Our executive officers will serve in such capacities until their respective successors have been duly elected and have been qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office. There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption.

 

During the past ten years, none of our directors or executive officers has had any involvement in any legal proceedings as would be material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity.

 

**Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance**

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (**Exchange Act**) requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16 forms they file.

 

Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year and written representations made to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2018, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met, with the exception of one Form 3 with respect to Gregory B. Maffei that was filed on an untimely basis.

**Item 11.   Executive Compensation.**

 

**Introduction**

 

This section sets forth information relating to, and an analysis and discussion of, compensation paid by our company to the following persons (who we collectively refer to as our **named executive officers**):

 

·                  Christopher W. Shean, our Chief Executive Officer and President; and

 

·                  Wade D. Haufschild, our Chief Financial Officer.

 

Pursuant to the services agreement, dated November 4, 2016, with Liberty Media (the **services agreement**), employees of Liberty Media perform management services for our company for a monthly fee, which is reviewed quarterly by the audit committees of our company and Liberty Media. As described above, our executive officers are comprised of Messrs. Shean, Haufschild, Baer and Rosenthaler, each of whom is an employee of Liberty Media and provides executive services to our company under the services agreement. Our executive officers are not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to any equity awards relating to our Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (**LEXEA**), and Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (**LEXEB**) (which we refer to LEXEA and LEXEB together as our **common stock**) that our compensation committee may determine to grant. Our named executive officers did not receive any equity awards relating to our common stock in 2018. Because we did not pay any cash compensation or grant any equity awards to Messrs. Baer and Rosenthaler with respect to 2018, Messrs. Baer and Rosenthaler are not considered “named executive officers” of our company for purposes of the Exchange Act and the rules adopted by the SEC.

 

**Compensation Discussion and Analysis**

 

***Compensation Overview***

 

*Services Agreement*

 

In connection with the November 4, 2016 split-off of our company from Qurate Retail (the **Expedia Holdings Split-Off**), we entered into the services agreement with Liberty Media in November 2016, pursuant to which Liberty Media provides to our company certain administrative and management services, and we pay Liberty Media a monthly management fee, the amount of which is subject to semi-annual review (and at least an annual review by our compensation committee). As a result, employees, including our named executive officers, who provide services to our company pursuant to the services agreement are not separately compensated by our company other than with respect to equity awards with respect to our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we accrued management fees payable to Liberty Media under the services agreement of $4.0 million.

 

*Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions; Setting Executive Compensation*

 

Mr. Shean did not have any role in making compensation decisions for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Prospectively, Mr. Shean may make recommendations with respect to any equity compensation to be awarded to our executive officers. As a result of the management fee paid to Liberty Media, the compensation committee does not expect to provide any cash compensation to the executive officers, rather it may determine to separately compensate the executive officers with equity incentive compensation. It is expected that our Chief Executive Officer, in making any related recommendations to our compensation committee, will evaluate the performance and contributions of each of our executive officers, given his respective area of responsibility, and, in doing so, will consider various qualitative factors such as:

 

·                  the executive officer’s experience and overall effectiveness;

 

·                  the executive officer’s performance;

 

·                  the responsibilities of the executive officer, including any changes to those responsibilities over the year; and

 

·                  the executive officer’s demonstrated leadership and management ability.

power of Liberty Expedia present and entitled to vote on its say-on-pay proposal approved, on an advisory basis, Liberty Expedia’s executive compensation, as disclosed in our proxy statement for the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. No material changes were implemented to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. In addition, at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years.

 

*Equity Incentive Compensation*

 

None of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, received any equity incentive compensation from our company during 2018. The equity awards held by our named executive officers and reported below in “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” (other than a one-time grant of 8,432 restricted stock units with respect to shares of LEXEA (the **2016 RSU award**) granted to Mr. Shean in 2016 after the Expedia Holdings Split-Off) were issued as a result of the anti-dilution adjustments applied to their outstanding equity awards relating to Qurate Retail’s former Liberty Ventures common stock at the time of the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, including their outstanding unvested multi-year grants described below.

 

Consistent with our compensation philosophy, our compensation committee believes in aligning the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders and may grant awards of stock-based incentive compensation in the future to further align their interests. This will ensure that our executives have a continuing stake in our long-term success.

 

The Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Effective November 4, 2016), as amended (the **incentive plan**), provides for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units (**RSUs**), stock appreciation rights (**SARs**) and performance awards. Our compensation committee has a preference for grants of stock options and awards of restricted stock or RSUs (as compared with other types of available awards under the incentive plan) based on the belief that they better promote retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. It is the policy of our compensation committee that stock options be awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, typically measured by reference to the closing price on the grant date.

 

Prior to the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, the Qurate Retail compensation committee (and prior to September 2011 when Liberty Media’s former parent company was split off from its former parent company, Qurate Retail, the Qurate Retail compensation committee) determined to make larger grants (equaling approximately four to five years’ value of the annual grants made in years prior to 2009) that vest between four and five years after grant, rather than making annual grants over the same period. These multi-year stock option grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire seven to ten years after grant to encourage executives to remain with the company over the long-term and to better align their interests with those of the stockholders. In that regard, multi-year awards were granted to our executive officers prior to the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, including to our named executive officers, and, accordingly, the multi-year awards were adjusted in connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the incentive plans under which they were granted.

 

*Policy on Restatements*

 

In those instances where we grant equity-based incentive compensation, we expect to include in the related agreement with the executive a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or SARs). That right will arise if (1) a material restatement of any of our financial statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of our compensation committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In determining the amount of such repayment or return, our compensation committee may take into account, among other factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected by the errors giving rise to the restatement. The cash, stock or other compensation that we may require the executive to repay or return must have been received by the executive during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the SEC, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement. The compensation required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or company stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise during that 12-month period of any SAR held by the executive or (B) upon the payment during that 12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is determined by reference to the value of

company stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the disposition during that 12-month period of company stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment during that 12-month period of any award of equity-based incentive compensation.

**Executive Compensation Arrangements**

 

***Christopher W. Shean***

 

*2016 RSU Award*

 

On December 15, 2016, our compensation committee granted to Mr. Shean 8,432 RSUs with respect to shares of LEXEA. The 2016 RSU award vests in three equal annual installments (each such installment, a **tranche**) on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date (each, a **Vesting Date**), in each case, subject to Mr. Shean being employed on the applicable Vesting Date.

 

If Mr. Shean’s employment with our company is terminated without cause (as defined in the incentive plan) before December 15, 2019, then a pro rata portion of each tranche that is not fully vested on the date of such termination (the **Termination Date**) will vest as of the Termination Date, such pro rata portion with respect to each such tranche to be equal to the product of (i) the number of RSUs in such tranche that are not vested on the Termination Date, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed from December 15, 2016 through the Termination Date plus an additional 365 calendar days, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire vesting period for such tranche (in no event to exceed the total number of unvested RSUs in such tranche as of the Termination Date). The vesting period for each tranche is the period that begins on December 15, 2016 and ends on the Vesting Date for such tranche.

 

If Mr. Shean’s employment with our company terminates by reason of his death or disability, any unvested portion of the RSUs, as well as any related unpaid dividend equivalents, will vest immediately.

 

If Mr. Shean’s employment with our company terminates for any reason other than a termination by our company without cause or as a result of his death or disability (as defined in the incentive plan), Mr. Shean will immediately forfeit any RSUs and related unpaid dividend equivalents that were unvested as of the date of his termination.

 

Upon a board change or control purchase (in each case, as defined in the incentive plan) after December 15, 2016, the incentive plan provides that the RSUs and any related unpaid dividend equivalents will vest in full.  If an approved transaction (as defined in the incentive plan) occurs after December 15, 2016, all outstanding, unvested RSUs, and any related unpaid dividend equivalents, will fully vest immediately before the consummation of the approved transaction.  In addition, if an approved transaction occurs after December 15, 2016, Mr. Shean’s award agreement provides that the compensation committee may not determine that the RSUs and any related unpaid dividend equivalents will remain unvested if new or substitute awards are given to Mr. Shean.

 

***Equity******Incentive******Plans***

 

The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to officers, employees, nonemployee directors and independent contractors for service to our company and to encourage those persons’ investment in our company. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted under the incentive plan (collectively, **awards**). The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 3,700,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. With limited exceptions, under the incentive plan, no person may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 500,000 shares of our common stock, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the incentive plan. In addition, no person may receive payment for cash awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million and no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $1.5 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. The incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board, other than awards granted to nonemployee directors which may be administered by our full board of directors or the compensation committee.

 

In connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, new equity incentive awards with respect to our common stock (**new Liberty Expedia awards**) were issued in connection with adjustments made to outstanding

equity incentive awards with respect to shares of Qurate Retail’s former Liberty Ventures common stock which had been granted to various directors, officers and employees and consultants of Qurate Retail and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the various stock incentive plans administered by the Qurate Retail board of directors or the compensation committee thereof. These new Liberty Expedia awards were issued pursuant to the Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan, as amended (the **transitional plan**), which governs the terms and conditions of the new Liberty Expedia awards but cannot be used to make any additional grants following the Expedia Holdings Split-Off.

 

***Pay Ratio Information***

 

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the total compensation of Mr. Shean, our chief executive officer on December 31, 2018, pursuant to the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.  We believe our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules. However, because these rules provide flexibility in determining the methodology, assumptions and estimates used to determine pay ratios and the fact that workforce composition issues differ significantly between companies, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies.

 

To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of November 1, 2018 (the **determination date**), which consisted of domestic U.S. and international employees, representing all full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees, including hourly employees, as well as interns, trainees and fixed-term contractors who are paid directly by our company and/or our consolidated subsidiaries, Expedia and Vitalize, LLC, on that date. Using information from our payroll records and foreign exchange rates in effect on the determination date, we then measured each employee’s compensation, consisting of (i) annualized base salary for non-hourly employees as of the determination date (or, for hourly employees, an annual salary based on hourly rates and total scheduled 2018 hours as of the determination date), (ii) annual cash bonuses at target and (iii) long-term equity incentive awards at target. We annualized the compensation of employees who were new hires or took a leave of absence in 2018. We did not annualize the compensation of our temporary or seasonal employees. In addition, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to the compensation information.

 

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee’s total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above.  The ratio of our chief executive officer’s total annual compensation to that of the median employee was as follows:

 
| Chief Executive Officer Total Annual Compensation                               |   | $   | 0      |   |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|-----|--------|--------|
| Median Employee Total Annual Compensation                                       |   | $   | 66,180 |   |
| Ratio of Chief Executive Officer to Median Employee   Total Annual Compensation |   | 0:1 |   |

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control**

 

The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment with our company had terminated or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2018, which was the last business day of our last completed fiscal year. In the event of such a termination or change in control, the actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these arrangements from time to time.

 

The amounts provided in the tables are based on the closing market price on December 31, 2018 for our LEXEA shares, which was $39.11 per share. The value of the options shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise price of the award and the applicable closing market price. Because the exercise prices of certain stock options held by Messrs. Shean and Haufschild were more than the closing market price of LEXEA shares on December 31, 2018, these options have been excluded from the table below. The value of the RSUs shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of unvested RSUs.

 

The circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout are described below and in the footnotes to the table (other than those described under “—Executive Compensation Arrangements,” which are incorporated by reference herein):

 

***Voluntary Termination***

 

Each of the named executive officers holds equity awards that were issued under the transitional plan, and Mr. Shean holds the 2016 RSU award which was issued under the incentive plan.  Under these plans and the related award agreements, in the event of a voluntary termination of his employment with our company for any reason, each named executive officer would only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date. Mr. Shean and Mr. Haufschild are not entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his respective employment for any reason.

 

***Termination for Cause***

 

All outstanding equity grants constituting options, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, and all equity grants constituting unvested RSUs under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer who is terminated for “cause.”  Unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, both the transitional plan (which governs the awards other than the 2016 RSU award) and the incentive plan define “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided that, if such termination is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), “cause” means a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement.

 

***Termination Without Cause***

 

Pursuant to the award agreement for the 2016 RSU award, Mr. Shean’s 2016 RSU award is subject to partial acceleration upon a termination of his employment without cause.  See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher W. Shean” above for additional entitlements.

 

Subject to the timely delivery of a general release agreement in favor of the company, Mr. Shean’s and Mr. Haufschild’s multi-year awards provide for vesting upon a termination of employment without cause of those options that would have vested during the 12-month period, or nine-month period in Mr. Haufschild’s case, following the termination date if such person had remained an employee, plus a pro rata portion of the remaining unvested options based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed through the termination date.

 

Mr. Shean and Mr. Haufschild are not entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination without cause.

 

***Death***

 

In the event of death of any of the named executive officers, the incentive plans and applicable award agreements provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements” above. None of the named executive officers is entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination due to death.

 

***Disability***

 

If the employment of any of the named executive officers is terminated due to disability, which is defined in the incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements provide for vesting

in full of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements” above. None of the named executive officers is entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon a termination due to disability.

 

***Change in Control***

 

In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting in full of Mr. Shean’s 2016 RSU award and any outstanding options held by the named executive officers.  A change in control is generally defined as:

 

·                  The acquisition by a non-exempt person (as defined in the incentive plans) of beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, other than pursuant to a transaction approved by our board.

 

·                  The individuals constituting our board over any two consecutive years in the case of periods following the termination of that certain Amended and Restated Transaction Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2016 (as amended, the **Transaction Agreement**), among our company, Qurate Retail (formerly named Liberty Interactive Corporation), John C. Malone and Leslie Malone and Barry Diller (the **Proxy Arrangement Termination Date**) (or any single year in the case of periods prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date) cease to constitute at least a majority of the board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the board to approve new members by approval of at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.

 

·                  Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were common stockholders of our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the company or the dissolution of the company.

 

In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to accelerate the existing equity awards of the named executive officers if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing awards.  For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that our named executive officers’ existing unvested equity awards would vest in full in the case of a change in control described in the last bullet.

 

With respect to Mr. Shean’s 2016 RSU award and any related unpaid dividend equivalents, our compensation committee may not determine to give new or substitute awards to Mr. Shean in lieu of acceleration.  See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher W. Shean” above.

**Director Compensation**

 

***Nonemployee Directors***

 

*Director Fees*

 

Each of our directors who is not an employee of, or service provider to, our company is paid an annual fee of $156,000 (which we refer to as the **director fee**) for 2019 ($153,000 for 2018), of which 50% is payable in cash and the balance is payable in RSUs or options to purchase shares of LEXEA, as elected by the director, which will vest one year from the grant date. See “—Director Equity Grants” below for information on the equity awards granted in 2018 to the nonemployee directors with respect to service on our board in 2019. Fees for service on our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee are the same for 2018 and 2019, with each member thereof receiving an additional annual fee of $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, for his participation on each such committee, except that the chairman of that committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $25,000, $15,000 and $15,000, respectively, for his participation on that committee. The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

 

*Equity Incentive Plans*

* *

As discussed above, awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the incentive plan are currently administered by our full board of directors. Our board has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to our nonemployee directors and independent contractors, among others, and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. Our board may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the incentive plan.

 

As described above, in connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, our board adopted the transitional plan, which governs the terms and conditions of awards issued in the Expedia Holdings Split-Off in connection with adjustments made to awards previously granted by Qurate Retail with respect to its former Liberty Ventures common stock.

 

In 2018, each of our nonemployee directors was given a choice of receiving his annual equity grant in the form of RSUs or options.

 

*Director Equity Grants*

* *

Pursuant to our director compensation policy described above and the incentive plan, on December 13, 2018, Messrs. Brett, Engles and Schoelzel and our former directors, Messrs. Hammond and von Furstenberg, each received a grant of 1,837 RSUs with respect to LEXEA shares. The RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and, unless our board determines otherwise, will be terminated without vesting if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date. As approved by our board, awards held by our former Series B Directors vested in full on April 15, 2019, which was the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date.

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

 

**Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners**

 

The following table sets forth information concerning shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each person or entity known by us to own more than five percent of the outstanding shares of any series of our common stock. All of such information is based on publicly available filings.

 

The security ownership information is given as of February 28, 2019, and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon 54,496,831 LEXEA shares and 2,830,174 LEXEB shares, in each case, outstanding on February 28, 2019. The percentage voting power is presented on an aggregate basis for all series of common stock.

 

Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after February 28, 2019 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person.

**Security Ownership of Management**

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive officers and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group of shares of (1) each series of our common stock (LEXEA and LEXEB) and (2) the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (**EXPE**), of Expedia, which was our consolidated subsidiary as of February 28, 2019. None of our directors or named executive officers own shares of Expedia’s Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (**Expedia class B common stock**, and together with EXPE, the **Expedia Common Shares**). The security ownership information with respect to our common stock is given as of February 28, 2019 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon 54,496,831 LEXEA shares and 2,830,174 LEXEB shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. The security ownership information with respect to Expedia is given as of February 28, 2019, and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based on 134,390,305 EXPE shares and 12,799,999 shares of Expedia class B common stock, in each case, outstanding on January 25, 2019. The percentage voting power is presented in the table below on an aggregate basis for all series of common stock.

 

Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after February 28, 2019 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person. For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of LEXEB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of LEXEA, are reported as beneficial ownership of LEXEB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LEXEA. So far as is known to us, the persons indicated below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares indicated as owned by them, except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

(1)                                 Pursuant to that certain Proxy and Voting Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2016 (the **Malone Proxy**), by and among Mr. Malone and Leslie Malone (together, the **Malone Group**) and Barry Diller (**Diller**), Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC/InterActive Corp and Chairman and Senior Executive of Expedia, Mr. Malone and his wife had granted Diller an irrevocable proxy over the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the Malone Group, subject to certain exceptions, until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, which occurred as of 11:25 p.m., New York City time, on April 15, 2019. Because the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date has occurred, and the Malone Proxy is no longer in effect as of that date, the Malone Group no longer shares with Diller any voting power or dispositive power with respect to the 404,659 LEXEA shares and 2,636,328 LEXEB shares that were the subject of the Malone Proxy. See “Item 13.

**Relationship Among Our Company, the Malone Group, Diller and Expedia**

 

Prior to the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, the relationship among Diller, Qurate Retail and Expedia, Inc. (subsequently renamed Expedia Group, Inc.) was governed by two agreements which were entered into in connection with the spin-off of TripAdvisor, Inc. from Expedia, Inc. in December 2011 and which were assigned to our company in connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off: an Amended and Restated Governance Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2011, among Expedia, Inc., Qurate Retail and Diller (the **Governance Agreement**) and an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2011, between Diller and Qurate Retail (the **Stockholders Agreement**).

 

Simultaneously with Liberty Expedia’s entry into the Merger Agreement, Liberty Expedia entered into certain agreements, including:

 

·                  a Governance Agreement Termination Agreement, by and among Diller, Liberty Expedia, Expedia and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Liberty Expedia, pursuant to which the Assigned Governance Agreement (as defined below) will terminate at the closing of the Combination; and

 

·                  a Stockholders Agreement Termination Agreement, by and among Diller, Liberty Expedia and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Liberty Expedia, pursuant to which the Assigned Stockholders Agreement (as defined below) (including the Diller Proxy (as defined below)) will terminate at the closing of the Combination.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Governance Agreement Termination Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement Termination Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Governance Agreement Termination Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement Termination Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein.  The Governance Agreement Termination Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement Termination Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.4, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019 (the **Liberty Expedia 2019 Form 8-K**).

 

***The Governance Agreement, As Assigned***

 

*Assignment*

 

In connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, on November 4, 2016, we entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Governance Agreement (the **Governance Agreement Assignment**) with Qurate Retail, Diller and Expedia, Inc. to effect the assignment by Qurate Retail and assumption by us of Qurate Retail’s rights, benefits and obligations under the Governance Agreement. Effective immediately prior to the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, we were substituted for Qurate Retail for all purposes under the Governance Agreement. We refer to the Governance Agreement, as it was amended by the Governance Agreement Assignment, as the **Assigned Governance Agreement**. As described above in “—Relationships Among Our Company, the Malone Group, Diller and Expedia,” effective at (and subject to) the completion of the Combination, the Assigned Governance Agreement will terminate and be of no further effect.

 

*Representation of Our Company on the Expedia Board of Directors*

 

Under the terms of the Assigned Governance Agreement:

 

·                  We have the right to nominate up to such number of Expedia directors as is equal to 20% of the total number of Expedia directors (rounded up to the next whole number if the total number of directors is not an even multiple of 5) so long as we beneficially own at least 16,825,982 equity securities of Expedia (i.e., so long as our ownership percentage is at least equal to 15% of the total equity securities of Expedia);

 

·                  We have the right to nominate one director of Expedia so long as we beneficially own at least 11,217,321 equity securities of Expedia (i.e., so long as we own at least 5% of the total equity

 

27

----

Table of Contents

 

securities of Expedia); and 

 

·                  Expedia will use its reasonable best efforts to cause one of our designees to be a member of a committee of the board of directors of Expedia and, to the extent the person designated by our company would qualify as a member of the compensation committee of the board of directors of Expedia under applicable tax and securities laws and regulations, Expedia will seek to have that person appointed to the compensation committee of Expedia.

 

Qurate Retail’s nominees serving on Expedia’s board of directors at the time of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off continued to serve on Expedia’s board of directors as our initial nominees after the Expedia Holdings Split-Off and will serve until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal. Pursuant to the terms of the Assigned Governance Agreement, Expedia will cause each director that we nominate (each a **Splitco director**) to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the board of directors of Expedia to the stockholders of Expedia for election as directors at each annual meeting of the stockholders of Expedia and will use all reasonable efforts to cause the election of each such director including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such persons. We have the right to designate a replacement director to the board of directors of Expedia in order to fill any vacancy of a director previously designated by our company. We would have the right to transfer this ability to nominate candidates to the board of directors of Expedia, subject to the same ownership requirements as our current nomination rights, to our transferee in a Block Sale (as defined below), provided that the transferee’s nominees are independent directors and are approved by Expedia’s nominating committee (or equivalent committee of the board of directors of Expedia). In addition, as described below under “—The Stockholders Agreement, As Assigned—Distribution Transactions,” the spun-off or split-off company in a Distribution Transaction (as defined in “—The Stockholders Agreement, As Assigned—Distribution Transactions”) will succeed to our rights under the Assigned Governance Agreement, including our right to nominate directors.

 

*Contingent Matters*

 

The Assigned Governance Agreement lists certain actions (which are referred to as **Contingent Matters**) that require the prior consent of our company and Diller before Expedia can take any such action. For so long as:

 

·                  in the case of our company, we own at least 14,956,428 equity securities and at least 5% of the total equity securities of Expedia (the **Splitco Condition**); and  

 

·                  in the case of Diller, he owns at least 2,500,000 shares of EXPE and Expedia Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (**Expedia class B common stock**, and together with EXPE, the **Expedia Common Shares**) (including options to purchase Expedia Common Shares, whether or not then exercisable), continues to serve as chairman of Expedia and has not become disabled (the **Diller Condition**, and together with the Splitco Condition, the **Consent Conditions**),

 

Expedia has agreed that, without the prior approval of our company and/or Diller (whichever (or both) satisfy certain ownership requirements), it will not engage in any transaction that would result in, or have the reasonable likelihood of resulting in, we or Diller having to divest any part of our or his interest, as the case may be, in Expedia or any other material assets, or that would render any such ownership illegal or would subject Diller or our company to any fines, penalties or material additional restrictions or limitations.

 

In addition, for so long as the Consent Conditions apply, if Expedia (or any of its subsidiaries) incurs any indebtedness (other than a customary refinancing not to exceed the principal amount of the existing obligation being refinanced) after which Expedia’s total debt ratio (as defined in the Assigned Governance Agreement) equals or exceeds 8:1, then for so long as the total debt ratio continues to equal or exceed 8:1, Expedia may not take any of the following actions without the prior approval of our company and/or Diller:

 

·                  acquire or dispose of any assets, issue any debt or equity securities, repurchase any debt or equity securities, or incur indebtedness, if the aggregate value of such transaction or transactions (alone or in

 

28

Table of Contents

 

combination) during any six month period equals 10% or more of Expedia’s market capitalization;

 

·                  voluntarily commence any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Expedia or any material subsidiary of Expedia;

 

·                  make any material amendments to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Expedia;   

 

·                  engage in any line of business other than online and offline travel services and products and related businesses, or other businesses engaged in by Expedia as of the date of determination of the total debt ratio;

 

·                  adopt any stockholder rights plan that would adversely affect our company or Diller, as applicable; or

 

·                  grant additional consent rights to a stockholder of Expedia.

 

*Preemptive Rights*

 

In the event that Expedia issues or proposes to issue any shares of EXPE or Expedia class B common stock (with certain limited exceptions) including shares issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange of options, warrants and convertible securities, we will have preemptive rights that entitle our company to purchase a number of Expedia Common Shares so that we will maintain the identical ownership interest in Expedia (subject to certain adjustments) that we had immediately prior to such issuance or proposed issuance (but not in excess of (20.01%)). Any purchase by our company will be allocated between EXPE and Expedia class B common stock in the same proportion as the issuance or issuances giving rise to the preemptive right, except to the extent that we opt to acquire shares of EXPE in lieu of shares of Expedia class B common stock.

 

*Registration Rights*

 

We and Diller are entitled to customary, transferrable registration rights with respect to shares of EXPE owned by us or Diller. We are entitled to four demand registration rights and Diller is entitled to three demand registration rights. Expedia will pay the costs associated with such registrations (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions). Expedia will not be required to register shares of EXPE if a stockholder could sell the shares in the quantities proposed to be sold at such time in one transaction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the **Securities Act**), or under another comparable exemption from registration.

 

In connection with a transfer of Expedia securities to an unaffiliated third party, our company or Diller may assign any of our or his then-remaining demand registration rights to the third party transferee, if upon the transfer the transferee acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the then outstanding equity securities of Expedia. If upon the transfer the transferee acquires beneficial ownership of equity securities of Expedia representing less than 5% of the then outstanding equity securities, but having at least $250 million in then-current market value, we or Diller may assign one of our or his remaining demand registration rights, which the transferee may exercise only in connection with an offering of shares of EXPE with a market value of at least $100 million.

 

*Inapplicability of Anti-Takeover Provisions to Distribution Transaction or Block Sale*

 

Pursuant to the Assigned Governance Agreement, Expedia will not, in the case of a Distribution Transaction, implement any anti-takeover provision (including any shareholder rights plan) or, in the case of a Block Sale (as defined in “—The Stockholders Agreement, As Assigned—Block Sales”), Expedia will render inapplicable any such anti-takeover provision:

 

·                  the purpose or reasonably evident effect of which is to restrict or limit our ability to engage in a Distribution Transaction or a Block Sale; or  

 

29

----

Table of Contents

 

·                  the purpose or reasonably evident effect of which is to impose a material economic detriment on the company to which Expedia equity securities are transferred in connection with a qualifying Distribution Transaction (and whose shares are distributed to the public stockholders of our company) or that would impose a material economic detriment on the transferee in a Block Sale.

 

In addition, the Expedia board of directors will approve the transfer of Expedia Common Shares in a Distribution Transaction or Block Sale (up to a 30% ownership level in the case of a Block Sale) for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the **DGCL**), which imposes restrictions on certain transactions with “interested stockholders” under the DGCL. In the case of a Block Sale, however, such approval for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL will be subject to the imposition of contractual restrictions on the Block Sale transferee analogous to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL (as described below).

 

*Restrictions on Block Sale Transferee*

 

For three years following a Block Sale by our company, the transferee will be subject to, among other things, the following restrictions with regard to Expedia, unless the restrictions terminate early in the following circumstances:

 

·                  an ownership cap set at 30% of the total equity securities of Expedia (which would apply to any “group” which the transferee or its affiliates is a member), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances;  

 

·                  specified “standstill” restrictions limiting the transferee’s ability, at such time as any directors nominated by the transferee are serving on the Expedia board of directors, to, among other things, engage in proxy contests, propose transactions involving the company, form a “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act) or influence the management of Expedia. These restrictions, other than the prohibition on proxy contests, would terminate if the transferee relinquishes all rights to nominate directors under the Assigned Governance Agreement; and  

 

·                  contractual provisions analogous to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL that would prohibit the transferee from engaging in specified “business combination” transactions with Expedia without the prior approval of Expedia, acting through a committee of independent directors.

 

The contractual provisions mirroring Section 203 of the DGCL would not apply to the transferee if upon the Block Sale it would not be an “interested stockholder” (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) of Expedia. However, if these contractual provisions become applicable at the time of the Block Sale, they will continue in effect for the term of the standstill restrictions even if the transferee would subsequently cease to be an “interested stockholder” (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) of Expedia. The standstill restrictions and 30% ownership cap, as well as the termination provisions, would apply to subsequent transferees of all or substantially all of the shares transferred in a prior Block Sale, but in any event would not extend past the third anniversary of the original Block Sale. The statutory provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL would apply with respect to unaffiliated subsequent transferees of the shares transferred in a prior Block Sale to the extent applicable.

 

Prior to the expiration of the three-year term, the standstill restrictions, including the cap on ownership described above, would terminate at the earlier of (i) Diller and his affiliates “actually owning” securities representing more than 50% of the total voting power of Expedia or (ii) the Block Sale transferee and its affiliates beneficially owning (as defined in the Assigned Governance Agreement) securities representing less than 12% of the total voting power of Expedia and Diller beneficially owning (as defined in the Assigned Governance Agreement) securities representing more than 40% of the total voting power of Expedia. For this purpose, securities “actually owned” by Diller and his affiliates will include all securities of Expedia held by Diller and his “affiliates,” plus those shares of Expedia class B common stock for which Diller and his “affiliates” have a right to “swap” shares of EXPE (as discussed below) but for which the swap right has not been exercised, minus the securities Diller and his “affiliates” currently hold but would need to exchange for the Expedia class B common stock in such swap right.

 

30

Table of Contents

 

The above restrictions may be waived at any time by Expedia, acting through a committee of independent directors.

 

*Other Block Sale Provisions*

 

If Diller does not acquire from our company all shares of Expedia class B common stock proposed to be transferred in a Block Sale or in a transfer of all of the Expedia Common Shares owned by our company through the exercise of his “swap” right or right of first refusal under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement (as defined below) (resulting in such Expedia class B common stock beneficially owned by our company being converted into, or exchanged for, shares of EXPE before the Block Sale), for a period of two years after the Block Sale, Diller will have the right from time to time to acquire from Expedia an equal number of shares of Expedia class B common stock held in treasury, either by purchase at fair market value, through an exchange of an equivalent number of shares of EXPE, or a combination of the foregoing. Diller may exercise this right either alone or in conjunction with one or more third parties so long as Diller retains voting control over the Expedia class B common stock acquired. Prior to the expiration of the two-year period following a Block Sale, Diller’s right to acquire Expedia class B common stock from Expedia will be suspended immediately upon the entry by Expedia into a merger agreement providing for a merger that constitutes a change of control of Expedia, and will terminate irrevocably upon the consummation of an exchange or tender offer for securities representing a majority of the total voting power of Expedia or a merger that constitutes a change of control of Expedia.

 

*Certain Waivers*

 

During the term of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement, without Expedia’s consent (to be exercised by a committee of independent directors), Diller will not waive our obligation under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement to convert or exchange shares of Expedia class B common stock to shares of EXPE in specified circumstances. This consent right is not applicable if Diller no longer has any rights under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement. In certain circumstances this consent right will survive a mutual termination of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement for a period of up to one year.

 

*Termination*

 

Generally, the Assigned Governance Agreement will terminate:

 

·                  with respect to our company, at such time that we beneficially own equity securities representing less than 5% of the total equity securities of Expedia; and  

 

·                  with respect to Diller, at such time as Diller ceases to be the chairman of Expedia or becomes disabled.

 

With respect to the provisions governing Contingent Matters, such provisions will terminate as to Diller and our company as set forth under “—Contingent Matters” above.

 

The foregoing summary of the Assigned Governance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Governance Agreement and Governance Agreement Assignment, which are incorporated by reference herein.  The Governance Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Expedia, Inc.’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 27, 2011.  The Governance Agreement Assignment is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 7, 2016 (the **Liberty Expedia 2016 Form 8-K**).

 

***The Stockholders Agreement, As Assigned***

 

*Assignment*

 

In connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, on November 4, 2016, we entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Stockholders Agreement (the **Stockholders Agreement Assignment**) with Qurate Retail and Diller to effect the assignment by Qurate Retail and assumption by us of Qurate Retail’s rights, benefits and

 

31

----

Table of Contents

 

obligations under the Stockholders Agreement. Effective immediately prior to the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, and subject to the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, we were substituted for Qurate Retail for all purposes under the Stockholders Agreement. We refer to the Stockholders Agreement, as it was amended by the StockholdersAgreement Assignment, as the **Assigned Stockholders Agreement**. As described above in “—Relationships Among Our Company, the Malone Group, Diller and Expedia,” effective at (and subject to) the completion of the Combination, the Assigned Stockholders Agreement will terminate and be of no further effect.

 

*General*

 

Diller holds the Diller Proxy with respect to all securities of Expedia beneficially owned by our company on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote or by which the stockholders may act by written consent, except for Contingent Matters with respect to which we have not consented, so long as Diller continues to own at least 2,500,000 shares of EXPE (including options). The Diller Proxy will generally remain in effect until the earlier of (i) Diller no longer serving as chairman of Expedia and (ii) Diller becoming disabled. Under certain limited circumstances, including a breach by Diller of certain provisions of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement, the Diller Proxy may terminate sooner. In addition, the Assigned Stockholders Agreement provides for the suspension of the Diller Proxy if Diller cannot vote due to mental or physical disability.

 

We and Diller will vote against any Contingent Matter with respect to Expedia if either Diller or our company does not approve the Contingent Matter (so long as either such party continues to have veto rights with respect to the Contingent Matter under the Assigned Governance Agreement). Diller will also vote all securities of Expedia over which he has voting control in favor of our designees to the board of directors of Expedia, and, subject to Diller’s election as a director of Expedia, we will use our reasonable best efforts to cause Diller to be elected and continue to serve as chairman of the board of directors of Expedia.

 

In connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, Diller assigned the Diller Proxy to our company, as further described below in “—Proxy Arrangements—Diller Assignment.”

 

*Restrictions on Transfers*

 

Until the later of (i) the date Diller no longer serves as chairman of Expedia and (ii) the date Diller no longer holds the Diller Proxy (or upon Diller becoming disabled, if that occurs first), and subject to the other provisions of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement, neither we nor Diller can transfer shares of EXPE or Expedia class B common stock, other than:

 

·                  transfers by Diller to pay taxes relating to the granting, vesting and/or exercise of stock options to purchase shares of EXPE;   

 

·                  transfers to each party’s respective affiliates;  

 

·                  transfers of EXPE pursuant to certain hedging transactions effected by our company and meeting certain requirements;   

 

·                  pledges relating to financings, subject to certain conditions, and any related transfer of shares of EXPE in connection with the enforcement of such pledge; and  

 

·                  transfers of options or shares of EXPE in connection with “cashless exercises” of Diller’s options to purchase shares of EXPE.

 

The restrictions on transfer are subject to a number of exceptions (which exceptions, in the case of a transfer of shares of Expedia class B common stock, are generally subject to the right of first refusal described below):

 

·                  either of our company or Diller may transfer shares of EXPE or Expedia class B common stock to an

 

32

----

Table of Contents

 

unaffiliated third party, subject, in the case of shares of Expedia class B common stock, to the tag-along rights described below and Expedia’s consent in the event of a waiver of our obligation to convert or exchange shares of Expedia class B common stock to shares of EXPE in certain circumstances as described above under “—The Governance Agreement, As Assigned—CertainWaivers”;  

 

·                  either of our company or Diller may transfer shares of EXPE so long as the transfer complies with the requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 145 under the Securities Act; and  

 

·                  we may engage in a Distribution Transaction or Block Sale (as described below).

 

*Tag-Along Rights and Right of First Refusal*

 

Each of Diller and our company has a right to “tag-along” (i.e. participate on a pro rata basis) on sales by the other of shares of Expedia class B common stock to any unaffiliated third party with limited exceptions. Diller does not have a tag-along right in connection with a Distribution Transaction by our company.

 

Each of Diller and our company has a right of first refusal in the case of a proposed transfer by the other of shares of Expedia class B common stock to an unaffiliated third party, subject to specified exceptions, including transfers by our company pursuant to a Distribution Transaction.

 

*Transfers of Shares of Expedia Class B Common Stock*

 

If either our company or Diller proposes to transfer shares of Expedia class B common stock, the other will have the right to swap any shares of EXPE we own or he owns for such shares of Expedia class B common stock proposed to be transferred (subject to the right of first refusal described above). To the extent that, after application of the swap right described in the prior sentence, there remain shares of Expedia class B common stock that the selling stockholder would otherwise transfer to an unaffiliated third party, such shares must first be converted or exchanged into shares of EXPE.

 

As described above under “—The Governance Agreement, As Assigned—Certain Waivers,” any waiver by Diller of our obligation in the Assigned Stockholders Agreement to convert shares of Expedia class B common stock to shares of EXPE before transfer to an unaffiliated third party will be subject to the consent of Expedia, exercisable through a committee of independent directors. This consent right is not applicable if Diller no longer has any rights under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement. The consent right will survive a mutual termination of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement for one year unless Diller’s rights are terminated under the circumstances described below in “—Termination.”

 

This transfer restriction does not apply to, among other specified transfers, transfers among the parties and their affiliates, certain mergers and transfers by our company in a Distribution Transaction.

 

*Distribution Transactions*

 

We are permitted to spin-off or split-off to our public stockholders all, but not less than all, of our equity ownership in Expedia in a transaction meeting specified requirements (a **Distribution Transaction**) without first complying with the transfer restrictions described above, including Diller’s tag-along right, right of first refusal, swap right and conversion requirement, and without being subject to the application of certain anti-takeover provisions, as described above under “—The Governance Agreement, As Assigned—Inapplicability of Anti-takeover Provisions to Distribution Transaction or Block Sale.” The spun-off or split-off company will be required to assume all of our obligations (including the Diller Proxy) and will succeed to our rights under the Assigned Governance Agreement and Assigned Stockholders Agreement (including our right to nominate directors).

 

33

Table of Contents

 

*Block Sales*

 

For so long as our equity ownership in Expedia does not exceed 30% of the total equity securities of Expedia and Diller continues to hold a proxy over our shares in Expedia, we may sell all, but not less than all, of such equity interest in Expedia to an unaffiliated third party (a **Block Sale**), without being subject to the application of certain anti-takeover provisions, as described above under “—The Governance Agreement, As Assigned—Inapplicability of Anti-Takeover Provisions to Distribution Transaction or Block Sale,” subject to prior compliancewith Diller’s tag-along right, right of first refusal and swap right, as well as the requirement that we convert shares of Expedia class B common stock to shares of EXPE or exchange them for shares of EXPE with Expedia before the Block Sale.

 

Prior to any Block Sale, we will be required to exchange and/or convert any shares of Expedia class B common stock proposed to be transferred in such Block Sale, to the extent Diller does not acquire such shares pursuant to exercise of his right of first refusal or swap right, for newly-issued shares of EXPE (subject to application of relevant securities laws).

 

*Termination*

 

Diller’s and our rights and obligations under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement generally terminate at such time as, in the case of Diller, he no longer beneficially owns at least 1,000,000 shares of EXPE. Our tag-along rights and obligations terminate at such time as we cease to beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of EXPE.

 

In addition, Diller’s rights under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon the later of (i) the date Diller ceases to serve as chairman of Expedia or becomes disabled and (ii) the date Diller no longer holds a proxy to vote the Expedia Common Shares owned by our company.

 

The foregoing summary of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement and Stockholders Agreement Assignment, which are incorporated by reference herein.  The Stockholders Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.11 to Expedia Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on February 10, 2012.  The Stockholders Agreement Assignment is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Liberty Expedia 2016 Form 8-K.

 

***Proxy Arrangements***

 

We and Qurate Retail entered into the Transaction Agreement with the Malone Group and Diller. During the period between the Expedia Holdings Split-Off and the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date (as defined below), the Transaction Agreement facilitated certain proxy arrangements (the **proxy arrangements**) described below. Pursuant to an irrevocable proxy (the **Diller Proxy**) granted to Diller by Qurate Retail pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement (which agreement was assigned to our company and amended in connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off), Diller generally controls the vote of the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company. In connection with the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, Diller assigned the Diller Proxy to our company for a period of time up to 18 months following completion of the Expedia Holdings Split- Off, or May 4, 2018, which date had been extended for an additional one-year period to May 4, 2019 pursuant to a letter agreement, dated March 6, 2018, by and among our company, Qurate Retail, the Malone Group and Diller (the **Letter Agreement**). The Diller Proxy is subject to earlier termination in circumstances described below. As a result, for so long as such assignment was in effect, Diller did not have the right to vote the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company. However, by virtue of (i) certain governance rights with respect to our company as set forth in our restated certificate of incorporation (our **restated charter**) and bylaws, (ii) an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement entered into at the time of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, (iii) provisions of the Transaction Agreement and (iv) the Malone Proxy, prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, Diller was able to elect the two directors designated as Series B Directors of our company (**Series B Directors**), who determined how we would exercise certain rights and vote the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company, and which we have the power to vote, in the election of Expedia directors, though Mr. Malone retained the ability to remove the Series B Directors.

 

On April 15, 2019, prior to our entry into the Merger Agreement, Diller, Liberty Expedia, Qurate Retail and the Malone Group entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Transaction Agreement

(**Amendment No. 2 to Transaction Agreement**), which amends the Transaction Agreement, providing for the immediate termination of the Transaction Agreement, which automatically resulted in the termination of the proxy arrangements at 11:25 p.m., New York City time, on April 15, 2019 (such date and time, the **Proxy Arrangement Termination Date**).  As a result of the termination of the proxy arrangements, each of the Diller Assignment (as defined below) and the Malone Proxy was terminated at such time, and, pursuant to the Diller Proxy, Diller isentitled to vote all Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by Liberty Expedia.

 

*Transaction Agreement*

 

Prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, the Transaction Agreement facilitated the proxy arrangements whereby, (i) Diller had irrevocably assigned to our company (the **Diller Assignment**) the Diller Proxy to vote all Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company, and (ii) the Malone Group had granted Diller an irrevocable proxy to vote all shares of LEXEA and LEXEB beneficially owned by the Malone Group upon completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off or thereafter, in each case, subject to certain limitations.

 

We had amended and restated our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be substantially in the forms attached to the Transaction Agreement, and the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement had entered into the Governance Agreement Assignment and the Stockholders Agreement Assignment, in each case assigning the rights, benefits and obligations of such agreement from Qurate Retail to our company, the Stockholders Agreement Amendment (as defined below), the Diller Assignment, the Malone Proxy and certain other documents in connection with the Expedia Holdings Split-Off (collectively with the Transaction Agreement, the **Proxy Arrangement Documents**). During the period the proxy arrangements were in effect, our restated charter provided, among other things, that any action by our company to transfer the shares of Expedia class B common stock beneficially owned by us will require the approval of our stockholders holding in excess of 70% of the voting power of our company.

 

Pursuant to the Proxy Arrangement Documents, immediately following the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, our board consisted of seven members, with five individuals designated by Qurate Retail to serve as Common Stock Directors and two individuals designated by Diller to serve as Series B Directors. Three of the Common Stock Directors and one Series B Director were required to be “independent” as to our company pursuant to Nasdaq rules and regulations. Prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, our board caused each proposed Common Stock Director and each proposed Series B Director designated in accordance with our bylaws to be nominated for election and included in the slate of nominees recommended by our board (or a committee of our board) for election at the applicable meeting of stockholders of our company.  Effective upon the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, the terms of office of the Series B Directors automatically expired, the number of directors serving on our board was reduced to five directors and our board was classified into three classes consisting of a number of directors equal to one-third of the then-authorized number of directors of our board.

 

The Transaction Agreement also provided that Qurate Retail and we would indemnify each of Diller and the Malone Group (the **Indemnified Parties**) from any losses incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from, whether prior to or after the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off, any actions relating to the matters contemplated by the Malone Proxy, Diller Assignment, Transaction Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement Amendment and certain provisions of our restated charter and bylaws (collectively, the **Subject Instruments**), or the exercise by any Indemnified Party of its rights under the Subject Instruments (the **Indemnification Obligations**).

 

The Transaction Agreement further provides that Qurate Retail and we would reimburse each of Diller and the Malone Group for their respective reasonable, documented costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Subject Instruments, subject to certain expense caps. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the documents related to the proxy arrangements not covered by the indemnification and expense reimbursement provisions would be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense (the **expense reimbursement**).

The foregoing summary of the Transaction Agreement, Letter Agreement and Amendment No. 2 to Transaction Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transaction Agreement, Letter Agreement and Amendment No. 2 to Transaction Agreement, which are incorporatedby reference herein.  The Transaction Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.13 to Amendment No. 4 to our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on September 23, 2016. The Letter Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2018, and Amendment No. 2 to Transaction Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Liberty Expedia 2019 Form 8-K.

 

*Amendment No. 1 to Stockholders Agreement*

 

On November 4, 2016, prior to the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off and following the execution of the Stockholders Agreement Assignment (but subject to the Transaction Agreement then being in effect), Diller and our company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Stockholders Agreement (the **Stockholders Agreement Amendment**) which provided for certain agreements relating to the voting of Diller’s and our Expedia Common Shares. From the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, certain provisions of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement were amended to provide that each of Diller and our company would vote his or our Expedia Common Shares in favor of the Splitco director nominees as selected by our board pursuant to our restated charter and bylaws. With respect to the election of directors to Expedia’s board of directors, other than the Splitco directors, we would vote our Expedia Common Shares as directed by our board  pursuant to the terms of our restated charter and bylaws (i.e., as determined by the Series B Directors). Subject to the election of Diller to Expedia’s board of directors, we would use our reasonable best efforts to cause Diller to be elected and continue to serve as chairman of the board of Expedia. The Stockholders Agreement Amendment further provided that with respect to any matter (other than the election of directors of Expedia) to be presented to Expedia’s stockholders for approval, we and Diller would meet and use reasonable best efforts to agree on a common position for such matters prior to any Expedia stockholder meeting, and each of Diller and our company would vote his and our respective Expedia Common Shares if and as so agreed. If we and Diller were unable to agree on such a common position, with respect to any matter other than a Specified Corporate Action (as defined below), we and Diller could have voted our and his respective Expedia Common Shares in our or his sole discretion, respectively. In the event the matter relates to a Specified Corporate Action, unless our company and Diller agreed as to how our and his Expedia Common Shares would be voted, then, subject to limited exceptions (including with regard to business combinations as described below), our company and Diller would vote all of our and his respective Expedia Common Shares against the approval of such Specified Corporate Action. **Specified Corporate Actions** included (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or any other change in the existing capital structure of Expedia, or any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Expedia, (ii) any business combination involving Expedia or its subsidiaries (other than solely among subsidiaries of Expedia), or any sale of all or substantially all of Expedia’s assets, (iii) the creation of any new class or series of Expedia’s capital stock or the issuance (other than pursuant to options, warrants or other rights outstanding at the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off) of Expedia Common Shares, (iv) any amendment to Expedia’s organizational documents and (v) any removal of a director from the Expedia board of directors, subject to certain exceptions. If our company and Diller did not agree on how to vote our and his Expedia Common Shares on a proposed business combination in which a third party (other than our company, a Diller affiliate or another person in which Diller has a financial interest) would acquire Expedia, any of its subsidiaries or substantially all of its assets, then, if Diller supported the transaction, we would vote in favor of its approval unless at least 70% of our board voted to withhold such approval. Following the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, the foregoing provisions ceased to be effective, and the corresponding provisions of the Assigned Stockholders Agreement reverted to the form in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Stockholders Agreement Amendment.

 

The Stockholders Agreement Amendment also contained certain waivers under the Assigned Stockholders Agreement in order to permit the proxy arrangements, including that, in the event Diller ceased to be chairman of Expedia following the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off but prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, in certain circumstances, the Diller Proxy would not be terminated upon the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date but would instead terminate upon the first to occur of (x) following the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, Diller abandoning efforts to become chairman of Expedia, (y) the 75th day following the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, with such period to be tolled in certain circumstances and (z) any court rendering a

final judgment in any proceeding, the effect of which is to enjoin or prevent Diller from exercising efforts to become chairman of Expedia or otherwise becoming chairman of Expedia.

 

The amendments to the Assigned Stockholders Agreement set forth in the Stockholders Agreement Amendment ceased to be in effect upon the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date.  As described above in “—Relationships Among Our Company, the Malone Group, Diller and Expedia,” effective at (and subject to) the completion of the Combination, the Assigned Stockholders Agreement will terminate and be of no further effect.  The foregoing summary of the Stockholders Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Liberty Expedia 2016 Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

*Diller Assignment*

 

On November 4, 2016, prior to the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off (and subject to the Transaction Agreement then being in effect), Diller and our company entered into an Assignment Agreement (the **Diller Assignment**), which became effective immediately following the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off and pursuant to which Diller irrevocably assigned the Diller Proxy to our company until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date. For so long as the Diller Assignment was in effect, Diller would not have the right to vote the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company. The Diller Assignment was automatically terminated as of the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, and at such time the right to vote the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company reverted to Diller pursuant to the Diller Proxy until the Diller Proxy is terminated upon his death or disability or his ceasing to be chairman of Expedia (or any successor by merger, consolidation or other business combination).

 

The foregoing summary of the Diller Assignment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Diller Assignment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.10 to the Liberty Expedia 2016 Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

*Malone Proxy*

 

On November 4, 2016, Diller and the Malone Group entered into the Malone Proxy, which became effective immediately following the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off. Pursuant to the Malone Proxy, the Malone Group granted Diller an irrevocable proxy until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date to vote all shares of LEXEA and LEXEB (and any securities of our company issued in respect of, or in substitution for, our common stock in certain transactions) beneficially owned upon the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off or thereafter by the Malone Group or which any member otherwise has the power to vote (the **Covered Shares**). The Malone Proxy provided that Diller had no right to vote the Covered Shares on any matter acted on by our stockholders to approve (x) any agreement or transaction (i) between our company or any of our affiliates, on the one hand, and Diller, IAC/InterActiveCorp (**IAC**) or any of their respective affiliates, on the other hand, or (ii) between our company or any of our affiliates, on the one hand, and Expedia or its subsidiaries, on the other hand or (y) the removal of any Series B Director in accordance with our restated charter. The Malone Proxy was to be suspended during any period of Diller’s disability.

 

The Malone Proxy further provided that, prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, on (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or other change in our capital structure or the voluntary commencement of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, (ii) any merger or other business combination involving our company or our subsidiaries or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, (iii) the creation of any new class or series of our capital stock or the issuance of our LEXEA or LEXEB shares or other securities of our company issued in respect of, or in substitution for, our common stock in certain transactions, subject to limited exceptions, or (iv) any amendment to our organizational documents, Malone (on behalf of the Malone Group) and Diller would seek to agree on how the Covered Shares would be voted on such matter. If they reached an agreement, Diller would vote the Covered Shares as agreed, but in the event they did not agree on how the Covered Shares were to be voted on such matter, Diller would have voted all Covered Shares against such proposal. With respect to the election of or the filling of any vacancy with respect to Series B Directors, Diller would have voted in his sole discretion all Covered Shares that were entitled to vote on the matter. With respect to the election of Common Stock Directors, Diller would have voted all Covered Shares in favor of the slate of directors recommended by our board (or a committee of

our board). In the event there was any proposal requiring a separate class vote of shares of LEXEB (other than the election of, or filling of a vacancy with respect to, Series B Directors, which are addressed above, or the removal of Series B Directors), Diller would have voted all shares of LEXEB that were Covered Shares as instructed by Malone (on behalf of the Malone Group), subject to certain exceptions. In the event there was a proposal to remove a Common Stock Director from the board of directors, Diller would have voted all Covered Shares as instructed byMalone (on behalf of the Malone Group).

 

Subject to certain exceptions, until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, the Malone Group had agreed not to transfer any Covered Shares except to a transferee who takes such shares subject to the Malone Proxy and who was acceptable to Diller in his sole discretion. Diller would have voted all Covered Shares subject to the Malone Proxy and attended all meetings of our stockholders in person or by proxy for purposes of reaching a quorum.

 

The Malone Proxy automatically terminated at the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, and at such time the right to vote the Covered Shares reverted back to the Malone Group.

 

The foregoing summary of the Malone Proxy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Malone Proxy, which is filed as Exhibit 10.11 to the Liberty Expedia 2016 Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

***Voting of Covered Shares of our Common Stock before and after the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date***

 

Pursuant to the Malone Proxy, following the completion of the Split-Off, the Malone Group granted Diller an irrevocable proxy over the Covered Shares until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date. The below table sets forth a summary of the voting arrangements with respect to the Covered Shares.

***Voting of our Expedia Common Shares Pursuant to the Proxy Arrangements before and after the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date***

 

While the Diller Assignment was in effect, we were entitled to vote the Expedia Common Shares subject to the Diller Proxy (which represented 53.0% (as of January 25, 2019) of the outstanding voting power of the Expedia Common Shares) until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date. Following the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, other than the Expedia Common Shares that are subject to the terms of the Diller Proxy of which Diller and Liberty Expedia will continue to share beneficial ownership, Diller is expected to beneficially own approximately 5.7 million shares of EXPE (based on the net exercise of Diller’s 537,500 vested options assuming an EXPE stock price of $125.45, the closing price of EXPE on April 15, 2019). Following the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off and until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, the voting of the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by Diller which Diller was entitled to vote was subject to certain terms contained in the Stockholders Agreement Amendment and the voting of the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company which we were entitled to vote until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, and as to which our company and Diller continued to share beneficial ownership, were subject to certain terms contained in our restated charter, our bylaws, the Stockholders Agreement Amendment, the Diller Assignment and the Transaction Agreement. The Diller Assignment was automatically terminated as of the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date, and at such time the right to vote the Expedia Common Shares beneficially owned by our company reverted to Diller pursuant to the Diller Proxy until the Diller Proxy is terminated. The below table sets forth a summary of the voting arrangements following the completion of the Expedia Holdings Split-Off until the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date and the voting arrangements that remain in effect pursuant to the Diller Proxy after the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date with respect to the Expedia Common Shares of which Diller and our company share beneficial ownership. The Expedia Common Shares subject to the terms of the Diller Proxy and the Diller Assignment prior to the Proxy Arrangement Termination Date are referred to in the chart as our Expedia Common Shares and the remaining Expedia Common Shares of which Diller and our company share beneficial ownership are referred to in the chart as Diller’s Expedia Common Shares.

**Certain Related Party Transactions**

 

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed “relatedparty transaction” (as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated by our board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company without the approval of the audit committee of our board or another independent body of our board designated to address such actual or potential conflicts.

 

**Director Independence**

 

It is our policy that a majority of the members of our board be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our board in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board follows Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules on the criteria for director independence.

 

Our board has determined that each of Stephen M. Brett, Gregg L. Engles and Scott W. Schoelzel qualifies as an independent director of our company. Our board also determined that each of Robert R. Hammond and Alexander von Furstenberg, who ceased to be members of our board in April 2019, qualified as an independent director during his service on our board.

(1)                                 Such fees with respect to 2017 and 2018 exclude audit fees, audit related fees and tax fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to Expedia (formerly Expedia, Inc.) for services rendered. Expedia is a separate public company and its audit fees, audit related fees and tax fees are reviewed and approved by the audit committee of the board of directors of Expedia.

 

(2)                                 Tax fees consist of tax compliance and consultations regarding the tax implications of certain transactions. For 2017, such fees primarily relate to services provided to Expedia.

 

Our audit committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG LLP to our company other than auditing is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence and believes that the provision of such other services is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence.

 

**Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor**

 

Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as **pre-approved services**):

 

·                  audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions;

 

·                  audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and

 

·                  tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and review services, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if, in the reasonable judgment of Liberty Expedia’s Chief Financial Officer, an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services to Liberty Expedia or its subsidiaries (other than Expedia or Expedia’s subsidiaries) is likely to result in fees in excess of $50,000, if an

individual project involving the provision of any pre-approved services to Expedia or Expedia’s subsidiaries is likely to result in fees exceeding $200,000 or if individual projects (other than projects for Expedia) under $50,000 are likely to total $250,000 during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Gregg L. Engles currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.

 

Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

All services provided by our independent auditor during 2018 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy.
