The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held at The Alexander at 333 South Delaware Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, on Friday, September 29, 2017, at 10 a.m., Eastern time.

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of Angie's List common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned or held in treasury by Angie's List, which will automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist for no consideration) will be converted into the right to receive, at the holder's election (i) in the case of a share of Angie's List common stock with respect to which an election to receive a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of ANGI Homeservices (a "Class A share") has been properly made and not revoked or lost, one Class A share or (ii) in the case of a share of Angie's List common stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been properly made and not revoked or lost, $8.50 in cash, without interest (the "Cash Consideration"), but subject to the proration provisions described in the Merger Agreement.  Immediately following the closing of the Merger, depending on the number of Angie's List stockholders that elect to receive Cash Consideration, former holders of Angie's List common stock and equity awards are expected to hold, in the aggregate, Class A shares representing between approximately 10% (assuming Angie's List stockholders elect to receive the maximum aggregate Cash Consideration) and 13% (assuming no Angie's List stockholders elect to receive Cash Consideration) of the economic interest in ANGI Homeservices common stock (on a fully diluted basis, calculated using the treasury stock method), and less than 2% of the total voting power of ANGI Homeservices common stock, and IAC is expected to hold shares of Class B common stock of ANGI Homeservices which, together with Class A shares underlying equity awards in respect of HomeAdvisor, Inc. to be converted into awards in respect of ANGI Homeservices, will represent between approximately 87% and 90% of the economic interest (on a fully diluted basis, calculated using the treasury stock method) and approximately 98% of the total voting power of ANGI Homeservices common stock.  Angie's List stockholders who wish to make an election with respect to the consideration to be received in the Merger must deliver a properly completed election form to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. by 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on Thursday, September 28 (the "Election Deadline"), which is the day prior to the date of the Special Meeting.  Angie's List stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other fiduciary may be subject to an earlier deadline than the Election Deadline for making such election with respect to such shares of Angie's List common stock.  Such Angie's List stockholders should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other fiduciary with any questions and to receive the appropriate instruction forms.  BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, ANGIE'S LIST'S STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER.

Angie's List expects the Merger to close in the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2017.
