Organization

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on January 14, 2004 under the name of Travel Search Company, Inc. On August 17, 2004, we officially changed our name to KAYAK Software Corporation (the Company). We operate KAYAK.com and other travel websites and mobile applications that allow people to search for rates and availability for airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, and other travel-related services across hundreds of websites and provide choices on where to book. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” mean KAYAK Software Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
