Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 16, 2005 Orbitz, LLC (“Orbitz”) filed suit against Worldspan, L.P. (“Worldspan”) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Law Division. Orbitz is one of our largest online travel agency customers. The Orbitz complaint purports to state causes of action under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practice Act and Equitable Estoppel and seeks a court order rescinding certain provisions under our agreement with Orbitz (including, among other things, provisions containing commitments from Orbitz with respect to usage of the Worldspan GDS system) and monetary damages. We believe that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this action.
On September 19, 2005 Worldspan filed suit against Orbitz in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The Worldspan complaint seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages for breaches of contract and violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
