Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 18, 2020, Jeffery H. Boyd informed Booking Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) that he has decided to retire from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective as of the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), and therefore he will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. His retirement is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company, its management or its Board of Directors on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices or otherwise.

The Company and the Board extend their deepest gratitude to Mr. Boyd for his outstanding leadership, vision and dedicated service, and for the incalculable contribution he made as Chief Executive Officer of the Company for more than a decade and as a member of the Board of Directors for nearly two decades (including seven years as Chairman).
