`On September 3, 2014, in connection with the Federal Trade Commission’s (the “FTC”) review of the pending acquisition of Trulia, Inc., a Delaware
`corporation (“Trulia”), by Zillow, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Zillow”), which will result in both Trulia and Zillow becoming wholly owned subsidiaries
`of Zebra Holdco, Inc. (“HoldCo”) (the “Merger”), Trulia received a request for additional information and documentary material (the “Second Request”) from
`the FTC. Issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 until 30 days after
`Trulia and Zillow have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier
`by the FTC. Trulia and Zillow are gathering information to respond promptly to the Second Request and intend to cooperate with the FTC.
`
`On September 3, 2014, Trulia and Zillow issued a joint press release announcing that they each had received a Second Request from the FTC. A copy

`“intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar
`terms or expressions that concern Trulia’s expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Trulia’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not
`materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected,
`including but not limited to: the ability of the parties to consummate the proposed Merger and satisfaction of closing conditions precedent to the
`consummation of the proposed Merger, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals.
`
`The forward-looking statements contained in this filing are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in
`Trulia’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on March 3,
`2014, as amended on May 23, 2014, and its Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, and those that will be discussed in the
`Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by HoldCo with the SEC at a future date. The forward-looking statements in this filing are based on
`information available to Trulia as of the date hereof, and Trulia disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by

`Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

`Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, statements regarding the ability of the parties to

`transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the risk that the businesses may not be combined successfully or in a timely
`and cost-efficient manner; the possibility that the transaction will not close, including, but not limited to, due to the failure to obtain shareholder approval or
`the failure to obtain governmental approval; and the risk that business disruption relating to the merger may be greater than expected. The foregoing list of
`risks and uncertainties is illustrative, but is not exhaustive. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-
`looking statements can be found under the caption “Risk Factors” in Zillow’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014,
