date on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)); or

(II) if such Ventures Group Disposition involves substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Ventures Group, the Corporation may apply an aggregate amount (subject to adjustment as provided below) of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with a Fair Value equal to the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Ventures Group Disposition as of the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date (the "Ventures Group Redemption Amount") to the redemption of outstanding shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, such Ventures Group Redemption Amount to be allocated (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)) to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in the ratio of (x) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date to (y) the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock outstanding as of such date, and the number of shares of each such series to be redeemed will equal the lesser

C-31

Table of Contents

of (1) the number of shares of such series outstanding as of the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date and (2) the whole number nearest the number obtained by dividing the aggregate amount so allocated to the redemption of such series by the Average Market Value of the Liberty Ventures Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Ventures Group Disposition; provided that, if following the foregoing allocation there remains any amount of the Ventures Group Redemption Amount which is not being applied to the redemption of shares of a series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, then such excess amount will be allocated to the redemption of shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock that, following the initial allocation referred to above, would have shares outstanding and not redeemed, with the number of outstanding and not redeemed shares to be redeemed from each such series to be calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately preceding sentence based upon such excess amount of the Ventures Group Redemption Amount. The outstanding shares of a series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis among the holders of such series or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable; or

(C) The Corporation may convert each outstanding share of Series A Liberty Ventures Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series A Liberty Interactive Common Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Liberty Ventures Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Liberty Interactive Common Stock, and each outstanding share of Series C Liberty Ventures Common Stock into a number (or fraction) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series C Liberty Interactive Common Stock, in each case, equal to 110% of the average daily ratio (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) of (I) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Ventures Reference Share over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the consummation of such Ventures Group Disposition, to (II) the Average Market Value of the Liberty Interactive Reference Share over the same 10-Trading Day period; or

(D) The Corporation may combine the conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock into Liberty Interactive Common Stock as contemplated by clause (C) of this paragraph (f)(ii) with the payment of a dividend on or the redemption of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock as described below, subject to the limitations specified in clause (A) (in the case of a dividend) or clause (B) (in the case of a redemption) of this paragraph (f)(ii) (including the limitations specified in other paragraphs of this Certificate referred to therein). In the event the Board of Directors elects the option described in this clause (D), the portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock will be determined by the Board of Directors and will be so converted at the conversion rate determined in accordance with clause (C) above and the Corporation will either (x) pay a dividend to the holders of record of all of the remaining shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock outstanding, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (c)(ii) and (d)(ii) of this Section A.2., or (y) redeem all or a portion of such remaining shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend, in the case of a dividend, or the portion of the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption, in the case of a redemption, will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (I) an amount equal to the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Ventures Group Disposition as of, in the case of a dividend, the record date for determining the holders of Liberty Ventures Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend and, in the case of a

C-32

Table of Contents

redemption, the Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date (in the case of a partial redemption) or the Ventures Group Redemption Date (in the case of a full redemption), in each case, before giving effect to the conversion of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in connection with such Ventures Group Disposition in accordance with this clause (D) and any related adjustment to the Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest, by (II) one minus a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be converted into shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock in accordance with this clause (D) and the denominator of which will be the aggregate number of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock outstanding as of the record date, Ventures Group Redemption Selection Date or Ventures Group Redemption Date used for purposes of clause (I) of this sentence. In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, if the Ventures Group Disposition was of all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Ventures Group, then all remaining outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the portion of the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption determined in accordance with this clause (D), such aggregate amount to be allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)). In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, if the Ventures Group Disposition was of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Ventures Group, then the number of shares of each series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be redeemed will be determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) of this paragraph (f)(ii), substituting for the Ventures Group Redemption Amount referred to therein the portion of the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with this clause (D), and such shares will be redeemed for cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such portion of the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds and allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this paragraph (f)(ii)). The aggregate number of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock to be converted in any partial conversion in accordance with this clause (D) will be allocated among the series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in the ratio of the number of shares of each such series outstanding to the aggregate number of shares of all series of Liberty Ventures Common Stock outstanding as of the Ventures Group Conversion Selection Date, and the shares of each such series to be converted will be selected on a pro rata basis or by such other method as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable. In the case of a redemption, the allocation of the cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) and/or other assets to be paid in redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the selection of shares to be redeemed will be made in the manner contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (f)(ii).

For purposes of this paragraph (f)(ii):

(1) as of any date, "substantially all of the assets of the Ventures Group" means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-Fair Value of the assets of the Ventures Group as of such date;

(2) in the case of a Ventures Group Disposition of assets in a series of related transactions, such Ventures Group Disposition will not be deemed to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such transactions;

C-33

Table of Contents

(3) if the Board of Directors seeks the approval of the holders of Liberty Ventures Voting Securities entitled to vote thereon to qualify a Ventures Group Disposition as an Exempt Ventures Group Disposition and such approval is not obtained, the date on which such approval fails to be obtained will be treated as the date on which such Ventures Group Disposition was consummated for purposes of making the determinations and taking the actions prescribed by this paragraph (f)(ii) and paragraph (f)(iv), and no subsequent vote may be taken to qualify such Ventures Group Disposition as an Exempt Ventures Group Disposition;

(4) in the event of a redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock pursuant to clause (B)(II) or (D) of this paragraph (f)(ii) at a time when the Ventures Group Outstanding Interest Fraction is less than one, if the Board of Directors so elects (a "Ventures Group Inter-Group Partial Redemption Election"), in its discretion, the Corporation will attribute to the Interactive Group concurrently with such redemption an aggregate amount (the "Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount") of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as described below, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the difference between (x) the Ventures Group Net Proceeds and (y) the portion of the Ventures Group Allocable Net Proceeds applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with clause (B)(II) or clause (D) of this paragraph (f)(ii). If the Board of Directors makes such election, the Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest will be decreased in the manner described in subparagraph (ii)(E) of the definition of "Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest" in paragraph (i) of this Section A.2. The Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation to the Interactive Group or by a direct transfer to the Interactive Group of cash, securities and/or other assets;

(5) if at the time of a Ventures Group Disposition subject to this paragraph (f)(ii), there are outstanding any Convertible Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock that would give the holders thereof the right to receive any consideration related to such Ventures Group Disposition upon conversion, exercise or exchange or otherwise, or would adjust to give the holders equivalent economic rights, as a result of any dividend, redemption or other action taken by the Corporation with respect to the Liberty Ventures Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (f)(ii), then the Board of Directors may make such adjustments to (x) the amount of consideration to be issued or delivered as contemplated by this paragraph (f)(ii) as a dividend on or in redemption or conversion of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock and/or, if applicable, (y) the Ventures Group Inter-Group Redemption Amount and the Number of Shares Issuable to the Interactive Group with Respect to the Ventures Group Inter-Group Interest as it deems appropriate to take into account the Liberty Ventures Common Stock into which such Convertible Securities are convertible or for which such Convertible Securities are exercisable or exchangeable;

(6) the Corporation may pay the dividend or redemption price referred to in clause (A), (B) or (D) of this paragraph (f)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Ventures Common Stock in cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other assets, or any combination thereof, that the Board of Directors determines and which has an aggregate Fair Value of not less than the amount allocated to such dividend or redemption pursuant to the applicable of clauses (A), (B) or (D) of this paragraph (f)(ii), regardless of the form or nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the Ventures Group Disposition; and

(7) if all or any portion of the redemption price referred to in clause (B) or (D) of this paragraph (f)(ii) payable to the holders of Liberty Ventures Common Stock is paid in the form of securities of an issuer other than the Corporation, the Board of Directors may determine to pay the redemption price, so payable in securities, in the form of (x) identical securities, on an equal

C-38

Table of Contents

Liberty Ventures Common Stock will be subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution thereon or with respect thereto, but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution, the holders of record of such shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock at the close of business on such record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on or with respect to such shares on the date set for payment of such dividend or other distribution, notwithstanding the prior conversion or redemption of such shares.

(G) Before any holder of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock will be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates representing shares of any kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to be received by such holder with respect to shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. or this paragraph (f), such holder will surrender at such place as the Corporation will specify certificates representing such shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation will waive such requirement). The Corporation will as soon as practicable after such surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the office of the transfer agent for the shares or other securities to be delivered, to the holder for whose account shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock or cash, securities or other assets to which such Person will be entitled as aforesaid, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (f)(iv)(I). If less than all of the shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be redeemed or converted, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock not redeemed or converted. Shares selected for redemption may not thereafter be converted pursuant to paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section A.2.

(H) From and after any applicable Ventures Group Conversion Date or Ventures Group Redemption Date, all rights of a holder of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock that were converted or redeemed on such Ventures Group Conversion Date or Ventures Group Redemption Date, as applicable, will cease except for the right, upon surrender of a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock, to receive a certificate or certificates representing shares of the kind and amount of capital stock or cash, securities (other than capital stock) or other assets for which such shares were converted or redeemed, as applicable, together with any payment for fractional securities contemplated by paragraph (f)(iv)(I) of this Section A.2. and such holder will have no other or further rights in respect of the shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock so converted or redeemed, including, but not limited to, any rights with respect to any cash, securities or other assets which are reserved or otherwise designated by the Corporation as being held for the satisfaction of the Corporation's obligations to pay or deliver any cash, securities or other assets upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of such conversion or redemption. No holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the applicable Ventures Group Conversion Date or Ventures Group Redemption Date represented shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock will be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of any kind of capital stock into or in exchange for which the Liberty Ventures Common Stock was converted or redeemed until surrender of such holder's certificate for a certificate or certificates representing shares of such kind of capital stock. Upon such surrender, there will be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became payable with

C-39

Table of Contents

respect to a record date after the Ventures Group Conversion Date or Ventures Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of the kind of capital stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender. From and after a Ventures Group Conversion Date or Ventures Group Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Corporation will, however, be entitled to treat certificates representing shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock that have not yet been surrendered for conversion or redemption in accordance with clause (G) above as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of the kind or kinds of capital stock for which the shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock represented by such certificates will have been converted or redeemed in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section A.2 or this paragraph (f), notwithstanding the failure of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates.

(I) The Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other securities in a smaller than authorized denomination to any holder of Liberty Ventures Common Stock upon any conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section A.2. or this paragraph (f). In connection with the determination of the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock that will be issuable or the amount of other securities that will be deliverable to any holder of record of Liberty Ventures Common Stock upon any such conversion, redemption, dividend or other distribution (including any fractions of shares or securities), the Corporation may aggregate the shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock held at the relevant time by such holder of record. If the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be issued or delivered to any holder of Liberty Ventures Common Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation will pay, or will cause to be paid, a cash adjustment in lieu of such fraction in an amount equal to the "value" of such fraction, as the Board of Directors shall in good faith determine to be appropriate (without interest).

(J) Any deadline for effecting a dividend, redemption or conversion prescribed by this paragraph (f) may be extended if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, to enable the Corporation to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) Liquidation and Dissolution.

(i) General. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the prior payment in full of the preferential amounts to which any series of Preferred Stock is entitled, the holders of shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and the holders of shares of Liberty Ventures Common Stock will be entitled to receive their proportionate interests in the assets of the Corporation remaining for distribution to holders of Common Stock (regardless of the Group to which such assets are then attributed) in proportion to the respective number of liquidation units per share of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock.

Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or Persons nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation will itself be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph (g).

(ii) Liquidation Units. The liquidation units per share of each series of Common Stock will be as follows:

(A) each share of Liberty Interactive Common Stock will have one liquidation unit; and

provided, that, if, after the Effective Date, the Corporation, at any time or from time to time, subdivides (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or combines (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock or Liberty Ventures Common Stock, or declares and pays a dividend or distribution in shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock or Liberty Ventures Common Stock to holders of Liberty Interactive Common Stock or Liberty Ventures Common Stock, as applicable, the per share liquidation units of the Liberty Interactive Common Stock or Liberty Ventures Common Stock, as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted as determined by the Board of Directors, so as to avoid any dilution in the aggregate, relative liquidation rights of the shares of Liberty Interactive Common Stock and Liberty Ventures Common Stock.

Whenever an adjustment is made to liquidation units under this paragraph (g), the Corporation will promptly thereafter prepare and file a statement of such adjustment with the Secretary of the Corporation. Neither the failure to prepare nor the failure to file any such statement will affect the validity of such adjustment.

(h) Determinations by the Board of Directors. Any determinations made by the Board of Directors under any provision in this Section A.2. will be final and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation, except as may otherwise be required by law. In addition, if different consideration is distributed to different series of Common Stock in a Share Distribution, the determination of the Board of Directors that such Share Distribution was made on an equal per share basis will be final and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation, except as may otherwise be required by law.

Except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in a Preferred Stock Designation or by law, shares of any series of Preferred Stock that have been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or purchased by the Corporation, or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of any other class or classes will have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by a Preferred Stock Designation or as part of any other series of Preferred Stock.

ARTICLE V

SECTION A

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The governing body of the Corporation will be a Board of Directors.

SECTION B

CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD

Except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to separately elect additional directors, which additional directors are not required to be classified pursuant to the terms of such series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors will be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class will consist, as nearly as possible, of a number of directors equal to one-third (¹/3) of the number of members of the Board of Directors authorized as provided in Section A of this Article V. The term of office of the initial Class I directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2014; the term of office of the initial Class II directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2012; and the term of office of the initial Class III directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2013. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation the successors of that class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The directors of each class will hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

SECTION C

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, directors may be removed from office only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

SECTION D

NEWLY CREATED DIRECTORSHIPS AND VACANCIES

Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal, disqualification or other cause, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors on the Board of Directors, will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office (even though less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred or to which the new directorship is apportioned, and until such director's successor will have been elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director, except as may be provided with respect to any additional director elected by the holders of the applicable series of Preferred Stock.

SECTION E

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

1. Limitation On Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation will not be liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph 1 will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

2. Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification. The Corporation will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person. Such right of indemnification will inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Section E. The Corporation will be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

(b) Prepayment of Expenses. The Corporation will pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding will be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this paragraph or otherwise.

(c) Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful, will be entitled to be paid the expense (including attorney's fees) of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In any such action the Corporation will have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this paragraph will not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate, the Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise.

(e) Other Indemnification. The Corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity will be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity.

3. Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Section E will not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors And Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that the certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.

Article V, Section E of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter") of the Registrant, as will be in effect upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, provides as follows:

1. Limitation On Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this paragraph 1 shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of a director of the Registrant existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

2. Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification. The Registrant shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person. Such right of

II-1

indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of Article V, Section E of the Charter. The Registrant shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Registrant.

(b) Prepayment of Expenses. The Registrant shall pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this paragraph or otherwise.

(c) Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this paragraph is not paid in full within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Registrant, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful, will be entitled to be paid the expense (including attorney's fees) of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In any such action the Registrant shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this paragraph shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter, the bylaws of the Registrant, agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise.

(e) Other Indemnification. The Registrant's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity.

3. Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of Article V, Section E of the Charter shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Item 22. Undertakings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such

II-3

director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i): To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii): To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii): To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Registrant

II-4

will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i): Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii): Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant;
(iii): The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and
(iv): Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser.

(6): To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(7): That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(8): That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
(9): That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (8) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to this registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(10): To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; this includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of this registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(11): To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this registration statement when it became effective.
