Supplement No. 1, dated June 13, 2017, to

Proxy Statement, dated April 25, 2017, for the

Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held June 20, 2017

 

The following disclosure supplements the definitive proxy statement filed by Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Liberty Expedia”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 26, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company’s board of directors for the above-referenced Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). This supplemental information should be read together with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety.  Terms used in this supplement to the Proxy Statement (this “Supplement”) and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement.

 

On June 9, 2017, a lawsuit, entitled Stein v. Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. , was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Company omitted material information from the disclosures made in the Proxy Statement regarding the incentive plan proposal.  The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and that no further disclosure is required to supplement the Proxy Statement under applicable laws.  The plaintiff also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the vote on the incentive plan proposal until the Company has made supplemental disclosures.  To eliminate the burden, expense and uncertainties resulting from the preliminary injunction motion and without admitting any wrongdoing or that these supplemental disclosures are material or required to be made, on June 13, 2017, the Company agreed to supplement the disclosures in the Proxy Statement as set forth below.  Consequently, the plaintiff agreed to withdraw her lawsuit with prejudice.

 

Supplemental Disclosure Concerning the Incentive Plan Proposal

 

The incentive plan proposal seeks stockholder approval of the adoption of the Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Company is supplementing its disclosure with respect to the incentive plan proposal with additional information regarding the approximate number of persons in each class of individuals who will be eligible to participate in the incentive plan and the basis of such participation.

 

In connection with the incentive plan proposal, the information set forth in the first paragraph under the caption “Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan” on page 15 of the Proxy Statement is amended as follows:

 

The incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors, other than awards granted to nonemployee directors which may be administered by our full board of directors or the compensation committee. In connection with the Split-Off, our board of directors approved the incentive plan and Liberty Interactive approved the plan as our sole stockholder. The incentive plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent contractors (including any employees of Liberty Media or Liberty Interactive providing services to our company) and to encourage their investment in our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. The incentive plan is also intended to (1) attract persons of exceptional ability to become our officers and employees, and (2) induce nonemployee directors and independent contractors (including employees of Liberty Media or Liberty Interactive providing services to our company) to provide services to us. Such persons will be eligible to participate in and may be granted awards under the incentive plan. The number of individuals who will receive awards under the incentive plan will vary from year to year and will depend on various factors, such as the number of promotions and our hiring needs during the year and exceptional or extraordinary performance , and whether employees, nonemployee directors or

independent contractors of our subsidiaries are granted awards . Therefore, Although we cannot predict the number of future award recipients , we estimate that there will be approximately six nonemployee directors of our company in addition to our chief executive officer who will be eligible to receive awards under the incentive plan.  We have no direct employees, and we do not currently anticipate granting any awards under the incentive plan to the employees of any of our subsidiaries, including the approximate 20,700 employees of our subsidiaries Expedia and Vitalize, on a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2016.  Other than the 2016 award of RSUs granted to Mr. Shean described below in “Executive Compensation ¾ Compensation Discussion and Analysis ¾ Elements of 2016 Executive Compensation,” we have not and do not currently plan  to grant any awards under the incentive plan to the approximate 82 employees of Liberty Media who provide services to our company under the services agreement, however, if we deem it appropriate, we may do so in the future depending upon various factors such as the number of promotions and our hiring needs during the year and exceptional or extraordinary performance . For the avoidance of doubt, employees, nonemployee directors and independent contractors of any of our affiliates may not participate in the incentive plan based solely upon their status at any such affiliate.
