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 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 Spincos common stock.
