Expedia Group, Inc. Announces Early Results of Tender Offers for Senior Notes

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – September 12, 2022 – Expedia Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) (the “Company”) today announced the early tender results for its previously announced tender offers to purchase for cash up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Aggregate Tender Cap”) of the Company’s 2.950% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and 3.25% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2031 Notes, the “Securities”).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 9, 2022, the previously announced early tender date and time (the “Early Tender Date”), the aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities set forth in the table below under “Principal Amount Tendered” have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers. Withdrawal rights for the Tender Offers expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on September 9, 2022, and, accordingly, Securities validly tendered in the tender offers may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

Title of Security	CUSIP No./ ISIN No.	Principal Amount Outstanding		Acceptance Priority Level(1)		Aggregate Principal Amount Tendered			Aggregate Principal Amount Accepted		Percent of Tendered Amount Outstanding			Proration Factor(2)
2.950% Senior Notes due 2031	30212P BH7 / US30212PBH73; 30212P BF1 / US30212PBF18; U3010D AM2 / USU3010DAM21	$	1,000,000,000		1	$	685,101,000		$	500,000,000		68.51	%		73.0	%
3.25% Senior Notes due 2030	30212P AR6 / US30212PAR64; 30212P AQ8 / US30212PAQ81; U3010D AG5 / USU3010DAG52	$	1,250,000,000		2		N/A	(3)		$0		N/A	(3)		0	%

The tender offers are being made pursuant to an offer to purchase, dated August 26, 2022 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers. The purchase of the 2031 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offers would cause the Company to purchase Securities with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Aggregate Tender Cap. Accordingly, the 2031 Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis up to the Aggregate Tender Cap in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the appliable “Proration Factor” for such series of Securities specified in the table above. Further, because the Company intends to accept for purchase an aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes equal to the Aggregate Tender Cap, no 2030 Notes will be accepted for purchase.

¹  The offers with respect to the Securities are subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap of $500,000,000.

²  Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point.

³  Given that no 2030 Notes will be accepted for purchase, the "Principal Amount Tendered" and the "Percent of Tendered Amount Outstanding" have been intentionally omitted.

The consideration (the “Total Consideration”) to be paid for the 2031 Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable “Fixed Spread” for such series of Securities specified in the Offer to Purchase plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable “U.S. Treasury Reference Security” specified in the Offer to Purchase as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg Reference Page specified in the Offer to Purchase at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 12, 2022. The Company expects to issue a press release on September 12, 2022 to announce the Total Consideration payable in respect of the 2031 Notes that are accepted for purchase by the Company, including the Reference Yield (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for the 2031 Notes that will be used in determining such Total Consideration. It is anticipated that the settlement date for the 2031 Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase by the Company will be September 13, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

Although the tender offers are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 23, 2022, because the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeded the Aggregate Tender Cap, there will be no Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and no Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. Securities tendered and not purchased on the Early Settlement Date will be returned to holders promptly after the Early Settlement Date.

The tender offers are subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The tender offers are not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of the Securities, and neither of the tender offers is conditioned on the consummation of the other tender offer.
