Organization—The Spin-Off
On April 7, 2011, Expedia, Inc.
(“Expedia”) announced its plan to spin-off its TripAdvisor Media Group business to Expedia’s stockholders and thereby
separate into two independent public companies in order to better achieve certain strategic objectives of its various
businesses. We refer to this transaction as the “spin-off.”
On
November 1, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared effective the Registration Statement on Form S-4,
filed by Expedia and TripAdvisor, Inc. (“TripAdvisor”) and which contained information pertaining to the spin-off and
included a definitive proxy statement for Expedia and prospectus for Expedia and TripAdvisor. On December 6, 2011, at
Expedia’s annual meeting of stockholders, Expedia’s stockholders approved the spin-off transaction. Also on December 6,
2011, the Board of Directors of Expedia approved a Separation Agreement and related agreements to be entered into between
Expedia and TripAdvisor in connection with the spin-off which set forth the terms of and conditions to the spin-off.
In connection with the spin-off,
TripAdvisor was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 20, 2011 (“incorporation date”). TripAdvisor currently
does not have any material assets or liabilities, nor does it engage in any business or other activities and, other than
in connection with the spin-off, will not acquire or incur any material assets or liabilities, nor will it separately
engage in any business or other activities, in each case prior to the spin-off. In connection with the spin-off, we expect
Expedia to contribute or transfer all of the subsidiaries and assets relating to Expedia’s TripAdvisor Media Group, to
TripAdvisor and expect that TripAdvisor or one of its subsidiaries will assume all of the liabilities relating to
Expedia’s TripAdvisor Media Group.
The balance sheet of TripAdvisor
as of September 30, 2011 represents the amount of initial capitalization that occurred on September 2, 2011, which would
also be presented as an investing cash inflow in the statement of cash flows. TripAdvisor did not have any other operating
activities during the period from its incorporation date to September 30, 2011, and therefore, a statement of operations,
statement of stockholder’s equity and statement of cash flows has not been included herein.
