ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On March 10, 2000, Galileo International, Inc. (the "Company") and
Galileo Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company ("Galileo AC"), consummated the acquisition of TRIP.com, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("TRIP.com") engaged in the online travel reservations
business. The acquisition was effected by means of a merger of TRIP.com with and
into Galileo AC pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among the Company,
Galileo AC and TRIP.com dated February 7, 2000 (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the
Merger, shareholders of TRIP.com received consideration consisting of an
aggregate of $105,085,947 in cash and 5,499,630 shares of common stock of the
Company, par value $0.01. In addition, certain outstanding options to purchase
shares of common stock of TRIP.com were converted into options to purchase
1,073,331 shares of the common stock of the Company. Following the Merger,
TRIP.com became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The sources of funds
for the cash portion of the Merger consideration were proceeds of a loan under a
$200,000,000 credit facility with Bank of America.

         The amount of the consideration was determined in arms-length
negotiations, wherein the Company and TRIP.com each were represented by
independent counsel and financial advisors. As a condition to the closing of the
Merger, the Company and LaSalle Bank N.A., as escrow agent, entered into an
escrow agreement to provide for the escrow of $20,000,000 of the cash portion of
the Merger consideration. Such escrow will be available for a period of six
months for any adjustments to the Merger consideration that are required by the
Merger Agreement.

                                      -2-
