PART I

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

Recent Litigation between IAC and Liberty Media Corporation

        On January 23, 2008, IAC and Barry Diller commenced an action in Delaware Chancery Court against Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty"), seeking declaratory relief that, among other things, (i) the Company's announced plan to spin off certain of its operating businesses into separate, publicly traded companies, as well as the implementation of a single-class voting structure of those companies, are proper under IAC's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as under the existing Governance Agreement among IAC, Liberty, and Mr. Diller and the existing Stockholders Agreement between Liberty and Mr. Diller; (ii) Mr. Diller may exercise his proxy under the Stockholders Agreement to vote Liberty's IAC shares in connection with the Proposed Spin-Offs; and (iii) the Proposed Spin-Offs, including the contemplated single-class voting structure, do not violate any fiduciary duties owed by Mr. Diller or any other IAC director. See IAC/InterActiveCorp et ano. v. Liberty Media Corp., C.A. No. 3486 (Del. Ch. Ct).

        On January 24, 2008, Liberty commenced an essentially mirror-image action in the same court against IAC, Mr. Diller, and the other IAC directors who are not Liberty designees, seeking to enjoin the Proposed Spin-Offs and seeking declaratory relief that, among other things, (i) the Proposed Spin-Offs (including a single-class voting structure of the spun-off companies) violate IAC's charter; (ii) the IAC directors who are not Liberty designees have breached their fiduciary duties to IAC and its stockholders; (iii) IAC has materially breached the Governance Agreement; (iv) Mr. Diller has materially breached the Stockholders Agreement and his duties to Liberty in connection with the proxy thereunder; and (v) Mr. Diller's proxy to vote Liberty's IAC shares has automatically terminated. See Liberty Media Corp. v. Barry Diller et al., C.A. No. 3491 (Del. Ch. Ct.).

        On January 28, 2008, various Liberty-affiliated entities (i) purporting to exercise rights as IAC stockholders, purportedly amended the Company's bylaws, removed Mr. Diller and six other IAC directors, and replaced them with three additional Liberty designees, and (ii) commenced a separate action under Section 225(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking declaratory relief that their actions were valid and effective. See LMC Silver King, Inc. et al. v. IAC/InterActiveCorp et al., C.A. No. 3501 (Del. Ch. Ct.) (the "Section 225 Action"). The Section 225 Action and the other two lawsuits described above have been consolidated as In re IAC/InterActiveCorp, Consol. C.A. No. 3486 (Del. Ch. Ct.).

        Also on January 28, 2008, the plaintiffs in the Section 225 Action moved for an order enjoining IAC and its affiliates from taking any action outside their routine day-to-day operations without prior notice to the plaintiffs. On January 30, the defendants in the Section 225 Action opposed the plaintiffs' motion and moved to dismiss the case. On February 1, the court heard argument on the motions and directed the parties to prepare a proposed order that would adequately maintain the status quo without unduly hampering IAC's ability to operate pending resolution of the lawsuits.

        On February 14, 2008, the court, on consent of the parties, issued an "Order to Maintain the Status Quo" (the "Order"), which, among other things, declared that until such time as there is a final, non-appealable judgment in the case, IAC's Board of Directors shall remain comprised as it was prior to the commencement of this litigation, with Mr. Diller continuing to serve as the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, without giving effect to the Liberty-affiliated entities' purported exercises of stockholder rights on January 28, including their purported amendment of the Company's bylaws. The Order also provides that the Company may not take certain specified actions outside its routine day-to-day operations without giving five business days' prior written notice to Liberty; such actions include implementation of the Proposed Spin-Offs.

2


        Following expedited discovery, a trial in the consolidated action was held on March 10-14, 2008. On March 28, 2008, the court issued a memorandum opinion and order ruling in favor of IAC, Mr. Diller and the six other purportedly removed directors in the Section 225 Action and dismissing that action with prejudice. The court also determined that Liberty does not have a right to consent to the Proposed Spin-Offs under the Stockholders Agreement, the Governance Agreement, Article IV(C) of IAC's certificate of incorporation, or the certificates of incorporation of the BDTV entities. The court also determined, and the parties agreed, that Liberty's claims that any actions by IAC's Board of Directors to authorize, proceed with and/or implement any spin-off transaction would violate the IAC directors' fiduciary duties (the "Fiduciary Claims") were not ripe for decision. On April 7, 2008, the court entered an order and judgment implementing its decision and reserving jurisdiction to adjudicate any Fiduciary Claims. The time to file an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court expires on May 7, 2008. To the Company's knowledge, no appeal has been filed by Liberty to date.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Philosophy and Objectives

        Our executive officer compensation program is designed to increase long-term stockholder value by attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding leaders with the competence, character, experience and ambition necessary to enable the Company to meet its growth objectives.

        Though IAC is a large, publicly traded company, we attempt to foster an entrepreneurial culture and environment, and attract and retain senior executives with entrepreneurial backgrounds, attitudes and aspirations. Accordingly, when attempting to recruit and retain our executive officers, as well as other company officers who may become executive officers at a later time, we compete not only with other public companies our size, but also earlier stage companies, companies funded by private equity firms, various investment vehicles and professional firms. We structure our compensation program so that we can compete in this varied marketplace for talent, with an emphasis on variable, contingent compensation and long-term equity ownership.

        While we consider compensation data in establishing broad compensation programs and practices, we do not specifically benchmark the compensation associated with particular executive positions, or definitively rely on competitive survey data in establishing executive compensation. The Company makes decisions based on a host of factors particular to a given executive situation, including its firsthand experience with the competition for recruiting executives, and believes that over-reliance on survey data, or a benchmarking approach, is too rigid for the dynamic marketplace for talent from which we draw to fill our executive ranks.

8


        Similarly, we believe that arithmetic approaches to establishing compensation levels and measuring and rewarding performance often fail to adequately take into account the multiple factors that contribute to success at the individual and business level. In any given period, the Company may have multiple objectives, and these objectives, and their relative importance, often change as the competitive and strategic landscape shifts. As a result, we believe formulaic approaches often over-compensate or under-compensate a given performance level. Accordingly, we have historically avoided the use of strict formulas in our compensation practices and have relied primarily on a discretionary approach.

        We do, however, believe that linking a portion of compensation to objectively measurable goals should play an important part in an overall compensation program. Thus, in February 2007 we conditioned the vesting of restricted stock units on the achievement of long-term corporate growth objectives in addition to continuous service requirements. In 2008, this shift toward objective performance measurement in our equity compensation program continued with the introduction of non-qualified stock options as the predominant equity award for our executive officers. Under both these programs, the Company determined the size of specific awards based on its subjective determination regarding an executive's past performance and future contribution potential, our retention objectives and competitive conditions, while the ultimate realization of value from the award would be directly dependent on objectively determinable corporate performance (as well as continued service with the Company). Given the prominence of equity in our overall program, a significant percentage of overall pay takes the form of objectively determinable, success-based, long-term compensation.

        We believe the Company's compensation program for executive officers, which includes a combination of subjective determinations regarding value and performance and objective measures of long-term corporate results, puts the substantial majority of compensation at risk, rewards both individual and corporate performance in a targeted fashion, pays amounts appropriate to attract and retain those key individuals necessary to grow the Company, and aligns the interests of our key executives with the interests of our owners. We continuously evaluate our program, and make changes as we deem appropriate.

Roles and Responsibilities

        The Compensation and Human Resources Committee (for purposes of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the "Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors has primary responsibility for establishing the compensation of the Company's executive officers. The composition of the Committee has not changed since May of 2006, and the members of the Committee are identified under The Board and Board Committees beginning on page 6.

        The executive officers participate in establishing Company-wide compensation programs, including the structure of bonus and equity programs and in establishing appropriate bonus and equity pools across the Company. At year-end, the CEO meets with the Committee and discusses his views of corporate and individual executive officer performance for the prior year and his recommendations for appropriate compensation packages for the individual executive officers. The CEO and the Committee discuss each individual recommendation. Following such discussion, the Committee meets without the CEO and discusses the CEO's recommendations and the CEO's compensation package, ultimately determining the compensation packages for each of the executive officers.

        In establishing an executive officer's compensation, each individual component is evaluated independently and in relation to the package as a whole. Prior earning histories and outstanding long-term compensation arrangements are also reviewed and taken into account. However, we do not believe in any formulaic relationship or targeted allocation between these elements. Instead, each individual's situation is evaluated on a case by case basis each year, considering the variety of relevant factors at that time.

9


        Neither the Company nor the Committee has an ongoing relationship with any particular compensation consulting firm. In certain instances involving matters of particular import, the Committee has solicited the advice of consulting firms. For example, in February of 2007, the Committee engaged Mercer Consulting regarding the Company's newly created performance based restricted stock unit program, and in 2005, Pearl Meyer & Partners advised the Committee regarding an equity compensation grant to Mr. Diller. In addition, from time to time, the Company may solicit survey or other data from a variety of firms and on certain occasions the Committee has engaged legal counsel.

Compensation Elements

        Our compensation packages for executive officers primarily consist of salary, annual bonuses, IAC equity awards, and in certain instances, perquisites and other benefits.

        Salary.    We typically negotiate a new executive officer's starting salary upon arrival, based on the executive's prior compensation history, prior compensation levels for the particular position within the Company, the Company's New York city location, salary levels of other executives within the Company, and salary levels available to the individual in alternative opportunities. Salaries can increase based on a number of factors, including the assumption of additional responsibilities and other factors which demonstrate an executive's increased value to the Company. These salary increases have generally occurred following year-end, concurrently with the establishment of bonuses for the prior year and equity grants, but can also occur at other times, depending on the circumstances. No executive officer salaries have been adjusted since February of 2006. Mr. Diller's annual salary of $500,000 reflects a salary reduction in August of 2005 as a result of Mr. Diller assuming the role of executive Chairman of Expedia, Inc. following its spin-off from the Company.

        General.    We establish bonus levels through a two-pronged process. First, at the beginning of the year, the Committee sets performance objectives tied to the achievement of EBITA or share price growth targets during the forthcoming year. In general, these targets are minimum acceptable growth conditions, but with respect to which there is substantial uncertainty when we establish them. If the Company meets the performance criteria, the executive becomes eligible for a maximum bonus award, which the Committee typically reduces based on a discretionary assessment of Company and, to a lesser extent, individual performance. In making its determinations regarding annual bonuses, the Committee considers a variety of factors such as growth in profitability or achievement of strategic factors and does not quantify the weight given to any specific element or otherwise follow a formulaic calculation. Rather, the Committee engages in an overall assessment of appropriate bonus levels based on a subjective interpretation of all the relevant criteria. This process is designed to permit the Company to deduct the bonus compensation paid to executives for income tax purposes.

        An individual's position is relevant in setting the parameters of incentive compensation, but individual performance is typically not the primary factor in determining an executive's precise payout in any particular year. Instead, we generally expect superior individual performance from our executive officers, and we endeavor to compensate our executive officers based on their objective achievements as a team.

        We generally pay bonuses shortly after year-end following finalization of financial results for the prior year.

        2007.    For 2007, executive officers received no bonuses. Neither of the performance objectives set by the Committee in early 2007 was met. We also considered whether there were other achievements

10



during 2007 for which it would be appropriate to award bonuses. Among the most significant factors we considered were:

        There were significant achievements in a variety of our businesses, but the overall disappointing performance led us to conclude that our executive officers should not receive bonuses for 2007.

        Executive officer bonuses tend to be highly variable from year-to-year. Because they can make up the significant majority of an executive officer's cash compensation when objectives are achieved, and can be eliminated entirely when they are not, we believe our bonus program provides strong incentives to reach the Company's annual goals.

        General.    Due to our entrepreneurial philosophy, we believe that providing a meaningful equity stake in our business is essential to create compensation opportunities that can compete, on a risk-adjusted basis, with entrepreneurial employment alternatives. In addition, we believe that ownership shapes behavior, and that by concentrating an executive officer's compensation in Company stock, we align the executive's incentives with our stockholders' interests in a manner that we believe drives superior performance over time.

        Our long-term incentive compensation program is structured accordingly, based, with only limited exceptions, in stock and stock equivalents of the Company. While there is currently no formal stock ownership or holding requirement for executive officers, our executive officers have historically held the majority of their stock awards (net of tax withholding) well beyond the relevant vesting dates.

        In establishing equity awards in any given year, the amount of outstanding unvested and/or unexercised equity awards, as well as previously earned or exercised awards, is reviewed, but their relevance varies from individual to individual. In setting particular award levels, the predominant considerations are providing the person with effective retention incentives, appropriate reward for past performance, and incentives for strong future performance. Appropriate levels to meet these goals may vary from year to year, and from individual to individual, based on a variety of factors.

        The annual corporate performance factors relevant to setting bonus amounts that were discussed above, while taken into account, are generally less relevant in setting annual equity awards, as the awards tend to be more forward looking, and are a longer-term retention and reward instrument than our annual bonuses.

        Except where otherwise noted, we grant equity awards following year-end after we have finalized our financial results for the prior year. The Committee meeting at which the awards are made is generally scheduled months in advance and without regard to the timing of the release of earnings or other material information. In 2008, due to the Liberty litigation (see Part I—Item 3 Legal Proceedings—Recent Litigation between IAC and Liberty Media Corporation), we delayed the establishment of executive officer equity awards until the receipt of the court's decision, and awards were granted in early April.

11


        Annual and Cliff Vesting Restricted Stock Units.    Until 2008 (and with the exception of a 2005 option grant to Mr. Diller (discussed below) and the receipt of certain shares of restricted stock by Mr. Lebda (discussed below)), the Company has used restricted stock units, or RSUs, as its exclusive equity compensation tool for executive officers since the beginning of 2003. Through 2006, these awards generally vested in equal annual installments over 5 years (annual vesting RSUs), or cliff vested at the end of five years (cliff-vesting RSUs). Annual awards were intended to provide frequent rewards and near-term retention incentives, while cliff-vesting RSUs provided more of a long-term retention mechanism.

        Growth Shares.    In February 2007, we implemented a new equity instrument ("Growth Shares") which cliff vests at the end of three years in varying amounts depending upon growth in the Company's publicly reported metric, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, with certain modifications ("Pro Forma AEPS"). If minimum growth thresholds in Pro Forma AEPS are not achieved, the RSUs are forfeited, while increasing numbers of shares vest depending on higher levels of growth. In all, the number of shares vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the initial "target" award.

        We introduced these awards throughout the Company to more closely link long-term reward with the Company's overall performance and to provide greater retentive effect by providing the opportunity to earn greater amounts through increased Company performance.

        The Growth Shares granted in February of 2007 have the following vesting characteristics:

Award Vesting (%)
  2009
Pro Forma AEPS

  Compound Annual
Growth Over 2006
Pro Forma AEPS (%)

 
0 %   <$2.09   8 %
100 %   $2.21   10 %
200 %   >$2.69   17.5 %

        For each penny of Pro Forma AEPS above $2.08 and below $2.21, 5.56% of an award vests, and for each penny of Pro Forma AEPS above $2.21 and up to $2.69 an additional 2.08% above the "target" award vests, up to a maximum of 200% of "target".

        Pro Forma AEPS is Adjusted Earnings Per Share as reported in the Company's periodic earnings releases, excluding the results of the Company's Emerging Businesses segment. We chose Adjusted EPS as the metric on which to base this aspect of our compensation program because we believe it is the measure which best encompasses both operating performance and sound financial management of the Company in its current structure, and which, over time, should best correlate with shareholder value. Under certain circumstances, the Committee has discretion to adjust the relevant performance thresholds or to eliminate them entirely if it believes appropriate. This is generally intended to eliminate the impact of unforeseen events that do not accurately reflect, positively or negatively, the underlying growth performance of the Company. We chose to subtract the results of our Emerging Businesses segment, which are typically negative, to avoid creating a deterrent to investing in new businesses.

        Messrs. Kaufman, Lebda, McInerney and Blatt each received 62,735 RSUs based on "target" performance in February 2007.

        Spin-Off Adjustments.    In November of 2007, the Committee made preliminary determinations about how the Company's then existing equity awards would be treated in the Company's proposed spin-off transactions, expected to be completed later in 2008. The adjustments for equity awards held

12



by Company employees in the Corporate group, including the Company's executive officers (other than Mr. Diller), will be as follows:

        In determining these adjustments, the Committee considered a number of factors.

        First, the Committee believed that equity earned prior to the proposed spin-off transactions should be received in all the post-spin-off companies, as this was the reasonable expectation of the employees during the relevant service period. Because the transactions were expected to occur in the second half of the year, but without a specific date, and because the majority of Company equity awards vest in February, the Committee determined to eliminate any arbitrary timing consequences by accelerating February 2009 vesting to the date of the proposed spin-off to ensure that all of 2008 service would be compensated in the equity of all the post-transaction companies. Additionally, all awards with long-term vesting schedules would be bifurcated, with those portions earned through February 2009 being split into all the post-transaction companies, with the remaining portion converting into the ongoing employer on the original vesting schedule.

        Second, the Committee believed that, given the complexities of four simultaneous spin-off transactions, maintaining the formulaic vesting schedule of the 2007 Growth Shares by converting the established Pro Forma AEPS targets of the Company into five separate Pro Forma AEPS targets correlating to each of the resulting businesses would be difficult on a fair and equitable basis. Additionally, one of the principal rationales for the original awards was to focus employees throughout the Company's disparate businesses on the performance of the Company as a whole, rather than solely on that of their individual business. Since the decision to distribute many of those individual businesses to the Company's shareholders represented a shift in corporate philosophy, that rationale no longer held. In considering how to treat the awards, the Committee recognized that performance during the first ten months of 2007 had been below expectations, but also that the vesting of the awards was triggered solely by performance during 2009. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that it could not determine with any confidence whether the awards would have vested at, below or above target levels, and therefore determined to treat the awards similarly to how it would have been required to do in a change of control transaction, by eliminating the performance condition and assigning them the "target" value, but no less and no more.

13


        Third, the Committee recognized that transactions such as this had the potential to cause uncertainty to employees about their personal job security which could had negative effects on turnover and retention, so the Committee structured the adjustments to provide both an incentive to remain until completion of the transactions, and protection against job loss as a result of the transactions.

        Finally, the Committee structured the adjustments to be in compliance with the applicable provisions of the relevant equity plans and to minimize any negative tax and accounting implications to both employees and the Company.

        The Committee may change the nature of the adjustments in the event the transactions are consummated in a materially different manner than originally contemplated. Additionally, the adjustments to be applied to Mr. Diller's outstanding option awards will be determined once it is determined what roles, if any, he will play in any of the companies IAC intends to spin-off.

        Presuming the spin-off transactions occur prior to February 2009, the following table reflects the effect of these adjustments on all equity awards of Messrs. Kaufman, McInerney and Blatt which were outstanding prior to 2008. The treatment of Mr. Lebda's outstanding awards is discussed below.

        2008 Equity Awards.    In 2008, we determined to introduce nonqualified stock options as the primary equity incentive vehicle for our executives and other equity eligible employees. In 2007 when the Company introduced Growth Shares and began to emphasize a central performance component in its long-term incentive program, we decided to rely on a mix of operating performance and stock performance in determining the ultimate reward to employees. This was in part driven by the Company's recent history during which stock performance had not been consistent with operating performance. However, with the proposed spin-off transactions, and the resulting simplification of the Company's current conglomerate structure, we believe that over the next few years the stock performance should more closely parallel operating performance at the companies that will result from the transactions. Accordingly, we determined to switch to stock options because of their simplicity, their increased emphasis on stock performance, and a belief that it would, in general, make the Company more competitive in recruiting talented executives and employees.

        Accordingly, in January 2008 we granted stock options to a number of employees throughout the Company, with an exercise price of $22.97, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the trading day following our announcement of 2007 results. Because of the Liberty litigation, we did not grant options to our executive officers until April. At that time, we granted 500,000 stock options to each of Mr. Kaufman, Mr. McInerney and Mr. Blatt, with one third of the options having exercises prices of $23 per share, $26 per share and $29 per share, respectively. These exercise prices were established as being generally representative of recent closing stock prices of the Company, which had traded between $20.73 and $29.74 during the six months preceding the grant date.

        Additionally, these executives were granted 24,119 restricted stock units that will vest over the next four years.

14


        Collectively, we believe these awards provide meaningful retention and performance incentives, in part necessitated by the significant vesting of awards expected to occur later this year.

        Equity Awards of Mr. Diller.    In June of 2005, the Committee awarded Mr. Diller 2.4 million stock options with an exercise price of $35.58 per share (representing approximately 130% of the market price of the Company's stock on the grant date) and 1.4 million stock options with an exercise price of $47.90 per share (representing approximately 175% of the market price of the Company's stock on the grant date). All of these options cliff vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to certain acceleration terms described below. As part of this grant, Mr. Diller and the Committee agreed that Mr. Diller would not receive additional equity compensation for a five-year period. As a result, Mr. Diller has not received additional Company equity awards, or any other long-term incentive compensation, since this grant.

        In making this grant to Mr. Diller, the Committee considered that Mr. Diller received certain option grants from IAC in 1995 and 1997 and until 2005 had not received any subsequent equity grants from IAC. A majority of those options were set to expire in 2005, with the remainder set to expire in 2007. As the first expirations neared, the Committee determined it was in the best interest of the Company to continue to provide Mr. Diller a long-term incentive structure similar to the one that had been in place during the prior ten years, a period of considerable and sustained growth for the Company. As a result, the Committee and Mr. Diller initially explored the possibility of simply extending the expiration dates of Mr. Diller's existing options. However, they concluded that doing so might deprive the Company of the tax deduction associated with the exercise of some of these options. Because that tax deduction was of considerable value to the Company, they declined to pursue that alternative.

        Instead, the Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners to evaluate various long-term incentive alternatives, settling ultimately on that described above. In coming to this determination, the Committee took into account a variety of factors, including:

        The Committee also considered the value anticipated to be realized by Mr. Diller from his exercise of stock options in 2005 and 2007, but given that these options had all been granted eight to ten years before, and had long since vested, the Committee considered the realization of this value at these particular times to be primarily a function of both personal investment decisions by Mr. Diller and the timing of the relevant option expiration dates, and not compensation for the periods in which it would be realized.

        Mr. Diller also holds a substantial number of Company shares, 4.5 and 3.2 million of which were acquired in 2005 and 2007, respectively, as a result of option exercises immediately prior to the expiration of such options (representing 100% of the shares remaining after payment of exercise price and associated taxes).

15


        Equity Awards of Mr. Lebda.    Mr. Lebda became an executive officer at the end of 2005, pursuant to an agreement that became effective on January 1, 2006. Previously, Mr. Lebda served as the founder and Chief Executive Officer of LendingTree, a formerly public company acquired by IAC in 2003. In January of 2008, in contemplation of the proposed spin-off transactions, Mr. Lebda entered into another employment agreement with the Company, pursuant to which he became the Chairman and CEO of the Company's Lending and Real Estate businesses, and continued in his role as President and COO of the Company on a transitional basis. Parts of Mr. Lebda's equity compensation arrangements were negotiated in connection with each of the 2003, 2006 and 2008 employment agreements as inducements for him to undertake the various responsibilities assigned to him by the Company.

        In connection with the Company's acquisition of LendingTree in 2003, Mr. Lebda received shares of LendingTree restricted common stock. These shares equaled 4.25% of the outstanding common stock of LendingTree, vesting 40% on August 8, 2005, and 20% on each of August 8, 2006, August 8, 2007, and February 8, 2008. The Company holds its interest in LendingTree through preferred stock with a face value at the time of acquisition equal to the purchase price of $734 million, accreting annually at a preferred dividend rate, and through shares of common stock. Mr. Lebda has the right to sell his LendingTree stock to the Company beginning in early 2009, and the Company has the right to buy his LendingTree shares beginning in early 2011, with value to be determined by agreement of Mr. Lebda and the Company, or if no agreement can be reached, by an independent appraiser.

        When the Company asked Mr. Lebda to become an executive officer of the Company in 2005, it desired to align his interests more with the Company's stockholders and reduce his incentive to focus disproportionately on the LendingTree business. Nonetheless, Mr. Lebda, as founder of LendingTree, did not wish to fully surrender the upside potential of his LendingTree stock. A negotiation ensued, in which the Company and Mr. Lebda agreed that if Mr. Lebda continued his employment through 2008, he would vest in 50% of his original LendingTree shares, would forfeit 50% of his original LendingTree shares, and would vest in 500,000 shares of Company common stock. This was accomplished by exchanging 25% of Mr. Lebda's LendingTree shares for 200,000 shares of Company restricted stock, and establishing a right by which he can exchange an additional 25% of his LendingTree shares for 300,000 shares of Company stock in early 2009. While the agreement relating to his equity arrangements provided for certain other compensation possibilities, due to the decline in value of Lending Tree resulting from the conditions in the credit and real estate markets, these other possibilities are now extremely unlikely.

        Under his 2008 agreement, Mr. Lebda was granted the right to receive, upon consummation of the spin-off of Lending Tree, restricted stock units in Lending Tree equal to 2% of the fully diluted equity of the company, as well as four grants of options, each of which represented the right to acquire 2.5% of the fully diluted equity of the Company at exercise prices representing a total equity value of the company of $250 million, $300 million, $400 million and $450 million, with possible upward adjustments based on the initial trading value in the spin-off transaction. Fully diluted equity will be measured at the time of the proposed spin-off. The restricted stock units vest equally over five years, while the stock options all cliff vest at the end of five years, subject to acceleration as described in the Severance section below.

        Mr. Lebda's 2008 agreement also provides for the acceleration of vesting of his IAC equity awards upon the earlier of (i) the spin-off of LendingTree, (ii) if earlier, upon the spin-offs of HSN, Interval and Ticketmaster, (iii) upon Mr. Lebda's termination of employment described in the Change in Control section below or (v) upon Mr. Lebda's termination of employment as described in the Severance section below.

16


Change of Control

        In general, we believe that our executive officers other than Mr. Diller should receive full acceleration of their unvested equity in the event of a change of control. Our executive officers are the individuals who would generally be responsible for bringing about such a transaction, but are also the individuals whose positions are most likely to be jeopardized if such a transaction were to occur. Accordingly, through enabling acceleration, we provide for stability of senior management during a time of great importance to shareholders. Because Mr. Diller generally has the power to determine whether a change of control transaction ultimately transpires, there is little risk that other executive officers could bring about such a transaction for the purposes of realizing acceleration of their equity awards.

        Our change of control definition in our equity plan does not include the acquisition of control by Liberty (which is defined to include the reacquisition by Liberty of voting power over its shares upon the loss of the proxy over such shares held by Mr. Diller). However, our executive officers other than Mr. Diller are provided with full acceleration of vesting in the event they are involuntarily terminated following such an acquisition. Given the nature of Mr. Diller's voting arrangement with Liberty, such an acquisition could occur suddenly and without warning. Since the executive officers are the individuals whose employment experience would change most substantially and immediately in such an event, providing this protection helps the Company realize the full retentive effect of our equity program. However, because of the unique nature of Liberty's relationship with the Company, and the manner in which such a change of control could occur, a double-trigger mechanism is employed, rather than the single trigger otherwise applicable to executive officers, to provide for continuity of management following such an event.

        If there is a change of control, Mr. Diller's 2005 option agreement provides for the acceleration of a number of his 2005 options equal to 20% of the original award plus an additional 20% for each completed year of service since the grant. This acceleration structure was intended to approximate the result that would have ensued if, instead of receiving a multi-year option grant, he had received smaller annual grants during the 5-year vesting period, each with full acceleration upon a change in control. Change of control for purposes of Mr. Diller's 2005 options has the meaning set forth in the IAC 2005 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan; provided that it excludes any situation in which Mr. Diller retains sufficient voting power such that, taking into account all of the circumstances, he effectively controls the election of a majority of the Board.

        Though Mr. Diller receives some acceleration of his unvested options if there is a change of control, the premium pricing on his options, plus his considerable direct Company stock ownership, provide significant comfort that any transaction triggering such acceleration would be approved by Mr. Diller because he believed it was in the best interest of stockholders, and not out of his desire to bring about acceleration of his stock options.

        In addition to the equity acceleration upon a change of control described above, pursuant to Mr. Lebda's 2008 employment agreement, if the Company sells a controlling interest in, or substantially all of the assets of, LendingTree prior to the company being spun-off, Mr. Lebda may terminate his employment and upon the later of the sale or such termination, the Company will pay Mr. Lebda an amount equal to 1% of the consideration received by the Company in the sale transaction and any unvested IAC equity held by Mr. Lebda will vest in full upon such termination of employment.

Severance

        We generally provide executive officers with some amount of salary continuation and some amount of equity acceleration in the event of involuntary terminations of an executive officer's employment. Because we tend to promote our executive officers from within, after competence and commitment have generally been established, we believe the likelihood of equity acceleration is typically low, and yet

17



we believe that through providing this benefit we increase the retentive effect of our equity program, which serves as our most important retention incentive. In no instance do we provide acceleration of equity in the event an executive voluntarily resigns from the Company. For purposes of this discussion, we use the term "involuntary termination" to mean both a termination by the Company without "cause" and a resignation by the executive for "good reason" or similar construct.

        In the event of an involuntary termination of Mr. Diller's employment, which, due to his control of the Company, could occur in an extremely limited number of circumstances, Mr. Diller's 2005 option agreement provides that he would vest in the number of options he would have vested in had his option grant vested on an annual basis, as opposed to cliff vesting at the end of five years.

        Mr. Lebda's 2008 agreement provides for continuation of base salary for the lesser of three years or the remaining term of his agreement and for acceleration of all outstanding equity awards upon an involuntary termination. In addition, if Mr. Lebda terminates his employment due to a delay until March 2009 in filing documents with the SEC relating to, or decision not to proceed with, the LendingTree spin-off, Mr. Lebda will receive six months of salary continuation and the acceleration of vesting of his IAC equity.

Other Compensation

        General.    We provide our CEO with various non-cash benefits as part of his overall compensation program. Under certain limited circumstances, other executive officers have also received non-cash benefits. The value of these benefits is calculated under appropriate rules and is taken into account as a component of compensation when establishing overall compensation levels. The value of all non-cash benefits are reported under the heading "Other Annual Compensation" in the Summary Compensation Table pursuant to applicable rules. With the exception of the deferral of Mr. Diller's 1997 bonus (described below), our executive officers do not participate in any deferred compensation or retirement program other than the Company's 401(k) plan. We generally do not, and did not in 2007, gross-up any benefits provided to any executive officer. Other than those described specifically below, our executive officers do not partake in any benefit programs, or receive any significant perquisites, distinct from the Company's other employees.

        Mr. Diller.    Pursuant to Company policy, Mr. Diller is required to travel, both for business and personal purposes, on corporate aircraft. In addition to serving general security interests, this means of travel permits him to travel non-stop and without delay, to remain in contact with the Company while he is traveling, to change his plans quickly in the event Company business requires, and to conduct confidential Company business while flying, be it telephonically, by e-mail or in person. These interests are similarly furthered on both business and personal flights, as Mr. Diller typically provides his services to the Company while traveling in either case. Nonetheless, the incremental cost to the Company of his travel for personal purposes is reflected as compensation to Mr. Diller from the Company, and taken into account in establishing his overall compensation package.

        Additionally, the Company provides Mr. Diller the use of certain automobiles for business and personal purposes, and provides certain Company-owned office space and IT equipment for use by certain individuals who work for Mr. Diller personally. These uses are valued by the Company at their incremental cost to the Company or, in the case of the use of office space, where there is no discernable incremental cost, at the cost used for internal allocations of office space for corporate purposes.

        In 1997, Mr. Diller and IAC agreed to defer the payment of a bonus in the original amount of $2.5 million that otherwise was to be paid to Mr. Diller in 1997. The deferred bonus amount accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum. Interest in the amount of $186,682 was accrued in 2007, and $4,503,236, representing the outstanding amount of the bonus plus accrued interest, was paid to Mr. Diller on the due date, September 5, 2007. In addition, in 1995, the Company provided Mr. Diller with an interest-free loan in the amount of $4,997,779, the proceeds of which were used to acquire Company stock. Imputed interest on the loan is treated as income to Mr. Diller. The loan was due and paid on September 5, 2007.

18


        Mr. Kaufman.    Mr. Kaufman is entitled to use corporate aircraft for a certain amount of personal travel annually. However, Mr. Kaufman reimburses the Company for the Company's incremental cost of such travel and therefore the value of such travel is not treated as compensation to Mr. Kaufman. Typically, Mr. Kaufman's spouse accompanies him on personal and business flights, at no incremental cost to the Company.

Tax Deductibility

        Whenever possible, we endeavor to structure our compensation program in such a manner so that the compensation we pay is deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Because of the use of performance conditions in connection with our equity awards and annual bonuses, and the fact that no salaries are in excess of $1 million, these three components are generally deductible to the Company. Nonetheless, certain equity grants that were made to Mr. Lebda and Mr. McInerney prior to the time they became executive officers did not have performance conditions associated with them, and so are not now deductible to the Company at the time they vest. Additionally, under applicable IRS rules, the personal use of corporate aircraft leads to a disallowance of the deduction of certain airplane-related costs.

Reflects the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, in accordance with SFAS 123R, for restricted stock units and stock options awarded in and prior to 2006 and 2007, respectively, under the Company's stock and annual incentive plans. These amounts do not, therefore, represent the value of equity compensation awarded or realized in the relevant years. For further discussion of the Company's accounting for its equity compensation plans, see note 4 of the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008. For information on awards made and realized in 2007, see the Grants of Plan-Based Awards and Option Exercises and Stock Vested tables.

Reflects Growth Shares, a type of performance-based RSU award. Growth Shares cliff vest at the end of three years in varying amounts depending upon growth in Pro Forma AEPS. If minimum growth thresholds in Pro Forma AEPS are not achieved in 2009, the RSUs are forfeited, while increasing numbers of shares vest depending on higher levels of growth. In all, the number of shares vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the initial "target" award, with 5.56% of the target payout vesting upon achieving the minimum growth threshold.

(2)
RSU award recipients would be credited with amounts for cash dividends paid on IAC common stock, with such additional amounts vesting concurrently with the related RSU award. For information on the treatment of RSU awards granted to our named executives upon a termination of employment or a change in control, see the discussion under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.

(3)
The fair value of equity incentive plan awards is based on the target amount and calculated using the closing price of IAC common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date listed above.

        The table below provides information regarding various equity awards held by our named executives as of December 31, 2007. The market value of all RSU and restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of IAC common stock as of December 31, 2007 ($26.92).

For a discussion regarding the preliminary determination of how these equity awards would be treated in the Company's previously announced spin-off transactions, which are expected to be completed later in 2008, see Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

On August 9, 2005, the Company completed the separation of its travel and travel-related businesses and investments (other than Interval and TV Travel Shop) into an independent public company (the "Expedia Spin-Off"). In connection with the Expedia Spin-Off, each then vested option to purchase shares of IAC common stock was converted into an option to purchase shares of IAC common stock and an option to purchase shares of Expedia common stock. Adjustments were made to the number of shares subject to each IAC and Expedia stock option to give effect to the one-for-two reverse stock split effected in connection with the Expedia Spin-Off and to the corresponding exercise prices based on the relative market capitalizations of IAC and Expedia at the time of the Expedia Spin-Off. The adjusted IAC and Expedia stock options otherwise have the same terms and conditions, including exercise periods, as the corresponding vested IAC stock options outstanding immediately prior to the Expedia Spin-Off.

For the named executives (other than Mr. Diller), any value realized upon the exercise of Expedia stock options is treated for tax purposes as compensation payable to them in their respective capacities as executive officers of the Company. Accordingly, information regarding Expedia stock options held by our named executives (other than Mr. Diller) as of

        The table below provides information regarding the number of shares acquired by our named executives upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of RSU awards and the related value realized, in each case, excluding the effect of any applicable taxes. The dollar value realized upon exercise of stock options represents the difference between (i) the sale price of the shares acquired on exercise for simultaneous exercise and sale transactions or the closing price of IAC common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the exercise date in the case of Mr. Diller's exercise, as no simultaneous sale occurred, and (ii) the exercise price of the stock option, multiplied by the number of stock options that were exercised. The dollar value realized upon the vesting of RSUs represents the closing price of IAC common stock on the applicable vesting date multiplied by the number of RSUs so vesting.

In 1997, Mr. Diller and the Company agreed to defer the payment of a bonus in the original amount of $2.5 million that otherwise was to be paid to Mr. Diller in 1997. The deferred bonus amount, which was due and paid on September 5, 2007, accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The amount that appears in the Aggregate Earnings in Last FY column above represents interest accrued during 2007 through the payment date. As the interest on the bonus was not above market or otherwise preferential,

Upon a termination of employment or resignation for good reason following a Liberty Change in Control, each of Messrs. Lebda, McInerney and Blatt would also be entitled to receive continued salary in the amount of $750,000, $650,000 and $550,000, respectively.

(4)
Upon a termination without cause only.

(5)
Excludes, in all cases, LendingTree units held by Mr. Lebda (other than those that may potentially be exchanged for IAC common stock in 2009, which are assumed to have been exchanged and are reflected in the above table as shares of IAC common stock) that would accelerate upon the events set forth above, given that the value of these units as of December 31, 2007 was zero.

        Mr. Diller.    Upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason, on the one hand, or change in control, on the other hand, as of December 31, 2007, in accordance with the stock option agreement governing Mr. Diller's 2005 stock options, 1,520,000 (20% for each year of completed service since the grant) and 2,280,000 (20% of the original award, plus an additional 20% for each year of completed service since the grant) stock options, respectively, would have been accelerated and in the case of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason only, would have remained outstanding and exercisable for one year following termination. Given the closing price of IAC common stock on December 31, 2007 ($26.92), none of the accelerated stock options would have been in-the-money, and as a result, no amounts would have payable to Mr. Diller as of that date.

        Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements.    Each member of the Board receives an annual retainer in the amount of $45,000. Each member of the Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees (including their respective chairs) receives an additional annual retainer in the amount of $10,000 and $5,000, respectively. Lastly, the chairs of each of the Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees receives an additional annual chairperson retainer in the amount of $15,000. All amounts are paid quarterly, in arrears.

        In addition, each non-employee director receives a grant of 7,500 restricted stock units (or such lesser number of restricted stock units with a dollar value of $250,000) upon his or her initial election to the Board and annually thereafter upon re-election on the date of IAC's annual meeting of stockholders. The terms of these restricted stock units provide for (i) vesting in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, (ii) cancellation and forfeiture of unvested units in their entirety upon termination of Board service and (iii) full acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of IAC. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attendance at IAC Board and Committee meetings.

        The Compensation and Human Resources Committee has primary responsibility for establishing non-employee director compensation arrangements, which are designed to provide competitive compensation necessary to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors and to encourage ownership of Company stock to further align directors' interests with those of our stockholders. When considering non-employee director compensation arrangements, Company management provides the

27



Compensation and Human Resources Committee with information regarding various types of non-employee director compensation arrangements and practices of select peer companies.

        Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.    Under IAC's Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, non-employee directors may defer all or a portion of their Board and Board Committee fees. Eligible directors who defer all or any portion of these fees can elect to have such deferred fees applied to the purchase of share units, representing the number of shares of IAC common stock that could have been purchased on the relevant date, or credited to a cash fund. If any dividends are paid on IAC common stock, dividend equivalents will be credited on the share units. The cash fund will be credited with deemed interest at an annual rate equal to the weighted average prime lending rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank. After a director ceases to be a member of the Board, he or she will receive (i) with respect to share units, such number of shares of IAC common stock as the share units represent and (ii) with respect to the cash fund, a cash payment in an amount equal to deferred amounts, plus accrued interest. These payments will be made in either one lump sum or up to five installments, as previously elected by the eligible director at the time of the related deferral election.

        2007 Non-Employee Director Compensation.    The table below provides the amount of (i) fees earned by non-employee directors for services performed during 2007 and (ii) the dollar amount of the expense recognized during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for RSU awards granted both in and prior to 2007.

Item 12.    Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

        The following table presents, as of February 29, 2008, information relating to the beneficial ownership of common stock and Class B common stock, by (1) each person known by IAC to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock, (2) each current director, (3) each of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and three most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) who served in such capacities as of December 31, 2007 and (4) all executive officers and directors of IAC as a group.

        Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owners listed below may be contacted at IAC's corporate headquarters located at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. For each listed person, the number of shares of IAC common stock and percent of such class listed assumes the conversion or exercise of any IAC equity securities owned by such person that are or will become convertible or exercisable, and the vesting of any restricted stock units that will vest, within 60 days of February 29, 2008, but does not assume the conversion, exercise or vesting of any such equity securities owned by any other person. Shares of IAC Class B common stock may at the option of the holder be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of IAC common stock.

29


        The percentage of votes for all classes of capital stock is based on one vote for each share of common stock, two votes for each share of Series B preferred stock and ten votes for each share of Class B common stock. As of February 29, 2008, there were 758 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding, which shares collectively represented a de minimis percentage of the total voting power of the outstanding IAC capital stock as of this date. Based on statements filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, IAC does not know of any person who beneficially owns more that 5% of the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock. Accordingly, although the shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding are considered for purposes of determining total voting power, no information regarding holders of Series B preferred stock has been provided in the table.

An award of stock options exercisable for 2.2 million shares of IAC common stock, the total amount available under the 1999 Plan, at an exercise price of $25.09 per share,

was made in February 2000 to Dr. Georg Kofler in consideration of his entering into an employment arrangement with a German affiliate of HSN. These options vested over four years, with 25% vesting on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, and remain exercisable for ten years from the date of grant. Subject to applicable law, these options are freely transferable by the holders thereof by written notice to IAC, or by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

        The Audit Committee has a formal, written policy governing the review and approval of related person transactions, which was initially adopted in December 2006. For purposes of this policy, consistent with the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (the "Marketplace Rules"), the terms "related person" and "transaction" are determined by reference to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Item 404"). During 2007, in accordance with the policy then in effect, Company management was required to determine whether any proposed transaction, arrangement or relationship with a related person fell within the definition of "transaction" set forth in Item 404, and if so, submit such transaction to the Audit Committee for approval. The Audit Committee, in considering whether to approve related person transactions, would then consider all facts and circumstances that it deemed relevant.

        During 2007, the Audit Committee operated pursuant to standing pre-approvals under the policy governing the review and approval of certain ordinary course, arms' length transactions involving Liberty and/or its subsidiaries (and through February 2007, the Microsoft Corporation and/or its subsidiaries) (the "Pre-Approval"). Information on transactions entered into pursuant to the Pre-Approval that were reasonably expected to result in payments by or to the Company or one of its subsidiaries in excess of $500,000 were provided to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting following the execution or completion of the relevant transaction.

        During 2007, due to administrative error, the procedures summarized above were not followed in the case of arrangements between Arise Virtual Solutions and Interval. See Relationships Involving Directors.

Relationships Involving Named Executives

        Subject to the terms of an amended and restated stockholders agreement between Mr. Diller and Liberty, Mr. Diller has an irrevocable proxy to vote shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock held by Liberty and its affiliates. Accordingly, Mr. Diller is effectively able to control the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote or for the consent of IAC's stockholders (other than with respect to the election by the holders of IAC common stock of 25% of the members of IAC's Board of Directors and matters as to which Delaware law requires a separate class vote).

        In 1997, the Company and Mr. Diller agreed to defer repayment of an interest-free, secured, non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $4,997,779 due from Mr. Diller from September 5, 1997 to September 5, 2007. All amounts outstanding under this promissory note were repaid in 2007. In 1997, Mr. Diller and the Company also agreed to defer to September 2007 the payment of a bonus in the amount of $2.5 million that otherwise was to be paid to Mr. Diller in 1997. This bonus (including accrued interest) was paid in full in 2007. See Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation.

33


        In 2001, IAC and Mr. Diller entered into an agreement with respect to the construction of a screening room on Mr. Diller's property to assist Mr. Diller in connection with Company-related activities. Construction costs of approximately $1.8 million were paid by the Company and the agreement provides that under certain circumstances, including upon Mr. Diller's termination of employment by IAC or its affiliates, Mr. Diller shall have the option to pay to IAC an amount equal to the depreciated book value of the construction costs to acquire the facilities.

        Through May 2007, a subsidiary of IAC and Nineteen Forty CC Inc. ("Nineteen Forty"), a company owned by Mr. Diller, owned 77.2% and 22.8%, respectively, of an aircraft used by IAC. Through May 2007, IAC leased Nineteen Forty's interest in the aircraft for lease payments of approximately $53,000 per month and paid all operating and maintenance expenses relating to the aircraft, which amounts and terms were based on market terms for similar aircraft leases. IAC and Nineteen Forty sold their respective interests in the aircraft to a third party for a price determined through a competitive bidding process in May 2007, at which point the lease described above terminated in accordance with its terms.

        As of December 31, 2007, IAC had invested a total of approximately $1.5 million in an online start-up venture controlled by Mr. Kaufman. IAC has committed to invest a total of $2.0 million in the venture, which total investment would give IAC preferred stock convertible into 20% of the outstanding common stock of the venture. IAC has various approval rights over significant transactions, the right to appoint directors proportionate to its holdings and various forms of anti-dilution protection for its investment. It also has the option to purchase additional preferred stock for $20.0 million such that IAC would hold a 50% ownership percentage in the venture, the right to purchase Mr. Kaufman's shares on March 31, 2012 (or earlier under certain circumstances in the event that Mr. Kaufman is no longer the senior-most executive of the venture) at fair market value, and the right to put its investment to the venture at the time of the venture's first significant financing for the value of its stake implied by the terms of such financing, discounted by 30% to account for the illiquidity of the stock.

Relationships Involving Directors

        During 2007, one of IAC's businesses, Interval, made payments to Arise Virtual Solutions in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.2 million for call center services. Arise Virtual Solutions is a portfolio company of Accretive LLC, of which Mr. Bronfman is a partner.

        IAC acquired a majority stake in Front Line Management Group, Inc., an entertainment management firm ("Front Line"), in June 2007, in connection with which it agreed to sell a portion of its initial investment to Warner Music Group (which then held a less than 5% interest in Front Line). IAC sold this interest in Front Line to Warner Music Group in August 2007 for the same per share price that it paid for its initial investment, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110 million. Mr. Bronfman is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Warner Music Group. Also during 2007, one of IAC's businesses, HSN, made payments to a subsidiary of Warner Music Group in the aggregate amount of approximately $380,000 for music products.

Relationships Involving IAC and Expedia

        Overview.    Since the completion of the Expedia Spin-Off, IAC and Expedia have been related parties since they are under common control. In connection with the Expedia Spin-Off, IAC and Expedia entered into various agreements, including, among others, a separation agreement, a tax sharing agreement, an employee matters agreement and a transition services agreement. Summaries of the separation, tax sharing, employee matters and transition services agreements are set forth in IAC's Definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated June 20, 2005, and copies of each of these agreements

34


were filed as exhibits to IAC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005.

        Under the transition services agreement, IAC has agreed to provide certain assistance and services to Expedia on an interim, transitional basis, which during 2007 consisted primarily of assistance with governmental affairs and the leasing of certain office space by IAC to Expedia. Charges for assistance and services provided pursuant to this agreement are on a cost plus fixed percentage or hourly basis, as applicable. The aggregate amount billed to Expedia for assistance and services provided by IAC pursuant to this agreement for 2007 was approximately $340,000.

        In addition, in connection with and following the Expedia Spin-Off, IAC and Expedia have entered into certain other arrangements, including arrangements regarding the sharing of certain costs and the use and ownership of certain aircraft and various commercial agreements, including distribution and services agreements, among others, which are generally described below.

        Cost Sharing Arrangements.    Mr. Diller currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAC and Chairman of Expedia. In connection with the Expedia Spin-Off, IAC and Expedia had initially agreed, in light of Mr. Diller's senior role at both companies and his anticipated use of certain resources to the benefit of both companies, that certain expenses associated with such usage, as well as certain costs incurred by IAC in connection with the provision of certain benefits to Mr. Diller, would be shared equally through the end of 2006. Currently and in 2007, these cost sharing arrangements provide that IAC and Expedia cover 65% and 35% of these costs, respectively, which both companies agreed best reflects the allocation of actual time spent by Mr. Diller among the two companies. Expenses include costs for equipment dedicated to Mr. Diller's use and expenses relating to Mr. Diller's support staff, as well as costs attributable to personal use of aircraft and certain other costs. The aggregate amount of costs billed to Expedia pursuant to these arrangements was approximately $450,000 for 2007. Due to administrative error, approximately $85,000 in costs relating to Mr. Diller's personal use of aircraft was erroneously allocated to Expedia in 2007, for which IAC currently expects to make a cash payment to Expedia in 2008.

        Aircraft Agreements.    In connection with the Expedia Spin-Off, a subsidiary of IAC and Expedia entered into a time sharing agreement, pursuant to which Expedia used the aircraft jointly owned by a subsidiary of IAC and an affiliate of Mr. Diller through the sale of this aircraft in May 2007. Pursuant to the time sharing arrangement relating to this aircraft, Expedia paid IAC the maximum amount permitted under applicable Federal Aviation Association regulations for use of the aircraft, or roughly two times the actual fuel cost incurred in such usage, plus certain enumerated out-of-pocket expenses, which amounts are reflected under Cost Sharing Arrangements above.

        Each of IAC and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest in an aircraft that may be used by both companies. IAC and Expedia entered into an operating agreement that allocates the costs of operating and maintaining the aircraft between the parties based on the actual usage by each company, which costs are generally paid by each company to third parties in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement. On the fifth anniversary of the Expedia Spin-Off and annually thereafter, or at any time when Mr. Diller ceases to serve as Chairman of either IAC or Expedia, IAC will have a call right and Expedia will have a put right with respect to Expedia's interest in the aircraft, in each case at fair market value. IAC has the right to sell the aircraft on behalf of both parties.

        Members of this aircraft's flight crew are employed by an entity in which each of IAC and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest. IAC and Expedia have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits equally, for which they are separately billed. During 2007, total payments in the amount of approximately $500,000 were made to this entity by IAC.

        Commercial Agreements.    In connection with and following the Expedia Spin-Off, certain IAC subsidiaries entered into distribution and/or services agreements with certain Expedia subsidiaries. IAC believes that these arrangements have been negotiated on an arm's length basis. In addition, IAC believes that these arrangements, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, do not constitute a material contract to IAC. Those agreements that, individually or together with similar agreements, involve revenues to IAC in excess of $120,000, are discussed below.

        Pursuant to distribution agreements, certain IAC businesses have agreed to make available travel accommodations and promotional offers from various Expedia travel suppliers, as well as travel content and commerce links from an Expedia business. Expedia businesses have agreed to supply content for related search results and certain Expedia businesses have agreed to make commerce links, select ticketing and resort inventory and discount programs offered by various IAC businesses available to their customers. Distribution agreements typically involve the payment of fees (usually on a fixed, per transaction, revenue share or commission basis) from the party seeking distribution of the product or service to the party that is providing the distribution. Services agreements primarily involve call center support and advertising provided by IAC businesses, as well as travel services provided by Expedia businesses.

        During 2007, aggregate revenues received by IAC businesses from Expedia businesses pursuant to commercial agreements, primarily for call center services and advertising services, were approximately $8.2 million. Aggregate payments made by IAC businesses to Expedia businesses during this period pursuant to commercial agreements were less than $120,000 in 2007.

Relationships Involving IAC and Liberty Media Corporation

        Under the terms of an amended and restated governance agreement among IAC, Liberty and Mr. Diller, Liberty has the right to nominate two individuals for election to the Board, so long as certain stock ownership requirements applicable to Liberty are satisfied. Liberty's current designees are Mr. Berkman and Dr. Malone. Other than in his capacity as a director of IAC, Mr. Berkman does not have any direct or indirect interests in the Liberty/IAC agreements. In connection with his agreement to serve as Liberty's designee on IAC's Board, Liberty agreed to provide certain indemnities to Mr. Berkman.

        Also, under the amended and restated governance agreement, if IAC issues or proposes to issue shares of IAC common stock or IAC Class B common stock, Liberty has preemptive rights that generally entitle it to purchase a number of IAC common shares, subject to a cap, so that Liberty will maintain the identical ownership interest in IAC that Liberty held immediately prior to such issuance or proposed issuance. Liberty was not entitled to exercise any such preemptive rights during 2007, as its ownership level exceeded the established cap.

        In the ordinary course of business, and otherwise from time to time, IAC and its businesses have entered into arrangements, and may determine to enter into additional arrangements in the future, with Liberty and its affiliates. IAC believes that its existing business arrangements with Liberty and its affiliates, none of which involved payments to or from Liberty or its affiliates in excess of $120,000 in 2007, have been negotiated on an arm's length basis.

        In January 2008, IAC entered into a letter agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which Liberty agreed to certain restrictions on acquisitions by Liberty and its affiliates of additional securities of IAC following Liberty's acquisition of 14 million shares of IAC common stock from an institutional investor. The letter agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to IAC's Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on January 15, 2008.

        During 2008, Liberty was involved in legal proceedings adverse to IAC. See Part I—Item 3—Legal Proceedings—Recent Litigation between IAC and Liberty Media Corporation.

Director Independence

        Controlled Company Status.    Under the Marketplace Rules, the Board has a responsibility to make an affirmative determination that those members of its Board that serve as independent directors do not have any relationships with the Company and its businesses that would impair their independence. In connection with these determinations, the Board reviews information regarding

36


transactions, relationships and arrangements involving the Company and its businesses and each director that it deems relevant to independence, including those required by the Marketplace Rules. This information is obtained from director responses to a questionnaire circulated by Company management, Company records and publicly available information. Following these determinations, Company management monitors those transactions, relationships and arrangements that were relevant to such determinations, as well as solicits updated information potentially relevant to independence from internal personnel and directors, to determine whether there have been any developments that could potentially have an adverse impact on the Board's prior independence determinations.

        The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Berkman, Keough, Lourd, Martinez, Rattner and Spoon and Gen. Schwarzkopf is independent. In connection with this determination, the Board considered that IAC and its businesses in the ordinary course of business sell products and services to, or purchase products and services from, companies at which certain directors are employed as officers or serve as directors, or over which certain directors otherwise exert control. With the exception of Messrs. Berkman, Martinez and Spoon, all independent directors had relationships with entities that sell products and services to, or purchase products and services from, IAC and its businesses, and in each case, the relevant payments were below 5% of the recipient's consolidated gross revenues for the relevant year or $200,000 (whichever is more), which is the applicable threshold set forth in the Marketplace Rules.

        In addition, the Board considered the following relationships:

        Of the remaining directors, (i) Mr. Bronfman is affiliated with a entity to which an IAC business made payments for services in excess of 5% of such entity's consolidated gross revenues for 2007 (see Relationships Involving Directors), (ii) Messrs. Diller and Kaufman are executive officers of the Company, (iii) Dr. Malone is the Chairman of Liberty and (iv) Ms. Von Furstenberg is Mr. Diller's spouse. Given these relationships, none of these directors are independent.

        In addition to the satisfaction of the director independence requirements set forth in the Marketplace Rules, members of the Audit Committee and Compensation and Human Resources Committee also satisfied separate independence requirements under the current standards imposed by the SEC and the Marketplace Rules for audit committee members and by the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service for compensation committee members.

Item 14.    Principal Accountant Fees and Services

        The following table sets forth fees for all professional services rendered by Ernst & Young to IAC for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 
  2007
  2006
Audit Fees(1)   $ 6,400,000   $ 6,389,325
Audit-Related Fees(2)     1,527,000     1,217,000
   
 
  Total Audit and Audit-Related Fees     7,927,000     7,606,325
Tax Fees(3)     375,000    
Other Fees        
   
 
    Total Fees   $ 8,302,000   $ 7,606,325
   
 

(1)
Audit Fees include fees associated with the annual audit of IAC's consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, statutory audits, the review of IAC's periodic reports, accounting consultations, the review of SEC registration statements and consents and other services related to SEC matters. Statutory audits include audits performed for certain IAC businesses in various jurisdictions abroad, which audits are required by local law, as well as audits performed for certain IAC businesses in the United States, which audits are required by federal or state regulatory authorities.

(2)
Audit-Related Fees include fees for due diligence in connection with acquisitions, accounting consultations and benefit plan audits.

(3)
Tax Fees represent fees for an international tax planning project for one of IAC's businesses.

        The Audit Committee has a policy governing the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by IAC's independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of these services does not impair such firm's independence from IAC and its management. Unless a type of service to be provided by IAC's independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services in excess of pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In all pre-approval instances, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC rules regarding auditor independence.

        Effective January 1, 2007, all Tax services require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee has designated specific services that have the pre-approval of the Audit Committee (each of which is subject to pre-approved cost levels) and has classified these pre-approved services into one of three categories: Audit, Audit-Related and All Other (excluding Tax). The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will revise the list of pre-approved services from time to time. Pre-approved fee levels for all services to be provided by IAC's independent registered public accounting firm will be established periodically from time to time by the Audit Committee.

        Pursuant to the pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee may delegate its authority to grant pre-approvals to one or more of its members, and has currently delegated this authority to its Chairman. The decisions of the Chairman (or any other member(s) to whom such authority may be delegated) to grant pre-approvals must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services to management.
