RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risks as well as the other
information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before
making a decision to invest in our common stock.
We Are Subject to United States Governmental Regulation
U.S. Department of Transportation regulations (the "U.S. CRS Rules")
govern several elements of the computer reservation system ("CRS") industry. To
the extent that a CRS is offered to travel agencies within the United States,
the U.S. CRS Rules apply to the operation of that system and its marketing to
travel agencies and airlines. The U.S. CRS Rules require an airline that
directly or indirectly owns five percent or more of a CRS to participate in all
other airline-owned CRSs at the same level of functionality at which it
participates in its own CRS. Accordingly, CRS owners such as Continental
Airlines, Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines and TWA all participate at high
levels of functionality within our systems. Although we do not believe that any
of these airlines would terminate its participation in our systems entirely,
certain airlines have indicated that they would not participate equally in all
CRSs in the absence of the U.S. CRS Rules. The expiration of the U.S. CRS Rules
has been extended by the U.S. Department of Transportation to March 2001. In the
event that such rules were to expire at that time, the decision by several
airlines to downgrade their participation in our systems could result in a
significant decrease in fees from such airlines. This, in turn, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We Are Subject to European Union Governmental Regulation
We are also subject to detailed regulation in the European Union (the
"EU CRS Rules"). The main purpose of the EU CRS Rules is to encourage free
competition among airline vendors by ensuring that all airline vendors and
subscribers have equal access to all CRSs operating in the European Union and
that the systems and displays of CRSs are neutral and non-discriminatory to all
airline vendors, regardless of the size of the airline and whether or not it is
an owner of a CRS.
The EU CRS Rules state that fees charged by CRSs must be
non-discriminatory, reasonably structured and reasonably related to the cost of
the service provided and used and, in particular, must be the same for the same
level of service. CRS bills must be sufficiently detailed to allow participating
airlines and subscribers to see exactly which services have been used and
participating airlines may disallow certain bookings unless they have previously
accepted them. There can be no assurance that the European Commission will not
challenge our fee structure or put pressure on us to reduce fees charged to
certain vendors. Any such action could have the effect of decreasing revenues
earned by us in Europe. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
4
<PAGE>
A Decline in Air Travel May Hurt Our Business
Because most of our revenues come from the travel industry, events
affecting the travel industry can significantly affect our earnings. In
particular, because much of our revenue consists of fees generated by airline
bookings, our earnings are especially sensitive to events that affect airline
travel and the airlines that participate in our systems. Political instability,
armed hostilities, terrorism, recession, inflation, strikes, lockouts or other
labor disturbances may, if they cause a significant decline in the volume of air
travel or an overall downturn in the business and operations of our travel
vendor customers, adversely affect our business.
Competition to Attract and Retain Travel Agency Subscribers Could Have a
Negative Effect on Our Business
Competition to attract and retain travel agency subscribers is intense.
The failure to renew travel agency contracts or obtain new subscribers could
negatively impact our business. In highly competitive markets, we and our
competitors offer incentive payments to travel agency subscribers if certain
productivity or booking volume growth targets are achieved. Although continued
expansion of the use of incentive payments could adversely affect our
profitability, our failure to continue to make these payments could result in
the loss of some travel agency subscribers. If we were to lose a significant
portion of our current base of travel agencies to a competitor or if we were
forced to increase the amounts of incentive payments significantly, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, our five largest travel agency subscriber
customers, measured by 1999 bookings, accounted for approximately 20% of our
bookings. The loss of bookings generated by one or more of these travel
agencies, without replacement, could negatively impact our business.
Failure to Maintain Technological Competitiveness and to Make Technological
Innovations May Have a Negative Effect on Our Business
It is important that we make timely and cost-effective enhancements and
additions to our technology and introduce new products that meet the business
demands of our travel vendor and subscriber customers. The success of new
products depends on several factors, including:
o identifying the needs of travel vendors and subscribers,
o developing and introducing new products in a timely manner,
o managing the cost of new product development,
o differentiating new products from those of our competitors, and
o achieving market acceptance of new products.
Our business could suffer if we fail to identify and develop new
products in a timely manner, if products developed by others render our
offerings obsolete or noncompetitive or if we
5
<PAGE>
make substantial investments in technologies that do not achieve broad
acceptance in the marketplace.
Our Technology Costs Are Substantial and Cannot Be Quickly Reduced in Response
to a Reduction in Revenue
We have made a significant investment in our technology infrastructure.
As a result, our operating expenses are largely fixed and our technology costs
would remain relatively constant even if our booking volumes were to decline. A
prolonged reduction in booking volumes could adversely affect our financial
condition.
Damage to Key Data Facilities Could Adversely Affect Our Business
Our data and transaction processing services are dependent on our Data
Center, located near Denver, Colorado. Although we believe that we have taken
sufficient precautions to protect this facility, a natural or manmade disaster
or other calamity that causes significant damage to the facility or our systems
would adversely affect our business. We also rely on several communications
companies in the United States and internationally to provide network
connections between our Data Center and our travel vendor and subscriber
customers. If any of the communications companies are unable to provide the
network connections and our contingency plans fail, our business would suffer.
An Increase in Direct Access to Travel Vendors Could Hurt Our Business
Travel vendors have increasingly been providing direct access to their
reservation systems through their web sites, which potentially bypass CRSs. A
significant increase in direct access to travel vendors may divert bookings away
from our CRSs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
Our Expansion Into Developing and New CRS Markets Could Encounter Unforeseen
Difficulties
We intend to expand our global distribution by penetrating and
developing new CRS markets. These markets generally exhibit lower levels of
technology and less developed communications infrastructures than mature CRS
markets. We may face different cost structures in these markets from those that
exist elsewhere. In particular, communications costs in new and developing CRS
markets may be higher than in mature markets. Furthermore, in attempting to
penetrate these markets, we may encounter other challenges inherent in
international expansion, including hiring and training qualified employees,
consumer acceptance of our technology, governmental approvals, trade and tariff
barriers and political risk. If we are unable to respond to these risks, we may
not be able to effectively pursue our strategy of penetrating these markets or
may not be able to derive sufficient benefit from expansion into these markets.
6
<PAGE>
Failure to Transition to a New Internet Protocol-Based Network as Planned May
Have a Negative Effect on Our Business
It is important that we execute our business plan for Quantitude, our
wholly-owned network communications subsidiary. Our inability to deliver a new
Internet protocol-based network to Galileo and to outside customers within the
cost and time frame currently estimated could negatively impact our business.
An Increase in Bookings on Internet Travel Sites Could Hurt Our Business
Consumers are increasingly making more travel reservations through
online travel websites and less through traditional brick & mortar travel
agencies. This channel shift could adversely affect our business as our market
share of Internet websites is lower than in the traditional brick & mortar
agency channel.
ABOUT GALILEO
We are one of the world's leading providers of electronic global
distribution services for the travel industry utilizing a computerized
reservation system, or CRS. We provide our subscriber customers with information
and booking capability for:
o more than 500 airlines,
o approximately 40 car rental companies and
o more than 200 hotel companies representing approximately 45,000
properties throughout the world.
In 1999, we completed approximately 350 million bookings, representing
over $60 billion in travel services. Our CRS is operated through our Data
Center, which is one of the world's largest commercial data processing
complexes. Our Data Center has a system uptime performance record of better than
99.9%.
Our subscriber customers include travel agencies and corporations and
consumers who use our self-booking products. Our travel agency subscriber
customers operate more than 171,000 computer terminals at approximately 40,000
locations in 107 countries.
We believe that, based on revenues, we are the most internationally
diversified provider of electronic global distribution services for the travel
industry. More than 58% of our 1999 global distribution revenues were derived
from bookings made by our subscriber customers outside the United States. We
believe that we have significant market share in many of the most important and
competitive markets for travel services.

o a technologically advanced information system,
o a comprehensive offering of innovative products, and
o a team of highly skilled and incentivized personnel.
Strategy

o capitalizing on opportunities created by increasing Internet use,
o investing in businesses that complement our technology or core
product offerings, thereby increasing the value offered to our
customers, and
o continuing to improve productivity and reduce costs.
Our principal executive offices are located at 9700 West Higgins Road,
Rosemont, Illinois.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any or all of the shares offered hereby may be sold from time to time,
in one or more transactions, on the NYSE, the Chicago Stock Exchange or on any
other exchange on which the shares are listed or traded, in the over-the-counter
market or otherwise. Such sales may be made at prices and at terms then
prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in
negotiated transactions. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended
or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
In addition, any or all of the shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144
might be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The
selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with
respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
11
<PAGE>
In effecting sales, brokers, dealers or agents engaged by the selling
stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers,
dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the
selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated prior to the sale. Such
brokers, dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to
be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with
such sales, and any such commissions, discounts or concessions may be deemed to
be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. We will pay
all expenses incident to the offering and sale of the shares to the public other
than any commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents and any
transfer taxes.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the
market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates.
In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling
stockholders and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this
prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares
offered hereby. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a
prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of
shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any
underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any
discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount,
commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the
proposed selling price to the public.
The sale of shares by the selling stockholders is subject to compliance
by the selling stockholders with certain contractual restrictions with us. There
can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the
shares.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use our reasonable
efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes
a part effective until the earlier of (i) 270 days following the effective date
of such registration statement and (ii) the date on which a prospectus is no
longer required to be delivered under the Securities Act, which is anticipated
to be March 11, 2001.
LEGAL OPINION

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in
summary, that directors and officers of Delaware corporations are entitled,
under certain circumstances, to be indemnified against all expenses and
liabilities (including attorneys' fees) incurred by them as a result of suits
brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful; provided that no indemnification may be made against expenses in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which they shall have been adjudged
to be liable to the Registrant, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, they are fairly and reasonable entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the court shall deem proper. Any such indemnification may be made by the
Registrant only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the
stockholders or disinterested directors that indemnification is proper because
the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of
the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or
other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
<PAGE>
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the Registrant or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) in
respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or purchases;
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated
By-Laws provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same may be amended from time to time.
In addition, the Registrant maintains liability insurance for its
directors and officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
<PAGE>
and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in this Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's Annual Report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
