        <footnote id="F1">Reflects the acquisition of common stock, par value $0.01, of Ticketmaster (&quot;TM&quot;) in connection with the spin-off by IAC/InterActiveCorp (&quot;IAC&quot;) of TM, which was completed following the close of the market on August 20, 2008.   The distribution of TM common stock was effected by way of a dividend, pursuant to which holders of IAC common stock on August 11, 2008 received one-fifth of one share of TM common stock for every one share of IAC common stock held.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Reflects the receipt of TM restricted stock units in respect of previously granted IAC restricted stock units in connection with the Spin-Off,  with adjustments (to maintain pre- and post-spin-off values) to the number of shares of IAC common stock underlying such restricted stock units, to reflect the Spin-Off and Reverse Stock Split. These previously granted restricted stock units have the same vesting and other applicable terms and conditions as they did immediately prior to the Spin-off and Reverse Stock Split.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Represents previously granted stock options, with adjustments (to maintain pre- and post-spin-off values) to the number of shares of common stock underlying such stock options and the per share exercise price  to reflect the Spin-Off and Reverse Stock Split. These previously granted stock options have the same vesting and other applicable terms and conditions as they did immediately prior to the Spin-off and Reverse Stock Split.</footnote>
