SECURITY AND ISSUER This constitutes Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") to the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement"), dated December 2, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated June 26, 2000, Amendment No. 2, dated October 23, 2000, and Amendment No. 3, dated November 21, 2000, with respect to shares of Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of Ticketmaster, formerly known as Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch, Inc., ("TMCS"). TMCS changed its name to "Ticketmaster" effective January 31, 2001. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to these terms in the Statement. The principal executive offices of TMCS are located at 3701 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND The first sentence of the first paragraph of Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: This Statement is filed by USA Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("USAi"), and Ticketmaster Corporation, an Illinois corporation and, as of January 31, 2001, a wholly owned subsidiary of TMCS ("Ticketmaster Corp.," and together with USAi, the "Reporting Persons"). As described in Item 5 below, on January 31, 2001, TMCS acquired Ticketmaster Corp. and, accordingly, this Amendment constitutes the final Amendment to the Statement by Ticketmaster Corp. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The information contained in Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information: On January 31, 2001, USAi and TMCS issued a joint press release announcing that USAi and TMCS had consummated the combination contemplated by the Contribution Agreement between USAi and TMCS, dated as of November 20, 2000 (the "Contribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, USAi contributed the businesses and operations of Ticketmaster Corp. to TMCS in exchange for the issuance by TMCS to USAi of 52 million shares of TMCS Class B Common Stock in addition to the shares of TMCS stock that USAi previously beneficially owned (the "Issuance"). A copy of the press release is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The information contained in Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information: As of January 31, 2001 (after giving effect to the Issuance), USAi Page 4 of 7 may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of 95,782,544 shares of the Class B Common Stock, of which (i) 42,480,143 shares are shares of Class A Common Stock, which, at the option of the holder, may be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class B Common Stock, and (ii) 53,302,401 shares are shares of Class B Common Stock. Assuming conversion of the shares of Class A Common Stock owned by USAi into shares of Class B Common Stock, USAi may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 70.8% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. Because each share of Class A Common Stock generally is entitled to fifteen votes per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, USAi may be deemed to beneficially own equity securities of TMCS representing approximately 85.1% of the voting power of TMCS based upon 47,923,463 shares of Class A Common Stock and 92,775,416 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of November 30, 2000 (after giving effect to the Issuance). As of January 31, 2001, TMCS acquired Ticketmaster Corp., and with it the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned by Ticketmaster Corp. TMCS is now the beneficial owner of such shares. As a result, Ticketmaster Corp.'s obligations to report its ownership of Class B Common Stock have ceased, and this Amendment is the final amendment to the Statement that will be filed by Ticketmaster Corp.
