As previously announced, Expedia intends to spin-off its TripAdvisor Media Group businesses into a separate
publicly-traded company, TripAdvisor, Inc. The spin-off is subject to various conditions, including the requirement that the spin-off be approved by the affirmative vote of
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Expedia common stock, other than shares owned or controlled by Expedia management.  In connection with the proposed
spin-off, Expedia, Inc. and TripAdvisor, Inc. have filed a Prospectus/Proxy Statement with the SEC.  Stockholders of Expedia and investors are urged to read the Prospectus/Proxy
Statement because it contains important information about Expedia, TripAdvisor and the proposed spin-off transaction and related matters. Investors and security holders can
obtain free copies of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement by contacting Investor Relations, Expedia, 333 108th Avenue N.E., Bellevue, Washington 98004 (Telephone: (425) 679-
3555). Investors and security holders can also obtain free copies of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and other documents filed by Expedia and TripAdvisor with the SEC at the
SEC’s web site at                                In addition to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Expedia files, and TripAdvisor will file following the spin-off, annual, quarterly and current
reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC, each of which should be available at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.  You may also read and copy any reports,
statements and other information filed by Expedia or TripAdvisor at the SEC public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.  Please call the SEC at 1-
800-SEC-0330 for further information.  Expedia and its directors, executive officers and certain members of management and other employees may be deemed to be
participants in the solicitation of proxies of Expedia stockholders to approve the proposed spin-off transaction, which transaction will be considered for approval by Expedia
stockholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 6, 2011.  Directors, executive officers and certain members of management and other employees of
Expedia may have interests in the transaction as described in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, including as a result of current holdings of options, restricted share units or
shares of Expedia stock and future holdings of options, restricted share units or shares of TripAdvisor stock, which will be impacted in the transaction.  The Prospectus/Proxy
Statement, first mailed to Expedia stockholders on or around November 3, 2011, contains information regarding Expedia and the equity interests of its directors and officers
