Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On June 12, 2014, OpenTable, Inc. ("OpenTable") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or merger agreement, with The Priceline Group Inc. ("The Priceline Group") and Rhombus, Inc. ("Rhombus"), as a result of which OpenTable was acquired by The Priceline Group on July 24, 2014. In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, on July 24, 2014, Rhombus merged with and into OpenTable, with OpenTable continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Priceline Group, which is referred to herein as the merger. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, which we refer to as the pro forma statements of operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of The Priceline Group and OpenTable, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet, which we refer to as the pro forma balance sheet, as of June 30, 2014 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of The Priceline Group and OpenTable, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on June 30, 2014. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing effect on the combined results of The Priceline Group and OpenTable.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, which we refer to as the statements, and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with The Priceline Group considered the acquirer of OpenTable. In the statements and related notes, the purchase consideration paid in the merger has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of OpenTable based upon their estimated fair values as of June 30, 2014. The statements contained herein do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue, tax, or other synergies that may result from the merger.

The statements and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated balance sheet of the combined company would have been had the merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company's future consolidated results of operations or consolidated balance sheet. The statements are based upon currently available information and estimates and assumptions that The Priceline Group's management and OpenTable's management believe are reasonable as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different, and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts existing upon finalization of the merger.

PF-4




1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The statements and related notes present the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company formed pursuant to the merger based on the historical financial statements of The Priceline Group Inc. ("The Priceline Group") (formerly known as priceline.com Inc.) and OpenTable, Inc. ("OpenTable") (after giving effect to the merger and adjustments described in these notes, subject to the assumptions and limitations described herein), and are intended to reflect the impact of the merger on The Priceline Group.

The historical financial information of The Priceline Group as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was derived from the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of The Priceline Group from its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The historical financial information of The Priceline Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements from The Priceline Group's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. OpenTable's audited historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. These statements should be read in conjunction with such historical financial statements.

The merger will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations), which we refer to as ASC 805. Under ASC 805, most of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

The pro forma statements of operations reflect the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013, and the pro forma balance sheet reflects the merger as if it had been completed on June 30, 2014. The statements and these notes include pro forma adjustments based on preliminary valuations of assets and liabilities of OpenTable. These adjustments are preliminary and may be revised as additional valuation work is performed. The final purchase price allocations will be based on estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the closing of the merger. For the purpose of measuring the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in determining the final purchase price allocations, The Priceline Group will apply the accounting guidance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date. The fair value measurements will utilize estimates based on key assumptions in connection with the merger, including historical and current market data.

The pro forma information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company.

2. Estimated Acquisition Consideration for OpenTable
At the effective time of the merger on July 24, 2014, each issued and outstanding share of OpenTable common stock, other than shares owned by stockholders that perfected and did not withdraw a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, were converted into a right to receive an amount of cash equal to $103.00 per share, except for shares then owned by The Priceline Group or Rhombus and shares held in treasury of OpenTable or by any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which shares were canceled and retired and ceased to exist.

The aggregate weighted average per share price ("VWAP") of The Priceline Group common stock from July 17, 2014 through July 23, 2014 (the five trading day period ending one day prior to the effective date of the merger) was $1,217.82, resulting in an conversion ratio of 0.084577 ($103.00 divided by $1,217.82). The conversation ratio was used to calculate the amount of share awards assumed and the exercise price of options assumed in the merger, pursuant to section 4.05 of the agreement and plan of merger filed June 13, 2014.
    
Based on OpenTable's shares of common stock and equity awards outstanding as of July 24, 2014, the acquisition consideration is approximately as follows (in thousands):

(1) Under ASC 805, vested and unvested stock awards attributed to pre-combination services are accounted for as purchase price consideration.

3. Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation
The preliminary purchase price allocation for OpenTable is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other studies which have not yet been finalized in order to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments to allocate the acquisition consideration will remain preliminary until The Priceline Group's management determines the fair values of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.
The total preliminary estimated acquisition consideration as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of OpenTable based on their estimated fair values. As of June 30, 2014, the estimated purchase price allocation was as follows (in thousands):

Identifiable intangible assets. Preliminary fair values for the intangible assets were determined based on the relief from royalty method, income approach method, and cost method. The intangible assets identified were trade names and domain names, customer relationships and technology and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:
Trade names and domain names
 
20 years
Customer relationships
 
15 years
Technology
 
5 years
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated acquisition consideration over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was the acquired workforce of experienced personnel, synergies in products, technologies, skill sets, operations, customer base, and organizational cultures that can be leveraged to enable us to build a successful combined enterprise. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made.
