ORGANIZATION | NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION MTCH Separation: On December 19, 2019, IAC/InterActiveCorp (“Old IAC”) entered into a Transaction Agreement (as amended as of April 28, 2020 and June 22, 2020, the “Transaction Agreement”) with Match Group, Inc. (“Old MTCH”), IAC Holdings, Inc. (“New IAC” or the “Company”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Old IAC, and Valentine Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Old IAC. On June 30, 2020, the businesses of Old MTCH were separated from the remaining businesses of Old IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) Old IAC, which was renamed Match Group, Inc. (“New Match”) and which owns the businesses of Old MTCH and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) New IAC, which was renamed IAC/InterActiveCorp, and which owns Old IAC’s other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old MTCH (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match. This transaction is referred to as the “MTCH Separation”. Spin-off: On December 22, 2020, IAC announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin-off its full stake in Vimeo to IAC shareholders. IAC’s Vimeo business will be separated from the remaining businesses of IAC through a series of transactions (which we refer to as the “Spin-off”) that, if completed in their entirety, will result in the transfer of IAC’s Vimeo business to Vimeo Holdings, Inc. (“SpinCo”), a newly formed subsidiary of IAC, with SpinCo becoming an independent, separately traded public company through a spin-off from IAC, and Vimeo, the IAC subsidiary that currently holds the Vimeo business, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpinCo. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions including final approval by IAC’s Board of Directors, approval of the separation proposal by IAC stockholders, and other customary conditions and approvals and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021.
