CORPORATE STRATEGY. EXPE's indicated business strategy is to leverage its portfolio of travel brands, in-

market. China, and Asia more generally, have become a top priority for EXPE. Meanwhile, China's largest

Internet company, Tencent, remains a stakeholder in Ctrip.

In 2008, EXPE acquired Italy's Venere, with a focus on European lodging reservations. More recently, the
company has used M&A to help build out its mobile assets and capabilities. In 2011, EXPE announced a
joint venture with AirAsia, a leading low-cost airline in Asia, to better pursue growth opportunities. In 2013,
EXPE acquired 62% of European hotel search company trivago, in a deal valued at 477 million euros ($632
million) in cash and stock. In 2014, it acquired Auto Escape, a leading online car rental reservation compa-
ny in Europe (for undisclosed terms).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. As of December 2015, Liberty Interactive (QVCA 26, NR) owned about 16% of
EXPE's outstanding common shares (assuming full conversion of all interests), and Barry Diller controlled
about 54% of the outstanding total voting power. LINTA has contractually entrusted Diller to represent its
interests, and a court basically deemed this relationship legally enforceable in mid-2008, in our opinion.

FINANCIAL TRENDS. Since re-emerging as a public company in August 2005, EXPE has increased its sales
and profits, albeit in an inconsistent manner. In February 2010, EXPE announced its first dividend; after
subsequent increases, the recent dividend yield was 0.8%. As of December 31, 2015, it had $1.5 billion in
cash and short-term investments, and $3.6 billion of long-term debt.
