IAC Stockholders Approve Spin-Off of Expedia, Inc. 'IACIV' and 'EXPEV' to Commence When-Issued Trading NEW YORK, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IACI) announced that its stockholders overwhelmingly approved the spin-off of Expedia, Inc., and the related proposals submitted at IAC's annual meeting of stockholders held earlier today. IAC will release its second quarter results on August 2, 2005 and expects to close the spin-off during the week of August 8th. IAC has been advised by the Nasdaq National Market that both Expedia common stock and IAC common stock (on a post spin-off basis) will trade on a "when-issued" post-reverse stock split basis on Nasdaq under the symbols "EXPEV" and "IACIV," respectively, from July 20, 2005 through the completion of the spin-off. During this period, IAC common stock will continue regular way trading on Nasdaq under its existing symbol, "IACI." On the first trading day after the spin-off is completed, regular way trading will commence for Expedia under the symbol "EXPE" and will continue for IAC under the symbol "IACI." In addition, the holders of over 99% of IAC's outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have elected to receive $50 in cash per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends in return for their shares. This amount will be paid upon completion of the spin-off. Following the spin-off, IAC will cease to have any ownership interest in Expedia, and Expedia will become an independent publicly traded company. Expedia will consist of IAC's travel and travel-related businesses, subsidiaries and investments, including TripAdvisor and excluding Interval International, which IAC will retain. IAC will continue to own and operate its remaining businesses as an independent publicly traded company.
