The Employee Matters Agreement dated as of November 24, 2015, by and between IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) and Match Group, Inc. (the “Company”), as amended effective as of April 13, 2016 (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), provides, among other things, that with respect to equity awards denominated in shares of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, IAC may elect to cause such equity awards to be settled in either shares of IAC common stock, par value $0.001 (“IAC Common Stock”) or Company common stock, par value $0.001 (“Company Common Stock”) and, to the extent that shares of IAC Common Stock are issued in settlement of such equity awards, the Company will reimburse IAC for the cost of such shares of IAC Common Stock by issuing additional shares of Company Common Stock to IAC. The Employee Matters Agreement also provides that the Company will reimburse IAC for the cost of any IAC equity wards held by the Company’s employees and former employees and that IAC may elect to receive payment either in cash or Company Common Stock.
On June 30, 2017, 156,715 shares of Company Common Stock were issued to IAC as reimbursement for shares of IAC Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of IAC stock options held by Match Group employees.
