Introduction

On July 26, 2019, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 15, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 5, 2019 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “LEXPE”), Expedia Group, Inc. (“Parent” or “Expedia Group”), LEMS I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger LLC”), and LEMS II Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into LEXPE (the “Merger”), with LEXPE surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC (the “Surviving Corporation”), and immediately following the Merger, LEXPE (as the Surviving Corporation) merged with and into Merger LLC (the “Upstream Merger”, and together with the Merger, the “Combination”), with Merger LLC surviving the Upstream Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Company”).

The descriptions of the Merger Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, copies of which were attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 16, 2019, and Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 5, 2019, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The information provided in the Introduction section of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of LEXPE and Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of LEXPE (together, the “LEXPE Common Stock”) (except for shares held by LEXPE as treasury stock or held directly by Expedia Group) was automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Expedia Group (the “Expedia Group Common Stock”) such that each holder of record of shares of LEXPE Common Stock has the right to receive, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Expedia Group Common Stock equal to the product of the total number of shares of such series of LEXPE Common Stock held of record by such holder immediately prior to the Merger multiplied by an exchange ratio equal to 0.36, with such product rounded up to the next whole share of Expedia Group Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”). Each share of LEXPE Common Stock held by LEXPE as treasury stock or held directly by Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and no securities of Parent or other consideration was delivered in exchange therefor. LEXPE stockholders have no appraisal rights in connection with the Combination.

The foregoing description of the Combination and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

In connection with the completion of the Combination, LEXPE notified the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) of its intent to remove the LEXPE Common Stock from listing on NASDAQ and requested that NASDAQ file a notice of removal from listing on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist and deregister such securities under Section 12(b) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Surviving Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15, requesting the termination of registration of the LEXPE Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of LEXPE’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Item 3.03.

Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, all then-outstanding stock options with respect to shares of LEXPE Common Stock (“LEXPE Stock Option”) specified on a schedule to the Merger Agreement were accelerated and converted into the right to receive cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess (if any) of the per share cash equivalent consideration (calculated by multiplying the exchange ratio by the volume weighted average closing price of one share of Expedia Group Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time) over the per share exercise price of such LEXPE Stock Option, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of LEXPE Common Stock subject to such LEXPE Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, less applicable tax withholdings.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, all then-outstanding LEXPE Stock Options (other than those specified on a schedule to the Merger Agreement) were accelerated and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Expedia Group Common Stock equal to (x) 0.36 multiplied by (y) the number of shares covered by such LEXPE Stock Options (after deducting a number of shares sufficient to cover the aggregate option exercise price), less applicable tax withholdings, with the number of shares to be delivered to each holder of LEXPE Stock Options aggregated and rounded up to the next whole share of Expedia Group Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, all then-outstanding awards of LEXPE restricted stock were accelerated and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of LEXPE Common Stock covered by such award, less applicable tax withholding.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, all then outstanding awards of LEXPE restricted stock units were accelerated and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Expedia Group Common Stock equal to (x) 0.36 multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of shares covered by such LEXPE restricted stock unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, less applicable withholding taxes, with such product rounded up to the next whole share of Expedia Group Common Stock.
