<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><FONT face=serif>Expedia, Inc. to Repurchase up to 30 Million of its Common Shares In Tender Offer </FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=serif>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bellevue, Wash. </FONT></B><FONT face=serif>&#151; Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) announced today that it will repurchase up to 30 million shares of its common stock in a tender offer at a price per share not less than $18.50 and not greater than $22.00. This represents the repurchase of approximately 9.8% of the number of shares of common stock currently outstanding and 9.1% of the total number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding. The tender offer is expected to commence on December 11, 2006 and to expire, unless extended, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 10, 2007. A modified &#147;Dutch auction&#148; will allow stockholders to indicate how many shares and at what price within the company&#146;s specified range they wish to tender. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, the company will determine the lowest price per share within the range that will enable it to purchase 30 million shares, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered. The company will not purchase shares below a price stipulated by a stockholder, and in some cases, may actually purchase shares at prices above a stockholder&#146;s indication under the terms of the modified &#147;Dutch auction.&#148; Expedia, Inc.&#146;s directors and executive officers and Liberty Media Corporation have advised the company that they do not intend to tender any shares in the tender offer.</FONT></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif>Specific instructions and a complete explanation of the terms and conditions of the tender offer will be contained in the Offer to Purchase and related materials that will be mailed to stockholders of record beginning on or about December 13, 2006. MacKenzie Partners, Inc. will serve as information agent and The Bank of New York will serve as the depositary.</FONT></P>

The solicitation and offer to buy the company&#146;s common stock will only be made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and related materials that the company will send to its stockholders. Stockholders should read those materials carefully because they will contain important information, including the various terms and conditions of the tender offer.
