IAC Acquires a Minority Stake in The HealthCentr...(to target and engage consumers is becomi...),Health

IAC's stake in THCN follows a recent investment in Medem, an integrated suite of web-based physician-patient communication services, made in the first half of 2007. Both initiatives reflect the company's recent foray into the health services category.

Today's move comes after IAC's November 2007 announcement of plans to separate IAC into five publicly traded companies, spinning off HSN, Ticketmaster, Interval International and LendingTree. Expected to be completed in the second or third quarter of 2008, the new IAC will include:

-- The businesses currently comprising its Media & Advertising sector:
