EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Reference is made to the registration statement on Form S-8 (SEC File No. 333-18763) filed by IAC/InterActiveCorp (formerly known as HSN, Inc.) (“IAC”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 24, 1996 (the “1996 Registration Statement”) to register 8,602,033 shares of Common Stock (the “Securities”) issuable upon the exercise of stock options issuable in connection with grants of awards under the Amended and Restated Savoy Pictures Entertainment, Inc.

As of the date of this filing, all of the stock options issued pursuant to the Plans have been exercised or have expired in accordance with their terms.  Accordingly, IAC is hereby filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the 1996 Registration Statement to remove any remaining Securities from registration under the 1996 Registration Statement.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

 

(a)                      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)                    to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

(i)                       include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

 

(ii)                    reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effect amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii)                 include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however; that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a) (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement;

 

(2)                         that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

(3)                         to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and

 

(b)                     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of a registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

(c)                      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
