Employees
As of December 31, 2009, we had 541 full-time employees. The total number of our full-time employees
declined by 85, or 14%, from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 due primarily to headcount reductions
and to a lesser extent, migration of some of our product development cycle to external parties. We also retain
independent contractors to provide various services, primarily in connection with our content development.
Except as set forth below, we are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and we believe that our
relationship with our employees is good. Some of our foreign subsidiaries are subject to collective bargaining
agreements whose benefits and terms are codified and required under local labor laws.
