On May 7, 2001, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company announced that our Chairman, Richard S. Braddock, has been re-appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, replacing Daniel H. Schulman, and that Jeffery H. Boyd, our Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed President. In addition, Mr. Schulman has resigned as a director. Our April 23, 2001 proxy statement included Mr. Schulman as a nominee for election as a Director at our Annual Meeting on May 21, 2001. He has advised the Board that he is withdrawing as a nominee for election as a director at the 2001 Annual Meeting and that he is no longer available and will not serve as a director. As a result, the Board has reduced the number of directors comprising the whole board by one. Mr. Schulman will not be considered for election at the Annual Meeting. We are attaching a revised Notice of Meeting that specifies that we will elect nine rather than ten directors at the 2001 Annual Meeting. As we said in our 2001 Annual Report, we still have a significant amount of work to do, but we are very excited about priceline.com's current and future prospects. Not only has the priceline.com business model demonstrated its ability to generate and satisfy large numbers of customers in the largest and fastest growing e-commerce sector, the priceline.com brand is one of the single most recognized brands in all of e-commerce. We continue to be committed to building a great business and profitable company that will make a difference for our customers, suppliers, employees and stockholders. priceline.com Incorporated priceline.com Incorporated 800 Connecticut Avenue Norwalk, Connecticut 06854 REVISED NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MONDAY, MAY 21, 2001 To the Stockholders of priceline.com Incorporated: We hereby notify you that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of priceline.com Incorporated (the "Company") will be held on Monday, May 21, 2001 at 2:00 p.m. local time at the Doubletree Club Hotel, 789 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06854 for the following purposes: 1.
