Long-term Debt
Our $500 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at December 31, 2011 are due in August
2018 and bear interest at 7.456% (the “7.456% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August
of each year. The 7.456% Notes include covenants that limit our ability (i) to enter into sale/leaseback
transactions, (ii) to create or incur liens and (iii) to merge or consolidate with or into another entity. The 7.456%
Notes are repayable in whole or in part on August 15, 2013, at the option of the holders of such 7.456% Notes, at
100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. We may redeem the 7.456% Notes at a redemption price of
100% of the principal plus accrued interest, plus a “make-whole” premium, in whole or in part at any time at our
option.
Our $750 million in registered senior unsecured notes outstanding at December 31, 2011 are due in August
2020 and bear interest at 5.95% (the “5.95% Notes”). The 5.95% Notes were issued at 99.893% of par resulting
in a discount, which is being amortized over their life. Interest is payable semi-annually in February and August
of each year. The 5.95% Notes include covenants that limit our ability under certain circumstances to (i) create
certain liens, (ii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions and (iii) merge or consolidate with or into another
entity. We may redeem the 5.95% Notes at our option in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at a
specified “make-whole” premium.
The 7.456% and 5.95% Notes (collectively the “Notes”) are senior unsecured obligations guaranteed by
certain domestic Expedia subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future
