Email message from Mark Britton, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and
Secretary of Expedia, Inc. to the employees of Expedia, Inc.:

To Holders of Expedia Options:

In materials and meetings relating to the USA transaction, we notified you that
you had until 12/14 (tomorrow) to exercise your options in order to give
PaineWebber enough time to process your exercise. Please be advised that we are
pushing back this 12/14 deadline to a new date that we hope to announce before
this coming Monday.

The result is that, if you are not subject to trading window restrictions, you
will have additional time to, if you so choose, exercise your options and elect
to exchange the underlying shares for USA securities. If you are subject to
trading window restrictions, the Q2 trading window will still close on 12/15;
however, if the deadline to exchange Expedia shares for USA securities in the
USA transaction falls during a period in which the Q2 window remains closed, we
intend to reopen the trading window for a short period to allow you to exercise
your options in anticipation of electing to exchange the underlying shares.

Thanks,

Mark
