To: All Expedia Employees
From: Barry Diller

Re: Message from the Chairman

As many of you may have read of the sale of our family’s interest in TripAdvisor (Nasdaq: TRIP), and with questions of whether or not this is the first step in a general disposal of assets, I wanted to be quite clear that the answer to that question is ‘NO’.

This is the statement that I made about TripAdvisor:

“Ever since we acquired TripAdvisor in 2004 it’s been one of the smoothest and most trouble-free growth stories I’ve ever known,” said Barry Diller. “During that time it grew from a startup with $23 million in annual revenues to a $5 billion plus public company with a global brand that operates the world’s largest travel site. Its great progress has happened because of the superb talents of its co-founder and CEO, Steve Kaufer, and the team he leads. My only reason for resigning as Chairman and disposing of my interests is that I have more obligations than time and transferring control of TripAdvisor to Liberty (Nasdaq: LINTA) is something I’m very comfortable with -- Liberty has proven itself a fine steward and leader of its controlled businesses.”

Since the original sale by Microsoft ten years ago, I’ve been the Chairman of Expedia, through all it’s good times, and some less than good, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I’m very proud of the work you all do and the prospects for the future and plan to stay engaged as long as I’m sentient. I hope this clarifies, and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and new year…

Barry Diller

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin neu im Forum und bei Tripadvisor seit Ende Juli 2012 investiert. Die Aktie kam gerade von 45$ und ich habe mir damals zum Preis von 36,00 $ einige Stücke ins Depot gelegt.

Seitdem gab es schon viel Bewegung:

- Absturz auf 29,40 $ (-18% gegenüber meinem Einstandskurs)
- Veröffentlichung von sehr guten Quartalszahlen Anfang November
- Anstieg auf 36,60 $ Mitte November

Naja, ich gebe zu, ich war zwischenzeitlich schon etwas skeptisch.
Nun bin ich aber sehr zuversichtlich, dass demnächst die 40,00 $ anvisiert werden. TRIP ist einfach eine geile Seite und der Trend sieht aktuell sehr positiv aus...

Wäre schön, wenn es im Forum noch andere Investierte oder Interessierte gibt und man sich zukünftig hier ein bißchen über den (hoffentlich positiven) Kursverlauf von TRIP austauschen könnte... :-)

Weiß eigentlich jemand, warum sich der Gewinn im Vergleich zum Vorjahr so schlecht entwickelt hat?

Expedia, Inc. Stockholders Approve Spin-Off of TripAdvisor, Inc.
'EXPEV' and 'TRIPV' to Commence When-Issued Trading

BELLEVUE, Wash., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) announced today that its stockholders overwhelmingly approved the spin-off of TripAdvisor, Inc. and the related proposals submitted at Expedia's annual meeting of stockholders held earlier today, including the one-for-two reverse stock split proposal, the conversion of the outstanding shares of Expedia Series A preferred stock into the right to receive a fixed amount of cash pursuant to a merger, and various amendments to Expedia's certificate of incorporation. The approval included a favorable vote by more than a majority of the non-management shares. Expedia® expects the transaction to close on or about December 20, 2011, including implementation of a one-for-two reverse stock split of Expedia stock immediately prior to the spin-off.

In addition, the proposals submitted to stockholders with respect to the re-election of all members of the Expedia board of directors, ratification of the appointment of Expedia's independent auditor and the advisory vote on executive compensation were also approved, and stockholders recommended three years as the frequency with which advisory votes on executive compensation would be held. Expedia will file the final, certified vote results on a Current Report on Form 8-K when available.

The Nasdaq Global Market has advised Expedia that both TripAdvisor® common stock and Expedia common stock (on a post spin-off basis) will trade on a "when-issued" post-reverse stock split basis on Nasdaq under the symbols "TRIPV" and "EXPEV" respectively, from December 7, 2011 through the completion of the spin-off, which is currently expected to occur on or about December 20, 2011. During this period, Expedia common stock will continue regular way trading on Nasdaq under its existing symbol, "EXPE." On the first trading day after the spin-off is completed, which trading day is currently expected to be on or about December 21, 2011, regular way trading will commence for TripAdvisor under the symbol "TRIP" and will continue for EXPE under the symbol "EXPE."
...

Upon completion of the spin-off, Expedia will cease to have any ownership interest in TripAdvisor, and TripAdvisor will become an independent publicly traded company, with the stockholders of Expedia immediately prior to the spin-off holding all of the shares of TripAdvisor stock.

TripAdvisor, Inc. will be based in Newton, Massachusetts and Expedia, Inc. will remain headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.
