Exhibit 99.6

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On January 2, 2014, Groupon, Inc., ("Groupon" or the "Company") through its direct subsidiary Groupon Trailblazer, Inc., completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of LivingSocial Korea, Inc., a Korean corporation including its subsidiary Ticket Monster Inc., a Korean corporation, from LivingSocial Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LivingSocial"), and LivingSocial B.V., a Netherlands limited liability company and direct subsidiary of LivingSocial for $100.0 million in cash and Groupon, Inc. Class A common stock with a fair value of $162.9 million.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements have been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 for Groupon, Inc. and LivingSocial Korea, Inc. is presented as if the acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of Groupon, Inc. and LivingSocial Korea, Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012 are presented as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial position would have been if the transaction had occurred on the dates indicated and are not intended to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts existing upon finalization of the acquisition.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition price presented in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquired goodwill represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements contained herein do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue, tax, or other synergies that may result from the acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma adjustments and primary assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes of LivingSocial Korea, Inc. and Ticket Monster Inc. included in Exhibit 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Groupon, Inc. included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PRELIMINARY ESTIMATED ACQUISITION PRICE ALLOCATION
The preliminary acquisition price allocation for LivingSocial Korea, Inc. is based on estimates, assumptions, and valuations which have not yet been finalized. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments to allocate the acquisition consideration will remain preliminary until Groupon management determines the fair values of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. The preliminary amounts allocated to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on Groupon management's current best estimates. The fair values of net tangible assets acquired are expected to approximate their net carrying amounts.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the aggregate acquisition price (in thousands):
