USAI ORGANIZES BUSINESSES INTO THREE UNITS
INFORMATION, ENTERTAINMENT AND DIRECT SELLING AS ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE
New York, NY - June 22, 2000 - USA Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAI) today announced
that it is organizing the Company's businesses into three distinct but
interrelated units. USA Entertainment, USA Electronic Retailing and the
formation of a new group: USA Information and Services.
Barry Diller said, "Over the last five years, we have completed 15 acquisitions,
grown revenues eight-fold to more than $4 billion, increased our market value
from $230 million to approximately $18 billion and have increased our share
price at greater than 40% per annum. And while we fully expect continued
strength in our operations going forward, course correcting adaptations are
vital to the execution of a focused agenda."
"Fundamental in understanding this Company is that we consider interactivity a
core competency. For us, it isn't the interactive extension of our business
lines to exploit a brave new world...it is a founding principle. Beginning with
the acquisition of Silver King Communications and Home Shopping Network, we felt
that the primitive convergence of telephones, televisions and computers which
allowed HSN to function, would give us great opportunities in what we then
somewhat grandly called Electronic Retailing. We believed the same
infrastructure involved in the basic activity of scaling such a large business
would also create opportunities in an interactive future. Then
followed a series of internal initiatives and acquisitions as the world evolved
via the Internet into the new convergence of Information, Entertainment and
Direct Selling."
"Throughout this short but convulsive period, this Company has
taken its roots in direct selling and related infrastructure and launched new
business initiatives together with a series of acquisitions now beginning to
reach critical mass. We believe by organizing these once seemingly disparate
parts into a coherent whole, that the power of the sum of those parts can begin
to emerge."
The three business units are as follows:
USA INFORMATION AND SERVICES : THE INFORMATION
- ----------------------------------------------
USA Information and Services (USAIS) combines a group of businesses engaged in
various forms of interactivity. Jon Miller, currently President and Chief
Executive Officer of USA Electronic Commerce and Services, will become President
and CEO of USAIS. "Mr. Miller's experience in broadcasting, cable and with USA's
own ECS division, where he engineered electronic commerce agreements with the
NBA, NFL and PGA TOUR, make him an exceptionally strong visionary and leader for
this important role," said Mr. Diller.
The Company will give consideration in the future to the possibility of an
initial public offering in USAIS as well as the purchase in the open market of
Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch securities, as part of USAi's strategy to retain
significant equity stakes or increase its ownership positions in its public
subsidiaries.

entreprenuerialism, is why I am so optimistic about the businesses we are every
day building."
