Other Events.

On July 28, 2014, Zillow, Inc. (“Zillow”), Zebra Holdco, Inc., a newly formed holding company (“Holdco”), and Trulia, Inc. (“Trulia”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Zillow will acquire Trulia (“the Proposed Transaction”).

On November 17, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective the registration statement on Form S-4 (which contains a joint proxy statement/prospectus) filed by Holdco in connection with the Proposed Transaction and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. On November 17, 2014, Holdco filed a final joint proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to make available the document that will be mailed to Zillow shareholders and Trulia stockholders in connection with the respective special meetings.

On November 18, 2014, Zillow announced that the special meeting of its shareholders, at which the shareholders will be asked to approve the Merger Agreement and other matters related to the Proposed Transaction, will be held on December 18, 2014 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time at the offices of Perkins Coie LLP, 1201 Third Avenue, 48^th Floor, Seattle, Washington 98101. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2014 will be entitled to vote at the special meeting.
