Safe Harbor Statement Under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Of 1995

 

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues and operating income before amortization. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of IAC’s senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties are described in IAC’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2003, especially in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis sections, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8-K.  Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on IAC’s future results, performance or achievements.  In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in this presentation may not occur.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this presentation.

 

IAC is not under any obligation and does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation to reflect circumstances existing after the date of this presentation or to reflect the occurrence of future events even if experience or future events make it clear that any expected results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements will not be realized.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

In connection with the proposed spin-off it is currently expected that IAC will file a proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC. Stockholders of IAC are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, when it becomes available, because it will contain important information about IAC, the proposed spin-off transaction and related matters. Investors and security holders can obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available by contacting Investor Relations, IAC/InterActiveCorp, Carnegie Hall Tower, 152 W. 57th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, NY 10019 (Telephone: (212) 314-7400).

In addition to the proxy statement, IAC files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC, each of which should be available at the SEC’s web site at WWW.SEC.GOV. You may also read and copy any reports, statements and other information filed by IAC at the SEC public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information.

 

IAC and its directors, executive officers and certain members of management and other employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of IAC’s stockholders to approve the proposed spin-off transaction. Such individuals may have interests in the transaction as described herein, including as a result of current holdings of options or shares of IAC’s stock and future holdings of options or shares of Expedia’s stock, which will be impacted in the transaction.
