QVC Won’t Raise Paramount Bid: QVC Network Inc. is working to remove all financial conditions attached to its hostile bid for Paramount Communications Inc., but sources said it won’t change its $90-a-share offer before a Delaware court decides whether Paramount has dealt fairly with QVC. A ruling is expected Monday. QVC has asked a Delaware Chancery Court to overturn Paramount’s “poison pill” provision, which could make a takeover prohibitively expensive. Paramount fell 62.5 cents to $76.375 on the New York Stock Exchange. QVC inched up 37.5 cents to $50.75.
