PROXY SUMMARY

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT

We recognize climate change and adverse impacts on
the natural world are among the most pressing
challenges facing humanity today. Environmental
sustainability has implications for markets, and our
investors. Moreover, how we manage our environmental
impact matters to our employees, our customers, our
business partners, and our other stakeholders.

We are privileged to operate in many communities, and
we take seriously our role as a leader and partner within,
and contributor to, these communities.

Through the products and services we provide, our
charitable giving and volunteerism, and our broader
community relations, we strive to connect with and serve
our local communities, for the benefit of our employees,
businesses, customers, and neighbors.

CULTURE

ETHICS & INTEGRITY

We believe that the ability to engage a dynamic and
thoughtful workforce is key to creating value. We
nurture a company culture of diversity, equity, and
inclusion where everyone can unlock their full potential,
both at our company and across our portfolio of
businesses. Additionally, our focus on recruitment,
development and succession planning, and fair labor
practices are key focal points of our human capital
strategy.

Our Board of Directors and leadership team lead with
principle and integrity and expect each of our companies
to do the same. This means aligning their business
strategies with the long-term interests of all their

PURPOSE

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:

• the election of directors proposal, to elect Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone, to continue serving as Class IIl

members of our Board until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal;

• the auditors ratification proposal, to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year

ending December 31, 2024; and

• the say-on-pay proposal, to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as

described in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation”.

You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting,
although we are not aware at this time of any other business that might come before the annual meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals for inclusion in the proxy
materials and recommends that you vote FOR the election of each director nominee, FOR the
auditors ratification proposal and FOR the say-on-pay proposal.

QUORUM

In order to conduct the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that the holders of at
least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record
date (as defined below) and entitled to vote at the annual meeting must be represented at the annual meeting either in
person or by proxy. Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum at
the meeting. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if you
indicate on your proxy that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of
proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if
those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker
non-votes) will nevertheless be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See “—Voting
Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes” below.

WHO MAY VOTE

Holders of shares of our common stock, as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 16,
2024 (such date and time, the record date for the annual meeting), will be entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to
vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

VOTES REQUIRED

Each director nominee who receives a plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common
stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the
annual meeting, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office.

Approval of each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by
proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

Virtual attendance at the annual meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of each required vote.

VOTES YOU HAVE

At the annual meeting, holders of shares of LTRPA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of LTRPB will have
ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date. Holders of LTRPP shares will
not be eligible to vote at the annual meeting.

SHARES OUTSTANDING

As of the record date, 73,084,484 shares of LTRPA and 4,232,532 shares of LTRPB were issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

NUMBER OF HOLDERS

There were, as of the record date, 720 and 39 record holders of LTRPA and LTRPB, respectively (which amounts do not
include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include each
such institution as one holder).

VOTING PROCEDURES FOR RECORD HOLDERS

Holders of record of LTRPA and LTRPB as of the record date may vote via the Internet at the annual meeting or prior to
the annual meeting by telephone or through the Internet. Alternatively, if they received a paper copy of the proxy materials
by mail, they may give a proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card by mail.

Holders of record may vote their shares electronically during the meeting via the Internet by visiting
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LTAH2024. To enter the annual meeting, holders will need the 16-digit control
number that is printed on their Notice or proxy card. We recommend logging in at least fifteen minutes before the meeting
to ensure that they are logged in when the meeting starts. Online check-in will start shortly before the meeting on June 10,
2024.

Instructions for voting prior to the annual meeting by using the Internet are printed on the Notice or the proxy card. In order
to vote prior to the annual meeting through the Internet, holders should have their Notices or proxy cards available so
they can input the required information from the Notice or proxy card, and log onto the Internet website address shown on
the Notice or proxy card. When holders log onto the Internet website address, they will receive instructions on how to
vote their shares. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our common stock represented by a proxy submitted as described
herein and received at or before the annual meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is recommended that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting.
You may change your vote at the annual meeting.

If you submit a properly executed proxy without indicating any voting instructions as to a proposal enumerated in the
Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of each
director nominee and “FOR” each of the auditors ratification proposal and the say-on-pay proposal.

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 11

THE ANNUAL ME ET IN G

If you submit a proxy indicating that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect on the election of
directors proposal, and it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” each of the auditors ratification proposal and the
say-on-pay proposal.

If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether any
of the proposals are approved (if a quorum is present).

VOTING PROCEDURES FOR SHARES HELD IN STREET NAME

GENERAL

If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by
your broker, bank or other nominee when voting your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of the
New York Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees
from voting shares on behalf of their clients without specific instructions from their clients with respect to numerous matters,
including, in our case, the election of directors proposal and the say-on-pay proposal, each as described in this proxy
statement. Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, we encourage you to provide
promptly specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

EFFECT OF BROKER NON-VOTES

Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our common stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a
quorum but will have no effect on any of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee
provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of LTRPA and LTRPB or how to change your vote or revoke your
proxy.

REVOKING A PROXY

If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by attending the annual
meeting online and voting via the Internet at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed
proxy with a later date to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Any signed proxy
revocation or new signed proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting. In addition, you may change your
vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 11:59 p.m.,
New York City time, on June 9, 2024.

Your attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.

If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your
vote or revoke your proxy.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

We are soliciting proxies by means of the proxy materials on behalf of our Board of Directors. In addition to this mailing,
our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We also reimburse
brokers and other nominees for their expenses in sending the proxy materials to you and getting your voting instructions.

If you have any further questions about voting or attending the annual meeting, please contact Liberty TripAdvisor Investor
Relations at (844) 826-8736 or Broadridge at (888) 789-8410 (outside the United States (303) 562-9272).

OTHER MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Our Board of Directors is not currently aware of any business to be acted on at the annual meeting other than that which
is described in the Notice and this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought to a vote at the annual
meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote or to act on these matters according to their best

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERVIEW

What am I being
asked to vote on
and how should I
vote?

We are asking our stockholders to elect Gregory B. Maffei and
Michael J. Malone to continue serving as Class IIl members of our
Board until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier
resignation or removal.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors, divided among
three classes. Our Class IIl directors, whose term will expire at the annual
meeting, are Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone. These directors are
nominated for election to our Board to continue to serve as Class IIl directors,
and we have been informed that each of Messrs. Maffei and Malone is
willing to continue to serve as a director of our company. The term of the

Class IIl directors who are elected at the annual meeting will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year
2027. Our Class I directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in the year 2025, are Larry E.
Romrell and J. David Wargo. Our Class Il directors, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of our stockholders in
the year 2026, are Christy Haubegger, Chris Mueller and Albert Rosenthaler.

If any nominee should decline election or should become unable to serve as a director of our company for any reason
before election at the annual meeting, votes will be cast by the persons appointed as proxies for a substitute nominee, if
any, designated by the Board of Directors.

The following lists the two nominees for election as directors at the annual meeting and the five directors of our company
whose term of office will continue after the annual meeting, and includes as to each person how long such person has been
a director of our company, such person’s professional background, other public company directorships and other factors
considered in the determination that such person possesses the requisite qualifications and skills to serve as a member of
our Board of Directors. For additional information on our Board’s evaluation of director candidates or incumbent directors
seeking re-election, see “Corporate Governance—Board Criteria and Director Candidates.” The number of shares of our
common stock beneficially owned by each director is set forth in this proxy statement under the caption “Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Messrs. Maffei and Malone,
each of whom is nominated for election at the annual meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our company
and such nominations were approved by the entire Board of Directors.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

A plurality of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented
by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the annual meeting, voting together as
a single class, is required to elect each of Gregory B. Maffei and Michael J. Malone as a Class IIl member of our Board of
Directors.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR EACH DIRECTOR NOMINEE

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR each director nominee. These individuals
bring a range of relevant experiences and overall diversity of perspectives that is essential to good
governance and leadership of our company.

Corporate Governance

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

It is our policy that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors be independent of our management. For a
director to be deemed independent, our Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or
indirect material relationship with us. To assist our Board of Directors in determining which of our directors qualify as
independent for purposes of applicable rules and regulations, including those adopted by the SEC, the nominating and
corporate governance committee of our Board of Directors follows Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules on the criteria for
director independence.

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Christy Haubegger, Michael J. Malone, Chris Mueller, Larry E.
Romrell and J. David Wargo qualifies as an independent director of our company.

BOARD COMPOSITION

As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our Board is comprised of directors with a
broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, strategy development, marketing,
technology, venture capital, private equity, real estate finance, auditing and financial engineering. For more information on
our policies with respect to Board candidates, see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates” below.

BOARD CLASSIFICATION

As described above under “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our Board of Directors currently consists of
seven directors, divided among three classes. Our Board believes that its current classified structure, with directors serving
for three-year terms, is the appropriate board structure for our company at this time and is in the best interests of our
stockholders for the following reasons.

LONG-TERM FOCUS & ACCOUNTABILITY

Our Board believes that a classified board encourages our directors to look to the long-term best interest of our company
and our stockholders, rather than being unduly influenced by the short-term focus of certain investors and special interests.
In addition, our Board believes that three-year terms focus director accountability on the Board’s long-term strategic
vision and performance, rather than short-term pressures and circumstances.

CONTINUITY OF BOARD LEADERSHIP

A classified board allows for a greater amount of stability and continuity providing institutional perspective and knowledge
to both management and less-tenured directors. By its very nature, a classified board ensures that at any given time
there will be experienced directors serving on our Board who are fully immersed in and knowledgeable about our
businesses, including our relationships with current and potential strategic partners, as well as the competition, opportunities,
risks and challenges that exist in the industries in which our businesses operate. We also believe the benefit of a classified
board to our company and our stockholders comes not from continuity alone but rather from the continuity of highly
qualified, engaged and knowledgeable directors focused on long-term stockholder interests. Each year, our nominating
and corporate governance committee works actively to ensure our Board continues to be comprised of such individuals.

BOARD DIVERSITY

Our Board understands and appreciates the value and enrichment provided by a diverse board. As such, we actively seek
diverse director candidates (see “—Board Criteria and Director Candidates”).

Gregory B. Maffei currently serves as our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer (principal
executive officer) and is responsible for identifying and implementing strategic initiatives as well as providing executive
leadership. Our Board believes that our President and Chief Executive Officer is best suited to serve as Chairman of the
Board, because he is the director most familiar with our company’s business and industry, and most capable of effectively
identifying strategic priorities for our company, leading the Board in discussions regarding our business and strategic
direction, and focusing the Board on execution of strategy. Independent directors and management have different
perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from
outside our company and industry, while our President and Chief Executive Officer brings significant financial and
operational experience based on his past and present senior policy making positions as a director and/or executive officer
at our company and other large public companies. Our Board believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board
and President and Chief Executive Officer promotes strategy development and execution, and facilitates information flow
between management and the Board. In light of the active involvement by our independent directors, our Board has not
named a lead independent director.

BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant
Board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks and risks relating to potential conflicts of
interest. Our compensation committee oversees the management of risks relating to our compensation arrangements
with senior officers. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the nomination of individuals with the
judgment, skills, integrity, and independence necessary to oversee the key risks associated with our company, as well
as risks inherent in our corporate structure. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full Board. In addition,
the oversight and review of other strategic risks are conducted directly by the full Board.

The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are
designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical short-,
intermediate- and long-term risks. These areas of focus include existing and emerging strategic, operational, financial and
reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, cybersecurity and other risks, including those related to
material environmental and social matters such as climate change, human capital management, diversity, equity and
inclusion, and community relations. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from Mr. Maffei, which are
prepared with input from our senior management team, and also include input from our Internal Audit group and our

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

CO R PORATE GOV E RNAN CE

Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, who manages our company’s sustainability efforts and remains in regular
contact with senior sustainability leaders at Tripadvisor who provide feedback and disclosure on material issues. Our
company also receives the benefit of Liberty Media’s Corporate Responsibility Committee, which has cross-functional
representation across all reaches of Liberty Media’s leadership. With our Board’s oversight, we seek to collaborate with
Tripadvisor to drive best practices through regular sustainability-focused internal meetings and discussions, including on
topics such as sustainability disclosure, diversity and inclusion, and cybersecurity.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which
constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of business
conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.libertytripadvisorholdings.com/investors/governance/governance-
documents.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no family relationship between any of our executive officers or directors, by blood, marriage or adoption.

During the past ten years, none of our directors and executive officers has had any involvement in such legal proceedings
as would be material to an evaluation of his or her ability or integrity.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has four standing committees: audit, compensation, executive and nominating and corporate
governance. The key responsibilities and focus areas of each committee, as well as their current members and information
on number of meetings during 2023, are set forth below. The written charters for the audit, compensation and nominating
and corporate governance committees as adopted by each such committee, as well as our corporate governance
guidelines, can be found on our website at www.libertytripadvisorholdings.com.

Our Board of Directors, by resolution, may from time to time establish other committees of our Board of Directors,
consisting of one or more of our directors. Any committee so established will have the powers delegated to it by resolution
of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable law.

The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of each of the audit, compensation and nominating and
corporate governance committees are independent. See “—Director Independence.”

Compensation Committee
Report, page 49

The compensation committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities
relating to compensation of our company’s executives and produces an annual
report on executive compensation for inclusion in our annual proxy statement.

In August 2014, the spin-off of our company (formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Qurate Retail) from Qurate Retail was completed (the Spin-Off). In connection with
the Spin-Off, we entered into a Services Agreement, dated August 27, 2014, with
Liberty Media (the services agreement), pursuant to which Liberty Media provides
us with administrative, executive and management services.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate the services fee under the services agreement on at least an annual
basis, subject to certain exceptions (such as in 2019 during the then-ongoing
negotiations relating to Mr. Maffei’s compensation arrangement);

• May approve incentive awards or other forms of compensation to employees of
Liberty Media who are providing services to our company, which employees
include our executive officers. The compensation committee determined to
grant equity award compensation for 2023 (see “Executive Compensation—
Compensation Discussion and Analysis”);

• If we engage a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer,
chief administrative officer, chief accounting officer or principal financial officer
to perform services for our company outside the services agreement, review
and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of
any such person; and

• Oversee the compensation of the chief executive officers of any non-public

operating subsidiaries of our company, although at this time our only operating
subsidiary is Tripadvisor, which is a publicly-traded company.

For a description of our current processes and policies for consideration and
determination of executive compensation, including the role of our Chief Executive
Officer and an outside consultant in determining or recommending amounts and/or
forms of compensation, see “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion

BOARD CRITERIA AND DIRECTOR CANDIDATES

BOARD CRITERIA. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should
possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the
long-term interests of our stockholders. To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific
minimum criteria. As described in our corporate governance guidelines, director candidates are identified and nominated
based on broad criteria, with the objective of identifying and retaining directors that can effectively develop our company’s
strategy and oversee management’s execution of that strategy. In the director candidate identification and nomination
process, our Board seeks a breadth of experience from a variety of industries and from professional disciplines, along with
a diversity of gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one
recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• independence from management;

• his or her unique background, including education, professional experience, relevant skill sets and diversity of

gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics;

• judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;

• existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;

• personal conflicts of interest, if any; and

• the size and composition of the existing Board of Directors, including whether the potential director nominee would
positively impact the composition of the Board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the Board of Directors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular
criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.

OUTSIDE COMMITMENTS. In recent years, some investors and proxy advisors have instituted “bright-line” proxy voting
policies on the number of outside public company boards that a director may serve on. Our Board of Directors recognizes
investors’ concerns that highly sought-after directors could lack the time and attention to adequately perform their duties
and responsibilities, and considers each director’s performance and commitment to ensure their continued effectiveness as
a director. Given our company’s ownership interest in Tripadvisor, our company and our Board values the positions
certain of our directors and members of management hold on Tripadvisor’s board, as they provide our company with
unique insight and input into Tripadvisor’s business and operations. The nominating and corporate governance committee
also recognizes and values the benefits derived by our directors from their service on other public company boards, as
such service provides our directors with diverse perspectives, in-depth industry knowledge and cross-industry insights, all
of which enhance the knowledge base and skill set of our Board as a whole.

Our Board also recognizes the uniqueness of the relationships among Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband,
Atlanta Braves Holdings and Liberty TripAdvisor, including the collaborative approach to addressing sustainability, as well as
with the portfolio of assets within each of these public companies. To the extent our directors serve on more than one of
the boards of these companies, we believe that such service is an important aspect of our directors’ (including Mr. Maffei’s)
service, as it capitalizes on various synergies between and among these boards. For this reason, we believe that a better
presentation of these directors’ outside commitments is to consider the number of their “non-Liberty” public company board
directorships (see “Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal—Our Board at a Glance”). Based on this perspective,
we have considered the facts-and-circumstances of the roles of our directors with our company, including the following
considerations:

• from a historical perspective, the significant time and resources each of these directors has regularly dedicated to

our company;

• the nature of their board commitments relating to their respective roles with these companies;

• the synergies between their respective service on these other boards and ours;

• their respective service on “non-Liberty” public company board directorships; and

• the respective directors’ personal skills, expertise and qualifications (including the broad industry knowledge of

each such director).

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 27

CO R PORATE GOV E RNAN CE

We believe that the outside service of our directors does not conflict with, and instead enhances, their respective roles
and responsibilities at our company.

DIRECTOR CANDIDATE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS. The nominating and corporate governance committee will
consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder provided that such recommendations are properly
submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the
recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., 12300 Liberty Boulevard,
Englewood, Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed
under “The Annual Meeting—Stockholder Proposals” above, and contain the following information:

• the name and address of the proposing stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination
is being made, and documentation indicating the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially and
of record by such person and the holder or holders of record of those shares, together with a statement that the
proposing stockholder is recommending a candidate for nomination as a director;

• the candidate’s name, age, business and residence addresses, principal occupation or employment, business

experience, educational background and any other information relevant in light of the factors considered by the
nominating and corporate governance committee in making a determination of a candidate’s qualifications, as
described below;

• a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding between the proposing stockholder and/or

beneficial owner(s), if different, and any other person(s) (including their names) under which the proposing stockholder
is making the nomination and any affiliates or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such
proposing stockholder(s) or beneficial owner (each a Proposing Person);

• a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding that might affect the independence of the

candidate as a member of our Board of Directors;

• any other information that would be required under SEC rules in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election

of such candidate as a director;

• a representation as to whether the Proposing Person intends (or is part of a group that intends) to deliver any proxy

materials or otherwise solicit proxies in support of the director nominee;

• a representation by each Proposing Person who is a holder of record of our common stock as to whether the

notice is being given on behalf of the holder of record and/or one or more beneficial owners, the number of shares
held by any beneficial owner along with evidence of such beneficial ownership and that such holder of record is
entitled to vote at the annual stockholders meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual
stockholders meeting at which the person named in such notice is to stand for election;

• a written consent of the candidate to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director, if nominated and

elected;

• a representation as to whether the Proposing Person has received any financial assistance, funding or other

consideration from any other person regarding the nomination (a Stockholder Associated Person) (including the
details of such assistance, funding or consideration); and

• a representation as to whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transaction has been

entered into with respect to our company within the last six months by, or is in effect with respect to, the Proposing
Person, any person to be nominated by the proposing stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect
or intent of which transaction is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase
or decrease the voting power of, the Proposing Person, its nominee, or any such Stockholder Associated Person.

In connection with its evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may request additional information
from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee has sole
discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors. The nominating and corporate governance
committee will evaluate a prospective nominee suggested by any stockholder in the same manner and against the same
criteria as any other prospective nominee identified by the nominating and corporate governance committee.

When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from
incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee,
the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be

2 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

CO RPO RATE GOV E RNAN CE

suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with
management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to
our Board of Directors, it may recommend to the full Board that candidate’s nomination and election.

Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and
corporate governance committee will consider the director’s past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the
Board of Directors and its committees and the director’s formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted
by the Board and the Board committees of which such individual is a member. In addition, the nominating and corporate
governance committee will consider any outside directorships held by such individual. See “—Outside Commitments” above.

BOARD MEETINGS

During 2023, there were 4 meetings of our full Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL MEETINGS

Our Board of Directors encourages all members of the Board to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders. Four of
our seven directors then-serving attended our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATION WITH DIRECTORS

Our stockholders may send communications to our Board of Directors or to individual directors by mail addressed to the
Board of Directors or to an individual director c/o Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood,
Colorado 80112. All such communications from stockholders will be forwarded to our directors on a timely basis.
Stockholders are also encouraged to send communications to Liberty TripAdvisor Investor Relations, which conducts
robust stockholder engagement efforts for our company and provides our Board with insight on stockholder concerns.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

In 2023, the independent directors of our company, then serving, met at three executive sessions without management
participation.

Any interested party who has a concern regarding any matter that it wishes to have addressed by our independent
directors, as a group, at an upcoming executive session may send its concern in writing addressed to Independent Directors
of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., c/o Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood,
Colorado 80112. The current independent directors of our company are Christy Haubegger, Michael J. Malone, Chris

Director Compensation

NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

DIRECTOR FEES

Each of our directors who is not an employee of, or service provider to, our company is paid an annual fee for 2024 of
$178,700 (which, in 2023, was $170,200) (we refer to this as the director fee). For service on our Board in 2023, each
director fee was paid 25% in LTRPA restricted stock units (RSUs), which were granted in December 2022 under the 2019
incentive plan (defined below) and vested one year from the grant date, and the remaining 75% of the director fee was paid
in cash. Due to share availability considerations under the 2019 incentive plan, the entirety of the 2024 director fee will
be paid in cash.

Fees for service on our audit committee, compensation committee, executive committee and nominating and corporate
governance committee are the same for 2024 and 2023. With respect to our audit committee, compensation committee and
nominating and corporate governance committee, each member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $15,000,
$10,000 and $10,000, respectively, for his or her participation on each such committee, except that the chairperson of each
such committee instead receives an additional annual fee of $25,000, $15,000 and $15,000, respectively, for his or her
participation on that committee. With respect to our executive committee, each member thereof who is not an employee
of, or service provider to, our company receives an additional annual fee of $5,000 for his participation on that committee.
The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As discussed below, awards granted to our nonemployee directors under the Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. 2019
Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2019 incentive plan) are administered by our Board of Directors or our compensation
committee. Our Board of Directors has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and
to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2019 incentive plan is designed to provide
additional remuneration to our nonemployee directors for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our capital
stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business and to aid in attracting persons of exceptional ability to
become nonemployee directors of our company. Our Board of Directors may grant non-qualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the
foregoing under the 2019 incentive plan.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2019
incentive plan is 5,000,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the respective plans. Under the
2019 incentive plan, no nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar year awards having a value determined
on the date of grant in excess of $3 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the
2019 incentive plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but
reacquired by our company.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our Board of Directors previously had adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally required each nonemployee
director to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of their annual cash retainer fees.
Nonemployee directors had five years from the nonemployee director’s initial appointment to our Board to comply with these
guidelines. In December 2023, our Board of Directors eliminated these stock holding guidelines.

PRO POSAL 2 – T H E AUDITORS R AT IF I CATION P RO P O S A L

Proposal 2 – The Auditors Ratification
Proposal

What am I being
asked to vote on
and how should I
vote?

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as
our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2024.

Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our
Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different
independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit
committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event
our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee
will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the year ending
December 31, 2024.

A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be available to answer appropriate questions at the annual meeting and will
have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION

The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our voting stock that are
present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to
approve the auditors ratification proposal.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR this proposal because KPMG LLP is an
independent firm with few ancillary services and reasonable fees, and has significant industry and
financial reporting expertise.

POLICY ON PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT
SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services
provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our
independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services):

• audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services
associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with
securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal
controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions;

• audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of

employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of
transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of
our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general
assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and

• tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and

review services, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if, in the reasonable judgment of our Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is likely to result in fees in excess
of $50,000, or if individual projects under $50,000 are likely to total $250,000 during the period between the regularly
scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee.
Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee,
subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Chris Mueller
currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the independent auditor is required to provide a report
at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter.
Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval
of our audit committee. Under our policy, any fees incurred by Tripadvisor in connection with the provision of services by

Tripadvisor’s policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by its independent
auditor in effect at the time of such approval. Such approval by Tripadvisor’s audit committee pursuant to its policy is deemed
to be pre-approval of the services by our audit committee.

Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to

All services provided by our independent auditor during 2023 were approved in accordance with the terms of the policy

Audit Committee Report

Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our Board of Directors, based on the
listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC’s independence requirements for
members of audit committees. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Mueller is an “audit committee financial
expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors. Management has
primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and
for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity
of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent
auditor also expresses its opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated
financial statements, as well as management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting and KPMG LLP’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) and the SEC, including that firm’s judgment about the quality
of our accounting principles, as applied in its financial reporting.

KPMG LLP has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable
requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence,
and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP that firm’s independence from our company and its subsidiaries.

Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our
Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Proposal 3 – The Say-on-Pay Proposal

What am I being
asked to vote on
and how should I
vote?

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve,
on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers
as described below in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange
Act. This advisory vote is often referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote and
allows our stockholders to express their views on the overall
compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our company
values the views of its stockholders and is committed to the efficiency
and effectiveness of our company’s executive compensation program.

Our most recent advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive

officers was held at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders on July 28, 2021 (the 2021 annual meeting), at which
stockholders representing a majority of our aggregate voting power present and entitled to vote on the say-on-pay proposal
voted in favor of, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation as disclosed in our proxy statement for our 2021
annual meeting. At our 2021 annual meeting, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years, and our
board of directors adopted this as the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation would be held.
Our next advisory vote on executive compensation will be held in 2027.

We are seeking stockholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy
statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which include the disclosures under “Executive Compensation—
Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables (including all related footnotes) and any additional
narrative discussion of compensation included herein. Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Executive Compensation—
Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our company’s
executive compensation policies and procedures and how they were applied for 2023.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of
good corporate governance, our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at
the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the
compensation paid to our company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the
rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any related narrative
discussion.”

ADVISORY VOTE
Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our Board and our company, our Board and the compensation committee,
which is responsible for designing and administering our company’s executive compensation program, value the opinions
expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future
compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.

VOTE AND RECOMMENDATION
This advisory resolution, which we refer to as the say-on-pay proposal, will be considered approved if it receives the
affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present
in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the say-on-pay proposal because the
compensation structure is aligned with our ultimate goal of appropriately motivating our executives
to increase long-term stockholder value.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SERVICES AGREEMENT

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the services agreement with Liberty Media in August 2014, pursuant to
which Liberty Media provides to our company certain administrative and management services, and we pay Liberty Media
a monthly management fee, the amount of which is subject to quarterly review by our audit committee (and at least an
annual review by our compensation committee). As a result, Liberty Media employees, including our named executive
officers other than Mr. Maffei, who is paid certain compensation elements directly by our company pursuant to the amended
services agreement as described below, are typically not separately compensated by our company other than with
respect to equity awards with respect to our common stock and with respect to performance-based cash bonuses. See
“—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation” and “—Elements of 2023 Executive
Compensation—2023 Performance-Based Bonuses” below for information concerning equity awards granted to and
performance-based cash bonuses paid to our named executive officers in 2023.

In December 2019, the services agreement was amended (the amended services agreement) in connection with Liberty
Media entering into a new employment arrangement with Mr. Maffei (the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement). Under
the amended services agreement, our company establishes, and pays or grants directly to Mr. Maffei, our allocable portion
of his annual performance-based cash bonus, his annual equity-based awards and his Upfront Awards (as defined

3 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

below), and we reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of the other components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation,
as described in more detail below in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—2019 Maffei
Employment Agreement.” Under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei’s compensation is allocated across
Liberty Media, and each of our company, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and, following its split-off from Liberty Media in
July 2023, Atlanta Braves Holdings (each a Service Company, or, collectively, the Service Companies) based on two
factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each series of stock of each company and (ii) the
average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media employees across all companies and (b) Mr. Maffei’s
percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different allocation method is agreed. Our allocable portion
of Mr. Maffei’s compensation was 5% in 2023. The salary, certain perquisite information and other compensation elements
of Mr. Maffei that were not paid or granted directly by our company included in the “Summary Compensation Table”
below include the portion of his compensation allocable to our company and for which we reimbursed Liberty Media and
do not include the portion of his compensation allocable to Liberty Media or any of the other Service Companies. For the
year ended December 31, 2023, we accrued management fees payable to Liberty Media under the amended services
agreement of $2.6 million, not including the portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation allocable to our company and for which
we reimbursed Liberty Media.

ROLE OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS; SETTING EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION

As a result of the management fee paid to Liberty Media, the compensation committee typically does not expect to
provide compensation to the executive officers other than to Mr. Maffei pursuant to the amended services agreement and
to the other executive officers with regard to equity incentive compensation and performance cash bonuses. Mr. Maffei may
make recommendations with respect to any equity compensation and performance cash bonuses to be awarded to our
executive officers. It is expected that Mr. Maffei, in making any related recommendations to our compensation committee,
will evaluate the performance and contributions of each of our executive officers, given his or her respective area of
responsibility, and, in doing so, will consider various qualitative factors such as:

• the executive officer’s experience and overall effectiveness;

• the executive officer’s performance during the preceding year;

• the responsibilities of the executive officer, including any changes to those responsibilities over the year; and

• the executive officer’s demonstrated leadership and management ability.

When determining the extent to which the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Cash Awards (each as defined below) were earned
by our named executive officers, our compensation committee considered the recommendations obtained from Mr. Maffei
as to the performance of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. To make these recommendations, Mr. Maffei
evaluated the performance and contributions of each such named executive officer.

In December 2019, our compensation committee approved the amended services agreement, which established the
terms and conditions of our allocable portion of Mr. Maffei’s compensation for the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement. See “—Services Agreement” above.

At the 2021 annual stockholder meeting, stockholders representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of Liberty
TripAdvisor present and entitled to vote on its say-on-pay proposal voted in favor of, on an advisory basis, Liberty TripAdvisor’s
executive compensation, as disclosed in our proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. No material
changes were implemented to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. In addition, at the 2021
annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders elected to hold a say-on-pay vote every three years. At the annual
meeting, we are submitting for consideration a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation.
See “Proposal 3—The-Say-on-Pay Proposal.”

ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Prior to entering into the amended services agreement with Liberty Media in connection with the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement, our compensation committee engaged FW Cook, an independent and experienced compensation consultant,
to assist in determining the reasonableness of compensation to be allocated to our company under the amended services
agreement.

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 39

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

In order to assess the reasonableness of compensation, FW Cook evaluated the market value of Mr. Maffei’s role at our
company and the proposed allocation to our company under the service arrangement. Given the unique nature of Mr. Maffei’s
role at our company, FW Cook evaluated the market value of the executive job at our company through three different
lenses: as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and managing partner of a private equity firm.

In assessing the reasonableness of pay as Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board, FW Cook and the
compensation committee reviewed pay data for companies comparable to ours, including companies in the online travel,
real estate, insurance, media and marketplace industries, and companies with which we may compete for executive talent
and stockholder investment and also included companies in those industries that are similar to our company in size,
geographic location or complexity of operations. In assessing the reasonableness of pay as a managing partner of a
private equity firm, FW Cook and the compensation committee reviewed survey data regarding the compensation of private
equity professionals.

ELEMENTS OF 2023 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

For 2023, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

• in the case of Mr. Maffei, base salary and perquisites and other limited personal benefits;

• a performance-based bonus, payable in cash; and

• performance-based restricted stock units and a performance-based cash award granted under the 2019 incentive

plan.

BASE SALARY

Mr. Maffei’s base salary is governed by the terms of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. For 2023, Mr. Maffei’s base
salary was $3,000,000, as prescribed by the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei
Employment Agreement and the amended services agreement, Liberty Media pays Mr. Maffei’s base salary directly, and
we reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion. In 2023, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual base salary
allocated to our company was 5% or $150,000.

2023 PERFORMANCE-BASED BONUSES

Overview. For 2023, our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for each of
Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. The 2023 bonus program was comprised of two components: a
bonus amount payable based on each participant’s individual performance (the Individual Performance Bonus) and a
bonus amount payable based on the corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty
Broadband (the Corporate Performance Bonus).

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei was assigned a target bonus opportunity under the
performance-based bonus program equal to $17 million in the aggregate for Liberty Media, our company and each of
Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband. That bonus amount was split among, and payable directly by, Liberty Media, our
company, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband, with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance
metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee. In 2023, the portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate
target bonus amount allocated to our company was 5% or $850,000. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus
amount allocated to each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband pursuant to the amended services
agreements was 61% (or $10,370,000), 11% (or $1,870,000) and 23% (or $3,910,000), respectively.

Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm were assigned in March 2023 a maximum bonus opportunity
under the performance-based bonus program, which would be allocated to each of our company, Liberty Media, Qurate
Retail and Liberty Broadband in the same percentage as the allocation for Mr. Maffei’s target bonus opportunity (the
Maximum Performance Bonus). The portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to the Liberty TripAdvisor
program was $1,700,000, $65,093, $119,094 and $120,273 for Messrs. Maffei, Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm,
respectively (the LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus). The LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus amounts are up to 200%
of Mr. Maffei’s target annual bonus allocated to our company under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and our
company’s allocable portion of up to 200% of base pay for each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm. The
portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband was
$20,740,000, $3,740,000 and $7,820,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $794,133, $143,204 and $299,427, respectively, for
Mr. Wendling, $1,452,945, $262,007 and $547,832, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $1,467,327, $264,600 and
$553,254, respectively, for Ms. Wilm.

Following the split-off of Atlanta Braves Holdings from Liberty Media in July 2023, a portion of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate
target bonus amount and Messrs. Maffei’s, Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s Maximum Performance Bonus
previously allocated to Liberty Media was reallocated to Atlanta Braves Holdings. Following such reallocation, the portion of
Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount allocated to each of Liberty Media and Atlanta Braves Holdings was 54% (or
$9,180,000) and 7% (or $1,190,000), respectively, and the portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to each of
Liberty Media and Atlanta Braves Holdings was $18,360,000 and $2,380,000, respectively, for Mr. Maffei, $703,003 and
$91,130, respectively, for Mr. Wendling, $1,286,214 and $166,731, respectively, for Mr. Rosenthaler and $1,298,945 and
$168,382, respectively, for Ms. Wilm. The portions of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate target bonus amount and Messrs. Maffei’s,
Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s Maximum Performance Bonus allocated to each of our company, Qurate
Retail and Liberty Broadband remained the same.

Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus) equal to
60% of the LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus for that participant. The LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus was subject to

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 41

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

reduction based on a determination of the participant’s achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the
services to be performed by the participant on behalf of our company. Under the corollary program of Liberty Media and the
corollary programs of the other Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from each of Liberty Media
and the other Service Companies a maximum individual bonus equal to 60% of his or her Maximum Performance Bonus
allocable to Liberty Media and each other Service Company, subject to reduction based on a determination of the participant’s
achievement of qualitative criteria established with respect to the services to be performed by the participant on behalf of
Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. Our compensation committee believes this construct was appropriate in
light of the amended services agreement and the fact that each participant splits his or her professional time and duties.

Each participant was entitled to receive from our company an amount (the LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus) equal to 40%
of his or her LTAH Maximum Performance Bonus, subject to reduction based on a determination of the consolidated
corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. Under the corollary program of
Liberty Media and the corollary programs of the other Service Companies, each participant was entitled to receive from each
of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies a bonus that is 40% of each of Liberty Media’s and the other Service
Companies’ allocable portion of the Maximum Performance Bonus, which was subject to reduction based on a determination
of the consolidated corporate performance of our company, Liberty Media and the other Service Companies.

In December 2023, our compensation committee and the compensation committees of Liberty Media and each other
Service Company reviewed contemporaneously our respective named executive officers’ individual performance and
consolidated corporate performance under each company’s program. Notwithstanding this joint effort, our compensation
committee retained sole and exclusive discretion with respect to the approval of award terms and amounts payable under
our bonus program.

Individual Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee reviewed the individual performance of each participant
to determine the reductions that would apply to each participant’s LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus. Our compensation
committee took into account a variety of factors, without assigning a numerical weight to any single performance measure.
This determination was based on reports to our Board, the observations of committee members throughout the year,
executive self-evaluations and, with respect to the participants other than Mr. Maffei, the observations and input of Mr. Maffei.
In evaluating the performance of each of the participants for determining the reduction that would apply to each named
executive officer’s LTAH Maximum Individual Bonus, the following performance objectives related to our company which had

Corporate Performance Bonus. Our compensation committee then made a determination as to the portion, if any, that
would be payable to each participant for his or her LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus, a portion of which is attributable to
consolidated financial measures of the Operating Companies (as defined below) as a group and a portion of which is
attributable to corporate-level achievements. In making this determination, our compensation committee reviewed forecasts
of 2023 adjusted OIBDA (as defined below), revenue and free cash flow (financial measures) for QVC, HSN, Inc.,
Cornerstone Brands, Inc., Sirius XM, Braves Holdings, LLC, Formula 1, GCI Holdings, LLC and proportionate shares of
Live Nation, Charter and Tripadvisor (collectively, the Operating Companies), all of which forecasts were prepared in
December 2023 and are set forth in the table below. Also set forth in the table below are the corresponding actual financial
measures achieved for 2023, which deviated from our forecasts as indicated below. Although forecasted revenue, adjusted
OIBDA and free cash flow deviated from the actual result, none of the deviations would have materially affected the
amounts paid under the corporate performance bonus portion of the program.

For purposes of the bonus program, adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, transaction related costs (including
acquisition, restructuring, integration, and advisory fees), impairments and fire related costs. Sirius XM, Live Nation, Charter,
and Tripadvisor do not report adjusted OIBDA information. As a result, in order to determine their financial results, we
used the most similar non-GAAP measures reported by each of these companies. We used adjusted EBITDA as reported
by Sirius XM, Charter, and Tripadvisor and adjusted Operating Income, or AOI, as reported by Live Nation. For a definition
of adjusted EBITDA as defined by Sirius XM, see Sirius XM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023, filed on February 1, 2024. For a definition of adjusted EBITDA as defined by Charter, see Charter’s Annual Report

Based on a review of the above forecasts and consideration of Operating Company performance against plan for these
financial measures by the compensation committees of our company, Liberty Media, Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband,
the compensation committees determined that the financial measures relating to the Operating Companies were achieved
to the extent described below:

to 10% if forecasted financial measures were less than or greater than budgeted financial measures. Our compensation
committee then translated the achievement of these financial measures into a percentage payable (20% of a possible 30%,
or 67%) to each participant of his or her LTAH Maximum Corporate Bonus related to financial measures, as follows:

In December 2023, our compensation committee considered combined corporate-level achievements for our company,
Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies in determining that 9% of a possible 10% of a portion of the LTAH
Maximum Corporate Bonus would be payable to each participant. In making this determination, the compensation
committee considered merger and acquisition activity, investments, financings, sustainability initiatives, SEC/audit
compliance, litigation management and tax compliance. The achievements and percentage payable translated to the
following payment for each participant:

Our compensation committee then noted that, when combined with the total 2023 performance-based bonus amounts
paid by Liberty Media and the other Service Companies to the overlapping named executive officers, Messrs. Maffei,
Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm received $26,090,750, $1,012,195, $1,851,911 and $2,050,650, respectively. For
more information regarding these bonus awards, please see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below.

EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The 2019 incentive plan provides for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares,
RSUs, SARs, cash awards and performance awards. Subject to share availability considerations, our compensation
committee has a preference for grants of stock options and awards of restricted stock or RSUs (as compared with other
types of available awards under the 2019 incentive plan) based on the belief that they better promote retention of key
employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. It is the policy of our compensation committee
that stock options be awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, typically measured
by reference to the closing price on the grant date.

As discussed above, our executive officers perform management services for our company pursuant to the amended
services agreement. In consultation with the compensation committees of each of Liberty Media and the other Service
Companies (except for the compensation committee of Atlanta Braves Holdings because such decisions were made prior
to its split-off from Liberty Media), our compensation committee determined that each of our company, Liberty Media
and the other Service Companies (except for Atlanta Braves Holdings for the reason described above) would grant a
proportionate share of the aggregate equity grant value to each named executive officer each year for their service to our
company and each of Liberty Media and the other Service Companies. With respect to awards made to Messrs. Wendling
and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, the proportionate share for each company was determined based 50% on the relative
market capitalization and 50% on relative time spent by Liberty Media’s employees working for such issuer. With respect
to awards made to Mr. Maffei, the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity
award value will be granted across Liberty Media and the Service Companies by Liberty Media’s compensation
committee, our compensation committee and the compensation committees of each other Service Company based on
two factors, each weighted 50%: (i) the relative market capitalization of each series of stock of each company and (ii) the
average of (a) the percentage allocation of time for all Liberty Media employees across all companies and
(b) Mr. Maffei’s percentage allocation of time across all companies, unless a different allocation method is agreed.

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

Annual Equity Awards.

Maffei Annual Equity Awards. The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provides Mr. Maffei with the opportunity to earn
equity awards during the employment term. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Annual Awards” for additional information about the annual awards provided under the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement.

When structuring the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, to further align Mr. Maffei’s interests with those of the other
stockholders, the compensation committee structured his annual equity award grants as either option awards or performance-
based restricted stock units with meaningful payout metrics determined annually. This structure was designed to provide
for alignment of interests with our company’s stockholders and flexibility to the compensation committee to incent
achievement of strategic objectives that may change or evolve over the term of the agreement.

The 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement provided that Mr. Maffei was entitled to receive from our company, Liberty Media
and the other Service Companies in 2023 (except for Atlanta Braves Holdings, because such grant occurred prior to its split-
off from Liberty Media) a combined target equity award value of $17.5 million comprised of time-vested stock options,
performance-based restricted stock units or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election.

In 2023, our compensation committee granted performance-based RSUs and, due to share considerations under the
2019 incentive plan, a cash award, to Mr. Maffei in satisfaction of our obligations under the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement for 5% of Mr. Maffei’s aggregate annual equity award for 2023, or $875,000. Our compensation committee
believed that Mr. Maffei’s RSU grant and cash award should be subject to performance metrics that incentivize and reward
Mr. Maffei for successful completion of our company’s strategic initiatives. As a result, our compensation committee
granted to Mr. Maffei 175,000 performance-based RSUs with respect to LTRPB shares (the 2023 Maffei RSUs) and a
$656,250 performance-based cash award (the 2023 Maffei Cash Award), in each case under the 2019 incentive plan, on
March 9, 2023, which would vest only upon attainment of the performance objectives described below.

Our compensation committee reviewed the financial performance of our company along with the personal performance of
Mr. Maffei. Based on the compensation committee’s assessment of his individual performance against the goals
established in connection with the performance cash bonus program and general observation of his leadership and
executive performance, our compensation committee approved vesting of all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs and the full vesting
of the 2023 Maffei Cash Award, in each case, previously granted to Mr. Maffei.

For more information regarding Mr. Maffei’s equity awards as provided in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, see
the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below and “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—
Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual
Equity Awards” in Liberty Media’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of
stockholders; “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive
Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Qurate Retail’s

Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards” in Liberty Broadband’s Definitive Proxy Statement
on Schedule 14A with respect to its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Chief Performance-based RSU and Cash Awards. Our compensation committee granted 5,699, 10,294 and 10,294
LTRPA annual performance-based RSUs to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively, on March 9,
2023 (the 2023 Chief RSUs). Additionally on March 9, 2023, due to share considerations under the 2019 incentive plan, our
compensation committee also granted a $20,344, $36,750 and $36,750 performance-based cash award to Messrs.
Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm, respectively (the 2023 Chief Cash Awards). The 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023
Chief Cash Awards were granted under the 2019 incentive plan and would vest subject to the satisfaction of performance
objectives described below.

Our compensation committee adopted an annual, performance-based program for payment of the 2023 Chief RSUs and
2023 Chief Cash Awards and reviewed each named executive officer’s performance against that performance program to
determine which portion of the award would be paid. Our compensation committee reviewed the 2023 personal
performance of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and considered the recommendations from Mr. Maffei.
Mr. Maffei recommended that our committee vest 100% of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 100% of the 2023 Chief Cash Awards
based on his assessment of their individual performance against the goals established in connection with the performance
cash bonus program and his general observation of their leadership and executive performance. Accordingly, our

4 6 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

compensation committee approved vesting in full of the 2023 Chief RSUs and vesting in full of the 2023 Chief Cash
Awards previously granted to Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm.

Multiyear Equity Awards.

Our compensation committee makes larger stock option grants (equaling approximately three to four years’ value of the
named executive officer’s annual grants) that vest between two and four years after grant, rather than making annual grants
over the same period. These multiyear grants provide for back-end weighted vesting and generally expire seven years
after grant to encourage executives to remain with our company over the long-term and to better align their interests with
those of the stockholders. Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm each received a multiyear stock option award
in December 2020, which equaled the value of, for Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler, the annual grants that were
expected to be granted to each for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and for Ms. Wilm, a top
up in value over grants already made for the same period to reflect the increased responsibilities associated with her new
role beginning in 2021 of Chief Administrative Officer. One-half of each named executive officer’s options vested on
each of December 7, 2022 and December 7, 2023. See the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal-Year End” table below
for more information about the 2020 NEO Multiyear Options.

Due to share availability considerations, our company did not make subsequent multiyear stock option grants in 2023.

PERQUISITES AND OTHER PERSONAL BENEFITS

The perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executives (that are not otherwise available to all of our
salaried employees) consist of:

• limited personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft (pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between

our company and Liberty Media); and

• occasional, personal use of Liberty Media’s apartment in New York City (pursuant to a sharing arrangement

between our company and Liberty Media), which is primarily used for business purposes, and occasional, personal
use of a company car and driver.

Taxable income may be incurred by our executives in connection with their receipt of perquisites and personal benefits.
We have not provided gross-up payments to our executives in connection with any such taxable income incurred during the
past three years.

Aircraft Usage. On occasion, and with the appropriate approvals, executives may have family members and other guests
accompany them on Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft when traveling on business.

Pursuant to a February 5, 2013 letter agreement between Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei is entitled to 120 hours
per year of personal flight time through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment with Liberty Media,
subject to any continued right to use the corporate aircraft as described below or pursuant to the terms of his employment
arrangement in effect at the time of the termination or (ii) the cessation of ownership or lease of corporate aircraft.
During 2023, pursuant to November 11, 2015 and December 13, 2019 letter agreements between Liberty Media and
Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was entitled to 50 additional hours per year of personal flight time if he reimbursed Liberty Media for
such usage through the first to occur of (i) the termination of his employment with Liberty Media or (ii) the cessation of
ownership or lease of corporate aircraft. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is terminated due to disability, for good reason or without
cause, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to continued use of the corporate aircraft for 12 months after termination of his
employment. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL)
rates, for all personal use of the corporate aircraft under the February 5, 2013 letter agreement. Mr. Maffei incurs taxable
income at the SIFL rates minus amounts paid under time sharing agreements with Liberty Media for travel. Flights where
there are no passengers on company-owned aircraft are not charged against the 120 hours of personal flight time per
year allotted to Mr. Maffei if the flight department determines that the use of a NetJets, Inc. supplied aircraft for a proposed
personal flight would be disadvantageous to our company due to (i) use of budgeted hours under the then current Liberty
Media fractional ownership contract with NetJets, Inc. or (ii) higher flight cost as compared to the cost of using company-
owned aircraft.

For disclosure purposes, Liberty Media determines the aggregate incremental cost to Liberty Media of the executives’
personal flights by using a method that takes into account all operating costs related to such flights, including:

• landing and parking expenses;

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 47

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

• crew travel expenses;

• supplies and catering;

• aircraft fuel and oil expenses per hour of flight;

• aircraft maintenance and upkeep;

• any customs, foreign permit and similar fees; and

• passenger ground transportation.

Because Liberty Media’s aircraft is used primarily for business travel, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not
change based on usage, such as salaries of pilots and crew, and purchase or lease costs of aircraft.

Pursuant to the amended services agreement, we pay Liberty Media for any costs, calculated in accordance with Part 91
of the Federal Aviation Regulations, associated with Mr. Maffei using Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft for our company’s
business matters along with the approved personal use of Liberty Media’s corporate aircraft that are allocable to our
company under the amended services agreement. Pursuant to aircraft time sharing agreements between Liberty Media
and Mr. Maffei, Mr. Maffei was responsible for reimbursing Liberty Media for costs associated with his 50 additional hours
per year of personal flight time and such costs include the expenses listed above, insurance obtained for the specific flight
and an additional charge equal to 100% of the aircraft fuel and oil expenses for the specific flight.

For purposes of determining an executive’s taxable income, personal use of Liberty Media’s aircraft is valued using a
method based on SIFL rates, as published by the Treasury Department. The amount determined using the SIFL rates is
typically lower than the amount determined using the incremental cost method. Under the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004, the amount that may be deducted for U.S. federal income tax purposes for a purely personal flight is limited to the
amount included in the taxable income of the executives who took the flight. Also, the deductibility of any non-business
use will be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent that the named executive officer’s compensation that is
subject to that limitation exceeds $1 million. See “—Deductibility of Executive Compensation” below.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In developing the 2023 compensation packages for the named executive officers, the deductibility of executive
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code is considered. That provision prohibits the deduction of compensation of
more than $1 million paid to certain executives, subject to certain exceptions. Following the enactment of the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act of 2017, beginning with the 2018 calendar year, the executives potentially affected by the limitations of
Section 162(m) of the Code have been expanded and there is no longer any exception for qualified performance-based
compensation. Therefore, portions of the compensation we pay to the named executive officers may not be deductible due
to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation committee believes that the lost deduction on
compensation payable in excess of the $1 million limitation for the named executive officers is not material relative to the
benefit of being able to attract and retain talented management.

RECOUPMENT PROVISIONS

In August 2023, the Board of Directors approved a policy for the recovery of erroneously awarded compensation, or
“clawback” policy, applicable to executive officers. The policy implements the incentive-based compensation recovery
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 as required under the Nasdaq listing
standards (although the Company began quotation on The OTC Markets in October 2023), and requires recovery of
incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers during the three fiscal years preceding the
date it is determined that our company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, including to correct an error that
would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current
period. The amount required to be recovered is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received over
the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial measure. In
addition, our company has maintained its recoupment provisions whereby our company may require an executive to
repay or return to our company any cash, stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition
of shares received upon exercise of options or SARs). That right will arise if (1) a material restatement of any of our financial
statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of our compensation committee, (A) such restatement is due
to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such

4 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In determining the amount of such repayment or
return, our compensation committee may take into account, among other factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the
market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected by the errors giving rise to the restatement.
Under these recoupment provisions, the cash, stock or other compensation that we may require the executive to repay or
return must have been received by the executive during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance
or the filing with the SEC, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement, and the compensation
required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or company stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise
during that 12-month period of any stock appreciation right held by the executive or (B) upon the payment during that
12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is determined by reference to the value of company
stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the disposition during that 12-month period of company
stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment during that 12-month period of any award of equity-
based incentive compensation. Additionally, beginning in December 2020, we began including in new forms of equity-
based award agreements a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to our company, upon
a reasonable determination by our compensation committee that the executive breached the confidentiality obligations
included in the agreement, all or any portion of the outstanding award, any shares received under awards during the
12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach and any proceeds from the disposition of shares
received under awards during the 12-month period prior to any such breach or any time after such breach.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES AND HEDGING POLICIES

Our Board of Directors previously had adopted stock ownership guidelines that generally required our executive officers
to own shares of our company’s stock equal to at least three times the value of the annual performance RSUs granted by
our company to such executive officer, with the required ownership level automatically adjusted following these annual
grants. Our executive officers generally had five years from the date of their appointment to an executive officer role to
comply with these guidelines. In December 2023, our Board of Directors eliminated these stock holding guidelines. For
information regarding our policies with respect to the ability of our officers and directors to hedge or offset any decrease
in the market value of our equity securities, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management—
Hedging Disclosure.”

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

GREGORY B. MAFFEI

2019 Maffei Employment Agreement

Liberty Media entered into the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement with Mr. Maffei, effective December 13, 2019. The
arrangement provides for a five year employment term beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2024, with
an annual base salary of $3 million (with no contracted increase) and a one-time cash commitment bonus of $5 million, an
annual target cash performance bonus equal to $17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one or more
performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s compensation committee with respect to its allocable
portion), upfront awards (with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million to be granted in two equal tranches) and
annual equity awards with an aggregate target grant date fair value of $17.5 million.

Maffei Term Equity Awards

Also, on December 13, 2019, in connection with the execution of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, Mr. Maffei
became entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $90 million (the Upfront Awards)
to be granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2019 and consisted
of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-
vested restricted stock units from our company that vested, in the case of the stock options, on December 31, 2023 and,
in the case of the restricted stock units on December 15, 2023. Our portion of the Upfront Awards granted in December 2019
had an aggregate grant date fair value of $2,250,000 and consisted of 320,057 LTRPB RSUs.

The second tranche of the Upfront Awards was granted in December 2020 and consisted of time-vested stock options
from each of Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from
our company. The stock options will vest on December 31, 2024 and the restricted stock units will vest on December 7,
2024, in each case, subject to Mr. Maffei’s continued employment, except as described below. Our portion of the Upfront
Awards granted in December 2020 had an aggregate grant date fair value of $2,700,000 and consisted of 1,000,000 LTRPB
RSUs (the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs).

Annual Awards

Pursuant to the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement, the aggregate grant date fair value of Mr. Maffei’s annual equity
awards is $17.5 million for each year during the term of the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement and is comprised of awards
of time-vested stock options (the Annual Options), performance-based restricted stock units (Annual Performance
RSUs) or a combination of award types, at Mr. Maffei’s election, allocable across Liberty Media and each of the Service
Companies (collectively, the Annual Awards). Vesting of any Annual Performance RSUs will be subject to the achievement
of one or more performance metrics to be approved by our compensation committee and the compensation committee of
Liberty Media or the applicable other Service Company with respect to its allocable portion of the Annual Performance
RSUs. For a description of Mr. Maffei’s Annual Awards, see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of
2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards.”

Termination Payments and Benefits

Mr. Maffei will be entitled to the following payments and benefits from Liberty Media (with Liberty Media being reimbursed
by our company for its allocated portion of the severance benefits pursuant to the amended services agreement) if his
employment is terminated at Liberty Media under the circumstances described below, subject to the execution of releases
by Liberty Media and Mr. Maffei in a form to be mutually agreed. The following discussion also summarizes the termination
payments and benefits that Mr. Maffei would be entitled to if his services are terminated at our company under the
scenarios described below.

Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei’s employment is
terminated by Liberty Media without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or if Mr. Maffei terminates
his employment for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), he is entitled to the following:
(i) his accrued base salary, any accrued but unpaid bonus for the prior completed year, any unpaid expense reimbursements
and any amounts due under applicable law; (ii) subject to the execution of a mutual release, (A) a severance payment of

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 51

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

two times his base salary during the year of his termination to be paid in equal installments over 24 months; (B) fully
vested shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million consisting of shares of the applicable series of common
stock from Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband, Atlanta Braves Holdings and us; (C) full vesting of his
unvested Upfront Awards and full vesting of the Annual Awards for the year in which the termination occurs (including the
grant and full vesting of such Annual if the termination occurs before they have been granted); (D) lump sum cash payment
of two times the average annual cash performance bonus paid for the two calendar years ending prior to the termination,
but in no event less than two times his target annual cash performance bonus of $17 million, with (subject to certain
exceptions) up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of the applicable series of common stock from Liberty Media,
Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband, Atlanta Braves Holdings and us; (E) a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of
(x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus otherwise payable for the year of termination, in each case,
prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination (including the date of termination),
with (subject to certain exceptions) up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of the applicable series of common stock
from Liberty Media, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband, Atlanta Braves Holdings and us; and (F) continued use for 12 months
after such termination of certain services and perquisites provided by Liberty Media, including continued use of Liberty
Media’s aircraft (collectively, the severance benefits).

Termination at our Company by our Company without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei’s
services at our company are terminated by us without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by
Mr. Maffei for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to full vesting of
the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs and the Annual Awards granted by us for the year of his termination, and if Mr. Maffei remains
employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to our company, he will also be entitled
to payment of our allocated portion of the annual cash performance bonus for the year, prorated for the portion of the
calendar year in which Mr. Maffei served as an officer of our company. Other than as described above, no severance benefits
will be due to Mr. Maffei if he remains employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of his services to
our company.

Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. In the event of Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he will be entitled to the
same payments and benefits as if his services had been terminated without cause or for good reason as described above
in “—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason.”

For Cause Termination at our Company. In the event Mr. Maffei’s services to our company are terminated by us for
cause, he will forfeit the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs, and if the termination for cause occurs before the close of business on
December 31 of the relevant grant year, Mr. Maffei will forfeit our allocated portion of the annual cash performance bonus
and the portion of his Annual Awards granted by our company for that grant year. If Mr. Maffei’s services are terminated
by our company for cause after the close of business on December 31 of the relevant grant year, but prior to the date on
which our compensation committee certifies achievement of the performance metric for any outstanding Annual Performance
RSUs granted by our company for the grant year, the award will remain outstanding until such date and will vest to the
extent determined by our compensation committee.

Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason. If Mr. Maffei voluntarily terminates the services he
provides to us without good reason, he will be entitled to pro rata vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs (based on the
number of days that have elapsed over the four-year vesting period). He will also be entitled to pro rata vesting of his Annual
Awards for the year of termination granted by us (based on the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination)
and a pro rata payment of our allocated portion of his annual cash performance bonus of $17 million (based upon the
elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination). Any Annual Performance RSUs granted by our company for
the year of termination that are unvested on the date of termination will remain outstanding until the performance criteria
is determined and will vest pro rata (based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar year of termination) to the
extent determined by our compensation committee (at a level not less than 100% of the target award). Other than as
described above, no severance benefits will be due to Mr. Maffei if he remains employed by Liberty Media at or following
the date of termination of his services to us. If Mr. Maffei also voluntarily terminates his employment with Liberty Media,
rather than being entitled to payment of our allocated portion of his annual cash bonus, Mr. Maffei would be entitled to
receive a payment from Liberty Media equal to $17 million, prorated based upon the elapsed number of days in the calendar
year of termination. Our company would reimburse Liberty Media for our allocable portion of this payment.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The 2019 incentive plan is designed, and prior to its expiration, the Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (amended and restated March 11, 2015), as amended (the 2014 incentive plan), was designed, to provide

5 2 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

additional remuneration to eligible officers and employees of our company, our nonemployee directors and independent
contractors and employees of Liberty Media or Qurate Retail providing services to us and to encourage their investment in
our capital stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in our business. Non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted
shares, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted under the 2019
incentive plan (collectively, as used in this description of the 2019 incentive plan, awards). The maximum number of
shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 5,000,000 shares, subject to anti-dilution
and other adjustment provisions of the 2019 incentive plan. No nonemployee director may be granted during any calendar
year awards having a value (as determined on the grant date of such award) in excess of $3 million. Shares of our
common stock issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares
that have been issued but reacquired by our company, including shares purchased on the open market. The 2019 incentive
plan is administered by the compensation committee with regard to all awards granted under the 2019 incentive plan
(other than awards granted to the nonemployee directors which may be administered by our full Board of Directors or the
compensation committee), and the compensation committee has full power and authority to determine the terms and
conditions of such awards. The 2019 incentive plan has a five-year term and is the only incentive plan under which
awards will be made.

PAY RATIO INFORMATION

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees
and the total compensation of Mr. Maffei, our chief executive officer on December 31, 2023, pursuant to the SEC’s pay
ratio disclosure rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We believe our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated
in a manner consistent with the SEC’s pay ratio disclosure rules. However, because these rules provide flexibility in
determining the methodology, assumptions and estimates used to determine pay ratios and the fact that workforce
composition issues differ significantly between companies, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported
by other companies.

To identify our median employee, we first determined our employee population as of December 31, 2023, which consisted
of employees located in the U.S., Europe and throughout the rest of the world, representing all full-time, part-time and
temporary employees, including hourly employees, employed by our company and our consolidated subsidiary, Tripadvisor,
on that date. Using information from our payroll records, we then measured each employee’s annual total compensation
for calendar year 2023, consisting of annualized base salary, short-term bonus at target and annual long-term equity
incentive award at target. Tripadvisor annualized the compensation of approximately 498 full-time and part-time employees
who were hired in 2023 but who did not work for the entire fiscal year. The earnings of Tripadvisor’s employees outside
the U.S. were converted to U.S. dollars using the currency exchange rates used for Tripadvisor’s organizational planning
purposes, which consider historic and forecasted rates as well as other factors. We did not make any cost-of-living
adjustments.

Once we identified our median employee, we then determined that employee’s total compensation, including any perquisites
and other benefits, in the same manner that we determined the total compensation of our named executive officers for
purposes of the Summary Compensation Table above. The ratio of our chief executive officer’s total annual compensation
to that of the median employee was as follows:

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN
CONTROL

The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment had terminated
or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2023, which was the last day of our last completed
fiscal year. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei’s employment had terminated at each of
Liberty Media, Liberty TripAdvisor and the other Service Companies. In the event of such a termination or change in control,
the actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify
these arrangements from time to time.

The amounts provided in the table are based on the closing market prices on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day in
2023) for our Series A common stock and Series B common stock, which were $0.85 and $9.30, respectively. For any option
awards held by the named executive officers that had an exercise price that was more than the closing market price of
our Series A common stock or Series B common stock, as applicable, on December 29, 2023, the value of such option
awards has been excluded from the table below. For all other option awards, the value of the options shown in the table is
based on the spread between the exercise price of the award and the applicable closing market price. The value of the
RSUs shown in the table is based on the applicable closing market price and the number of unvested RSUs that would have
vested in the applicable termination scenario according to the terms of the applicable award.

Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under our incentive plans. Additionally, Mr. Maffei
is entitled to certain payments and acceleration rights upon termination under his employment agreement.

The circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout
are described below and in the footnotes to the table (other than those described under “—Executive Compensation
Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits,” which are incorporated by reference herein):

VOLUNTARY TERMINATION

Each of the named executive officers holds awards that were issued under our existing incentive plans. Under these plans
and the related award agreements, in the event of a voluntary termination of his or her employment with our company
for any reason, each named executive officer would typically only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his
or her termination date. However, if Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason, (i) his 2020
Maffei Term RSUs would have been subject to pro rata vesting (based on the number of days elapsed during the four-year
vesting period) and, (ii) assuming such termination occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023
Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had
been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee.
Mr. Maffei would have been entitled to certain other benefits upon a voluntary termination of his employment without
good reason with our company as of December 31, 2023. The type and amount of severance pay and benefits Mr. Maffei
would receive would depend on whether he remained employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of termination of
his services to our company or whether his employment with Liberty Media was also voluntarily terminated. These
additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—
Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason”
above. Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm are not entitled to any severance payments or other benefits upon
a voluntary termination of his or her employment.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

All outstanding equity grants constituting options, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised, all equity grants
constituting unvested RSUs and all cash awards under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named
executive officer who is terminated for “cause” (other than Mr. Maffei in the case of equity grants constituting vested options
or similar rights). However, if Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated for cause after the close of business on
December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any
performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by
the compensation committee. Unless there is a different definition in the applicable award agreement, each of the 2014
incentive plan and the 2019 incentive plan defines “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude,
other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or

5 8 / 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

EX ECUTIV E COM P ENS AT IO N

incapacity; provided that, if such termination is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), “cause”
means a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement. With respect to Mr. Maffei’s equity grants and the
2023 Maffei Cash Award, including the stock options granted to him in 2014, “cause,” as defined in the applicable award
agreement, means (i) Mr. Maffei’s willful failure to follow the lawful instructions of the Board of Directors of our company;
(ii) the commission by Mr. Maffei of any fraud, misappropriation or misconduct that causes demonstrable material injury to
our company or its subsidiaries; (iii) Mr. Maffei’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; or
(iv) Mr. Maffei’s failure to comply in any material respect with any written agreement between him and our company or any
of our subsidiaries if such failure causes demonstrable material injury to our company or any of our subsidiaries, except
that Mr. Maffei is entitled to certain procedural and cure rights relating to a termination for cause, except in the case of a
termination for cause based on a felony conviction. Mr. Maffei has certain continuing rights to exercise vested options or
similar rights following a termination for cause under his equity award agreements. See “—Executive Compensation
Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—For Cause Termination at our Company” above.

TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR GOOD REASON

As of December 31, 2023, Mr. Maffei’s unvested equity awards consisted of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs, the 2023 Maffei
RSUs and the 2023 Maffei Cash Award. Upon a termination of his employment by our company without cause (as
defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) or by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment
Agreement), the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs would have vested and, assuming such termination occurred after the close of
business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding
until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent
determined by the compensation committee. Mr. Maffei would also be entitled to severance pay and benefits from our
company upon a termination without cause or by him for good reason. The type and amount of severance pay and benefits
Mr. Maffei would receive would depend on whether he remained employed by Liberty Media at or following the date of
termination of his services to our company or whether his employment with Liberty Media was also terminated without cause
or for good reason. These additional severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation
Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Liberty Media without Cause
or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason” and “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination
Payments and Benefits—Termination at our Company by our Company without Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason.”

As of December 31, 2023, Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s unvested awards were their 2023
Chief RSUs and their 2023 Chief Cash Awards. Upon a termination without cause as of December 31, 2023, the 2023
Chief RSUs and 2023 Cash Awards held by these officers would have remained outstanding until any performance criteria
had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation
committee. None of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm is entitled to any severance pay or other benefits upon
a termination without cause.

DEATH

In the event of death of any of the named executive officers, the incentive plans and applicable award agreements would
have provided for vesting of any outstanding options and cash awards and the lapse of restrictions on any RSU awards
(except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s death occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei
RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been
determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee).
Mr. Maffei is also entitled to certain payments and other benefits if he dies while employed by our company. These additional
severance payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Reason of Death or Disability.” None of the other named executive
officers would have been entitled to any severance pay or other benefits from our company if he or she had died while
employed by our company, assuming a termination date as of December 31, 2023.

DISABILITY

If the employment of any of the named executive officers had been terminated due to disability, which is defined in the
incentive plans or applicable award agreements, such plans or agreements provide for vesting of any outstanding options
and cash awards and the lapse of restrictions on any unvested RSU awards (except that, assuming Mr. Maffei’s

LIBE RTY TRI PADVISO R HO LD IN G S , IN C.

/ 59

EXECU TIVE COMP ENSAT IO N

termination due to disability occurred after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023
Maffei Cash Award would have each remained outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have
been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the compensation committee). Mr. Maffei is also entitled
to certain payments and other benefits upon a termination of his employment due to disability. These additional severance
payments and benefits are described above in “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Reason of Death or Disability.” None of the other named executive
officers would have been entitled to any severance pay or other benefits from our company upon a termination due to
disability, assuming a termination date as of December 31, 2023.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

In case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting of any outstanding options and cash awards and the
lapse of restrictions on any RSU (other than, in the case of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs) held by the named executive
officers. A change in control is generally defined as:

• The acquisition by a non-exempt person (as defined in the incentive plans) of beneficial ownership of at least 20%

of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of our company ordinarily having the right to vote in the
election of directors, other than pursuant to a transaction approved by our Board of Directors.

• The individuals constituting our Board of Directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a

majority of the Board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the Board to approve new members by approval of
at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.

• Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were common stockholders of

our company immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the
successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily
having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of the assets of our company or the
dissolution of our company.

In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, our compensation committee may determine not to
accelerate the existing equity awards of the named executive officers if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing
awards. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that our named executive officers’ existing
unvested equity awards (other than the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs) would vest in the case of a change in control described
in the last bullet. A change in control (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) of our company would provide
Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason, which
would result in vesting of his 2020 Maffei Term RSUs. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that
Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for good reason in connection with a change in control
of our company.

If Mr. Maffei had voluntarily terminated his employment without good reason at Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Media and each of the
other Service Companies (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) as of December 31, 2023, subject to execution of
a mutual release, he would have been entitled to receive in a lump sum $17 million, prorated based on the number of days that
have elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more
detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—
Termination Payments and Benefits—Voluntary Termination at our Company without Good Reason” above. The amount in the
table includes our allocable portion of this payment (5%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media.

If Mr. Maffei’s employment at Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies had been terminated as
of December 31, 2023 by Liberty TripAdvisor, Liberty Media and each of the other Service Companies without cause (as defined
in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), by him for good reason (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether
before or within a specific period following a change in control), in each case, subject to execution of a mutual release, or due to
Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, he would have been entitled to receive (i) a payment of two times his 2023 base salary payable in
24 equal monthly installments, (ii) fully vested shares of common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $35 million, (iii) a
lump sum payment of an amount equal to two times his average annual bonus paid for the two calendar years prior to separation,
but in no event an amount that is less than two times his aggregate target bonus of $17 million and (iv) a lump sum cash payment
equal to the greater of (x) $17 million or (y) the annual cash performance bonus otherwise payable for the year of termination, in
each case, prorated based on the number of days that have elapsed within the year of termination, with up to 25% of such amount
payable in shares of common stock as set forth in more detail in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement. See “—Executive
Compensation Arrangements—Gregory B. Maffei—Termination Payments and Benefits—Termination by Liberty Media without
Cause or by Mr. Maffei for Good Reason” above. The amount in the table includes our allocable portion of this payment (5%) for
which we would reimburse Liberty Media. The amount in the table does not include the lump sum cash payment described in
(iv) because Mr. Maffei had already been paid his 2023 cash bonus prior to December 31, 2023.

(3) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 for which the exercise price thereof is less
than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year) and (ii) the number of
unvested RSUs and the unvested cash award that would vest pursuant to the following: If Mr. Maffei voluntarily terminated his
employment without good reason as of December 31, 2023, he would have been entitled to pro rata vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term
RSUs (based on the number of days that had elapsed over the four-year vesting period) and, assuming such termination occurred
after the close of business on December 31, 2023, the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have remained
outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent
determined by the compensation committee. Because the exercise price of the vested stock options granted to Mr. Maffei in 2019
is more than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been

included for these awards in the table. As described above in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023
Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our
compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award, which is reflected in the table above.

(4) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 for which the exercise price thereof is less
than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year) and (ii) the number of
unvested RSUs and the unvested cash award that would vest pursuant to the following: If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been
terminated for cause, he would have forfeited his 2020 Maffei Term RSUs. Assuming such termination occurred after the close of
business on December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have remained outstanding until any
performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the
compensation committee. Because the exercise price of the vested stock options granted to Mr. Maffei in 2019 is more than the
closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been included for these
awards in the table. As described above in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—
Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our compensation committee vested all
of the 2023 Maffei RSUs and the 2023 Maffei Cash Award, which is reflected in the table above.

(5) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 for which the exercise price thereof is less
than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year) and (ii) the number of
unvested RSUs and the unvested cash award that would vest pursuant to the following: If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been
terminated as of December 31, 2023 without cause (as defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement), for good reason (as
defined in the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) (whether before or within a specific period following a change in control) or due
to Mr. Maffei’s death or disability, his 2020 Maffei Term RSUs would have vested in full and, assuming such termination occurred
after the close of business on December 31, 2023, his 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award would have remained
outstanding until any performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent
determined by the compensation committee. Because the exercise price of the vested stock options granted to Mr. Maffei in 2019
is more than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been
included for these awards in the table. As described above in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023
Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,” our
compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award, which is reflected in the table above.

(6) Based on the number of vested options held by Mr. Maffei at December 31, 2023 for which the exercise price thereof is less than

the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), the number of 2020 Maffei Term
RSUs, 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award. As described above, our compensation committee vested Mr. Maffei at
100% of 2023 Maffei RSUs and 2023 Maffei Cash Award, which is reflected in the table above. A change in control (as defined in
the 2019 Maffei Employment Agreement) of our company would provide Mr. Maffei with a short time period during which to exercise
his rights to terminate his employment for good reason, which would result in vesting of the 2020 Maffei Term RSUs. For purposes
of the tabular presentation above, we have assumed that Mr. Maffei does not exercise his right to terminate his employment for
good reason in connection with a change in control of our company. Because the exercise price of the vested stock options granted
to Mr. Maffei in 2019 is more than the closing market price of LTRPB shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the
year), no value has been included for these awards in the table.

(7)

If Mr. Maffei’s employment had been terminated at our company’s election for any reason (other than cause) or by Mr. Maffei for
good reason (as defined in his employment agreement) or by reason of disability, as of December 31, 2023, he would have been
entitled to receive (i) personal use of the corporate aircraft for 120 hours per year, (ii) information technology support from our
Company, as reasonably requested by Mr. Maffei, and (iii) continuation of such other perquisites as Mr. Maffei was entitled to
receive prior to such termination, in each case, over a 12-month period. The maximum potential cost of using the corporate aircraft
for 120 hours based on an hourly average of the incremental cost of use of the corporate aircraft is $922,496. The amount in the
table includes our allocable portion of this payment (5%) for which we would reimburse Liberty Media.

(8) Each of Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm would have forfeited all of his or her 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief
Cash Awards if his or her employment had been terminated by him or her or by our company for cause as of December 31, 2023.
Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options would remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance
with their terms in the event each of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm terminated his or her employment as of
December 31, 2023, however, because the exercise prices of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options
are more than the closing market price of LTRPA shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has
been included for these awards in the table. If each of Messrs. Wendling or Rosenthaler or Ms. Wilm was terminated by our company
for “cause” as of December 31, 2023, all of his or her outstanding option grants would have been forfeited.

(9) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and (ii) the number of

unvested RSUs and unvested cash awards held by the named executive officer as of December 31, 2023 that would have vested
pursuant to the following: If Messrs. Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated without cause as
of December 31, 2023, their 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash awards would have remained outstanding until any
performance criteria had been determined to have been met or not and would have vested to the extent determined by the
compensation committee. As described above in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of 2023 Executive

Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Chief Performance-based RSU Awards,” our
compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards, which is reflected in the table above.
Because the exercise prices of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options are more than the closing
market price of LTRPA shares on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been included for these awards
in the table.

(10) Based on (i) the number of vested options held by Messrs. Wendling and Rosenthaler and Ms. Wilm and (ii) the number of

unvested RSUs and unvested cash awards held by the named executive officer as of December 31, 2023 that would vest pursuant
to the following: If Messrs. Wendling’s or Rosenthaler’s or Ms. Wilm’s employment had been terminated due to death or disability
as of December 31, 2023, all of the 2023 Chief RSUs and 2023 Chief Cash Awards would have vested. Because the exercise prices
of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s vested options are more than the closing market price of LTRPA shares
on December 29, 2023 (the last trading day of the year), no value has been included for these awards in the table.

(11) Upon a change of control, we have assumed for purposes of the tabular presentation above that all of the 2023 Chief RSUs and

2023 Chief Cash Awards would have vested. The table includes the value of Messrs. Wendling’s and Rosenthaler’s and Ms. Wilm’s
vested options, however, because the exercise prices of the vested options are more than the closing market price of LTRPA
shares on December 29, 2023, no value has been included for these awards in the table.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

This section provides information about the relationship between compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive
Officer and other named executive officers and certain financial performance measures of our Company. For purposes of
this section, the amount of compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer and other named executive officers
is determined using the valuation methods prescribed by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Although the rules
describe such amount as compensation actually paid, these amounts are not reflective of the taxable compensation actually
paid to our named executive officers in a covered year. As described in more detail below, to determine the amount of

(a) Reflects, for Mr. Maffei, the applicable amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table and for the non-PEO NEOs,
the average of the applicable amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table in each of the fiscal years indicated.

(b) The adjustments made to the fair value of equity awards in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K do not include

adjustments for dividends paid or the fair value of equity awards received in lieu of cash compensation foregone at a named
executive officer’s election where such amounts are reported in the Salary, Bonus or All Other Compensation columns of the
Summary Compensation Table in accordance with SEC guidance. Amounts with respect to our performance-based awards
have been revised from those provided in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with respect to our 2023 annual
meeting of stockholders in accordance with SEC guidance released in September 2023 to reflect that vesting occurred as of the
last day of the performance year (which is the last day the NEOs were required to provide services to receive the awards)
instead of the date our compensation committee certified the level at which the performance goals were achieved.

(c) Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the fair value and, with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the fair values, as

of the end of the covered fiscal year of awards granted in, and remaining outstanding and unvested (in whole or in part) as of
the end of, the covered fiscal year.

(d) Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the change in fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the
change in fair values, from the end of the prior fiscal year to the end of the covered fiscal year of awards granted in prior
fiscal years that remained outstanding and unvested (in whole or in part) as of the end of the covered fiscal year.

(e) Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the fair values, as
of the day awards became vested in the covered fiscal year, when such awards were also granted in the covered fiscal year.

(f) Reflects, with respect to Mr. Maffei, the change in fair value, and with respect to the non-PEO NEOs, the average of the

change in fair values, from the end of the prior fiscal year to the day awards became vested in the covered fiscal year, when
such awards were granted in a prior fiscal year.

(4) For each covered fiscal year, represents the cumulative total stockholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment in each of our

Series A and Series B common stock (Nasdaq or OTC Markets, as applicable: LTRPA and LTRPB) from December 31, 2019 through
December 31 of each covered fiscal year.

(5) For each covered fiscal year, represents the cumulative total stockholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment in the S&P 500
Hotels, Restaurants, and Leisure Index from December 31, 2019 through December 31 of each covered fiscal year. The S&P 500
Hotels, Restaurants, and Leisure Index was selected as the peer group for purposes of this disclosure because it contains peer
companies to Tripadvisor, which is one of our operating companies, the financial performance of which factors into compensation
paid to Mr. Maffei and the non-PEO NEOs.

impairment charges. For purposes of this disclosure, adjusted OIBDA includes our attributable interests in our equity investments.

(1) Upon adoption of the 2019 incentive plan, the Board of Directors ceased making any further grants under the 2014 incentive plan.
The amounts reported for the 2014 incentive plan reflect the number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding
options and the weighted average exercise price thereof.

(2) The 2019 incentive plan permits grants of, or with respect to, shares of any series of our common stock. The amounts reported for
the 2019 incentive plan reflect 870,651 shares of LTRPA and 572,665 shares of LTRPB to be issued upon exercise of outstanding
options and 35,509 shares of LTPRA and 1,175,000 shares of LTRPB to be issued upon the settlement of restricted stock units. For
restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting requirements, such amounts vested at 100 percent of target
performance and therefore are reflected as such in the above table. As described in “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—
Elements of 2023 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation—Annual Equity Awards—Maffei Annual Equity Awards,”
our compensation committee vested all of the 2023 Maffei RSUs, but had 150 percent of the 2023 Maffei RSUs vested, 262,500
shares of LTRPB would have been issuable upon the settlement of restricted stock units. The weighted average exercise prices do
not take into account restricted stock units, which by their nature do not have an exercise price.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive
officers (as defined herein) and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group of shares of (1) LTRPA, LTRPB
and LTRPP and (2) the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (TRIP), of our consolidated subsidiary Tripadvisor. None
of our directors or named executive officers own shares of Tripadvisor’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (Tripadvisor Class B). Unless otherwise indicated, the security ownership information with respect to our capital
stock is given as of February 29, 2024 and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon 73,066,321
LTRPA shares, 4,057,532 LTRPB shares and 187,414 LTRPP shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. Unless
otherwise indicated, the security ownership information with respect to Tripadvisor is given as of February 29, 2024 and,
in the case of percentage ownership information, is based on 125,099,694 TRIP shares and 12,799,999 Tripadvisor Class B
shares, in each case, outstanding on February 9, 2024. The percentage voting power for Liberty TripAdvisor is presented
on an aggregate basis for all LTRPA and LTRPB shares. LTRPP shares are, however, non-voting and, therefore, in the case
of percentage voting power, are not included. The percentage voting power for TRIP is presented on an aggregate basis
for all series of TRIP common stock.

Shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were
exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after February 29, 2024 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially
owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage
ownership of that person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group,
but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person.
For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of LTRPB, though convertible on a one-for-one
basis into shares of LTRPA, are reported as beneficial ownership of LTRPB only, and not as beneficial ownership of LTRPA.
So far as is known to us, the persons indicated below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares
indicated as owned by them, except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

HEDGING DISCLOSURE

We do not have any practices or policies regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of
their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and
exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any
decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

We know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a
subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent
of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.

Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments to those forms filed with the SEC and
written representations made to us by our executive officers and directors, we believe that, during the year ended
December 31, 2023, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent
beneficial owners were met, with the exception of one Form 4 by Albert E. Rosenthaler reporting one transaction and
one Form 4 by Renee L. Wilm reporting one transaction.

Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer
has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed “related party transaction” (as
defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated
by our Board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company
without the approval of the audit committee of our Board or another independent body of our Board designated to address
such actual or potential conflicts.

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

On March 26, 2020, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, among our company, Certares Holdings LLC (Certares
Holdings), Certares Holdings (Blockable) LLC (Certares Blockable) and Certares Holdings (Optional) LLC (Certares
Optional) (collectively, Assignor) and solely for the purposes of certain provisions specified therein, Gregory B. Maffei, as
assigned pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2020, by and among the
Assignor and Certares LTRIP (the Purchaser, and together with Assignor, Certares), we issued and sold to the Purchaser
325,000 shares of LTRPP, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share. Effective as of March 29, 2021, the Stock Repurchase
Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2021 (the Repurchase Agreement) between our company and the Purchaser,
among other things, amended certain terms of the Investment Agreement. For more information regarding such amended
terms of the Investment Agreement, see “—Stock Repurchase Agreement.”

The Investment Agreement contains certain covenants of our company and Certares, including, among other things, a
covenant that, subject to certain exceptions including those set forth in the Repurchase Agreement and described below,
Certares will not transfer, or agree to transfer, any of its shares of LTRPP.

Board Matters. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, for so long as at least 25% of the original aggregate liquidation
value of the LTRPP shares remains outstanding (the Threshold Amount), the holders of a majority of the LTRPP shares
may appoint one director (the Series A Preferred Threshold Director) to our Board of Directors. Upon the closing of
the transactions pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Mr. M. Gregory O’Hara, Founder and Senior Managing Director of
Certares Management LLC, was appointed as the Series A Preferred Threshold Director and Vice Chairman of our
Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, effective as of March 29, 2021, Mr. O’Hara resigned as the
Series A Preferred Threshold Director and the Purchaser permanently waived its right to appoint the Series A Preferred
Threshold Director. As a condition to the transfer of any LTRPP shares, the transferee must agree to such waiver. In
January 2023, Mr. O’Hara resigned from our Board of Directors. For more information regarding Board matters with
respect to the Repurchase Agreement, see “—Stock Repurchase Agreement—Matters Relating to the Board.”

Consent Rights. For so long as the Threshold Amount remains outstanding, we will not pay any dividends on or repurchase
shares of our common stock without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the LTRPP shares (subject
to certain exceptions). In addition, for so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns a number of shares of LTRPP with an
aggregate liquidation value at least equal to the Threshold Amount, we are required to obtain the prior written consent of the
holders of at least a majority of the LTRPP shares prior to incurring certain indebtedness, issuing any stock which ranks
on a parity basis with or senior to the LTRPP shares, issuing LTRPB shares, subject to certain exceptions, entering into
certain affiliate transactions and transferring shares of Tripadvisor Class B and TRIP.

Sales Process. If our Board of Directors approves the initiation of a sale process to effect a change in control of itself or
the entry into negotiations with a third party for a change in control, and, at such time, the Purchaser beneficially owns a
number of shares of LTRPP with an aggregate liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount, the Investment
Agreement requires us to provide notice of such intent to the Purchaser, designate a nationally recognized investment bank
to act as financial advisor, and provide the Purchaser the opportunity to participate as a potential buyer. In addition, if the
Purchaser owns a number of shares of LTRPP with an aggregate liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount,
subject to certain exceptions, the Purchaser is entitled to certain rights to match offers consisting of at least 90% of cash
consideration to acquire our company or LTRPB shares owned by Mr. Maffei, as the case may be.

CERTA IN RELATIO NSHI PS AN D R E L AT E D PARTY TR A NS ACT IO NS

Consultation. For so long as the Purchaser owns shares of LTRPP having a liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold
Amount, the Purchaser is entitled to certain consultation rights with our company with respect to any matter on which we
vote our shares of Tripadvisor equity and with Mr. Maffei with respect to any matter on which he votes his LTRPB shares.

Tripadvisor Board. The Investment Agreement also required our company, upon closing, to nominate an individual designated
by the Purchaser to the Board of Directors of Tripadvisor for so long as (i) the Purchaser beneficially owns a number of
shares with an aggregate liquidation value equal to at least the Threshold Amount and (ii) we have a right to nominate at
least two directors to Tripadvisor’s board of directors under the Tripadvisor Governance Agreement. On March 27, 2020,
Mr. O’Hara was appointed to the board of directors of Tripadvisor.

The description of the Investment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investment
Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the SEC March 16, 2020.

STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

No repurchases of LTRPP shares were made under the Repurchase Agreement or otherwise in 2023. We have outstanding
187,414 LTRPP shares.

The Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. In addition, the
Repurchase Agreement provides as follows:

Permanent Waiver of Put Right. The Purchaser permanently waived its put right with respect to our LTRPP shares
contained in the Certificate of Designations (the Put Right).

Liberty TripAdvisor Call Right. We have the option, from time to time commencing on March 27, 2024, to call and repurchase
(the Optional Repurchase Right) any and all of the outstanding LTRPP shares at the Optional Repurchase Price (as
such term is defined in the Repurchase Agreement).

Restriction on Transfer of LTRPP Shares. Subject to exceptions contained in the Investment Agreement and the Repurchase
Agreement, the LTRPP shares generally are non-transferable; provided that we have agreed not to unreasonably withhold
our consent to certain transfers of up to 49% of the remaining LTRPP shares outstanding following the completion of
the repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement (so long as there are no more than six holders of the LTRPP shares
at any one time). Any transferee of LTRPP shares must agree to the permanent waiver of the Put Right, the permanent
waiver of the right to appoint the Series A Preferred Threshold Director (as described below) and to the Optional Repurchase
Right.

Lock-up on TRIP. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, and subject to the limited exceptions described therein, the
Purchaser was restricted from transferring TRIP shares for a period of six months commencing on March 22, 2021.

Matters Relating to the Board. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, (i) Mr. O’Hara delivered a resignation to our Board
of Directors as the Series A Preferred Threshold Director, (ii) the Purchaser permanently waived its right to appoint the
Series A Preferred Threshold Director, (iii) the authorized size of our Board of Directors increased by two members (the
LTRP New Board Seats) and (iv) Mr. O’Hara was appointed to one of the LTRP New Board Seats as a Class III member
with a term expiring at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the LTRP 2021 Annual Meeting) and Vice Chairman of our
Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Purchaser nominated Mr. O’Hara to be included in the
slate of nominees recommended by our Board of Directors to our stockholders for election as directors at the LTRP 2021
Annual Meeting, at which meeting Mr. O’Hara was elected to continue serving as a Class III member of our Board of
Directors until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders or his earlier resignation or removal. The Purchaser has the right
to nominate Mr. O’Hara to be included in any future slate of such nominees for Class III directors for so long as Purchaser
beneficially owns LTRPP shares equal to at least the Threshold Amount. In the event Mr. O’Hara is not elected as a
director of our Board of Directors, we will appoint Mr. O’Hara as a non-voting observer of our Board of Directors, subject
to certain customary conditions, for so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns LTRPP shares equal to at least the Threshold
Amount. In the event the Purchaser ceases to beneficially own LTRPP shares equal to at least the Threshold Amount,
the Purchaser will cause Mr. O’Hara to immediately resign from our Board of Directors or, if applicable, his non-voting Board
observer position, which will automatically terminate at such time. Effective January 31, 2023, Mr. O’Hara resigned from
or Board of Directors due to competing professional obligations. In connection with his resignation from our Board of
Directors effective January 31, 2023, Mr. O’Hara no longer serves as Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors. The

Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 7(f) to our Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D
filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

Our company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Purchaser is entitled to demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of LTRPP and any
shares of common stock of our company paid to satisfy our obligations under the Investment Agreement and the Certificate
of Designations. The Purchaser will be entitled to four demand registration rights, subject to certain limitations, including
that each demand must cover at least $15,000,000 in value of shares to be registered and that we will not be required to
effect more than one underwritten shelf takedown during any 180 day period. We will pay the costs associated with such
registrations (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions).

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration
Rights Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 4.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020.

LETTER AGREEMENT WITH MR. MAFFEI

On December 21, 2014, Mr. Maffei received a one-time grant of options consisting of 1,797,107 options to purchase
shares of LTRPB at an exercise price of $27.83 per share (the 2014 Options). Because of the significant voting power
that Mr. Maffei would possess upon exercise of the 2014 Options, our Board of Directors determined that it would be
appropriate to also grant Mr. Maffei approval for purposes of exempting him from the restrictions that may be imposed on him
as an “interested stockholder” under Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (Section 203).
Separately, Mr. Maffei advised our Board that, although no agreement, arrangement or understanding had been reached,
he was in discussions with Mr. Malone regarding a potential exchange of shares of LTRPB owned by the Malones (as
defined below) for shares of LTRPA owned by Mr. Maffei. As a result, the compensation committee of our Board and the
members of our Board independent of Mr. Maffei and the Malones determined that it was appropriate to request that
Mr. Maffei enter into a standstill agreement with our company, and on December 21, 2014, we and Mr. Maffei entered into a
letter agreement (the Standstill Letter). The Standstill Letter was entered into in connection with the grant of the 2014
Options to Mr. Maffei and in anticipation of such potential exchange. On December 22, 2014, Mr. Maffei acquired 2,770,173
shares of LTRPB in exchange for 3,047,190 shares of LTRPA pursuant to an exchange transaction pursuant to which he
exchanged (the Exchange) an aggregate of 3,047,190 shares of LTRPA in a private transaction with John C. Malone, our
Chairman at the time, Mr. Malone’s wife and two trusts (the Trusts) managed by an independent trustee, the beneficiaries
of which are Mr. Malone’s adult children (Mr. Malone, his wife and the Trusts, the Malones), for an aggregate of 2,770,173
shares of LTRPB held by the Malones. Prior to the grant of the 2014 Options and any agreement, arrangement or
understanding between Mr. Maffei and Mr. Malone regarding the Exchange, the compensation committee of our Board
and the members of our Board independent of Mr. Maffei and the Malones approved (x) each of Mr. Maffei and certain of
his related persons as an “interested stockholder” and (y) the acquisition by such persons of shares of our common stock, in
each case, for purposes of Section 203.

Although certain portions of the Standstill Letter terminated in accordance with their terms on December 21, 2019,
Mr. Maffei agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to certain customary standstill provisions, which remain in effect. Such
provisions prohibit Mr. Maffei and his Controlled Affiliates (as defined in the Standstill Letter), unless expressly authorized
by a majority of the members of our Board who are independent, disinterested and unaffiliated with Mr. Maffei and his
Controlled Affiliates, from: (i) effecting or seeking, offering or proposing (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or
announcing any intention to effect or cause or participating in or assisting, facilitating or encouraging any other person to
effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (A) any acquisition of any equity
securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or rights or options to acquire any equity securities (or beneficial ownership
thereof), of our company, (B) any tender or exchange offer, consolidation, business combination, acquisition, merger, joint
venture or other business combination involving our company, (C) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution
or other extraordinary transaction with respect to our company or (D) any solicitation of proxies or consents relating to
the election of directors with respect to our company; (ii) forming, joining or in any way participating in a “group” (as defined
under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act); (iii) depositing any Voting Securities (as defined in the Standstill Letter) in a
voting trust or similar arrangement; (iv) granting any proxies with respect to any Voting Securities to any person (other

CERTA IN RELATIO NSHI PS AN D R E L AT E D PARTY TR A NS ACT IO NS

than in his capacity as a designated representative of our company); (v) otherwise acting (alone or in concert with others),
to call or seek to call a meeting of our stockholders, initiating any stockholder proposal or calling a special meeting of
our Board of Directors; (vi) entering into any third-party discussions regarding the foregoing; (vii) publicly requesting a waiver
or amendment of the foregoing, or making any public announcement regarding such restrictions; (viii) taking any action
which would reasonably be expected to require our company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of
a business combination or merger; or (ix) advising, assisting or knowingly encouraging or directing any person to do so in
connection with the foregoing. However, Mr. Maffei will not be deemed to have breached or violated these limitations to
the extent such actions were taken in connection with his provision of services to our company as a member of our Board
of Directors or as Chief Executive Officer of our company.

The standstill limitations cease to apply (i) if our company fails (subject to certain exceptions) to comply with our obligation
to include Mr. Maffei (or his designee) on the Management Slate for election as a director (other than at Mr. Maffei’s
request or because of Mr. Maffei’s refusal to accept such nomination), (ii) if Mr. Maffei ceases to serve as Chief Executive
Officer of our company other than as a result of his resignation without Good Reason (as defined in the grant agreement
related to the 2014 Options (the Option Agreement)), his Disability (as defined in the Option Agreement) or his termination
for Cause (as defined in the Option Agreement), or (iii) if Mr. Maffei (or his designee) ceases to be a director of our
company, other than (A) due to his refusal to serve as a director of our company or to propose a designee in his place,
(B) due to his (or his designee’s) resignation, (C) due to Mr. Maffei’s election not to submit a replacement candidate for
appointment or (D) during a period following Mr. Maffei’s resignation so long as our company is working in good faith to
appoint a replacement designee of Mr. Maffei. The standstill limitations also cease to apply upon the occurrence of certain
events set forth in the Standstill Letter, including our company entering into discussions regarding a transaction that
would, if consummated, be reasonably likely to result in a Change of Control (unless Mr. Maffei has been released from
such restrictions to the extent reasonably necessary for him to fully participate in any discussions (in his capacity as a
stockholder) and to offer or propose alternative transactions involving himself and his Controlled Affiliates and third parties)
or a third party commences a tender or exchange offer for at least 50.1% of our common stock which would result in a
Change of Control of our company and which offer is not opposed by our company.

The foregoing is a summary of the Standstill Letter and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Standstill Letter,
which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC
on December 29, 2014.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION 

Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. 

Market Information   

Until October 30, 2023, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc.’s (“TripCo” or the “Company”) Series A and Series 
B common stock traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols “LTRPA” and “LTRPB,” respectively. 
Stock price  information  for  securities  traded on  the  Nasdaq Global  Select  Market  can be found  on  The Nasdaq  Stock 
Market’s (“Nasdaq”) website at www.nasdaq.com. Although our Series B common stock was traded on the Nasdaq Global 
Select Market, an established published trading market did not exist for the stock, as it was not actively traded.   

On October 19, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that trading of 
LTRPA and LTRPB would be suspended at the open of business on October 30, 2023 due to LTRPA’s failure to regain 
compliance with Nasdaq’s requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Beginning on October 30, 
2023, LTRPA and LTRPB began trading on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTCQB Venture Market. Any OTC Markets

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial 
condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the 
notes thereto. 

Overview 

TripCo holds an approximate 21% economic interest and 57% voting interest in its subsidiary Tripadvisor, Inc. 

(“Tripadvisor”) as of December 31, 2023.   

The financial information represents the historical consolidated results of TripCo and its subsidiaries as discussed 
in note 1 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the following discussion, TripCo and its subsidiaries 
are referred to as “TripCo,” “the Company,” “us,” “we” and “our”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions 
have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. 

Our “Corporate” category includes corporate expenses. 

Tripadvisor renamed the Tripadvisor Core segment to “Brand Tripadvisor,” and its “Tripadvisor-branded display 
and  platform”  revenue  stream  within  the  Brand  Tripadvisor  segment,  as  “Media  and  advertising”  revenue.  These 
nomenclature changes had no impact on the composition of the segments, revenue streams, or on any current or historic 
financial information. 

Tripadvisor’s stock price declined in March 2020, which triggered the mandatory prepayment of TripCo’s Margin 
Loan  (as  defined  in  note  5  of  the  accompanying  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements).  In  order  to  repay  the 
Margin  Loan,  TripCo  and  Gregory  B.  Maffei  entered  into  an  Investment  Agreement  (the  “Investment  Agreement”) 
with Certares Holdings LLC, Certares Holdings (Blockable) LLC and Certares Holdings (Optional) LLC with respect to 
an investment in TripCo’s newly-created 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share 
(the “Series A Preferred Stock”) which was later assigned to Certares LTRIP LLC (“Certares” or the “Purchaser”). Pursuant 
to the assigned Investment Agreement, on March 26, 2020, TripCo issued 325,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to 
Certares  for  a  purchase  price  of  $1,000 per  share  (see  note  8  in  the  accompanying  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements). On March 29, 2021 and April 6, 2021, TripCo repurchased a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock. See 
further discussion about the Series A Preferred Stock in note 8 to the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial 
statements.    

Strategies and Challenges 

Results for TripCo are largely dependent upon the operating performance of Tripadvisor. Therefore, the executive 
summary below contains the strategies and challenges of Tripadvisor for an understanding of the business objectives of 
Tripadvisor.  

F-2 

 
 
 
Tripadvisor operates in a unique position in the travel and experiences ecosystem:  
•  Large, global, and growing addressable markets including travel, experiences, and digital advertising; 
•  A large, global and engaged audience making meaningful contributions that reinforces a relationship of trust 

and community; and 

•  A  wealth  of  high  intent  data  that  comes  from  serving  its  audience  of  travelers  and  experience  seekers  at 
different points along their journey - whether they are engaging on Tripadvisor’s platforms for  inspiration 
on their next experience, planning a trip, or making a purchasing decision.   

In the Brand Tripadvisor segment, Tripadvisor offers a compelling value proposition to both travelers and partners 
across a number of key offerings that include accommodations, experiences, dining, and media. This value proposition is 
delivered through a collection of durable assets that Tripadvisor believes is difficult to replicate: a trusted brand, authentic 
user generated content, a large community of contributors, and one of the largest global travel audiences.  Tripadvisor’s 
strategy in this segment is to leverage these core assets as well as its technology capabilities to provide travelers with a 
compelling user experience to help make the best decisions in each phase of the travel journey, including pre-trip planning, 
in-destination, and post-trip sharing. Tripadvisor intends to drive new traveler acquisition and repeat audience engagement 
on its platform by offering meaningful travel guidance solutions and services that reduce friction in the traveler journey 
and create a deeper, more persistent relationship with travelers.  Tripadvisor evaluates investment opportunities across 
data,  product,  marketing,  and  technology  that  it  believes  will  improve  and  diversify  the  monetization  of  its  audience 
through deeper engagement, which, in turn, Tripadvisor expects will drive more value to its partners.  

The  Brand  Tripadvisor  segment  plays  an  important  role  in  Tripadvisor’s  portfolio.  For  over  two  decades, 
Tripadvisor believes it has built difficult to replicate assets such as a trusted brand, authentic content, a large community 
of contributors, and one of the largest global travel audiences available. Tripadvisor’s long-term strategy for the Brand 
Tripadvisor segment builds on its heritage and the reasons hundreds of millions of travelers come to Tripadvisor each year. 
Fundamental to this strategy will be: (1) innovating and enhancing world-class travel guidance and planning products to 
help travelers make confident decisions in a world where it is hard to find advice you can trust; (2) prioritizing deeper 
engagement with travelers by leveraging Tripadvisor’s rich data and technology assets to provide more relevant, curated, 
and contextual content throughout the traveler journey; and (3) driving a step change in the value Tripadvisor can deliver 
to its partners by accelerating and diversifying the monetization of its valuable audience across key categories, including 
hotel meta, media advertising, and experiences. 

In  the Viator  and TheFork  segments, Tripadvisor  provides  two-sided  marketplaces  that  connect  travelers  and 
diners  to  operators  of  bookable  experiences  and  restaurants,  respectively.  Within  the  Viator  segment,  Tripadvisor  is 
investing in growth, future scale, and market share gains to accelerate its market leadership position, while improving unit 
economics on both sides of the marketplace that provide visibility to sustainable future profitability. This means driving 
awareness and higher quality audience engagement, which Tripadvisor believes will drive greater repeat behavior, more 
direct  traffic,  and  translate  into  improved  unit  economics  over  time.    Tripadvisor’s  investments  on  both  sides  of  its 
marketplace, as well as in its primary offerings, are intended to deliver a differentiated value proposition that it believes 
will  drive  sustainable  market  leadership  as  its  partners,  operators,  and  travelers  find  themselves  in  an  increasingly 
competitive marketplace environment. Tripadvisor is focused on continuing to grow both its supplier base and its user base 
by offering innovative tools and features on its branded platforms, and through continued awareness of its brand through 
marketing efforts. 

  Tripadvisor  is  focused  on  executing  initiatives  through  organic  investment  in  data,  products,  marketing  and 
technology to further enhance the value it delivers to travelers and partners across its brands, platforms, and segments. In 
addition, Tripadvisor may accelerate growth inorganically by opportunistically pursuing strategic acquisitions.

Current Trends Affecting Tripadvisor’s Business  

The online travel industry in which Tripadvisor operates is large, highly dynamic and competitive. Described 
below are the current trends affecting Tripadvisor’s overall business and segments, including uncertainties that may impact 
Tripadvisor’s ability to execute on its objectives and strategies. Public health-related events, such as a pandemic, political 
instability,  geopolitical  conflicts,  including  the  evolving  events  in  the  Middle  East,  acts  of  terrorism,  fluctuations  in 
currency  values,  and  changes  in  global  economic  conditions,  are  examples  of  other  events  that  could  have  a  negative 
impact on the travel industry, and as a result, Tripadvisor’s financial results in the future.  

The  COVID - 19  pandemic  had  a  significant  negative  impact  on  the  travel  and  hospitality  industries,  and 
consequently,  adversely  and  materially  affected  Tripadvisor’s  business,  results  of  operations,  liquidity  and  financial 
condition during the year ended December 31, 2021. In 2022, Tripadvisor generally experienced a travel demand recovery 
fueled  by  the  continued  easing  of  government  restrictions  globally  and  increasing  consumer  travel  demand,  however, 
during the first quarter of 2022, Tripadvisor experienced a negative impact from the Omicron variant across all segments 
which helped contribute to the year-over-year revenue growth rate during 2023. During 2023, Tripadvisor continued to 
experience strong consumer demand, particularly for its experiences offerings, across the Viator and Brand Tripadvisor 
segments. Asia-Pacific, which represents a small portion of Tripadvisor’s overall business, has been slower to recover due 
to longer and sustained travel restrictions as a result of the COVID - 19 pandemic. However, starting in the first quarter of 
2023, travel restrictions across Asia began to ease relative to 2022, contributing to increased year-over-year revenue growth 
within this region.  

Prior to Google introducing changes to its search engine results page, Tripadvisor generated a significant amount 
of direct traffic from search engines, such as Google, through strong search engine optimization (“SEO”) performance 
across all segments. Tripadvisor believes its SEO traffic acquisition performance has been negatively impacted in the past, 
and  may be  impacted  in  the  future, by metasearch  and  search  engines (primarily  Google)  changing their  search result 
placement and underlying algorithms, including to increase the prominence of their own products in search results across 
Tripadvisor’s business, most notably within Tripadvisor’s hotel meta offering within the Brand Tripadvisor segment. 

In  response  to  strong  consumer  demand  for  Tripadvisor’s  experiences  offerings  across  its  Viator  and  Brand 
Tripadvisor segments, Tripadvisor continued to increase investment in performance marketing and brand spend during 
2023 to drive awareness and grow market share in this large underpenetrated market. Over the long-term, Tripadvisor is 
focused on driving a greater percentage of its bookings from direct channels. Tripadvisor is doing this by continuing to 
focus on increasing its brand recognition and improving the user experience across products on its website and mobile 
app, providing high quality customer service, and offering leading customer choice for online bookable experiences supply.  

The global experiences market is large, growing, and highly fragmented, with the vast majority of bookings still 
occurring through traditional offline sources. Tripadvisor is observing a secular shift, however, as this market continues to 
grow and accelerate the pace of online adoption. Likewise, the global restaurants category is also benefiting from increased 
online adoption by both consumers and restaurant partners, particularly in Europe. Given the competitive positioning of 
Tripadvisor’s businesses relative to the attractive growth prospects in these categories, Tripadvisor expects to continue to 
invest  in  these  categories  across  the Tripadvisor  group,  and  in  particular,  within  the Viator  and TheFork  segments,  to 
continue accelerating revenue growth, operating scale, and market share gains for the long-term. 

Restructuring and Related Reorganization Actions 

During  the  third  quarter  of  2023,  Tripadvisor  approved  and  subsequently  initiated  a  set  of  actions  across  its 
businesses in order to reduce its cost structure, improve operational efficiencies, and realign its workforce with its strategic 
initiatives. The  actions  taken by Tripadvisor  resulted  in  reduced global headcount. Additional  cost  reduction  measures 
taken included discretionary spend and real estate. As a result, Tripadvisor incurred estimated pre-tax restructuring and 
other  related  reorganization  costs  of  $22  million  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2023,  consisting  primarily  of 
employee severance and related benefits. Potential job position eliminations in each country remain subject to local law 
and consultation requirements, which have extended beyond 2023 in certain countries. Therefore, actual costs incurred 
may differ from estimated costs recorded as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor paid $9 million 

F-4 

 
of these costs, and expects the majority of remaining unpaid costs as of December 31, 2023 to be disbursed during the first 
quarter of 2024.  

These cost reduction actions are anticipated to result in an estimated $35 million in annualized cost savings in the 
Brand Tripadvisor segment, which includes corporate general and administrative expenses, and in addition, Tripadvisor 
estimates  $10 million  in  annualized  cost  savings  in TheFork  segment,  primarily related  to global  workforce  reduction 
measures. Although Tripadvisor expects the aforementioned annualized cost savings in Brand Tripadvisor and TheFork 
during 2024, these cost reduction measures did not materially impact Tripadvisor’s actual expenses during 2023, due to 
the timing of when these actions occurred during the year.

(1)  Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue within the Brand Tripadvisor segment is shown gross of intersegment 
(intercompany)  revenue,  which  is  eliminated  on  a  consolidated  basis.  See  note  13  to  the  accompanying 
consolidated financial statements for a discussion of intersegment revenue. 

Tripadvisor-branded  hotels  revenue  primarily  includes  revenue  from  click-based  advertising  on  Tripadvisor’s 
meta  platform  and  to  a  lesser  extent,  hotel  business-to-business  (“B2B”)  revenue,  which  includes  click-based  revenue 
generated from hotel sponsored placement advertising that enable hotels to enhance their visibility on Tripadvisor hotel 
pages, and subscription-based advertising services that Tripadvisor offers to travel partners.  Tripadvisor-branded hotels 
revenue increased $9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022. This 
increase was primarily driven by improved hotel B2B revenue, as well as to a lesser extent, improved hotel meta revenue 
in the rest of world geographic markets, primarily driven by strong consumer travel demand when compared to the same 
period in 2022.  In addition, Tripadvisor’s 2022 results were negatively impacted by the Omicron variant during the first 
quarter of 2022, which contributed to year-over-year growth.  Tripadvisor saw sustained pricing strength in both free and 
paid  traffic  channels,  including,  continued  strength  in  hotel  meta  monetization  in  the  U.S.  where  CPC  rates  remained 
robust when compared to 2022. The performance during 2023 was  partially offset primarily by a decrease in Tripadvisor’s 
European hotel meta revenue during the last three quarters of 2023, as described above, as well as, an increased competitive 
environment  in  paid  online  marketing  channels  and  product  decisions  Tripadvisor  has  implemented  to  provide  more 
qualified referrals to its partners, leading to a decrease in click volumes.  

  Media and advertising revenue consists of revenue from display-based advertising (or “media advertising”) across 
its  platform.  Media  and  advertising  revenue  increased  $15  million  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2023,  when 
compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by an increase in marketing spend from advertisers, in correlation 
with growth in consumer travel demand. 

Tripadvisor experiences and dining revenue includes intercompany (intersegment) revenue, consisting of affiliate 
marketing commissions earned primarily from experience bookings and, to a lesser extent, restaurant reservation bookings, 
on Tripadvisor-branded websites and mobile apps that are fulfilled by Viator and TheFork, respectively, and are eliminated 
on a consolidated basis, in addition to revenue from Brand Tripadvisor’s restaurant offerings. Tripadvisor experiences and 
dining revenue increased $42 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in 
2022,  primarily  driven  by  strong  consumer  demand  for  experiences,  combined  with  enhancements  to  Tripadvisor’s 
websites and mobile apps.  

Other  revenue  includes  alternative  accommodation  rentals  revenue  in  addition  to  primarily  click-based 
advertising and display-based advertising revenue from cruise, flights and rental car offerings on Tripadvisor websites and 
mobile apps.  Other revenue decreased $1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to the same 
period in 2022.

  Viator revenue increased $244 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to the same 
period in 2022, primarily driven by strong consumer demand for experiences across all geographies, including growth in 
both bookings and pricing of experiences, as well as enhancements to Tripadvisor’s websites and mobile apps. In addition, 
this  segment’s  revenue  was  negatively  impacted  by  the  Omicron  variant  in  the  first  quarter  of  2022,  which  helped 
contribute to the year-over-year revenue growth rate during 2023. Viator is also benefiting from a larger macro trend, or 
secular shift, as the large global market in which it operates continues to grow and migrate online from traditional offline 
sources. 

  TheFork segment revenue increased $28 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to 
the same period in 2022. This improvement was driven by increased consumer demand for dining, including increased 
bookings  and  pricing,  during  2023  when  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2022,  as  well  as  the  negative  impact  of  the 
Omicron  variant  that  occurred  during  the  first  quarter of 2022, which  helped  contribute  to  the  year-over-year revenue 
growth rate during 2023. In addition, Tripadvisor estimates this segment's revenue growth rate was positively impacted by 
foreign currency fluctuations of approximately 3% during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared to the same 
period in 2022. 

Operating Expense.  Operating expense increased $80 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared 
to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by a $47 million increase in technology and content costs and a $33 
million  increase  in  cost  of  revenue.  Technology  and  content  costs  increased  primarily  due  to  increased  personnel  and 
overhead costs resulting from additional headcount and contingent staff to support business growth, primarily in the Brand 
Tripadvisor  and Viator  segments,  as well  as  increased  software licensing  costs  in  the Brand Tripadvisor  segment. The 
increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to increased direct costs from credit card payment processing fees and other 
revenue-related transaction costs  of $23 million in the Viator segment in direct correlation with the increase in revenue, 
as Viator serves as the merchant of record for the significant majority of its experience booking transactions, and to a lesser 
extent, increased direct revenue generation costs related to data center costs and other revenue-related transaction costs in 
the Brand Tripadvisor segment.  

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $173 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. The most significant driver of selling, 
general  and  administrative  expense  is  selling  and  marketing  expenses,  which  includes  direct  costs,  such  as  traffic 
generation  costs  from  SEM  and  other  online  traffic  acquisition  costs,  syndication  costs  and  affiliate  marketing 
commissions, social media costs, brand advertising (including television and other offline advertising), promotions and 
public relations, and indirect costs, such as personnel and overhead expenses, including salaries, commissions, benefits, 
bonuses for sales, sales support, customer support and marketing employees. Selling and marketing costs increased $152 
million during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. In addition, direct selling 
and marketing costs as a percentage of total consolidated revenue were 41% during the year ended December 31, 2023, 
an increase from 39% when compared to the same period in 2022. This incremental expense was primarily driven by an 
increase  of  $137  million  in  paid  online  traffic  acquisition  costs  and  other  marketing  costs,  including  brand  spend,  the 
substantial  majority  of  which  were  incurred  within  the  Viator  segment  and  to  a  lesser  extent,  the  Brand  Tripadvisor 
segment, in order to capture consumer demand, including increased investment within these segments in order to grow 
market share, slightly offset by a decrease in SEM and other paid online traffic acquisition spend in TheFork segment.  

General and administrative costs increased $19 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared 
to the same period in 2022, primarily due to non-income tax related government assistance benefits related to COVID - 19 
relief of $11 million received by Tripadvisor during 2022 in TheFork segment, which did not reoccur in 2023, incremental 
digital service tax costs of $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as a non-recurring cost of $3 million 
related to previously capitalized transaction costs during 2023. These increases were partially offset by an approximate $8 
million loss incurred during 2022 as the result of a fraud scheme resulting in payments to an external party (disclosed 
below) which did not reoccur in 2023.  

Depreciation  and  amortization.    Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  $10  million  during  the year  ended 
December 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the completion of amortization related 
to certain capitalized website development costs and intangible assets purchased in business acquisitions from previous 
years.

Restructuring  and  other  related  reorganization  costs. Tripadvisor  incurred  restructuring  and  other  related 
reorganization costs of $22 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, as discussed above.  These costs consist 
primarily of employee severance and related benefits.   

Impairment  of  goodwill  and  intangible  assets.    TripCo  recorded  goodwill  impairments  of $820 million  and 
trademark  impairments  of $205 million  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2023  related  to  the  Brand  Tripadvisor 
reporting unit. See note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

Operating Income (Loss). Our consolidated operating income (loss) declined $1,000 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. Operating income was impacted by the above 
explanations.  

Adjusted  OIBDA.  To  provide  investors  with  additional  information  regarding  our  financial  results,  we  also 
disclose Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.  We define Adjusted OIBDA as Operating income 
(loss)  plus  depreciation  and  amortization,  stock-based  compensation,  separately  reported  litigation  settlements, 
restructuring,  acquisition  and  other  related  costs  and  impairment  charges.  Our  chief  operating  decision  maker  and 
management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our business and make 
decisions about our resources. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our 
businesses  by  identifying  those  items  that  are  not  directly  a  reflection  of  each  business’  performance  or  indicative  of 
ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and 
benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should 
be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating 
activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles (“GAAP”).

(1)  Tripadvisor expensed $3 million of previously capitalized transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 

2023 to selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation on the consolidated statement 
of operations. Tripadvisor considers such costs to be non-recurring in nature. 

(2)  Tripadvisor incurred a loss of approximately $8 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, as the result of 

external fraud, which was recorded to selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation 
on the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. Tripadvisor considers 
such costs to be non-recurring in nature. To the extent Tripadvisor recovers any losses in future periods related 
to this incident, Tripadvisor plans to reduce Adjusted OIBDA by the recovery amount in those periods.

  Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased $37 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the 

corresponding prior year period.  

  Brand Tripadvisor Adjusted OIBDA increased $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared 
to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue as noted above, partially offset by increases in personnel 
and overhead costs to support business growth, despite the impact of Tripadvisor’s cost reduction measures which did not 
materially impact its segment expenses, as discussed above, as well as an increase in direct selling and marketing expenses 
related to paid online traffic acquisition costs, direct revenue generation costs related to data center and other direct revenue 
related costs, and software licensing costs.  

Viator Adjusted OIBDA loss improved $11 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared 
to the same period in 2022, due to an increase in revenue as noted above, partially offset by an increase in selling and 
marketing expenses related to SEM, other online paid traffic acquisition costs, and other marketing costs, including brand 
spend, in response to strong consumer demand for experiences and increased investment to grow market share, acquire 
new customers, and drive brand awareness, and to a lesser extent, an increase in revenue generation costs resulting from 
credit  card  payments  and  other  revenue-related  transaction  costs  in  direct  correlation  with  the  increase  in  revenue.  In 
addition, Viator segment revenue growth was also partially offset by increases in personnel and overhead costs to support 
business growth related to strong consumer demand. 

  TheFork Adjusted OIBDA loss improved $25 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared 
to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue as noted above, a decrease in selling and marketing 
expenses related to SEM, other online paid traffic acquisition costs and television advertising costs. These improvements 
were partially offset by $11 million of non-income tax government assistance benefits related to COVID - 19 relief received 
during 2022 recorded as a benefit to general and administrative expenses, which did not reoccur in 2023, and an increase 
in personnel and overhead costs to support business growth related to the travel demand recovery that began during 2022, 
despite the impact of Tripadvisor’s cost reduction measures which did not materially impact its  segment expenses during 
2023, as discussed above. 

Corporate Adjusted OIBDA loss increased $2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared 
to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased legal expenses. Corporate Adjusted OIBDA includes TripCo level 
selling, general and administrative expenses. 

Interest  expense.    Interest  expense  increased  $2  million  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2023,  when 
compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the accretion of TripCo’s Series A Preferred Stock (as defined in 
note  8  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements)  through  interest  expense,  as  well  as  an  amendment  to 
TripCo’s Variable Prepaid Forward (as defined in note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements) in 2022 
that increased the amount borrowed and the interest rate, which increased the amount accreted through interest expense in 
2023 compared to the prior year.

Dividend  and  interest  income.  Dividend  and  interest  income  increased  $33  million  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in the average amount of 
cash invested at Tripadvisor and increased interest rates received on bank and term deposits, as well as an increase in 
interest earned on money market funds during 2023. 

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on

The changes in these accounts are primarily due to market factors and changes in the fair value of the underlying 
stocks or financial instruments to which these related.  Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net 
decreased $94 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease 
was primarily due to a decrease in unrealized gains of $36 million related to the Preferred Stock Derivative (defined in 
note 3 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements), an increase in unrealized losses of $31 million related to 
the  TripCo  0.50%  Exchangeable  Senior  Debentures  due  2051  (the  “Debentures”),  and  a  decrease  in  unrealized  gains 
related to the Variable Prepaid Forward (defined in note 3 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) of $23 
million.  

Other, net.  Other, net expense decreased $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to 
the same period in 2022. Activity in the Other, net account primarily relates to foreign exchange gains (losses), share of 
earnings (losses) of affiliates, and other gain (loss) at Tripadvisor. 

Income  taxes.    The  Company  had  income  tax  expense  of  $53  million  and  $47  million  for  the  years  ended 

December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  

During 2023, the Company recognized tax expense instead of a tax benefit at the expected federal tax rate of 21% 
primarily due  to goodwill impairments that are not deductible for tax purposes and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. 

During 2022, the Company recognized tax expense greater than the expected federal tax rate of 21% primarily 
due  to  changes  in  unrecognized  tax  benefits  and  the  recognition  of  excess  tax  benefits  and  shortfalls  to  stock  based 
compensation. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

As of December 31, 2023, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand in global 
financial  institutions,  money  market  funds  and  marketable  securities,  with  maturities  of  90  days  or  less  at  the  date 
purchased. 

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, proceeds from asset sales, monetization 
of  our  investments  (including  sales  of  Tripadvisor  shares),  outstanding  or  anticipated  debt  facilities,  debt  and  equity 
issuances, and dividend and interest receipts. 

As of December 31, 2023, TripCo had a cash balance of $1,090 million. Approximately $1,067 million of the 
cash balance is held at Tripadvisor. Although TripCo has a 57% voting interest in Tripadvisor, Tripadvisor is a separate 
public company with a significant non-controlling interest, as TripCo has only a 21% economic interest in Tripadvisor. 

F-10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
    
   
     
 
 
 
 
Even  though  TripCo  controls  Tripadvisor  through  its  voting  interest  and  board  representation,  decision  making  with 
respect  to  using  Tripadvisor’s  cash balances  must  consider  Tripadvisor’s  minority holders. Accordingly,  any potential 
distributions of cash from Tripadvisor to TripCo would generally be on a pro rata basis based on economic ownership 
interests.  Covenants  in  Tripadvisor’s  debt  instruments  also  restrict  the  payment  of  dividends  and  cash  distributions  to 
stockholders. See note 5 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  

As  of  December 31,  2023,  approximately  $247  million  of  TripCo  cash  and  cash  equivalents  were  held  by 
Tripadvisor’s international subsidiaries outside of the U.S., of which approximately 50% was located in the U.K., with the 
majority of Tripadvisor’s cash denominated in U.S. dollars.  As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor had $483 million of 
cumulative undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries, which were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested. 
See note 7 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor is party to a credit agreement, which, among other things, provides for a 
$500 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of June 29, 2028 (unless, on any date that 
is 91 days prior to the final scheduled maturity date in respect of any indebtedness outstanding under certain “specified 
debt,” the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such specified debt is $200 million or more, then the maturity date 
will be such business day). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Tripadvisor had no outstanding borrowings under the 
Credit Facility. Tripadvisor may borrow from the Credit Facility in U.S. dollars, Euros and Sterling. See note 5 to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding interest rates on potential borrowings under the 
Credit Facility.  

Tripadvisor is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee, at an applicable rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.40%, 
on the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility for each fiscal quarter and in connection with the issuance of letters of 
credit. As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor’s unused revolver capacity was subject to a commitment fee of 0.25%, given 
Tripadvisor’s total net leverage ratio. The Credit Facility, among other things, requires Tripadvisor to maintain a maximum 
total net leverage ratio and contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including 
for a change of control. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Tripadvisor was in compliance with its covenant requirements 
in effect under the Credit Facility.  While there can be no assurance that Tripadvisor will be able to meet the total net 
leverage ratio covenant in the future, based on its current projections, Tripadvisor does not believe there is a material risk 
that it will not remain in compliance throughout the next twelve months.  

  As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor had an aggregate principal amount of $845 million in long-term debt, as 

a result of the 2025 Senior Notes and 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, as discussed below. 

 In July 2020, Tripadvisor completed the sale of $500 million of its outstanding aggregate principal amount of 
senior  notes  due  2025  (“2025  Senior  Notes”).  The  2025  Senior  Notes  provide,  among  other  things,  that  interest  at  an 
interest rate of 7.0% per annum is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, until their maturity on July 15, 2025. 
The 2025 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Tripadvisor, although unconditionally guaranteed on a joint 
and several basis, by certain of Tripadvisor’s domestic subsidiaries. In March 2021, Tripadvisor completed the sale of 
$345 million of convertible senior notes due 2026 (“2026 Convertible Senior Notes”). The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes 
provide, among other things, that interest, at an interest rate of 0.25% per annum, is payable on April 1 and October 1 of 
each year, until their maturity on April 1, 2026. The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of 
Tripadvisor,  although  unconditionally  guaranteed  on  a  joint  and  several  basis,  by  certain  of  Tripadvisor’s  domestic 
subsidiaries. 

The 2025 Senior Notes and 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are not registered securities and there are currently no 
plans to register these notes as securities in the future. Tripadvisor may from time to time repurchase the 2025 Senior 
Notes or 2026 Convertible Senior Notes through tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions 
or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual 
restrictions and other factors.  

Historically, Tripadvisor’s operating cash flows have been sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, 
capital expenditures and long term debt obligations and other financial commitments and are expected to be sufficient in 
future periods.

  During the year ended December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor’s primary source of cash was from operations, while its 
primary uses of cash were $100 million to repurchase shares of its common stock,  $63 million of capital expended for 
property  and  equipment  and  $17  million  related  to  payments  of  withholding  taxes  on  net  share  settlements  of  equity 
awards. 

The projected use of TripCo’s corporate cash will primarily be to pay fees (not expected to exceed $4 million 
annually)  to  Liberty Media  for  providing  certain  services  pursuant  to  the  services  agreement  and  the  facilities  sharing 
agreement, payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock (unless added to the liquidation price or paid in shares 
of Series A common stock of TripCo), interest expense on TripCo’s 0.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2051 
(approximately  $2  million  annually)  and  to  pay  any  other  corporate  level  expenses.  Debt  service  costs  accrue  on  the 
variable prepaid forward borrowing described in note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. TripCo 
believes that its available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient through at least the next twelve months. Beyond 
twelve  months  TripCo  has  certain  obligations  that  will  require  further  liquidity  action  which  could  include  actions 
described above in potential sources of liquidity.  

Tripadvisor  believes  that  its  available  cash  and  cash  equivalents  will  be  sufficient  to  fund  Tripadvisor’s 
foreseeable  working  capital  requirements,  capital  expenditures,  existing  business  growth  initiatives,  debt  and  interest 
obligations, lease commitments, tax-related payments and other financial commitments through at least the next twelve 
months.  Tripadvisor’s  future  capital  requirements  may  also  include  capital  needs  for  acquisitions,  and/or  other 
expenditures  in  support  of  its  business  strategy,  and  may  potentially  reduce  Tripadvisor’s  cash  balance  and/or  require 
Tripadvisor to borrow under its Credit Facility or to seek other financing alternatives.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Material Cash Requirements 

We have contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course 
of business  including potential  tax  obligations associated  with  certain  transactions following  the formation of  TripCo. 
Although it is reasonably possible we may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range 
of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy 
such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

The following table summarizes current and long-term material cash requirements, both accrued and off-balance 

sheet, as of December 31, 2023, excluding uncertain tax positions as it is undeterminable when payments will be made.

(1)  Estimated future lease payments for Tripadvisor’s corporate headquarters lease in Needham, Massachusetts and 
operating leases, primarily for office space, with non-cancelable lease terms. These amounts exclude expected 
rental income under non-cancelable subleases. See note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements 
for further information.  

(2)  Amounts are stated at the face amount at maturity of our debt instruments and may differ from the amounts stated 
in our consolidated balance sheet to the extent debt instruments have elements which are reported at fair value. 
Amounts do not assume additional borrowings or refinancings of existing debt. 

(3)  Amounts are based on our outstanding debt at December 31, 2023 and assume that our existing debt is repaid at 

maturity.  

(4)  Amount that will be paid to settle debt host component of Series A Preferred Stock on March 27, 2025, assuming 
TripCo  does  not  exercise  its  call  right,  as  described  in  note  8  to  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial 
statements,  prior  to  such  date.  This  amount  differs  from  the  preferred  stock  liability  balance  stated  in  our 
consolidated balance sheet as the liability is being accreted to the amount to be paid upon settlement. See note 8 
to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information. 

(5)  Includes purchase obligations, expected commitment fee payments on the Credit Facility and long term income 

taxes payable. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The  preparation  of  our  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  GAAP  requires  us  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Listed below are the accounting estimates that we believe 
are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved 
and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. 

Recognition and Recoverability of Goodwill, Intangible and Long-lived Assets 

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that the assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the 
purchase  price  over  the  estimated  fair  values  of  the  net  assets  acquired  is  recorded  as  goodwill.  We  test  goodwill  for 
impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Goodwill is allocated 
to our reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been allocated to the reporting units, 
it  no  longer retains  its  identification with  a  particular acquisition  and becomes  identified with  the reporting unit  in  its 
entirety. Accordingly, the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole is available to support the recoverability of its goodwill.  

Our non-financial instrument valuations are primarily comprised of our annual assessment of the recoverability 
of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangibles, such as trademarks and our evaluation of the recoverability of our 
other long-lived assets upon certain triggering events and the initial recognition of such assets through the application of 

F-13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the purchase accounting method. If the carrying value of our definite lived intangible assets and long-lived assets exceeds 
their expected undiscounted cash flows, we are required to write the carrying value down to fair value. Any such writedown 
is included in impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of operations. A high degree of judgment is 
required to estimate the fair value of our long-lived assets. We may use quoted market prices, prices for similar assets, 
present value techniques and other valuation techniques to prepare these estimates. We may need to make estimates of 
future cash flows and discount rates as well as other assumptions in order to implement these valuation techniques. Due 
to the high degree of judgment involved in our estimation techniques, any value ultimately derived from our long-lived 
assets may differ from our estimate of fair value.  

We perform our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other non-amortizable intangible 
assets during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. 
The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not 
that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to 
perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the 
qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The 
entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative 
basis,  the  Company  reviews  the  business  performance  of  each  reporting  unit  and  evaluates  other  relevant  factors  as 
identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indicated impairment 
exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there are any negative macroeconomic conditions, 
industry  specific  conditions,  market  changes,  increased  competition,  increased  costs  in  doing  business,  management 
challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact company specific performance in future periods. 
As part of the analysis, the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain reporting units that have been 
made at various points throughout the current and prior year for other purposes. If, based on the qualitative analysis, it is 
more likely than not that an impairment exists, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. 

As of December 31, 2023, the intangible assets not subject to amortization for each of our reportable segments 

were as follows:  

Brand Tripadvisor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Given a sustained decline in Tripadvisor’s stock price leading up to September 30, 2023, TripCo performed a 
quantitative analysis of the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit and Tripadvisor trademark as of September 30, 2023. Based 
on near-term business trends and their impact on long term assumptions, combined with macro-economic factors such as 
rising interest rates, we concluded that the estimated fair values of the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit and the Tripadvisor 
trademark  were  less  than  their  respective  carrying  values.  As  a  result,  TripCo  recognized  a  goodwill  impairment 
of $820 million  and  a  trademark  impairment  of $205 million  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2023,  related  to  the 
Brand Tripadvisor  reporting  unit. The  fair  value  of  the  reporting  unit  was  determined  using  a  combination  of  market 
multiples (market approach) and discounted cash flow (income approach) calculations (Level 3). The fair value of the 
trademarks was determined using the relief from royalty method (Level 3). 

TripCo  will  continue  to  monitor  Tripadvisor’s  financial  performance,  stock  price  and  other  events  and 
circumstances that may negatively impact the estimated fair values to determine if future impairment assessments may be 
necessary. 

Income Taxes  

We are required to estimate the amount of tax payable or refundable for the current year and the deferred income 
tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in our financial statements or 
tax returns for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. This process requires our management to make judgments 

F-14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
regarding the timing and probability of the ultimate tax impact of the various agreements and transactions that we enter 
into. Based on these judgments we may record tax reserves or adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets 
to reflect the expected realizability of future tax benefits. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to 
future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our inability to generate 
sufficient  future  taxable  income  or  unpredicted  results  from  the  final  determination  of  each  year’s  liability  by  taxing 
authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position. 

Additionally, Tripadvisor records liabilities to address uncertain tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns 
or that are expected to be taken in a future tax return. The determination for required liabilities is based upon an analysis 
of each individual tax position, taking into consideration whether it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on 
its technical merits, will be sustained upon examination. For those positions for which a conclusion is reached that it is 
more likely than not it will be sustained, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized 
upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recognized. The difference between the amount recognized and the 
total tax position is recorded as a liability. The ultimate resolution of these tax positions may be greater or less than the 
liabilities recorded.  

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. 

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investment and financial 
activities and the conduct of operations by Tripadvisor in different foreign countries. Market risk refers to the risk of loss 
arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can be 
assessed  from  the  perspective  of  adverse  changes  in  fair  values,  cash  flows  and  future  earnings.  We  have  established 
policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments 
to manage our exposure to such risks. 

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which 
include  investments  in  fixed  and floating rate  debt  instruments  and borrowings used  to  maintain  liquidity  and  to  fund 
business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future 
requirements, market conditions and other factors. We expect to manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what 
we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. 
We expect to achieve this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant 
term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest 
rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate.  As of December 31, 2023, our debt is comprised of the following 
amounts: 

Tripadvisor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TripCo is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related primarily to the monetary assets and liabilities 
and the financial results of Tripadvisor's foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the 
functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the statements 
of operations are generally translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating 
foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation 
adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a 
separate component of stockholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are 
recorded  based  on  exchange  rates  at  the  time  such  transactions  arise.  Subsequent  changes  in  exchange  rates  result  in 
transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized 
upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate 
for the period. Accordingly, TripCo may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with

respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Tripadvisor enters into foreign 
currency forward contracts to manage its risk related to foreign currency exchange rates when it deems appropriate.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the 
Company's financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) of the Exchange Act.  The Company's internal 
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting 
and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  GAAP.  Because  of  inherent 
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes 
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. 

The  Company's  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31,  2023,  using  the  criteria  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  (2013),  issued  by  the  Committee  of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of 
December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors 
Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc.: 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries 
(the  Company)  as  of  December 31, 2023  and  2022,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive 
earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the 
related notes  (collectively,  the  consolidated  financial  statements). In  our opinion,  the  consolidated financial  statements 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the 
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, in 
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

Basis for Opinion 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to 
express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm 
registered  with  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States)  (PCAOB)  and  are  required  to  be 
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an 
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 

Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our 
audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matters 

The  critical  audit  matters  communicated  below  are  matters  arising  from  the  current  period  audit  of  the  consolidated 
financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate 
to  accounts  or  disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (2) involved  our  especially 
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of  critical audit matters does not alter in any way our 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit 
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they 
relate. 

Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue 

As  discussed  in  note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  and  disclosed  in  the  consolidated  statements  of 
operations, the Company had $1,788 million in revenue, net of intersegment revenue of $134 million, for the year 
ended December 31, 2023, of which $1,031 million was Brand Tripadvisor related, $737 million was Viator related, 
and $154  million was  TheFork  related.  Each of  these  categories of revenue has  multiple  revenue  streams  and  the 
Company’s processes and information technology (IT) systems differ between each revenue stream.  

F-18 

 
 
 
 
 
We  identified  the  evaluation  of  sufficiency  of  audit  evidence  over  revenue  as  a  critical  audit  matter.  This  matter 
required especially subjective auditor judgment due to the number of revenue streams and the related IT applications 
utilized  throughout  the  revenue  recognition  processes.  Subjective  auditor  judgment  was  required  to  evaluate  that 
relevant revenue data was captured and aggregated throughout these various IT applications. This matter also included 
determining the revenue streams over which procedures would be performed and evaluating the nature and extent of 
evidence  obtained  over  each  revenue  stream,  both  of  which  included  the  involvement  of  IT  professionals  with 
specialized skills and knowledge.  

The  following  are  the  primary  procedures  we  performed  to  address  this  critical  audit  matter.  We  applied  auditor 
judgment to determine the nature and extent of the procedures to be performed over revenue. For each revenue stream 
where procedures were performed: 

•  we  evaluated  the  design  and  tested  the  operating  effectiveness  of  certain  internal  controls  related  to  the 

critical audit matter. This included controls related to accurate recording of amounts. 

• 

• 

for  certain  revenue  streams,  we  assessed  the  recorded  revenue  by  selecting  a  sample  of  transactions  and 
compared  the amounts recognized for  consistency with  underlying documentation,  including  evidence  of 
contracts with customers. 

for certain revenue streams, we assessed the recorded revenue by comparing the total cash received during 
the year to the revenue recognized, including evaluating the relevance and reliability of the inputs to the 
assessment. 

We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in: 

• 

• 

testing certain IT applications used by the Company in its revenue recognition processes. 

testing  the  transfer  of  relevant  revenue  data  between  certain  systems  used  in  the  revenue  recognition 
processes. 

We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of the procedures performed. 

Evaluation of unrecognized tax benefits related to transfer pricing 

As discussed in notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the 
Company recorded additional income tax expense and transfer pricing income tax reserves, inclusive of estimated 
interest, of $24 million for open tax periods based on a review of the impact of a settlement for certain transfer pricing 
arrangements  between  its  U.S.  subsidiaries  and  foreign  subsidiaries  for  the  2009  through  2011  tax  years.  The 
Company records a liability to address uncertain tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or that the Company 
expects to take in a future tax return. The determination to record a liability is based upon an analysis of each individual 
tax position, taking into consideration whether it is more likely than not that the tax position, based on technical merits, 
will be sustained upon examination. 

We identified the evaluation of certain inputs to the estimate of unrecognized tax benefits related to transfer pricing 
as  a  critical  audit  matter.  Complex  auditor judgment,  including  specialized  skills  and knowledge,  was  required  in 
assessing  estimated  unrecognized  tax  benefits  related  to  transfer  pricing  based  on  interpretation  of  tax  laws  and 
regulations, and settlements. 

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design 
and tested the operating effectiveness of an internal control over the Company’s process for estimating unrecognized 
tax benefits related to transfer pricing, including a control related to certain inputs to the estimate. We involved tax 
professionals  with  specialized  skills  and  knowledge,  who  assisted  in  analyzing  certain  inputs  to  the  Company’s 
determination  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits  related  to  transfer  pricing  based  on  interpretation  of  tax  laws  and 
regulations, and settlements.

Valuation of Tripadvisor trademark and goodwill in the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit 

As discussed in notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs impairment assessments 
of its trademark indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a trademark intangible asset more likely than not exceeds its fair 
value or  the  carrying value of  a  reporting unit with goodwill  more  likely  than not  exceeds  its  fair value. Given  a 
sustained decline in Tripadvisor’s stock price, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment of the 
Tripadvisor trademark and goodwill in the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit as of September 30, 2023. The fair value 
estimate related to the Tripadvisor trademark was determined using the relief from royalty method, and an impairment 
loss of $205 million was recorded by the Company. The fair value estimate of the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit 
was determined using a combination of market multiples method (market approach) and discounted cash flow method 
(income approach), and the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $820 million. The trademark intangible 
assets and goodwill balances as of December 31, 2023 were $522 million and $1,387 million, respectively.  

We identified the evaluation of the Company’s impairment assessment for the Tripadvisor trademark and goodwill in 
the  Brand  Tripadvisor  reporting  unit  as  a  critical  audit  matter.  A  high  degree  of  subjective  auditor  judgment  was 
required to evaluate the key assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Tripadvisor trademark and the Brand 
Tripadvisor reporting unit, specifically the forecasted revenue growth rates and discount rates.  Minor changes in these 
assumptions could have had a significant impact on the determined fair values.  Additionally, the evaluation of the 
discount rate assumptions required specialized skills and knowledge. 

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design 
of certain internal controls related to the Company’s trademark and goodwill impairment assessment process for the 
Tripadvisor trademark and goodwill in the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit, including controls over the determination 
of the key assumptions noted above.  We evaluated the forecasted revenue growth rates used in the Company’s fair 
value  determinations  by  comparing  them  to  historical  actual  results,  analysts’  forecasted  growth  rates  for  the 
Company, and forecasted growth rates in comparable industries and of peer companies. We compared the Company’s 
historical  forecasted  revenue  to  actual  historical  results  to  assess  the  Company’s  ability  to  accurately  forecast.  In 
addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the 
discount rates used by management by comparing them to a range of independently developed discount rates using 
publicly available market data for comparable companies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

(1)  Basis of Presentation 

Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“TripCo” or the “Company”) was formed in 2013 as a Delaware corporation.  
TripCo was a subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation (subsequently renamed Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail”)) 
until the completion of its spin-off from Qurate Retail on August 27, 2014 (“TripCo Spin-Off”).  TripCo does not have 
any operations outside of its controlling interest in its subsidiary Tripadvisor, Inc. (“Tripadvisor”). Tripadvisor operates 
as a stand-alone operating entity.  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and represent a consolidation of the historical financial information 
of Tripadvisor. These financial statements refer to the consolidation of Tripadvisor as “TripCo,” “the Company,” “us,” 
“we”  and  “our”  in  the  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and 
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have 
been reclassified for comparability with the current period presentation. 

Description of Business 

Tripadvisor operates as a family of brands with a purpose of connecting people to experiences worth sharing. 
Tripadvisor’s vision is to be the world’s most trusted source for travel and experiences. Tripadvisor operates across three 
reportable  segments:  Brand  Tripadvisor  (formerly  Tripadvisor  Core),  Viator,  and  TheFork.  Tripadvisor  leverages  its 
brands, technology platforms and capabilities to connect its large, global audience with partners by offering rich content, 
travel  guidance  products  and  services,  and  two-sided  marketplaces  for  experiences,  accommodations,  restaurants,  and 
other travel categories.  

The Tripadvisor brand offers travelers and experience seekers an online global platform for travelers to discover, 
generate, and share authentic user-generated content in the form of ratings and reviews for destinations, points-of-interest, 
experiences,  accommodations,  restaurants,  and  cruises  in  over  40  countries  and  in  more  than  20  languages  across  the 
world.  Tripadvisor  offers  more  than  1  billion  user-generated  ratings  and  reviews  on  over  8  million  experiences, 
accommodations, restaurants, airlines, and cruises. Viator’s online marketplace is comprehensive, connecting travelers to 
bookable  tours,  activities  and  attractions—  consisting  of  over  350,000  experiences  from  more  than  55,000  operators. 
TheFork provides an online marketplace that enables diners to discover and book online reservations at approximately 
55,000 restaurants in 11 countries, across the U.K., and western and central Europe. 

Risks and Uncertainties 

Tripadvisor and the Company were negatively impacted by the risks and uncertainties related to the COVID - 19 
pandemic and Tripadvisor’s business would be adversely and materially affected upon a resurgence of COVID - 19 or the 
emergence  of  any  new  pandemic  or  other  health  crisis  that  results  in  reinstated  travel  bans  and/or  other  government 
restrictions and mandates. Following the lifting of restrictions in connection with the COVID - 19 pandemic, travel demand 
increased.  In  addition,  the  U.S.  and  other  countries  saw  significant  increased  inflation  and  decreases  in  discretionary 
spending patterns by consumers. If macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, consumer demand and spending may decline. 
Tripadvisor  may  not  be  able  to  pass  on  increased  costs  to  its  customers  and  its  inability  or  failure  to  navigate  the 
macroeconomic environment could harm its business, results of operations and financial condition. 

Additionally, natural disasters, public health-related events, political instability, geopolitical conflicts, including 
the evolving events in the Middle East, acts of terrorism, fluctuations in currency values, and changes in global economic

conditions,  are  examples  of  other  events  that  could  have  a  negative  impact  on  the  travel  industry,  and  as  a  result, 
Tripadvisor’s financial results in the future. 

Seasonality 

Consumer  travel  expenditures  have  historically  followed  a  seasonal  pattern.  Correspondingly,  travel  partner 
advertising  investments,  and  therefore  Tripadvisor’s  revenue  and  operating  profits,  have  also  historically  followed  a 
seasonal pattern. Tripadvisor’s financial performance tends to be seasonally highest in the second and third quarters of a 
given year, which includes the seasonal peak in consumer demand, including traveler accommodation stays, and travel 
experiences taken, compared to the first and fourth quarters, which represent seasonal low points. In addition, during the 
first half of the year, experience bookings typically exceed the amount of completed experiences, resulting in higher cash 
flow  related  to  working  capital,  while  during  the  second half  of  the  year,  particularly  in  the  third quarter,  this pattern 
reverses and cash flows from these transactions are typically negative. Other factors may also impact typical seasonal 
fluctuations, such as significant shifts in Tripadvisor’s business mix, adverse economic conditions, public health-related 
events, as well as other factors. 

Spin-Off of TripCo from Qurate Retail 

The  TripCo  Spin-Off  was  completed  on  August 27,  2014.  Following  the  TripCo  Spin-Off,  Qurate  Retail  and 
TripCo operate as separate, publicly traded companies, and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in 
the  other.  In  connection  with  the  TripCo  Spin-Off,  TripCo  entered  into  certain  agreements,  including  the  services 
agreement,  the  facilities  sharing  agreement  and  the  tax  sharing  agreement,  with  Qurate  Retail  and/or  Liberty  Media 
Corporation (“Liberty Media”) (or certain of their subsidiaries) in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships 
between the companies after the TripCo Spin-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. 

Pursuant to the services agreement (except as described below in respect to Gregory B. Maffei), Liberty Media 
provides TripCo with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations 
support.  Liberty  TripCo  reimburses  Liberty  Media  for  direct,  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  by  Liberty  Media  in 
providing these services and TripCo pays a services fee to Liberty Media under the services agreement that is subject to 
adjustment semi-annually, as necessary.  

Pursuant to the services agreement, in connection with Liberty Media’s employment arrangement with Gregory 
B. Maffei, TripCo’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, components of Mr. Maffei’s compensation will 
either be paid directly to him or reimbursed to Liberty Media, based on allocations set forth in the services agreement. For 
each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the allocation percentage for TripCo was 5%, but is subject 
to adjustment on an annual basis and upon the occurrence of certain events.   

Under the facilities sharing agreement, TripCo shares office space with Liberty Media and related amenities at 

Liberty Media’s corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. 

The tax sharing agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between 

Qurate Retail and TripCo and other agreements related to tax matters. 

Under these agreements, approximately $3 million, $3 million and $4 million was reimbursable to Liberty Media 

for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, generally including money market funds, term deposits 

and marketable securities, with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses 

Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and are recorded net 
of  an  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses.  Tripadvisor  records  accounts  receivable  at  the  invoiced  amount,  and  its 
customer  invoices  are  generally  due  30  days  from  the  time  of  invoicing.  Tripadvisor  uses  the  “expected  credit  loss” 
methodology, allowed under GAAP, in estimating its allowance for credit losses. 

Tripadvisor applies the “expected credit loss” methodology by first assessing its historical losses based on credit 
sales and then adding in an assessment of expected changes in the foreseeable future, whether positive or negative, to 
Tripadvisor’s  ability  to  collect  its  outstanding  accounts  receivables,  or  the  expectation  for  future  losses.  Tripadvisor 
develops its expectation for future losses by assessing the profiles of its customers using their historical payment patterns, 
any  known  changes  to  those  customers’  ability  to  fulfill  their  payment  obligations,  and  assessing  broader  economic 
conditions that may impact its customers’ ability to pay their obligations.  Where appropriate, Tripadvisor performs this 
analysis using a portfolio approach. Portfolios comprise customers with similar characteristics and payment history, and 
Tripadvisor has concluded that the aggregation of these customers into various portfolios does not produce a result that is 
materially different from considering the affected customers individually. Customers are assigned internal credit ratings, 
as determined by Tripadvisor, based on its collection profiles. Customers whose outstanding obligations are less likely to 
experience a credit loss are assigned a higher internal credit rating, and those customers whose outstanding obligations are 
more  likely  to  experience  a credit  loss  are assigned  a  lower  credit  rating.   Tripadvisor recognizes  a greater  credit  loss 
allowance  on  the  accounts  receivable  due  from  those  customers  in  the  lower  credit  rating  tranche,  as  determined  by 
Tripadvisor. When Tripadvisor becomes aware of facts and circumstances affecting an individual customer, it also takes 
that specific customer information into account as part of its calculation of expected credit losses. 

Tripadvisor's  exposure  to  credit  losses  may  increase  if  its  customers  are  adversely  affected  by  changes  in 
macroeconomic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, or other customer-specific 
factors. 

The following table presents the changes in the allowance for credit losses for the periods presented:

Derivative Instruments 

All of the Company’s derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance 
sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and 
of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow 
hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive earnings 
and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes 
in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in 
the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. None of the Company’s derivatives are currently designated as 
hedges. 

The fair value of certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton 
model. The Black-Scholes-Merton model incorporates a number of variables in determining such fair values, including 
expected volatility of the underlying security and an appropriate discount rate. The Company obtains volatility rates from 
pricing  services  based  on  the  expected  volatility  of  the  underlying  security  over  the  remaining  term  of  the  derivative 
instrument. A discount rate is obtained at the inception of the derivative instrument and updated each reporting period, 
based on the Company’s estimate of the discount rate at which it could currently settle the derivative instrument. The 
Company  considers  its  own  credit  risk  as  well  as  the  credit  risk  of  its  counterparties  in  estimating  the  discount  rate. 
Management judgment is required in estimating the Black-Scholes-Merton model variables.

Property  and  equipment  is  recorded  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation,  less  impairments,  if  any. 
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three to five 
years for computer equipment and furniture, office equipment and other. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using 
the straight-line method, over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease. 
Refer to note 6 for a discussion on accounting for leases and other financial disclosures.  

Leases  

The Company, through its consolidated companies, leases facilities in several countries around the world and 
certain equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements.  Refer to note 6 for a discussion on accounting for leases and 
other financial disclosures.

Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their 
estimated  residual  values,  and  reviewed  for  impairment  upon  certain  triggering  events.  Goodwill  and  other  intangible 
assets with indefinite useful lives (collectively, "indefinite lived intangible assets") are not amortized, but instead are tested 
for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed 
during the fourth quarter of each year. 

The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely 
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is 
necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to 
bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment 
test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. 

In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting 
unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it was more 
likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there 
are  any  negative  macroeconomic  conditions,  industry  specific  conditions,  market  changes,  increased  competition, 
increased costs in doing business, management challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact 
company  specific  performance  in  future  periods.  As  part  of  the  analysis,  the  Company  also  considers  fair  value 
determinations for certain reporting units that have been made at various points throughout the current year and prior year 
for other purposes. If, based on the qualitative analysis, it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the Company 
performs the quantitative impairment test. 

The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying 
value. Developing estimates of fair value requires significant judgments, including making assumptions about appropriate 
discount rates, perpetual growth rates, relevant comparable market multiples, public trading prices and the amount and 
timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in TripCo's valuation analyses, where applicable, are based 
on management's best estimates considering current marketplace factors and risks as well as assumptions of growth rates 
in future years. There can be no assurance that actual results will approximate these forecasts.  

The accounting guidance also permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is 
more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. The accounting guidance 
also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period 
and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in 
any subsequent period. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the 
Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative assessment is 
performed.  If  the  carrying  value  of  an  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  exceeds  its  fair  value,  an  impairment  loss  is 
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. See note 4 for discussion of goodwill and trademark impairments. 

Website Development Costs  

Certain  costs  incurred  during  the  application  development  stage  related  to  the  development  of  websites  are 
capitalized and included in other intangible assets subject to amortization. Capitalized costs include internal and external 
costs, if direct and incremental, and deemed by management to be significant. Costs related to the planning and post-
implementation phases of software and website development are expensed as these costs are incurred. Maintenance and 
enhancement costs (including those costs in the post-implementation stages) are typically expensed as incurred, unless

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software resulting in added functionality, in 
which case the costs are capitalized. 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets 

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and its intangible assets 
(other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles) to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that 
such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying  amount of the asset group  is greater than the  expected 
undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset group, including its ultimate disposition, an impairment adjustment 
is recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such asset groups exceeds their fair 
value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated 
future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair 
value of asset groups. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Asset groups to be disposed 
of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. 

Noncontrolling Interests 

Noncontrolling interest relates to the equity ownership interest in Tripadvisor that the Company does not own. 
The Company reports noncontrolling interests of consolidated companies within equity in the consolidated balance sheets 
and the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is presented in the consolidated 
statements of operations. Also, changes in ownership interests in consolidated companies in which the Company maintains 
a controlling interest are recorded in equity. 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses 

The  functional  currency  of  the  Company  is  the  United  States  (“U.S.”)  dollar.  The  functional  currency  of  the 
Company’s foreign operations generally is the applicable local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities 
of  foreign  subsidiaries  are  translated  at  the  spot  rate  in  effect  at  the  applicable  reporting  date,  and  the  consolidated 
statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting 
unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated 
other comprehensive earnings (loss) in equity. 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates 
at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses which are 
reflected  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  earnings  (loss)  as  unrealized 
(based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. 

Accordingly, we have recorded foreign currency exchange losses of $5 million, $9 million and $6 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, in other, net on our consolidated statements of operations.  

Revenue Recognition  

Tripadvisor generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. It recognizes revenue when it satisfies a 
performance  obligation  by  transferring  control  of  the  promised  services  to  a  customer  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the 
consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those services. When Tripadvisor acts as an agent in the transaction, 
it recognizes revenue for only its commission on the arrangement. Tripadvisor determines revenue recognition through the

LIBERTY TRIPADVISOR HOLDINGS, INC. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

following steps: 

(1)  Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer 
(2)  Identification of the performance obligations in the contract 
(3)  Determination of the transaction price 
(4)  Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract 
(5)  Recognition of revenue when, or as, Tripadvisor satisfies a performance obligation 

At contract inception, Tripadvisor assesses the services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a 
performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a service (or bundle of services) that is distinct. To 
identify  the  performance  obligations,  Tripadvisor  considers  all  of  the  services  promised  in  the  contract  regardless  of 
whether  they  are  explicitly  stated  or  are  implied  by  customary  business  practices.  There  was  no  significant  revenue 
recognized in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior 
periods.  Tripadvisor  has  applied  a  practical  expedient  and  does  not  disclose  the  value  of  unsatisfied  performance 
obligations that have an original expected duration of less than one year. Tripadvisor expects to complete its performance 
obligations  within  one  year  from  the  initial  transaction  date. The  value  related  to Tripadvisor’s  remaining  or  partially 
satisfied performance obligations relates to subscription services that are satisfied over time or services that are recognized 
at  a  point  in  time,  but  not  yet  achieved.   The  timing  of  services,  invoicing  and  payments  do  not  include  a  significant 
financing component. Tripadvisor’s customer invoices are generally due 30 days from the time of invoicing.  

  Tripadvisor recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the 
benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. Although the substantial majority of its contract costs have an amortization 
period  of  less  than  one  year,  Tripadvisor  has  determined  contract  costs  arising  from  certain  sales  incentives  have  an 
amortization period in excess of one year given the high likelihood of contract renewal. Sales incentives are not paid upon 
renewal of these contracts and therefore are not commensurate with the initial sales incentive costs. As of December 31, 
2023 and 2022, there were $3 million and $4 million, respectively, of unamortized contract costs in other long-term assets 
on the consolidated balance sheet. Tripadvisor amortizes these contract costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated 
customer  life,  which  is  based  on  historical  customer  retention  rates.  Amortization  expense  recorded  to  selling  and 
marketing expense on the consolidated statements of operations during each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 
and 2021, was $1 million. Tripadvisor assesses such asset for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023, 
2022 and 2021. 

  The  recognition  of  revenue  may  require  the  application  of  judgment  related  to  the  determination  of  the 
performance  obligations  and  the  timing  of  when  the  performance  obligations  are  satisfied.  The  determination  of 
Tripadvisor’s  performance  obligations  does  not  require  significant  judgment  given  that  it  generally  does  not  provide 
multiple services to a customer in a transaction, and the point in which control is transferred to the customer is readily 
determinable. In instances where Tripadvisor recognizes revenue over time, it generally has either a subscription service 
that  is  recognized  over  time  on  a  straight-line  basis  using  the  time-elapsed  output  method,  or  based  on  other  output 
measures that provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of its services. When an estimate for cancellations is included in 
the transaction price, Tripadvisor bases its estimate on historical cancellation rates and current trends. Taxes assessed by a 
government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue–producing transaction, that are 
collected by Tripadvisor from a customer, are reported on a net basis, or in other words excluded from revenue on the 
consolidated financial statements.

Brand Tripadvisor Segment (formerly Tripadvisor Core Segment) 

Tripadvisor-branded Hotels Revenue. The largest source of Brand Tripadvisor segment revenue is generated 
from click-based advertising on Tripadvisor-branded websites, which Tripadvisor refers to as its hotel meta (also referred 
to as hotel auction) revenue, which is primarily comprised of contextually-relevant booking links to Tripadvisor’s travel 
partners’  websites.  Click-based  advertising  is  generally  priced  on  a  cost-per-click  (“CPC”)  basis,  with  payments  from 
travel partners determined by the number of travelers who click on a link multiplied by the CPC rate for each specific click 
as determined in a dynamic, competitive auction process.  

Tripadvisor also generates revenue from its cost-per-acquisition (“CPA”) model, which consists of contextually-
relevant booking links to its travel partner’s websites which are advertised on its platform. Tripadvisor earns a commission 
from its travel partners, based on a pre-determined contractual commission rate, for each traveler who clicks to and books 
a hotel reservation on the travel partner’s website, which results in a traveler stay. CPA revenue is billable only upon the 
completion of each traveler’s stay resulting from a hotel reservation. The travel partners provide the service to the travelers 
and Tripadvisor acts as an agent under GAAP. Tripadvisor’s performance obligation is complete at the time of the hotel 
reservation booking, and the commission earned is recognized upon booking, as Tripadvisor has no post-booking service 
obligations.  Tripadvisor  recognizes  this  revenue  net  of  an  estimate  of  the  impact  of  cancellations,  using  historical 
cancellation rates and current trends. Contract assets are recognized at the time of booking for commissions that are billable 
upon the completion of a traveler’s stay. CPA revenue is generally billed to Tripadvisor’s travel partners two months after 
traveler stays are completed.  

In addition, Tripadvisor offers business to business solutions to hotels, including subscription-based advertising 
to  hotels,  owners  of  B&Bs  and  other  specialty  lodging  properties.  Subscription-based  advertising  services  are 
predominantly sold for a flat fee for a contracted period of time of one year or less and revenue is recognized on a straight-
line basis over the period of the subscription service as efforts are expended evenly throughout the contract period.  

To a lesser extent, Tripadvisor also offers travel partners the opportunity to advertise and promote their business 
through hotel sponsored placements on its platform. This service is generally priced on a CPC basis, with payments from 
travel partners determined by the number of travelers who click on the sponsored link multiplied by the CPC rate for each 
specific click. CPC rates for hotel sponsored placements that Tripadvisor’s travel partners pay are generally based on bids 
submitted as part of an auction by its travel partners or a pre-determined contractual CPC rate. The travel partner agrees 
to pay Tripadvisor the CPC rate amount each time a traveler clicks on a link to the travel partner’s website. Tripadvisor 
records  this  click-based  advertising  revenue  as  the  click  occurs  and  traveler  leads  are  sent  to  the  travel  partner  as  its 
performance obligation is fulfilled at that time. Hotel sponsored placements revenue is generally billed to Tripadvisor’s 
travel partners monthly, consistent with the timing of the service. 

  Media and Advertising Revenue. Tripadvisor offers travel partners the ability to promote their brands through 
display-based  advertising  (“media  advertising”)  placements  across  Tripadvisor’s  platform.  Tripadvisor  display-based 
advertising  clients  are  predominantly  direct  suppliers  of  hotels,  airlines  and  cruises,  as  well  as  destination  marketing 
organizations. Tripadvisor also sells display-based advertising to online travel agencies and other travel related businesses, 
as well as to advertisers from non-travel categories. Display-based advertising is sold predominantly on a cost per thousand 
impressions basis.  The performance obligation in Tripadvisor’s display-based advertising arrangements is to display a 
number of advertising impressions on its platform and recognize revenue for impressions as they are delivered. Services 
are generally billed monthly. 

Tripadvisor-Experiences  and  Dining  Revenue.  Tripadvisor  generates  revenue  from  its  experiences  and 
restaurant offerings on Tripadvisor-branded websites and mobile apps.  Tripadvisor receives intercompany (intersegment)

revenue consisting of affiliate marketing commissions earned primarily from experience bookings and, to a lesser extent, 
restaurant  reservations  bookings,  on  Tripadvisor-branded  websites  and  mobile  apps,  fulfilled  by  Viator  and  TheFork, 
respectively, which are eliminated on a consolidated basis. The performance obligations, timing of customer payments for 
Tripadvisor’s experiences and dining transactions, and methods of revenue recognition are consistent with the Viator and 
TheFork segments, as described below. In addition, Tripadvisor offers restaurant partners the opportunity to advertise and 
promote their business through restaurant media advertising placements on its platform. This service is generally priced 
on a CPC basis similar to the Tripadvisor-branded hotels revenue stream discussed above.  

  Other. Tripadvisor’s alternative accommodation rentals offering provides information and services that allow 
travelers to research and book vacation and short-term rental properties. The alternative accommodation rentals offering 
primarily generates revenue by offering individual property owners and managers the ability to list their properties on 
Tripadvisor’s  platform,  thereby  connecting  with  travelers  through  a  free-to-list,  commission-based  option. Tripadvisor 
earns commissions associated with rental transactions through its free-to-list model from both the traveler and the property 
owner or manager. Tripadvisor provides post-booking services to the travelers, property owners and managers until the 
time the rental commences, which is the time the performance obligation is completed. 

In addition, Other also includes revenue generated from cruises, flights, and rental car offerings on Tripadvisor-
branded websites and mobile apps and Tripadvisor’s portfolio of brands, which primarily includes click-based advertising 
and display-based advertising revenue. 

Viator Segment 

  Tripadvisor  provides  an  online  marketplace  that  allows  travelers  to  research  and  book  tours,  activities  and 
attractions in popular travel destinations across the globe through its Viator branded platform, which includes website, 
mobile web, and mobile app. Tripadvisor generates commissions for each booking transaction it facilitates through its 
online reservation system in exchange for certain activities, including the use of Tripadvisor’s booking platform, post-
booking 24/7 customer support  until the time of the experience and payment processing activities as the merchant of 
record, which is the completion of the performance obligation. Tripadvisor collects payment from the customer prior to 
the experience occurring, which includes both its commission and the amount due to the operator. Tripadvisor records its 
commissions as deferred revenue on its consolidated balance sheet when payment is received, including amounts which 
are refundable subject to cancellation, until the experience occurs and revenue is recognized. 

TheFork Segment  

Tripadvisor  provides  information  and  services  for  consumers  to  research  and  book  restaurants  through  its 
dedicated online restaurant reservations platform, TheFork. Tripadvisor primarily generates transaction fees (or per seated 
diner fees) that are paid by its restaurant customers for diners seated primarily from bookings through TheFork’s online 
reservation system.  The transaction fee is recognized as revenue after the reservation is fulfilled, or as diners are seated 
by Tripadvisor’s restaurant customers. Tripadvisor invoices restaurants monthly for transaction fees.  

Practical Expedients and Exemptions 

Tripadvisor expenses costs to obtain a contract as incurred, such as sales incentives, when the amortization period 

would have been one year or less. 

Tripadvisor does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original 
expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right 
to invoice for services performed.

Disaggregation of Revenue  

Tripadvisor  disaggregates  revenue  from  contracts  with  customers  into  major  products  and  revenue  sources. 
Tripadvisor  has  determined  that  disaggregating  revenue  into  these  categories  achieves  the  disclosure  objective  under 
GAAP  to  depict  how  the nature,  amount,  timing  and  uncertainty of revenue  and  cash  flows  are  affected by  economic 
factors. Revenue is recognized primarily at a point in time for all reported segments.

Accounts receivable are recognized when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets are 
rights to consideration in exchange for services that Tripadvisor has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional 
on something other than the passage of time, such as commission payments that are contingent upon the completion of the 
service  by  the  principal  in  the  transaction.  The  difference  between  the  opening  and  closing  balances  of  Tripadvisor’s 
contract assets primarily results from the timing difference between when Tripadvisor satisfies its performance obligations 
and the time when the principal completes the service in the transaction.  

Contract liabilities generally include payments received in advance of performance under the contract, and are 
realized  as  revenue  as  the  performance  obligation  to  the  customer  is  satisfied,  which  Tripadvisor  presents  as  deferred 
revenue on its consolidated balance sheet. As of January 1, 2023 and 2022, Tripadvisor had $44 million and $36 million, 
respectively,  recorded  as  deferred  revenue  on  its  consolidated  balance  sheet,  of  which  $41  million  and  $34  million, 
respectively, was recognized into revenue and $3 million and $2 million, respectively, was refunded due to cancellations 
by travelers during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

There were  no  significant  changes  in deferred revenue during  the  years  ended December 31,  2023  and 2022, 

related to business combinations, impairments, cumulative catch-ups or other material adjustments.  

Operating Expense 

Operating  expenses  consist  primarily  of  certain  technology  and  content  expenses,  including  personnel  and 
overhead expenses which include salaries, benefits and bonuses for salaried employees and contractors engaged in the 
design, development, testing content support and maintenance of Tripadvisor’s platform. Operating expense also includes, 
to a lesser extent, costs of services which are expenses that are closely correlated or directly related to service revenue 
generated, including credit card and other booking transaction payment fees, data center costs, ad serving fees, and other 
revenue generating costs. Other costs include licensing, maintenance, computer supplies, telecom, content translation and 
localization and consulting costs. 

General and Administrative 

General  and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel  and  related  overhead  costs,  including 
personnel engaged in leadership, finance, legal and human resource functions as well as professional service fees and other 
fees including audit, legal, tax and accounting, and other operating costs including bad debt expense and non-income taxes, 
such as sales, use and other non-income related taxes. 

Selling and Marketing 

Selling  and  marketing  expenses  primarily  consist  of  direct  costs,  including  traffic  generation  costs  from  paid 
online traffic acquisition costs (including search engine marketing (“SEM”), and other online traffic acquisition costs), 
syndication  costs  and  affiliate  marketing  commissions,  social  media  costs,  brand  advertising  (including  television  and 
other offline advertising), promotions and public relations. In addition, our indirect sales and marketing expense consists 
of  personnel  and  overhead  expenses,  including  salaries,  commissions,  benefits,  and  bonuses  for  sales,  sales  support, 
customer support and marketing employees. 

Tripadvisor incurs advertising expense consisting of online advertising expense, including SEM and other online 
channels, and offline advertising costs, including television costs and other offline channels, to promote its brands. Costs 
associated with  communicating  the  advertisements  are  expensed  in  the period  in which  the  advertisement  takes place. 
Production costs associated with advertisements are expensed in the period in which the advertisement first takes place. 
Advertising expense was $706 million, $572 million and $282 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 
2021, respectively.  

Stock-Based Compensation 

As more fully described in note 10, TripCo grants to its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries 
restricted  stock  (“RSUs”)  and  options  (collectively,  “Awards”)  to  purchase  shares  of  TripCo  common  stock.  TripCo 
measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and 
restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the 
employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). TripCo measures the cost of employee 
services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures 
the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. Certain outstanding awards that were previously granted by Qurate 
Retail were assumed by TripCo upon the completion of the TripCo Spin-Off. Additionally, Tripadvisor is a consolidated 
company  and  has  issued  stock-based  compensation  to  its  employees  related  to  its  common  stock.  The  consolidated 
statements of operations include stock-based compensation related to TripCo Awards and Tripadvisor equity awards.

Income Taxes  

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value 
amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax 
credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted income tax rates in effect for each 
taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be 
recovered or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more 
likely than not that such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider all relevant factors when assessing the 
likelihood  of  future  realization  of  our  deferred  tax  assets,  including  our  recent  earnings  experience  by  jurisdiction, 
expectations of future taxable income, and the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes, as well as 
assessing available tax planning strategies. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates 
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Due to inherent complexities arising from the nature 
of our businesses, future changes in income tax law, tax sharing agreements or variances between our actual and anticipated 
operating results, we make certain judgments and estimates. Therefore, actual income taxes could materially vary from 
these estimates. 

When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes 
interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest 
expense  is  included  in  income  tax  (expense)  benefit  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  Any 
accrual of penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in income tax (expense) 
benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 

We recognize in our consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely 

than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. 

Deferred Merchant Payables 

In Tripadvisor’s experiences offerings and free-to-list alternative accommodation rental offerings, Tripadvisor 
receives payment from travelers at the time of booking or prior to the experience or property rental date and records these 
amounts, net of Tripadvisor’s commissions, on its consolidated balance sheet as deferred merchant payables. Tripadvisor 
pays experience operators and rental property owners, after the travelers’ use. Therefore, it receives payment from the 
traveler prior to paying the experience operator or rental property owner and this operating cycle represents a working 
capital source or use of cash to Tripadvisor. Tripadvisor’s deferred merchant payables balance was $237 million and $203 
million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Certain Risks and Concentrations 

Tripadvisor’s  business  is  subject  to  certain  risks  and  concentrations,  including  a  concentration  related  to 
dependence on relationships with its customers. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, Tripadvisor’s 
two most significant travel partners, Expedia Group Inc., and its subsidiaries (“Expedia”) and Booking Holdings Inc., and 
its subsidiaries, each of which accounted for 10% or more of Tripadvisor’s consolidated revenue and combined accounted 
for approximately 25%, 31% and 34%, respectively, of its total revenue. Additionally, Tripadvisor’s business is dependent 
on  relationships  with  third-party  service  providers  it  relies  on  to  fulfill  service  obligations  to  Tripadvisor’s  customers 
where  Tripadvisor  is  the  merchant  of  record,  such  as  Tripadvisor’s  experience  operators.  However,  no  one  operator’s 
inventory  resulted  in  more  than  10%  of  Tripadvisor’s  revenue  on  a  consolidated  basis  in  any  period  presented.  As  of 
December 31,  2023  and  2022,  Expedia  accounted  for  approximately  10%  and  19%,  respectively,  of  Tripadvisor’s 
consolidated accounts receivable, net.  

Contingent Liabilities 

Periodically,  the  Company  reviews  the  status  of  all  significant  outstanding  matters  to  assess  any  potential 
financial exposure. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and (ii) the 
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and is material, we record the estimated loss in our consolidated statement 
of operations. The Company provides disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies 
that do not meet both these conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be 
material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Significant  judgment  is  required  to  determine  the  probability  that  a 
liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. Accruals are based on the best information 
available at the time which can be highly subjective. The final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the 
amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments 

and comprehensive earnings (loss) attributable to debt credit risk adjustments. 

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share (EPS) 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common 
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the 
dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods 
presented. Excluded from EPS for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are 2 million, 3 million and 3 
million potential common shares, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. Also excluded from EPS for 
the  year  ended  December 31,  2021,  because  their  inclusion  would  be  antidilutive,  were  3  million  shares,  that  were 
contingently issuable at the Company’s election pursuant to an exercise of the Put Option (defined and described in note 
8),  as  calculated  in  accordance with  the  terms  of  the  Certificate  of Designations for  the  Series A  Preferred Stock. On 
March 29, 2021, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement (described and defined in note 8), the Put Option no longer exists. 
The  contingently  issuable  shares  pursuant  to  the  Put  Option  were  calculated  for  the  period  that  the  Put  Option  was 
outstanding.

reported since the result would be antidilutive. 

Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts  of  revenue  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.  The 
Company considers (i) recoverability and recognition of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets and (ii) accounting for 
income taxes to be its most significant estimates.  

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 
(“ASU”) 2023 - 07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment 
disclosure  requirements,  primarily  through  additional  disclosures  about  significant  segment  expenses.  The  standard  is 
effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,  2023,  and  interim  periods  within  fiscal  years  beginning  after 
December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods 
presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the disclosure requirements related to 
the new standard. 

In December 2023, the  FASB 

issued  ASU 2023 - 09, Improvements 
to  Income  Tax  Disclosures, which 
requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about 
their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure 
requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The effective date for 
the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the 
process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the related disclosures. 

(3)  Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value 

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs 
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 
inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability,

either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have 
any material recurring assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3. 

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

As of December 31, 2022, Tripadvisor had $200 million of term deposits with maturities of 90 days or less in 
major global financial institutions. There were no term deposits with maturities of 90 days or less in major global financial 
institutions as of December 31, 2023. Tripadvisor generally classifies cash equivalents and marketable securities, if any, 
within Level 1 and Level 2 as it values these financial instruments using quoted market prices (Level 1) or alternative 
pricing sources (Level 2). Fair values for Level 2 investments are considered Level 2 valuations because they are obtained 
from independent pricing sources for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices 
in active markets. 

The  fair  value  of  TripCo’s  0.50%  Exchangeable  Senior Debentures due  2051  (the  “Debentures”)  is  based  on 
quoted  market  prices  but  the  Debentures  are  not  considered  to  be  traded  on  “active  markets.”    Accordingly,  they  are 
reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. 

In March 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“TripSPV”), entered into a variable prepaid forward 
contract (“VPF”) with a financial institution with respect to 2.4 million shares of Tripadvisor (“TRIP”) common stock held 
by  the  Company.  Pursuant  to  an  amendment  to  the  VPF  on  August 10,  2022,  the  VPF  has  a  forward  floor  price  of 
$23.64 per share and a forward cap price of $29.24 per share. TripSPV received proceeds of approximately $9 million on 
August 11, 2022 (see note 6) in connection with the amendment. The VPF is included in other assets in the consolidated 
balance sheet.  

As a result of the Repurchase Agreement, as described in note 8, TripCo determined the Series A Preferred Stock 
required  liability  treatment  and  needed  to  be  bifurcated  between  a  debt  host  and  derivative  (the  “Preferred  Stock 
Derivative”). The Preferred Stock Derivative was recorded at fair value upon the reclassification from temporary equity. 
Changes  in  the  fair  values of  the  VPF  and  Preferred  Stock Derivative are  recognized  in realized  and unrealized  gains 
(losses) on financial instruments, net in the consolidated statements of operations.   

The fair value of the VPF and Preferred Stock Derivative were derived from a Black-Scholes-Merton model using 

observable market data as the significant inputs.

Other Financial Instruments 

Other  financial  instruments  not  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  include  trade  receivables,  trade 
payables, accrued and other current liabilities and long-term debt (excluding the Debentures). With the exception of debt, 
the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments as reported on our consolidated 
balance sheets. See note 5 for a description of the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt. See note 8 for a description 
of the fair value of the debt host component of the Company’s Preferred Stock Derivative.

The Company has elected to account for the Debentures using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of 
the Debentures  and  financial  instruments recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  are  primarily  due  to 
market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares of the financial instruments. During 
the  year  ended  December 31,  2021,  the  fair  value  adjustment  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations 
included approximately $5 million of debt issuance costs related to the Debentures. The Company isolates the portion of 
the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to the change in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in 
other  comprehensive  earnings  (loss).  The  change  in  the  fair  value  of  the Debentures attributable  to  changes  in  the 
instrument specific credit risk was a loss of $14 million, a gain of $36 million and a gain of $7 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.  The cumulative change was a gain of $29 million as of December 31, 
2023.

Impairments 

Following the change in reportable segments during the second quarter of 2022, the reporting units are as follows: 
(1) Brand Tripadvisor,  (2) Viator,  and  (3) TheFork,  for  the  purpose  of  goodwill  impairment  testing. As  a  result  of  this 
reporting unit change, we performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment of our legacy and current reporting 
units during the second quarter of 2022 and determined that it was more likely than not that the respective fair values of 
the legacy and current reporting units were greater than their respective carrying values.  

Given a sustained decline in Tripadvisor’s stock price leading up to September 30, 2023, TripCo performed a 
quantitative analysis of the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit and Tripadvisor trademark as of September 30, 2023. Based 
on near-term business trends and their impact on long term assumptions, combined with macro-economic factors such as 
rising interest rates, we concluded that the estimated fair values of the Brand Tripadvisor reporting unit and the Tripadvisor 
trademark  were  less  than  their  respective  carrying  values.  As  a  result,  TripCo  recognized  a  goodwill  impairment 
of $820 million  and  a  trademark  impairment  of $205 million  during  the  year  ended December 31,  2023,  related  to  the 
Brand Tripadvisor  reporting  unit. The  fair  value  of  the  reporting  unit  was  determined  using  a  combination  of  market 
multiples (market approach) and discounted cash flow (income approach) calculations (Level 3). The fair value of the 
trademarks was determined using the relief from royalty method (Level 3).  

Based on the quantitative assessment performed during the third quarter of 2023 and the resulting impairment 
losses  recorded,  the  estimated  fair  values  of  the  trademark  and  Brand  Tripadvisor  reporting  unit  approximate  their 
respective carrying values as of December 31, 2023.  

As of December 31, 2023, accumulated goodwill impairment losses for Tripadvisor totaled $2,391 million.

TripCo Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2051 

On March 25, 2021, TripCo issued $300 million aggregate original principal amount of its Debentures.  Pursuant 
to the terms of the offering, on March 31, 2021, the initial purchasers notified the Company of their intention to exercise 
the  option  to  purchase  $30 million  aggregate  original  principal  amount  of  additional  Debentures.  The  additional 
Debentures were issued on April 5, 2021. Upon an exchange of Debentures, TripCo, at its option, may deliver shares of 
TRIP  common  stock  or  the  value  thereof  in  cash  or  a  combination  of  shares  of  TRIP  common  stock  and  cash. 
Initially, 14.3299 shares of TRIP common stock are attributable to each $1,000 original principal amount of Debentures, 
representing  an  initial  exchange  price  of  approximately  $69.78 for  each  share  of  TRIP  common  stock.  A  total  of 
approximately 4.7 million shares of TRIP common stock are attributable to the Debentures. Interest is payable quarterly 
on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 2021. The Debentures may be 
redeemed by TripCo, in whole or in part, on or after March 27, 2025. Holders of Debentures also have the right to require 
TripCo to purchase their Debentures on March 27, 2025. The redemption and purchase price will generally equal 100% 
of the adjusted principal amount of the Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, plus any final 
period  distribution.  As  of  December 31,  2023,  a  holder  of  the  Debentures  does  not  have  the  ability  to  exchange  and, 
accordingly, the Debentures are classified as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. 

TripCo used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures to fund the cash portion of the purchase 

price for the repurchase of a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock (see note 8 below). 

TripCo Variable Prepaid Forward   

The VPF amendment executed in August 2022, as described in note 3, was accounted for as a modification for 
the  debt  component  of  the  VPF.  Accordingly,  the  proceeds  of  $9 million  TripCo  received  in  connection  with  the 
amendment  was  reflected  as  an  incremental  borrowing  for  the  debt  component  of  the  VPF.  The  VPF  matures  in 
November 2025. At  maturity,  the  accreted  loan  amount  due  will  be  approximately  $57 million.   As  of  December 31, 
2023, 2.4 million shares of TRIP, with a value of approximately $52 million, were pledged as collateral pursuant to the 
VPF contract.

Tripadvisor Credit Facility 

Tripadvisor is party to a credit agreement with a group of lenders initially entered into in June 2015 and amended 
and restated in June 2023 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, provides for a $500 million 
secured  revolving  credit  facility  (the  “Credit  Facility”).  As  of  December 31,  2023  and  2022,  Tripadvisor  had  no 
outstanding borrowings from the Credit Facility. In addition, the Credit Facility includes $15 million of borrowing capacity 
available for letters of credit and $40 million for swing-line borrowings on same-day notice. As of December 31, 2023 and 
2022, Tripadvisor had issued $4 million of undrawn standby letters of credit under the Credit Facility. For the years ended 
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, Tripadvisor recorded commitment fees on its Credit Facility of $1 million, $1 million 
and  $3  million,  respectively,  to  interest  expense  on  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  The  Credit  Agreement, 
among other things, requires Tripadvisor to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio and contains certain customary 
affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.  

Tripadvisor amended the Credit Facility during 2020 to, among other things: suspend the leverage ratio covenant 
for quarterly testing of compliance beginning in the second quarter of 2020, replacing it with a minimum liquidity covenant 
through June 30, 2021 (requiring Tripadvisor to maintain $150 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments less deferred merchant payables plus available revolver capacity), until the earlier of (a) the first day 
after  June 30,  2021  through  maturity  on  which  borrowings  and  other  revolving  credit  utilizations  under  the  revolving 
commitments exceed $200 million, and (b) the election of Tripadvisor, at which time the leverage ratio covenant will be 
reinstated (the “Leverage Covenant Holiday”). 

On May 8, 2023, Tripadvisor declared a “Covenant Changeover Date” (as defined in the Credit Agreement as in 
effect prior to the amendment and restatement), thereby declaring Tripadvisor out of the Leverage Covenant Holiday and 
no longer subject to certain of the restrictive covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Following that, on June 29, 
2023, Tripadvisor amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the "Restated Credit Agreement") to, among other things, 
(i) extend  the  maturity  date  of  the  Credit  Facility  from  May 12,  2024  to  June 29,  2028  (unless,  on  any  date  that  is 91 
days prior to the final scheduled maturity date in respect of any indebtedness outstanding under certain “specified debt,” 
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such specified debt is $200 million or more, then the maturity date will be 
such business day); (ii) maintain the aggregate amount of revolving commitments available at $500 million; (iii) increase 
the total net leverage ratio from 3.5 to 1.0 to 4.5 to 1.0; and (iv) replace the London Inter-bank Offered Rate interest rate 
benchmark with a secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") interest rate benchmark. 

Tripadvisor may borrow from the Credit Facility in U.S. dollars, Euros and Sterling. Borrowings under the Credit 
Facility generally bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR 
rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing in U.S.dollars, the EURIBO rate for the interest period in effect for 
such borrowings in Euro and the Daily Simple SONIA rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowings in Sterling; 
plus,  in  each  case,  an  applicable  margin  ranging  from  1.75%  to  2.50%  (“Term  Benchmark/RFP  Spread”),  based  on 
Tripadvisor’s total net leverage ratio; or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), which is the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate 
in effect on such day, (b) the New York Fed Bank Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.00% per annum, and (c) the 
Adjusted Term SOFR for an interest period of one month as published two U.S. Government Securities Business Days 
prior  to  such  day  (or  if  such  day  is  not  a  U.S.  Government  Securities  Business  Day,  the  immediately  preceding  U.S. 
Government  Securities  Business  Day)  plus  1.00%  plus  an  applicable  margin  ranging  from  0.75%  to  1.50%,  based  on 
Tripadvisor’s  total  net  leverage  ratio.  In  addition,  Tripadvisor  is  required  to  pay  a  quarterly  commitment  fee,  at  an 
applicable rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.40%, on the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility for each fiscal quarter and 
in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor’s unused revolver capacity was 
subject to a commitment fee of 0.25%, given its total net leverage ratio.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

In connection with the Restated Credit Agreement, Tripadvisor incurred lender fees and other debt financing costs 
of approximately $3 million. These costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs in other long-term assets on the 
consolidated balance  sheet, while deferred  financing  costs  incurred  in previous  amendments, which were  immediately 
recognized to interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, were not material. As of December 31, 2023 
and 2022, Tripadvisor had $4 million and $2 million, respectively, remaining in deferred financing costs in connection 
with the Credit Facility. These costs will be amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility, using the effective 
interest rate method, and recorded to interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. 

There is no specific repayment date prior to the maturity date for any borrowings under the Credit Agreement. 
Tripadvisor may voluntarily repay any outstanding borrowing under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or 
penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to Term Benchmark loans. Additionally, Tripadvisor believes 
that the likelihood of the lender exercising any subjective acceleration rights, which would permit the lenders to accelerate 
repayment of any outstanding borrowings, is remote. As such, Tripadvisor intends to classify any future borrowings under 
this facility as long-term debt. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict 
Tripadvisor’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, engage in 
mergers or consolidations, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends and distributions, make investments, loans or advances, 
prepay certain subordinated indebtedness, make certain acquisitions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend 
material agreements governing certain subordinated indebtedness, and change its fiscal year. In addition, to secure the 
obligations under the Credit Agreement, Tripadvisor and certain subsidiaries have granted security interests and liens in 
and on, substantially all of their assets, as well as pledged shares of certain of Tripadvisor’s subsidiaries. If an event of 
default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration 
of all amounts due under the Credit Facility.  

Tripadvisor 2025 Senior Notes 

In 2020, Tripadvisor issued $500 million of outstanding aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior notes due 
2025  (the  "2025  Senior  Notes").  The  2025  Senior  Notes  are  governed  by  an  indenture,  dated  July 9,  2020  (the  “2025 
Indenture”), among Tripadvisor, the guarantors and the trustee. The 2025 Indenture provides, among other things, that 
interest will be payable on the 2025 Senior Notes semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, and continues 
until their maturity date of July 15, 2025. The 2025 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Tripadvisor and are 
unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis, by certain domestic subsidiaries. 

Tripadvisor has the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2025 Senior Notes at any time on or after July 15, 
2022 at the redemption prices set forth in the 2025 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain 
limitations, in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the 2025 Indenture), Tripadvisor will be 
required to make an offer to purchase the 2025 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount 
of the 2025 Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. These features 
have been evaluated as embedded derivatives under GAAP; however, Tripadvisor has concluded they do not meet the 
requirements to be accounted for separately. 

As of both December 31, 2023 and 2022, unpaid interest on the 2025 Senior Notes was $16 million and was 
included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and $35 million was recorded 
as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 
2021.  

  The  2025  Indenture  contains  covenants  that,  among  other  things  and  subject  to  certain  exceptions  and 
qualifications, restrict the ability of Tripadvisor and certain of its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness 
or issue disqualified stock or certain preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions or repurchase stock; make

certain investments; create or incur liens; sell assets; create restrictions affecting the ability of restricted subsidiaries to 
make  distributions,  loans  or  advances  or  transfer  assets  to  Tripadvisor  or  the  restricted  subsidiaries;  enter  into  certain 
transactions  with  Tripadvisor’s  affiliates;  designate  restricted  subsidiaries  as  unrestricted  subsidiaries;  and  merge, 
consolidate or transfer or sell all or substantially all of Tripadvisor’s assets. 

2026 Convertible Senior Notes 

In 2021, Tripadvisor issued $345 million in outstanding aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior 
notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Senior Notes”). Tripadvisor also entered into an indenture, dated March 25, 2021 
(the “2026 Indenture”), among Tripadvisor, the guarantors party thereto and the trustee. The terms of the 2026 Convertible 
Senior Notes are governed by the 2026 Indenture. The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unless 
earlier  converted,  redeemed  or  repurchased.  The  2026  Convertible  Senior  Notes  are  senior  unsecured  obligations  of 
Tripadvisor,  and  are  unconditionally  guaranteed  on  a  joint  and  several  basis,  by  certain  of  Tripadvisor’s  domestic 
subsidiaries, with interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. As of December 31, 
2023 and 2022, unpaid interest on the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes was not material. 

The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at Tripadvisor’s option at any time, 
and from time to time, on or after April 1, 2024 and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the 
maturity  date,  at  a  cash  redemption  price  equal  to  the  principal  amount  of  the  2026  Convertible  Senior  Notes  to  be 
redeemed,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest,  if  any,  but  only  if  the  last  reported  sale  price  per  share  of  Tripadvisor’s 
common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, 
during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date Tripadvisor 
sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date Tripadvisor sends such notice. In 
addition, calling any such note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that note, 
in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it 
is converted after it is called for redemption. 

The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the guarantors 
on a senior, unsecured basis. The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are Tripadvisor’s general senior unsecured obligations 
and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future senior indebtedness, and senior in right of payment 
to all of its future subordinated indebtedness. The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes will be effectively subordinated to any 
of Tripadvisor’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including borrowings under the Credit Facility, to the extent of 
the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. 

Holders may convert their 2026 Convertible Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business 
day immediately preceding January 1, 2026 in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following conditions 
and circumstances: 

• 

• 

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during 
such  calendar  quarter),  if  the  last  reported  sale  price  of TRIP  common  stock  for  at  least 20 trading  days 
(whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day 
of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on 
each applicable trading day; 

during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) 
in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for each trading 
day  of  the  measurement  period  was  less  than 98% of  the  product  of  the  last  reported  sale  price  of TRIP 
common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or 

F-48 

 
 
LIBERTY TRIPADVISOR HOLDINGS, INC. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

• 

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the 2026 Indenture. 

In addition, holders may convert their 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, 
at their option at any time beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled 
trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, without regard to the 
foregoing circumstances. 

The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes is 13.5483 shares of TRIP common stock per 
$1,000 principal  amount  of  2026  Convertible  Senior  Notes,  which  is  equivalent  to  an  initial  conversion  price  of 
approximately  $73.81 per  share  of  TRIP  common  stock,  or  approximately 4.7 million  shares  of  TRIP  common  stock, 
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the 2026 Indenture. Upon conversion, 
Tripadvisor may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of TRIP common stock or a combination of 
cash and shares of TRIP common stock. 

Tripadvisor accounts for the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes as a liability measured at its amortized cost, and no 
other features of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are bifurcated and recognized as a derivative. The proceeds from the 
issuance of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes were approximately $340 million, net of debt issuance costs of $5 million 
comprised primarily  of  the  initial  purchasers’  discount,  and  Tripadvisor  used  a portion of  the proceeds from  the 2026 
Convertible Senior Notes to enter into capped call transactions (discussed below). Tripadvisor intends to use the remainder 
of the proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt, including the 
partial redemption and/or purchase of its 2025 Senior Notes prior to maturity. The debt issuance costs are being amortized 
over the remaining term of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, using the effective interest rate method, and recorded to 
interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 
the effective interest rate on the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, including debt issuance costs, was approximately 0.40%, 
0.47%,  and  0.53%,  respectively,  and  $1  million  was  recorded  as  interest  expense  on  the  consolidated  statements  of 
operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 

The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and do not contain any financial covenants, restrictions on 
dividends, incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness, or restrictions on the issuance or repurchase of securities by 
the Company. 

Capped Call Transactions 

In  connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  2026  Convertible  Senior  Notes,  Tripadvisor  entered  into  privately 
negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2026 Convertible 
Senior Notes and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”) at a cost of 
approximately $35 million. The Capped Calls are separate transactions entered into by Tripadvisor with each of the Option 
Counterparties,  and  are  not  part  of  the  terms  of  the  2026  Convertible  Senior  Notes  and  therefore  will  not  affect  any 
noteholder’s rights under the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes. Noteholders will not have any rights with respect to the 
Capped Calls. 

The  Capped  Calls  cover,  subject  to  anti-dilution  adjustments,  substantially  similar  to  those  applicable  to  the 
conversion rate of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, the number of shares of TRIP common stock initially underlying 
the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, or up to approximately 4.7 million shares of TRIP common stock. The Capped Calls 
are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the TRIP common stock upon any conversion of 2026 Convertible 
Senior Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments Tripadvisor is required to make in excess of the principal amount 
of such converted 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. 
The strike price of the Capped Calls is $73.81 per share of TRIP common stock, while the cap price of the Capped Calls

LIBERTY TRIPADVISOR HOLDINGS, INC. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

will initially be $107.36 per share of TRIP common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the close price of 
TRIP common stock of $53.68 per share on March 22, 2021 and is subject to certain customary adjustments under the 
terms of the Capped Calls. 

The Capped Calls are considered indexed to Tripadvisor’s own stock and are considered equity classified under 
GAAP and included as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital and noncontrolling interest in equity of subsidiaries within 
stockholders’ equity as of both December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Capped Calls are not accounted for as derivatives and 
their fair value is not remeasured each reporting period. In addition, upon entering into the Capped Calls, Tripadvisor 
recorded an associated deferred tax asset of $9 million, as it made an income tax election allowable under Internal Revenue 
Service (“IRS”) regulations in order to recover the cost of the Capped Calls as interest expense for income tax purposes 
only over the term of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes. 

Fair Value 

The  estimated  fair  values,  based  on  recently  reported  market  transactions  and  prices  for  identical  or  similar 
financial instruments obtained from a third-party pricing source (Level 2) of Tripadvisor’s debt securities, not reported at 
fair value are as follows:

Debt Covenants 

As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor was in compliance with its debt covenants. 

(6) Leases 

Tripadvisor’s  lease  contracts  contain  both  lease  and  non-lease  components  which  Tripadvisor  combines  as  a 
single component under its accounting policy by asset class, except for office space leases and certain other leases, such 
as colocation data center leases, which it accounts separately for the lease and non-lease components. Additionally, for 
certain equipment leases that have similar characteristics, Tripadvisor applies a portfolio approach to effectively account 
for operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities.

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

Operating Leases 

Tripadvisor leases office space in a number of countries around the world generally under non-cancelable lease 
agreements. Tripadvisor’s office space leases, exclusive of its corporate headquarters, are operating leases. Operating lease 
ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, or the date the lessor makes the leased asset 
available  for  use,  based  on  the  present  value  of  the  lease  payments  over  the  lease  term  using  Tripadvisor’s  estimated 
incremental borrowing rate.  

Tripadvisor’s office space operating leases expire at various dates with the latest maturity in October 2034. These 
leases generally include options to extend the lease term for up to approximately 5 years and/or terminate the leases within 
1 year, which Tripadvisor includes in the lease terms if it is reasonably certain to exercise these options.  

Tripadvisor also establishes assets and liabilities at the present value of estimated future costs to return certain of 
its leased facilities to their original condition to satisfy any asset retirement obligations. Such assets are depreciated over 
the  lease  period  into  operating  expense,  and  the  recorded  liabilities  are  accreted  to  the  future  value  of  the  estimated 
restoration  costs  and  are  included  in  other  liabilities  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet.  Tripadvisor’s  asset  retirement 
obligations were not material as of both December 31, 2023 and 2022. 

Finance Lease 

Finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date or the date 
the lessor makes the leased asset available for use. Finance lease ROU assets are generally amortized on a straight-line 
basis over the lease term, and the carrying amount of the finance lease liabilities are (1) accreted to reflect interest using 
the incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, and (2) reduced to reflect lease 
payments made during the period. Amortization expense for finance lease ROU assets and interest accretion on finance 
lease liabilities are recorded to depreciation and interest expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. 

Tripadvisor leases approximately 280,000 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters in Needham, 
Massachusetts.  This  lease  has  an  expiration  date  of  December 2030,  with  an  option  to  extend  the  lease  term  for  two 
consecutive terms of five years each, and is accounted for as a finance lease.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

During 2023, the Company recognized tax expense instead of a benefit at the expected federal tax rate of 21% 
primarily due to goodwill impairments that are not deductible for tax purposes and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. 

During 2022, the Company recognized tax expense greater than the expected federal tax rate of 21% primarily 
due  to  changes  in  unrecognized  tax  benefits  and  the  recognition  of  excess  tax  benefits  and  shortfalls  to  stock  based 
compensation. 

During 2021, the Company recognized a tax benefit related to unrealized gains attributable to the Company’s 
own stock which is not recognized for tax purposes and the recognition of deferred tax assets for basis differences in the 
stock of a consolidated subsidiary, partially offset by tax expense related to an increase in the valuation allowance against 
certain deferred tax assets. 

The CARES Act allowed Tripadvisor to carryback Tripadvisor’s U.S. federal NOLs incurred in 2020, generating 
an expected U.S. federal tax benefit of $76 million, of which $64 million was refunded during the year ended December 31, 
2022 ($15 million of this refund was recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 
2023, reflecting future transition tax payments to be made by Tripadvisor related to the 2017 Tax Act). The remaining 
refund of $12 million is included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of 
December 31, 2023 and 2022, and is expected to be received during the year ended December 31, 2024.  

In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Tripadvisor recognized government grants and 
other assistance benefits of $12 million and $9 million, respectively.  No material amount was recognized for the year 
ended December 31, 2023 related to government grants or other assistance benefits. These amounts are not income tax 
related and were recorded as a reduction of personnel and overhead costs within operating expenses in the consolidated 
statements of operations. Tripadvisor does not expect any additional future benefits of this nature.  

The tax effects of temporary differences and tax attributes that give rise to significant portions of the deferred 

income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented below:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

As of December 31, 2023, we had a valuation allowance of approximately $127 million related to certain federal 
and state NOL carryforwards, interest expense carryforwards and other foreign deferred tax assets for which it is more 
likely than not, the tax benefit will not be realized. This amount represents an increase of $4 million, as compared to the 
balance as of December 31, 2022. 

Due to the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and 
profits in 2017, as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, the majority of previously unremitted earnings have been subjected to U.S. 
federal income tax. To the extent future distributions from these subsidiaries will be taxable, a deferred tax liability has 
been accrued which was not material as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, $483 million of Tripadvisor’s 
cumulative undistributed foreign earnings were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested.   

At December 31, 2023, the Company has a deferred tax asset of $182 million for federal, state, and foreign NOLs, 
interest expense carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards.  Of this amount, $138 million is recorded at Tripadvisor. If 
not utilized to reduce income tax liabilities at Tripadvisor in future periods, $19 million of these loss carryforwards and 
tax  credits  will  begin  to  expire  at  various  times  beginning  with  2024.  The  remaining  $119  million  of  NOLs,  interest 
expense carryforwards and tax credits recorded at Tripadvisor may be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining deferred 
tax asset of $44 million relates to federal and state NOL carryforwards and interest expense carryforwards recorded at 
TripCo. If not utilized to reduce income tax liabilities at TripCo in future periods, $17 million of these NOL carryforwards 
will  expire  at  various  times  between  2024  and  2037.  The  remaining  $27  million  of  NOLs  and  interest  expense 
carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely. A portion of TripCo’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to 
certain limitations and may not be currently utilized. These carryforwards recorded at Tripadvisor and TripCo are expected 
to  be  utilized  prior  to  expiration,  except  for  $127  million  of  NOLs,  interest  expense  carryforwards,  and  tax  credit 
carryforwards, which based on current projections may expire unused.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had recorded $153 million of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of 
interest, which are primarily included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. If the unrecognized tax benefits 
were to be recognized for financial statement purposes, approximately $114 million would be reflected in the Company’s 
tax expense and affect its effective tax rate. The Company’s estimate of its unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain 
tax positions requires a high degree of judgment.  

As  of  December 31,  2023,  the  Company  had  accrued  gross  interest  related  to  uncertain  tax  positions  of 
approximately $50 million, $45 million of which was recorded as unrecognized tax benefits within other liabilities and $5

million of which was recorded to income taxes receivable within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of 
December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued gross interest related to uncertain tax positions of $47 million, which was 
recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. 

As of December 31, 2023, TripCo’s tax years prior to 2020 are closed for federal income tax purposes. TripCo’s  
2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 tax years are not under IRS examination. Because TripCo’s ownership of Tripadvisor is less 
than the required 80%, Tripadvisor does not consolidate with TripCo for federal income tax purposes. 

On December 20, 2011, Expedia completed a spin-off of Tripadvisor into a separate publicly traded Delaware 
corporation  (the  “Spin-Off”).  For  purposes  of  governing  certain  of  the  ongoing  relationships  between Tripadvisor  and 
Expedia at and after the Spin-Off, and to provide for an orderly transition, Tripadvisor and Expedia entered into various 
agreements at the time of the Spin-Off, which Tripadvisor has satisfied its obligations. However, Tripadvisor continues to 
be  subject  to  certain  post  Spin-Off  obligations  under  the  Tax  Sharing Agreement.  Under  the  Tax  Sharing Agreement 
between Tripadvisor and Expedia, Tripadvisor is generally required to indemnify Expedia for any taxes resulting from the 
Spin-Off (and any related interest, penalties, legal and professional fees, and all costs and damages associated with related 
stockholder litigation or controversies) to the extent such amounts resulted from (i) any act or failure to act by Tripadvisor 
described in the covenants in the tax sharing agreement, (ii) any acquisition of Tripadvisor equity securities or assets or 
those of a member of the Tripadvisor group, or (iii) any failure of the representations with respect to Tripadvisor or any 
member of its group to be true or any breach by Tripadvisor or any member of the Tripadvisor group of any covenant, in 
each case, which is contained in the separation documents or in the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling 
and/or the opinion of counsel.  

Tripadvisor is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2014 through 2016 and 2018 tax years and has 
various ongoing audits for foreign and state income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding review of the 
timing  and  amount  of  income  and  deductions  and  the  allocation  of  income  among  various  tax  jurisdictions.  These 
examinations may lead to proposed or ordinary course adjustments to Tripadvisor’s taxes. Tripadvisor is no longer subject 
to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2014. As of December 31, 2023, no material assessments have 
resulted, except as noted below regarding Tripadvisor’s 2009, 2010, and 2011 IRS audit with Expedia, its 2014 through 
2016 standalone IRS audit, and its 2012 through 2016 HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) audit.  

As  disclosed  in  previous  filings,  including  in  the  Annual  Report  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2022, 
Tripadvisor  received  Notices  of  Proposed Adjustments  ("NOPA")  in  January 2017  and April 2019  from  the  IRS  with 
respect to income tax returns filed by Expedia when Tripadvisor was part of Expedia Group’s consolidated income tax 
return for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 tax years. The assessment was related to certain transfer pricing arrangements with 
foreign  subsidiaries,  for  which Tripadvisor  had  requested  competent  authority  assistance  under  the  Mutual Agreement 
Procedure (“MAP”) for the 2009 through 2011 tax years. In January 2023, Tripadvisor received a final notice from the 
IRS regarding a MAP settlement for the 2009 through 2011 tax years, which it accepted in February 2023. In the first 
quarter of 2023, Tripadvisor recorded additional income tax expense as a discrete item, inclusive of interest, of $31 million 
specifically related to this settlement. During the first quarter of 2023, Tripadvisor reviewed the impact of the acceptance 
of this settlement position against its existing transfer pricing income tax reserves for the subsequent tax years, which 
resulted  in  incremental  income  tax  expense,  inclusive  of  estimated  interest,  of  $24  million. The  total  impact  of  these 
adjustments resulted in an incremental income tax expense of $55 million, which was recognized during the three months 
ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Tripadvisor made a U.S. federal tax payment of 
$113 million, inclusive of interest, to Expedia related to this IRS audit settlement, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement 
with Expedia. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, Tripadvisor received the expected competent authority 
refund of $49 million, inclusive of interest income. Tripadvisor anticipates the federal tax benefits, net of remaining state 
tax  payments  due,  associated  with  this  IRS  audit  settlement  will  be  substantially  settled  during  2024,  resulting  in  an 
estimated net cash inflow of $5 million to $10 million.

Separately, during August 2020, Tripadvisor received a NOPA from the IRS for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 tax 
years. These proposed adjustments pertain to certain transfer pricing arrangements with Tripadvisor’s foreign subsidiaries. 
Tripadvisor disagrees with the proposed adjustments, and intends to defend its position through applicable administrative 
and, if necessary, judicial remedies. In addition to the risk of additional tax for the years discussed above, if the IRS were 
to seek transfer pricing adjustments of a similar nature for transactions in subsequent years, Tripadvisor may be subject to 
significant additional tax liabilities. Tripadvisor has previously requested competent authority assistance under MAP for 
the tax years 2014 through 2016. Tripadvisor reviewed its transfer pricing reserves as of December 31, 2023 and, based 
on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the reporting date, consider them to be the Company’s best estimate as of 
December 31,  2023.  In  January 2024,  Tripadvisor  received  notification  of  a  MAP  resolution  agreement  for  the  2014 
through 2016 tax years, which Tripadvisor accepted in February 2024.  Tripadvisor anticipates this will result in an increase 
to Tripadvisor’s worldwide income tax expense in an estimated range of $30 million to $60 million in the first quarter of 
2024 and will result in an estimated net operating cash outflow of $80 million to $130 million during 2024. These estimated 
ranges  take  into  consideration  competent  authority  relief,  existing  income  tax  reserves,  transition  tax  regulations  and 
estimated interest expense. This MAP resolution supersedes the NOPA previously received for 2014 through 2016 from 
the IRS, described above. Tripadvisor will review the impact of this resolution in relation to its transfer pricing income tax 
reserves  for  the  subsequent  open  tax  years  during  the  first  quarter  of  2024.  Based  on  this  new  information  received 
subsequent to December 31, 2023, adjustments for open tax years subsequent to 2016 may also occur, which could be 
material. 

As  of  December 31,  2022,  Tripadvisor  had  recorded  $204  million  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits,  inclusive  of 
interest, classified as other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result of Tripadvisor's acceptance 
of MAP with the IRS for the tax years 2009 through 2011, and its impact on other ongoing IRS audits, as described above, 
during the first quarter of 2023, Tripadvisor reduced this unrecognized tax benefits liability by $59 million, reclassifying 
this balance to accrued liabilites and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, which was subsequently 
paid during 2023. Tripadvisor also reduced long-term income taxes receivable by $45 million, representing its estimate of 
competent authority relief, or payment due from a foreign jurisdiction, which was received during the third quarter of 
2023,  as  noted  above,  and  previously  recorded  to  other  long-term  assets  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  as  of 
December 31, 2022. 

In  January 2021,  Tripadvisor  received  from  HMRC  an  issue  closure  notice  relating  to  adjustments  for  2012 
through 2016 tax years. These proposed adjustments are related to certain transfer pricing arrangements with Tripadvisor’s 
foreign subsidiaries and would result in an increase to its worldwide income tax expense in an estimated range of $25 
million to $35 million, exclusive of interest expense, at the close of the audit if HMRC prevails. Tripadvisor disagrees with 
the proposed adjustments and intends to defend its position through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial 
remedies. Tripadvisor’s policy is to review and update tax reserves as facts and circumstances change. 

(8) Redeemable Preferred Stock 

On  March 15,  2020,  TripCo  and  Gregory  B.  Maffei  entered  into  an  investment  agreement  (the  “Investment 
Agreement”) with Certares Holdings LLC, Certares Holdings (Blockable) LLC and Certares Holdings (Optional) LLC 
with respect to an investment in TripCo’s Series A Preferred Stock, which was later assigned to Certares LTRIP LLC 
(“Certares”  or  the  “Purchaser”).  Pursuant  to  the  assigned  Investment  Agreement, on  March 26,  2020,  TripCo 
issued 325,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Certares for a purchase price of $1,000 per share.  

On  March 22,  2021,  TripCo  and  Certares  entered  into  a  stock  repurchase  agreement (the  “Repurchase 
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, on March 29, 2021, TripCo repurchased 126,921 shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock, and on April 6, 2021, TripCo repurchased an additional 10,665 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from 
Certares. The aggregate consideration for the Series A Preferred Stock consisted of a combination of (i) approximately

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

$281 million in cash from a portion of the net proceeds of the Debentures (as discussed in note 5), $252 million of which 
was  paid  on  March 29,  2021  and  $29 million  of  which  was  paid  on April 6,  2021,  and  (ii) approximately  $92 million 
aggregate value of TRIP common stock, owned by TripCo, consisting of 1,713,859 shares (a non-cash transaction).  The 
price per share of Series A Preferred Stock was determined by multiplying (a) $1,000 by (b) an accretion factor with respect 
to the TRIP common stock (determined based on the Accretion Factor formula set forth in the Certificate of Designations 
of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) as modified to use the closing price of a share of TRIP 
common stock on the date of the pricing of the Debentures instead of using the Reference Stock VWAP (as defined in the 
Certificate  of  Designations)).  Following  both  closings  under  the  Repurchase Agreement,  TripCo  repurchased  a  total 
of 137,586 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from Certares, representing 42% of the Series A Preferred Stock originally 
held by Certares, for an aggregate value of approximately $373 million. 

There were 187,414 shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding at December 31, 2023 

and December 31, 2022. 

Priority 

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of TripCo common stock, with respect to dividend rights, 
rights of redemption and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up of the affairs of TripCo. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation value equal to the sum of (i) $1,000, 
plus (ii) all unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) accrued with respect to such share. 

Voting and Convertibility 

   Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting powers, except as otherwise specified in the 
Certificate of Designations or as required by Delaware law. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into 
TripCo common stock. 

Dividends 

   Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock accrue on a daily basis at a rate of 8.00% of the liquidation 
value and are payable annually, commencing after March 26, 2020. Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock 
may be paid, at TripCo’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s Series A common stock (“LTRPA”), or, at the election 
of the Purchaser, shares of the Company’s Series C common stock (“LTRPK”), provided, in each case, such shares are 
listed on a national securities exchange and are actively traded (such LTRPK shares, together with the LTRPA shares, the 
“Eligible Common Stock”), or a combination of cash and Eligible Common Stock. If a dividend is not declared and paid 
on the dividend payment date, the dividend amount will be added to the then-applicable liquidation price of the Series A 
Preferred Stock. 

Redemption 

The  Company  is  required  to  redeem for  cash  shares of Series  A  Preferred  Stock  on  the  earlier of (i) the  first 
business day after the fifth anniversary of March 26, 2020, or  (ii) subject to certain exceptions, a change in control of 
TripCo. The “Redemption Price” in a mandatory redemption will equal the greater of (i) the sum of the liquidation value 
on the redemption date, plus all unpaid dividends accrued since the last dividend date, and (ii) the product of the (x) initial 
liquidation  value,  multiplied  by  (y) an  accretion  factor  (determined  based  on  a  formula  set  forth  in  the  Certificate  of 
Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock) with respect to the TRIP common stock, less (z) the aggregate amount of 
all dividends paid in cash or shares of Eligible Common Stock from March 26, 2020 through the applicable redemption 
date.

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

Put Right 

Following March 26, 2021, during certain periods, the Purchaser had the right to cause TripCo to redeem all of 
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price for, at the election of TripCo, cash, shares of 
Eligible Common Stock, shares of TRIP common stock or any combination of the foregoing, subject to certain limitations 
(the “Put Option”). The Company evaluated the Put Option as an embedded derivative and determined it was not required 
to be bifurcated.  As a result of the Repurchase Agreement, Certares has permanently waived the Put Option. 

TripCo Call Right 

Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, beginning March 27, 2024, TripCo has the option, from time to time, to 
call and repurchase any and all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the optional repurchase price 
(the "Call Right"), which is the greater of (x) the sum of the liquidation value of a share of Series A Preferred Stock as of 
the optional repurchase date plus all unpaid dividends accrued on such share from the most recent dividend payment date 
through such optional repurchase date and (y) (i) the initial liquidation value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock as 
of the original issue date multiplied by an accretion factor with respect to the TRIP common stock (determined based on 
the Accretion Factor formula set forth in the Certificate of Designations as modified such that the Reference Stock VWAP 
is determined as of the date that is two business days prior to the date of TripCo’s notice of repurchase) minus (ii) all 
dividends paid in cash or shares of Eligible Common Stock on such share through the optional repurchase date. 

Restriction on transfer of Series A Preferred Stock 

Subject to exceptions contained in the Investment Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement, the shares of Series 
A Preferred Stock generally are non-transferable; provided that TripCo has agreed not to unreasonably withhold its consent 
to certain transfers of up to 49% of the remaining Series A Preferred Shares outstanding following the repurchases from 
Certares under the Repurchase Agreement (so long as there are no more than six holders of the Series A Preferred Stock 
at any one time). Any transferee of shares of Series A Preferred Stock must agree to the permanent waiver of the Put 
Option, to the permanent waiver of the right to appoint the Series A Preferred Threshold Director (as such term is defined 
in the Certificate of Designations and described in the Repurchase Agreement) and to the Call Right. 

Recognition 

Prior to the partial redemption, as the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable and the redemption triggers were 
outside of TripCo’s control, the Company was required to classify the shares outside of permanent equity.  The Company 
calculated the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Redemption Price calculation, and any changes 
in the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock were recorded directly to retained earnings. Immediately prior to the 
partial redemption, the Company recognized a $410 million decrease to retained earnings related to the value of the Series 
A Preferred Stock. As a result of the Repurchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock may no longer be settled in 
shares of TripCo or TRIP common stock and the Purchaser no longer has the ability to participate on the TripCo board of 
directors (the “Board of Directors”) purely through ownership of Series A Preferred Stock. Following an evaluation of the 
accounting impact of these changes, we concluded the Series A Preferred Stock is a debt host with an equity-indexed 
derivative that is required to be bifurcated. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock was required to be measured at fair 
value, through retained earnings, in connection with the reclassification from temporary equity to a liability.  The fair value 
of the Series A Preferred Stock was estimated to be $40 million lower than its redemption value and such amount was 
recorded  as  an  increase  to  retained  earnings  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2021.  The  debt  host  component  is 
included in the preferred stock liability on the consolidated balance sheet and will be accreted through interest expense to 
the amount to be paid upon settlement. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the debt host component was

$238 million, based on the present value of the liquidation price on the redemption date (Level 2). The Preferred Stock 
Derivative is included in financial instrument liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. 

(9)  Stockholders’ Equity 

Preferred Stock 

TripCo’s preferred stock is issuable, from time to time, with such powers, designations, preferences and relative, 
participating, optional or other rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions therefor, as shall be stated and expressed 
in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such preferred stock adopted by TripCo’s Board of Directors. See 
note 8 for a description of TripCo’s Series A Preferred Stock. 

Common Stock 

LTRPA entitles the holders to one vote per share, Series B common stock (“LTRPB”) entitles the holders to ten 
votes per share and LTRPK, except as otherwise required by applicable law, entitles the holder to no voting rights.  All 
series of TripCo common stock participate on an equal basis with respect to dividends and distributions. 

Subsidiary Purchases of Common Stock 

On November 1, 2019, Tripadvisor’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million 
in  shares  of  its  common  stock  under  an  existing  share  repurchase  program,  which  increased  the  amount  available  to 
Tripadvisor under this share repurchase program to $250 million.  As of December 31, 2022, Tripadvisor had $75 million 
remaining under this existing share repurchase program to repurchase shares of its common stock. During the three months 
ended June 30, 2023, Tripadvisor repurchased 4,724,729 shares of its outstanding common stock at an average share price 
of $15.85 per share, exclusive of fees and commissions, or $75 million in the aggregate, which completed Tripadvisor’s 
existing share repurchase program. There were no repurchases during 2022 and 2021.  

On September 7, 2023, Tripadvisor’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of $250 million in shares of its 
common stock under a new share repurchase program. This new share repurchase program, which has a term of two years, 
does not obligate Tripadvisor to acquire any particular number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued 
at  any  time.  During  2023,  following  the  authorization,  Tripadvisor  repurchased  1,324,524  shares  of  their  outstanding 
common stock at an average price of $18.85 per share, exclusive of fees, commissions, and excise taxes, or $25 million, 
under  this  share  repurchase  program. As  of  December 31,  2023, Tripadvisor  had  $225  million  remaining  available  to 
repurchase shares of their common stock under this share repurchase program. 

Subsidiary Dividends 

Any determination by Tripadvisor to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of Tripadvisor’s board 
of  directors  and  will  depend  on  its  results  of  operations,  earnings,  capital  requirements,  financial  condition,  future 
prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by Tripadvisor’s board of directors. Tripadvisor’s 
ability to pay dividends is also limited by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the 2025 Indenture.

(10)  Stock-Based Compensation 

TripCo – Incentive Plans 

TripCo  has  granted  Awards  to  certain  of  its  directors  and  employees.  TripCo  measures  the  cost  of  employee 
services received in exchange for an equity classified Award based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the Award, 
and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting 
period of the Award).  The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified 
Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and re-measures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. 

Pursuant  to  the  Liberty  TripAdvisor  Holdings,  Inc.  2019  Omnibus  Incentive  Plan,  the  Company  may  grant 
Awards in respect of a maximum of 5.0 million shares of TripCo common stock.  Awards generally vest over 1 - 5 years 
and have a term of 7 - 10 years.  TripCo issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards. 

TripCo – Grants 

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, TripCo granted 175 thousand, 367 thousand and 154 
thousand performance-based RSUs, respectively, of LTRPB to our CEO. The performance-based RSUs had a GDFV of 
$1.04, $2.04 and $7.07 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted.  During the year ended December 31, 2023, 
TripCo also granted a cash award equal to $656,250 to our CEO, and together with the performance-based RSUs, satisfied 
the annual grant pursuant to which he was entitled under his employment agreement. The performance-based RSUs and 
the cash award cliff vest one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives. 
Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation 
expense  recognized.  When  the  satisfaction  of  the  performance  objectives  becomes  probable,  the  Company  records 
compensation expense. The probability of satisfying the performance objectives is assessed at the end of each reporting 
period.  

During the year ended December 31, 2021, TripCo granted to its employees 47 thousand options to purchase 
shares of LTRPA.  Such options had a weighted average GDFV of $3.25 per share and vest between two and three years. 
During the year ended December 31, 2021, TripCo granted 8 thousand time-based RSUs of LTRPA to its employees. Such 
time-based  RSUs  had  a  weighted  average  GDFV  of  $6.73  per  share  and  vested  50%  in  March 2023  and  vest  50%  in 
March 2024.  During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, TripCo granted 31 thousand, 177 thousand and 
72  thousand  performance-based  RSUs, respectively, of  LTRPA  to  its  employees.  The  performance-based  RSUs  had  a 
weighted average GDFV of $0.99, $1.94 and $6.73 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted. Also, during the 
year ended December 31, 2023, TripCo granted cash awards equal to $329,236 to its employees. The performance-based 
RSUs  and  cash  awards  generally  cliff  vest  one  year  from  the  month  of  grant,  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  certain 
performance objectives. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, TripCo granted 26 thousand options to purchase shares of LTRPA to 
its non-employee directors.  Such options had a weighted average GDFV of $2.90 per share, and generally cliff vest over 
a one year vesting period.  Also during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, TripCo granted 293 thousand and 
154  thousand  time-based  RSUs, respectively, of  LTRPA  to  its  non-employee directors which  had  a  weighted  average 
GDFV of  $0.70 per share and $2.53 per share, respectively, and generally cliff vest over a one year vesting period. 

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards and any subsequent re-measurement 
of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton model.  The Company estimates the expected term of the 
Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data.  For grants made in 2021, the range of expected terms was 4.9 
years to 5.0 years.  The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of TripCo common

stock.  For grants made in 2021, the range of volatilities was 82.1% to 86.8%. There were no options granted in 2023 and 
2022. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the 
subject options.

Tripadvisor – Equity Grant Awards  

On June 21, 2018, Tripadvisor’s stockholders approved the 2018 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the “2018 
Plan”) primarily for the purpose of providing sufficient reserves of shares of Tripadvisor’s common stock to ensure its 
ability to continue to provide new hires, employees and management with equity incentives. The number of shares reserved 
and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 6,000,000 plus the number of shares available for issuance (and not 
subject to outstanding awards) under the Amended and Restated 2011 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), 
as of the effective date of the 2018 Plan and no additional awards will be granted under the 2011 Plan.  The 2018 Plan 
provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock-based awards to 
Tripadvisor’s  directors,  officers,  employees  and  consultants.  On  June 8,  2021,  Tripadvisor  stockholders  approved  an 
amendment to the 2018 Plan to, among other things, increase the aggregate number of shares reserved and available for 
issuance under the 2018 Plan by 10,000,000 shares. The purpose of this amendment was to provide sufficient reserves of 
shares of TRIP to ensure its ability to continue to provide new hires, employees and management with equity incentives. 

On June 6, 2023, Tripadvisor’s stockholders approved the TripAdvisor, Inc. 2023 Stock and Annual Incentive 
Plan (the “2023 Plan”) primarily for the purpose of providing sufficient reserves of shares of our common stock to ensure 
our  ability  to  continue  to  provide  new  hires,  employees,  and  other  participants  with  equity  incentives. The  2023  Plan 
provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock-based awards. 

Grants were valued using a volatility of 53.4% and the applicable risk free rate for an expected term of 5.2 years 
for the year ended December 31, 2023, volatility of 51.6% and the applicable risk free rate for an expected term of 5.4 
years for the year ended December 31, 2022 and a volatility of 49.6% and the applicable risk free rate for an expected term 
of 5.5 years for the year ended December 31, 2021. 

Performance-based  stock  options  and  RSUs  vest  upon  achievement  of  certain  Tripadvisor  company-based 
performance conditions and a requisite service period. On the date of grant, the fair value of stock options is calculated 
using a Black-Scholes-Merton model, which incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards, including the risk-
free rate of return, expected volatility, expected term and expected dividend yield. If, upon grant, Tripadvisor assesses the 
achievement  of  performance  targets  as  probable,  compensation  expense  is  recorded  for  the  awards  over  the  estimated 
performance period on a straight-line basis. At each reporting period, the probability of achieving the performance targets 
and the performance period required to meet those targets is assessed. To the extent actual results or updated estimates 
differ from Tripadvisor’s estimates, the cumulative effect on current and prior periods of those changes will be recorded 
in  the  period  estimates  are  revised,  or  the  change  in  estimate  will  be  applied  prospectively  depending  on  whether  the 
change  affects  the  estimate  of  total  compensation  cost  to  be  recognized  or  merely  affects  the  period  over  which 
compensation cost is to be recognized.

The weighted average GDFV of service based stock options under their 2011 Plan and 2018 Plan was $10.18 for 
the year ended December 31, 2023. These stock options generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant and 
typically  vest  equally  over  a  four  year  requisite  service  period.  As  of  December 31,  2023,  the  total  number  of  shares 
reserved  for  future  stock-based  awards  under  the  2018  Plan  was  approximately  19  million  shares.  Tripadvisor  related 
stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $96 million.  

Restricted Stock Units and Market-based Restricted Stock Units 

RSUs are stock awards that are granted to employees entitling the holder to shares of TRIP as the award vests. 
RSUs are measured at fair value based on the quoted price of TRIP at the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is amortized 
as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term on a straight-line basis, with the amount of compensation 
expense recognized at any date at least equaling the portion of the GDFV of the award that is vested at that date. 

Tripadvisor issues market-based performance restricted stock units (“MSUs”), which vest upon achievement of 
specified levels of market conditions. The fair value of the MSUs is estimated at the date of grant using a Monte-Carlo 
simulation model. The probabilities of the actual number of market-based performance units expected to vest and resultant 
actual  number  of  shares  of  TRIP  expected  to  be  awarded  are  reflected  in  the  grant  date  fair  values;  therefore,  the 
compensation expense for these awards will be recognized assuming the requisite service period is rendered and are not 
adjusted based on the actual number of awards that ultimately vest.  

Tripadvisor also issues a limited amount of performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”). The estimated GDFV per PSU 
was measured based on the quoted price of TRIP common stock at the date of the grant, calculated upon the establishment 
of performance targets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.  

During  the  year  ended  December 31,  2023,  Tripadvisor  granted  approximately  9 million  units,  vested  and 
released approximately 4 million units, and had cancellations of approximately 1 million units, which included primarily 
service-based RSUs, PSUs and market-based MSUs under the 2018 Plan. The weighted average GDFV for RSUs, PSUs 
and MSUs granted, vested and released, and cancelled during 2023 was $20.63 per share, $29.62 per share, and $24.87 
per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there were 13 million unvested Tripadvisor RSUs, PSUs and MSUs 
outstanding.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 

As  of  December 31,  2023,  total  unrecognized  compensation  cost  related  to  stock-based  awards,  substantially 

RSUs, was approximately $241 million which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. 

(11)  Employee Benefit Plans 

Tripadvisor sponsors a 401(k) plan and makes matching contributions to the plans based on a percentage of the 
amount contributed by employees. Employer cash contributions related to Tripadvisor were $12 million, $11 million and 
$10 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

(12)  Commitments and Contingencies 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

TripCo did not have any other significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to 
have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures 
or capital resources. 

Litigation 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings and claims 
arising out of our operations. These matters may relate to claims involving patent and intellectual property rights (including 
privacy,  alleged  infringement  of  third-party  intellectual  property  rights),  tax  matters  (including  value-added,  excise, 
transient occupancy  and  accommodation  taxes),  regulatory  compliance (including  competition  and consumer matters), 
defamation and other claims. Although it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur losses upon conclusion of 
such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that 
amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements. 

Tripadvisor Restructuring  

During  the  third  quarter  of  2023,  Tripadvisor  approved  and  subsequently  initiated  a  set  of  actions  across  its 
businesses in order to reduce its cost structure, improve operational efficiencies, and realign its workforce with its strategic 
initiatives. These actions taken by the Company resulted in reduced global headcount. Additional cost reduction measures 
taken included discretionary spend and real estate. As a result, Tripadvisor incurred estimated pre-tax restructuring and 
other related reorganization costs of $22 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, which consisted primarily of 
employee severance and related benefits. Potential job position eliminations in each country are subject to local law and 
consultation requirements, which will extend beyond 2023 in certain countries. Therefore, actual costs incurred may differ 
from estimated costs recorded as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, Tripadvisor had paid $9 million of 
these costs, and expects the majority of remaining unpaid costs as of December 31, 2023, will be disbursed during the first 
quarter of 2024.  

At this time, Tripadvisor anticipates these cost reduction actions to result in an estimated $35 million in annualized 
cost  savings  in  the  Brand  Tripadvisor  segment,  which  includes  corporate  general  and  administrative.  In  addition, 
Tripadvisor estimates $10 million in annualized cost savings in TheFork segment, primarily related to these targeted global 
workforce reduction measures.  However,  these  cost  reduction  measures  did not  materially  impact Tripadvisor’s  actual 
segment expenses during 2023, and therefore its consolidated expenses, during the year ended December 31, 2023, due to 
the timing of these actions.

(13)  Segment Information 

TripCo, through its ownership interests in Tripadvisor, is primarily engaged in the online commerce industries. 
TripCo  identifies  its  reportable  segments  based  on  how  our  chief  operating  decision  maker  (“CODM”)  manages  our 
business, regularly accesses information, and evaluates performance for operating decision-making purposes, including 
allocation of resources. 

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: 

•  Brand  Tripadvisor  (formerly  Tripadvisor  Core) –  This  segment  includes  Tripadvisor-branded  hotels  revenue, 
which consists of hotel meta revenue, primarily click-based advertising revenue, and hotel B2B revenue, which 
includes  primarily  subscription-based  advertising  and  hotel  sponsored  placements  revenue;  Media  and 
advertising revenue, which consists primarily of display-based advertising revenue; Tripadvisor experiences and 
dining  revenue,  which  consists  of  intercompany  (intersegment)  revenue  related  to  affiliate  marketing 
commissions  earned  from  experience  bookings,  and  to  a  lesser  extent,  restaurant  reservation  bookings  on 
Tripadvisor-branded  websites  and  mobile  apps,  fulfilled  by  Viator  and  TheFork,  respectively,  which  are 
eliminated  on  a  consolidated  basis,  in  addition  to  external  revenue  generated  from  Tripadvisor  restaurant 
offerings; as well as other revenue, which consists of cruises, alternative accommodation rentals, flights and rental 
car revenue.  

•  Viator – Tripadvisor provides information and services for consumers to research and book tours, activities and 

experiences in popular travel destinations through Viator. 

•  TheFork –  Tripadvisor  provides  information  and  services  for  consumers  to  research  and  book  restaurants  in 

popular travel destinations through this dedicated restaurant reservations offering. 

The  segment  disclosure  includes  intersegment  revenue,  which  consist  of  affiliate  marketing  fees  for  services 
provided by the Brand Tripadvisor segment to both the Viator and TheFork segments. These intersegment transactions are 
recorded by each segment at amounts that approximate fair value as if the transactions were between third parties, and 
therefore, impact segment performance. However, the revenue and corresponding expense are eliminated in consolidation. 
The elimination of such intersegment transactions is included within Corporate and eliminations in the tables below. 

Performance Measures 

For segment reporting purposes, TripCo defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, 
general  and  administrative  expenses  (excluding  stock - based  compensation),  adjusted  for  specifically  identified  non-
recurring transactions. TripCo believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance 
of its businesses, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative 
of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results, and perform analytical 
comparisons  and  benchmarking  between  businesses  and  identify  strategies  to  improve  performance.  This  measure  of 
performance  excludes  depreciation  and  amortization,  equity  settled  liabilities  (including  stock - based  compensation), 
separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement 
of operating income pursuant to GAAP.  Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a 
substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial 
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. TripCo generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the 
sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

In addition, we do not report assets, capital expenditures and related depreciation expense by segment as our 
CODM does not use this information to evaluate operating segments.  Accordingly, we do not regularly provide such 
information by segment to our CODM.

(1)  Tripadvisor expensed $3 million of previously capitalized transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 

2023 to selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation on the consolidated statement 
of operations. Tripadvisor considers such costs to be non-recurring in nature. 

(2)  Tripadvisor incurred a loss of approximately $8 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, as the result of 

external fraud, which was recorded to selling, general and administrative, including stock-based compensation 
on the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. Tripadvisor considers 
such costs to be non-recurring in nature. To the extent Tripadvisor recovers any losses in future periods related 
to this incident, Tripadvisor plans to reduce Adjusted OIBDA by the recovery amount in those periods.
