[removed: Compensation] [added: Compensation] Discussion and [removed: Analysis][added: Analysis]
[removed: Overview][added: Overview]
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes Expedia Group’s executive compensation program as it relates to the following individuals who are “named executive officers” of Expedia Group for the fiscal year ended December 31, [removed: 2018:][added: 2019:]
| [removed: Name] [added: Name] | [removed: Position] [added: Position] With Expedia Group, [removed: Inc.] [added: Inc.] |

| Alan [removed: R.] Pickerill | [added: Former] Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer |
[removed: Compensation] [added: Compensation] Program Philosophy and [removed: Objectives][added: Objectives]
To that end, we believe that compensation packages provided to executive officers should generally include both annual cash (including performance-based bonus opportunities) and a significant [removed: longer term] [added: longer-term] equity-based component.
[removed: Roles] [added: Roles] of the Compensation Committee and Section 16 [removed: Committee][added: Committee]
[added: Historically,] Expedia Group has [added: had] a Compensation Committee and a Section 16 Committee that together [removed: have] [added: had] primary responsibility for establishing the compensation of Expedia Group’s named executive officers.
The Compensation Committee [removed: is] [added: was] responsible for (i) administering and overseeing Expedia Group’s executive compensation program, including salary matters, bonus plans and equity compensation plans, and (ii) approving all grants of equity awards, but excluding matters governed by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
The Section 16 Committee [removed: is] [added: was] responsible for administering and overseeing matters governed by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, including approving grants of equity awards to executive officers.
The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and, with the exception of Ms. [removed: Coe,] [added: Coe during her tenure,] each member [removed: satisfies] [added: satisfied] the independence requirements for Compensation Committee members under the current standards imposed by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.
The Section 16 Committee [removed: is] [added: was] also appointed by the Board of Directors and [removed: consists] [added: consisted] entirely of directors who [removed: are] [added: were] “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
[removed: Role] [added: Role] of Executive [removed: Officers][added: Officers]
[added: In the first quarter of 2019,] Mr. Diller and Mr. [removed: Okerstrom meet] [added: Okerstrom, then the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, met] with the Compensation Committees [removed: at least annually] to discuss their views on corporate performance, individual executive officer performance, and compensation packages for the executive team.
Mr. Okerstrom [removed: reviews] [added: reviewed] with the Compensation Committees the performance of Expedia Group and each named executive officer, other than himself and Messrs.
Diller and Kern, and [removed: makes] [added: made] recommendations with respect to the appropriate base salary, annual cash bonus and grants of long-term equity incentive awards.
Mr. Diller [removed: meets] [added: met] separately with the Compensation Committees to discuss [removed: his,] [added: his own,] Mr. Kern’s and Mr. Okerstrom’s performance, and to recommend an appropriate compensation package for Messrs.
The Compensation Committees then [removed: discuss] [added: discussed] each recommendation, with each of Messrs.
After considering these recommendations and other considerations discussed below, the Compensation Committees [removed: determine] [added: determined] the annual compensation package for each executive officer.
[removed: Role] [added: Role] of Compensation [removed: Consultants][added: Consultants]
In connection with the Company’s annual compensation review meetings in each of [removed: 2018] [added: 2019] and [removed: 2019, management retained] [added: 2020,] Compensia, Inc., an independent compensation consulting firm, [added: was retained] to conduct an independent review of the prior year’s compensation peer group for positions held by executive officers and to compile data from proxy statements and other SEC filings of peer [removed: companies regarding compensation for executive officer positions, where available.]
[removed: Okerstrom,][added: | Mark Okerstrom | \-- | \-- | $0 |]
A more detailed description of the compensation peer group review and use of survey and other data provided by compensation consultants is included below in the section titled [removed: “Role] [added: “*Role] of Peer Groups, Surveys and [removed: Benchmarking.”][added: Benchmarking*.”]
[removed: Role] [added: Role] of Stockholder Say-on-Pay [removed: Votes][added: Votes]
Expedia Group provides its stockholders with the opportunity to cast a triennial advisory vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay”), which reflects the preference expressed by our stockholders in 2017 with respect to the frequency of the say-on-pay [removed: vote (“say-on-frequency”).][added: vote.]
At Expedia Group’s annual meeting of stockholders held in June 2017, [removed: a substantial majority] [added: 76%] of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal.
The Compensation [removed: Committees believe] [added: Committee believes] that the vote reflected stockholder support of Expedia Group’s approach to executive compensation, and, as such, did not make changes based on the 2017 vote.
Stockholders will again have an opportunity to cast a say-on-pay vote at the [removed: Company’s] 2020 [removed: annual meeting of stockholders.][added: Annual Meeting.]
[removed: Role] [added: Role] of Peer Groups, Surveys and [removed: Benchmarking][added: Benchmarking]
[removed: Management considers multiple] [added: Multiple] data sources [added: are considered] when reviewing compensation information to ensure that the data reflect compensation practices of relevant companies in terms of size, industry and geographic location.
Among other factors, [removed: management considers] the following information, when available, [removed: in connection with its recommendations to the Compensation Committees regarding] [added: is considered when establishing] compensation for executive officers:
| • | Data from salary and equity compensation surveys that include companies of a similar size, based on market capitalization, revenues and other [removed: factors; and] [added: factors.] |
| ◦ | data regarding compensation levels for all our [removed: employees.] [added: employees; and] |
When available, [removed: management considers] competitive market compensation paid by other peer group [removed: companies,] [added: companies is considered,] but [added: the Compensation Committee] does not attempt to maintain a certain target percentile within the peer group or otherwise rely solely on such [removed: data when making recommendations to the Compensation Committees regarding compensation for executive officers.][added: data.]
Management and the Compensation [removed: Committees] [added: Committee] strive to incorporate flexibility into the compensation programs and the assessment process to respond to and adjust for the evolving business environment and the value delivered by the executive officers.
For both [removed: 2018] [added: 2019] and [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] we engaged Compensia to conduct an initial review and make recommendations regarding peer group changes.

*2019 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Changes*.
On December 3, 2019, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Mark Okerstrom as Expedia Group’s President, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors and of Alan Pickerill as Expedia Group’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, in each case effective immediately.
The Board also approved the appointment of Eric Hart to serve as acting Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Mr. Pickerill, while continuing to serve as Expedia Group’s Chief Strategy Officer.
In connection with these changes, Chairman of the Board and Senior Executive, Barry Diller, and Vice Chairman of the Board, Peter Kern, agreed to jointly preside over the Company’s day to day operations.
Compensation arrangements for Messrs.
Okerstrom and Pickerill in connection with these changes are described in the section below titled *“Severance - Okerstrom and Pickerill Severance.”*
The Board of Directors disbanded the Section 16 Committee, effective July 26, 2019 and approved amendments to the Compensation Committee charter on September 10, 2019.
For additional details regarding the amended Compensation Committee charter, as well as changes to the composition of the Compensation Committee, see “*Board Committees - Compensation Committee”* and “*Board Committees - Section 16 Committee*” in Item 10, “*Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance*.”

Compensia also advised the Compensation Committees with regard to a performance-based restricted stock unit award granted to Mr. Kern in March 2019, which is discussed below in the section titled “*Compensation Program Elements-Equity Compensation*.” Expedia Group also regularly uses non-customized survey or other data from a number of compensation consulting firms.

*Executive Officer Peer Group (other than Chairman/Senior Executive):*

| • | The addition of CenturyLink, Inc., Carnival Corporation & plc and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., CBS Corporation, Discovery, Inc., Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., Twitter, Inc. and Uber Technologies, Inc. to bolster the size of the group to ensure robust market data for a range of executive positions, and to better align on relative size and value including criteria such as revenue and market capitalization. |
| • | The removal of Booking Holdings, Inc., Starbucks Corporation and Zillow Group, Inc. as in each case the executive chair had transitioned out of that role, as well as Twitter, Inc. because Twitter no longer publicly files compensation data for its executive chair; and |

*2019 Annual Compensation Review*.
Base salaries for Messrs.
Mr. Hart’s base salary was $425,000 at the time of his appointment as acting Chief Financial Officer and was not changed in connection with his assumption of that role.
At the time of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company in December 2019, Mr. Pickerill had a target cash bonus of 80% of his base salary.
*2019 Annual Cash Bonuses*
On February 28, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved annual cash bonuses for Messrs.
Dzielak, Hart and Soliday relating to performance in 2019.
Consistent with his compensation structure since his appointment as Vice Chairman, Mr. Kern did not receive a 2019 cash bonus and Mr. Diller indicated to the Compensation Committee that he did not wish to be considered for an annual bonus for 2019.
Based on the totality of these considerations, the 2019 bonus awards to each of the named executive officers varied as a percentage of their target bonus values, but in all cases were significantly lower than the prior year in light on the Company’s 2019 financial performance as compared to the prior year.
In addition, consistent with his employment agreement, Mr. Pickerill received a cash bonus for 2019 in connection with his termination of employment, which his described below in the section titled “*Severance - Okerstrom and Pickerill 2019 Severance*.”
The following table reflects 2019 target bonus percentages and values (taking into account salary and target bonus percentage changes during 2019), as well as actual 2019 bonuses paid for each named executive officer:

2018 Named Executive Officers.
Mr. Kern was appointed Vice Chairman of Expedia Group on June 20, 2018, succeeding Mr. Kaufman who continues to serve on our Board of Directors.
Upon his appointment, Mr. Kern resigned as a member of the Company’s Audit, Compensation and Section 16 Committees, but remained as a member of the Board of Directors and was appointed to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.
Prior to his appointment as Vice Chairman, Mr. Kern received standard Expedia Group non-employee director compensation as described in the section below titled “Compensation of Directors,” but ceased to receive such compensation upon his appointment as Vice Chairman.
On August 17, 2018, Mr. Kern received an initial long-term equity award in connection with his appointment as Vice Chairman, which is described in the section below titled “Other 2018 Compensation Approvals-Initial Kern Equity Award.” Mr. Kern does not receive salary or cash bonus compensation for his service as an Expedia Group executive.
Ms. Clinton was appointed to the Compensation Committees on June 20, 2018, replacing Mr. Kern.
The Compensation Committee currently consists of Ms. Clinton, Ms. Coe, Mr. Dolgen, and Mr. Jacobson, and the Section 16 Committee currently consists of Ms. Clinton, Mr. Dolgen, and Mr. Jacobson.
Mr. Dolgen and Mr. Jacobson are Co-chairmen of the Compensation Committees.
Compensia also advised the Compensation Committees with regard to certain performance-based, long-term equity awards granted to Messrs.

2018 Annual Compensation Review.
Other than Messrs.
Pickerill and Dzielak, the Compensation Committee did not approve any changes to the base salaries of the named executive officers in connection with the 2018 annual compensation review.
Messrs.
2018 Annual Cash Bonuses.
On February 28, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved cash bonuses for each individual named executive officer, other than Mr. Kern, relating to performance in 2018.
The Committee considered a variety
of factors when approving 2018 bonuses, including the factors noted above, as well as the following financial and operational considerations:
| • | Strategic Initiatives: The Company’s launch of a new Expedia Group identity and alignment around new purpose, vision, guiding principles and strategic imperatives, including a focus on expansion efforts in identified priority markets, and Expedia Group platform capabilities. |
| • | Lodging Portfolio Growth: The Company accelerated the expansion of its supply footprint and functionality, including adding approximately 200,000 new properties and integrating an additional 218,000 HomeAway properties, pushing the total property count on the Expedia Group platform to over 1 million. |
Based on these considerations (and in the cases of Messrs.
Dzielak and Pickerill, their higher base salary levels), the 2018 bonus to each of the named executive officers receiving such bonuses was significantly higher than the prior year.
In March 2018, the Company completed its 2018 annual compensation review process and, based on management’s recommendation, the Compensation Committees approved the following compensation matters for the named executive officers:
2018 Annual Review Equity Awards.
The Section 16 Committee granted 81,004 stock options to Mr. Dzielak (as well as an award of 12,747 restricted stock units in connection with Mr. Dzielak’s entry into a new employment agreement, which is described in the section titled “Other 2018 Compensation Approvals - New Employment Agreement for Mr. Dzielak”).
Having elected to receive his 2018 annual review equity compensation in the form of both stock options and restricted stock units under the Company’s equity choice program, the Section 16 Committee granted Mr. Pickerill 40,502 stock options and 10,125 restricted stock units.
The 2018 annual review stock options and restricted stock units vest annually over four years and the stock options have a $104.50 exercise price (the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date) and a seven-year term.
In approving equity awards, the Section 16 Committee considered, with input from the Chief Executive Officer, the individual performance of Messrs.
2018 Special Long-Term Equity Awards.
The Section 16 Committee also approved the following long-term equity awards to Messrs.
Okerstrom, Dzielak and Pickerill:
The exercise price for the 2018 Special Stock Option Awards is $104.50 per share (the closing price of Expedia Group’s common stock on the date of grant), and each stock option has a seven-year term.
The Company engaged Compensia to evaluate various long-term incentive alternatives and make recommendations to the Committees.

Prior to the transfer of any Additional Shares, a transferee must deliver a proxy granting Mr. Diller sole voting control over such shares and deliver a joinder agreement agreeing to be bound by certain terms of the [removed: New] Governance Agreement.
Subject to limited exceptions, any transferred Additional Shares over which Mr. Diller does not maintain sole voting control will be automatically converted into shares of [removed: Company] [added: Expedia Group] common stock.
All Additional Shares will be automatically converted into shares of [removed: Company] [added: Expedia Group] common stock immediately following the earliest of (a) Mr. Diller’s death or disability; (b) such time as Mr. Diller no longer serves as Chairman or Senior Executive of [removed: the Company,] [added: Expedia Group,] other than as a result of his removal (other than for “cause” as defined in the [removed: New] Governance Agreement) or failure to be nominated or elected when he is willing to serve in such position; and (c) aggregate transfers by Mr. Diller (or certain limited permitted transferees of Mr. Diller) of Original Shares exceeding 5% of the outstanding voting power of [removed: the Company.][added: Expedia Group.]
[removed: The automatic conversion features described above] [added: These requirements] negotiated by the [removed: Expedia Group] Special Committee and agreed to by Mr. Diller under the New Governance Agreement [removed: do] [added: did] not exist under the [added: Former] Governance Agreement.
Additionally, subject to limited exception, no current or future holder of Original Shares or Additional Shares may participate in, or vote in favor of, or tender shares into, any change of control transaction involving at least 50% of the outstanding shares or voting power of capital stock of [removed: the Company,] [added: Expedia Group,] unless such transaction provides for the same per share consideration and mix of consideration (or election right) and the same participation rights for shares of [removed: Class B] [added: Expedia Group] common stock and [removed: shares of Company] [added: Class B] common stock.
[removed: At] [added: The New Governance Agreement also provided that, at] the first annual meeting of the [removed: Company’s] [added: Expedia Group] stockholders following the closing of the [removed: Combination] [added: Liberty Expedia Transaction] and for which a preliminary proxy statement [removed: has] [added: had] not [removed: yet] been filed prior to the [removed: Effective Time,] [added: closing of] the [removed: Company intends to] [added: Liberty Expedia Transaction, Expedia Group would] propose, and Mr. Diller [removed: has agreed to] [added: would] vote in favor of, a proposal to amend [removed: its] [added: Expedia Group’s] Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the aforementioned transfer [removed: restrictions,] [added: restrictions and provisions providing for] automatic conversion [removed: provisions and change-of-control] [added: of certain shares of Expedia Group Class B common stock, as well as the] restrictions [added: in respect of certain change-of-control transactions,] reflected in the New Governance [removed: Agreement.][added: Agreement, which proposal was approved by stockholders at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 3, 2019.]

Simultaneously with the entry into the Merger Agreement described below under “- *Relationships Involving Expedia Group and Liberty Expedia”*:
| • | Expedia Group and Mr. Diller entered into a Second Amended and Restated Governance Agreement (the “*New Governance Agreement*”) and on August 8, 2019 the Family Foundation signed a joinder to certain sections of the New Governance Agreement, which New Governance Agreement was subsequently amended on April 10, 2020; |

On April 10, 2020, Expedia Group and Mr. Diller entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the New Governance Agreement (as amended, the "*Governance Agreement*").
The Amendment was entered into pursuant to the stipulation and order entered by the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 30, 2020 (the “*Order*”), and was approved by the Special Litigation Committee of the Board formed on December 3, 2019 to, among other things, investigate and evaluate the claims raised against certain current and former members of the Board of Directors and officers of the Company in the consolidated action captioned *In re Expedia Group Stockholders Litigation*, Consolidated Case No. 2019-0494-JTL (the “*Delaware Litigation*”).
Pursuant to the New Governance Agreement, the Amendment was also authorized by a majority of the Independent Directors (as defined in the New Governance Agreement) of Expedia Group.
Pursuant to the Order, Mr. Diller may not exercise the Purchase/Exchange Right prior to the Special Litigation Committee notifying Mr. Diller that it has completed its investigation of the claims raised in the Delaware Litigation (the “*Completion Date*”).

In October 2019, Egencia, our corporate travel business, entered into a corporate travel services agreement with Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”).
Mr. Khosrowshahi is Uber’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of Uber’s Board of Directors.

Expedia Group.
Subject to the terms of an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement between Liberty Expedia Holdings and Mr. Diller, as amended as of November 4, 2016 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), Mr. Diller generally has the right to vote shares of Expedia Group common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by Liberty Expedia Holdings (the “Diller Proxy”), which proxy had been assigned by Mr. Diller to Liberty Expedia Holdings as described below.
On November 4, 2016, Qurate redeemed a portion of the outstanding shares of its Liberty Ventures common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings, which at that time was a wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate (the “Liberty Split-Off”).
At the time of the Liberty Split-Off, Liberty Expedia Holdings’ assets included all of Qurate’s interest in Expedia Group.
Pursuant to a Transaction Agreement among Mr. Diller, Qurate, Liberty Expedia Holdings, John C.
Malone and Leslie Malone, dated as of March 24, 2016 and amended and restated effective as of September 22, 2016, at the time of the Liberty Split-Off, for a period ending not later than May 4, 2018 (the “Outside Date”), (i) Mr. Diller assigned the Diller Proxy to Liberty Expedia Holdings (the “Diller Assignment”) and (ii) Mr. and Mrs. Malone granted Mr. Diller an irrevocable proxy to vote all shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings Series A common stock and Series B common stock beneficially owned by them upon completion of the Liberty Split-Off or thereafter (the “Malone Proxy”), in each case, subject to certain limitations.
On March 6, 2018, Liberty Expedia Holdings, Qurate, Mr. Malone, Mrs. Malone and Mr. Diller entered into a letter agreement, which amended the termination provisions of the Transaction Agreement to extend the Outside Date to May 4, 2019.
As a result, by virtue of the voting power associated with the Malone Proxy, the governance structure at Liberty Expedia Holdings and Mr. Diller’s continuing position as Chairman of Expedia Group’s Board of Directors, as of December 31, 2018 Mr. Diller was able to elect the directors of Liberty Expedia Holdings having the power to determine how Liberty Expedia Holdings exercised certain rights and voted the shares of Expedia Group common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by Liberty Expedia Holdings, and which Liberty Expedia Holdings as of December 31, 2018 had the power to vote, in the election of Expedia Group directors until the termination or expiration of the Diller Assignment and Malone Proxy.
See “Recent Developments” below for a description the Proposed Liberty Expedia Transaction.
Governance Agreement.
Qurate was a party to an Amended and Restated Governance Agreement with Expedia Group and Mr. Diller, dated December 20, 2011, which was assigned by Qurate to Liberty Expedia Holdings in connection with the Liberty Split\-Off (the “Governance Agreement”).
Pursuant to Liberty Expedia Holding’s Governance Agreement preemptive rights, Expedia Group issued 269,646 shares of Expedia Group common stock to Liberty Expedia Holdings on September 17, 2018, at a price per share of $113.32 and an aggregate purchase price of approximately $31 million.
Recent Developments
Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain specified conditions set forth therein, (i) the merger of Merger Sub with and into Liberty Expedia Holdings (the “Merger”), with Liberty Expedia Holdings surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger LLC, and (ii) immediately following the Merger, the merger of Liberty Expedia Holdings (as the surviving corporation in the Merger) 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 the Company.
Company common stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
At the closing of the Combination, former holders of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock are expected to own in the aggregate shares of Company common stock representing approximately 14% of the total number of outstanding shares of Company common stock and Class B common stock, based on approximately 140 million shares of Company common stock and approximately 5.7 million shares of Class B common stock currently expected to be outstanding at the closing of the Combination.
As of the Effective Time, each then-outstanding stock option with respect to shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share subject to such option (after deducting a number of shares sufficient to cover the aggregate option exercise price), less applicable tax withholding.
As of the Effective Time, each then-outstanding restricted stock award and restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock subject to such award, less applicable tax withholding.
The closing of the Combination is subject to certain mutual conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock, voting together as a single class; (2) any required approvals under the HSR Act in respect of the Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (3) the absence of any order or law that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the closing of the Combination or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related transaction documents; (4) the approval for listing of the shares of Company common stock to be issued as Merger Consideration on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the effectiveness under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to such shares; and (5) the delivery of an opinion by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP to Liberty Expedia Holdings to the effect that the Combination will not impact the tax treatment of the split off of Liberty Expedia Holdings by Qurate on November 4, 2016.
The respective obligation of each party to consummate the Combination is also conditioned upon (x) the delivery of an opinion from such party’s tax counsel to the effect that the Combination will qualify as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (y) the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality and material adverse effect qualifications), and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement.
The Company’s obligation to consummate the Combination is further conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions to the completion of the exchange pursuant to the Exchange Agreement as described below.
The Combination does not require the approval of the Company’s stockholders.
At the closing of the Combination, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of the three directors serving on the Expedia Group Board of Directors who were nominated by Liberty Expedia Holdings is expected to resign from the Expedia Group Board of Directors.
The Expedia Group Board of Directors approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby following the recommendation of a special committee (the “Expedia Group Special Committee”) consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors, each of whom had been elected by the holders of Company common stock voting together as a class (without the vote of the Class B common stock), to which the Expedia Group Board of Directors had delegated exclusive authority to consider and negotiate the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the Exchange Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the New Governance Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as described below).
Voting Agreement
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and following the termination of the Malone Proxy as described below, Mr. John C.
Malone and Mrs. Leslie Malone (collectively, the “Malone Group”) entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Company on April 15, 2019, pursuant to which the Malone Group has committed, subject to certain conditions, to vote shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock representing approximately 32% of the total voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock as of January 31, 2019, as reported in Liberty Expedia Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed on February 8, 2019, in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at any meeting of the stockholders of Liberty Expedia Holdings called to vote upon the Merger.
Exchange Agreement
The Purchase/Exchange Right may be exercised from time to time in whole or in part.
Assuming the exercise in full by Mr. Diller of the Purchase/Exchange Right, the Original Shares and Additional Shares would collectively represent approximately 49% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of Company common stock and Class B common stock, assuming a total of approximately 133 million shares of Company common stock and 12,799,999 shares of Class B common stock outstanding immediately following the exercise of the Purchase/Exchange Right.
These requirements negotiated by the Expedia Group Special Committee and agreed to by Mr. Diller under the New Governance Agreement do not exist under the Governance Agreement.
Other Agreements
As described above, pursuant to Diller Proxy under the Stockholders Agreement, Mr. Diller generally has the right to vote the shares of Company common stock and Class B common stock held by Liberty Expedia Holdings and its subsidiaries, which shares represent approximately 53% of the total voting power of all shares of Company common stock and Class B common stock, based on a total of 134,390,305 shares of Company common stock and 12,799,999 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of January 25, 2019.
Pursuant to the Diller Assignment, Mr. Diller assigned the Diller Proxy to Liberty Expedia Holdings, and, pursuant to the Malone Proxy (collectively, with the “Diller Assignment,” the “Proxy Swap Arrangements”), the Malone Group granted to Mr. Diller a proxy over the shares of Liberty Expedia Holdings common stock owned by it.
On April 15, 2019 and prior to the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement, Mr. Diller, Liberty Expedia Holdings, Qurate and the Malone Group entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Transaction Agreement providing for the immediate termination of the Transaction Agreement, which automatically resulted in the termination of the Diller Assignment and the Malone Proxy.
Upon the closing of the Combination, it is expected that the Company will no longer be a controlled company under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules.
Accordingly, following permitted phase-in periods, the Company will be required, among other things, to have to have a majority of independent directors on its Board of Directors, a compensation committee consisting solely of independent directors and a director nominations process whereby directors are selected by a nominations committee consisting solely of independent directors or by a vote of the Board of Directors in which only independent directors participate.
Additionally, all additional shares will be automatically converted into shares of Company common stock immediately following the earliest of (a) Mr. Diller’s death or disability, (b) such time as Mr. Diller no longer serves as chairman or senior executive of Expedia Group, other than as a result of his removal (other than for “cause” as defined in the New Governance Agreement), or failure to be nominated or elected when he is willing to serve in such position, and (c) aggregate transfers by Mr. Diller (or certain limited permitted transferees of Mr. Diller) of original shares exceeding 5% of the outstanding voting power of the Company.
Therefore, while it is possible that Mr. Diller may at some point in the future beneficially own more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company, the provisions of the New Governance Agreement provide that following one of the triggers mentioned above, the number of shares of Class B common stock acquired by Mr. Diller in the transaction will not exceed approximately 5.7 million shares of Class B common stock, or approximately 29% of the total voting power of Expedia Group based on approximately 140 million shares of Company common stock and approximately 5.7 million shares of Class B common stock currently expected to be outstanding at the closing of the Combination.
