| Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
As previously announced, on May 25, 2021, Vimeo, Inc. (“Vimeo” or the “Company”) became an independent, publicly traded company as a result of the completion of a series of transactions (the “Spin-off”) separating the Vimeo business from the other businesses of IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”). In connection with the consummation of the Spin-off, pursuant to which Vimeo equity awards were issued as part of the adjustment of certain outstanding IAC equity awards, on June 7, 2021, Vimeo entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “RSA”) with Joseph Levin, IAC’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Vimeo board of directors. The terms of the RSA were determined pursuant to the existing requirements of Mr. Levin’s restricted stock agreement with IAC as in effect prior to the Spin-off. The material terms of the RSA are described below.
The RSA provides for a grant of 4,870,500 shares of Vimeo restricted common stock (“Vimeo Restricted Shares”), that cliff vest on November 5, 2030, based on satisfaction of the stock price targets set forth below and Mr. Levin’s continuous service as a Vimeo director through the vesting date. The number of Vimeo Restricted Shares subject to the RSA is the result of the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of IAC subject to Mr. Levin’s restricted stock agreement with IAC, multiplied by 1.6235, the exchange ratio in the Spin-off.
| Vimeo Stock Price | Number of Shares Vesting | |||
| less than $29.43 | 0 | |||
| $29.43 | 811,750 | |||
| $37.45 | 3,247,000 | |||
| $47.38 | 4,464,625 | |||
| $59.63 or greater | 4,870,500 | |||
Mr. Levin may elect to accelerate vesting of the Vimeo Restricted Shares, effective on the 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th anniversary of the original effective date of the IAC restricted stock agreement (November 5, 2020) (the “Effective Date”), in which case performance will be measured through such date, and Mr. Levin will receive a pro-rated portion of the award (based on the years elapsed from the Effective Date) and any remaining shares will be forfeited. The applicable stock price goals are proportionately lower on the earlier vesting dates. Mr. Levin is not permitted to transfer any shares that vest pursuant to an early vesting election until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.
Upon a termination of Mr. Levin’s service as a Vimeo director due to Mr. Levin’s failure to be elected to the board at a time when he has agreed to serve as a director (subject to certain exceptions, including Mr. Levin’s removal from the board for Cause (as defined in the RSA) or Mr. Levin’s failure to be elected to the board following the occurrence of Cause) on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, 2,435,250 of the Vimeo Restricted Shares will vest. Upon a termination as described in the immediately preceding sentence after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, a pro-rata portion of the Vimeo Restricted Shares will vest based on the product obtained by multiplying (1) 4,870,500 by (2) a fraction, (a) the numerator of which equals the sum (not to exceed 120) of (i) the number of full and partial months from the Effective Date through the service termination date and (ii) twenty-four, and (b) the denominator of which equals 120.
In the event of Mr. Levin’s death or disability, the Vimeo Restricted Shares will vest based on stock price performance through the date of service termination (taking into account the shortened performance period), subject to pro-ration based on the portion of the full term that has elapsed through the termination date. In addition, a specified percentage of the Vimeo Restricted Shares ranging from 30% to 100% will vest upon a Change in Control (as defined in the RSA Agreement), depending on the timing of such Change in Control.
Mr. Levin has the right to vote the Vimeo Restricted Shares prior to vesting and will be entitled to receive ordinary course cash dividends (on a current, unrestricted basis) on a specified number of Vimeo Restricted Shares as set forth in the RSA. Under the terms of the RSA, Mr. Levin will share (by forfeiting shares otherwise earned) with Vimeo employees ten percent of the portion of the award that vests.
The above summary of the RSA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On June 4, 2021, Barry Diller, Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC, and certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “Diller Parties”) entered into a Voting Agreement with Mr. Levin (the “Voting Agreement”), providing for the following:
Board Election. The Diller Parties agreed to vote all shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”) held by them in favor of Mr. Levin’s election to the Vimeo board of directors at each meeting of Vimeo stockholders at which Mr. Levin stands for election.
Contingent Matters. Prior to a vote of Vimeo stockholders being taken on specified Contingent Matters (as defined below), Mr. Diller (or following Mr. Diller’s death or disability, Alexander von Furstenberg or his successor), in consultation with the other Diller Parties, and Mr. Levin will seek agreement on how to vote the shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by the Diller Parties. If an agreement is not reached to support the proposed Contingent Matter, the Diller Parties will vote all shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by them against the proposal. “Contingent Matters” include, subject to specified exceptions: (i) a material acquisition or disposition of any assets or business by Vimeo or its subsidiaries, (ii) the entry into a material new line of business and (iii) the spin-off or split off to Vimeo stockholders of (or similar transaction involving) a material business of the Company.
Right of First Discussion. If any of the Diller Parties determines to sell shares of Class B Common Stock to a person other than a Permitted Holder (as defined in the Vimeo, Inc. 2021 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan), they will discuss with Mr. Levin selling the shares to him prior to such other sale.
Termination. The Voting Agreement will automatically terminate upon a Change in Control of Vimeo (as defined in the Voting Agreement) or the termination of Mr. Levin’s service as a director of Vimeo.
The above summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

-6-
4. Adjustments
The Award, including the applicable performance goals, shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Plan, as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board (with Levin recusing himself from any such Board determination) in a reasonable, good faith manner designed to be consistent with the underlying principles and overall intent and thrust of (a) this Agreement and (b) the Voting Agreement and (c) the IAC Award.
5. Release of Shares
Subject to Levin’s satisfaction of the tax obligations described immediately below under “Taxes and Withholding,” and the requirements of Section 3(b) of this Agreement, evidence of the removal of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock that have vested under this Agreement shall be provided to Levin as soon as practicable following the date on which the restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock have lapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vimeo shall be entitled to maintain the restrictions on transfer applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock that have vested under this Agreement until Vimeo or the agent selected by Vimeo to administer the Plan (the “Agent”) has received from Levin: (i) a duly executed Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable or (ii) payment for any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such Award.
6. Taxes and Withholding
No later than the date as of which an amount in respect of any portion of the Award first becomes includible in Levin’s gross income for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes, Vimeo or its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates shall deduct any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount due to Levin by reducing the number of shares of Vimeo Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. In the event shares of Vimeo Common Stock are deducted to cover tax withholdings, the number of shares of Vimeo Common Stock withheld shall generally have a value based on the Vimeo FMV equal to the aggregate amount of Vimeo’s withholding obligation on the same date. If the event that any such deduction and/or withholding is prohibited by law, Levin shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the vesting of the Award, pay to Vimeo, or make arrangements satisfactory to Vimeo regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.
7. [RESERVED]
8. Rights as a Stockholder
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or this Agreement, Levin shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock covered by the Award, all of the rights of a stockholder of Vimeo holding shares of Vimeo Common Stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that (a) cash dividends on shares of restricted Vimeo Common Stock covered by the Award shall be paid solely with respect to the number of shares of restricted Vimeo Common Stock determined in accordance with the “Ordinary Cash Dividend Determination Matrix” set forth below, and (b) subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Plan, dividends payable in shares of Vimeo Common Stock shall be paid in the form of shares of Restricted Stock, held subject to the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock covered by the Award.

9. Conflicts and Interpretation
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control; provided that (a) an action or provision that is permissive under the terms of the Plan, and required under this Agreement, shall not be deemed a conflict and this Agreement shall control and (b) in all other cases the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner that gives maximum effect to the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern including, without limitation, the provisions thereof pursuant to which the Compensation Committee has the power, among others, to: (x) interpret the Plan, (y) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and (z) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; provided that, in the event of a dispute between Vimeo and Levin, Section 12 of this Agreement will apply and the court need not give deference to any Compensation Committee interpretation.
10. Amendment
This Agreement and the Award shall not be modified in any respect except by a writing executed by each party hereto.

11. Data Protection
The acceptance of the Award constitutes Levin’s authorization of the release from time to time to Vimeo or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and to the Agent (together, the “Relevant Companies”) of any and all personal or professional data that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Award and/or the Plan (the “Relevant Information”). Without limiting the above, this authorization permits Vimeo to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information (including any professional and personal data that may be useful or necessary for the purposes of the administration of the Award and/or the Plan and/or to implement or structure any further grants of equity awards (if any)). The acceptance of the Award also constitutes Levin’s authorization of the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction in which Vimeo or the Agent considers appropriate. Levin shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information, which will only be used in accordance with applicable law.
12. Governing Law; Jurisdiction
This Agreement and the legal relations thus created between the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed under and in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute under this Agreement will be heard and determined before the Delaware Chancery Court located in Wilmington, Delaware, or, if not maintainable therein, then in an appropriate federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware, and each party hereto submits itself and its property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the foregoing courts with respect to such disputes. Each party hereto (a) agrees that service of process may be made by mailing a copy of any relevant document to the address of the party set forth in the Employment Agreement, (b) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the courts referred to above on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise as regards any dispute between the parties hereto arising out of or related to this Agreement, (c) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in the courts referred to above as regards any dispute between the parties hereto arising out of or related to this Agreement and (d) agrees that a judgment or order of any court referred to above in connection with any dispute between the parties hereto arising out of or related to this Agreement is conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
