LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934

in respect of

TRIPADVISOR, INC.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

This Report on Schedule 13D/A relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of TripAdvisor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The Report on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission by Liberty Interactive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Reporting Person” or “Liberty”), on December 30, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on May 15, 2012, Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on December 11, 2012, and Amendment No. 3 filed with the Commission on October 16, 2013 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), is hereby further amended and supplemented to include the information set forth herein.  This amended statement on Schedule 13D/A (the “Amendment”) constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D and is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing for the Reporting Person.  Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The information contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

On August 27, 2014, the Reporting Person completed its previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its subsidiary, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“Spinco”), which, at the time of the Spin-Off, held, among other things, 100% of the Reporting Person’s interest in the Issuer and the Reporting Person’s 100% ownership interest in its BuySeasons business (collectively, the “Spin-Off Assets”). The Spin-Off was accomplished through the distribution, by means of a dividend, by the Reporting Person to the holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock of all of the outstanding shares of Spinco’s common stock. As a result of the Spin-Off, Spinco became a separate publicly traded company and holds all of the Spin-Off Assets.
