Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2010, ValueVision Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase for resale to the public (the “Offering”), subject to the terms and conditions expressed therein, 4,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a price to the public of $3.75 per Share. The Company expects the Offering to close on or about December 22, 2010, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and expects that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $17 million after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to reimburse the Underwriter for payments that the Underwriter may be required to make because of such liabilities.

The Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 17, 2010 and an accompanying base prospectus dated August 16, 2010, pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-168312) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2010. The opinion of the Company’s counsel regarding the validity of the Shares is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
