Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 15, 2021, Expedia Group, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the redemption of 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), from SLP V Fort Holdings II, L.P., an affiliate of Silver Lake Group, L.L.C., and AP Fort Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc., at a price equal to 103% of the sum of the original liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus dividend accruals and accrued and unpaid distributions as of the redemption date, using cash on hand (collectively, the “Preferred Redemption”), in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). As a result of the Preferred Redemption, under the Investment Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2020, by and among the Company, SLP Fort Aggregator II, L.P. and SLP V Fort Holdings II, L.P. (together with SLP Fort Aggregator II, L.P., “Silver Lake”), Silver Lake ceased to be entitled to designate a director to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Accordingly, Greg Mondre is resigning from the Board, effective October 15, 2021. Mr. Mondre’s decision to resign was not because of any disagreement with the Company, management or the Board.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As a result of the Preferred Redemption, there are no longer any shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

Following the Preferred Redemption, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Elimination”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective on the same day. Pursuant to Section 243(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, once the Certificate of Elimination became effective, it had the effect of amending the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation so as to eliminate therefrom all reference to the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, the Certificate of Designations. The Certificate of Elimination does not affect the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company or the total number of authorized shares of preferred stock.
