Official Message from Galileo Americas

By now you may have heard the exciting news that Cendant reached agreement with the Blackstone Group for the purchase of Travelport. Blackstone Group is a highly respected and successful private equity firm with interests in the travel sector. I‘m very excited about having Travelport and Galileo join the Blackstone Family. This constitutes a strong vote of confidence for Travelport and will accelerate our ability to be laser-focused in supporting our customers and partners in travel distribution.

This transaction, expected to close in August 2006, will have no impact on our customers, our products or our services. In fact, we are pleased that our future affiliation with the Blackstone Group better positions Galileo for continued growth and prosperity. Travelport's sale to Blackstone is a true endorsement of our business, our industry-leading products and our position as the world’s largest and most geographically dispersed business in the $6 trillion global travel industry.

As a private company, Travelport will now have considerablymore flexibility and firepower to take advantage of burgeoning opportunities in the travel market. Our unmatched global reach and local expertise, our team of professionals, 8,000 strong, and our unique portfolio of assets, is a great combination for future success in the flourishing travel space.

As always, we will continue to keep you informed of future developments as information becomes available.

Sincerely,

Dave Falter
President, Galileo Americas
