Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported, on September 17, 2015, Expedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Expedia ”), Xeta, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Expedia (“Merger Sub”), and Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Orbitz ”), completed the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 12, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Expedia, Merger Sub and Orbitz. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Orbitz, with Orbitz continuing as the surviving entity and as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Expedia.
On December 8, 2015, Expedia completed its private placement of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due February 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of December 8, 2015 (the “Indenture”), by and among Expedia, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Notes are guaranteed by certain of Expedia’s domestic subsidiaries, including Orbitz and certain of its 100 percent owned domestic subsidiaries. Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several with the exception of certain customary automatic subsidiary release conditions.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of December 8, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) among Expedia, Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several initial purchasers of the Notes, Expedia agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) file an exchange offer registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes and the guarantees thereof for substantially identical Notes and guarantees that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act” and such offer, the “Exchange Offer”); (ii) cause the Exchange Offer registration statement to become effective; and (iii) consummate the Exchange Offer or, if required in lieu thereof, file a shelf registration statement and have it declared effective, in each case, within 365 days of issuance of the Notes. If Expedia fails to satisfy certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement (a “Registration Default”), it will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum to the holders of the Notes until such Registration Default is cured.
In contemplation of the registration of the Notes, certain condensed consolidated financial information is included in footnote 20 to Exhibit 99.1 and footnote 13 to Exhibit 99.2. This condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared to reflect Orbitz and certain of its 100 percent owned domestic subsidiaries being guarantors of the Notes.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect the views of our management regarding current expectations and projections about future events and are based on currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, Part I, Item 1A. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans” and “believes,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements; however, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. We are not under any obligation to, and do not intend to, publicly update or review any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if experience or future events make it clear that any expected results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements will not be realized. Please carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
