Expedia, Inc. Announces Preliminary Results of Modified “Dutch Auction” Tender Offer

     BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 11, 2007 — Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) today announced the preliminary results of its modified “Dutch auction” tender offer for up to 30 million shares of its common stock, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 10, 2007.

     Based on a preliminary count by the depositary for the tender offer, 35,728,635 shares of common stock, including 12,384,979 shares that were tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery, were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at prices at or below $22.00 per share. Based on these preliminary results, Expedia expects to acquire 30 million properly tendered shares at a purchase price of $22.00 per share, for a total cost of approximately $660 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer. These shares represent approximately 9.9% of the shares of common stock outstanding and 9.1% of the total number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, Expedia expects to acquire only a prorated portion of the shares properly tendered by each tendering stockholder at or below the final per share purchase price, other than odd lot tenders. Based on the preliminary count, Expedia has been informed by the depositary that the proration factor is approximately 84%.

     The number of shares properly tendered and not withdrawn, the price per share and the proration factor are preliminary and are subject to verification by the depositary. The final number of shares purchased, the final price per share and the final proration factor will be announced as soon as practicable following completion of the verification process. Payment for the shares accepted for purchase under the tender offer and return of all other shares tendered and not purchased will occur promptly thereafter.

     Expedia’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 20 million shares of common stock. Whether or not Expedia may make such repurchases or any additional repurchases will depend on many factors, including whether or not, in Expedia’s judgment, such future repurchases would be accretive to earnings per share, Expedia’s business and financial performance and situation, the business and market conditions at the time, including the price of the shares, and such other factors as Expedia may consider relevant. Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prohibits Expedia and its affiliates from purchasing shares of common stock, other than in the tender offer, until the expiration of ten business days following the expiration of the tender offer.
