If Mr. Diller ceases to control IAC, Liberty Media Corporation may effectively control IAC. Third Party Relationships IAC businesses depend on their relationships with third party distribution channels, suppliers and advertisers and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse Events and Trends Adverse events or trends in the various industries in which IAC businesses operate could harm IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. Marketing The failure of IAC businesses to attract and retain customers in a cost-effective manner could adversely affect IAC's business, financial condition and results of operations. Changing Customer Requirements and Industry Standards IAC businesses may not be able to adapt quickly enough to changing customer requirements and industry standards. Internet Usage and Online Migration IAC's future success depends upon the continued and widespread use and acceptance of the internet as a medium for commerce. Acquisitions IAC may experience operational and financial risks in connection with acquisitions.
