Scheme receives Court sanction

The Board of ebookers is pleased to announce that, at a hearing today, the High Court sanctioned the scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) to effect the recommended acquisition for cash by Cendant UK Acquisition Corporation of ebookers plc (“ebookers” or the “Company”) announced on 2 December 2004, and confirmed the Capital Reduction associated with the Scheme. The Scheme was approved by ebookers Shareholders on 24 January 2005 at a court meeting and an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

The Scheme is expected to become effective on 28 February 2005. Listing and dealings in ebookers Shares on the London Stock Exchange are expected to be suspended and ebookers Shares are expected to cease to settle in CREST as of 4.30 p.m. (London time) on 25 February 2005.

Application has been made for the listing of ebookers Shares on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority to be cancelled with effect from 1 March 2005. ebookers Shares will cease to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities from the same date.

A request will be made to NASDAQ to cancel the listing of the ebookers ADSs with effect from 28 February 2005. In addition, the Company intends to terminate the Deposit Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. through which the ebookers ADS programme is operated.

Unless otherwise stated, all references to time in this announcement are to London time. The dated in this announcement are indicative only. These dates depend, amongst other things, on the date upon which the Court Order is delivered to the Registrar and whether the Conditions are satisfied or, if capable of waiver, waived.

Capitalised terms used and not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings ascribed to them in the circular to ebookers Shareholders relating to the Scheme dated 22 December 2004.
