Such Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.008 per share ("Common Stock") of priceline.com Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Terms defined in the Schedule 13D previously filed have the same meanings in this Amendment. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations -------------------------------------------------- Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended by adding the following: The total purchase price of the 1,566,500 shares acquired by UPL from the open market is US$6,951,799.50. The funds for UPL's purchases were provided by HWL from its internal resources. The total purchase price of the 1,566,500 shares acquired by PRL from the open market is US$6,951,799.50. The funds for PRL's purchases were provided by Cheung Kong from its internal resources. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a) (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D, as amended, are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: (a) - (b) HWL, through its ownership of FEL and UPL, beneficially owns an aggregate of 35,099,633 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 15.6% of the outstanding Common Stock as of November 12, 2001, and has shared power over the voting and disposition of such shares.
