Allocation of CEO Compensation and Certain Expenses
Joseph Levin, CEO of IAC and Chairman of Angi, was appointed CEO of Angi on October 10, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the period from October 10, 2022 to December 31, 2022, IAC allocated $9.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in costs to Angi (including salary, benefits, stock-based compensation and costs related to the CEO’s office). These costs were allocated from IAC based upon time spent on Angi by Mr. Levin. Management considers the allocation method to be reasonable. The allocated costs also include costs directly attributable to the Company that were initially paid for by IAC and billed by IAC to the Company.
The Combination and Related Agreements
The Company and IAC, in connection with the Combination, entered into a contribution agreement; an investor rights agreement; a services agreement; a tax sharing agreement; and an employee matters agreement, which collectively govern the relationship between IAC and Angi Inc.
Contribution Agreement
The contribution agreement sets forth the agreements between the Company and IAC regarding the principal transactions necessary for IAC to separate the Angi business from IAC's other businesses, as well as governs certain aspects of our
relationship. Under the contribution agreement, the Company agreed to assume all of the assets and liabilities related to the Angi business and agreed to indemnify IAC against any losses arising out of any breach by the Company of the contribution agreement or the other transaction related agreements described below. IAC also agreed to indemnify the Company against any losses arising out of any breach by IAC of the contribution agreement or any of the other transaction related agreements described below.
Investor Rights Agreement
The investor rights agreement provides IAC with certain registration, preemptive, and governance rights related to the Company and the shares of its capital stock it holds, as well as certain governance rights for the benefit of stockholders other than IAC.
Services Agreement
The services agreement governs services that IAC provides to the Company including, among others: (i) assistance with certain legal, M&A, finance, risk management, internal audit and treasury functions, health and welfare benefits, information security services and insurance and tax affairs, including assistance with certain public company and unclaimed property reporting obligations and (ii) accounting, investor relations services, and tax compliance services. The services agreement automatically renews annually for an additional one-year period for so long as IAC continues to own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company was charged $6.4 million, $3.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, by IAC for services rendered pursuant to the services agreement. There were no outstanding payables pursuant to the services agreement as of December 31, 2023. There was $0.8 million in outstanding payables pursuant to the services agreement as of December 31, 2022.
Tax Sharing Agreement
The tax sharing agreement governs the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the Company and IAC with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, entitlements to refunds, preparation of tax returns, tax contests and other tax matters regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Company is generally responsible and required to indemnify IAC for: (i) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return of IAC or its subsidiaries that includes the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent attributable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as determined under the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) all taxes imposed with respect to any of the Company's or its subsidiaries’ consolidated, combined, unitary or separate tax returns.
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had outstanding payables of $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, due to IAC pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, which are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities,” in the balance sheet. There were no payments to or refunds from IAC pursuant to this agreement during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. There were $1.5 million of payments to IAC pursuant to this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Employee Matters Agreement
The employee matters agreement addresses certain compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefit issues related to the allocation of liabilities associated with: (i) employment or termination of employment, (ii) employee benefit plans and (iii) equity awards. Under the employee matters agreement, the Company's employees participate in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan and the Company reimburses IAC for the costs of such participation. In the event IAC no longer retains shares representing at least 80% of the aggregate voting power of shares entitled to vote in the election of the Company’s Board of Directors, Angi will no longer participate in IAC’s employee benefit plans, but will establish its own employee benefit plans that will be substantially similar to the plans sponsored by IAC prior to the Combination.
In addition, the employee matters agreement requires the Company to reimburse IAC for the cost of any IAC equity awards held by Angi current and former employees, with IAC having the ability to elect to receive payment in cash or shares of our Class B common stock. This agreement also provides that IAC has the ability to require that stock appreciation rights granted
prior to the closing of the Combination and equity awards denominated in shares of our subsidiaries to be settled in either shares of our Class A common stock or IAC common stock. To the extent that shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, the Company is obligated to reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing shares of our Class A common stock in the case of stock appreciation rights granted prior to the closing of the Combination and shares of our Class B common stock in the case of equity awards denominated in shares of our subsidiaries.
Lastly, pursuant to the employee matters agreement, in the event of a distribution of Angi Inc. capital stock to IAC stockholders in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the IAC Board of Directors has the exclusive authority to determine the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards. Such authority includes (but is not limited to) the ability to convert all or part of IAC equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the distribution into equity awards denominated in shares of our Class A Common Stock, which we would be obligated to assume and which would be dilutive to our stockholders.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there have been no IAC equity awards held by Angi Inc. employees exercised or vested, and no exercises and settlements of stock appreciation rights, that would require, pursuant to the employee matters agreement, reimbursement to IAC in Class A and Class B common stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to the employee matters agreement, 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock were issued to a subsidiary of IAC as reimbursement for IAC common stock issued in connection with the exercise and settlement of certain stock appreciation rights and 0.2 million shares of Angi Inc. Class B common stock were issued to a subsidiary of IAC as reimbursement for shares of IAC common stock in connection with the exercise and vesting of IAC equity awards held by Angi Inc. employees.
