As previously disclosed publicly by ValueVision Media, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Issuer”), on November 17, 2010, NBCUniversal entered into Amendment No. 2 to Trademark License Agreement with the Issuer, which among other things, extended the term of a certain license agreement through May 15, 2012. As consideration for this amendment, the Issuer agreed to issue to NBCUniversal shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Issuer (the “Shares”) in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $4 million by the per share price of the Shares equal to the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the six months immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Shares. The Issuer also agreed to provide NBCUniversal with one additional “demand” registration right pursuant to an amendment of that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 25, 2009, among the Issuer, NBCUniversal and GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc. (“GECEI”), to register the Shares issued in connection with the amendment to the Trademark License Agreement. Also, in the amendment to the Trademark License Agreement, the Issuer represented that its Board of Directors had taken all necessary actions to permit the transactions contemplated by the amendment, including compliance with the provisions of Section 4.01 of the Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2009, among the Issuer, GECEI and NBCUniversal, to allow NBCUniversal to acquire the Shares.
 
On May 16, 2011, NBCUniversal acquired 689,655 Shares pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to Trademark License Agreement.
